Standing Above the Rest
Fidelity Select Biotech Fund
 

March 5, 2000

Lately, in the vast sea of Fidelity mutual funds, one particular fund has stood out – the Fidelity Select Biotechnology fund.  This Fidelity fund has found itself smack in the middle of one of the hottest sectors today, biotechnology.  If you look on any mutual fund list of the top performing sector funds over the past few weeks, you will see a familiar name consistently appearing at the top.  The Fidelity Select Biotechnology Fund is well positioned to benefit from the current momentum in biotech and health related growth companies. 

For investors that believe biotechnology represents the second wave of the New Economy (the Internet is the first wave) and are willing to accept more risk (these funds are much more volatile) for the potential for a higher return, this specialty fund, which invests solely in biotech companies, may offer you an unique opportunity to capitalize on the potential for tremendous growth offered by companies pursuing the cures for life-threatening diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
