                                CODE OF ETHICS

                                    OF THE

                          OPPENHEIMER/TREMONT FUNDS

                         Dated as of October 21, 2002

            This Code of Ethics has been adopted by each of the investment
companies for which OppenheimerFunds, Inc. ("OFI") serves as investment
adviser and for which Tremont Partners, Inc. ("Tremont") serves as investment
manager (or sub-adviser) (the "Funds"), and has also been adopted by Tremont,
in compliance with Rule 17j-l (the "Rule") under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended (the "Act"), to establish standards and procedures for
the detection and prevention of activities by which persons having knowledge
of recommended investments and investment intentions of the Funds, other
investment companies and other clients for which Tremont or Tremont Advisers,
Inc. ("Tremont Advisers") act as investment adviser, investment manager or
sub-adviser (collectively, "Advisory Clients") may abuse their fiduciary
duties and otherwise to deal with the type of conflict of interest situations
to which the Rule is addressed.

            In general, the fiduciary principles that govern personal
investment activities reflect, at a minimum, the following: (1) the duty at
all times to place the interests of Advisory Clients first; (2) the
requirement that all personal securities transactions be conducted consistent
with this Code and in such a manner as to avoid any actual or potential
conflict of interest or any abuse of an individual's position of trust and
responsibility; and (3) the fundamental standard that personnel providing
services to Advisory Clients should not take inappropriate advantage of their
positions.

            The provisions of the Code are applicable to the Funds and
Tremont, and to persons who are "Covered Persons," as defined below.  The
scope of the Code and its operation reflect the fact that a separate code of
ethics has been adopted by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. ("OFI"), the investment
adviser of the Funds, and by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. ("OFDI"), the
distributor of limited liability company interests in the Funds (the "OFI
Code").  All personnel of OFI and OFDI who are "access persons" of the Funds,
as such term is defined by the Rule, are subject to the provisions of the OFI
Code, which has been approved by the Board of Managers of each Fund in
accordance with the requirements of the Rule, and such persons shall not be
subject to the terms of this Code.  The provisions of this Code also reflect
the fact that the Funds presently pursue their investment objectives by
investing in private investment funds (and similar investment vehicles)
("Private Funds") and do not invest directly in any securities or financial
instruments other than interests in Private Funds and money market
instruments.

1.    Important General Prohibitions

            The specific provisions and reporting requirements of this Code
are concerned primarily with those investment activities of a Covered Person
(as defined below) who may benefit from or interfere with the purchase or
sale of portfolio securities by Advisory Clients.  However, both the Rule and
this Code prohibit any officer or director of an Advisory Client, as well as
any Affiliate (as defined below), from using information concerning the
investment intentions of Advisory Clients, or their ability to influence such
investment intentions, for personal gain or in a manner detrimental to the
interests of any Advisory Client.  Specifically, the Rule makes it unlawful
for any such person, directly or indirectly in connection with the purchase
or sale of a "security held or to be acquired" by any Advisory Client to:

(i)   employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud such Advisory Client;

(ii)  make to such Advisory Client any untrue statement of a material fact or
                        omit to state to such Advisory Client a material fact
                        necessary in order to make the statements made, in
                        light of the circumstances under which they are made,
                        not misleading;

(iii) engage in any act, practice, or course of business which operates or
                        would operate as a fraud or deceit upon any such
                        Advisory Client; or

(iv)  engage in any manipulative practice with respect to such Advisory
                        Client.

              Although the Funds and Tremont expect that Affiliates will not
generally have knowledge of the current investment activities of Private
Funds in which the Funds invest, persons subject to this Code (including
Affiliates and Covered Persons) should recognize that, in view of the broad
range of conduct prohibited by the Rule and this Code, personal transactions
in "securities being considered for purchase or sale" by Private Funds in
which the Funds invest will be treated as a violation of this Code (absent
compliance with the pre-clearance procedure set forth in paragraph 4(e) below
or another available exemption from the Code's prohibitions).

            "Advisory Client" means any Fund, other investment company or

            purchase, sale or ownership of a security except such interests

            investment company registered under the Act for which Tremont,

            506 under the Securities Act of 1933.

            "Security" includes any stock, note, bond, debenture, or any
            other instrument constituting a security as defined by Section
            2(a)(36) of the Act, including any warrant or option to acquire

            debt instrument" shall mean an instrument that has a maturity at
            issuance of less than 366 days and that is rated in one of the
            two highest rating categories by a Nationally Recognized
            Statistical Rating Organization (NRSRO).

            References to a "Security" in this Code shall include any warrant

            convertible into or whose value is derived from that "Security"

            "Security."

            "Security Held or to be Acquired" by an Advisory Client means any
            Security which, within the most recent 15 days (1) is or has been

            Advisory Client or its investment adviser, for purchase by the
            Advisory Client.

            A security is "being considered for purchase or sale" from the
            time a decision to purchase or sell a Security is made by a
            Portfolio Manager or by one or more Investment Persons having
            authority to make such a decision on behalf of an Advisory Client
            until all orders to purchase or sell that Security for any
            Advisory Client are completed or withdrawn.



3.    Prohibited Transactions

(a)   No Affiliate or Independent Director may purchase or sell any Security
      in which he or she has or thereby acquires a Beneficial Interest with
      actual knowledge that a decision to place an order for the purchase or
      sale of the same Security by an Advisory Client had been made or
      proposed.

(b)   No Covered Person may purchase or sell any Security in which he or she
      has or thereby acquires a Beneficial Interest with actual knowledge
      that, at the same time, such Security is "being considered for purchase
      or sale" by an Advisory Client or that such Security is the subject of
      an outstanding purchase or sale order by an Advisory Client.

(c)   No Investment Person may purchase any Security in an Initial Public
      Offering without the express written approval of the Administrator of
      this Code.

(d)   No Investment Person may, without the express prior written approval of
      the Administrator of this Code which shall set forth the rationale
      supporting such pre-approval, acquire any Security in a Private
      Placement, and if a Private Placement security is acquired, such
      Investment Person must disclose that investment when he or she plays a
      part in an Advisory Client's subsequent consideration of any investment
      in that issuer, and in such circumstances, an independent review shall
      be conducted by Investment Persons who do not have an interest in the
      issuer and by the Administrator.

(e)   No Covered Person may purchase or sell any Security in which he or she
      has or thereby acquires a Beneficial Interest with actual knowledge
      that, within the most recent 15 days, the Security has been purchased
      or sold or is being considered for purchase or sale by the general
      partner or investment adviser of: any Private Fund in which any
      Advisory Client is an investor; or any Private Fund being considered by
      Tremont, Tremont Advisers or any Investment Person as an investment for
      any Advisory Client.

(f)   An Investment Person may not accept any gifts or anything else of more
      than a de-minimis value from any person or entity that does business
      with or on behalf of an Advisory Client or from the general partner or
      investment adviser (or any affiliate of the general partner or
      investment adviser) of any Private Fund.

(g)   No Investment Person may serve on the board of directors or trustees of
      a publicly-traded corporation or other business entity without the
      prior written approval of the Administrator.

4.    Exempt Transactions

            Neither the prohibitions nor the reporting requirements of this
Code apply to:

(a)   Purchases or sales of Securities for an account over which an Affiliate
      or Covered Person has no direct control and does not exercise indirect
      control.

(b)   Involuntary purchases or sales made by either an Affiliate or Covered
      Person or any Fund.

(c)   Purchases which are part of an automatic dividend reinvestment plan.

(d)   Purchases resulting from the exercise of rights acquired from an issuer
      as part of a pro rata distribution to all holders of a class of
      securities of such issuer and the sale of such rights.

(e)   Purchases or sales which receive the express written approval and
      pre-clearance of the Administrator of this because the purchase or sale
      will not occasion the improper use of an Advisory Client's proprietary
      information or an abuse of the individual's position of trust and
      responsibility to an Advisory Client and because:

(i)   their potential harm to an Advisory Client is remote;

(ii)  they would be unlikely to affect a highly institutional market; or

(iii) they are clearly not related economically to securities being
                        considered for purchase or sale by an Advisory Client.

5.    Reporting Requirements

(a)   Within ten (10) days after the end of each calendar quarter, all
      Covered Persons shall make a written report to the Administrator of
      this Code of all non-exempt securities transactions occurring in the
      quarter by which they acquired or disposed of a Beneficial Interest in
      any security and if no non-exempt transaction in a security occurred
      during the quarter, the written report shall so state.

      However, a Covered Person shall not be considered in violation of this
      Code for not making a quarterly report if all such information required
      by that report is contained in trade confirmations and account
      statements previously provided to the Administrator of this Code for
      the time period covered by that quarterly report.

(b)   An Independent Manager need only report non-exempt transactions (in
      which he or she has had a Beneficial Interest) in a Security
      (excluding, for purposes of this subparagraph (b), open-end mutual
      funds affiliated with OFI or any affiliate of OFI) which, at the time,
      such manager knew, or in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or her
      duties, should have known was purchased or sold or was being or had
      been considered for purchase or sale by an Advisory Client during the
      fifteen (15) day period immediately preceding or after the date of the
      Independent Manager's transaction and if no non-exempt transaction in a
      security occurred during the quarter, the written report, if any, shall
      so state.  A written report will not be required for any quarter in
      which an Independent Manager has only exempt transactions to report.

(c)   Transactions in an account identified to the Administrator of this Code
      need not be otherwise reported if the Covered Person shall have
      authorized disclosure of all securities transactions in the account to
      the Administrator and furnished the Administrator copies of all
      confirmations and monthly statements pertaining to such account.

(d)   The quarterly report must contain the following information with
      respect to each reportable transaction:

(i)   Name(s) in which the account is registered and the date the account was
                        established;

                        acquisition or disposition);

(iii) Title, number of shares, principal amount, interest rate and maturity
                        (as applicable) of each security and the price at

(iv)  Name of the broker, dealer or bank with or through whom the transaction
                        was effected; and

(v)   the date the report is submitted.

(e)   Any such report may contain a statement that it is not to be construed
      as an admission that the person making it has or had any direct or
      indirect Beneficial Interest in any security to which the report
      relates.

(f)   [All Covered Persons other than Independent Managers shall arrange for
      copies of confirmations of all personal securities transactions and
      periodic statements of securities accounts to be sent directly to the
      Administrator.]

(g)   All Covered Persons other than Independent Managers shall initially,
      within ten (10) days of becoming a Covered Person, and at least
      annually thereafter make a written holdings report to the Administrator
      of the Code of Ethics with the following information (such information,
      as to the annual report, must be current as of a date no more than 30
      days before the report is submitted).

(i)   Name(s) in which the account is registered and the date the account was
                        established;

(ii)  Title, number of shares, principal amount, interest rate and maturity
                        (as applicable) of each Security;

                        and

(iv)  the date the report is submitted.

(h)   All Covered Persons shall, at least annually, certify that they have
      read and understand this Code and recognize that they are subject
      thereto.

(i)   All Covered Persons other than Independent Managers shall certify
      annually, that they have complied with the requirements of this Code
      and that they have disclosed or reported all personal securities
      transactions and holdings required to be disclosed or reported pursuant
      thereto.

6.    Confidentiality of Advisory Client Transactions

            Until disclosed in a public report to shareholders or to the SEC
in the normal course, all information concerning the securities "being
considered for purchase or sale" by any Advisory Client shall be kept
confidential by all Covered Persons and disclosed by them only on a need to
know basis in accordance with practices and policies developed and
periodically reviewed for their continuing appropriateness by an officer of
Tremont.  Any questions regarding confidentiality are to be directed to the
Administrator of this Code.  It shall be the responsibility of the
Administrator to be familiar with such practices and policies and to report
any inadequacy found by him to Tremont and the managers of the Funds or any
committee appointed by them to deal with such information.

7.    Sanctions

            Any violation of this Code of Ethics shall be subject to the
imposition of such sanctions by Tremont as may be deemed appropriate under
the circumstances to achieve the purposes of the Rule and this Code and may
include suspension or termination of employment, a letter of censure and/or
restitution of an amount equal to the difference between the price paid or
received by the affected Advisory Client(s) and the more advantageous price
paid or received by the offending person except that sanctions for violation
of this Code by an Independent Manager of a Fund will be determined by a
majority vote of its other Independent Directors.

8.    Administration and Construction

                        and this Code.

(viii)      Conducting such inspections or investigations, including scrutiny
                        of the listings referred to in subparagraph (v)
