DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

U.S. equity indexes once again dominated the financial headlines, led
by the NASDAQ's 15 record highs in 21 November sessions. Meanwhile,
the Standard & Poor's 500SM posted two record closings and the Dow
Jones Industrial Average crept above the 11,000 mark for the first
time since mid-September. However, another Federal Reserve Board
interest rate hike and continued inflation concerns drove down the
price of the benchmark 30-year Treasury.

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 1-800-544-6666, 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

PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999    PAST 1 YEAR  PAST 5 YEARS  PAST 10 YEARS

FIDELITY CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES    32.36%       126.56%       337.58%

ML All US Convertible              30.10%       130.47%       285.07%
Securities

Convertible Securities Funds       23.86%       107.41%       222.82%
Average

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, 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 one year average represents
a peer group of 61 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 November 30, 1989.
As the chart shows, by November 30, 1999, the value of the investment
would have grown to $43,758 - a 337.58% 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 $38,507 - a 285.07% 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

Over the past year, the technology
sector turned the challenge for
equity market leadership into a
one-horse race, crossing the wire
uncontested while other segments of
the market struggled just to get out
of the gate. For the 12-month
period ending November 30, 1999,
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index -
a market-capitalization-weighted
index of 500 widely held U.S. stocks
- - returned 20.90%. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of 30
blue-chip stocks - posted a 21.20%
return during the period. Small-cap
stocks also rode the tech wave, as
the Russell 2000(registered trademark) Index - helped
by its healthy 26% weighting in the
sector - returned 15.67% for the
12 months ending November 30,
1999. Spurring the technology
industry on in large part was the
Internet and all of its inherent cost
and productivity efficiencies. Even
the Federal Reserve Board had
trouble reining in the sector and its
influence on the vigorous U.S.
economy. The Fed's three
interest-rate hikes over the final six
months of the period - typically an
effective harness on the
performance of hot growth stocks
- - had little effect on technology's
momentum. Witness the tech-heavy
NASDAQ Index, which returned
71.64% during the 12-month
period, and which set a record high
in 71% of the trading sessions - or,
15 out of 21 days - during
November.

An interview with Beso Sikharulidze, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Convertible Securities Fund

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BESO?

A. The fund enjoyed a strong period. For the 12 months that ended
November 30, 1999, the fund had a total return of 32.36%. For the same
period, the Merrill Lynch All U.S. Convertible Securities Index
returned 30.10%, and the convertible securities funds average tracked
by Lipper Inc. returned 23.86%.

Q. WHAT FACTORS INFLUENCED FUND PERFORMANCE DURING THE PERIOD?

A. Some good picks, most notably from the fast-growing world of
telecommunications, bolstered fund performance over the past 12
months. The fund's healthy exposure to the energy sector during the
recovery in oil prices also helped, as did its holdings in many of the
basic industries following the April rotation to cyclical - or
economically sensitive - firms. On the other hand, the fund's aversion
to Internet-related securities hurt performance in the first quarter,
as these issues rose sharply during that time. However, this same
stance insulated the fund from a dramatic falloff spurred by the
wholesale flight away from growth names in the second quarter. Having
sizable, relatively illiquid stakes in names such as Federal Mogul - a
global automotive parts manufacturer - and Orbital Sciences - an
aerospace technology and satellite services firm - hurt as cyclicals
were upended later in the spring, beginning a period of extended
decline.

Q. WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU MADE SINCE TAKING OVER THE FUND IN AUGUST?

A. I shifted some assets from the finance and energy sectors to the
technology, media and leisure, and utilities sectors, gaining further
exposure to the explosion in worldwide communications demand.
Additionally, I felt it appropriate to broaden the portfolio, exposing
it to Internet-related firms. The fact is, we're living in the middle
of an exciting revolution in technology, from which I feel
shareholders can benefit. My extended move into technology was a
timely one, as companies in this sector soared during the late summer
and early fall. The fund was rewarded handsomely for its overweighting
in technology relative to both its benchmark and its value-oriented
peer group. All in all, as a bottom-up investor, I found my time was
best spent on an individual company level, since that's where I feel
the true value exists.

Q. HAS TECHNOLOGY CHANGED THE FACE OF THE CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES
MARKET ALTOGETHER?

A. Most assuredly, it has. In the past, funds invested in convertible
securities were, for the most part, low-volatility vehicles that
comprised mostly blue-chip stocks and other value-oriented equities,
with some protection from falling underlying stock prices. Today,
however, due to the transformation of the convertibles universe as a
whole - and with technology comprising almost half of the market - it
was prudent to adjust the fund in kind. As a result, equity
sensitivity - or the correlation between the convertible security's
value and the share price activity of the underlying stock - went up.
A stronger correlation between the two security types allowed
investors greater exposure to the growth segment of the market during
the period's upturn, while maintaining the downside protection of not
actually owning the stocks themselves.

Q. WHICH HOLDINGS CONTRIBUTED TO PERFORMANCE?

A. Strong global wireless demand lifted Qualcomm, Nextel and MediaOne,
each beneficiaries of the communications boom. Exodus Communications -
a provider of Internet systems and network management solutions -
benefited from the growing need among firms to outsource their
Web-related operations.

Q. WHICH DETRACTED?

A. Federal Mogul sputtered on disappointing earnings resulting from
weak global demand. Shares of waste management concern KTI, Inc. fell
precipitously in response to a failed merger attempt with Casella
Waste Systems in the spring. Orbital Sciences was grounded by
accounting irregularities and earnings shortfalls. The fund no longer
held Orbital Sciences or KTI, Inc. at the close of the period.

Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK?

A. Technology has painted a whole new backdrop for the economy, and
it's a revolution that I expect to last for many years to come.
Accordingly, my outlook is quite positive overall, as I intend to
position the fund to fully benefit from this trend. The ongoing
challenge will be in correctly identifying the real winners from all
of the clutter and the noise enveloping the marketplace.

BESO SIKHARULIDZE ON HIS
ASSET-ALLOCATION STRATEGY:

"I look at convertible securities
from an equity perspective and try
to determine if the underlying stock
itself is attractive. Increasing the
fund's weighting in convertibles
relative to pure stocks, as I did
since taking over the fund, wasn't
indicative of my feeling toward them
as an instrument, as much as it was a
reflection of how I felt about each
of the individual companies in
which I was investing. Over the
past 12 months, during the run-up
in technology stock valuations,
many high-tech companies resorted
to issuing convertible securities
as a cheaper way to raise equity
capital. In doing so, the overall
volatility of the convertibles
market and thus the equity
sensitivity of these securities, on
average, increased dramatically. In
order to keep the portfolio's overall
equity sensitivity in check, I chose to
take profits from some of the more
volatile convertibles that had
appreciated in value, and to
purchase new issues with a lower
sensitivity as a hedge against
volatility. Every now and then, if I
feel strongly about a firm and the
convertible security offers extremely
low equity sensitivity, I'll go out and
buy the underlying stock to gain
further exposure to the full breadth
of a potential rally. At the end of
the day, it's all about finding the
optimal investment mix for the
portfolio."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1999


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. Foreign equity securities are valued
based on quotations from the principal market in which such securities
are normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets
after the close of the principal market in which foreign securities
are traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are
expected to materially affect the value of those securities, then they
are valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events
into account. Fair value is determined in good faith under
consistently applied procedures under the general supervision of the
Board of Trustees. Securities (including restricted securities) for
which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their
fair value. 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.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

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 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, market discount, non-taxable dividends and losses
deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations. 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.

2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED

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
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. 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 $2,428,934,000 and $2,394,467,000, 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 .2167% 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

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED

MANAGEMENT FEE - CONTINUED

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 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 .60% 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 annual 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 $59,000 for the
period.

5. SECURITY LENDING.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount 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. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. At period end there were no loans
outstanding.

6. 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
loans were outstanding amounted to $3,782,000. The weighted average
interest rate was 5.35%.

7. 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 $238,000 under this arrangement.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent 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 $16,000 and $9,000, respectively, under these arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Trustees of Fidelity Financial Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Convertible Securities Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, 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 Convertible Securities Fund (a fund of Fidelity Financial
Trust) at November 30, 1999, and the results of its operations,  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 Convertible Securities 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 at November 30, 1999 by
correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

U.S. equity indexes once again dominated the financial headlines, led
by the NASDAQ's 15 record highs in 21 November sessions. Meanwhile,
the Standard & Poor's 500SM posted two record closings and the Dow
Jones Industrial Average crept above the 11,000 mark for the first
time since mid-September. However, another Federal Reserve Board
interest rate hike and continued inflation concerns drove down the
price of the benchmark 30-year Treasury.

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 1-800-544-6666, 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

PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999    PAST 1 YEAR  PAST 5 YEARS  LIFE OF FUND

FIDELITY EQUITY-INCOME II          8.25%        142.16%       438.69%

Russell 3000 Value                 9.54%        173.80%       363.92%**

S&P 500 (registered trademark)     20.90%       236.51%       440.34%

Equity Income Funds Average        5.57%        125.73%       n/a

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, 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 Russell 3000 Value Index - a market
capitalization-weighted index of value-oriented stocks of U.S.
domiciled corporations - and the Standard & Poors 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
one year average represents a peer group of 242 mutual funds. These
benchmarks include reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and
exclude the effect of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison
categories that group funds according to portfolio characteristics and
capitalization, as well as by capitalization only. These averages are
listed on page 5 of this report.*

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999    PAST 1 YEAR  PAST 5 YEARS  LIFE OF FUND

FIDELITY EQUITY-INCOME II          8.25%        19.35%        19.89%

Russell 3000 Value                 9.54%        22.32%        18.05%**

S&P 500                            20.90%       27.47%        19.93%

Equity Income Funds Average        5.57%        17.57%        n/a

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 31, 1990, shortly
after the fund started. As the chart shows, by November 30, 1999, the
value of the investment would have grown to $53,388 - a 433.88%
increase on the initial investment. For comparison, look at how the
Russell 3000 Value Index did over the same period. With dividends and
capital gains, if any, reinvested, the same $10,000 would have grown
to $46,392 - a 363.92% increase. Beginning with this report, the fund
will compare its performance to that of the Russell 3000 Value Index
rather than the S&P 500 Index. The Russell 3000 Value Index more
closely reflects the fund's investment strategy.

(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 MANAGERS' OVERVIEW



MARKET RECAP

Over the past year, the technology
sector turned the challenge for
equity market leadership into a
one-horse race, crossing the wire
uncontested while other segments of
the market struggled just to get out
of the gate. For the 12-month
period ending November 30, 1999,
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index -
a market-capitalization-weighted
index of 500 widely held U.S. stocks
- - returned 20.90%. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of 30
blue-chip stocks - posted a 21.20%
return during the period. Small-cap
stocks also rode the tech wave, as
the Russell 2000 index - helped by
its healthy 26% weighting in the
sector - returned 15.67% for the
12 months ending November 30,
1999. Spurring the technology
industry on in large part was the
Internet and all of its inherent cost
and productivity efficiencies. Even
the Federal Reserve Board had
trouble reining in the sector and its
influence on the vigorous U.S.
economy. The Fed's three
interest-rate hikes over the final six
months of the period - typically an
effective harness on the
performance of hot growth stocks -
had little effect on technology's
momentum. Witness the tech-heavy
NASDAQ Index, which returned
71.64% during the 12-month
period, and which set a record high
in 71% of the trading sessions - or,
15 out of 21 days - during
November.

NOTE TO SHAREHOLDERS: The following is an interview with Bettina
Doulton, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity Equity-Income II Fund, with
additional comments from Steve DuFour, who will become manager of the
fund effective February 1, 2000.

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, BETTINA?

B.D. For the 12 months ending November 30, 1999, the fund returned
8.25%, outperforming the 5.57% return of the equity income funds
average tracked by Lipper Inc. During the same period, the fund's new
benchmark, the Russell 3000 Value Index - which Steve DuFour will
discuss in his callout box on page 8 - and the Standard & Poor's 500
Index returned 9.54% and 20.90%, respectively. Given the fund's
income-oriented investment approach, its underperformance relative to
the S&P is primarily due to its underweighting of technology stocks,
the vast majority of which do not pay dividends.

Q. WHILE THE FUND PERFORMED BETTER THAN ITS AVERAGE PEER, IT APPEARED
TO BE - JUDGING BY THE NUMBERS - A DIFFICULT YEAR FOR EQUITY-INCOME
FUNDS IN GENERAL . . .

B.D. That's true. It has not been an equity-income year. In my
opinion, the category's broad-based underperformance was due to the
massive revaluation in the marketplace. The big, expensive growth
stocks, particularly in technology, became even more expensive, while
stock prices for the rest of the market - and most of the fund's
investable universe - drifted downward. In other words, the market
abandoned the philosophy of "growth at a reasonable price" and pursued
growth at any price.

Q. CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT LED TO THIS DISPARITY IN VALUATIONS AND
INVESTOR INTEREST?

B.D. I think it's a function of how the information age has
dramatically changed the economy. The tech stocks that have done so
well are the enablers of what I call the "new economy." By enablers, I
mean the makers and providers of the servers, the software, the
communications networks and all the related equipment necessary to
operate in this new economy competitively. Investors believe these
companies have good prospects for earnings and revenue growth for the
next several years, and are willing to pay almost any price for this
growth. That leaves the sustainability of growth rates for "old
economy" companies - those built without the cost and productivity
advantages of the Internet and e-commerce - in doubt. Consequently,
investors have become very shy about investing in those areas.

Q. THEN THE OBVIOUS QUESTION BECOMES, HOW DOES THE FUND DEAL WITH THIS
GIVEN ITS LIMITED TECHNOLOGY EXPOSURE?

B.D. I've sought to optimize results by investing in those companies
that appear to have the best prospects among my investable universe.
My focus is on companies that appear to have the technology, the cost
structures, the customer bases, the services and, importantly, the
strategy to adapt their business model to this new economy. The
exciting thing, and the big positive, is that those companies are out
there and the market will likely reward them - as we've seen with some
stocks that did well for the fund over the past year. General
Electric, the fund's largest holding, is a great example. Its stock
had a terrific year, now trading at close to 40 times its earnings,
while its valuation relative to its peers widened out dramatically.
Another example is American Express. Here's a company that
strategically positioned itself by aggressively adapting its
businesses and card products to the e-commerce paradigm, and was
extremely well-rewarded for it.

Q. WHICH OF THE FUND'S HOLDINGS STRUGGLED IN THIS ENVIRONMENT?

B.D. Three positions in the finance sector - Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae
and Associates First Capital - are all fundamentally sound, but were
negatively affected by what the market was willing to pay for in 1999.
Despite hitting their earnings numbers for the year, the companies'
price-to-earnings ratios contracted, resulting in lower stock prices.
Philip Morris, the biggest detractor from fund performance, continued
to struggle with litigation and it, too, experienced a reduction in
growth rates. I reduced this position significantly. Unilever, an
Anglo-Dutch consumer products company, also performed poorly; its
fundamentals failed to develop as expected and its growth rates were
disappointing.

Q. TURNING TO YOU, STEVE, WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK FOR THE NEXT FEW MONTHS?

S.D. Actually, I have a positive outlook for the near-term prospects
of the value side of the market. As many economies around the world
continue to show improvement, these recoveries could help spur a
rebound in the performance of some cyclical names as demand for their
products or services increases. Since this is a value-oriented fund,
such a development could be a plus for the fund's investors. Whatever
happens, I will conduct a disciplined search for those stocks that
represent good value in the marketplace.

STEVE DUFOUR ON THE FUND'S
BENCHMARK CHANGE TO THE
RUSSELL 3000 VALUE INDEX:

 "Given the fund's focus on stocks
with value characteristics, the
Russell 3000 Value Index more
closely reflects the fund's
investment strategy than the
growth-oriented S&P 500. As this
is an equity-income fund, it looks
for a yield that exceeds the
composite yield of securities in
the S&P 500 and does not
generally invest in non-dividend
paying growth stocks - including the
large-cap technology stocks that
have driven the S&P's returns over
the past several years. The Russell
3000 Value Index focuses on
stocks with lower price-to-book
values, which have higher
dividend yields on average. That's
why, in my mind, the Russell 3000
Value Index is a more appropriate
benchmark for the fund.

"To me, value stocks are those that
investors have abandoned for the
wrong reasons. Sometimes a stock
declines because of a general
market panic, and indiscriminate
selling takes good stocks down with
bad ones. Times like that are great
for a value investor like myself.
"At other times, I find value when
the basic business prospects for
an industry improve and market
participants fail to notice. Or the
value catalyst may be
company-specific. A new CEO, an
exciting product or technology in
the pipeline - there are many
factors to consider here.
Nevertheless, value stocks share a
common characteristic: a mismatch
between the current public
perception of their prospects and
the more favorable prospects I see
based on my analysis of the
companies, their industries and,
to some extent, general market
conditions."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1999


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, 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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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."

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

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 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 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 foreign currency transactions, 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

2. OPERATING POLICIES - CONTINUED

JOINT TRADING ACCOUNT - CONTINUED

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
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. 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, the fund had no investments in restricted
securities (excluding 144A issues).

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $12,788,548,000 and $14,725,498,000, 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 .2167% 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 annual rate of .48% of average net assets.

4. FEES AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES - CONTINUED

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 annual 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 $1,491,000 for the
period.

5. SECURITY LENDING.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount 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. If the
borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned
because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund could experience
delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining
access to the collateral. 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 $3,528,000 under this arrangement.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, 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 $1,000 and $353,000, respectively, under these arrangements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS


To the Trustees of Fidelity Financial Trust and the Shareholders of
Fidelity Equity-Income II Fund:

In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities,
including the schedule of investments, 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 Equity-Income II Fund (a fund of Fidelity Financial Trust) at
November 30, 1999, and the results of its operations, 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
Equity-Income II 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 at November
30, 1999 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

DISTRIBUTIONS


The Board of Trustees of Fidelity Equity Income II Fund voted to pay
to shareholders of record at the opening of business on record date,
the following distributions per share derived from capital gains
realized from sales of portfolio securities, and dividends derived
from net investment income:

PAY DATE RECORD DATE DIVIDENDS CAPITAL GAINS
12/20/99 12/17/99    $.10      $3.30
1/10/00 1/7/00       $-        $.05

The fund hereby designates 100% of the long-term capital gain
dividends distributed during the fiscal year as 20%-rate capital gain
dividends.

A total of 5.58% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year
was derived from interest on U.S. Government securities which is
generally exempt from state income tax.

A total of 100% of the dividends distributed during the fiscal year
qualifies for the dividends-received deduction for corporate
shareholders.

The fund will notify shareholders in January 2000 of amounts for use
in preparing 1999 income tax returns.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE


(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

DEAR SHAREHOLDER:

U.S. equity indexes once again dominated the financial headlines, led
by the NASDAQ's 15 record highs in 21 November sessions. Meanwhile,
the Standard & Poor's 500SM posted two record closings and the Dow
Jones Industrial Average crept above the 11,000 mark for the first
time since mid-September. However, another Federal Reserve Board
interest rate hike and continued inflation concerns drove down the
price of the benchmark 30-year Treasury.

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 1-800-544-6666, 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

PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999    PAST 1 YEAR  PAST 5 YEARS  PAST 10 YEARS

FIDELITY RETIREMENT GROWTH         27.93%       159.49%       371.14%

S&P 500 (registered trademark)     20.90%       236.51%       415.33%

Capital Appreciation Funds         36.51%       172.31%       308.99%
Average

CUMULATIVE TOTAL RETURNS show the fund's performance in percentage
terms over a set period - in this case, 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 one year average
represents a peer group of 275 mutual funds. These benchmarks include
reinvested dividends and capital gains, if any, and exclude the effect
of sales charges. Lipper has created new comparison categories that
group funds according to portfolio characteristics and capitalization,
as well as by capitalization only. These averages are listed on page 5
of this report.*

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS

PERIODS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1999    PAST 1 YEAR  PAST 5 YEARS  PAST 10 YEARS

FIDELITY RETIREMENT GROWTH         27.93%       21.01%        16.77%

S&P 500                            20.90%       27.47%        17.82%

Capital Appreciation Funds         36.51%       20.11%        13.68%
Average

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 November 30, 1989. As
the chart shows, by November 30, 1999, the value of the investment
would have grown to $47,114 - a 371.14% 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 $51,533 - a
415.33% 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

Over the past year, the technology
sector turned the challenge for
equity market leadership into a
one-horse race, crossing the wire
uncontested while other segments of
the market struggled just to get out
of the gate. For the 12-month
period ending November 30, 1999,
the Standard & Poor's 500 Index -
a market-capitalization-weighted
index of 500 widely held U.S. stocks
- - returned 20.90%. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average - an index of 30
blue-chip stocks - posted a 21.20%
return during the period. Small-cap
stocks also rode the tech wave, as
the Russell 2000 (registered trademark) Index - helped
by its healthy 26% weighting in the
sector - returned 15.67% for the
12 months ending November 30,
1999. Spurring the technology
industry on in large part was the
Internet and all of its inherent cost
and productivity efficiencies. Even
the Federal Reserve Board had
trouble reining in the sector and its
influence on the vigorous U.S.
economy. The Fed's three
interest-rate hikes over the final six
months of the period - typically an
effective harness on the
performance of hot growth stocks
- - had little effect on technology's
momentum. Witness the tech-heavy
NASDAQ Index, which returned
71.64% during the 12-month
period, and which set a record high
in 71% of the trading sessions - or,
15 out of 21 days - during
November.

An interview with Fergus Shiel, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity
Retirement Growth Fund

Q. HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM, FERGUS?

A. The fund did quite well. For the 12 months that ended November 30,
1999, the fund returned 27.93%. In comparison, the Standard & Poor's
500 Index returned 20.90% during the same period, while the capital
appreciation funds average tracked by Lipper Inc. returned 36.51%.

Q. WHY DID THE FUND BEAT THE INDEX BUT TRAIL THE LIPPER AVERAGE?

A. A substantial overweighting in technology - far and away the
strongest sector during the period - accounted for a lot of the fund's
outperformance relative to the S&P 500. While I can't be certain of
what other funds were holding, I suspect that many of them were more
heavily weighted with technology stocks than the fund was, enabling
the Lipper average to post a higher return. The other explanation is
that for most of the period, growth stocks did much better than value
stocks, and the fund, which typically maintains a balance between
growth and value, was eclipsed by many of its more growth-oriented
peers.

Q. HEALTH CARE WAS THE FUND'S SECOND-LARGEST SECTOR AT THE END OF THE
PERIOD. HOW DID THOSE STOCKS CONTRIBUTE TO PERFORMANCE?

A. Biotechnology stocks were a very positive influence on the fund's
performance, attracting greater attention from investors due to the
companies' promising product pipelines. The fund's overall weighting
of health care stocks fell from 23.9% of net assets six months ago to
15.7% at the end of the period, which still reflected a considerable
overweighting relative to the index. Most of the drop occurred because
I sold some of the fund's holdings of large drug company stocks. These
stocks suffered from the perception that large drug companies would be
increasingly vulnerable to competitive pressures due to expiring
patents on existing products as well as a lull in the development of
exciting new ones.

Q. THE FUND'S FINANCIAL HOLDINGS DIPPED FROM 11.3% OF NET ASSETS SIX
MONTHS AGO TO 4.6% AT THE END OF THE PERIOD. WHAT WAS YOUR REASONING
THERE?

A. I see the financial sector as a cyclical area and judged that we
were not at a particularly favorable stage of the cycle. Loan growth
was solid but unspectacular, and rising short-term interest rates made
it difficult for banks and other lending companies to expand their
profit margins. Additionally, in the latter stages of a credit cycle,
lenders typically face higher costs as more borrowers default on their
loans.

Q. WHICH STOCKS DID WELL FOR THE FUND?

A. Immunex and Amgen were two of the fund's best performers. Immunex
was helped by promising research results on its anti-arthritis drug,
Enbrel, while Amgen enjoyed continued growth in two of its core
products, Epogen and Eupogen. Both stocks also benefited from
favorable investor sentiment for the biotechnology industry. Another
helpful holding was Texas Instruments. The company continued to
solidify its position as a worldwide leader in the manufacture of DSP
chips, which are used in wireless communications.

Q. WHICH STOCKS DETRACTED FROM PERFORMANCE?

A. Safeway, the fund's largest holding at the end of the period, also
was its biggest detractor. The stock fell sharply at the end of
September after the company reported lower-than-expected sales and
earnings. I maintained the fund's position based on my belief that the
company's dedication to cost cutting and renewed focus on revenue
growth would enable its stock to recover. Philip Morris and RJ
Reynolds also hurt performance. Investors fled these two tobacco
stocks when litigation pressures failed to subside after the
settlement of a multi-billion-dollar lawsuit at the state level.

Q. WHAT'S YOUR OUTLOOK, FERGUS?

A. Market conditions should be favorable, especially once Y2K concerns
are out of the way. Economic growth remains robust, with few signs of
inflationary pressures. Investors' recent narrow focus on technology
stocks is somewhat worrisome, but technology continues to be where
most of the growth is occurring. Moreover, the technology sector is
one of the best ways to play the accelerating global growth I see
occurring. Nonetheless, technology valuations are exceedingly high,
and I plan to be alert for opportunities in other market sectors as
they present themselves.

FERGUS SHIEL ON
HEALTH CARE STOCKS:

"When looking at the health care
sector, it's important to look `under
the hood' at the different
subsectors that compose it. For
example, service companies such
as HMOs have encountered
considerable difficulties in the past
year or so due to rising costs and
uncertainty about Medicare
reimbursements.

"Even the large drug company
stocks, many of which were part of
the `nifty fifty' stocks that many
investors wanted to own when the
economy was softer, have faltered
lately. These stocks are considered
by many investors to be defensive
because of the perception that the
companies can maintain steady
earnings growth in a variety of
economic environments. Now that
the concerns about a slowing
economy have passed, more investors
are willing to take a chance on the
stocks of smaller and mid-sized
companies in the biotechnology
and medical technology areas.

"Add to that the shifting dynamics
of the product pipelines I mentioned
earlier, which in the case of some
biotechnology companies represent
years of research and
development coming to fruition,
and the result is that
biotechnology has become the star
subsector in health care, at least
for the present."

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the period ended November 30, 1999


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. Foreign securities are valued based
on quotations from the principal market in which such securities are
normally traded. If trading or events occurring in other markets after
the close of the principal market in which foreign securities are
traded, and before the close of the business of the fund, are expected
to materially affect the value of those securities, then they are
valued at their fair value taking this trading or these events into
account. Fair value is determined in good faith under consistently
applied procedures under the general supervision of the Board of
Trustees. 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. 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

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - CONTINUED

INCOME TAXES - CONTINUED

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 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 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
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.

CENTRAL CASH FUNDS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC,
the fund may invest in the Taxable Central Cash Fund and the Central
Cash Collateral Fund (the Cash Funds) managed by Fidelity Investments
Money Management, Inc., an affiliate of FMR. The Cash Funds are
open-end money market funds available only to investment companies and
other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Cash Funds seek
preservation of capital, liquidity, and current income. Income
distributions from the Cash Funds are declared daily and paid monthly
from net interest income. Income distributions earned by the fund are
recorded as either interest income or security lending income in the
accompanying financial statements.

INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by
the SEC, the fund, along with other registered investment companies
having management contracts with FMR, may participate in an interfund
lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility
allowing the fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other
participating funds.

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF INVESTMENTS.

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities,
aggregated $16,063,565,000 and $16,128,340,000, 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 .2167% 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 annual 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 statements. For the period, the transfer agent fees were
equivalent to an annual 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 $1,355,000 for the
period.

5. INTERFUND LENDING PROGRAM.

The fund participated in the interfund lending program as a borrower.
The average daily loan balance during the period for which loans were
outstanding amounted to $15,451,000. The weighted average interest
rate was 5.4%. Interest expense includes $9,000 paid under the
interfund lending program.

6. SECURITY LENDING.

The fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn
additional income. The fund receives collateral in the form of U.S.
Treasury obligations, letters of credit, and/or cash against the
loaned securities, and maintains collateral in an amount not less than
100% of the market value of the loaned securities

6. SECURITY LENDING -
CONTINUED

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. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the
securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the fund
could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned
or in gaining access to the collateral. At period end, the value of
the securities loaned amounted to $155,109,000. The fund received cash
collateral of $170,038,000 which was invested in cash equivalents.

7. 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%. Interest expense includes $12,000 paid under
the bank borrowing program.

8. 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 $2,744,000 under this arrangement.

In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian and
transfer agent, 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 $5,000 and $138,000, respectively, under these arrangements.

9. 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:
