DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
After its first-ever close above 11,000 on the first trading day of
May, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 450 points by
month's end. The Federal Reserve Board's shift in bias toward raising
rates to ward off inflation contributed to the decline. Government
securities followed a similar path during May, as expectations of an
eventual boost in interest rates drove the price of the bellwether
30-year Treasury consistently downwards.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.

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. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertible Securities Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of domestic corporate convertible
securities. To measure how the fund's performance stacked up against
its peers, you can compare it to the convertible securities funds
average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with similar
objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 63 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Convertible Securities Fund on May 31, 1989. As
the chart shows, by May 31, 1999, the value of the investment would
have grown to $41,308 - a 313.08% increase on the initial investment.
For comparison, look at how the Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertible
Securities Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital
gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to
$34,672 - a 246.72% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
With the Federal Reserve Board's
shift in bias toward raising interest
rates to combat inflation, U.S.
equity markets stalled - at least
temporarily - toward the tail end
of the six-month period ending May
31, 1999. Just six months earlier, it
was the Fed's willingness to lower
rates that helped U.S. stock markets
shrug off the ill effects of worldwide
economic doldrums, spurring a
continuation of their bullish
performance into the spring. For the
six-month period, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of
30 blue-chip stocks - returned
16.75%. The tech-heavy NASDAQ
Index rose 26.93% for the period,
while the Standard & Poor's 500
Index - a popular performance
measure of U.S. stock markets -
returned 12.61%. For the month of
May itself, however, the returns for
all three indexes were in negative
territory, testament to the inflation
concerns of anxious investors. The
later stages of the period also were
characterized by a rotation out of
the recently favored large-cap growth
stocks, and into the smaller,
economically sensitive cyclical and
value stocks. What's more, the
previously beleaguered Russell
2000 Index - a popular
performance measure of
small-capitalization stocks -
demonstrated renewed strength,
soundly outperforming the S&P 500
during the last three months of the
period by a count of 12.28% to
5.48%.

An interview with David Felman, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Convertible Securities Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, DAVID?
A. The fund marginally lagged the 15.57% return for the Merrill Lynch
All U.S. Convertible Securities Index. Yet, fund performance was
strong with a 15.24% total return for the six months that ended May
31, 1999. During the same time, the convertible securities funds
average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 10.62%. For the 12 months that
ended May 31, 1999, the fund returned 9.77%. In comparison, the
Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertible Securities Index and the Lipper
convertible securities funds average returned 11.29% and 5.21%,
respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS CAUSED THE FUND TO SIGNIFICANTLY OUTPACE THE LIPPER
AVERAGE, YET UNDERPERFORM THE MERRILL LYNCH INDEX?
A. Fund performance benefited from an overweighted asset allocation in
the telecommunications and energy sectors, which performed very well
during the period. There were also a number of holdings in the basic
industries sectors, such as metals, chemicals, and packaging &
containers, that provided strong results. Relative to the index, the
slight lag in performance can be attributed to the fund's
underweighted position in the Internet sector, combined with poor
results from a number of holdings across a range of industries. I'll
discuss the specific securities that hurt performance later in the
interview.
Q. WHY WAS THE FUND UNDERWEIGHTED IN THE TOP-PERFORMING INTERNET
STOCKS?
A. I felt that many Internet stocks and the overall sector were
characterized by excessive speculation and hype. While I did dabble in
a few Internet holdings that did very well for the fund, Internet
optimism resulted in stock valuations that seemed excessive given
existing business prospects. I'm a careful stock picker in this sector
in the near term because of high valuations, a tremendously
competitive business environment and the threat of tighter monetary
policy at the Federal Reserve.
Q. WHAT SPECIFIC HOLDINGS HELPED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
A. In the telecommunications sector, holdings such as Global
TeleSystems and WinStar performed well. Global TeleSystems, a European
telecommunications company, benefited from its dominant position as a
long-distance call provider and its valuable network infrastructure.
Shares of WinStar Communications appreciated as the telecommunications
sector continued to display favorable long-term growth potential.
Another boost to total return came from cable operator MediaOne.
Shares of MediaOne rallied dramatically as investor confidence in the
company's high-speed Internet access capabilities increased and after
its merger agreement with AT&T was announced.
Q. WHICH SECURITIES WERE THE PRIMARY DETRACTORS FROM TOTAL RETURN?
A. Aerospace and information systems company Orbital Sciences was a
significant detractor from performance during the period. Shares in
Orbital Sciences were hammered after the company announced its
earnings would fall below expectations. In spite of this disappointing
news, I'm optimistic about the company's product line and future
business prospects. Another detractor from performance was
Federal-Mogul. This global automotive parts manufacturer was hurt by
concerns over weakness in overseas markets and the perception that the
company was planning acquisitions that could dilute future earnings.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE FUND?
A. One of the measurements I monitor very closely in managing the fund
is volatility compared to the benchmark index. The portfolio's
volatility has been reduced somewhat - meaning the fund's assets are
positioned closer to the index in terms of its volatility and risk.
The fund's neutral position is more conservative compared to the asset
allocation a year ago for a few reasons. First, I started to become
more defensive toward the end of last year in light of uncertainties
in the global economy. Second, more recently, I became concerned about
what I saw as a high level of market speculation. Finally, I feared
the threat of tighter monetary policy to combat potential inflation in
the robust U.S. economy could have a negative impact on stock
valuations.

DAVID FELMAN ON THE INTERNET'S
IMPACT ON THE CONVERTIBLE
SECURITIES MARKET:
"When an industry's stock valuations
increase dramatically, companies
can issue convertible securities at
lower costs than issuing bonds.
That's what we've seen lately with
Internet stocks. As the prices for
Internet stocks appreciated, many of
these companies issued new
convertible securities. As a result,
Internet stocks now represent
approximately 8% of the convertible
securities market. Such a large
percentage of the index represented
by one industry can make it difficult
to manage the fund's performance
relative to its index and Lipper
peer group.
"For example, despite the Internet
sector's questionable earnings
prospects and high valuations, the
fund slightly underperformed the
index because it did not approach
the full weighting of Internet stocks
present in the index. This type of
development tends to prompt
convertible securities fund
managers to increase their exposure
to the dominant sector in an effort to
minimize the chances of
underperforming the index
regardless of the sector's investment
merits. A speculative environment
of this sort can lead to a
broad-based setback if investors
are forced to revise their
assumptions that strong
fundamentals, high valuations, low
inflation and interest rates will
persist indefinitely."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Convertible Securities 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, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. The following
summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
SECURITY VALUATION. Debt securities for which quotations are readily
available are valued by a pricing service at their market values as
determined by their most recent bid prices in the principal market
(sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in which such
securities are normally traded. Equity securities for which 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 market quotations are not readily available are
valued 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 with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available 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 and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
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 substantially 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
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, are recorded as
soon as the fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Non-cash
dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the
fair market value of the securities received. Interest income, which
includes accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as earned.
Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where
recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), market discount and
losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also utilized earnings and
profits distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares as a part
of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - CONTINUED
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
RESTRICTED SECURITIES. The fund is permitted to invest in securities
that are subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. These
securities generally 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 $0 or 0.0% of net assets.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $1,128,438,000 and $1,189,585,000, 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 and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .20%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).15% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) based on the fund's
4. FEES AND OTHERS TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED
investment performance as compared to the appropriate index over a
specified period of time. For the period, the management fee was
equivalent to an annualized rate of .59% of average net assets after
the performance adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annualized rate of .19% of average net assets.
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 $52,000 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, there were no loans outstanding.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $107,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $7,000 and $6,000, respectively, under these arrangements.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)
DEAR SHAREHOLDER:
After its first-ever close above 11,000 on the first trading day of
May, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 450 points by
month's end. The Federal Reserve Board's shift in bias toward raising
rates to ward off inflation contributed to the decline. Government
securities followed a similar path during May, as expectations of an
eventual boost in interest rates drove the price of the bellwether
30-year Treasury consistently downwards.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.
If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-544-8888, or visit our
web site at www.fidelity.com. We are available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week to provide you the information you need to make the
investments that are right for you.
Best regards,
Edward C. Johnson 3d
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. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS

FIDELITY EQUITY-INCOME II 8.83% 13.01% 143.77% 441.55%
S&P 500 (registered trademark) 12.61% 21.03% 215.95% 403.29%
Equity Income Funds Average 8.63% 8.72% 130.18% n/a
</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or since the fund started on August 21, 1990. For example, if
you had invested $1,000 in a fund that had a 5% return over the past
year, the value of your investment would be $1,050. You can compare
the fund's returns to the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500
Index - a market capitalization-weighted index of common stocks. To
measure how the fund's performance stacked up against its peers, you
can compare it to the equity income funds average, which reflects the
performance of mutual funds with similar objectives tracked by Lipper
Inc. The past six months average represents a peer group of 240 mutual
funds. These benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital
gains, if any, and exclude the effect of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER LIFE OF FUND: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Equity-Income II Fund on August 21, 1990, when
the fund started. As the chart shows, by May 31, 1999, the value of
the investment would have grown to $54,155 - a 441.55% increase on the
initial investment. For comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's
500 Index did over the same period. With dividends and capital gains,
if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown to $50,329 - a
403.29% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
With the Federal Reserve Board's
shift in bias toward raising interest
rates to combat inflation, U.S.
equity markets stalled - at least
temporarily - toward the tail end
of the six-month period ending May
31, 1999. Just six months earlier, it
was the Fed's willingness to lower
rates that helped U.S. stock markets
shrug off the ill effects of worldwide
economic doldrums, spurring a
continuation of their bullish
performance into the spring. For the
six-month period, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of
30 blue-chip stocks - returned
16.75%. The tech-heavy NASDAQ
Index rose 26.93% for the period,
while the Standard & Poor's 500
Index - a popular performance
measure of U.S. stock markets -
returned 12.61%. For the month of
May itself, however, the returns for
all three indexes were in negative
territory, testament to the inflation
concerns of anxious investors. The
later stages of the period also were
characterized by a rotation out of
the recently favored large-cap growth
stocks, and into the smaller,
economically sensitive cyclical and
value stocks. What's more, the
previously beleaguered Russell
2000 Index - a popular
performance measure of
small-capitalization stocks -
demonstrated renewed strength,
soundly outperforming the S&P 500
during the last three months of the
period by a count of 12.28% to
5.48%.

An interview with Bettina Doulton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Equity-Income II Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BETTINA?
A. The six-month period ending May 31, 1999, was characterized by
strong performance early on and lackluster performance later on. All
told, the fund's six-month return of 8.83% edged out the 8.63% return
of the equity income funds average, as tracked by Lipper Inc., but
trailed the 12.61% return of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index during
the same time frame. For the 12 months that ended May 31, 1999, the
fund returned 13.01%, again topping the average of its peer group -
which returned 8.72% - but lagging the S&P 500's one-year return of
21.03%. As in prior periods, the fund's underperformance relative to
the S&P is primarily due to its underweighting of technology stocks.
Given the fund's income-oriented investment approach, shareholders
should not expect the fund to have a large allocation in the
technology sector.
Q. WHAT HELPED THE FUND OUTPACE ITS PEER GROUP OVER THE SIX-MONTH
PERIOD?
A. The fund's outperformance was attributable to strong contributions
from several of the fund's largest holdings and its overweighting of
the media and leisure sector. Citigroup, General Electric, American
Express and Chase Manhattan, the fund's top four holdings, were big
contributors to returns. In the media and leisure sector, Time Warner,
the fund's fifth-largest holding, was the second-best contributor to
overall performance for the period. Time Warner benefited from solid
financial returns driven by strong growth of its cable, magazine and
music operations, along with continued capital discipline.
Q. THERE WAS A DRAMATIC MARKET ROTATION FROM GROWTH TO CYCLICAL STOCKS
DURING THE PERIOD. CAN YOU DESCRIBE THIS SCENARIO IN MORE DETAIL?
A. I don't know if I'd call it a "market rotation" as much as I'd
describe it as a "market broadening." Early in the period, the market
rallied due to aggressive domestic and global central bank easings,
done to boost investor confidence and spur economic growth. The market
narrowness of 1998 and early 1999 quickly broadened as more small- and
mid-cap companies began to demonstrate positive earnings growth.
Therefore, those few large-cap growth stocks that were so attractive
over the past 18 months were less eye-catching as the earnings base
started to broaden out. Fears of inflation, concerns about
interest-rate increases and a rapidly improving global economy further
exaggerated the broadening. To take advantage of this shift, I added
more energy stocks to the portfolio, and also increased my position in
BP Amoco, which was a strong performer. Admittedly, I didn't own the
energy stocks as deeply as I would have liked when this sector began
rallying mid-spring.
Q. WHAT STOCKS PERFORMED WELL FOR THE FUND?
A. In addition to those I've already mentioned, I would highlight AT&T
and MCI WorldCom. Although they compete on several levels, both
performed extremely well during the period. The telecom industry in
general benefited from a strong economy and a surge in volume growth
driven by the Internet. Specifically, AT&T's appreciation was driven
by the company's repositioning efforts and acquisitions of cable and
media companies, thus reducing its exposure to slower-growth
businesses. Meanwhile, the benefits of the MCI and WorldCom merger are
coming through on both a cost and revenue basis, and the market has
rewarded the new company accordingly.
Q. WHAT ABOUT DISAPPOINTMENTS?
A. Pharmaceuticals were notable laggards relative to the market.
Specifically, the fund's holdings in Merck, Eli Lilly and
Schering-Plough were detractors. Several factors came into play to
depress the sector. First, the relative earnings growth for the
pharmaceutical industry didn't look as attractive as it had previously
as the global economic recovery broadened the market's earnings
prospects. Second, earnings disappointments plagued several companies
in the industry. Third, political rhetoric increased as options for
expanding Medicare coverage were considered. I reduced the portfolio's
overall exposure to pharmaceuticals, but retain significant positions
in Bristol-Myers Squibb, Schering-Plough and Merck, which I believe
offer good fundamentals and reasonable valuations.
Q. BETTINA, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS?
A. Given recent market events, it is one of the most interesting - and
most challenging - times to be thinking about positioning a portfolio.
Currently, the fund's positioning reflects my thinking that inflation
risks are not significant. I don't think the global recoveries are so
strong that the Federal Reserve Board will need to drastically
increase interest rates. Meanwhile, I will continue to track U.S.
consumer spending, critical for both domestic economic growth and the
recoveries in Southeast Asia.

BETTINA DOULTON ON THE
INFLUENCE OF DAY TRADERS
ON TODAY'S MARKETS:
"Day traders are significantly
changing market dynamics.
Technology is accelerating the
speed and evenness of news
dissemination, transforming the
trading process, and thus
attracting greater day trader
participation than ever before. In
fact, day traders now account for
up to 20% of NASDAQ's daily
trading volume. Increased
participation by day traders and a
lack of investor conviction
regarding economic growth and
inflation has increased market
volatility. It's amazing how quickly
news, be it related to an individual
company or the macro economy, is
discounted in the respective stock
price or broad market. The
increased market participation by
individuals is also significantly
responsible for the NASDAQ
market's plan to extend trading
hours beginning in the fall of 2000.
Against a backdrop of increased
market volatility, I remain
committed to investing with a two-
to three-year time horizon and will
trade opportunistically around
core positions."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES.
Fidelity Equity-Income II 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
financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles which require management to make
certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial
statements. 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 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 with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available 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 and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
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 substantially 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income,
which includes accretion of original issue discount, is accrued as
earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld
where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, market discount, non-taxable
dividends, and losses deferred due to wash sales. The fund also
utilized earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on
redemption of shares as a part of the dividends paid deduction for
income tax purposes.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management &
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED
Research Company (FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one
or more joint trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or
more repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
obligations.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $6,412,628,000 and $6,847,796,000, respectively.
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES.
MANAGEMENT FEE. As the fund's investment adviser, FMR receives a
monthly 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 and is based on the monthly average net assets of all the mutual
funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to .5200% for the
period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .20%. In the event that
these rates were lower than the contractual rates in effect during the
period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates, as they resulted
in the same or a lower management fee. For the period, the management
fee was equivalent to an annualized rate of .49% of average net
assets.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and
4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED
TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED
asset-based fees that vary according to account size and type of
account. FSC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of all
shareholder reports, except proxy statements. For the period, the
transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annualized rate of .17% of
average net assets.
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 $1,059,000 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.
The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close
of business of the fund and any additional required collateral is
delivered to the fund on the next business day. At period end, there
were no loans outstanding.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $1,471,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into an arrangement with its
transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested cash
balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses. During
the period, the fund's transfer agent fees were reduced by $156,000
under this arrangement.

May, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped over 450 points by
month's end. The Federal Reserve Board's shift in bias toward raising
rates to ward off inflation contributed to the decline. Government
securities followed a similar path during May, as expectations of an
eventual boost in interest rates drove the price of the bellwether
30-year Treasury consistently downwards.
While it's impossible to predict the future direction of the markets
with any degree of certainty, there are certain basic principles that
can help investors plan for their future needs.
First, investors are encouraged to take a long-term view of their
portfolios. If you can afford to leave your money invested through the
inevitable up and down cycles of the financial markets, you will
greatly reduce your vulnerability to any single decline. We know from
experience, for example, that stock prices have gone up over longer
periods of time, have significantly outperformed other types of
investments and have stayed ahead of inflation.
Second, you can further manage your investing risk through
diversification. A stock mutual fund, for instance, is already
diversified, because it invests in many different companies. You can
increase your diversification further by investing in a number of
different stock funds, or in such other investment categories as
bonds. If you have a short investment time horizon, you might want to
consider moving some of your investment into a money market fund,
which seeks income and a stable share price by investing in
high-quality, short-term investments. Of course, it's important to
remember that an investment in a money market fund is not insured or
guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
government agency. Although money market funds seek to preserve the
value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose
money by investing in these types of funds.
Finally, no matter what your time horizon or portfolio diversity, it
makes good sense to follow a regular investment plan, investing a
certain amount of money in a fund at the same time each month or
quarter and periodically reviewing your overall portfolio. By doing
so, you won't get caught up in the excitement of a rapidly rising
market, nor will you buy all your shares at market highs. While this
strategy - known as dollar cost averaging - won't assure a profit or
protect you from a loss in a declining market, it should help you
lower the average cost of your purchases. Of course, you should
consider your financial ability to continue your purchases through
periods of low price levels before undertaking such a strategy.

days a week to provide you the information you need to make the

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. Total return reflects the change in the value of an
investment, assuming reinvestment of the fund's dividend income and
capital gains (the profits earned upon the sale of securities that
have grown in value).

</TABLE>
CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, six months, one year, five
years or 10 years. For example, if you had invested $1,000 in a fund
that had a 5% return over the past year, the value of your investment
would be $1,050. You can compare the fund's returns to the performance
of the Standard & Poor's 500 Index - a market capitalization-weighted
index of common stocks. To measure how the fund's performance stacked
up against its peers, you can compare it to the capital appreciation
funds average, which reflects the performance of mutual funds with
similar objectives tracked by Lipper Inc. The past six months average
represents a peer group of 281 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS take the fund's cumulative return and
show you what would have happened if the fund had performed at a
constant rate each year. (Note: Lipper calculates average annual total
returns by annualizing each fund's total return, then taking an
arithmetic average. This may produce a different figure than that
obtained by averaging the cumulative total returns and annualizing the
result.)

$10,000 OVER 10 YEARS: Let's say hypothetically that $10,000 was
invested in Fidelity Retirement Growth Fund on May 31, 1989. As the
chart shows, by May 31, 1999, the value of the investment would have
grown to $45,767 - a 357.67% increase on the initial investment. For
comparison, look at how the Standard & Poor's 500 Index did over the
same period. With dividends and capital gains, if any, reinvested, the
same $10,000 would have grown to $52,665 - a 426.65% increase.
(checkmark)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
long-term growth and
short-term volatility. 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
With the Federal Reserve Board's
shift in bias toward raising interest
rates to combat inflation, U.S.
equity markets stalled - at least
temporarily - toward the tail end
of the six-month period ending May
31, 1999. Just six months earlier, it
was the Fed's willingness to lower
rates that helped U.S. stock markets
shrug off the ill effects of worldwide
economic doldrums, spurring a
continuation of their bullish
performance into the spring. For the
six-month period, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of
30 blue-chip stocks - returned
16.75%. The tech-heavy NASDAQ
Index rose 26.93% for the period,
while the Standard & Poor's 500
Index - a popular performance
measure of U.S. stock markets -
returned 12.61%. For the month of
May itself, however, the returns for
all three indexes were in negative
territory, testament to the inflation
concerns of anxious investors. The
later stages of the period also were
characterized by a rotation out of
the recently favored large-cap growth
stocks, and into the smaller,
economically sensitive cyclical and
value stocks. What's more, the
previously beleaguered Russell
2000 Index - a popular
performance measure of
small-capitalization stocks -
demonstrated renewed strength,
soundly outperforming the S&P 500
during the last three months of the
period by a count of 12.28% to
5.48%.

An interview with Fergus Shiel, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Retirement Growth Fund
Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, FERGUS?
A. For the six months that ended May 31, 1999, the fund returned
13.21%, compared to 12.61% for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and
17.09% for the capital appreciation funds average tracked by Lipper
Inc. For the 12 months that ended May 31, 1999, the fund returned
23.29%, while the S&P 500 index and the Lipper average returned 21.03%
and 17.54%, respectively.
Q. WHAT FACTORS CAUSED THE FUND TO LAG THE LIPPER PEER GROUP, YET
OUTPERFORM THE S&P 500 INDEX DURING THE PERIOD?
A. The Lipper capital appreciation funds average is a large category,
and it's very difficult to say for sure what my competitors were
investing in during the period. Most likely, the fund lagged the peer
group due in part to my underweighting relative to the Lipper average
in smaller-cap value stocks and in cyclical stocks, which rallied
dramatically during the period. Relative to the S&P 500 index, the
fund benefited from strong stock selection, particularly in technology
companies, and a successful shift into biotechnology shares rather
than large-cap pharmaceutical companies, which performed poorly during
the period. While I sold both of these holdings during the period,
fund performance also was helped by strength in our positions in
financial stocks, particularly electronic brokerage start-up E*Trade
Group and consumer finance company Providian.
Q. YOU INDICATED THAT YOU SHIFTED ASSETS INTO BIOTECHNOLOGY COMPANIES.
CAN YOU TELL US A BIT MORE ABOUT THIS INVESTMENT CHANGE AND SPECIFIC
HOLDINGS?
A. Sure. I made a large transition into biotechnology stocks, which
now occupy four out of the top 10 holdings in the fund. Leaders in the
biotechnology industry and strong contributors to the fund were
Immunex and Amgen. When these companies first started out, they were
spending a lot of money on the research and development (R&D) of new
drugs, but they weren't making much money. Today, however, their R&D
spending is paying off and they are producing an array of effective
and profitable new products. As a result, the stock prices of these
companies rallied significantly as the market realized the potential
demand and profitability of these new drugs.
Q. WHAT ABOUT THE FUND'S TECHNOLOGY AND UTILITIES HOLDINGS?
A. In these sectors, the fund benefited from an eclectic mix of
companies in various industries, including wireless communications,
telecommunications and computer software. Top contributors from these
groups were Microsoft, MCI WorldCom and cellular telephone
manufacturer Nokia. Each of these holdings boosted fund performance as
they produced strong earnings growth resulting from their dominant
market positions.
Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM THE FUND'S RETURN?
A. The fund's exposure to pharmaceutical stocks such as Eli Lilly &
Co. and Schering-Plough hurt fund performance. The entire group came
under pressure toward the end of the period as investors shunned
expensive growth companies for cyclical and value stocks. In addition,
these companies suffered from the perception that their key products
may lose patent protection, and increased competition could put
pressure on earnings. My feeling was that, while these companies were
recently out of favor, they can perform well, given their defensive
characteristics, especially if the global economy doesn't turn around
as anticipated.
Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?
A. Given the increase in bond yields and concerns about inflation, the
stock market has been very resilient. However, I would not be
surprised if the market shifts gears and instead chooses to focus on
the negative message the bond market is sending. In response, we would
see short-term weakness in the equity market. Over the long-term,
though, I think a short-term pull back in the stock market is healthy
and would represent a buying opportunity given the positive outlook
for U.S. companies and stocks. There is still a lot of liquidity in
the market, in the form of new cash that eventually has to find a
home. The U.S. equity market will most likely be the primary
beneficiary of this steady flow of new investments.

FERGUS SHIEL ON INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS
INDUSTRY:
"The Internet and the changing
business environment offer
tremendous opportunities for the
telecommunications industry,
namely because the telephone
companies are going to be the
primary carriers of data and
Internet traffic. Today, telephone
voice service accounts for the
majority of revenues and is more
profitable than data and Internet
service; however, data and Internet
traffic are growing exponentially
faster than voice transmission.
"In general, the telephone business
is a `fixed-cost' business, and any
incremental increase in demand
quickly adds to earnings. As an
illustration, let's say a telephone
company with fixed costs and total
capacity for 100 calls carries 10
phone calls a day, but then
increases that business to 20 calls a
day. Given that the costs are fixed,
the revenue generated by those
extra 10 calls goes straight to the
bottom line. With unused network
capacity in the industry that should
be absorbed by the massive increase
in demand for data and Internet
traffic, we should see strong
earnings growth. We've already seen
the stock of many
telecommunications and Internet
equipment manufacturers benefit
from the surge in demand for data
and Internet access. On the other
hand, I don't believe the market
has fully recognized the potential
of many telecommunications
companies, and, as a result, I will
be keeping a close eye on them."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended May 31, 1999 (Unaudited)
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, as an open-end management investment company
organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The financial statements
have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles which require management to make certain estimates and
assumptions at the date of the financial statements. 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 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 with
remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are
not readily available 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 and other assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S.
dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at period end. Purchases
and sales of securities, income receipts and expense payments are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the
respective dates of the transactions.
Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions
represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of foreign
currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, the difference
between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S.
dollar amount actually received, and gains and losses between trade
and settlement date on purchases and sales of securities. The effects
of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in
securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or
loss on investment securities.
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 substantially 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. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income, which includes accretion of
original issue discount, is
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED
INVESTMENT INCOME - CONTINUED
accrued as earned. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes
withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain.
EXPENSES. Most expenses of the trust can be directly attributed to a
fund. Expenses which cannot be directly attributed are apportioned
among the funds in the trust.
DEFERRED TRUSTEE COMPENSATION. Under a Deferred Compensation Plan (the
Plan) non-interested Trustees must defer receipt of a portion of, and
may elect to defer receipt of an additional portion of, their annual
compensation. Deferred amounts are treated as though equivalent dollar
amounts had been invested in shares of the fund or are invested in a
cross-section of other Fidelity funds. Deferred amounts remain in the
fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Distributions are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.
Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance
with income tax regulations which may differ from generally accepted
accounting principles. These differences, which may result in
distribution reclassifications, are primarily due to differing
treatments for litigation proceeds, foreign currency transactions,
passive foreign investment companies (PFIC), and losses deferred due
to wash sales.
Permanent book and tax basis differences relating to shareholder
distributions will result in reclassifications to paid in capital.
Undistributed net investment income and accumulated undistributed net
realized gain (loss) on investments and foreign currency transactions
may include temporary book and tax basis differences which will
reverse in a subsequent period. Any taxable income or gain remaining
at fiscal year end is distributed in the following year.
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.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS. The fund generally uses foreign currency
contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated
securities. Losses may arise from changes in the value of the foreign
currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts'
terms. The U.S. dollar value of foreign currency contracts is
determined using contractual currency exchange rates established at
the time of each trade.
JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC), the fund, along with
other affiliated entities of Fidelity Management & Research Company
(FMR), may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
trading accounts. These balances are invested in one or more
repurchase agreements for U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency obligations.
2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. The underlying U.S. Treasury or Federal Agency
securities are transferred to an account of the fund, or to the Joint
Trading Account, at a bank custodian. The securities are
marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the
principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued
interest). FMR, the fund's investment adviser, is responsible for
determining that the value of the underlying securities remains in
accordance with the market value requirements stated above.
TAXABLE CENTRAL CASH FUND. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund (the
Cash Fund) managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc., an
affiliate of FMR. The Cash Fund is an open-end money market fund
available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by
FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Fund seeks preservation of capital,
liquidity, and current income by investing in U.S. Treasury securities
and repurchase agreements for these securities. Income distributions
from the Cash Fund are declared daily and paid monthly from net
interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded
as interest income in the accompanying financial statements.
3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $8,265,873,000 and $8,378,985,000, 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 and is based on the monthly average net assets of all
the mutual funds advised by FMR. The rates ranged from .2500% to
.5200% for the period. The annual individual fund fee rate is .30%. In
the event that these rates were lower than the contractual rates in
effect during the period, FMR voluntarily implemented the above rates,
as they resulted in the same or a lower management fee. The basic fee
is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of
(plus/minus).20% of the fund's average net assets over the performance
period) 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 annualized rate of .43% of average
net assets after the performance adjustment.
TRANSFER AGENT FEES. Fidelity Service Company, Inc. (FSC), an
affiliate of FMR, is the fund's transfer, dividend disbursing and
shareholder servicing agent. FSC receives account fees and asset-based
fees that vary according to account size and type of account. FSC pays
for typesetting, printing and mailing of all shareholder reports,
except proxy

TRANSFER AGENT FEES - CONTINUED
statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to
an annualized rate of .17% of average net assets.
ACCOUNTING FEES. FSC maintains the fund's accounting records. The 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 $860,000 for the
period.
5. BANK BORROWINGS.
The fund is permitted to have bank borrowings for temporary or
emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions. The fund has
established borrowing arrangements with certain banks. The interest
rate on the borrowings is the bank's base rate, as revised from time
to time. The average daily loan balance during the period for which
the loan was outstanding amounted to $80,597,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.2%.
6. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS.
FMR has directed certain portfolio trades to brokers who paid a
portion of the fund's expenses. For the period, the fund's expenses
were reduced by $1,419,000 under this arrangement.
In addition, the fund has entered into arrangements with its custodian
and transfer agent whereby credits realized as a result of uninvested
cash balances were used to reduce a portion of the fund's expenses.
During the period, the fund's custodian and transfer agent fees were
reduced by $3,000 and $68,000, respectively, under these arrangements.
7. 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 during the period
with companies which are or were affiliates are as follows:
