Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual 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) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Victor Thay, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Convertible Securities Fund

A healthier economy translated into improved equity market performance for the year ending November 30, 2003. Early signals of an economic recovery were seen when growth in gross domestic product (GDP) surprised on the upside in the first and second quarters of 2003. The Federal Reserve Board added further fuel in June by dropping interest rates to a 45-year low. Federal tax cuts and credits, as well as a boom in mortgage refinancing, put even more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth, propelled by robust consumer and business spending, grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984. Consumer spending had its strongest third quarter since 1997, while corporate profits had their best showing since 1992. As a result of 2003's economic momentum, stocks enjoyed their best showing since 1999 and were poised to end their three-year losing streak. For the year ending November 30, 2003, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 15.09%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM returned 12.47% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 33.23%.

The fund gained 22.48% for the year ending November 30, 2003, while the Merrill Lynch® All U.S. Convertible Securities Index and the LipperSM Convertible Securities Funds Average rose 22.46% and 22.06%, respectively. I was more aggressive at times during the first half of the period, focusing on a mix of securities likely to benefit from a cyclical upturn in the economy. This mix included more-volatile equity-sensitive convertible issues, as well as some common stocks and high-yield bonds that I felt had better upside potential. This positioning paid off nicely given improving credit and equity markets, particularly versus our average competitor, which may have had less pure-equity or high-yield exposure. Rebounding wireless services names Crown Castle and Nextel Communications led the way versus the index, followed by Internet holdings Amazon.com and Yahoo!. On the down side, I turned too defensive prematurely and thus didn't have enough overall equity risk exposure when the markets continued to rally. We lost ground in technology, as I shied away from beaten-down, lower-quality telecom equipment names - including Nortel Networks and Lucent - that snapped back sharply. Elsewhere, media holdings such as Viacom and Radio One failed to rebound and ended up trailing the market by a sizable margin.

A Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.

B Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

C Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the fund.

D Effective December 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities. Per-share data and ratios for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.

E As a result of a revision to reflect accretion of market discount using the interest method, certain amounts for the year ended November 30, 2002 have been reclassified from what was previously reported. The impact of this change was a decrease to net investment income (loss) of $0.06 per share with a corresponding increase to net realized and unrealized gain (loss) per share. The ratio of net investment income (loss) to average net assets decreased from 4.76% to 4.40%. The reclassification has no impact on the net assets of the fund.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

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 (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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. 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. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which 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. The fund estimates the components of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

Reclassification of Financial Information. As a result of a revision to reflect accretion of market discount using the interest method, certain amounts for the year ended November 30, 2002, have been reclassified from what was previously reported. Net investment income (loss) for the fund decreased by $5,674 with a corresponding decrease to realized and unrealized loss of $2,349. The reclassification has no impact on the net assets of the fund.

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.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Distributions are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Annual Report

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders - continued

Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, prior period premium and discount on debt securities market, discount contingent interest, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales and excise tax regulations.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

2. Operating Policies - continued

Restricted Securities. The fund may 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. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of ± .15% of the fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .60% of the fund's 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 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 .20% 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.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other

Central Funds - continued

accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $403 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

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 funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

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 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, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $270 for the period. In addition, through arrangements with the fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody expenses by $6.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual 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) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Annual Report

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Steve DuFour, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Equity-Income II Fund

A healthier economy translated into improved equity market performance for the year ending November 30, 2003. Early signals of an economic recovery were seen when growth in gross domestic product (GDP) surprised on the upside in the first and second quarters of 2003. The Federal Reserve Board added further fuel in June by dropping interest rates to a 45-year low. Federal tax cuts and credits, as well as a boom in mortgage refinancing, put even more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth, propelled by robust consumer and business spending, grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984. Consumer spending had its strongest third quarter since 1997, while corporate profits had their best showing since 1992. As a result of 2003's economic momentum, stocks enjoyed their best showing since 1999 and were poised to end their three-year losing streak. For the year ending November 30, 2003, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 15.09%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM returned 12.47% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 33.23%.

For the 12 months ending November 30, 2003, Fidelity Equity-Income II Fund returned 16.40%, topping the 14.65% return for the LipperSM Equity Income Objective Funds Average, but lagging the 18.39% return for the Russell 3000® Value Index. Despite a positive return for the fund's financial holdings, they lagged those of the index, resulting in the bulk of the fund's relative shortfall. Although business improved for a few of our larger holdings in this sector - such as brokerage Charles Schwab, insurance giant American International Group and financial services provider Mellon - these stocks underperformed the overall sector. Elsewhere, the fund's overweighting in poor-performing energy services stocks, such as Schlumberger and Weatherford International, also held back its return versus the index. I believe the fund outperformed its peers because it generally owned a large percentage of stocks in economically sensitive industries - including capital goods, materials and semiconductors - that experienced a pickup in business activity. Some top performers included truck manufacturer PACCAR, aerospace supplier Goodrich and aluminum producer Alcoa. Adding several stocks as they declined earlier in the period, such as semiconductor maker Analog Devices and retailer Home Depot, also made a strong contribution.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

A Total returns would have been lower had certain expenses not been reduced during the periods shown.

B Calculated based on average shares outstanding during the period.

C Expense ratios reflect operating expenses of the fund. Expenses before reductions do not reflect amounts reimbursed by the investment adviser or reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements and do not represent the amount paid by the fund during periods when reimbursements or reductions occur. Expenses net of any voluntary waivers reflect expenses after reimbursement by the investment adviser but prior to reductions from brokerage service arrangements or other expense offset arrangements. Expenses net of all reductions represent the net expenses paid by the fund.

D Effective December 1, 2001, the fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide for Investment Companies and began amortizing premium and discount on all debt securities. Per-share data and ratios for periods prior to adoption have not been restated to reflect this change.

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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. Debt securities for which quotations are readily available are valued at their most recent bid prices (sales prices if the principal market is an exchange) in the principal market in which such securities are normally traded, as determined by recognized dealers in such securities, or securities are valued on the basis of information provided by a pricing service. Pricing services use valuation matrices that incorporate both dealer-supplied valuations and valuation models. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. 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. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Foreign Currency - continued

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which 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. The fund estimates the components of distributions received from Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). Distributions received in excess of income are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. 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, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. 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. In addition, the fund will treat a portion of the proceeds from shares redeemed as a distribution from realized gain for income tax purposes. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments

have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to futures transactions, foreign currency transactions, market discount, contingent interest, non-taxable dividends and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Futures Contracts. The fund may use futures contracts to manage its exposure to the stock market. Buying futures tends to increase the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument, while selling futures tends to decrease the fund's exposure to the underlying instrument or hedge other fund investments. Losses may arise from changes in the value

Futures Contracts - continued

of the underlying instruments or if the counter-parties do not perform under the contracts' terms. Gains (losses) are realized upon the expiration or closing of the futures contracts. Futures contracts are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or exchange on which they are traded.

Restricted Securities. The fund may 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. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .20% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the period, the total annual management fee rate was .48% of the fund's 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 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 .20% 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.

Annual Report

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $3,570 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

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 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, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $5,526 for the period. 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 the fund's expenses. During the period, these credits reduced the fund's custody and transfer agent expenses by $3 and $30, respectively.

Chairman's Message

(photo_of_Edward_C_Johnson_3d)

Dear Shareholder:

Many of you have read or heard news stories recently that were critical of mutual funds and made allegations that the mutual fund industry has been less than forthright. I find these reports unsettling and not necessarily an accurate picture of the overall industry, and I would like you to know where we at Fidelity stand.

With specific regard to allegations that certain mutual fund companies were violating the Securities and Exchange Commission's forward pricing rules or were involved in so-called "market timing" activities, I want to say two things:

First, Fidelity does not have agreements that permit customers who buy fund shares after 4 p.m. to obtain the 4 p.m. price. This is not to say that someone could not deceive the company through fraudulent acts. But I underscore that we have no so-called "agreements" which would permit this illegal practice.

Second, Fidelity has been on record for years opposing predatory short-term trading which adversely affects other shareholders in a mutual fund. In fact, in the 1980s, we began charging a fee - which is returned to the fund and, therefore, to investors - to discourage this activity. What's more, several years ago we took the industry lead in developing a Fair Value Pricing Policy to prevent market timing on foreign securities in our funds. It is reasonable to assume that another structure can be developed that would alter the system to make it much more difficult for predatory traders to operate. This, however, will only be achieved through close cooperation among regulators, legislators and the industry.

Certainly no industry is perfect, and there have been instances of unethical and illegal activity from time to time within the mutual fund industry. When this occurs, confessed or convicted offenders should be dealt with appropriately. Clearly, every system can be improved. We applaud well thought out improvements by regulators, legislators and industry representatives that achieve the common goal of building and protecting the value of investors' holdings. But we remain concerned about the risk of over-regulation and the quick application of simplistic solutions to intricate problems.

For more than 57 years, Fidelity Investments has worked very hard to improve its products and service to justify your trust. When our family founded this company in 1946, we had only a few hundred customers. Many of them were family and friends. Today, we serve more than 18 million customers including individual investors and participants in retirement plans across America.

Let me close by saying that we do not take your trust in us for granted, and we realize that we must always work to improve all aspects of our service to you. In turn, we urge you to continue your active participation with your financial matters, so that your interests can be well served.

Best regards,

/s/Edward C. Johnson 3d

Annual Report

Performance: The Bottom Line

Average annual 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) and assuming a constant rate of performance each year. The $10,000 table and the fund's returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. During periods of reimbursement by Fidelity, a fund's total return will be greater than it would be had the reimbursement not occurred. How a fund did yesterday is no guarantee of how it will do tomorrow.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

Comments from Jason Weiner, Portfolio Manager of Fidelity® Independence Fund

A healthier economy translated into improved equity market performance for the year ending November 30, 2003. Early signals of an economic recovery were seen when growth in gross domestic product (GDP) surprised on the upside in the first and second quarters of 2003. The Federal Reserve Board added further fuel in June by dropping interest rates to a 45-year low. Federal tax cuts and credits, as well as a boom in mortgage refinancing, put even more discretionary income in consumers' pockets. In the third quarter, GDP growth, propelled by robust consumer and business spending, grew 8.2%, its highest level since 1984. Consumer spending had its strongest third quarter since 1997, while corporate profits had their best showing since 1992. As a result of 2003's economic momentum, stocks enjoyed their best showing since 1999 and were poised to end their three-year losing streak. For the year ending November 30, 2003, the Standard & Poor's 500SM Index gained 15.09%, the Dow Jones Industrial AverageSM returned 12.47% and the NASDAQ Composite® Index advanced 33.23%.

The fund was up 13.47% for the one-year period ending November 30, 2003, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the LipperSM Capital Appreciation Funds Average returned 15.09% and 16.93%, respectively. Unfavorable security selection in some of the year's weaker-performing sectors was primarily to blame. The biggest drag came from our holdings in health care, which lagged those in the index by a wide margin. While the fund benefited from underweighting weak large-cap drug stocks, it wasn't enough to make up for some poor picks in the pharmaceuticals and biotechnology space, most notably Canadian-based Biovail and Trimeris. Another drag was overweighting tobacco holdings R.J. Reynolds and Altria Group during the first half of the period. Security selection in energy services also detracted, as did our underexposure to strong-performing semiconductor names such as Intel. Conversely, the fund got a boost in telecommunication services by favoring surging wireless stocks - including Nextel and tower company Crown Castle - rather than fixed-line carriers such as Verizon, which had a tough period. We also had strong results from our media holdings, led by satellite giant EchoStar. Positions in successful turnaround stories such as Xerox - which I eventually sold - further contributed.

Any such views are subject to change at any time based upon market or other conditions and Fidelity disclaims any responsibility to update such views.

For the period ended November 30, 2003

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

1. Significant Accounting Policies.

Fidelity Independence 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Net asset value per share (NAV calculation) is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time. Equity securities for which market quotations are available are valued at the last sale price or official closing price (closing bid price or last evaluated quote if no sale has occurred) on the primary market or exchange on which they trade. If an event that is expected to materially affect the value of a security occurs after the close of an exchange or market on which that security trades, but prior to the NAV calculation, then that security will be fair valued taking the event into account. 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. Price movements in futures contracts and ADRs, market and trading trends, the bid/ask quotes of brokers and off-exchange institutional trading may be reviewed in the course of making a good faith determination of a security's fair value. Short-term securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less for which quotations are not readily available are valued on the basis of amortized cost. Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their net asset value each business day.

Foreign Currency. The fund uses foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Losses from these transactions may arise from changes in the value of the foreign currency or if the counterparties do not perform under the contracts' terms.

Foreign denominated assets, including investment securities, and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and dividends received and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect on the transaction date.

The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on investments are included with the net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on investment securities. Other foreign currency transactions resulting in realized and unrealized gain (loss) are disclosed separately.

Annual Report

Notes to Financial Statements - continued

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

1. Significant Accounting Policies - continued

Investment Transactions and Income. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities where the ex-dividend date may have passed, which 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 is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, which is accrued using the interest method. 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, and are marked-to-market. Deferred amounts remain in the fund until distributed in accordance with the Plan.

Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing all of its taxable income and realized gains under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, no provision for income taxes is required in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign taxes are provided for based on each fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. 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. Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent and temporary book and tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary differences will reverse in a subsequent period. These differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, non-taxable dividends, capital loss carryforwards and losses deferred due to wash sales.

2. Operating Policies.

Repurchase Agreements. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMR) has received an Exemptive Order from the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) which permits the fund and other affiliated entities of FMR to transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts. These accounts are then invested in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by U.S. Treasury or Government obligations. The fund may also invest directly with institutions, in repurchase agreements that are collateralized by commercial paper obligations and corporate obligations. Collateral is held in segregated accounts with custodian banks and may be obtained in the event of a default of the counterparty. Collateral is marked-to-market daily and maintained at a value at least equal to the principal amount of the repurchase agreement (including accrued interest).

Restricted Securities. The fund may 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. Information regarding restricted securities is included at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

(Amounts in thousands except ratios)

3. Purchases and Sales of Investments.

Information regarding purchases and sales of securities is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.

Management Fee. FMR and its affiliates provide the fund with investment management related services for which the fund pays a monthly management fee. The management fee is the sum of an individual fund fee rate that is based on an annual rate of .30% of the fund's average net assets and a group fee rate that averaged .28% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the average net assets of all the mutual funds advised by FMR. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. In addition, the management fee is subject to a performance adjustment (up to a maximum of +/- .20% of the fund's average net assets over a 36 month performance period). The upward or downward adjustment to the management fee is based on the fund's relative investment performance as compared to an appropriate benchmark index. For the period, the total annual management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .41% of the fund's 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 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.

Central Funds. The fund may invest in affiliated Central Funds managed by Fidelity Investments Money Management, Inc. (FIMM), an affiliate of FMR. The Central Funds are open-end investment companies available only to investment companies and other accounts managed by FMR and its affiliates. The Central Funds seek preservation of capital and current income and do not pay a management fee. Income distributions earned by the fund are recorded as income in the accompanying financial statements and totaled $2,451 for the period.

Brokerage Commissions. The fund placed a portion of its portfolio transactions with brokerage firms which are affiliates of the investment adviser. The commissions paid to these affiliated firms are shown under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

Annual Report

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates - continued

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 funds to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. Information regarding the fund's participation in the program is included under the caption "Other Information" at the end of the fund's Schedule of Investments.

5. Committed Line of Credit.

The fund participates with other funds managed by FMR in a $3.5 billion credit facility (the "line of credit") to be utilized for temporary or emergency purposes to fund shareholder redemptions or for other short-term liquidity purposes. The fund has agreed to pay commitment fees on its pro rata portion of the line of credit. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

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 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, a fund could experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. Cash collateral is invested in cash equivalents. The value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end are disclosed on the fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

7. Expense Reductions.

Many of the brokers with whom FMR places trades on behalf of the fund provided services to the fund in addition to trade execution. These services included payments of certain expenses on behalf of the fund totaling $3,314 for the period.

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 Independence Fund (a fund of Fidelity Financial Trust) at November 30, 2003 and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as "financial statements") are the responsibility of the Fidelity Independence 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America 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, 2003 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
