1. Organization.
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 Fund offers Class A, Class M, Class C, Convertible Securities, Class I and Class Z shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Class A, Class M, Class C, Class I and Class Z are Fidelity Advisor classes. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class. Class C shares will automatically convert to Class A shares after a holding period of eight years from the initial date of purchase, with certain exceptions.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
 
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
 
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies . The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
 
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.  
 
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
 
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
 
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
 
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
 
Debt securities, including restricted securities, are valued based on evaluated prices received from third party pricing services or from brokers who make markets in such securities. Corporate bonds and preferred securities are valued by pricing services who utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type or by broker-supplied prices. When independent prices are unavailable or unreliable, debt securities may be valued utilizing pricing methodologies which consider similar factors that would be used by third party pricing services. Debt securities are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy but may be Level 3 depending on the circumstances.
 
Exchange-traded options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the last offering price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
 
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of May 31, 2023, is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
 
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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.
 
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost   and include proceeds received from litigation. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. 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 collectability of interest is reasonably assured. Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.
 
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
 
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.   Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
 
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
 
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
 
Book-tax differences are primarily due to foreign currency transactions, market discount, contingent interest, equity-debt classifications, certain conversion ratio adjustments, partnerships and losses deferred due to wash sales.
 
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
 
Gross unrealized appreciation
$124,223
Gross unrealized depreciation
(106,009)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
$18,214
Tax cost
$1,634,083
 
 
Restricted Securities (including Private Placements). Funds 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 held at period end is included at the end of the Schedule of Investments, if applicable.
4. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objectives allow for various types of derivative instruments, including options. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
 
Derivatives were used to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the objectives may not be achieved.
 
Derivatives were used to increase or decrease exposure to the following risk(s):
 
 
 
 
Equity Risk
Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.
 
 
 
Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to a fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
 
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
 
 
Options. Options give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying security or financial instrument at an agreed exercise or strike price between or on certain dates. Options obligate the seller (writer) to buy (put) or sell (call) an underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price or cash settle an underlying derivative instrument if the holder exercises the option on or before the expiration date.
 
Exchange-traded written covered call options were used to manage exposure to the market. When a fund writes a covered call option, a fund holds the underlying instrument which must be delivered to the holder upon the exercise of the option.
 
Upon entering into a written options contract, a fund will receive a premium. Premiums received are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Options are valued daily and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reflected in total accumulated earnings (loss) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a written option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying instrument in determining the gain or loss realized on that investment. When an option is closed, a gain or loss is realized depending on whether the proceeds or amount paid for the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium received. When an option expires, gains and losses are realized to the extent of premiums received. The net realized gain (loss) on closed and expired written options and the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written options are presented in the Statement of Operations.
 
Writing call options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument and risk of loss is the change in value in excess of the premium received.
 
Any open options at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Written Options", and are representative of volume of activity during the period unless an average contracts amount is presented.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. 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 relative investment performance of Convertible Securities as compared to its benchmark index, the ICE® BofAML® All US Convertibles Index, over the same 36 month performance period. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate, including the performance adjustment, was .57% of the Fund's average net assets. The performance adjustment included in the management fee rate may be higher or lower than the maximum performance adjustment rate due to the difference between the average net assets for the reporting and performance periods.
 
 
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, the Fund has adopted separate Distribution and Service Plans for each class of shares. Certain classes pay Fidelity Distributors Company LLC (FDC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, separate Distribution and Service Fees, each of which is based on an annual percentage of each class' average net assets. In addition, FDC may pay financial intermediaries for selling shares of the Fund and providing shareholder support services. For the period, the Distribution and Service Fee rates, total fees and amounts retained by FDC were as follows:

Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class Z. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class Z's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.

7. Committed Line of Credit.
Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:

12. Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
13. Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.
 
 
 
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (December 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023).
 
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
 
Fidelity Convertible Securities Fund  
 
At its May 2023 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for two months from June 1, 2023 through July 31, 2023. The Board determined that it will consider the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts for a full one year period in July 2023, following its review of additional materials provided by FMR.  
 
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through July 31, 2023, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in July 2023.
 
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the fund, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
 
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for two months from June 1, 2023 through July 31, 2023.  
                                                                                                       
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the Program) reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund's liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund's investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) certain factors specific to ETFs including the effect of the Fund's prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund's portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund's portfolio investments is classified into one of four defined liquidity categories based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
  • Highly liquid investments - cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
  • Moderately liquid investments - convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
  • Less liquid investments - can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
  • Illiquid investments - cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund's illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund's net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM).  The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund's Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of the Program for the period December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022.  The report concluded that the Program is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk.

1 . Organization.
Fidelity Equity Dividend Income 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 Fund offers Equity Dividend Income and Class K shares, each of which has equal rights as to assets and voting privileges. Each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to matters that affect that class.
2. Investments in Fidelity Central Funds.
Funds may invest in Fidelity Central Funds, which are open-end investment companies generally available only to other investment companies and accounts managed by the investment adviser and its affiliates. The Schedule of Investments lists any Fidelity Central Funds held as an investment as of period end, but does not include the underlying holdings of each Fidelity Central Fund. An investing fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of the underlying Fidelity Central Funds.
 
Based on its investment objective, each Fidelity Central Fund may invest or participate in various investment vehicles or strategies that are similar to those of the investing fund. These strategies are consistent with the investment objectives of the investing fund and may involve certain economic risks which may cause a decline in value of each of the Fidelity Central Funds and thus a decline in the value of the investing fund.

A complete unaudited list of holdings for each Fidelity Central Fund is available upon request or at the Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the financial statements of the Fidelity Central Funds which contain the significant accounting policies (including investment valuation policies) of those funds, and are not covered by the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission website or upon request.
3. Significant Accounting Policies.
The Fund is an investment company and applies the accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies . The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Subsequent events, if any, through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The Fund's Schedule of Investments lists any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) but does not include the underlying holdings of these funds. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the Fund:
 
Investment Valuation. Investments are valued as of 4:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last calendar day of the period. The Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as the valuation designee responsible for the fair valuation function and performing fair value determinations as needed. The investment adviser has established a Fair Value Committee (the Committee) to carry out the day-to-day fair valuation responsibilities and has adopted policies and procedures to govern the fair valuation process and the activities of the Committee. In accordance with these fair valuation policies and procedures, which have been approved by the Board, the Fund attempts to obtain prices from one or more third party pricing services or brokers to value its investments. When current market prices, quotations or currency exchange rates are not readily available or reliable, investments will be fair valued in good faith by the Committee, in accordance with the policies and procedures. Factors used in determining fair value vary by investment type and may include market or investment specific events, transaction data, estimated cash flows, and market observations of comparable investments. The frequency that the fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and they may be utilized to a significant extent. The Committee manages the Fund's fair valuation practices and maintains the fair valuation policies and procedures. The Fund's investment adviser reports to the Board information regarding the fair valuation process and related material matters.
 
The Fund categorizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to value its investments into a disclosure hierarchy consisting of three levels as shown below:
 
Level 1 - unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, etc.)
Level 3 - unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own assumptions based on the best information available)
 
Valuation techniques used to value the Fund's investments by major category are as follows:
 
Equity securities, including restricted securities, for which market quotations are readily available, are valued at the last reported sale price or official closing price as reported by a third party pricing service on the primary market or exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, securities are valued at the last quoted bid price or may be valued using the last available price and are generally categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For foreign equity securities, when market or security specific events arise, comparisons to the valuation of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), futures contracts, ETFs and certain indexes as well as quoted prices for similar securities may be used and would be categorized as Level 2 in the hierarchy. For equity securities, including restricted securities, where observable inputs are limited, assumptions about market activity and risk are used and these securities may be categorized as Level 3 in the hierarchy.
 
Exchange-traded options are valued using the last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, the last offering price and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including the Fidelity Central Funds, are valued at their closing net asset value (NAV) each business day and are categorized as Level 1 in the hierarchy.
 
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. The aggregate value of investments by input level as of May 31, 2023 is included at the end of the Fund's Schedule of Investments.
 
Foreign Currency. Certain Funds may use foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities. Gains and 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 rates 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.
 
Investment Transactions and Income. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund's investment holdings and NAV include trades executed through the end of the last business day of the period. The NAV per share for processing shareholder transactions is calculated as of the close of business of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time and includes trades executed through the end of the prior business day. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost   and include proceeds received from litigation. Commissions paid to certain brokers with whom the investment adviser, or its affiliates, places trades on behalf of a fund include an amount in addition to trade execution, which may be rebated back to a fund. Any such rebates are included in net realized gain (loss) on investments in the Statement of Operations. 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. Income and capital gain distributions from Fidelity Central Funds, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Certain distributions received by the Fund represent a return of capital or capital gain. The Fund determines the components of these distributions subsequent to the ex-dividend date, based upon receipt of tax filings or other correspondence relating to the underlying investment. These distributions are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. Interest income is accrued as earned and includes coupon interest and amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities as applicable. Investment income is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is uncertain. Funds may file withholding tax reclaims in certain jurisdictions to recover a portion of amounts previously withheld. Any withholding tax reclaims income is included in the Statement of Operations in dividends. Any receivables for withholding tax reclaims are included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities in dividends receivable.
 
Class Allocations and Expenses. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, common expenses of a fund, and certain fund-level expense reductions, if any, are allocated daily on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of a fund. Each class differs with respect to transfer agent and distribution and service plan fees incurred, as applicable. Certain expense reductions may also differ by class, if applicable. For the reporting period, the allocated portion of income and expenses to each class as a percent of its average net assets may vary due to the timing of recording these transactions in relation to fluctuating net assets of the classes. Expenses directly attributable to a fund are charged to that fund. Expenses attributable to more than one fund are allocated among the respective funds on the basis of relative net assets or other appropriate methods. Expenses included in the accompanying financial statements reflect the expenses of that fund and do not include any expenses associated with any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds. Although not included in a fund's expenses, a fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of these expenses through the net asset value of each underlying mutual fund or exchange-traded fund. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
 
 
Income Tax Information and Distributions to Shareholders. Each year, the Fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, including distributing substantially all of its taxable income and realized gains. As a result, no provision for U.S. Federal income taxes is required. The Fund files a U.S. federal tax return, in addition to state and local tax returns as required. The Fund's federal income tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for a period of three fiscal years after they are filed. State and local tax returns may be subject to examination for an additional fiscal year depending on the jurisdiction.   Foreign taxes are provided for based on the Fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.
 
Distributions are declared and recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions are declared separately for each class. Income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP.
 
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Capital accounts are not adjusted for temporary book-tax differences which will reverse in a subsequent period.
 
Book-tax differences are primarily due to   foreign currency transactions, partnerships, passive foreign investment companies (PFIC) and   losses deferred due to wash sales.
 
As of period end, the cost and unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in securities, and derivatives if applicable, for federal income tax purposes were as follows:
 
Gross unrealized appreciation
$714,089
Gross unrealized depreciation
(394,557)
Net unrealized appreciation (depreciation)
$319,532
Tax cost
$5,399,772
 
4. Derivative Instruments.
Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments. The Fund's investment objectives allow for various types of derivative instruments, including options. Derivatives are investments whose value is primarily derived from underlying assets, indices or reference rates and may be transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter (OTC). Derivatives may involve a future commitment to buy or sell a specified asset based on specified terms, to exchange future cash flows at periodic intervals based on a notional principal amount, or for one party to make one or more payments upon the occurrence of specified events in exchange for periodic payments from the other party.
 
Derivatives were used to increase returns and to manage exposure to certain risks as defined below. The success of any strategy involving derivatives depends on analysis of numerous economic factors, and if the strategies for investment do not work as intended, the objectives may not be achieved.
 
Derivatives were used to increase or decrease exposure to the following risk:
 
 
 
Equity Risk
Equity risk relates to the fluctuations in the value of financial instruments as a result of changes in market prices (other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign exchange risk), whether caused by factors specific to an individual investment, its issuer, or all factors affecting all instruments traded in a market or market segment.
 
Funds are also exposed to additional risks from investing in derivatives, such as liquidity risk and counterparty credit risk. Liquidity risk is the risk that a fund will be unable to close out the derivative in the open market in a timely manner. Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty will not be able to fulfill its obligation to a fund. Counterparty credit risk related to exchange-traded contracts may be mitigated by the protection provided by the exchange on which they trade.
 
Investing in derivatives may involve greater risks than investing in the underlying assets directly and, to varying degrees, may involve risk of loss in excess of any initial investment and collateral received and amounts recognized in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. In addition, there may be the risk that the change in value of the derivative contract does not correspond to the change in value of the underlying instrument.
 
Options. Options give the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call) or sell (put) an underlying security or financial instrument at an agreed exercise or strike price between or on certain dates. Options obligate the seller (writer) to buy (put) or sell (call) an underlying instrument at the exercise or strike price or cash settle an underlying derivative instrument if the holder exercises the option on or before the expiration date.
 
Exchange-traded written covered call options were used to manage exposure to the market. When a fund writes a covered call option, a fund holds the underlying instrument which must be delivered to the holder upon the exercise of the option.
 
Upon entering into a written options contract, a fund will receive a premium. Premiums received are reflected as a liability on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Options are valued daily and any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reflected in total accumulated earnings (loss) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. When a written option is exercised, the premium is added to the proceeds from the sale of the underlying instrument in determining the gain or loss realized on that investment. When an option is closed, a gain or loss is realized depending on whether the proceeds or amount paid for the closing sale transaction are greater or less than the premium received. When an option expires, gains and losses are realized to the extent of premiums received. The net realized gain (loss) on closed and expired written options and the change in net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on written options are presented in the Statement of Operations.
 
Writing call options tends to decrease exposure to the underlying instrument and risk of loss is the change in value in excess of the premium received.
 
Any open options at period end are presented in the Schedule of Investments under the caption "Written Options", and are representative of volume of activity during the period unless an average contracts amount is presented.

6. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates.
Management Fee. Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (the investment adviser) 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 an annualized group fee rate that averaged .23% during the period. The group fee rate is based upon the monthly average net assets of a group of registered investment companies with which the investment adviser has management contracts. The group fee rate decreases as assets under management increase and increases as assets under management decrease. For the reporting period, the total annualized management fee rate was .43% of the Fund's average net assets.
 
Transfer Agent Fees. Fidelity Investments Institutional Operations Company LLC (FIIOC), an affiliate of the investment adviser, is the transfer, dividend disbursing and shareholder servicing agent for each class of the Fund. FIIOC receives account fees and asset-based fees that vary according to the account size and type of account of the shareholders of the respective classes of the Fund, except for Class K. FIIOC receives an asset-based fee of Class K's average net assets. FIIOC pays for typesetting, printing and mailing of shareholder reports, except proxy statements.
 
For the period, transfer agent fees for each class were as follows:

Certain Funds participate with other funds managed by the investment adviser or an affiliate in a $4.25 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 participating funds have agreed to pay commitment fees on their pro-rata portion of the line of credit, which are reflected in Miscellaneous expenses on the Statement of Operations, and are listed below. During the period, there were no borrowings on this line of credit.

8. Security Lending.
Funds lend portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income. Lending agents are used, including National Financial Services (NFS), an affiliate of the investment adviser. Pursuant to a securities lending agreement, NFS will receive a fee, which is capped at 9.9% of a fund's daily lending revenue, for its services as lending agent. A fund may lend securities to certain qualified borrowers, including NFS. On the settlement date of the loan, a 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 a fund and any additional required collateral is delivered to a fund on the next business day. A fund or borrower may terminate the loan at any time, and if the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, a fund may apply collateral received from the borrower against the obligation. A fund may experience delays and costs in recovering the securities loaned. Any cash collateral received is invested in the Fidelity Securities Lending Cash Central Fund. Any loaned securities are identified as such in the Schedule of Investments, and the value of loaned securities and cash collateral at period end, as applicable, are presented in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Security lending income represents the income earned on investing cash collateral, less rebates paid to borrowers and any lending agent fees associated with the loan, plus any premium payments received for lending certain types of securities. Security lending income is presented in the Statement of Operations as a component of income from Fidelity Central Funds. Affiliated security lending activity, if any, was as follows:

9. Expense Reductions.
Through arrangements with the Fund's custodian, credits realized as a result of certain uninvested cash balances were used to reduce the Fund's expenses. During the period, custodian credits reduced the Fund's expenses by $2.
 
In addition, during the period the investment adviser or an affiliate reimbursed and/or waived a portion of fund-level operating expenses in the amount of $133.

12. Other.
A fund's organizational documents provide former and current trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the fund. In the normal course of business, a fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. A fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against a fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
13. Risk and Uncertainties.
Many factors affect a fund's performance. Developments that disrupt global economies and financial markets, such as pandemics, epidemics, outbreaks of infectious diseases, war, terrorism, and environmental disasters, may significantly affect a fund's investment performance. The effects of these developments to a fund will be impacted by the types of securities in which a fund invests, the financial condition, industry, economic sector, and geographic location of an issuer, and a fund's level of investment in the securities of that issuer. Significant concentrations in security types, issuers, industries, sectors, and geographic locations may magnify the factors that affect a fund's performance.
As a shareholder, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments or redemption proceeds, as applicable and (2) ongoing costs, which generally include management fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
 
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (December 1, 2022 to May 31, 2023).
 
Actual Expenses
The first line of the accompanying table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line for a class/Fund under the heading entitled "Expenses Paid During Period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period. If any fund is a shareholder of any underlying mutual funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) (the Underlying Funds), such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses incurred presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
 
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the accompanying table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. If any fund is a shareholder of any Underlying Funds, such fund indirectly bears its proportional share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in addition to the direct expenses as presented in the table. These fees and expenses are not included in the annualized expense ratio used to calculate the expense estimate in the table below.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transaction costs. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Board Approval of Investment Advisory Contracts
 
Fidelity Equity Dividend Income Fund
 
At its May 2023 meeting, the Board of Trustees, including the Independent Trustees (together, the Board), voted to continue the management contract with Fidelity Management & Research Company LLC (FMR), and the sub-advisory agreements and sub-subadvisory agreements, in each case, where applicable (together, the Advisory Contracts) for the fund for two months from June 1, 2023 through July 31, 2023. The Board determined that it will consider the annual renewal of the fund's Advisory Contracts for a full one year period in July 2023, following its review of additional materials provided by FMR.  
 
The Board considered that the approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts will not result in any changes in (i) the investment process or strategies employed in the management of the fund's assets; (ii) the fees and expenses paid by shareholders; (iii) the nature, extent or quality of services provided under the fund's Advisory Contracts; or (iv) the day-to-day management of the fund or the persons primarily responsible for such management. The Board also considered that since its last approval of the fund's Advisory Contracts, FMR had provided additional information on the fund in support of the annual contract renewal process, including competitive analyses on total expenses and management fees and in-depth reviews of fund performance and fund profitability information. The Board concluded that the fund's Advisory Contracts are fair and reasonable, and that the fund's Advisory Contracts should be renewed, without modification, through July 31, 2023, with the understanding that the Board will consider the annual renewal for a full one year period in July 2023.
 
In connection with its consideration of future renewals of the fund's Advisory Contracts, the Board will consider: (i) the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the fund, including shareholder and administrative services and investment performance; (ii) the competitiveness of the management fee and total expenses for the fund; (iii) the costs of the services and profitability, including the revenues earned and the expenses incurred in conducting the business of developing, marketing, distributing, managing, administering, and servicing the fund and its shareholders, to the extent applicable; and (iv) whether there have been economies of scale in respect of the Fidelity funds, whether the Fidelity funds (including the fund) have appropriately benefited from any such economies of scale, and whether there is the potential for realization of any further economies.
 
Based on its evaluation of all of the conclusions noted above, and after considering all factors it believed relevant, the Board ultimately concluded that the fund's management fee structure is fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the fund's Advisory Contracts should be approved for two months from June 1, 2023 through July 31, 2023.  
 
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the Liquidity Rule) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
The Fund has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the Program) reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk and to comply with the requirements of the Liquidity Rule. The Fund's Board of Trustees (the Board) has designated the Fund's investment adviser as administrator of the Program. The Fidelity advisers have established a Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the LRM Committee) to manage the Program for each of the Fidelity Funds. The LRM Committee monitors the adequacy and effectiveness of implementation of the Program and on a periodic basis assesses each Fund's liquidity risk based on a variety of factors including (1) the Fund's investment strategy, (2) portfolio liquidity and cash flow projections during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions, (3) shareholder redemptions, (4) borrowings and other funding sources and (5) certain factors specific to ETFs including the effect of the Fund's prices and spreads, market participants, and basket compositions on the overall liquidity of the Fund's portfolio, as applicable.
In accordance with the Program, each of the Fund's portfolio investments is classified into one of four defined liquidity categories based on a determination of a reasonable expectation for how long it would take to convert the investment to cash (or sell or dispose of the investment) without significantly changing its market value.
  • Highly liquid investments - cash or convertible to cash within three business days or less
  • Moderately liquid investments - convertible to cash in three to seven calendar days
  • Less liquid investments - can be sold or disposed of, but not settled, within seven calendar days
  • Illiquid investments - cannot be sold or disposed of within seven calendar days
Liquidity classification determinations take into account a variety of factors including various market, trading and investment-specific considerations, as well as market depth, and generally utilize analysis from a third-party liquidity metrics service.
The Liquidity Rule places a 15% limit on a fund's illiquid investments and requires funds that do not primarily hold assets that are highly liquid investments to determine and maintain a minimum percentage of the fund's net assets to be invested in highly liquid investments (highly liquid investment minimum or HLIM).  The Program includes provisions reasonably designed to comply with the 15% limit on illiquid investments and for determining, periodically reviewing and complying with the HLIM requirement as applicable.
At a recent meeting of the Fund's Board of Trustees, the LRM Committee provided a written report to the Board pertaining to the operation, adequacy, and effectiveness of the Program for the period December 1, 2021 through November 30, 2022.  The report concluded that the Program is operating effectively and is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund's liquidity risk.
