PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
 
 
 
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
Once the new year begins, many people start reviewing their finances and
calculating their tax bills. No one wants to pay more taxes than they have
to. But a recent survey of 500 U.S. households, conducted by Fidelity and
Yankelovich Partners, showed that few people have taken steps to reduce
their taxes under the new legislation. Many were not even aware that the
new tax laws were retroactive to January 1993. 
Whether or not you're someone whose tax bill will increase as a result of
these changes, it may make sense to consider ways to keep more of what you
earn.
First, if your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) retirement savings plan,
consider enrolling. These plans are set up so you can make regular
contributions - 
before taxes - to a retirement savings plan. They offer a disciplined
savings strategy, the ability to accumulate earnings tax-deferred, and
immediate tax savings. For example, if you earn $40,000 a year and
contribute 7% of your salary to your 401(k) plan, your annual contribution
is $2,800. That reduces your taxable income to $37,200 and, if you're in
the 
28% tax bracket, saves you $784 in Federal taxes. In addition, you pay no
taxes on any earnings until withdrawal. 
It may be a good idea to contact your benefits office as soon as possible
to find out when you can enroll or increase your contribution. Most
employers allow employees to make changes only a few times each year. 
Second, consider an IRA. Many people are eligible to make an IRA
contribution (up to $2,000) that is fully tax deductible. That includes
people who are not covered by company pension plans, or those within
certain income brackets. Even if you don't qualify for a fully deductible
contribution, any IRA earnings will grow tax-deferred until withdrawal. 
Third, consider tax-free investments like municipal bonds and municipal
bond funds. Often these can provide higher after-tax yields than comparable
taxable investments. For example, if you're in the new 36% Federal income
tax bracket and invest $10,000 in a taxable investment yielding 7%, you'll
pay $252 in Federal taxes and receive $448 in income. That same $10,000
invested in a tax-free bond fund yielding 5.5% would allow you to keep $550
in income. 
These are three investment strategies that could help lower your tax bill
in 1994. If you're interested in learning more, please call us at
1-800-544-8888 or visit a Fidelity Investor Center. 
Wishing you a prosperous new year,
Edward C. Johnson 3d, Chairman
PERFORMANCE: THE BOTTOM LINE
 
 
There are several ways to evaluate a fund's historical performance. You can
look at the total percentage change in value, the average annual percentage
change, or the growth of a hypothetical $10,000 investment. Each
performance figure includes changes in a fund's share price, plus
reinvestment of any dividends (or income) and capital gains (the profits
the fund earns when it sells stocks that have grown in value).

Average Capital Appreciation Fund   14.36%   108.75%   205.12%   
 
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage terms
over a set period - in this case, one, five, or 10 years. You can compare
these figures to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Composite
Price Index - a common proxy for the U.S. stock market. You can also
compare them to the average capital appreciation fund, which reflects the
performance of 159 capital appreciation funds tracked by Lipper Analytical
Services. Both benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains,
if any, and exclude the effects of sales charges.

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS:  Let's say you invested $10,000 in Fidelity
Retirement Growth Fund on November 30, 1983. As the chart shows, by
November 30, 1993, the value of your investment would have grown to $42,040
- - a 320.40% increase on your initial investment. For comparison, look at
how the S&P 500 did over the same period. With dividends reinvested,
the same $10,000 investment would have grown to $39,547 - a 295.47%
increase.
UNDERSTANDING
PERFORMANCE
How a fund did yesterday is 
no guarantee of how it will do 
tomorrow. The stock market, 
for example, has a history of 
growth in the long run and 
volatility in the short run. In 
turn, the share price and 
return of a fund that invests in 
stocks will vary. That means if 
you sell your shares during a 
market downturn, you might 
lose money. But if you can 
ride out the market's ups and 
downs, you may have a gain.

FUND TALK: THE MANAGER'S OVERVIEW
 
 
 
MARKET RECAP
Low inflation, falling interest rates 
and a gradually improving 
economy boosted U.S. stocks 
during the 12 months ended 
November 30, 1993. The Standard 
& Poor's 500 index - a broad 
measure of U.S. stock 
performance - rose 10.10%, in 
line with the market's long-term 
average annual return. Continued 
poor performance by tobacco, drug 
and brand-name consumer 
products stocks was offset by 
impressive results in other sectors, 
including technology, although 
semiconductors gave back part of 
their gains in October and 
November. Other market leaders 
were finance, notably securities 
brokers; autos; entertainment; and 
precious metals. Communications 
stocks soared as traditional 
telephone utilities, cellular 
communications companies and 
entertainment companies 
scrambled to form strategic 
alliances. Mergers and acquisitions 
activity resumed at a pace 
reminiscent of the 1980s. The 
NASDAQ Composite Index, which 
tracks over-the-counter stocks, 
rose 15.57% for the year, 
compared to 14.73% for the Dow 
Jones Industrial Average, an index 
of 30 blue-chip stocks. Both trailed 
the Morgan Stanley EAFE 
(Europe, Australia, Far East) index, 
which rose 24.27%. Two widely 
watched benchmarks broke 
records during the period: slow 
growth and the prospect of higher 
taxes helped push the yield on the 
30-year Treasury below 6% in 
early September; meanwhile, the 
Dow closed above 3700 for the 
first time in mid-November, and 
finished the month at 3684.
An interview with Harris Leviton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Retirement
Growth Fund
Q. HARRIS, HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM?
A. Better than its peers. The total return for the 12 months ended November
30, 1993 was 19.47%, compared to 14.36% for the average capital
appreciation fund, according to Lipper Analytical Services. Meanwhile, the
Standard & Poor's 500 index, a broad measure of the U.S. stock market's
performance, rose 10.10%.
Q. HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THE RESULTS?
A. I'm always searching for inexpensive stocks in companies that are
increasing their earnings. They've been hard to find lately in the United
States so I've looked overseas and I've had good luck, especially in Hong
Kong and Malaysia. Hong Kong stocks were 3.4% of investments at the end of
November. Among the winners were Hutchison Whampoa, which has interests in
shipping and cellular communications; and Innovative International, a maker
of car antennas. The percentage of foreign stocks in the fund has risen
steadily over the past year, from roughly 5% a year ago to about 10% in May
and more than 25% at the end of November. Total foreign stocks may decline
slightly in the months ahead, if only because I've begun taking profits. 
Q. WHAT ABOUT EUROPEAN STOCKS?
A. I own very few. Europe has gotten expensive compared to the rest of the
world. And in my view, the outlook for many aging industries in Europe is
dim, even with an economic recovery. My focus instead has been on
fast-growing developing countries - the so-called emerging markets. Among
the more attractive have been Hong Kong; Malaysia; Brazil, where my largest
investment is Telebras, the telephone monopoly; and lately India, which has
the largest middle class in the world and over 6,000 publicly traded
stocks.
Q. WHAT WERE YOUR FAVORITE U.S. SECTORS?
A. The U.S. economy grew very little in 1993, so you had to be picky about
which companies and sectors to invest in. Technology was the largest sector
in the fund at the end of November - 8.9% of total investments. That was
down from 16.3% six months ago, mainly because last fall I began selling
the fund's semiconductor stocks, including Intel and Texas Instruments.
They'd had a good run and it seemed prudent to take profits. After
technology came utilities, mainly telephone companies with exciting growth
prospects like Bell Atlantic. 
Q. IBM SHOWED UP RECENTLY ON YOUR TOP-10 LIST. WHAT'S THE STORY THERE? 
A. The stock is cheap, management is aggressively cutting costs, and IBM's
core business, mainframe computers, seems to be improving. Many questions
remain. But whenever a company is cutting costs and business is better than
expected, it begins to look attractive. If IBM has indeed started to turn
itself around, we could see hard evidence of that as early as the
fourth-quarter earnings report, due out in early 1994. The other thing I
like about IBM is that even if I'm wrong, the risk of further steep
declines is slim.
Q. HAS YOUR STAKE IN WARNER-LAMBERT PAID OFF?
A. Not as much as some other stocks the fund owns. It's still my largest
investment, although I've scaled back over the last six months.
Warner-Lambert has a lot of businesses beyond brand-name drugs that may be
worth more money than the market realizes, including generic drugs, and
candy and gum. They also have a new Alzheimer's drug, which has no
competition. My hope is that soon the market will recognize the stock's
value and its price will rise accordingly. Again, if I'm wrong, I shouldn't
have to pay a big price.
Q. WERE THERE ANY DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Some of the cyclical stocks in the fund - those that tend to move in
tandem with the economy - lost ground unexpectedly, namely Reynolds Metals,
but the damage was slight. I also expected more from Halliburton, an energy
services company, than I got last year; that whole sector failed to produce
expected gains. But overall, it was a year when the disappointments,
thankfully, were few and far between.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. So far in the 1990s, economic growth has been minimal. And yet stock
prices keep spiraling ever higher. We're seeing more and more money chasing
fewer good ideas. Speculation is rising, and the market has gotten more
volatile. While no one can predict what will happen, these are all signs
that in the past have presaged market declines. That's why I'm more
cautious now than I was six months ago. The percentage of cash in the fund
- - 14.7% at the end of November - was recently as high as 20%. I'm not
deliberately raising cash. But when stocks get expensive, I sell them; and
if I can't find enough cheap stocks to replace them, the cash piles up.
Investors have grown accustomed lately to double-digit returns. It would
probably be a good idea to lower those expectations going forward.

HARRIS LEVITON'S INVESTMENT 
STYLE:
"I like to buy growth stocks at 
a discount. Then if the 
company can come through 
with improved earnings, 
there's a good chance the 
market will reward it with a 
higher price-to-earnings ratio.
"A good example of that 
recently was IHOP - 
International House of 
Pancakes - which went 
public last year at $10 a 
share, or 12 times projected 
earnings. At the time, not 
many people thought it was a 
growth company. But 
management took the money 
from the offering and put it 
into renovating the 
restaurants, and earnings 
improved. As the market took 
notice, the stock rose to $28 a 
share, while the 
price-to-earnings ratio 
expanded to 28. Basically, 
what I'm trying to do is get a 
little more reward for a little 
less risk, by buying 
inexpensive stocks."
DISTRIBUTIONS:
The Board of Trustees of 
Retirement Growth Fund 
voted to pay on December 20, 
1993, to shareholders of 
record at the opening of 
business on December 17, 
1993, a distribution of $1.75 
derived from capital gains 
realized from sales of portfolio 
securities and a dividend of 
$.14 from net investment 
income.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1993 
 
 
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES.
Fidelity Retirement Growth Fund (the fund) is a fund of Fidelity Financial
Trust (the trust) and is authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares.
The trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the 1940 Act), as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The following summarizes the
significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Securities for which exchange quotations are readily
available are valued at the last sale price, or if no sale price, at the
closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which
exchange quotations are not readily available (and in certain cases debt
securities which trade on an exchange), are valued primarily using
dealer-supplied valuations or at their fair value as determined in good
faith under consistently applied procedures under the general supervision
of the Board of Trustees. Short-term securities maturing within sixty days
are valued at amortized cost or original cost plus accrued interest, both
of which approximate current value.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The accounting records of the fund are
maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities, other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the current exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities,
income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars at
the exchange rate on the dates of the transactions.
It is not practical to identify the portion of each amount shown in the
fund's Statement of Operations under the caption "Realized and Unrealized
Gain (Loss) on Investments" that arises from changes in foreign currency
exchange rates. Investment income includes net realized and unrealized
currency gains and losses recognized between accrual and payment dates.
INCOME TAXES. As a qualified regulated investment company under Subchapter
M of the Internal Revenue Code, the fund is not subject to income taxes to
the extent that it distributes all of its taxable income for its fiscal
year. The schedule of investments includes information regarding income
taxes under the caption "Income Tax Information."
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date,
except certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date
may have passed, are recorded as soon as the fund is informed of the
ex-dividend date. Interest income, which includes accretion of original
issue discount, is accrued as earned. Dividend and interest income is
recorded net of foreign taxes where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a fund.
Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned between the
funds in the trust.
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING 
POLICIES - CONTINUED
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
2. OPERATING POLICIES.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund may enter into forward foreign
currency contracts. These contracts involve market risk in excess of the
amount reflected in the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The
face or contract amount in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the
fund has in that particular currency contract. The U.S. dollar value of
forward foreign currency contracts is determined using forward currency
exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Losses may arise due to
changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparty does
not perform under the contract.
Purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts having the same
settlement date and broker are offset and presented net on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities. Gain (loss) on the purchase or sale of forward
foreign currency contracts having the same settlement date and broker is
recognized on the date of offset, otherwise gain (loss) is recognized on
settlement date.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The fund, through its custodian, receives delivery
of the underlying securities, whose market value is required to be at least
102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. The fund's investment
adviser, Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR), is responsible
for determining that the value of these underlying securities remains at
least equal to the resale price.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with other
registered investment companies having management contracts with FMR, may
transfer uninvested cash balances into a joint trading account. These
balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements that are
collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in privately placed
restricted securities. These securities may be resold in transactions
exempt from registration or to the public if the securities are registered.
Disposal of these securities may involve time-consuming negotiations and
expense, and prompt sale at an acceptable price may be difficult. At the
end of the period, restricted securities (excluding 144A issues) amounted
to $4,244,000 or .2% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF 
INVESTMENTS. 
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $2,148,845,000 and $2,200,708,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES. 
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a monthly 
basic fee that is calculated on the basis of a group fee rate plus a fixed
individual fund fee rate applied to the average net assets of the fund. The
group fee rate is the weighted average of a series of rates ranging from
.31% to .52% and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the
mutual funds advised by FMR. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%.
The basic fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of +
or - .20%) based on the fund's investment performance as compared to the
appropriate index over a specified period of time. For the period, the
management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of .76% of average net
assets after the performance adjustment.
The Board of Trustees approved a new group fee rate schedule with rates
ranging from .2850% to .5200%. Effective November 1, 1993, FMR has
voluntarily agreed to implement this new group fee rate schedule as it
results in the same or a lower management fee.
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN. Pursuant to the Distribution and Service
Plan (the Plan), and in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, FMR or
the fund's distributor, Fidelity Distributors Corporation (FDC), an
affiliate of FMR, may use their resources to pay administrative and
promotional expenses related to the sale of the fund's shares. Subject to
the approval of the Board of Trustees, the Plan also authorizes payments to
third parties that assist in the sale of the fund's shares or render
shareholder support services. FMR or FDC has informed the fund that
payments made to third parties under the Plan amounted to $31,000 for the
period.
TRANSFER AGENT FEE. Fidelity Service Co. (FSC), an affiliate of FMR, is the
fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent. FSC
receives fees based on the type, size, number of accounts and the number of
transactions made by shareholders. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and
mailing of all shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
ACCOUNTING AND SECURITY LENDING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting
records and administers the security lending program. The security lending
fee is based on the number and duration of lending transactions. The
accounting fee is based on the level of average net assets for the month
plus out-of-pocket expenses.
BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio
transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of FMR. The
commissions paid to these affiliated firms were $1,179,000 for the period.
5. SECURITY LENDING. 
The fund loaned securities to certain brokers who paid the fund negotiated
lenders' fees. These fees are included in interest income. The fund
receives U.S. Treasury obligations and/or cash as collateral against the
loaned securities, in an amount at least equal to 102% of the market value
of the loaned securities at the inception of each loan. This collateral
must be maintained at not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned
securities during the period of the loan. At period end, the value of the
securities loaned and the value of collateral amounted to $42,541,000 and
$44,055,000 respectively. 
6. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED COMPANIES.
An affiliated company is a company in which the fund has ownership of at
least 5% of the voting securities. Transactions with companies which are or
were affiliates are as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
 
 
To the Trustees of Fidelity Financial Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Retirement Growth Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments (except for Moody's and Standard
& Poor's ratings), and the related statements of operations and of
changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Fidelity Retirement Growth
Fund (a fund of Fidelity Financial Trust) at November 30, 1993, the results
of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets
and the financial highlights for the periods indicated in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements and
financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are
the responsibility of the Fidelity Retirement Growth Fund 's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements
based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits, which included confirmation of securities owned at November 30,
1993 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers and the application
of alternative auditing procedures where confirmations from brokers were
not received, provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
