Oppenheimer Revenue Weighted ETF Trust Fund | Oppenheimer Energy Sector Revenue ETF

Oppenheimer Energy Sector Revenue ETF

Investment Objective

Oppenheimer Energy Sector Revenue ETF (the “Fund”) seeks to outperform the total return performance of the S&P 500® Energy 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)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses

Management Fees 0.45%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees none
Other Expenses 0.25%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses 0.70%
Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement (0.21%) [1]
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses after Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement 0.49%
[1] Oppenheimer 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 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.

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 Energy Sector IndexTM (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 energy 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 energy companies as companies that are included in the Benchmark Index at the time of purchase. Energy companies include companies whose businesses are dominated by construction or provision of oil rigs, drilling equipment or other energy related services or equipment, including seismic data collection; or companies engaged in the exploration, production, marketing, refining and/or transportation of oil and gas products, coal or other consumable fuels. The Fund will concentrate its investments in the energy industry 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. Energy companies in the Underlying Index develop and produce crude oil and natural gas and provide drilling and other energy resources production and distribution related services.

 

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.

 

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.

 

Energy Industry Risk Stock prices for energy companies are affected by supply and demand both for their specific product or service and for energy products in general. The price of oil and gas, exploration and production spending, government regulation, world events and economic conditions will likewise affect the performance of these companies. Energy companies may incur large cleanup and litigation costs relating to environmental damage such as oil spills.

 

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.
