Certain portions of this report, including, but not limited to, “Results of Operations” and “Recent Developments”, may contain forward-looking statements about the Fund, including its strategy, risks, expected performance and condition. Forward-looking statements include state-ments that are predictive in nature, that depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, or that include words such as “expects”, “antici-pates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates” and similar forward-looking expressions or negative versions thereof.

Management Discussion of Fund PerformanceResults of Operations

Fidelity Global Telecommunications Fund (Fund), Series B, returned -2.6%, after fees and expenses, for the six-month period ended September 30, 2017. The net returns of the other series of this Fund are similar to those of Series B, except for differences attributable to expense structures. Global equities, as represented by the MSCI World Index, returned 2.3% (in Canadian dollar terms).

Market overview:

Global equities registered positive returns amid signs of stabilization in Europe and positive economic data in the U.S. European markets, as represented by the MSCI Europe Index, returned 7.2%, outperforming other global equity markets, with supportive economic data and solid corporate earnings lifting equities. European markets were also supported by the victory of a centrist candidate in the French presidential election. Asian equities gained during the review period, with the MSCI AC (All Country) Asia Pacific Index returning 4.4%, after optimism about global economic growth and improved corporate earnings forecasts in the region boosted sentiment. U.S. markets lagged other global markets, with the S&P 500 Index returning 1.0%; the impact of positive economic data was offset by concerns regarding geopolitical tensions in the Korean peninsula, the implications of hurricanes Harvey and Irma and the Canadian dollar’s appreciation against the U.S. dollar.

Factors affecting performance:

The Fund’s benchmark, the MSCI ACWI (All Country World Index) Telecommunications Index, returned -2.6% for the six-month period under review. The Fund marginally underperformed its benchmark after fees and expenses; however, it outperformed before fees and expenses. Security selection in the diversified telecommunication services industry helped performance, with a lower-than-benchmark exposure to U.S.-based AT&T and higher-than-benchmark exposures to Germany-based Deutsche Telecom, Netherlands-based Koninklijke KPN and New Zealand-based Spark New Zealand all contributing to relative performance. Among other industries, the Fund’s investment in Germany-based Internet services company United Internet contributed to relative performance.

In contrast, the Fund’s exposure to certain stocks in the wireless telecommunication services industry, detracted: an investment in Hong Kong-based SmarTone Telecommunications and a lack of exposure to Canada-based communications and media company Rogers Communications detracted from relative performance. Among other industries, the Fund’s investment in Sweden-based telecommunications equipment and services company Ericsson and a lack of exposure to Norway-based telecommunications company Telenor detracted from relative performance.

Positioning Changes:

Portfolio manager Aditya Shivram is positive about the outlook for the telecommunications services sector, as these companies should benefit from the increase in data usage due to the surge in social networking and video applications. The Fund focuses on holdings that stand to benefit from growing data demand, and the increasing demand for high-speed infrastructure for fixed-line broadband markets where consoli-dation can improve the monetization opportunities for telecommunications companies. Changes to regulation or market structure have the biggest impact on companies in the sector.

As a result, the portfolio manager increased exposure to the wireless telecommunications industry. In particular, the portfolio manager initi-ated investments in Indonesia-based wireless telecommunications services provider PT Sarana Menara Nusantara, owing to its attractive valuation. The portfolio manager also increased exposure to Hong Kong-based SmarTone Telecommunications, which is a well-run company with good returns, a strong balance sheet and a solid dividend yield. In contrast, exposure to the Internet software and services industry, which is not part of the benchmark index, was reduced during the review period; the portfolio manager found more attractive investment options elsewhere.

The Fund’s geographic allocations are a by-product of the manager’s bottom-up fundamental stock selection process, reflecting his intent to add value through stock selection instead of macro-level calls.

Recent Developments

Portfolio manager Aditya Shivram focuses on income-generating stocks and seeks capital appreciation opportunities related to the long-term secular themes of growing data demand, smartphone penetration, European market exposure and cable infrastructure growth. Restructuring

potential is also one of the key aspects of his stock selection process. He remains positive on the U.S., believing that industry pricing is cur-rently stable and that there are expectations of further consolidation.

At the end of the period, the Fund had its largest absolute exposure to the diversified telecommunication services industry, followed by the wireless telecommunication services industry. In terms of regional exposures, North America accounted for the Fund’s largest absolute exposure.

Financial Highlights – continued

Financial Highlights FootnotesA This information is derived from the Fund’s audited annual and/or unaudited interim financial statements. Periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 follow International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and periods prior to January

1, 2013 follow Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (Canadian GAAP). The net assets attributable to securityholders per security presented in the financial statements may differ from the net asset value calculated for fund pricing purposes. An explanation of these differences can be found in the notes to financial statements. For reporting periods ending after January 1, 2017 per security comparative figures (except for net asset value per security, end of period) have been conformed to the current rounding presentation of two decimal places. As a result, reporting periods ending prior to January 1, 2017 may not foot due to this rounding change.

B Net assets and distributions are based on the actual number of securities outstanding at the relevant time. The increase (decrease) from operations is based on the weighted average number of securities outstanding over the financial period. This table is not intended to be a reconciliation of beginning to ending net assets per security.

C Distributions were paid in cash or reinvested in additional securities of the Fund, or both, and excludes any applicable distributions of management fee reduction to securityholders. Distributions are presented based on management’s best estimate of the tax character.

D This information is provided as at period end of the year shown.E Management expense ratio is based on total expenses (excluding distributions, commissions and other portfolio transaction costs) for the stated period and is expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset values during the

period, including the Fund’s pro-rata share of estimated expenses incurred in any underlying investment fund, if applicable.F Effective November 1, 2014, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver at any time, at

its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.G The trading expense ratio represents total commissions and other portfolio transaction costs expressed as an annualized percentage of daily average net asset value during the period, including the Fund’s pro-rata share of estimated trading costs

incurred in any underlying investment fund, if applicable.H The Fund’s portfolio turnover rate indicates how actively the Fund’s portfolio adviser manages its portfolio investments. A portfolio turnover rate of 100% is equivalent to the Fund buying and selling all of the securities in its portfolio once in the

course of the year. The higher the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate in a year, the greater the trading costs payable by the Fund in the year, and the greater chance of an investor receiving taxable capital gains in the year. There is not necessarily a relationship between a high portfolio turnover rate and the performance of the Fund. The portfolio turnover rate is calculated based on the lesser of purchases or sales of securities divided by the weighted average market value of the portfolio securities, excluding short-term securities. For periods greater than six months, but less than a full fiscal year, the portfolio turnover rate is annualized.

I For the period February 5, 2016 (commencement of sale of securities) to March 31, 2016.J Effective February 9, 2016, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver at any time, at its

sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.K For the period December 4, 2015 (commencement of sale of securities) to March 31, 2016.L Effective December 8, 2015, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers. The manager may terminate the waiver at any time, at

its sole discretion. It is not known when such waivers will be terminated.M For the period March 11, 2016 (commencement of sale of securities) to March 31, 2016.N Effective March 15, 2016, the manager of the Fund has waived a portion of its administration fee and as of the date of the MRFP has continued to provide the Fund with such waivers.

Management and Advisory Fees

Fidelity serves as manager and investment advisor of the Fund. The Fund pays Fidelity a monthly management and advisory fee for their services, based on the net asset value of each Series, calculated daily and payable monthly. Fidelity uses these management fees to pay for sales and trailing commissions to registered dealers on the distribution of the Fund securities, as well as for the general investment management expenses. Dealer compensation represents cash commissions paid by Fidelity to registered dealers during the period and includes upfront deferred sales charge and trailing commissions. This amount may, in certain circumstances, exceed 100% of the fees earned by Fidelity during the period. For new Funds or Series the amounts presented may not be indicative of longer term operating periods.

Fidelity’s mutual funds are sold by registered Investment Professionals. Each Fund has a simplified prospectus, which contains important information on the Fund, including its investment objective, purchase options, and applicable charges. Please obtain a copy of the prospectus, read it carefully, and consult your Investment Professional before investing. As with any investment, there are risks to investing in mutual funds. There is no assurance that any Fund will achieve its investment objective, and its net asset value, yield, and investment return will fluctuate from time to time with market conditions. Investors may experience a gain or loss when they sell their securities in any Fidelity Fund. Fidelity Global Funds may be more volatile than other Fidelity Funds as they concentrate investments in one sector and in fewer issuers; no single Fund is intended to be a complete diversified investment program. Past performance is no assurance or indicator of future returns. There is no assurance that either Fidelity Canadian Money Market Fund or Fidelity U.S. Money Market Fund will be able to maintain its net asset value at a constant amount. The breakdown of Fund investments is presented to illustrate the way in which a Fund may invest, and may not be representative of a Fund’s current or future investments. A Fund’s investments may change at any time.
