Investment Objective

Oppenheimer Financials Sector Revenue ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to outperform the total return performance of the S&P 500® Financials Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (the “Benchmark Index”).

Fees and Expenses

The following table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund (“Shares”). You may also incur customary brokerage charges when buying or selling Fund Shares.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses  
(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)  
Management Fees 0.45%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees 0.00%
Other Expenses 0.38%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses 0.83%
Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement1 –0.34%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement 0.49%
1Oppenheimer Revenue Weighted ETF Trust (the “Trust”) and VTL Associates, LLC, the Fund’s investment adviser, (“VTL” or “Management”) have entered into a written fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreement pursuant to which VTL has agreed to waive a portion of its fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to keep the Fund’s Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses (excluding any acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, interest, brokerage fees, certain insurance costs, and extraordinary and other non-routine expenses) from exceeding 0.49% of average daily net assets. This agreement will remain in effect and will be contractually binding through December 2, 2017, unless approved by the Board. If Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses would fall below the expense limit, VTL may cause the Fund’s expenses to remain at the expense limit while it is reimbursed for fees that it waived or expenses that it reimbursed during the previous three year period. The amount of any recoupment will not exceed any current expense cap or an expense cap that existed during the period for which expenses were recouped.

The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in the Fund for the time periods indicated and then redeem all of the Shares at the end of those periods. This example assumes that the Fund provides a return of 5% a year and that operating expenses remain the same, except that the Fund’s expenses are reduced through December 2, 2017 by the fee waiver and expense reimbursement agreement described above. This example does not include the brokerage commission that you may pay to buy and sell exchange-traded Shares of the Fund. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities or other instruments. A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual Fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund’s performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 20.42% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund is an exchange-traded fund (“ETF”). The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by attempting to replicate the portfolio of the OFI Revenue Weighted Financials Sector Index™ (the “Underlying Index”). The Underlying Index is constructed by re-weighting the constituent securities of the Benchmark Index according to the revenue earned by the companies in the Benchmark Index, subject to certain asset diversification requirements. The Underlying Index is rebalanced quarterly according to revenue weightings as of the previous quarter. The Underlying Index thus contains the same securities as the Benchmark Index, but in different proportions.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in financials companies included in the Benchmark Index, and generally expects to be substantially invested at such times, with at least 95% of its net assets invested in these securities. The Fund defines financials companies as companies that are included in the Benchmark Index at the time of purchase. Financials companies include companies involved in activities such as: banking; mortgage finance; consumer finance; specialized finance; investment banking and brokerage; asset management and custody; corporate lending; insurance; financial investment; and real estate, including real estate investment trusts. The Fund will concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries, such as the commercial banks, diversified financial series and insurance industries, to approximately the same extent that its Underlying Index is concentrated, meaning that it will invest more than 25% of its total assets in that industry or group of industries.

The Fund’s intention is to replicate the constituent securities of the Underlying Index as closely as possible. When a replication strategy could have adverse consequences to Fund shareholders, however, the Fund may utilize a “representative sampling” strategy whereby the Fund would hold a significant number of the component securities of the Underlying Index, but may not track that index with the same degree of accuracy as would an investment vehicle replicating the entire index. The Fund does not seek temporary defensive positions when equity markets decline or appear to be overvalued.

The Fund is non-diversified and therefore may invest a greater percentage of its assets in a particular issuer than a diversified Fund.

Principal Risks

Like all investments, investing in the Fund entails risks, including the risk that you may lose part or all of the money you invest.

Investment Approach Risk The alternate weighting approach employed by the Underlying Index and the Fund, while designed to enhance potential returns compared to the Benchmark Index, may not produce the desired results. Using revenues as a weighting measure is no guarantee that the Underlying Index or the Fund will outperform the Benchmark Index, and may even cause the Underlying Index or the Fund to underperform the Benchmark Index.

Stock Market Risk Stock market risk is the risk that broad movements in financial markets will adversely affect the price of the Fund’s investments, regardless of how well the companies in which the Fund invests perform. There is also a risk that the price of one or more of the securities or other instruments in the Fund’s portfolio will fall.

Financials Sector Risk Financial services companies are subject to extensive governmental regulation, which may limit both the amounts and types of loans and other financial commitments they can make, and the interest rates and fees they can charge. Government regulation may also adversely affect the scope of their activities and the amount of capital they must maintain. Profitability is largely dependent on the availability and cost of capital funds, and can fluctuate significantly when interest rates change or due to increased competition. Credit losses resulting from financial difficulties of borrowers and financial losses associated with investment activities can negatively impact the sector. Insurance companies may be subject to severe price competition and/or rate regulation, which may have an adverse impact on their profitability.

Deterioration of credit markets, such as that which occurred in 2008 and 2009, can have an adverse impact on a broad range of financial markets, causing certain financial services companies to incur large losses. In these conditions, financial services companies may experience significant declines in the valuation of their assets, take actions to raise capital and even cease operations. Some financial services companies may also be required to accept or borrow significant amounts of capital from government sources and may face future government imposed restrictions on their businesses or increased government intervention, although there is no guarantee that governments will provide such relief in the future. These actions may cause the securities of many financial services companies to decline in value.

In response to the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) was enacted into federal law on July 21, 2010, in large part to provide increased regulation of financial institutions. The Dodd-Frank Act has had and will continue to have for years to come a broad impact on virtually all participants in the financial services industry. Government regulation may change frequently and may have significant adverse consequences for companies in the financials sector, including effects not intended by such regulation. Government regulation also may have adverse effects on certain issuers, such as decreased profits or revenues. The impact of recent or future regulation in various countries on any individual financial company or on the sector as a whole cannot be predicted.

Market Trading Risk An investment in the Shares may present secondary market trading risks, including the inability to sell your Shares in the event of a severe market disruption, or the inability to buy and sell Shares at a price that reflects the actual value of the Fund’s portfolio. Although it is expected that Shares will remain listed for trading on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (the “Exchange”), disruptions to creations and redemptions, the existence of market volatility or lack of an active trading market for the Shares (including through a trading halt), as well as other factors, may result in the Shares trading significantly above (at a premium to) or below (at a discount to) the Fund’s NAV (calculated at the end of the day), or the intraday value of the Fund’s published basket of portfolio securities (i.e., the “intraday indicative value” or “IIV”). During such periods, you may be unable to sell your Shares or may incur significant losses if you sell your Shares.

Non-Correlation Risk The Fund’s return may not match the return of the Underlying Index for a number of reasons. For example, the Fund incurs a number of operating expenses, while the Underlying Index does not. Tracking error may also occur because of differences between the securities or other instruments held in the Fund’s portfolio and those included in the Underlying Index, pricing differences, transaction costs, the Fund’s holding of uninvested cash, differences in the timing of the accrual of dividends or interest, tax gains or losses, changes to the Underlying Index, or the need to meet various new or existing regulatory requirements. This risk may be heightened during times of increased market volatility or other unusual market conditions.

Concentration Risk The Fund will concentrate in industries to the same extent as its Underlying Index. The Fund may be adversely affected by the performance of the securities in a particular industry or group of industries and may be subject to increased price volatility and may be more susceptible to adverse economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting that market, industry, group of industries, sector or asset class than may be the case for a fund that was not concentrated in a particular industry or group of industries.

Non-Diversification Risk The Fund is non-diversified and, as a result, may have greater volatility than other diversified funds. Because a non-diversified fund may invest a larger percentage of its assets in securities of a single company than diversified funds, the performance of that company can have a substantial impact on Share price.

Portfolio Turnover Risk Because the Fund is rebalanced quarterly, the Fund may experience portfolio turnover in excess of 100%. Portfolio turnover may involve the payment by the Fund of brokerage and other transaction costs on the sale of securities, as well as on the investment of the proceeds in other securities. The greater the portfolio turnover, the greater the transaction costs to the Fund, which could have an adverse effect on the Fund’s total rate of return, and the more likely the Fund is to generate capital gains that must be distributed to shareholders as taxable income.

Authorized Participant Concentration Risk Only an authorized participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. The Fund has a limited number of intermediaries that act as authorized participants and none of these authorized participants is or will be obligated to engage in creation or redemption transactions. To the extent that these intermediaries exit the business or are unable to or choose not to proceed with creation and/or redemption orders with respect to the Fund and no other authorized participant is able to step forward to create or redeem Shares may trade at a discount to NAV or IIV, and the Fund may possibly face delisting.

Purchase and Sale of Shares

Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems Shares on a continuous basis, at NAV, only in Creation Units consisting of 50,000 Shares. The Fund generally will issue or redeem Creation Units in return for a designated portfolio of securities (and an amount of cash) that the Fund specifies each day. Individual Shares may only be purchased and sold on the Exchange through a broker-dealer. Shares will trade at market prices rather than NAV. As such, Shares may trade at a price greater than NAV or IIV (premium) or less than NAV or IIV (discount).

Tax Information

The Fund’s distributions generally are taxable to you as ordinary income, capital gains, or some combination of both, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred arrangement, in which case your distributions generally will be taxed when withdrawn from the tax-deferred account.

Financial Intermediary Compensation

If you purchase the Fund through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), VTL may pay the intermediary for the sale of Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.
