ABOUT THE FUND

THE FUND’S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT STRATEGIES
 

WHAT IS THE FUND’S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks to provide total return.
 

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? The Fund is a special type of mutual fund known as a “fund of funds” because it invests in other mutual funds. Those funds are referred to as the “Underlying Funds.” Under normal market conditions of the Fund will invest in shares of the following Oppenheimer funds that were chosen based on the Manager’s determination that they could provide total return. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets plus borrowings, calculated on a “look through” basis, in fixed income securities. This is a non-fundamental policy which will not be changed without providing 60 days’ notice to Fund shareholders.
 
The following table details the Underlying Fund options that are available to the Fund.
 

Underlying Funds – Oppenheimer Portfolio Series Fixed Income Active Allocation Fund

 

Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund

Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund

Oppenheimer International Bond Fund

Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC

The fixed income investments by the Underlying Funds can include: domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations; domestic and foreign government bonds, including U.S. government securities; and mortgage-related securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations) issued by private issuers. In general, these debt securities are referred to as “bonds.” The Fund and the Underlying Funds can invest in money market instruments, and the Underlying Funds can also invest in other debt obligations, including high-yield debt securities, that are below investment-grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). These investments are more fully explained in “About the Fund’s Investments,” below, and in the registration statements of each Underlying Fund.
 

Up to 20% of the Fund’s net assets may be invested according to a tactical allocation among the Underlying Funds or money market securities based on recommendations made by the Manager. “Tactical Allocation,” as used in this prospectus, refers to a strategy that involves adjusting the asset mix to take advantage of temporary market conditions that may present opportunities. This tactical allocation portion will be invested in at least two Underlying Funds. Additionally, the Manager could use derivatives, including futures contracts, put and call options and forward contracts, to effect a tactical allocation if it is determined that the Fund’s transactions would be detrimental to the Underlying Funds listed above. The Manager will select Underlying Funds for the tactical allocation that, based on its proprietary tactical asset allocation models (including computer aided models), it believes will have the greatest potential for positive total returns. The tactical asset allocation models use quantitative techniques to identify and validate trends in the prices of each Underlying Fund available for investment. There can be no assurance that the Underlying Funds selected by these models will perform as anticipated. The Underlying Funds selected may in fact decline in value and detract from the performance of the Fund.

HOW DOES THE MANAGER DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? Under normal market conditions, the Fund’s assets are mainly allocated among shares of the Underlying Funds listed above according to the following asset class targets, which may vary in particular cases and may change over time: Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, 44% of net assets; Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund, 12% of net assets; Oppenheimer International Bond Fund; 12% of net assets and Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund LLC, 12% of net assets.

The Manager considers each Fund’s investment objective in determining its allocations to individual Underlying Funds. To seek broad diversification of each Fund's assets, the Manager selects Underlying Funds with different investment guidelines and styles. The Manager looks to diversify both domestically and internationally, among different investment styles and market capitalizations. The Manager monitors the Underlying Fund selections and periodically rebalances each Fund’s investments to bring them back within their target weightings. In response to changing market or economic conditions, the Manager may change the Underlying Funds, the asset class allocations, or the Fund’s target weightings at any time, without prior approval from or notice to shareholders.
 

For temporary periods, a Fund may hold a portion of its assets in cash, money market securities or other similar, liquid investments. This will generally occur at times when the Manager is unable to immediately invest cash received from purchases of Fund shares or from redemptions of other investments.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking total return. The fund may be an appropriate investment for you if you want a professionally managed and diversified portfolio of mutual funds investing in fixed income and other securities. While it may be appropriate for a portion of a retirement plan investment, the Fund is not a complete investment program.
CAN THE FUND’S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES CHANGE? The Fund’s Board of Trustees can change non-fundamental policies without shareholder approval, although significant changes will be described in amendments to this prospectus. Fundamental policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund’s outstanding voting shares (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”)). The Fund’s investment objectives and principal investment strategies are not fundamental policies. Unless otherwise stated in this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information, investment policies of the Fund are not fundamental.

Certain investment objectives or strategies of the Underlying Funds may be fundamental policies and others may be non-fundamental policies, as indicated in each Underlying Fund’s prospectus or Statement of Additional Information. Each Underlying Fund’s Board of Directors or Trustees can change non-fundamental policies without shareholder approval, including without the approval of the Fund.
 

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have risks to some degree. The share prices of the Fund’s shares generally change daily based on the values of the Underlying Funds’ investments, which may be subject to a number of factors described below. By investing in different types of Underlying Funds, the Fund has partial exposure to the risks of different areas of the market. The Fund is also subject to the risk that poor security selection by the Underlying Funds may cause the Fund to underperform other funds having similar objectives.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN THE UNDERLYING FUNDS. Each of the Underlying Funds has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of a Fund's investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that a Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund. The investment objective and principal investments of each of the Underlying Funds are described in the section “More Information About the Underlying Funds.” The main risks of the Underlying Funds’ investments are summarized in this prospectus. There is no guarantee that any Underlying Fund will achieve its investment objective.
 
The Underlying Funds will pursue their investment objectives and policies without the approval of the Funds. If an Underlying Fund were to change its investment objective or policies, one or more of the Funds may be forced to sell their shares of that Underlying Fund at a disadvantageous time. The prospectuses and Statements of Additional Information of the Underlying Funds are available without charge upon request by contacting OppenheimerFunds Services at the toll free number on the back cover of this prospectus. Certain Underlying Fund documents can also be viewed and downloaded on the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

ALLOCATION RISK. The Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely upon selecting the best mix of Underlying Funds. There is the risk that the Manager’s evaluations and assumptions regarding the Underlying Funds’ performance may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions.
 

AFFILIATED PORTFOLIO RISK. In managing the Fund, the Manager will have authority to select and substitute Underlying Funds. The Manager may be subject to potential conflicts of interest in selecting Underlying Funds because the fees paid to it by some Underlying Funds are higher than the fees paid by other Underlying Funds. However the Manager’s fund of funds committee monitors the investment process, identifies, addresses, and resolves any potential issues, and reports to the Boards of the Funds and of each Underlying Fund at least annually.

There is no assurance that a Fund will achieve its investment objective. The risks described above are risks to the Funds’ overall portfolios. These are generally different from the risks of any one Underlying Fund. While each Underlying Fund has certain risk characteristics, the Manager’s strategy of allocating the Funds' assets to different Underlying Funds may allow those risks to be offset to some extent.

Risks OF INVESTING IN Fixed income Securities. Fixed income (debt) securities held by the Underlying Funds may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, and prepayment risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a security to make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. If an issuer fails to pay interest or to repay principal, the Underlying Fund’s income or share value might be reduced. The value of debt securities are also subject to change when prevailing interest rates change. When prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. When prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may sell at a discount from their face amount or from the amount the Underlying Fund paid for them. When interest rates fall, the issuers of mortgage-related debt securities may prepay principal to the Underlying Fund more quickly than expected and the Underlying Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate.

HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL? The risks described above and the risks of investing in the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests collectively form the overall risk profile of the Fund. However, the allocation strategies that the Manager employs for the Fund are designed to allow risks to be offset by one another. For example, the downward movement in one security or investment type may be offset by the upward movement in another. So while the Underlying Funds have certain risk characteristics, the Manager’s strategy of allocating Fund assets to different Underlying Funds may allow those risks to be offset. The Fund’s risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is generally more conservative than an equity or balanced fund but may be more volatile than a money market fund.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

The Fund’s Past Performance

The bar chart and table below show one measure of the risks of investing in the Fund, by showing the Fund’s performance (for its Class A shares) for the full calendar years since the Fund’s inception and by showing how the average annual total returns of the Fund’s shares, both before and after taxes, compare to those of a broad-based market indices. The after-tax returns for other classes of shares will vary.
 
The after-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect during the periods shown, and do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. The after-tax returns are calculated based on certain assumptions mandated by regulation and your actual after-tax returns may differ from those shown, depending on your individual tax situation. The after-tax returns set forth below are not relevant to investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or IRAs or to institutional investors not subject to tax. The Fund’s past investment performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Annual Total Returns (Class A) (as of 12/31 each year)

[See appendix to prospectus for data in bar chart showing the annual total return]

Sales charges and taxes are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart, and if those charges and taxes were included, the returns may be less than those shown.

For the period 1/02/2009 through 3/31/09, the cumulative return before taxes for Class A shares was -6.31%.
 
During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return (not annualized) before taxes for a calendar quarter was 1.01% (2nd Qtr 08) and the lowest return (not annualized) before taxes for a calendar quarter was -19.02% (4th Qtr 08).

The Fund’s average annual total returns include applicable sales charges: for Class A, the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%; for Class B, the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-years); and for Class C and Class N, the 1% contingent deferred sales charge for the 1-year period. There is no sales charge for Class Y shares. The returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The performance of the Fund’s shares is compared to Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged, broad-based index of investment grade corporate debt and the Citigroup World Government Bond Index, an unmanaged, broad-based index of debt securities of major foreign government bond markets. The indices performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund’s investments vary from those in the indices.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The following tables are provided to help you understand the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. Shareholders pay certain expenses directly, such as sales charges. The Fund pays other expenses directly for administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund’s assets, all shareholders therefore pay those expenses indirectly. In addition, the Fund indirectly bears its pro-rata share of the expenses of the Underlying Funds in which it invests. The numbers below are based on the Fund’s expenses during its fiscal year ended January 31, 2009.

1. A Class A contingent deferred sales charge may apply to redemptions of investments of $1 million or more or to certain retirement plan redemptions. See “How to Buy Shares” for details.

2. Applies to redemptions in the first year after purchase. The contingent deferred sales charge declines from 5% to 1% during years one through six and is eliminated after that.

3. Applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

4. May apply to shares redeemed within 18 months of a retirement plan’s first purchase of Class N shares.

5. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager receives an advisory fee equal to 0.50% of the average annual net assets of the Fund, reduced by the amount of advisory fees paid to the Manager by the Underlying Funds relating to the Fund’s assets invested in those funds. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. However, the management fee will not be waived or reduced below zero.

6. “Other Expenses” include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and audit and legal expenses that the Fund pays. The Transfer Agent has voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to an annual rate of 0.35% of the daily net assets for all classes. That undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. The Fund also receives certain credits from the Fund’s custodian that, during the fiscal year, reduced its custodial expenses for all share classes by less than 0.01% of average annual net assets.

7. “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are fees that the Fund incurs indirectly through its investments in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund and the Underlying Funds, any other mutual funds, hedge funds, private equity funds in which the Fund may invest, and certain other pooled investment vehicles, but not securities, such as structured finance products, collateralized debt obligations or other securities not traditionally considered investment companies or private investment companies. “Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses” are based on the total annual expense ratios of those funds, without giving effect to any fee waivers or reimbursements. Any material changes to the Fund’s asset allocation to the Underlying Funds or to Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund could increase or decrease those expenses.

8. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to a total expense limitation on the aggregate amount of combined direct (fund-of-funds level) and indirect expense so that “Total Annual Operating Expenses” as a percentage of daily net assets will not exceed the following annual rates: 1.10% for Class A, 1.85% for Class B and C, 1.35% for Class N, and 1.00% for Class Y. The Manager may modify or terminate this undertaking at any time without notice to shareholders. These expense limitations do not include extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing limits, the Manager is not required to waive or reimburse Fund expenses in excess of indirect management fees earned from investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund and the Underlying Funds. After all of the above waivers and credits, the actual “Total Annual Operating Expenses” as a percentage of average daily net assets were 1.10% for Class A, 1.85% for Class B and C, 1.35% for Class N, and 0.93% for Class Y.

EXAMPLES. The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated and reinvest your dividends and distributions. These examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund’s operating expenses remain the same. The Fund’s expenses will vary over time, and your actual costs may be higher or lower.

     The first example assumes that you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The second example assumes that you keep your shares. Based on these expense assumptions your expenses would be as follows:

In the first example, expenses include the initial sales charge for Class A and the applicable Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales charges. In the second example, Class A expenses include the sales charge, but Class B, Class C and Class N expenses do not include contingent deferred sales charges. There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.

In evaluating the Fund’s expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets or issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer other types of investment benefits to individuals without incurring the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities on your own. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund’s overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund’s shareholders

About the Fund’s Investments

THE FUND’S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS. The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund and certain Underlying Funds consider to be the most important in seeking to achieve their investment objectives and the following risks are those the funds expect their portfolios to be subject to as a whole.

Investments in the Underlying Funds. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests in diversified portfolios made up of varying allocations of investments in the Underlying Funds. The mix of Underlying Funds is chosen based on the Manager’s determination that they could provide the diversification needed to implement the Fund’s allocation strategy. The choice of Underlying Funds, the objectives and policies of the Underlying Funds, and the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Funds may change from time to time without approval by Fund shareholders.
 

An Underlying Fund may have investment policies similar to those of one of the other Underlying Funds or other funds advised by the Manager. If one of those other funds purchases or sells a particular security at the same time that an Underlying Fund is purchasing or selling it, such purchases or sales could affect the supply or price of the security. The simultaneous purchase of a security by one Underlying Fund and its sale by another Underlying Fund could also increase the trading costs borne indirectly by a Fund.

FIXED INCOME InvestMENTS. Certain of the Underlying Funds emphasize investments in debt securities, such as government securities and corporate bonds and debentures. The Underlying Funds might also buy short-term debt securities for liquidity purposes pending the purchase of new investments or to have cash to pay for redemptions of the Underlying Funds’ shares. Fixed-income investments may be subject to the following risks:

·     

Interest Rate Risk. The values of debt securities are subject to change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates fall, the values of outstanding debt securities generally rise. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. An Underlying Fund’s share prices may go up or down when interest rates change because of the effect of those changes on the value of the Underlying Fund’s investments in debt securities.


These fluctuations will often be greater for longer-term debt securities than for shorter-term debt securities. When the average maturity of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio is longer, its shares prices may fluctuate more when interest rates change. An Underlying Fund may also buy zero-coupon or “stripped” securities, which may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes. Interest rate changes may have different effects on the values of mortgage-related securities because of prepayment and extension risks.

·     

Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. That is the risk that when interest rates fall, borrowers will prepay the mortgages that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal to the Underlying Fund prior to the security's expected maturity. The Underlying Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If an Underlying Fund buys securities at a premium, accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the Underlying Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment represented by the premium. Interest-only and principal-only securities, which certain Underlying Funds may buy, are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and prepayment assumptions about those investments.


·     

Extension Risk. If interest rates rise rapidly, repayments of mortgages may occur at a slower rate than expected and the expected maturity of mortgage-related securities could lengthen as a result. Mortgage-related securities generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise. That could cause the value of an Underlying Fund's shares to fall.

·     

Credit Risk. Debt securities are also subject to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. U.S. government securities generally have lower credit risks, while securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments generally have greater credit risks. If an issuer fails to pay interest, an Underlying Fund's income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the values of that security and of the Underlying Fund's shares might fall. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news about an issuer can reduce the market value of that issuer's securities.

Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. To seek higher total return or income, some of the Underlying Funds may invest in securities with credit ratings below investment grade (commonly called “junk bonds”). That means that they are rated lower than “Baa” by Moody's Investors Service or “BBB” by Standard & Poor's Rating Service or have comparable ratings by other nationally-recognized rating organizations or are unrated securities that the Manager considers to be of equivalent quality. The credit risks of those Underlying Funds may be greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade bonds. Lower-grade debt securities may be subject to greater price fluctuations than investment-grade debt securities. Securities that are (or that have fallen) below investment grade may have a greater risk that the issuers might default on their obligations to pay interest or repay principle. There may be less of a market for those securities, making it harder to value them or sell them at an acceptable price. These risks may reduce an Underlying Fund's share prices and the income it earns.

Loans. An Underlying Fund may invest in loans made to U.S. and foreign borrowers that are corporations, partnerships or other business entities. The Underlying Fund may invest directly in loans (as an original lender or by assignment from a lender) or, like other Underlying Funds, indirectly in loans through loan participation agreements or certain derivative instruments. The Underlying Fund will invest in floating (sometimes referred to as “adjustable”) rate loans that pay interest at rates that float above (or are adjusted periodically based on) a benchmark that reflects current interest rates and may invest in loans with fixed interest rates.

·     

Credit Risk. Loans are subject to credit risk relating to the ability of the borrower under a loan or the issuer of a debt security to make interest and principal payments on the loan or security as they become due. If the borrower or issuer fails to pay interest, the Underlying Fund’s income might be reduced. If the borrower or issuer fails to repay principal, the value of that debt obligation and the net asset value of the Underlying Fund’s Shares might be reduced. A downgrade in a borrower’s or issuer’s credit rating or other adverse news can reduce the value of that borrower’s loans or that issuer’s securities.


·     

Risks of Default on Loans. Loans generally hold the most senior position in a borrower’s capital structure. Borrowers generally are required contractually to pay the holders of Loans before they pay the holders of corporate bonds or subordinated debt, trade creditors, and preferred or common stockholders. However, the Underlying Fund is subject to the risk that the borrower under a loan will default on scheduled interest or principal payments. For adjustable rate loans, the risk of default will increase in the event of a substantial increase in interest rates. Certain of the loans that the Underlying Fund purchases will be backed by collateral. However, the value of the collateral may decline after the Underlying Fund buys the loan, particularly if the collateral consists of equity securities of the borrower or its affiliates. If a borrower defaults, insolvency laws may limit the Underlying Fund’s access to the collateral, or the lenders may be unable to liquidate the collateral. If the collateral loses some or all of its value, if the Underlying Fund is unable to access the collateral, or if the collateral received is illiquid, the collateral may not be sufficient to protect the Underlying Fund in the event of a default of scheduled interest or principal payments. Also, the Underlying Fund can invest in loans that are not collateralized, which are subject to greater risks than collateralized loans.


·     

Interest Rate Risk. In general, the value of a loan changes as prevailing interest rates change. For fixed-rate loans, when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. When prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued loans generally fall, and they may sell at a discount from their face amount. Fixed-rate debt obligations the Underlying Fund buys are subject to this risk.


The Underlying Fund invests in loans with floating or adjustable interest rates. The Manager expects that when interest rates change, the values of these loans will fluctuate less than the values of fixed-rate loans and debt securities, and that the net asset value of the Underlying Fund’s shares will fluctuate less than the shares of funds that invest only in fixed-rate debt obligations. However, the interest rates of some floating rate loans adjust only periodically. Between the times that interest rates on these loans adjust, the interest rates may not correlate to prevailing interest rates. That will affect the value of these loans and may cause the net asset value of the Underlying Fund’s shares to fluctuate.

·     

Prepayment Risk. Loans usually have mandatory and optional prepayment provisions. If a borrower prepays a loan, the Underlying Fund will have to reinvest the proceeds in other loans or securities that may pay lower interest rates. However, prepayment and facility fees the Underlying Fund receives may help reduce any adverse impact on the Underlying Fund’s yield. Because the interest rates on certain loans adjust periodically, the Manager believes that the Underlying Fund should generally be able to reinvest prepayments in loans that have yields similar to those that have been prepaid.


·     

Highly Leveraged Loans and Insolvent Borrowers.The Underlying Fund can invest in loans made in connection with highly leveraged transactions. These transactions may include operating loans, leveraged buyout loans, leveraged capitalization loans and other types of acquisition financing. These loans are subject to greater credit and liquidity risks than other loans.


The Underlying Fund can also invest in loans of borrowers that are experiencing, or are likely to experience, financial difficulty. In addition, the Underlying Fund can invest in loans of borrowers that have filed for bankruptcy protection or that have had involuntary bankruptcy petitions filed against them by creditors. Various laws enacted for the protection of debtors may apply to loans. A bankruptcy proceeding against a borrower could delay or limit the ability of the Underlying Fund to collect the principal and interest payments on that borrower’s loans. If a lawsuit is brought by creditors of a borrower under a loan, a court or a trustee in bankruptcy could take certain actions that would be adverse to the Underlying Fund.

·     

Limited Availability of Loans. Investments in loans may be limited. There is a risk that the Underlying Fund may not be able to meet its minimum allocation to loans. The limited availability of loans may be due to a number of factors. Direct lenders may allocate only a small number of loans to new investors, including the Underlying Fund. There may be fewer loans available for investment that meet the Underlying Fund’s standards, particularly in times of economic downturns. Also, lenders or agents may have an incentive to market the less desirable loans to investors such as the Underlying Fund while retaining attractive loans for themselves. This would reduce the amount of suitable investments for the Underlying Fund.


Borrowing. Certain Underlying Funds can borrow money to pay redemption requests and for other permitted purposes. Borrowing money involves transaction and interest costs that will be borne by the Underlying Funds. To establish a line of credit, an Underlying Fund will have to pay various fees and expenses including a commitment fee to maintain the line of credit and interest on any amounts paid under the line of credit. To the extent that the Underlying Fund incurs borrowing costs, the Underlying Fund’s returns will be adversely affected. There is no guarantee that the line of credit will be available in whole or in part to pay withdrawal requests or for other permitted purposes.

Borrowing may entail other risks. Lenders to the Underlying Funds will have preference over the Underlying Funds’ shareholders as to payments of interest and repayments of principal on amounts that an Underlying Fund borrows and preference to the Underlying Fund’s assets in the event of its liquidation. Lending terms may limit an Underlying Fund’s ability to pay dividends to shareholders. Lending agreements may also grant the lenders certain voting rights if the Fund defaults in the payment of interest or principal on the loan.
 

Foreign Fixed-Income Securities. Some of the Underlying Funds may invest in a variety of debt securities issued by foreign governments and companies, as well as “supra-national” entities, such as the World Bank. They can include bonds, debentures, and notes, including derivative investments called “structured” notes, described below. The Underlying Funds’ foreign debt investments may be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies. Debt securities issued by a foreign government may not be supported by the “full faith and credit” of that government. Debt securities of issuers in developing or emerging markets countries may have a higher risk of default and some may be considered speculative.
 

·     

Special Risks of Emerging and Developing Markets. Securities in emerging and developing markets may offer special investment opportunities, but present risks not found in more mature markets. Those securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and their prices may be more volatile than securities of issuers in more developed markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the Fund may not receive the proceeds of a sale of a security on a timely basis.


     Emerging markets might have less developed trading markets, exchanges and legal and accounting systems. Investments may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions on withdrawing the sale proceeds of securities from the country. Economies of developing countries may be more dependent on relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Governments may be more unstable and present greater risks of nationalization or restrictions on foreign ownership of securities of local companies. These investments may be substantially more volatile than debt securities of issuers in the U.S. and other developed countries and may be very speculative.

Time Zone Arbitrage. Additionally, if an Underlying Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in foreign securities, it may be exposed to “time-zone arbitrage.” Time-zone arbitrage is an attempt by investors to take advantage of the differences in value of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a foreign security is traded and the before close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that day when the Underlying Fund’s net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Underlying Fund’s use of “fair value pricing” to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities under certain circumstances, to reflect what the Manager and the Board believe to be their fair value may help deter those activities.

U.S. Government Securities. Certain Underlying Funds may invest their assets in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities. Some of those securities are directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. “Full faith and credit” means that the taxing power of the U.S. Government is pledged to the payment of interest and repayment of principal on a security.
 
Some securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, such as Government National Mortgage Corporation pass-through mortgage obligations (“Ginnie Maes”), are also backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Others are supported by the right of the agency to borrow an amount from the U.S. Government (for example, “Fannie Mae” bonds issued by Federal National Mortgage Corporation and “Freddie Mac” obligations issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). Others are supported only by the credit of the agency (for example obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks). On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, a new independent regulatory agency, placed the Federal National Mortgage Corporation and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation into conservatorship and the U.S. Department of Treasury made a commitment to purchase mortgage-backed securities from the companies through December 2009. The U.S. Department of Treasury also entered into a new secured lending credit facility with those companies and a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. Under those agreements, the Treasury will ensure that each company maintains a positive net worth.

·     

U.S. Treasury Securities. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States for payment of interest and repayment of principal and have little credit risk. Some of the securities that are issued directly by the U.S. Treasury are: Treasury bills (having maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (having maturities of from one to ten years when issued), Treasury bonds (having maturities of more than ten years when issued) and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities ("TIPS"). While U.S. Treasury securities have little credit risk, they are subject to price fluctuations from changes in interest rates prior to their maturity.


·     

Obligations Issued or Guaranteed by U.S. Government Agencies or Instrumentalities. Certain Underlying Funds can invest in both direct obligations and mortgage-related securities that have different levels of credit support from the U.S. government. Some of these securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as Government National Mortgage Association (“Ginnie Mae”) pass-through mortgage certificates. Some are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances, such as Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) and Federal Home Loan Bank obligations. Others are supported only by the credit of the entity that issued them.


·     

Mortgage-Related Government Securities. Mortgage-related government securities include interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages, in the form of collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”) and other “pass-through” mortgage securities. They may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government, or its agencies and instrumentalities, or by private issuers. CMOs may be issued in different series, each having different interest rates and maturities.


CMOs that are U.S. government securities have collateral to secure payment of interest and principal. The collateral is either in the form of mortgage pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency or instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a U.S. government agency. The prices and yields of CMOs are determined, in part, by assumptions about the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages and are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

·     

Forward Rolls. In a “forward roll” transaction (also referred to as a “mortgage dollar roll”) a Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund will bear the risk that the market value of the securities might decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase them or that the counterparty might default in its obligations.


Private-Issuer Securities. Certain Underlying Funds can also invest in securities issued by private issuers, such as banks, savings and loans, and other entities, including private-issuer mortgage-backed securities. Securities issued by private issuers are subject to greater credit risks than U.S. Government securities.

Mortgage-Related Private Issuer Securities. Primarily these investments include multiclass debt or pass-through certificates secured by mortgage loans, which may be issued by banks, savings and loans, mortgage bankers and other non-governmental issuers. Private-issuer securities may include mortgage-backed securities with respect to both residential and commercial properties.
 
CMOs and other mortgage-related securities issued by private issuers are not U.S. Government securities. Those securities are subject to greater credit risks than U.S. Government securities. Private issuer securities are subject to the credit risks of the issuers as well as to interest rate risks, although in some cases they may be supported by insurance or guarantees. The prices and yields of private issuer mortgage-related securities are also subject to prepayment and extension risk. The market for private-issuer mortgage-backed securities may be volatile at times and may be less liquid than the markets for other types of securities.

 

Participation Interest in Loans. These securities represent an undivided fractional interest in a loan obligation of a borrower. They are typically purchased from banks or dealers that have made the loan or are members of the loan syndicate. The loans may be to foreign or U.S. companies. The loans are subject to the risk of default by the borrower. If the borrower fails to pay interest or repay principal, the investment may lose money.
 

No Underlying Fund will invest more than 5% of its net assets in loan interests of any one borrower.

Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are fractional interests in pools of loans, other assets or receivables. They are issued by trusts or other special purpose vehicles and are collateralized by the loans, other assets or receivables that make up the pool. The trust or other issuer passes the income from the underlying pool to the investor. Neither the Fund nor the Manager selects the loans or other assets that are included in the pools or the collateral backing those pools. Asset-backed securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. These securities are subject to the risk of default by the issuer as well as by the borrowers of the underlying loans in the pool. Certain asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risk as well as.

“Structured” Notes. “Structured” notes are specially-designed derivative debt investments. The terms of the instrument may be “structured” by the purchaser and the issuer of the note. Payments of principal or interest on these notes may be linked to the value of an index (such as a currency or securities index), an individual stock, or a commodity. The value of these notes will normally rise or fall in response to the changes in the performance of the underlying security, index or commodity.

Structured notes are subject to interest rate risk. Structured notes are also subject to credit risk both with respect to the borrower (referred to as “counter-party” risk) and with respect to the issuer of the underlying investment. If the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated, the investment might pay less interest than the stated coupon payment or repay less principal upon maturity. The price of structured notes may be very volatile and they may have a limited trading market, making it difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable price.
 

Some Underlying Funds may invest in structured notes that pay an amount based on a multiple of the relative change in value of the asset or reference. This type of note increases the potential for income but at a greater risk of loss than a typical debt security of the same maturity and credit quality.

Zero-Coupon and “Stripped” Securities. Some of the debt securities that certain of the Underlying Funds may buy are zero-coupon bonds that pay no interest and are issued at a substantial discount from their face value. They may be issued by the U.S. government or private issuers. “Stripped” securities are the separate income or principal components of a debt security. Some mortgage related securities may be stripped, with each component having a different proportion of principal or interest payments. One class might receive all the interest and the other all the principal payments. The securities that are entitled to only the principal payments may be sold at a substantial discount from the market value of the initial mortgage related security.

Zero-coupon and stripped securities are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates and may be subject to greater price fluctuations as a result of interest rate changes than interest-bearing securities. Some of the Underlying Funds may have to pay out the imputed income on zero-coupon securities without receiving the actual cash currently. The value of interest-only and principal-only securities mortgage related securities are also very sensitive to changes in prepayments of the underlying mortgages. The market for zero-coupon and stripped securities may be limited, making it difficult for the Fund to sell its holdings at an acceptable price.
 

Stock and Other Equity Investments. Certain Underlying Funds may invest in common stocks or other types of equity securities, including preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and securities convertible into common stock. The issuers may be small, medium or large capitalization companies, as defined in the particular Underlying Fund’s prospectus. Not all Underlying Funds define small- and mid-cap issuers in the same way. Some of the Underlying Funds may buy securities issued by foreign companies and may emphasize investments in “growth” securities or “value” securities.

·     

Common Stock. Common stock represents an ownership interest in the issuer and fluctuates in price in response to conditions affecting the issuer or changes in equity markets in general. An Underlying Fund may invest in common stock to seek capital appreciation, dividend income or both. Common stock is generally subordinate to the other securities of an issuer.


·     

Preferred Stock. Preferred stocks are a form of equity security that typically have a fixed dividend that may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. Preferred stock dividends may be cumulative (they remain a liability of the company until they are paid) or non-cumulative. If prevailing interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stock may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. The right to payment of dividends on preferred stock is generally subordinate to the rights of a corporation's debt securities.

·     

Convertible Securities. Some of the Underlying Funds may also buy interest bearing securities that are convertible into common stock. While many convertible securities are debt securities, the Underlying Funds consider some of them to be “equity equivalents” because of their features allowing them to be converted into common stock. Convertible securities may be subject to the risks of the common stock of the issuer as well as to credit risk and interest rate risk. Some of the Underlying Funds may buy convertible securities rated below investment grade by nationally recognized rating organizations. The credit rating of an “equity equivalent” convertible security generally has less impact on the Underlying Fund's investment decisions than in the case of other debt securities.

·     

Special Risks of Investing in Equity Securities. Equity securities fluctuate in price and their short-term volatility at times may be great. To the extent that an Underlying Fund invests in equity securities, the value of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio will be affected by changes in the stock markets. The value of the Underlying Fund’s shares will fluctuate as the values of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio securities change. The prices of individual stocks do not all move in the same direction uniformly or at the same time. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other. In addition to market risk, other factors can affect a particular stock’s price, such as poor earnings reports by the issuer, loss of major customers, major litigation against the issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or its industry.


Risks of Investing in Common Stock and other Equity Securities. The prices of common stock and other equity securities fluctuate in response to changing market conditions, and at times their short-term volatility may be great. An Underlying Fund’s emphasis on growth stocks or stocks issued by foreign issuers or small- or mid-sized companies can also result in higher volatility. Additionally, stocks of issuers in a particular industry may be affected by changes in economic conditions that affect that industry more than others, or by changes in government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events affecting that industry. Other factors can affect a particular company’s stocks price, such as poor earnings reports, loss of a major customer, litigation against the issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer or its industry.
 

Risks of Non-Diversification. One of the Underlying Funds, Oppenheimer International Bond Fund is “non-diversified” under the Investment Company Act. Accordingly, this fund can invest a greater portion of their assets in the debt securities of a single issuer than “diversified” funds. To the extent that this fund invests a relatively high percentage of their assets in the securities of a single issuer or a limited number of issuers, the fund is subject to additional risk of loss if those securities lose market value.

Money Market Instruments. Some of the Underlying Funds can invest in “money market instruments.” Money market instruments are short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated debt instruments, issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions, and other entities, that meet the quality, maturity, diversification and other standards that apply to money market funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Money market instruments include bank obligations, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, and other corporate and governmental debt obligations. They may have fixed, variable or floating interest rates. Money market instruments do not generate capital growth when held to maturity.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund or an Underlying Fund and their shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund and the Underlying Funds. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to an Underlying Fund’s investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of an Underlying Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as an Underlying Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Underlying Funds and, as a result, the value of securities held by an Underlying Fund or investment strategies may be adversely affected. Each Underlying Fund’s investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and an Underlying Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager, however such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund’s or the Underlying Funds’ investment activities and affect its performance.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund and the Underlying Funds also can invest their free cash balances in the Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund and the Underlying Funds may invest in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund rather than purchasing individual short-term investments to try and seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act, and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund or the Underlying Funds directly. At the time of an investment, the Fund or an Underlying Fund cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that might have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As shareholders, the Fund and the Underlying Funds will be subject to their proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund’s Class E expenses, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of each Underlying Fund’s advisory fee to the extent of its share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.
 

DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS. The Fund and each of the Underlying Funds may use derivatives to seek increased returns or to try to hedge investment and interest rate risks. The Underlying Funds have no stated limit on derivative investments, but will comply with all applicable laws and regulations. There is no target range of for indirect investment in derivatives at the Fund level.
 

In general terms, a derivative investment is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate, index, commodity or currency. Options, futures, interest rate swaps, structured notes, mortgage-related securities and forward contracts are examples of derivatives that some of the Underlying Funds could use.
 
If the issuer of the derivative does not pay the amount due, an Underlying Fund may lose money on the investment. Also, the underlying security or investment on which the derivative is based, and the derivative itself, might not perform the way the Manager expected it to perform. If that happens, an Underlying Fund's share price could fall and it may realize less income than expected. Some derivatives may be illiquid, making it difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable price. Using derivatives can increase the volatility of an Underlying Fund’s share price.

·     

Hedging. The Fund and some of the Underlying Funds can hedge using various strategies, including by buying and selling futures contracts, put and call options, and forward contracts. The Fund and the Underlying Funds are not required to hedge to seek its objectives. The Statement of Additional Information contains more detailed information about these instruments and limits on their use by the Fund and some of the Underlying Funds.


The Fund and some of the Underlying Funds could hedge for a number of purposes. They might do so to try to manage their exposure to the possibility that the prices of their portfolio securities may decline, or to establish a position in the securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing individual securities. The Fund and some of the Underlying Funds might do so to try to manage exposure to changing interest rates. Forward contracts can be used to try to manage foreign currency risks on a Fund’s foreign investments.

Options trading involves the payment of premiums and has special tax effects on a Fund. There are also special risks in particular hedging strategies. In writing a put, there is a risk that a Fund may be required to buy the underlying security at a disadvantageous price. If the Manager used a hedging strategy at the wrong time or judged market conditions incorrectly, the strategy could reduce a Fund’s return. A Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its futures and options positions are not correlated with its other investments or if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market.

Futures and Options. The Fund and the Underlying Funds may use futures contracts and put and call options to attempt to increase investment return, and to manage exposure to changing interest rates, commodity prices, securities prices, and other economic variables. Futures and options may be considered derivative investments.
 
Certain Underlying Funds can purchase and sell commodity futures contracts, forward contracts, options on futures contracts and options and futures on commodity indices. Certain Underlying Funds can also buy and sell other types of futures contracts and options relating to them.

Buying and Selling Put and Call Options. A call option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to purchase an underlying asset at a specified price. A put option gives the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to sell an underlying asset at a specified price. Selling a put or a call option obligates the seller to respectively buy or sell an underlying asset at a specified price if the option is exercised. Certain Underlying Funds may buy and sell exchange-traded and over-the-counter options.

Certain Underlying Funds may sell (“write”) calls if they are “covered.” That means the Underlying Fund already owns the securities that are subject to the call. For other calls, an Underlying Fund must segregate liquid assets to cover its potential obligation under the call. For certain Underlying Funds, there is no limit on the amount of its total assets that may be subject to “covered” calls. Certain Underlying Funds may also sell puts. In doing so, an Underlying Fund must segregate liquid assets to cover its obligations under the put. No more than 50% of any Underlying Fund's total assets may be subject to puts that it sells.
 

Futures Contracts. A commodity futures contract obligates the seller to deliver at a specified date a specified quantity of a commodity at a specified price. In practice, only a very small percentage of all futures contracts result in actual delivery of the underlying commodity. At the maturity of a futures contract, the Fund and an Underlying Fund may either accept or make delivery of the asset specified in the contract, or at or prior to maturity enter into a closing transaction involving the purchase or sale of an offsetting contract. Closing transactions with respect to futures contracts are effected on a commodities exchange; a clearing corporation associated with the exchange assumes responsibility for closing out such contracts.

Forward Contracts. Certain Underlying Funds may invest in forward contracts to buy or sell foreign currency for future delivery at a fixed price. An Underlying Fund may use them to try to
“lock in” the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency that the Underlying Fund has purchased or sold, or to protect against possible losses from changes in the relative value of the U.S. dollar and a foreign currency. Certain Underlying Funds may also use “cross hedging,” a technique that seeks to hedge against changes in currencies other than the currency in which a security is denominated. The use of forward contracts may reduce the gain on an investment that would otherwise result from a change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and the foreign currency in which the investment is denominated or may not fully offset a loss resulting from the change in the relative value.

Swap Transactions. Swap transactions are privately negotiated agreements between an Underlying Fund and a counterparty to exchange or swap investment cash flows or assets at specified intervals in the future. The obligations may extend beyond one year.
 
There is no central exchange or market for swap transactions and therefore they are less liquid investments than exchange-traded instruments. If an Underlying Fund were to sell a swap it owned to a third party, the Underlying Fund would still remain primarily liable on the obligations underlying the swap contract. Additionally, the Underlying Fund would bear the risk that the counterparty might default under a swap agreement.

Certain Underlying Funds may enter into credit default swaps, both (i) directly and (ii) indirectly in the form of a swap embedded within a structured security to protect against the risk that a debt security will default. An Underlying Fund pays a fee to enter into the trade and receives a fixed payment during the life of the swap. If there is a credit event (for example, the security fails to timely pay interest or principal), the Underlying Fund either delivers the defaulted bond (if the Underlying Fund has taken the short position in the credit default swap, also known as “buying credit protection”) or pays the par amount of the defaulted bond (if the Underlying Fund had taken the long position in the credit default swap, also know as “selling credit protection”). Risks of credit default swaps include the cost of paying for credit protection if there are no credit events, and adverse pricing when purchasing bonds to satisfy its delivery obligation where the Underlying Fund took a short position in the swap and there has been a credit event.

Certain Underlying Funds can engage in total return swaps. A total return swap gives an Underlying Fund the right to receive the appreciation in value of an asset in return for paying a fee to the counterparty. The fee paid by the Underlying Fund will typically be determined by multiplying the face value of the swap agreement by an agreed-upon interest rate. If the asset declines in value over the term of the swap, the Underlying Fund would also be required to pay the dollar value of the that decline to the counterparty.
 
The applicable Underlying Funds intend to invest in swap transactions only if they are excluded from regulation by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission under the Commodity Exchange Act and the rules thereunder.

Risks of Leverage. Certain derivatives that some Underlying Funds may buy involve a degree of leverage. Economic leverage occurs when an investor has the right to a return on an investment that exceeds the return that the investor would be expected to receive based on the amount contributed to the investment. Economically leveraged investments can increase the gain or the loss associated with changes in the value of an underlying economic variable. Underlying Funds have limits on the leverage ratio of each investment they can buy as well as on their overall portfolio.

Repurchase Agreements. One of the Underlying Funds, Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund LLC can enter into repurchase agreements for investment purposes. They also may be used for cash management purposes or in swap transactions for liquidity. In a repurchase transaction, an Underlying Fund buys a security and simultaneously sells it to the seller for delivery at a future date. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized. However, if the seller fails to pay the resale price on the delivery date, the Underlying Fund may incur costs in disposing of the collateral and may experience losses if there is any delay in its ability to do so. If the default on the part of the seller is due to its bankruptcy, the Underlying Fund’s ability to liquidate the collateral may be delayed or limited.

Investments By “Funds of Funds.” Class Y shares of certain Underlying Funds may also be offered as an investment to other Oppenheimer funds that act as “funds of funds.” The Boards of Directors or Trustees of those Underlying Funds have approved making each Underlying Fund’s shares available as an investment to the Fund and to such other funds of funds, which may invest significant portions of their assets in shares of the Underlying Funds, as described in their respective prospectuses. The Fund and other funds of funds, individually and/or collectively, may own significant amounts of those Underlying Fund’s shares from time to time. Funds of funds typically use asset allocation strategies under which they may increase or reduce the amount of their investment in the Underlying Fund frequently, which may occur on a daily basis under volatile market conditions. Depending on a number of factors, such as the flows of cash into and from an Underlying Fund as a result of the activity of other investors and the Underlying Fund’s then-current liquidity, those purchases and redemptions of an Underlying Fund’s shares by the Fund and/or such other funds of funds could require the Underlying Fund to purchase or sell portfolio securities, increasing its transaction costs and possibly reduce its performance, if the size of those purchases and redemptions were significant relative to the size of the Underlying Fund.

Industry and Sector Focus. At times, some of the Underlying Funds may increase the relative emphasis of their investments in a particular industry, group of industries or sector. Securities of issuers in a particular industry or sector might be affected by changes in economic conditions or by changes in government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others. If an Underlying Fund has a greater emphasis on investments in a particular industry or sector, its share value may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector to a greater extent than the share value of funds without such an emphasis.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. To seek their objectives, the Underlying Funds may also use certain of the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Manager of an Underlying Fund might not always use all of the strategies described below. These investments and techniques have their own risks, although some are designed to help reduce overall investment or market risks.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments of an Underlying Fund may be illiquid if they do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. Restricted securities may have terms that limit their resale to other investors or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they may be sold publicly. Neither the Fund nor the Underlying Funds that can invest in illiquid or restricted securities will invest more than 15% of net assets in such securities. Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be subject to that limit. The Manager monitors Underlying Funds’ holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. Some of the Underlying Funds may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. Some of the Underlying Funds have entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“Goldman Sachs”) for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Underlying Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Underlying Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower.

The Underlying Fund’s portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Underlying Fund’s securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations.

Purchases & Sales by Other Funds. An Underlying Fund may have investment policies similar to those of another Underlying Fund and/or other funds advised by the Manager. If one of those other funds purchases or sells a particular security at the same time that the Underlying Fund is purchasing or selling it, such purchases or sales could affect the supply or price of the security. The simultaneous purchase of a security by one Underlying Fund and its sale by another Underlying Fund could also increase the trading costs borne indirectly by the Fund.

Measurement of Investment Restrictions. Investment restrictions, such as a required minimum or maximum investment in a particular type of security, are measured at the time the Fund or Underlying Fund purchases a security. The status, market value, maturity, credit quality, or other characteristics of the Fund’s or Underlying Fund’s securities may change after they are purchased, and this may cause the amount of the Fund’s or Underlying Fund’s assets invested in such securities to exceed the stated maximum restriction or fall below the stated minimum restriction. If this occurs, it would not be considered a violation of the investment restriction.
 

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund and the Underlying Funds may invest up to 100% of their assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund’s or the Underlying Funds’ principal investment strategies. Generally the Fund or the Underlying Funds would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in types of money market instruments described above or in short-term U.S. government securities. The Fund or an Underlying Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund portfolio securities or to meet anticipated redemption of Fund shares. To the extent that the Fund or an Underlying Fund invests in these securities, it might not achieve its investment objective.
 

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund and the Underlying Funds is known as “portfolio turnover.” It is not anticipated that the Fund will have a high portfolio turnover rate, however, the Underlying Funds may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve their objectives, and may have a high portfolio turnover rate (for example, over 100%). If the Fund or Underlying Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it must generally pay those gains out to shareholders, increasing their taxable distributions. Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Fund (and may reduce performance). However, most of the Fund’s portfolio transactions should involve trades in the Underlying Funds that do not entail brokerage commissions.
 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS. The Fund’s portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to shareholders of the Fund within 60 days after the close of the period for which such report is being made. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statement of Investments on Form N-Q, which is filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 60 days after the close of the first and third fiscal quarters. These required filings are publicly available at the Securities and Exchange Commission and on its EDGAR filing website. Therefore, portfolio holdings of the Fund are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the close of the Fund’s fiscal quarters. The same policies apply to the holdings of each of the Underlying Funds.

A description of the Fund’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio securities is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. The Manager chooses the Fund’s investments and handles its day-to-day business. The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the policies established by the Trust’s Board of Trustees, under an investment advisory agreement that states the Manager’s responsibilities with respect to the Fund. The advisory agreement also describes the expenses that the Fund is responsible for paying to conduct its business.

The Manager has been an investment adviser since January 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary managed funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

Advisory Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee at an annual rate of 0.50% per annum of the average annual net assets of the Fund reduced by the amount of advisory fees paid to the Manager by the Underlying Funds with respect to the Fund’s investments in those funds. The Manager will also waive fees in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. However, the management fee shall not be reduced below zero.

The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund for certain expenses so that the Total Annual Operating Expenses, (the aggregate amount of direct (Fund level) and indirect (Underlying Fund level) expenses), will not exceed the following annual rates:

                                     Class A     Class B     Class C     Class N     Class Y

Fixed Income Active

Allocation Fund              1.10%       1.85%       1.85%       1.35%        N/A

The limitation will be applied after giving effect to any reimbursements by the Distributor of 12b-1 fees paid by the Fund with respect to investments in Class A shares of any Underlying Funds that do not offer Class Y shares. The expense limitations do not include extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business and the Manager is not required to waive or reimburse Fund expenses in excess of direct management fees combined with the indirect management fees earned from investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund and the Underlying Funds.
 
Because the 0.50% direct management fee of the Fund is reduced by the amount of the management fees paid by the Underlying Funds, any decrease in those funds’ management fees would increase the direct management fee of the Fund by the same amount. Therefore, the shareholders of the Fund would not receive any benefit from management fee breakpoints or other reductions of the management fees of an Underlying Fund.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees’ approval of the Fund’s investment advisory contract is available in the Fund’s Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended January 31, 2009.
 

Portfolio Manager. The Fund is managed by Arthur Steinmetz, who is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investments.

Mr. Steinmetz has been a Vice President and portfolio manager of the Fund since its inception. He has been a Senior Vice President of the Manager since March 1993 and of HarbourView Asset Management Corporation since March 2000. Mr. Steinmetz is also a portfolio manager and an officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio manager’s compensation, other accounts he manages and his ownership of Fund shares.

Information on the portfolio managers of the Underlying Funds is available in the Portfolio Manager section of the respective prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of each Underlying Fund.
 

about your account

How to Buy Shares

Where Can You Buy Fund Shares? Oppenheimer funds may be purchased either directly or through a variety of “financial intermediaries” that offer Fund shares to their clients. Financial intermediaries include securities dealers, financial advisors, brokers, banks, trust companies, insurance companies and the sponsors of fund “supermarkets,” fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs or college and retirement savings programs.
 

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DO THE FUNDS OFFER? The Fund offer investors five different classes of shares. The different classes of shares represent investments in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes are subject to different expenses and will likely have different share prices. When you buy shares, be sure to specify the class of shares. If you do not choose a class, your investment will be made in Class A shares.

       Class A Shares. If you buy Class A shares, you pay an initial sales charge (on investments up to $1 million for regular accounts or lesser amounts for certain retirement plans). The amount of that sales charge will vary depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates are listed in “How Can You Buy Class A Shares?” below.

       Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within 6 years of buying them, you will normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge. That contingent deferred sales charge varies depending on how long you own your shares, as described in “How Can You Buy Class B Shares?” below.

       Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within 12 months of buying them, you will normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described in “How Can You Buy Class C Shares?” below.

       Class N Shares. If you buy Class N shares (available only through certain retirement plans), you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within 18 months of the retirement plan’s first purchase of Class N shares, you may pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described in “How Can You Buy Class N Shares?” below.

      Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional investors that have a special agreement with the Distributor and to present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their eligible family members) of the Fund, the Manager, its affiliates, its parent company and the subsidiaries of its parent company, and retirement plans established for the benefit of such individuals.

Certain sales charge waivers may apply to purchases or redemptions of Class A, Class B, Class C, or Class N shares. More information about those waivers is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information, or by clicking on the hyperlink “Sales Charges & Breakpoints” under the heading “Fund Information” on the OppenheimerFunds website at “www.oppenheimerfunds.com.”

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT YOU MUST INVEST? In most cases, you can buy Fund shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional investments at any time with as little as $50. The minimum additional investment requirement does not apply to reinvested dividends from the Fund or from other Oppenheimer funds or to omnibus account purchases. A $25 minimum applies to additional investments through an Asset Builder Plan, an Automatic Exchange Plan or a government allotment plan established before November 1, 2002. Reduced initial minimums are available in certain circumstances, including under the following investment plans:

·     

For most types of retirement accounts that OppenheimerFunds offers, the minimum initial investment is $500.


·     

For certain retirement accounts that have automatic investments through salary deduction plans, there is no minimum initial investment.

·     

For an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Exchange Plan or a government allotment plan, the minimum initial investment is $500.

·     

For certain fee-based programs that have an agreement with the Distributor, a minimum initial investment of $250 applies.

Minimum Account Balance. A $12 annual “minimum balance fee” is assessed on Fund accounts with a value of less than $500. The fee is automatically deducted from each applicable Fund account annually in September. See the Statement of Additional Information for information about the circumstances under which this fee will not be assessed. Small accounts may be involuntarily redeemed by the Fund if the value has fallen below $500 for reasons other than a decline in the market value of the shares.
 

Choosing a Share Class

CHOOSING A SHARE CLASS. Once you decide that the Fund is an appropriate investment for you, deciding which class of shares is best suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should discuss with your financial adviser. The Fund’s operating costs that apply to a share class and the effect of the different types of sales charges on your investment will affect your investment results over time. For example, the net asset value and the dividends of Class B, Class C, and Class N shares will be reduced by additional expenses borne by those classes such as the asset-based sales charge.
 
Two of the factors to consider are how much you plan to invest and, while future financial needs cannot be predicted with certainty, how long you plan to hold your investment. For example, with larger purchases that qualify for a reduced initial sales charge on Class A shares, the effect of paying an initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares may be less over time than the effect of the asset-based sales charges on Class B, Class C, or Class N shares. For retirement plans that qualify to purchase Class N shares, Class N will generally be the most advantageous share class. If your goals and objectives change over time and you plan to purchase additional shares, you should re-evaluate each of the factors to see if you should consider a different class of shares.
 

The discussion below is not intended to be investment advice or a recommendation, because each investor’s financial considerations are different. The discussion below assumes that you will purchase only one class of shares and not a combination of shares of different classes. These examples are based on approximations of the effects of current sales charges and expenses projected over time, and do not detail all of the considerations in selecting a class of shares. You should analyze your options carefully with your financial adviser before making that choice.
 

·     

Investing for the Shorter Term. While the Fund is meant to be a long-term investment, if you have a relatively short-term investment horizon (that is, if you do not plan to hold your shares for six years or more), you should consider investing in Class C shares. That is because of the effect of the initial sales charge on Class A shares or the Class B contingent deferred sales charge if you redeem within six years.


·     

Investing for the Longer Term. If you are investing less than $100,000 for the longer term and do not expect to need access to your money for six years or more, Class B shares may be appropriate.


·     

Amount of Your Investment. Your choice will also depend on how much you plan to invest. For shorter-term investments of less than $100,000, Class C shares might be the appropriate choice because there is no initial sales charge on Class C shares, and the contingent deferred sales charge does not apply to shares you redeem after holding them for one year or more. However, if you plan to invest more than $100,000, and as your investment horizon increases toward six years, Class C shares might not be as advantageous as Class A shares. That is because over time the ongoing asset-based sales charge on Class C shares will have a greater impact on your account than the reduced front-end sales charge available for Class A share purchases of $100,000 or more. If you invest $1 million or more, in most cases Class A shares will be the most advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold your shares.


The Distributor normally will not accept purchase orders from a single investor for more than $100,000 of Class B shares or for $1 million or more of Class C shares. Dealers or other financial intermediaries purchasing shares for their customers in omnibus accounts are responsible for determining the suitability of a particular share class for an investor.
 

Are There Differences in Account Features That Matter to You? Some account features may not be available for all share classes. Other features may not be advisable because of the effect of the contingent deferred sales charge. Therefore, you should carefully review how you plan to use your investment account before deciding which class of shares to buy.
 

How Do Share Classes Affect Payments to Your Financial Intermediary? The Class B, Class C, and Class N contingent deferred sales charges and asset-based sales charges have the same purpose as the front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge on Class A shares: to compensate the Distributor for concessions and expenses it pays to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries for selling Fund shares. Those financial intermediaries may receive different compensation for selling different classes of shares. The Manager or Distributor may also pay dealers or other financial intermediaries additional amounts from their own resources based on the value of Fund shares held by the intermediary for its own account or held for its customers’ accounts. For more information about those payments, see “Payments to Financial Intermediaries and Service Providers” below.
 

ABOUT CLASS A SHARES. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value of the shares (described below) plus, in most cases, an initial sales charge. The Fund receives the amount of your investment, minus the sales charge, to invest for your account. In some cases, Class A purchases may qualify for a reduced sales charge or a sales charge waiver, as described below or in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
The Class A sales charge rate varies depending on the amount of your purchase. A portion or all of the sales charge may be retained by the Distributor or paid to your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary as a concession. The current sales charge rates and concessions paid are shown in the table below. There is no initial sales charge on Class A purchases of $1 million or more, but a contingent deferred sales charge (described below) may apply.

Reduced Class A Sales Charges. Under a “Right of Accumulation” or a “Letter of Intent” you may be eligible to buy Class A shares of the Fund at the reduced sales charge rates that would apply to a larger purchase. The Fund reserves the right to modify or to cease offering these programs at any time.
 
 

•     Right of Accumulation. To qualify for the reduced Class A sales charge that would apply to a larger purchase than you are currently making, you can add the value of shares that you and your spouse currently own, and other purchases you are currently making, to the value of your Class A share purchase of the Fund. You may count Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds and Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class H units in adviser sold Section 529 plans, for which the Manager or the Distributor serves as the “Program Manager” or “Program Distributor.” The Distributor or the financial intermediary through which you are buying shares will determine the value of the shares you currently own based on the greater of their current offering price or the amount you paid for the shares. For purposes of calculating that value, the Distributor will only take into consideration the value of shares owned as of December 31, 2007 and any shares purchased subsequently. The value of any shares that you have redeemed and the value of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which you have not paid a sales charge will not be counted for this purpose.

In totaling your holdings, you may count shares held in:
 

·     

your individual accounts (including IRAs, 403(b) plans and eligible 529 plans),


·     

your joint accounts with your spouse,

·     

accounts you or your spouse hold as trustees or custodians on behalf of your children who are minors.

A fiduciary can apply rights of accumulation to all shares purchased for a trust, estate or other fiduciary account that has multiple accounts (including employee benefit plans for the same employer and Single K plans for the benefit of a sole proprietor).
 
If you are buying shares directly from the Fund, you must inform the Distributor of your eligibility and holdings at the time of your purchase in order to qualify for the Right of Accumulation. If you are buying shares through a financial intermediary you must notify the intermediary of your eligibility for the Right of Accumulation at the time of your purchase.
 
To count eligible shares held in accounts at other firms, you may be requested to provide the Distributor or your current financial intermediary with a copy of account statements showing your current holdings of the Fund, other eligible Oppenheimer funds or qualifying 529 plans. Shares purchased under a Letter of Intent may also qualify as eligible holdings under a Right of Accumulation.

•     Letter of Intent. You may also qualify for reduced Class A sales charges by submitting a Letter of Intent to the Distributor. A Letter of Intent is a written statement of your intention to purchase a specified value of Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds or Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G or Class H unit purchases in adviser sold Section 529 plans, for which the Manager or Distributor serves as the Program Manager or Program Distributor, over a 13-month period. The total amount of your intended purchases will determine the reduced sales charge rate that will apply to your Class A share purchases during that period. You must notify the Distributor or your financial intermediary of any qualifying 529 plan purchases or purchases through other financial intermediaries.

Purchases of Class N or Class Y shares, purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, purchases of Class A shares with redemption proceeds under the “reinvestment privilege” described below, and purchases of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which a sales charge has not been paid do not count as “qualified shares” for satisfying the terms of a Letter of Intent.
 
Submitting a Letter of Intent does not obligate you to purchase the specified amount of shares. If you do not complete the anticipated purchases, you will be charged the difference between the sales charge that you paid and the sales charge that would apply to the actual value of shares you purchased. A certain portion of your shares will be held in escrow by the Fund’s Transfer Agent for this purpose. Please refer to “How to Buy Shares – Letters of Intent” in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information for more information about Letters of Intent and these escrow provisions. You may also be able to apply the Right of Accumulation to purchases you make under a Letter of Intent.

Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. There is no initial sales charge on Class A purchases of shares of one or more of the Oppenheimer funds totaling $1 million or more. However, those Class A shares may be subject to a 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge if they are redeemed within an 18 month “holding period” measured from the beginning of the calendar month in which they were purchased (except for shares purchased in certain retirement plans, as described below). That sales charge will be calculated on the lesser of the original net asset value of the redeemed shares or the aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption.
 
The Class A contingent deferred sales charge does not apply to shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions and will not exceed the aggregate amount of the concessions the Distributor pays on all of your purchases of Class A shares, of all Oppenheimer funds, that are subject to the contingent deferred sales charge.
 
The Distributor pays concessions from its own resources equal to 1.0% of Class A purchases of $1 million or more (other than purchases by certain retirement plans). The concession will not be paid on shares purchased by exchange or shares that were previously subject to a front-end sales charge and concession.
 

Class A Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans. There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of the Fund by retirement plans that have $1 million or more in plan assets or by certain retirement plans or platforms offered through financial intermediaries or other service providers.
 
In addition, there is no contingent deferred sales charge on redemptions of certain Class A retirement plan shares offered through financial intermediaries or other service providers. There is no contingent deferred sales charge on redemptions of Class A group retirement plan shares purchased after March 1, 2007 except for shares of certain group retirement plans that were established prior to March 1, 2007 (“grandfathered retirement plans”). Shares purchased in grandfathered retirement plans are subject to the contingent deferred sales charge if they are redeemed within 18 months after purchase.
 

The Distributor does not pay a concession on Class A retirement plan purchases after March 1, 2007 except on purchases by grandfathered retirement plans and plans that have $5 million or more in plan assets. The concession for grandfathered retirement plan purchases after March 1, 2007 is 0.25%. For purchases of Class A shares by retirement plans that have $5 million or more in plan assets (within the first six months from the time the account was established), the Distributor may pay financial intermediaries concessions equal to 0.25% of the purchase price from its own resources at the time of sale. Those payments are subject to certain exceptions described in “Retirement Plans” in the Statement of Additional Information.
 

ABOUT CLASS B SHARES. Class B shares are sold at net asset value per share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class B shares are redeemed within six years from the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. Class B shares are also subject to an asset-based sales charge that is calculated daily based on an annual rate of 0.75%. The Class B contingent deferred sales charge is paid to compensate the Distributor for its expenses of providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class B shares.
 
     The amount of the Class B contingent deferred sales charge will depend on the number of years since you invested, according to the following schedule:

Years Since Beginning of Month in Which Purchase Order was Accepted

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on Redemptions in That Year

(As % of Amount Subject to Charge)

0 – 1

5.0%

1 – 2

4.0%

2 – 3

3.0%

3 – 4

3.0%

4 – 5

2.0%

5 – 6

1.0%

More than 6

None

In the table, a “year” is a 12-month period. In applying the contingent deferred sales charge, all purchases are considered to have been made on the first regular business day of the month in which the purchase was made.

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares six years (72 months) after you purchase them. This conversion feature relieves Class B asset-based sales charge, however, the shares will be subject to the ongoing Class A fees and expenses. The conversion is based on the relative net asset value of the two classes, and no sales load or other charge is imposed. When any Class B shares that you hold convert to Class A shares, all other Class B shares that were acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions on the converted shares will also convert. For further information on the conversion feature and its tax implications, see “Class B Conversion” in the Statement of Additional Information.

ABOUT CLASS C SHARES. Class C shares are sold at net asset value per share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class C shares are redeemed within a holding period of 12 months from the beginning of the calendar month in which they were purchased, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% may be deducted from the redemption proceeds. Class C shares are also subject to an asset-based sales charge that is calculated daily based on an annual rate of 0.75%. The Class C contingent deferred sales charge is paid to compensate the Distributor for its expenses of providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class C shares.
 

ABOUT CLASS N SHARES. Class N shares are offered to retirement plans (including IRAs and 403(b) plans) that purchase $500,000 or more of Oppenheimer funds Class N shares or to group retirement plans (which do not include IRAs and 403(b) plans) held in omnibus accounts that have assets of $500,000 or more or 100 or more eligible participants. See “Availability of Class N shares” in the Statement of Additional Information for other circumstances where Class N shares are available for purchase. Class N shares are sold at net asset value without an initial sales charge. Class N shares are subject to an asset-based sales charge that is calculated daily based on an annual rate of 0.25%. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% may be imposed upon the redemption of Class N shares, if:

The group retirement plan is terminated or Class N shares of all Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an investment option of the plan, and Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months after the plan’s first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund, or

·     

Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months after an IRA or 403(b) plan’s first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund.


·     

Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on plan participant accounts. For more information about buying and selling shares through a retirement plan, see the section “Investment Plans and Services - Retirement Plans” below.


ABOUT CLASS Y SHARES. Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share without a sales charge directly to institutional investors that have special agreements with the Distributor for this purpose. They may include insurance companies, registered investment companies, employee benefit plans and Section 529 plans, among others.
 

     An institutional investor that buys Class Y shares for its customers’ accounts may impose charges on those accounts. The procedures for buying, selling, exchanging and transferring a Fund’s other classes of shares (other than the time those orders must be received by the Distributor or Transfer Agent at their Colorado office) and some of the special account features available to investors buying those other classes of shares do not apply to Class Y shares. Instructions for buying, selling, exchanging or transferring Class Y shares must be submitted by the institutional investor, not by its customers for whose benefit the shares are held.
 
     Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their eligible family members) of the Fund, the Manager, its affiliates, its parent company and the subsidiaries of its parent company and retirement plans established for the benefit of such individuals, are also permitted to purchase Class Y shares of the Fund.

The Price of Fund Shares

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Shares may be purchased at their offering price which is the net asset value per share plus any initial sales charge that applies. Shares are redeemed at their net asset value per share less any contingent deferred sales charge that applies. The net asset value that applies to a purchase or redemption order is the next one calculated after the Distributor receives the order, in proper form as described in this prospectus, or after any agent appointed by the Distributor receives the order in proper form as described in this prospectus. Your financial intermediary can provide you with more information regarding the time you must submit your purchase order and whether the intermediary is an authorized agent for the receipt of purchase and redemption orders.

Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a “regular business day”). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, but may close earlier on some days.
 
The Fund determines the net assets of each class of shares by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of the Fund’s liabilities attributable to the share class from the market value of the Fund’s securities and other assets attributable to the share class. The Fund’s “other assets” might include, for example, cash and interest or dividends from its portfolio securities that have been accrued but not yet collected. The Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds are based on the Underlying Funds’ net asset values on that day.
 
The Underlying Funds also calculate the net asset value of each class of their shares as of the close of the NYSE, on each day the it is open for trading, by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of an Underlying Fund’s liabilities attributable to each share class from the market value of its securities and other assets attributable to that share class. The Underlying Funds’ securities are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.
 
The net asset value per share for each share class of the Fund and the Underlying Funds is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.
 

Fair Value Pricing. If market quotations are not readily available or (in the judgment of an Underlying Fund’s manager) do not accurately reflect the fair value of a security held by one of the Underlying Funds, or if after the close of the principal market on which a security held by an Underlying Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Underlying Fund’s net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Underlying Fund’s manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Underlying Fund’s Board believes would more accurately reflect the security’s fair value.

In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Underlying Funds’ manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities. It seeks to identify significant events that it believes, in good faith, will affect the market prices of the securities held by a particular Underlying Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster).
 
The Underlying Funds’ Boards have adopted valuation procedures and have delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to “Valuation Committees.” Those determinations may include consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security, developments in the markets and their performance, and current valuations of foreign or U.S. indices. Fair value determinations by an Underlying Fund’s manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Underlying Fund’s Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.
 

The Underlying Funds’ use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that an Underlying Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the same time at which it determines its net asset value per share.
 

Pricing Foreign Securities. The Underlying Funds may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges. Because many foreign markets close hours before the Underlying Funds values its their foreign portfolio holdings, significant events, including broad market movements, may occur during that time that could potentially affect the values of foreign securities held by the an Underlying Fund.
 
The Underlying Fund’s Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets. The Underlying Fund’s fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be “fair valued” to take those factors into account.
 
Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Underlying Funds’ foreign investments may change on days when the Fund cannot buy or redeem shares of the Underlying Funds and when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.
 

Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. If you redeem shares during their applicable contingent deferred sales charge holding period, the contingent deferred sales charge generally will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. In some circumstances you may be eligible for one of the waivers described in “Sales Charge Waivers” below and in the “Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers” Appendix to the Statement of Additional Information. You must advise the Transfer Agent or your financial intermediary of your eligibility for a waiver when you place your redemption request.
 
A contingent deferred sales charge will be based on the net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption or the original net asset value, whichever is lower. A contingent deferred sales charge is not imposed on:
 

•     any increase in net asset value over the initial purchase price,

•     shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, or

•     shares eligible for a sales charge waiver (see “Sales Charge Waivers” below).

The Fund redeems shares in the following order:
 

•     shares acquired by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions,

•     other shares that are not subject to the contingent deferred sales charge, and

•     shares held the longest during the holding period.

You are not charged a contingent deferred sales charge when you exchange shares of the Fund for shares of other Oppenheimer funds. However, if you exchange your shares within the applicable holding period, your original holding period will carry over to the shares you acquire, even if the new fund has a different holding period.
 

SALES CHARGE WAIVERS. The Fund and the Distributor offer the following opportunities to purchase shares without front-end or contingent deferred sales charges. The Fund reserves the right to amend or discontinue these programs at any time without prior notice.
 

·     

Dividend Reinvestment. Dividends or capital gains distributions may be reinvested in shares of the Fund, or any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of the Fund may be exchanged, without a sales charge.


·     

Exchanges of Shares. There is no sales charge on exchanges of shares except for exchanges of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which you have not paid a sales charge.

·     

Reinvestment Privilege. There is no sales charge on reinvesting the proceeds from redemptions of Class A shares or Class B shares that occurred within the previous six months if you paid an initial or contingent deferred sales charge on the redeemed shares. This reinvestment privilege does not apply to reinvestment purchases made through automatic investment options. You must advise the Distributor, the Transfer Agent or your financial intermediary that you qualify for the waiver at the time you submit your purchase order.

In addition, the “Sales Charge Waivers” Appendix to the Statement of Additional Information provides detailed information about certain other initial sales charge and contingent deferred sales charge waivers and arrangements. A description of those sales charge waivers and arrangements is available for viewing on the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com (follow the hyperlink “Sales Charges & Breakpoints,” under the heading “Fund Information”) and may also be ordered by calling 1.800.225.5677. You must advise the Distributor, the Transfer Agent or your financial intermediary that you qualify for one of those waivers at the time you submit your purchase order or redemption request.
 

How to Buy, Sell and Exchange Shares

HOW TO BUY SHARES. You can buy shares in several ways. The Distributor has appointed certain financial intermediaries, including brokers, dealers and others, as servicing agents to accept purchase and redemption orders. The Distributor or servicing agent must receive your order, in proper form, by the close of the NYSE for you to receive that day’s offering price. If your order is received on a day when the NYSE is closed or after it has closed, the order will receive the next offering price that is determined. To be in proper form, your purchase order must comply with the procedures described below. The Distributor, in its sole discretion, may reject any purchase order for the Fund’s shares.

Buying Shares Through a Financial Intermediary. You can buy shares through any servicing agent (a broker, dealer, or other financial intermediary) that has a sales agreement with the Distributor. Your servicing agent will place your order with the Distributor on your behalf. A servicing agent may charge a processing fee for that service. Your account information will be shared with the financial intermediary designated as the dealer of record for the account.
 

Buying Shares Through the Distributor. We recommend that you discuss your investment with a financial adviser before you make a purchase to be sure that the Fund is appropriate for you. If you want to purchase shares directly from the Distributor, complete an OppenheimerFunds new account application and mail it with a check payable in U.S. dollars to “OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc.” to the address on the back cover. If you do not list a dealer on your application, the Distributor is designated as the broker-dealer of record, but solely for the purpose of acting as your agent to purchase the shares and Class A shares are your only purchase option. Class B, Class C or Class N shares may not be purchased by a new investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating another registered broker-dealer. However, if a current investor no longer has a broker-dealer of record for an existing Class B, Class C or Class N account, the Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of record, but solely for the purpose of acting as your agent to purchase the shares. If you submit a purchase request to the Distributor without designating the Fund you wish to invest in, your investments will be made in Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. This policy does not apply to purchases by or for certain retirement plans or accounts. For more information regarding undesignated investments, please call the Transfer Agent at the number on the back cover of this prospectus.
 

·     

Involuntary Redemptions. In some circumstances, involuntary redemptions may be made to repay the Distributor for losses from the cancellation of share purchase orders.


Identification Requirements. Federal regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of birth (for a natural person), your residential street address or principal place of business, and your Social Security Number, Employer Identification Number or other government-issued identification when you open an account. Additional information may be required to open a corporate account or in certain other circumstances. The Fund or the Transfer Agent may use this information to verify your identity. The Fund may not be able to establish an account if the necessary information is not received. The Fund may also place limits on account transactions while it is in the process of verifying your identity. Additionally, if the Fund is unable to verify your identity after your account is established, the Fund may be required to redeem your shares and close your account.
 

Suspension of Share Offering. The offering of Fund shares may be suspended during any period in which the determination of net asset value is suspended, and may be suspended by the Board at any time the Board believes it is in the Fund’s best interest to do so.
 

HOW TO SELL SHARES. You can generally redeem (sell) some or all of your shares on any regular business day. You may redeem your shares by writing a letter, by wire, by telephone or on the internet. You can also set up an Automatic Withdrawal Plan to redeem shares on a regular basis. The redemption of Fund shares may be suspended under certain circumstances described in the Statement of Additional Information. If you have questions about any of these procedures, and especially if you are redeeming shares in a special situation, such as due to the death of the owner or from a retirement plan account, please call your financial intermediary or the Transfer Agent for assistance.
 

Redemption Price. Your shares will be redeemed at net asset value less any applicable sales charge or other fees. The net asset value used will be the next one calculated after your order is received, in proper form, by the Transfer Agent or your authorized financial intermediary. To be in proper form, your redemption order must comply with the procedures described below. The redemption price for shares will change from day-to-day because the value of the securities in the Fund’s portfolio and the Fund’s expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for each class of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.
 

Redemptions “In-Kind.” Shares may be “redeemed in-kind” under certain circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity in the Fund’s portfolio to meet redemptions). That means that the redemption proceeds will be paid in securities from the Fund’s portfolio. If the Fund redeems your shares in-kind, you may bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such securities are converted into cash.
 

Options for Receiving Redemption Proceeds

·     

By Check. The Fund will normally send redemption proceeds by check to the address on your account statement.


·     

By AccountLink. If you have linked your Fund account to your bank account with AccountLink (described below), you may have redemption proceeds transferred directly into your account. Normally the transfer to your bank is initiated on the bank business day after the redemption. You will not receive dividends on the proceeds of redeemed shares while they are waiting to be transferred.

·     

By Wire. You can arrange to have redemption proceeds sent by Federal Funds wire to an account at a bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve wire system. The redemption proceeds will normally be transmitted on the next bank business day after the shares are redeemed. You will not receive dividends on the proceeds of redeemed shares while they are waiting to be transmitted.

Payment Delays. Payment for redeemed shares is usually made within seven days after the Transfer Agent receives redemption instructions in proper form. For accounts registered in the name of a broker-dealer, payment will normally be forwarded to the broker-dealer within three business days. The Transfer Agent may delay processing redemption payments for recently purchased shares until the purchase payment has cleared. That delay may be as much as 10 days from the date the shares were purchased. That delay may be avoided if you purchase shares by Federal Funds wire or certified check. Under unusual circumstances, the right to redeem shares or the payment of redemption proceeds may be delayed or suspended as permitted under the Investment Company Act.
 

THE OPPENHEIMERFUNDS EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE. You can exchange all or part of your Fund shares for shares of the same class of other Oppenheimer funds that offer the exchange privilege. For example, you can exchange Class A shares of the Fund only for Class A shares of another fund. You can obtain a list of the Oppenheimer funds that are currently available for exchanges by calling a service representative at the telephone number on the back of this prospectus. The funds available for exchange can change from time to time. The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. You will receive 60 days’ notice of any material change in the exchange privilege unless applicable law allows otherwise.
 
The OppenheimerFunds exchange privilege affords investors the ability to switch their investments among Oppenheimer funds if their investment needs change. However, there are limits on that privilege. Frequent purchases, redemptions and exchanges of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager’s ability to manage the Fund’s investments efficiently, increase its transaction and administrative costs and/or affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, the aggregate dollar amount and the number and frequency of trades.
 
If large dollar amounts are involved in exchange or redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund’s brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund’s Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive exchanges or purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment and the ability to exchange shares as their investment needs change. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading.
 

Limitations on Frequent Exchanges

30-Day Hold. If a direct shareholder exchanges shares of another Oppenheimer fund account for shares of the Fund, his or her Fund account will be “blocked” from exchanges into any other fund for a period of 30 calendar days from the date of the exchange, subject to certain exceptions described below. Likewise, if a Fund shareholder exchanges Fund shares for shares of another eligible Oppenheimer fund, that fund account will be “blocked” from further exchanges for 30 calendar days. The block will apply to the full account balance and not just to the amount exchanged into the account. For example, if a shareholder exchanged $2,000 from one fund into another fund in which the shareholder already owned shares worth $10,000, then, following the exchange, the full account balance ($12,000 in this example) would be blocked from exchanges into another fund for a period of 30 calendar days. A shareholder whose account is registered on the Fund’s books showing the name, address and tax ID number of the beneficial owner is a “direct shareholder.”
 

Exceptions to 30-Day Hold
 

·     

Exchanges Into Money Market Funds. A direct shareholder will be permitted to exchange shares of a stock or bond fund for shares of an eligible money market fund any time, even if the shareholder has exchanged shares into the stock or bond fund during the prior 30 days. However, all of the shares held in that money market fund would then be blocked from further exchanges into another fund for 30 calendar days.


·     

Dividend Reinvestments and Class B Share Conversions. The reinvestment of dividends or distributions from one fund to purchase shares of another fund and the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares will not be considered exchanges for purposes of imposing the 30-day limit.

·     

Asset Allocation Programs. Investment programs by Oppenheimer “funds-of-funds” that entail rebalancing investments in underlying Oppenheimer funds will not be subject to these limits. However, third-party asset allocation and rebalancing programs will be subject to the 30-day limit described above. Asset allocation firms that want to exchange shares held in accounts on behalf of their customers must identify themselves to the Transfer Agent and execute an acknowledgement and agreement to abide by these policies with respect to their customers’ accounts. “On-demand” exchanges outside the parameters of portfolio rebalancing programs will also be subject to the 30-day limit.

·     

Automatic Exchange Plans. Accounts that receive exchange proceeds through automatic or systematic exchange plans that are established through the Transfer Agent will not be subject to the 30-day block as a result of those automatic or systematic exchanges but may be blocked from exchanges, under the 30-day limit, if they receive proceeds from other exchanges.

·     

Redemptions of Shares. These exchange policy limits do not apply to redemptions of shares. Shareholders are permitted to redeem their shares on any regular business day, subject to the terms of this prospectus.

Limitations on Exchanges in Omnibus Accounts. If you hold your Fund shares through a financial adviser or other firm such as a broker-dealer, a bank, an insurance company separate account, an investment adviser, an administrator or a trustee of a retirement plan that holds your shares in an account under its name (these are sometimes referred to as “omnibus” or “street name” accounts), that financial intermediary may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term or excessive trading. You should consult your financial intermediary to find out what trading restrictions, including limitations on exchanges, may apply. The Fund, the Distributor, the Manager and the Transfer Agent encourage those financial intermediaries to apply the Fund’s policies to their customers who invest indirectly in the Fund. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect excessive short-term trading activity in accounts maintained in “omnibus” or “street name” form where the underlying beneficial owners are not identified. The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor overall purchase and redemption activity in those accounts to seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the underlying owners. If evidence of possible excessive trading activity is observed by the Transfer Agent, the financial intermediary that is the registered owner will be asked to review the account activity, and to confirm to the Transfer Agent and the Fund that appropriate action has been taken to curtail any excessive trading activity.
 

Other Limitations on Exchanges. There are a number of other special conditions and limitations that apply to certain types of exchanges. Those conditions and circumstances are described in the section “How to Exchange Shares” in the Statement of Additional Information. For information about sales charges that may apply to exchanges of shares see the sections “Contingent Deferred Sales Charges” and “Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers” above.
 

Requirements for Exchanges of Shares. To exchange shares of the Fund, you must meet several conditions. The Fund may amend the following requirements at any time:
 

·     

Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of residence.


·     

The selected fund must offer the exchange privilege.

·     

You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the selected fund. Generally, exchanges may be made only between identically registered accounts, unless all account owners send written exchange instructions with a signature guarantee.

·     

Before exchanging into a fund, you should obtain its prospectus and should read it carefully.

Timing of Exchange Transactions. Exchanged shares are normally redeemed from one fund and the proceeds are reinvested in the fund selected for exchange on the same regular business day on which the Transfer Agent or its agent (such as a financial intermediary holding the investor’s shares in an “omnibus” or “street name” account) receives an exchange request that conforms to these policies. The request must be received by the close of the NYSE that day in order to receive that day’s net asset value on the exchanged shares. For requests received after the close of the NYSE the shares being exchanged will be valued at the next net asset value calculated after the request is received. The Transfer Agent may delay transmitting the proceeds from an exchange for up to five business days, however, if it determines, in its discretion, that an earlier transmittal of the redemption proceeds would be detrimental to either the fund from which shares are being exchanged or the fund into which the exchange is being made. The exchange proceeds will be invested in the new fund at the next net asset value calculated after the proceeds are received. In the event that a delay in the reinvestment of proceeds occurs, the Transfer Agent will notify you or your financial intermediary.
 

Taxes on Exchanges. For tax purposes, an exchange of shares of the Fund is considered a sale of those shares and a purchase of the shares of the fund into which you are exchanging. Therefore, an exchange may result in a capital gain or loss for tax purposes.
 

OTHER LIMITS ON SHARE TRANSACTIONS. The Fund may impose other limits on transactions that it believes would be disruptive and may refuse any purchase or exchange order.
 

·     

Right to Refuse Purchase and Exchange Orders. The Distributor and/or the Transfer Agent may refuse any purchase or exchange order in their discretion and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.


·     

Right to Terminate or Suspend Account Privileges. The Transfer Agent may, in its discretion, limit or terminate trading activity by any person, group or account that it believes would be disruptive, even if the activity has not exceeded the policies outlined in this prospectus. As part of the Transfer Agent’s procedures to detect and deter excessive trading activity, the Transfer Agent may review and consider the history of frequent trading activity in all accounts in the Oppenheimer funds known to be under common ownership or control. The Transfer Agent may send a written warning to a shareholder that the Transfer Agent believes may be engaging in disruptive or excessive trading activity; however, the Transfer Agent reserves the right to suspend or terminate the ability to purchase or exchange shares, with or without warning, for any account that the Transfer Agent determines, in the exercise of its discretion, has engaged in such trading activity.

HOW TO SUBMIT SHARE TRANSACTION REQUESTS. Share transactions may be requested by telephone or internet, in writing, through your financial adviser, or by establishing one of the Investor Services plans described below. Certain transactions may also be submitted by fax. Redemptions may also be made using the Fund’s checkwriting privilege.
 

Internet and Telephone Transaction Requests. Purchase, redemption and exchange requests may be submitted on the OppenheimerFunds internet website, www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Those requests may also be made by calling the telephone number on the back cover and either speaking to a service representative or accessing PhoneLink, the OppenheimerFunds automated telephone system that enables shareholders to perform certain account transactions automatically using a touch-tone phone.
 
You will need to obtain a user I.D. and password to execute transactions through PhoneLink or on the internet. Some internet and telephone transactions require the Oppenheimer AccountLink feature, described below, that links your Fund account with an account at a U.S. bank or other financial institution. The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning transactions.
 
The following policies apply to internet and telephone transactions:
 

·     

Purchases through AccountLink that are submitted through PhoneLink or on the internet are limited to $100,000.


·     

Purchases through AccountLink that are submitted by calling a service representative are limited to $250,000.

·     

Redemptions that are submitted by telephone or on the internet and request the proceeds to be paid by check, must be made payable to all owners of record of the shares and must be sent to the address on the account statement. Telephone or internet redemptions paid by check may not exceed $100,000 in any seven-day period. This service is not available within 15 days of changing the address on an account.

·     

Redemptions by telephone or on the internet that are sent to your bank account through AccountLink are not subject to any dollar limits.

·     

Exchanges submitted by telephone or on the internet may be made only between accounts that are registered with the same name(s) and address

·     

Shares for which share certificates have been issued may not be redeemed or exchanged by telephone or on the internet.

·     

Shares held in an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored qualified retirement plan account may not be redeemed or exchanged by telephone or on the internet.

The Transfer Agent has adopted procedures to confirm that telephone and internet instructions are genuine. Callers are required to provide service representatives with tax identification numbers and other account data and PhoneLink and internet users are required to use PIN numbers. The Transfer Agent will also send you written confirmations of share transactions. The Transfer Agent and the Fund will not be liable for losses or expenses that occur from telephone or internet instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
 
Telephone or internet transaction privileges may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Fund at any time. The Fund will provide you notice of such changes whenever it is required to do so by applicable law.
 

Purchases and Redemptions by Federal Funds Wire. Shares purchased through the Distributor may be paid for by Federal Funds wire. Redemption proceeds may also be transmitted by wire. The minimum wire purchase or redemption is $2,500. There is a $10 fee for each wire redemption request. Before sending a wire purchase, call the Distributor’s Wire Department at 1.800.225.5677 to notify the Distributor of the wire and to receive further instructions. To set up wire redemptions on your account or to arrange for a wire redemption, call the Transfer Agent at the telephone number on the back of this prospectus for information.
 

Written Transaction Requests. You can send purchase, exchange or redemption requests to the Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover. Your request must include:
 

·     

The Fund’s name;


·     

For existing accounts, the Fund account number (from your account statement);

·     

For redemptions, any special payment instructions;

·     

For redemptions or exchanges, the dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed or exchanged;

For redemptions or exchanges, any share certificates that have been issued (exchanges or redemptions of shares for which certificates have been issued cannot be processed until the Transfer Agent receives the certificates);

·     

For individuals, the names and signatures of all registered owners exactly as they appear in the account registration;

·     

For corporations, partnerships or other businesses or as a fiduciary, the name of the entity as it appears in the account registration and the names and titles of any individuals signing on its behalf; and

·     

Other documents requested by the Transfer Agent to assure that the person purchasing, redeeming or exchanging shares is properly identified and has proper authorization to carry out the transaction.

Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee. To protect you and the Fund from fraud, the following redemption requests must be in writing and must include a signature guarantee. A notary public seal will not be accepted for these requests (other situations might also require a signature guarantee):

·     

You wish to redeem more than $100,000 and receive a check;

The redemption check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the account statement;

·     

The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account statement;

·

a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,


·     

a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,

·     

a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or government securities, or

·     

a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities association or a clearing agency.

Fax Requests. You may send requests for certain types of account transactions to the Transfer Agent by fax. Please call the number on the back of this prospectus for information about which transactions may be handled this way. Transaction requests submitted by fax are subject to the same rules and restrictions as the written, telephone and internet requests described in this prospectus. However, requests that require a signature guarantee may not be submitted by fax.
 

Submitting Transaction Requests Through Your Financial Intermediary. You can submit purchase, redemption or exchange requests through any broker, dealer or other financial intermediary that has a special agreement with the Distributor. The broker, dealer or other intermediary will place the order with the Distributor on your behalf. A broker or dealer may charge a processing fee for that service. If your shares are held in the name of your financial intermediary, you must redeem them through that intermediary.
 
Intermediaries that perform account transactions for their clients by participating in “Networking” through the National Securities Clearing Corporation are responsible for obtaining their clients’ permission to perform those transactions, and are responsible to their clients who are shareholders of the Fund if the intermediary performs any transaction erroneously or improperly.
 

Client Account Exchanges by Financial Intermediaries. The Fund and the Transfer Agent permit brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries to submit exchange requests on behalf of their customers, unless that authority has been revoked. The Fund or the Transfer Agent may limit or refuse exchange requests submitted by such financial intermediaries if, in the Transfer Agent’s judgment, exercised in its discretion, the exchanges would be disruptive to any of the funds involved in the transaction.
 

INVESTMENT PLANS AND SERVICES

AccountLink. You can use our AccountLink feature to link your Fund account with an account at a U.S. bank or other financial institution that is an Automated Clearing House (ACH) member. AccountLink lets you:
 

·     

transmit funds electronically to purchase shares by internet, by telephone or automatically through an Asset Builder Plan. The purchase payment will be debited from your bank account.


·     

have the Transfer Agent send redemption proceeds or dividends and distributions directly to your bank account.

AccountLink privileges should be requested on your account application or on your broker-dealer’s settlement instructions if you buy your shares through a broker-dealer. For an established account, you can request AccountLink privileges by sending signature guaranteed instructions and proper documentation to the Transfer Agent. AccountLink privileges will apply to each shareholder listed in the registration on the account as well as to the financial intermediary’s representative of record unless and until the Transfer Agent terminates or receives written instructions terminating or changing those privileges. After you establish AccountLink for your account, any change you make to your bank account information must be made by signature-guaranteed instructions to the Transfer Agent signed by all shareholders on the account. Please call the Transfer Agent for more information.
 

Asset Builder Plan. Under an Asset Builder Plan, you may purchase shares of the Fund automatically. An Asset Builder Plan is available only if you have established AccountLink with a bank or other financial institution. Payments to purchase Fund shares will be debited from your linked account.
 
To establish an Asset Builder Plan at the time you initially purchase Fund shares, complete the “Asset Builder Plan” information on the account application. To add an Asset Builder Plan to an existing account, use the Asset Builder Enrollment Form. You may change the amount of your Asset Builder payment or you can terminate your automatic investments at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent requires a reasonable period (approximately 10 days) after receipt of your instructions to implement the requested changes. For more details, see the account application, the Asset Builder Enrollment Form and the Statement of Additional Information. Those documents are available by contacting the Distributor or may be downloaded from our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering Asset Builder Plans at any time without prior notice.
 

Automatic Redemption and Exchange Plans. The Fund has several plans that enable you to redeem shares automatically or exchange them for shares of another Oppenheimer fund on a regular basis. Please call the Transfer Agent or consult the Statement of Additional Information for details.
 

Retirement Plans. The Distributor offers a number of different retirement plans that individuals and employers can use. The procedures for buying, selling, exchanging and transferring shares, and the account features applicable to other share classes, generally do not apply to Class N shares offered through a group retirement plan. However, the time that transaction requests must be received in order to purchase, redeem or exchange shares at the net asset value calculated on any business day is the same for all share classes. Purchase, redemption, exchange and transfer requests for a group retirement plan must be submitted by the plan administrator, not by plan participants. Retirement plans that hold shares of Oppenheimer funds in an omnibus account for the benefit of plan participants (other than OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single DB Plus plans) are not permitted to make initial purchases of Class A shares that would be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Class B shares are not offered to new omnibus group retirement plans. The types of retirement plans that the Distributor offers include:
 

·     

Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). These include regular IRAs, Roth IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs and rollover IRAs.


·     

SEP-IRAs. These are Simplified Employee Pension Plan IRAs for small business owners or self-employed individuals.

·     

403(b)(7) Custodial Plans. These are tax-deferred plans for employees of eligible tax-exempt organizations, such as schools, hospitals and charitable organizations.

·     

401(k) Plans. These are special retirement plans for employees of businesses.

·     

Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. These plans are designed for businesses and self-employed individuals.

·     

Retirement Plan Accounts. To open an OppenheimerFunds retirement plan account, please call the Distributor for retirement plan documents, which include applications and important plan information.

Less Paper, Less Waste. To avoid sending duplicate copies of Fund materials to households, the Fund will mail only one copy of each prospectus, annual and semi-annual report and annual notice of the Fund’s privacy policy to shareholders having the same last name and address on the Fund’s records. The consolidation of these mailings, called “householding,” benefits the Fund through lower printing costs and reduced mailing expense.
 

If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call the Transfer Agent at the number on the back of this prospectus or you may notify the Transfer Agent in writing. Multiple copies of prospectuses, reports and privacy notices will be sent to you commencing within 30 days after the Transfer Agent receives your request to stop householding.
 

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS

Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares that compensates the Distributor for a portion of the costs of maintaining accounts and providing services to Class A shareholders. The Fund makes these payments quarterly, calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of the Class A shares daily net assets. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial intermediaries for providing personal service and maintaining the accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Because the service fee is paid out of the Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time it will increase the cost of your investment.

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares to pay the Distributor for distributing those share classes, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge for Class B and Class C shares calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of the daily net assets of those classes and for Class N shares calculated at 0.25% of the daily net assets of that class. The Fund also pays a service fee under the plans at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class B, Class C and Class N. Altogether, these fees increase the Class B and Class C annual expenses by 1.00% and increase the Class N annual expenses by 0.50%, calculated on the daily net assets of the applicable class. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an ongoing basis, over time they will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.
 

Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor uses the service fees to compensate brokers, dealers, banks and other financial intermediaries for maintaining accounts and providing personal services to Class B, Class C or Class N shareholders in the applicable share class. The Distributor normally pays intermediaries the 0.25% service fee in advance for the first year after shares are purchased and then pays that fee periodically.

Class B Shares: The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 3.75% of the purchase price of Class B shares to dealers from its own resources at the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of Class B shares is therefore 4.00% of the purchase price. The Distributor normally retains the Class B asset-based sales charge. However, for ongoing purchases of Class B shares by certain retirement plans, the Distributor may pay the intermediary the asset-based sales charge and service fee during the first year after purchase instead of paying a sales concession and the first year’s service fees at the time of purchase. See the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

Class C Shares: At the time of a Class C share purchase, the Distributor generally pays financial intermediaries a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase price from its own resources. Therefore, the total amount, including the advance of the service fee, that the Distributor pays the intermediary at the time of a Class C share purchase is 1.00% of the purchase price. The Distributor normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C share purchases during the first year and then pays that fee to the intermediary as an ongoing concession. For Class C share purchases in certain omnibus group retirement plans or through the OppenheimerFunds Record(k)eeper Pro program, the Distributor pays the intermediary the asset-based sales charge during the first year instead of paying a sales concession at the time of purchase. The Distributor pays the service fees it receives on those shares to the intermediary or to FASCore, LLC for providing shareholder services to those accounts. See the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions to these arrangements.

Class N Shares: At the time of a Class N share purchase, the Distributor generally pays financial intermediaries a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase price from its own resources. Therefore, the total amount, including the advance of the service fee, that the Distributor pays the intermediary at the time of a Class N purchase is 1.00% of the purchase price. The Distributor normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class N shares. For Class N shares purchased in certain omnibus group retirement plans the Distributor may pay the intermediary the asset-based sales charge and service fee during the first year instead of paying a sales concession and the first year’s service fees at the time of purchase. See the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions to these arrangements.

Other Payments to Financial Intermediaries and Service Providers. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or to service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager’s and/or the Distributor’s own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to these firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the “Fees and Expenses of the Fund” section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.
 
The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include your securities broker, dealer or financial adviser, sponsors of fund “supermarkets,” sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.
 
In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as “distribution-related” or “servicing” payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as “revenue sharing.” Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor’s marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary’s sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and “due diligence” or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives’ awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary’s sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.
 
Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary’s sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary’s sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor’s relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.
 

Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. he Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends monthly from its net investment income. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. The dividends and capital gains distributions paid on Class A and Class Y shares will generally be higher than those on Class B, Class C and Class N shares, since those classes normally have higher expenses than Class A and Class Y.
 

Options for Receiving Dividends and Distributions. When you open your Fund account, you can specify on your application how you want to receive distributions of dividends and capital gains. To change that option, you must notify the Transfer Agent. There are four payment options available:
 

·     

Reinvest All Distributions in the Fund. You can elect to reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the Fund.


·     

Reinvest Only Dividends or Capital Gains. You can elect to reinvest some types of distributions in the Fund while receiving the other types of distributions by check or having them sent to your bank account through AccountLink. Different treatment is available for distributions of dividends, short-term capital gains and long-term capital gains.

·     

Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive all dividends and capital gains distributions by check or have them sent to your bank through AccountLink.

·     

Reinvest Your Distributions in Another Oppenheimer Fund. You can reinvest all of your dividends and capital gains distributions in another Oppenheimer fund that is available for exchanges. You must have an existing account in the same share class in the selected fund.

TAXES. Dividend and distributions to Fund shareholders are mainly from amounts the Fund receives as dividends or distributions from the Underlying Funds or from gains on sales of shares of the Underlying Funds. Generally, the character of the income or capital gains that the Fund receives from the Underlying Funds will “pass through” to the Fund, subject to certain exceptions, as long as the Underlying Funds continue to qualify as “regulated investment companies.” The following discussion applies to certain tax aspects of both the Fund and the Underlying Funds.
 
If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred retirement account, you should be aware of the following tax consequences of investing in the Fund. Fund distributions, whether taken in cash or in additional shares, are subject to Federal income tax and may be subject to state or local taxes. Distributions paid from short-term capital gains and net investment income are taxable as ordinary income and distributions from net long-term capital gain are taxable as long-term capital gains no matter how long you have held your shares. In taxable years beginning before 2011, long-term capital gains of individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers are taxed at a special reduced rate.
 

In the case of individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers, for taxable years beginning before 2011, certain dividends (including certain dividends from foreign corporations) are taxable at the lower rate applicable to long-term capital gains. In the case of certain corporations, some dividends are eligible for the dividends-received deduction. To the extent the Fund’s distributions are paid from these types of dividends, and provided certain other shareholder level requirements are satisfied, the Fund’s individual and non-corporate shareholders will be eligible to claim the reduced tax rate for the distributions and the Fund’s corporate shareholders will be eligible to claim the dividends-received deduction.

Foreign countries may impose withholding and other taxes on the Fund’s dividend and interest income. Provided that at the end of the fiscal year more than 50% of the Fund’s assets are invested in stocks and securities of foreign corporations or governments, the Fund may make an election under the Internal Revenue Code allowing shareholders to take a credit or deduction on their Federal income tax returns for the foreign taxes paid by the Fund.
 
After the end of each calendar year the Fund will send you and the Internal Revenue Service statements showing the amount of any taxable distributions you received in the previous year and will separately identify any portion of these distributions that qualify for taxation as long-term capital gains or for any other special tax treatment. The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.
 
If you are neither a lawful permanent resident nor a citizen of the United States, or if you are a foreign entity, the Fund’s ordinary income dividends (which include distributions of net short-term capital gain) generally will be subject to a 30% U.S. withholding tax, unless a lower rate applies under an income tax treaty. For the Fund’s taxable year beginning November 1, 2008, certain distributions that are designated by the Fund as interest-related dividends or short-term gain dividends and paid to a foreign shareholder may be eligible for an exemption from U.S. withholding tax. To the extent the Fund’s distributions are derived from dividends, they will not be eligible for this exemption.
 
By law, your dividends and redemption proceeds will be subject to a withholding tax if you are not a corporation and have not provided a taxpayer identification number or social security number or if the number you have provided is incorrect.
 

Avoid “Buying a Distribution.” If you buy shares on or just before the ex-dividend date, or just before the Fund declares a capital gains distribution, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back as a taxable dividend or capital gain.
 

Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions. Because the Fund’s share prices fluctuate, you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or exchange your shares. A capital gain or loss is the difference between the price you paid for the shares and the price you receive when you sell or exchange them. Any capital gain is subject to capital gains tax.
 

Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the Fund may be considered a non-taxable return of capital to shareholders, resulting in a reduction in the basis in their shares. If this occurs, the Fund will notify you. This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

 


Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund’s financial performance since inception. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by KPMG LLP, the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009. The financial highlights for the prior periods were audited by another independent registered public accounting firm. KPMG’s reports, along with the Fund’s financial statements, are included in the Statement of Additional Information is available upon request.

Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund - This Underlying Fund’s primary objective is to seek a high level of current income by investing in a diversified portfolio of high-yield, lower-rated, fixed-income securities that this Underlying Fund’s investment Manager believes do not involve undue risk. This Underlying Fund’s secondary objective is to seek capital growth when consistent with its primary objective.

This Underlying Fund invests in a variety of high-yield debt securities and related instruments. Those investments include primarily:

·     

Lower-grade bonds and notes of corporate issuers.


·     

Foreign corporate and government bonds.


·     

Swaps, including single name and index-linked credit default swaps.


     Under normal market conditions, this Underlying Fund invests at least 60% of its total assets in high-yield, lower-grade, fixed income securities, also referred to as “junk bonds.” The remainder of this Underlying Fund’s assets may be held in other debt securities, common stocks (and other equity securities), cash or cash equivalents when the Manager believes these investments are consistent with this Underlying Fund’s objectives. This Underlying Fund has no requirements as to the range of maturities of the debt securities it can buy or as to the market capitalization of the issuers of those securities.
 
This Underlying Fund’s debt securities may be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services or may be unrated. Lower-grade debt securities are those rated below “Baa” by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) or below “BBB” by Standard & Poor’s Rating Services (“S&P”) or that have comparable ratings by other nationally-recognized rating organizations. Additionally, unrated debt securities may be determined to be comparable to securities rated below investment grade by the Manager.
 

     This Underlying Fund may invest in securities of U.S. or foreign issuers. It currently focuses on securities of foreign issuers in developed markets. This Underlying Fund also uses certain types of derivative investments to try to enhance income or to try to manage (“hedge”) investment risks, including: options, futures contracts, swaps, “structured” notes, and certain mortgage-related securities.

Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund – This Underlying Fund is a mutual fund that seeks total return. It invests primarily in investment-grade bonds and U.S. government securities. Under normal market conditions, this Underlying Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in investment-grade debt securities. Those securities, generally referred to as “bonds,” can include:

·     

Domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations,


·     

Domestic and foreign government bonds, including U.S. government securities,


·     

Mortgage-related securities


·     

Asset-backed securities, and


·     

Other debt obligations.


This Underlying Fund’s investments in U.S. government securities may include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or federally-chartered corporate entities referred to as “instrumentalities.” These include mortgage-related U.S. government securities. There is no set allocation of this Underlying Fund’s assets among the above classes of securities, but it focuses mainly on U.S. government securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities. When market conditions change, the portfolio managers might change the Fund’s relative asset allocation. This Underlying Fund can also invest in money market instruments and other debt obligations.

     This Underlying Fund will attempt to maintain the portfolio’s overall weighted-average credit quality at the equivalent of an “A-“ or higher rating from any nationally recognized credit rating organization. However, this Underlying Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in high-yield debt securities that are below investment-grade (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”).

This Underlying Fund has no limitations on the range of maturities of the debt securities in which it can invest and therefore may hold bonds with short-, medium- or long-term maturities. To try to decrease volatility, this Underlying Fund seeks to maintain an average effective portfolio duration of three to six years, measured on a dollar-weighted basis. Because of market events and interest rate changes, the duration of the portfolio might not meet that target.

This Underlying Fund may invest a portion of its assets in foreign debt securities, including securities issued by foreign governments or companies in both developed and emerging markets. This Underlying Fund may not invest more than 20% of its net assets in foreign debt securities.

This Underlying Fund may also use derivatives to seek increased returns or to try to manage investment risks. Options, futures, swaps, interest-only and principal-only securities, “structured” notes, asset-backed securities and certain mortgage-related securities are examples of the types of derivatives this Underlying Fund can use.

Oppenheimer International Bond Fund – This Underlying Fund’s primary objective is to seek total return. As a secondary objective, this Underlying Fund seeks income when consistent with total return.

This Underlying Fund invests mainly in debt securities of foreign government and corporate issuers. It can invest in various debt securities, generally referred to as “bonds,” including long-term and short-term government bonds, corporate debt obligations, “structured” notes, participation interests in loans, “zero coupon” or “stripped” securities, certain mortgage-related securities or asset-backed securities and other debt obligations.

·     

Under normal circumstances, this Underlying Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in “bonds.”


·     

This Underlying Fund typically invests in at least three countries other than the United States.

·     

This Underlying Fund invests in debt securities of issuers in both developed and emerging markets throughout the world.

·     

This Underlying Fund may buy securities issued by companies of any size or market capitalization range and at time might increase it emphasis on securities of issuers in a particular capitalization range.

·     

This Underlying Fund may invest in debt securities having short, intermediate or long maturities.

·     

This Underlying Fund can invest in rated or unrated securities. It does not limit its investments to a particular credit quality or rating category and can invest without limit in securities below investment grade (commonly called “junk bonds”).

This Underlying Fund may also use derivatives to seek increase returns or to try to manage investment risks. Options, forward contracts, swaps, and “structured” notes are examples of derivatives the Fund can use.
 

Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund LLC - The investment objective of this Underlying Fund is to seek as high a level of current income and preservation of capital as is consistent with investing primarily in loans and other debt securities. This Underlying Fund’s investments objective is not a fundamental policy and can be changed without shareholder approval. Under normal circumstances, this Underlying Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets in loans made to U.S. and foreign borrowers that are corporations, partnerships or other business entities. This Underlying Fund may invest directly in loans (as an original lender or by assignment from a lender) or indirectly in loans through loan participation agreements or certain derivative instruments. Although this is not a fundamental policy, the amount so invested will not be changed by this Underlying Fund’s Board of Directors without providing shareholders at least 60 days prior notice of the change. This Underlying Fund will invest in floating (sometimes referred to as “adjustable”) rate loans that pay interest at rates that float above (or are adjusted periodically based on) a benchmark that reflects current interest rates, such as the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks (referred to as the “Prime Rate”) or the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (referred to as “LIBOR”). This Underlying Fund may also invest in loans with fixed interest rates. While many of these loans will be collateralized, this Underlying Fund can invest in uncollateralized loans. This Underlying Fund has no limits as to the maturity of loans in which it invests or as to the market capitalization range of the borrowers. This Underlying Fund can invest without limit in loans that are below investment grade, which are loans rated below BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody’s, or that have comparable ratings by another rating organization. This Underlying Fund may also invest in unrated loans, whether or not determined by the Manager to be investment grade. This Underlying Fund can invest in loans made in connection with highly leveraged transactions. This Underlying Fund may invest in loans where the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty or is insolvent and in loans that are in default at the time this Underlying Fund buys them.
 

When selecting loans for investment, the Manager performs its own analysis based on information obtained from agents that originate or administer loans, other lenders, and ratings organizations, among other sources. The Manager’s analysis may consider various factors, such as the borrower’s past and projected financial performance; the borrower’s tangible assets and cash flows; the quality and depth of the borrower’s management; the credit quality of the agent bank’s or other intermediaries’ debt obligations; the credit quality of the collateral, if any; the state of the borrower’s industry; and the market for loans generally. The Manager will continue to monitor the credit quality of loans in its portfolio and the status of the applicable borrowers for the duration of the Fund’s investment.

In addition to investments in loans, the Fund may use certain other investments and investment strategies described further below and in the Statement of Additional Information. The Manager might not always use all of these different types of investments and strategies. The allocation of the Fund’s portfolio among the different types of permitted investments will vary over time based upon the Manger’s evaluation of economic and market trends.

ABOUT THE FUND

Additional Information About the Fund’s Investment Policies and Risks

     The investment objective, the principal investment policies, and the main risks of the Fund are described in the Prospectus. The Fund is a special type of fund known as a “fund of funds” that invests primarily in a diversified portfolio of Oppenheimer mutual funds. Those funds are referred to as the “Underlying Funds.” This Statement of Additional Information contains supplemental information about those policies and risks and the types of securities the Fund’s and Underlying Funds’ investment manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”), can select for the Fund or the Underlying Funds. Additional information is also provided about the strategies that the Fund may use to try to achieve its objective.

The Funds Investment Policies. The Fund normally invests in a portfolio of Class Y shares of the Underlying Funds. The Fund may invest in Class A shares of an Underlying Fund if Class Y shares are not available. The composition of those investments, and the factors considered in allocating the Fund’s assets among the Underlying Funds, may vary over time. From time to time, the Fund may also invest in the securities of individual issuers directly, as described below. The risks of such direct investments in those securities are the same risks that the securities have in the portfolios of the Underlying Funds. However the Fund may have greater exposure to such securities, and therefore to such risks, when it makes a direct investment.

The Underlying Funds Investment Policies. The Fund’s Prospectus includes the investment objective and a brief description of each of the Underlying Funds. The Underlying Funds are currently: Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund (“Champion Income Fund”), Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund (“Core Bond Fund”), Oppenheimer International Bond Fund (“International Bond Fund”) and Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund LLC (“Master Loan Fund”). Set forth below is supplemental information about the types of securities the Underlying Funds may invest in, as well as strategies the Underlying Funds may use to try to achieve their objectives. The charts below indicates some of the types of securities and strategies that each of the Underlying Funds may use. The choice of Underlying Funds, the objectives and investment policies of the Underlying Funds and the Fund’s allocations to the Underlying Funds may change without notice to or approval of the Fund’s shareholders.

The Fund and the Underlying Funds are not required to use all of these investment techniques and strategies in seeking their objectives. They may use some of the investment techniques and strategies only at certain times or not at all.

For more complete information about the investment policies and strategies of one of the Underlying Funds, Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund LLC, please refer to its registration statement, available on the EDGAR Database on the Securities and Exchange Commission Internet website at ww.sec.gov. For more complete information about the investment policies and strategies of three of the Underlying Funds – Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund and Oppenheimer International Bond Fund – please refer to each Underlying Fund’s prospectus and SAI available by calling 1.800.225.5677, or by downloading it from the OppenheimerFunds, Inc. website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

Debt Securities

Some of the Underlying Funds invest in debt securities with differing credit and maturity characteristics, and with fixed or floating interest rates, to seek their objectives. Other Underlying Funds may invest in debt securities for defensive purposes and/or for liquidity. Certain types of debt securities in which the Underlying Funds may invest are described below. For specific limitations on an Underlying Fund’s investments in debt securities, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for that fund.

|X|     Floating Rate and Variable Rate Obligations. Some of the securities that some of the Underlying Funds can purchase have variable or floating interest rates The interest rate on a floating rate note is adjusted automatically according to a stated prevailing market rate, such as a bank's prime rate, the 91-day U.S. Treasury Bill rate, or some other standard. The instrument's rate is adjusted automatically each time the base rate is adjusted. The interest rates on variable rate obligations are adjusted at stated periodic intervals.

Generally, the changes in the interest rate on floating and variable rate obligations reduce the fluctuation in their market value. As interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation is less than that for fixed-rate obligations of the same maturity.

Floating rate and variable rate obligations that have a stated maturity in excess of one year may have features that permit the holder to recover the principal amount of the underlying security at specified intervals, generally not exceeding one year and upon no more than 30 days’ notice. Variable rate obligations may have a demand feature that allows an Underlying Fund to tender the obligation to the issuer or a third party at certain times. The tender may be at par value plus accrued interest, according to the terms of the obligations. Floating rate notes may also have a feature that allows the holder to receive payment prior to maturity. The issuer of a “demand” obligation normally has a corresponding right to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the note plus accrued interest after a given period. The issuer usually must provide a specified number of days’ notice to the holder.

The floating rate and variable rate obligations in which an Underlying Fund may invest generally must meet the credit quality requirements of that fund. The Manager may determine that an unrated floating rate or variable rate obligation meets an Underlying Fund's quality standards by reason of being backed by a letter of credit or guarantee issued by a bank that meets those quality standards.

|X|     Zero Coupon Securities. Certain Underlying Funds may buy zero-coupon, delayed interest and “stripped” securities. Stripped securities are debt securities whose interest coupons are separated from the security and sold separately. Certain Underlying Funds can buy different types of zero-coupon or stripped securities, including, among others, foreign debt securities and U.S. Treasury notes or bonds that have been stripped of their interest coupons, U.S. Treasury bills issued without interest coupons, and certificates representing interests in stripped securities.

Zero-coupon securities do not make periodic interest payments and are sold at a deep discount from their face value. The buyer recognizes a rate of return determined by the gradual appreciation of the security, which is redeemed at face value on a specified maturity date. This discount depends on the time remaining until maturity, as well as prevailing interest rates, the liquidity of the security and the credit quality of the issuer. In the absence of threats to the issuer’s credit quality, the discount typically decreases as the maturity date approaches. Some zero-coupon securities are convertible, in that they are zero-coupon securities until a predetermined date, at which time they convert to a security with a specified coupon rate.

Because zero-coupon securities pay no interest and compound semi-annually at the rate fixed at the time of their issuance, their value is generally more volatile than the value of other debt securities. Their value may fall more dramatically than the value of interest-bearing securities when interest rates rise. When prevailing interest rates fall, zero-coupon securities tend to rise more rapidly in value because they have a fixed rate of return.

An Underlying Fund’s investment in zero-coupon securities may cause it to recognize income and make distributions to shareholders before it receives any cash payments on the zero-coupon investment. To generate cash to satisfy those distribution requirements, the Underlying Fund may have to sell portfolio securities that it otherwise might have continued to hold or to use cash flows from other sources such as the sale of the Underlying Fund's shares.

Certain Underlying Funds may also invest in zero-coupon securities issued by private-issuers such as domestic or foreign corporations. These securities have the same interest rate risks as described above for zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities. An additional risk of private-issuer zero-coupon securities is the credit risk that the issuer will be unable to make payment at maturity of the obligation.

|X|     Investment-Grade Debt Securities. Some of the Underlying Funds may invest in investment-grade debt obligations rated in the four highest investment categories by Standard & Poor’s Rating Service (“S&P”), Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), or by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization (“NRSRO”). If they are unrated, they will be assigned a rating to be considered of similar quality to obligations that are rated investment grade.

|X|     Lower-Grade Debt Securities. “Lower-grade” debt securities are those rated below “investment grade,” which means they have a rating lower than “Baa” by Moody's or lower than “BBB” by S&P or Fitch, Inc. (“Fitch”), or similar ratings by other rating organizations. If they are unrated, and are determined by an Underlying Fund’s manager to be of comparable quality to debt securities rated below investment grade, they are considered part of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio of lower-grade securities. Some of the Underlying Funds can invest in securities rated as low as “C” or “D” or which may be in default at the time of purchase. A description of the debt security ratings categories of the principal rating organizations is included in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information.

Because lower-grade debt securities tend to offer higher yields than investment-grade securities, an Underlying Fund might invest in lower-grade securities if its manager is trying to achieve higher income.

|X|     Bank Obligations and Securities That Are Secured By Them. Some of the Underlying Funds can buy time deposits, certificates of deposit, and bankers' acceptances. Time deposits, other than overnight deposits, may be subject to withdrawal penalties, and if so, they are deemed to be “illiquid” investments.

Some of the Underlying Funds can purchase bank obligations that are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The FDIC generally insures the deposits of member banks up to $100,000 per account, however, that limit has been increased to $250,000 through December 31, 2009. Insured bank obligations may have a limited market and a particular investment of this type may be deemed “illiquid” unless the Board of Trustees of the Underlying Fund determines that a readily-available market exists for that particular obligation, or unless the obligation is payable at principal amount plus accrued interest on demand or within seven days after demand.

|X|     Loan Participation Interests. Some of the Underlying Funds can invest in participation interests, subject to the Underlying Funds’ limitations on investments in illiquid investments. A participation interest is an undivided interest in a loan made by the issuing financial institution in the proportion that the buyer’s participation interest bears to the total principal amount of the loan. The issuing financial institution may have no obligation to an Underlying Fund other than to pay the Underlying Fund the proportionate amount of the principal and interest payments it receives. For specific limitations on the Underlying Funds’ investments in participation interests, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

Participation interests are primarily dependent upon the creditworthiness of the borrowing corporation, which is obligated to make payments of principal and interest on the loan. There is a risk that a borrower may have difficulty making payments. If a borrower fails to pay scheduled interest or principal payments, an Underlying Fund could experience a reduction in its income. The value of that participation interest might also decline, which could affect the net asset value of an Underlying Fund’s shares. If the issuing financial institution fails to perform its obligations under the participation agreement, an Underlying Fund might incur costs and delays in realizing payment and suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

|X|     Master Demand Notes. Master demand notes are corporate obligations that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts by the some Underlying Funds at varying rates of interest under direct arrangements between an Underlying Fund, as lender, and the borrower. They permit daily changes in the amounts borrowed. An Underlying Fund has the right to increase the amount under the note at any time up to the full amount provided by the note agreement, or to decrease the amount. The borrower may prepay up to the full amount of the note without penalty. These notes may or may not be backed by bank letters of credit.

Because these notes are direct lending arrangements between the lender and borrower, it is not expected that there will be a trading market for them. There is no secondary market for these notes, although they are redeemable (and thus are immediately repayable by the borrower) at principal amount, plus accrued interest, at any time. Accordingly, an Underlying Fund’s right to redeem such notes is dependent upon the ability of the borrower to pay principal and interest on demand.

The Underlying Funds may have no limitations on the type of issuer from whom these notes will be purchased. However, in connection with such purchases and on an ongoing basis, the Manager will consider the earning power, cash flow and other liquidity ratios of the issuer, and its ability to pay principal and interest on demand, including a situation in which all holders of such notes made demand simultaneously. Investments in master demand notes may be subject to the limitation on investments by an Underlying Fund in illiquid securities, described in the Underlying Fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

|X|     Foreign Debt Obligations. Some of the Underlying Funds can invest in obligations issued by foreign governments and private foreign issuers.

•     Foreign Sovereign Debt Obligations. The debt obligations of a foreign government and its agencies and instrumentalities may or may not be supported by the full faith and credit of the foreign government.

Some of the Underlying Funds also can buy securities issued by certain “supra-national” entities, which include entities designated or supported by various governments to promote economic reconstruction or development, international banking organizations and related government agencies. Examples are the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank.
The governmental members of these supra-national entities are “stockholders” that typically make capital contributions and may be committed to make additional capital contributions if the entity is unable to repay its borrowings. A supra-national entity’s lending activities may be limited to a percentage of its total capital, reserves and net income. There can be no assurance that the constituent foreign governments will continue to be able or willing to honor their capitalization commitments for those entities.

•     Brady Bonds. Some of the Underlying Funds can invest in U.S. dollar-denominated “Brady Bonds.” These foreign debt obligations may be fixed-rate par bonds or floating-rate discount bonds. They are generally collateralized in full as to repayment of principal at maturity by U.S. Treasury zero-coupon obligations that have the same maturity as the Brady Bonds. Brady Bonds can be viewed as having three or four valuation components: (i) the collateralized repayment of principal at final maturity; (ii) the collateralized interest payments; (iii) the uncollateralized interest payments; and (iv) any uncollateralized repayment of principal at maturity. Those uncollateralized amounts constitute what is called the “residual risk.”

If there is a default on collateralized Brady Bonds resulting in acceleration of the payment obligations of the issuer, the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities held as collateral for the payment of principal will not be distributed to investors, nor will those obligations be sold to distribute the proceeds. The collateral will be held by the collateral agent to the scheduled maturity of the defaulted Brady Bonds. The defaulted bonds will continue to remain outstanding, and the face amount of the collateral will equal the principal payments which would have then been due on the Brady Bonds in the normal course. Because of the residual risk of Brady Bonds and the history of defaults with respect to commercial bank loans by public and private entities of countries issuing Brady Bonds, Brady Bonds are considered speculative investments.

|X|     U.S. Government Securities. Some of the Underlying Funds may invest in U.S. government securities. These are securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or other U.S. government agencies or federally-chartered corporate entities referred to as “instrumentalities.” The obligations of U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities in which the Underlying Funds can invest may or may not be guaranteed or supported by the “full faith and credit” of the United States. “Full faith and credit” means generally that the taxing power of the U.S. government is pledged to the payment of interest and repayment of principal on a security. If a security is not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, the owner of the security must look principally to the agency issuing the obligation for repayment. The owner might not be able to assert a claim against the United States if the issuing agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment.

•     U.S. Treasury Obligations. These include Treasury bills (which have maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (which have maturities of more than one year and up to ten years when issued), and Treasury bonds (which have maturities of more than ten years when issued). Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States as to timely payments of interest and repayments of principal. Other U.S. Treasury obligations the Underlying Funds can buy include U.S. Treasury securities that have been “stripped” by a Federal Reserve Bank, zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities described below, and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities (“TIPS”).

•     Obligations Issued or Guaranteed by U.S. Government Agencies or Instrumentalities. These include direct obligations and mortgage-related securities that have different levels of credit support from the government. Some are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as Government National Mortgage Association pass-through mortgage certificates (called “Ginnie Maes”). Some are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances, such as Federal National Mortgage Association bonds and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation obligations.

|X|     Mortgage-Related Securities. Some of the Underlying Funds can invest in mortgage-related securities. Mortgage-related securities are a form of derivative investment collateralized by pools of commercial or residential mortgages. Pools of mortgage loans are assembled as securities for sale to investors by government agencies or entities or by private issuers. These securities include collateralized mortgage obligations (“CMOs”), mortgage pass-through securities, stripped mortgage pass-through securities, interests in real estate mortgage investment conduits (“REMICs”) and other real estate-related securities.

Mortgage-related securities that are issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government have relatively little credit risk (depending on the nature of the issuer) but are subject to interest rate risks and prepayment risks, as described in the Prospectus.

As with other debt securities, the prices of mortgage-related securities tend to move inversely to changes in interest rates. Some of the Underlying Funds can buy mortgage-related securities that have interest rates that move inversely to changes in general interest rates, based on a multiple of a specific index. Although the value of a mortgage-related security may decline when interest rates rise, the converse is not always the case.

•     Collateralized Mortgage Obligations. Collateralized mortgage obligations or CMOs, are multi-class bonds that are backed by pools of mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through certificates. They may be collateralized by:

·     

pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC),


·     

unsecuritized mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans’ Affairs,


·     

unsecuritized conventional mortgages,


·     

other mortgage-related securities, or


·     

any combination of these.


Each class of CMO, referred to as a “tranche,” is issued at a specific coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution date. Principal prepayments on the underlying mortgages may cause the CMO to be retired much earlier than the stated maturity or final distribution date. The principal and interest on the underlying mortgages may be allocated among the several classes of a series of a CMO in different ways. One or more tranches may have coupon rates that reset periodically at a specified increase over an index. These are floating rate CMOs, and typically have a cap on the coupon rate. Inverse floating rate CMOs have a coupon rate that moves in the reverse direction to an applicable index. The coupon rate on these CMOs will increase as general interest rates decrease. These are usually much more volatile than fixed rate CMOs or floating rate CMOs.

•     Forward Rolls. Some of the Underlying Funds can enter into “forward roll” transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, an Underlying Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (the same type of security, and having the same coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. The securities that are repurchased will have the same interest rate as the securities that are sold, but typically will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages (with different prepayment histories) than the securities that have been sold. Proceeds from the sale are invested in short-term instruments, such as repurchase agreements. The income from those investments, plus the fees from the forward roll transaction, are expected to generate income to an Underlying Fund in excess of the yield on the securities that have been sold.

An Underlying Fund will only enter into “covered” rolls. To assure its future payment of the purchase price, the Underlying Funds will identify on its books liquid assets in an amount equal to the payment obligation under the roll.
These transactions have risks. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, Underlying Funds will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. It is possible that the market value of the securities an Underlying Fund sells might decline below the price at which the Underlying Funds are obligated to repurchase securities.

•     Stripped Mortgage Related Securities. Some of the Underlying Funds may invest in stripped mortgage-related securities that are created by segregating the cash flows from underlying mortgage loans or mortgage securities to create two or more new securities. Each has a specified percentage of the underlying security’s principal or interest payments. These are a form of derivative investment.
Mortgage securities may be partially stripped so that each class receives some interest and some principal. However, they may be completely stripped. In that case all of the interest is distributed to holders of one type of security, known as an “interest-only” security, or “I/O,” and all of the principal is distributed to holders of another type of security, known as a “principal-only” security or “P/O.” Strips can be created for pass through certificates or CMOs.
The yields to maturity of I/Os and P/Os are very sensitive to principal repayments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgages. If the underlying mortgages experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Underlying Fund might not fully recoup its investment in an I/O based on those assets. If underlying mortgages experience less than anticipated prepayments of principal, the yield on the P/Os based on them could decline substantially. The market for some of these securities may be limited, making it difficult for an Underlying Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price.

•     Mortgage-Related U.S. Government Securities. These include interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages, in the form of collateralized mortgage obligations and other “pass-through” mortgage securities. CMOs that are U.S. government securities have collateral to secure payment of interest and principal. They may be issued in different series with different interest rates and maturities. The collateral is either in the form of mortgage pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency or instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a U.S. government agency. For specific limitations on the Underlying Funds’ investments in mortgage-related U.S. government securities, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.


The prices and yields of CMOs are determined, in part, by assumptions about the cash flows from the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages. Changes in interest rates may cause the rate of expected prepayments of those mortgages to change. In general, prepayments increase when general interest rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise.


If prepayments of mortgages underlying a CMO occur faster than expected when interest rates fall, the market value and yield of the CMO will be reduced. Additionally, an Underlying Fund may have to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in other securities paying interest at lower rates, which could reduce that Underlying Funds’ yield.


When interest rates rise rapidly, if prepayments occur more slowly than expected, a short- or medium-term CMO can in effect become a long-term security, subject to greater fluctuations in value. These are the prepayment risks described above and can make the prices of CMOs very volatile when interest rates change. The prices of longer-term debt securities tend to fluctuate more than those of shorter-term debt securities. That volatility will affect the Underlying Funds’ share prices.

     GNMA Certificates (Ginnie Mae). The GNMA is a wholly-owned corporate instrumentality of the United States within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. GNMA’s principal programs involve its guarantees of privately-issued securities backed by pools of mortgages. Ginnie Maes are debt securities representing an interest in one or a pool of mortgages that are insured by the Federal Housing Administration or the Farmers Home Administration or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration.

The Ginnie Maes in which some of the Underlying Funds invest are of the “fully modified pass-through” type. They provide that the registered holders of the Certificates will receive timely monthly payments of the pro-rata share of the scheduled principal payments on the underlying mortgages, whether or not those amounts are collected by the issuers. Amounts paid include, on a pro rata basis, any prepayment of principal of such mortgages and interest (net of servicing and other charges) on the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Ginnie Maes, whether or not the interest on the underlying mortgages has been collected by the issuers.


The Ginnie Maes purchased by the Underlying Funds are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by GNMA. In giving that guaranty, GNMA expects that payments received by the issuers of Ginnie Maes on account of the mortgages backing the Certificates will be sufficient to make the required payments of principal of and interest on those Ginnie Maes. However, if those payments are insufficient, the guaranty agreements between the issuers of the Ginnie Maes and GNMA require the issuers to make advances sufficient for the payments. If the issuers fail to make those payments, GNMA will do so.


Under federal law, the full faith and credit of the United States is pledged to the payment of all amounts that may be required to be paid under any guaranty issued by GNMA as to such mortgage pools. An opinion of an Assistant Attorney General of the United States, dated December 9, 1969, states that such guaranties “constitute general obligations of the United States backed by its full faith and credit.” GNMA is empowered to borrow from the United States Treasury to the extent necessary to make any payments of principal and interest required under those guaranties.


Ginnie Maes are backed by the aggregate indebtedness secured by the underlying FHA-insured, FMHA-insured or VA-guaranteed mortgages. Except to the extent of payments received by the issuers on account of such mortgages, Ginnie Maes do not constitute a liability of those issuers, nor do they evidence any recourse against those issuers. Recourse is solely against GNMA. Holders of Ginnie Maes (such as the Underlying Funds) have no security interest in or lien on the underlying mortgages.


Monthly payments of principal will be made, and additional prepayments of principal may be made, to the Underlying Funds with respect to the mortgages underlying the Ginnie Maes held by the Underlying Funds. All of the mortgages in the pools relating to the Ginnie Maes in the Underlying Funds are subject to prepayment without any significant premium or penalty, at the option of the mortgagors. While the mortgages on 1-to-4-family dwellings underlying certain Ginnie Maes have a stated maturity of up to thirty years, it has been the experience of the mortgage industry that the average life of comparable mortgages, as a result of prepayments, refinancing and payments from foreclosures, is considerably less.

     FNMA Certificates (Fannie Mae). FNMA, a federally-chartered and privately-owned corporation, issues Fannie Mae Certificates which are backed by a pool of mortgage loans. FNMA guarantees to each registered holder of a Fannie Mae Certificate that the holder will receive amounts representing the holder's proportionate interest in scheduled principal and interest payments, and any principal prepayments, on the mortgage loans in the pool represented by such Certificate, less servicing and guarantee fees, and the holder’s proportionate interest in the full principal amount of any foreclosed or other liquidated mortgage loan. In each case the guarantee applies whether or not those amounts are actually received. The obligations of FNMA under its guarantees are obligations solely of FNMA and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or any of its agencies or instrumentalities other than FNMA.

     FHLMC Certificates. FHLMC, a corporate instrumentality of the United States, issues FHLMC Certificates representing interests in mortgage loans. FHLMC guarantees to each registered holder of a FHLMC Certificate timely payment of the amounts representing a holder's proportionate share of:

·     

interest payments less servicing and guarantee fees,


·     

principal prepayments, and


·     

the ultimate collection of amounts representing the holder's proportionate interest in principal payments on the mortgage loans in the pool represented by the FHLMC Certificate, in each case whether or not such amounts are actually received.


The obligations of FHLMC under its guarantees are obligations solely of FHLMC and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.

•     Commercial (Privately-Issued) Mortgage Related Securities. Some of the Underlying Funds can invest in commercial mortgage-related securities issued by private entities. Generally these are multi-class debt or pass-through certificates secured by mortgage loans on commercial properties. They are subject to the credit risk of the issuer. These securities typically are structured to provide protection to investors in senior classes from possible losses on the underlying loans. They do so by having holders of subordinated classes take the first loss if there are defaults on the underlying loans. They may also be protected to some extent by guarantees, reserve funds or additional collateralization mechanisms.

|X|     Asset-Backed Securities. Some of the Underlying Funds may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities are fractional interests in pools of assets, typically accounts receivable or consumer loans. They are issued by trusts or special-purpose corporations. These securities are subject to prepayment risks and the risk of default by the issuer as well as by the borrowers of the underlying loans in the pool. They are similar to mortgage-related securities, described above, and are backed by a pool of assets that consist of obligations of individual borrowers. The income from the pool is passed through to the holders of participation interest in the pools. The pools may offer a credit enhancement, such as a bank letter of credit, to try to reduce the risks that the underlying debtors will not pay their obligations when due. However, the enhancement, if any, might not be for the full par value of the security. If the enhancement is exhausted and any required payments of interest or repayments of principal are not made, an Underlying Fund could suffer losses on its investment or delays in receiving payment.

The value of an asset-backed security is affected by changes in the market’s perception of the asset backing the security, the creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the loan pool, the originator of the loans, or the financial institution providing any credit enhancement, and is also affected if any credit enhancement has been exhausted. The risks of investing in asset-backed securities are ultimately related to payment of consumer loans by the individual borrowers. As a purchaser of an asset-backed security, an Underlying Fund would generally have no recourse to the entity that originated the loans in the event of default by a borrower. The underlying loans are subject to prepayments, which may shorten the weighted average life of asset-backed securities and may lower their return, in the same manner as in the case of mortgage-backed securities and CMOs.

|X|     Money Market and Other Short-Term Debt Obligations. Some of the Underlying Funds can invest in a variety of high quality money market instruments and other short-term debt obligations, under both normal market conditions and for defensive purposes. Money market securities are high-quality, short-term debt instruments that are issued by the U.S. government, corporations, banks or other entities. They may have fixed, variable or floating interest rates. The following is a brief description of the types of money market securities and short-term debt obligations the Underlying Funds can invest in.

•     Bank Obligations. Some of the Underlying Funds can buy time deposits, certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances. They must be:

·     

obligations issued or guaranteed by a domestic bank or foreign bank (including a foreign branch of a domestic bank) having total assets of at least U.S. $1 billion,


·     

banker's acceptances (which may or may not be supported by letters of credit) only if guaranteed by a U.S. commercial bank with total assets of at least U.S. $1 billion.


Some of the Underlying Funds can make time deposits. These are non-negotiable deposits in a bank for a specified period of time. They may be subject to early withdrawal penalties. Time deposits that are subject to early withdrawal penalties are subject to an Underlying Fund's limits on illiquid investments. “Banks” include commercial banks, savings banks and savings and loan associations.

•     Commercial Paper. Some of the Underlying Funds can invest in commercial paper if it is rated within the top three rating categories of S&P and Moody’s or other rating organizations. If the paper is not rated, it may be purchased if the Underlying Funds’ manager determines that it is comparable to rated commercial paper in the top three rating categories of national rating organizations.

Some of the Underlying Funds can buy commercial paper that is not in the top three rating categories (including U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign branches of U.S. banks) if the commercial paper is guaranteed as to principal and interest by a bank, government or corporation whose certificates of deposit or commercial paper may otherwise be purchased by an Underlying Fund.

Main Risks of Debt Securities

     In general, debt securities are subject to two primary types of risk: credit risk and interest rate risk. The values of debt securities may be affected by changes in the market’s perception of the likely direction of interest rates and/or the creditworthiness of the entity issuing or guaranteeing a security. Their values may also be affected by changes in government regulations and tax policies.

|X|     Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.

Some of the Underlying Funds’ investments are investment-grade debt securities and U.S. government securities. U.S. government securities, although unrated, are generally considered to be equivalent to securities in the highest rating categories. Investment-grade bonds are bonds that are rated at least “Baa” by Moody’s, or at least “BBB” by S&P Fitch, or have comparable ratings by another nationally-recognized rating organization.

While securities rated “Baa” by Moody's or “BBB” by S&P and Fitch are investment grade and are not regarded as junk bonds, those securities may be subject to special risks and have some speculative characteristics. Definitions of the debt security ratings categories of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch are included in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information.

Some of the Underlying Funds also buy non-investment-grade debt securities (commonly referred to as “junk bonds”). “Lower-grade” debt securities are those rated below “investment grade,” which means they have a rating lower than “Baa” by Moody’s or lower than “BBB” by S&P or Fitch or similar ratings by other nationally recognized rating organizations. If they are unrated, and are determined by an Underlying Fund’s manager to be of comparable quality to debt securities rated below investment grade, they are included in the limitation on the percentage of the Underlying Fund’ assets that can be invested in lower-grade securities.

|X|     Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of debt securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in prevailing interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already-issued debt securities, and a decline in prevailing interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities having longer maturities tend to offer higher yields, but are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations having shorter maturities.

Fluctuations in the market value of debt securities after an Underlying Fund buys them will not affect the interest income payable on those securities (unless the security pays interest at a variable rate pegged to interest rate changes). However, those price fluctuations will be reflected in the valuations of the securities, and therefore an Underlying Fund's net asset values will be affected by those fluctuations.

|X|      Special Risks of Lower-Grade Debt Securities. Because lower-grade debt securities tend to offer higher yields than investment-grade securities, an Underlying Fund might invest in lower-grade securities if its manager is trying to achieve higher income. For specific limitations on Underlying Funds’ investments in lower-grade debt securities, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

“Lower-grade” debt securities are those rated below “investment grade,” which means they have a rating lower than “Baa” by Moody’s or lower than “BBB” by S&P or Fitch, or similar ratings by other rating organizations. If they are unrated, and are determined by an Underlying Fund’s manager to be of comparable quality to debt securities rated below investment grade, they are considered part of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio of lower-grade securities. Some of the Underlying Funds can invest in securities rated as low as “C” or “D” or which may be in default at the time such Underlying Fund buys them.

Some of the special credit risks of lower-grade securities include the following: There is a greater risk that the issuer may default on its obligation to pay interest or to repay principal than in the case of investment-grade securities. The issuer’s low creditworthiness may increase the potential for its insolvency. An overall decline in values in the high yield bond market is also more likely during a period of a general economic downturn. An economic downturn or an increase in interest rates could severely disrupt the market for high yield bonds, adversely affecting the values of outstanding bonds as well as the ability of issuers to pay interest or repay principal.

To the extent they can be converted into stock, convertible securities may be less subject to some of the risks of volatility than non-convertible high yield bonds, since stock may be more liquid and less affected by some of these risk factors.

Senior Loans. The Senior Loans that one of the Underlying Funds, OFII Senior Master Loan Trust, invests in are loans made to U.S. or foreign corporations, partnerships or other business entities (referred to as “borrowers”). Senior Loans are often issued in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, and refinancings of borrowers. While most of the Senior Loans that the Fund will invest in will be collateralized, the Fund can also invest in loans that are not collateralized, as discussed below. Senior loans are debt obligations on which interest is payable at rates that adjust periodically, using a base rate plus a premium or spread above the base rate. The base rate usually is a benchmark that “floats” or changes to reflect current interest rates, such as:

·     

the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks (referred to as the “Prime Rate”), or


·     

the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or


·     

the certificate of deposit (“CD”) rate or other base rate used by commercial lenders.      


     The applicable rate is defined in the loan agreement. Borrowers tend to select the base lending rate that results in the lowest interest cost, and the rate selected may change from time to time. If the benchmark interest rate on a Senior Loan changes, the rate payable to lenders under the Senior Loan will, in turn, change at the next scheduled adjustment date. If the benchmark rate increases, the Fund would earn interest at a higher rate on that Senior Loan, but after the adjustment date. If the benchmark rate decreases, the Fund would earn interest at a lower rate on that Senior Loan after the adjustment date.
 

      Interest rates may adjust daily, monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. The Fund may use interest rate swap agreements and other hedging practices to shorten the effective interest rate adjustment period of a Senior Loan. Investments in Senior Loans with longer interest rate adjustment periods may increase fluctuations in the Fund’s net asset values as a result of interest rate changes.
 

      Senior Loans typically are negotiated between a borrower and one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions as lenders. The lenders are represented by one or more lenders acting as agent of all of the lenders. The Senior Loans then are syndicated among a group of commercial banks and financial institutions.
 

     The agent is responsible for negotiating the terms and conditions of the Senior Loan and the rights of the borrower and the lenders. The agent typically administers and enforces the loan on behalf of the other lenders in the syndicate. The agent normally is responsible to collect principal and interest payments from the borrower and to apportion those payments among the lenders that are parties to the agreement. The borrower compensates the agent for its services. That compensation may include fees for funding and structuring the loan as well as fees on a continuing basis for other services. A purchaser of a Senior Loan may receive syndication or participation fees in connection with its purchase. Other fees payable with respect to a Senior Loan, which are separate from interest payments, may include facility, commitment, amendment and prepayment fees.
 

The Fund will generally rely on the agent under a particular Senior Loan to collect the Fund’s portion of the loan payments and to use any appropriate remedies against the borrower if necessary. In addition, an institution (which may or may not be the agent) holds any collateral under the loan on behalf of the lenders. If the agent under a Senior Loan became insolvent or was declared as bankrupt or had a receiver appointed, the agent’s appointment under the Senior Loan could be terminated and a successor would be appointed. While in that case the assets held under the loan should remain available to the lenders, if those assets were determined by a court or regulatory authority to be subject to the claims of the agent’s creditors, the Fund might incur delays and costs in realizing payment on the loan, or it might suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

     Senior Loans often have restrictive covenants designed to limit the activities of the borrower in an effort to protect the right of Lenders to receive timely payments of interest on and repayment of principal of the Senior Loans. Senior loans include debt obligations of foreign borrowers that are in the form of dollar-denominated notes rather than loan agreements.

The Fund may act as one of the original lenders originating a Senior Loan, or it may purchase assignments of interests in Senior Loans, or it may invest in participation interests in Senior Loans.

The Fund may be required to pay and may receive various fees and commissions in connection with buying, selling and holding interests in Senior Loans. Borrowers typically pay a variety of fees to lenders when a Senior Loan is originated. The Fund may receive those fees directly if it acts as an original lender or if it acquires an assignment of a Senior Loan. When the Fund buys an assignment, it may be required to pay a fee to the assigning lender or forgo a portion of the interest or fees payable to it. The seller of a participation interest may deduct a portion of the interest and any fees payable to the Fund as an administrative fee. Similarly, the Fund might be required to pass along to a buyer of a Senior Loan from the Fund a portion of the fees that the Fund is entitled to.

The Fund may have obligations under a Senior Loan, including the obligation to make additional loans in certain circumstances. In that case, the Fund will reserve against that contingency by identifying on its books cash or other liquid securities in an amount equal to the obligation. The amounts identified in that manner may reduce the Fund’s income. The Fund will not purchase a Senior Loan that would require the Fund to make additional loans, if as a result of that purchase, all of the Fund’s additional loan commitments would exceed 20% of the Fund’s total assets.

·     

Acting as an Original Lender. When the Fund acts as an original lender, it participates in structuring the Senior Loan. As an original lender it will have a direct contractual relationship with the borrower and may enforce the borrower’s compliance with the terms of the loan agreement. The Fund may also have rights with respect to any funds acquired by other lenders under the Loan Agreement as a set-off against the borrower. Lenders have full voting and consent rights as to the provisions under loan agreements. Action by lender votes or consent may require approval of a specified percentage of lenders, or, in some cases, unanimous consent. The Fund will not act as the agent or collateral holder for a Senior Loan, nor as a guarantor or sole negotiator with respect to a Senior Loan.


·     

Buying Assignments of Loans. If the Fund purchases an assignment from a lender, the Fund typically will succeed to all of the rights and obligations under the loan agreement of the assigning lender and will generally become a “lender” for the purposes of the particular loan agreement. In that case, the Fund will have direct contractual rights under the loan agreement and any related collateral security documents in favor of the lenders under that loan agreement. In some cases the rights and obligations acquired by a purchaser of an assignment may differ from, and be more limited than, those held by the assigning lender.


·     

Buying Participation Interests. Participation interests may be acquired from a lender or from other holders of participation interests. If the Fund buys a participation interest from a lender or other participant, the Fund will not have a direct contractual relationship with the borrower. It will be required to rely on the lender or participant that sold the participation interest to enforce the Fund’s rights against the borrower, to collect payments due under the Senior Loan and to foreclose on collateral in the event of the borrower’s default. In that case, the Fund is subject to the credit risk of both the borrower and the selling lender or participant interposed between the borrower and the Fund under the loan (these are referred to as intermediate participants).


In the case of participation interests, the Fund might have to assert any rights it may have against the borrower through an intermediate participant if the borrower fails to pay interest and principal when due. In that case, the Fund might be subject to greater delays, risks and expenses than if the Fund could assert its rights directly against the borrower. The Fund may not have any right to vote on whether to waive enforcement of restrictive covenants breached by a borrower and might not benefit directly from collateral supporting the Senior Loan in which it has purchased a participation interest.

Also, under a participation interest the Fund might be deemed to be a creditor of the intermediate participant rather than the borrower, so that the Fund will be exposed to the credit risks of the intermediate participant. The Fund will generally invest in loans through the purchase of an assignment or participation interests that are rated “B” or higher by one or more of the ratings organizations or, if unrated, determined by OFI Institutional to be of comparable quality, although, the Fund can also invest in investments, including assignments or participation interests, rated below “B.”

      Priority of a Senior Loan.Senior Loans generally hold a senior position in the capital structure of the borrower. They may include loans that hold the most senior position, loans that hold an equal ranking with other senior debt, or loans that are, in the judgment of OFI Institutional, in the category of senior debt of the borrower. That senior position in the borrower’s capital structure generally gives the holders of Senior Loans a claim on some or all of the borrower's assets that is senior to that of subordinated debt, preferred stock and common stock of the borrower in the event that the borrower defaults or becomes bankrupt.
 

     Collateral Requirements for Senior Loans.Most, but not all, of the Senior Loans in which the Fund invests must be fully collateralized with one or more of (1) working capital assets, such as accounts receivable and inventory, (2) tangible fixed assets, such as real property, buildings and equipment, (3) intangible assets such as trademarks or patents, or (4) security interests in shares of stock of the borrower or its subsidiaries or affiliates. A loan agreement may or may not require the borrower to pledge additional collateral to secure a Senior Loan if the value of the initial collateral declines.
 
     Collateral may consist of assets that may not be readily liquidated, and there is no assurance that the liquidation of those assets would satisfy a borrower’s obligations under a Senior Loan. In the case of loans to a non-public company, the company’s shareholders or owners may provide collateral in the form of secured guarantees and/or security interests in assets that they own.
 

Equity Securities

Some of the Underlying Funds focus their investments in equity securities of U.S. and/or foreign companies. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and securities convertible into common stock. Investments in equity securities may include stocks of companies of all market capitalization ranges: small-cap, mid-cap and large-cap. Certain of the Underlying Funds emphasize equity investments in one or more capitalization ranges. Certain of the Underlying Funds pursue a “growth” investing strategy, while others pursue a “value” investing policy.

|X|     Preferred Stock. Some of the Underlying Funds may invest in preferred stock. Preferred stock, unlike common stock, has a stated dividend rate payable from the corporation's earnings. Preferred stock dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative. “Cumulative” dividend provisions require all or a portion of prior unpaid dividends to be paid before dividends can be paid on the issuer's common stock. Preferred stock may be “participating” stock, which means that it may be entitled to a dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain cases.

If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. Preferred stock may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions allowing calls or redemptions prior to maturity, which can also have a negative impact on prices when interest rates decline.

Preferred stocks are equity securities because they do not constitute a liability of the issuer and therefore do not offer the same degree of assurance of continued income as debt securities. The rights of preferred stock on distribution of a corporation’s assets in the event of a liquidation are generally subordinate to the rights associated with a corporation’s debt securities. Preferred stock generally has a preference over common stock on the distribution of a corporation's assets in the event of liquidation of the corporation.

|X|     Convertible Securities. Some of the Underlying Funds may invest in convertible securities. Convertible securities are debt securities that are convertible into an issuer’s common stock. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation’s capital structure and therefore are subject to less risk than common stock in the case of the issuer's bankruptcy or liquidation.

The value of a convertible security is a function of its “investment value” and its “conversion value.” If the investment value exceeds the conversion value, the security will behave more like a debt security and the security’s price will likely increase when prevailing interest rates fall and decrease when prevailing interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds the investment value, the security will behave more like an equity security. In that case, it will likely sell at a premium over its conversion value and its price will tend to fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying security.

While some convertible securities are a form of debt security, in certain cases their conversion feature (allowing conversion into equity securities) causes them to be regarded by the Manager more as “equity equivalents.” As a result, the credit rating assigned to the security might have less impact on the Manager’s investment decision with respect to convertible securities than in the case of non-convertible fixed-income securities. Convertible debt securities are subject to the credit risks and interest rate risks described below in “Main Risks of Debt Securities.”

To determine whether convertible securities should be regarded as “equity equivalents,” the Manager may examine the following factors:

(1)     whether, at the option of the investor, the convertible security can be exchanged for a fixed number of shares of common stock of the issuer,

(2)     whether the issuer of the convertible securities has restated its earnings per share of common stock on a fully diluted basis (considering the effect of conversion of the convertible securities), and

(3)     the extent to which the convertible security may be a defensive “equity substitute,” providing the ability to participate in any appreciation in the price of the issuer's common stock.

|X|     Rights and Warrants. Some of the Underlying Funds may invest in warrants or rights. For specific limitations on the Underlying Funds’ investments in rights and warrants, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

Warrants basically are options to purchase equity securities at specific prices valid for a specific period of time. Their prices do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying securities. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer.

|X|     Investing in Foreign Securities. Some of the Underlying Funds may invest in foreign securities. “Foreign securities” include equity and debt securities issued or guaranteed by companies organized under the laws of countries other than the United States and debt securities issued or guaranteed by governments other than the U.S. government or by foreign supra-national entities, such as the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“World Bank”). They also include securities of companies (including those that are located in the U.S. or organized under U.S. law) that derive a significant portion of their revenue or profits from foreign businesses, investments or sales, or that have a significant portion of their assets abroad. Those securities may be traded on foreign securities exchanges or in the foreign over-the-counter markets. Securities denominated in foreign currencies issued by U.S. companies are also considered to be “foreign securities.” For specific information on the type of securities that an Underlying Fund considers “foreign securities” and the limitations on the total amount of assets of the Underlying Funds that can be invested in foreign securities, refer to the prospectuses and statements of additional information for the Underlying Funds.

 

Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American Depository Receipts or that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter markets may be considered “foreign securities” for the purpose of the Underlying Funds’ investment allocations because they are subject to some of the special considerations and risks, discussed below, that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

Investing in foreign securities offers potential benefits not available from investing solely in securities of domestic issuers. They include the opportunity to invest in foreign issuers that appear to offer income potential, or in foreign countries with economic policies or business cycles different from those of the U.S., or to reduce fluctuations in portfolio value by taking advantage of foreign securities markets that do not move in a manner parallel to U.S. markets, or to benefit from the appreciation relative to the U.S. Dollar of foreign currencies in which such securities may denominated. The Underlying Funds will hold foreign currency only in connection with the purchase or sale of foreign securities.

|X|     Risks of Foreign Investing. Investments in foreign securities may offer special opportunities for investing but also present special additional risks and considerations not typically associated with investments in domestic securities. Some of these additional risks are:

·     

reduction of income by foreign taxes;


·     

fluctuation in value of foreign investments due to changes in currency, rates or currency devaluation, or currency control regulations (for example, currency blockage);


·     

transaction charges for currency exchange;


·     

lack of public information about foreign issuers;


·     

lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards in foreign countries comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers;


·     

less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;


·     

greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the U.S.;


·     

less governmental regulation of foreign issuers, securities exchanges and brokers than in the U.S.;


·     

greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;


·     

higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;


·     

increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates for portfolio securities;


·     

foreign withholding taxes;


·     

possibilities in some countries of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, political, financial or social instability or adverse diplomatic developments; and


·     

possible unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.


In the past, U.S. government policies have discouraged certain investments abroad by U.S. investors, through taxation or other restrictions, and it is possible that such restrictions could be re-imposed. Certain types of foreign securities have other particular risks. The following information describes some of the risks of particular foreign securities.

|X|      Passive Foreign Investment Companies. Under U.S. tax laws, passive foreign investment companies (“PFICs”) are those foreign corporations which generate primarily “passive” income. Passive income is defined as any income that is considered foreign personal holding company income under the Internal Revenue Code. For federal tax purposes, a foreign corporation is deemed to be a PFIC if 75% or more of its gross income during a fiscal year is passive income or if 50% or more of its assets are assets that produce, or are held to produce, passive income.

Subject to the limits under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”), some of the Underlying Funds may invest in foreign mutual funds to gain exposure to the securities of companies in countries that limit or prohibit all direct foreign investment. Foreign mutual funds are generally deemed to be PFICs, since nearly all of the income of a mutual fund is passive income. Some of the other foreign corporations that an Underlying Fund may invest in may also be considered PFICs.

Federal tax laws impose severe tax penalties for failure to properly report investment income from PFICs. The Fund makes every effort to ensure compliance with federal tax reporting of these investments, however the Fund may not realize that a foreign corporation it invests in is a PFIC for federal tax purposes.

|X|     Special Risks of Emerging and Developing Markets. Emerging and developing markets abroad may also offer special opportunities for investing but have greater risks than more developed foreign markets, such as those in Europe, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. There may be even less liquidity in their securities markets, and settlements of purchases and sales of securities may be subject to additional delays. They are subject to greater risks of limitations on the repatriation of income and profits because of currency restrictions imposed by local governments. Those countries may also be subject to the risk of greater political and economic instability, which can greatly affect the volatility of prices of securities in those countries. The Underlying Funds’ Manager will consider these factors when evaluating securities in these markets. For specific limitations on the Underlying Funds’ investments in emerging and developing markets, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

�     Settlement of Transactions. Settlement procedures in developing markets may differ from those of more established securities markets. Settlements may also be delayed by operational problems. Securities issued by developing countries and by issuers located in those countries may be subject to extended settlement periods. Delays in settlement could result in temporary periods during which a portion of an Underlying Fund’s assets is uninvested and no return is earned on those assets. The inability of an Underlying Fund to make intended purchases of securities due to settlement problems could cause an Underlying Fund to miss investment opportunities. An Underlying Fund could suffer losses from the inability to dispose of portfolio securities due to settlement problems. As a result there could be subsequent declines in the value of the portfolio security, a decrease in the level of liquidity of an Underlying Fund’s portfolio or, if an Underlying Fund has entered into a contract to sell the security, a possible liability to the purchaser.

�     Price Volatility. Securities prices in developing markets may be significantly more volatile than is the case in more developed nations of the world. In particular, countries with emerging markets may have relatively unstable governments. That presents the risk of nationalization of businesses, restrictions on foreign ownership or prohibitions of repatriation of assets. These countries may have less protection of property rights than more developed countries. The economies of developing countries may be predominantly based on only a few industries and, as such, may be highly vulnerable to changes in local or global trade conditions.

�     Less Developed Securities Markets. Developing market countries may have less well-developed securities markets and exchanges. Consequently they have lower trading volume than the securities markets of more developed countries. These markets may be unable to respond effectively to increases in trading volume. Therefore, prompt liquidation of substantial portfolio holdings may be difficult at times. As a result, these markets may be substantially less liquid than those of more developed countries, and the securities of issuers located in these markets may have limited marketability.

�     Government Restrictions. In certain developing countries, government approval may be required for the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of securities by foreign investors, such as an Underlying Fund. Also, a government might impose temporary restrictions on remitting capital abroad if the country's balance of payments deteriorates, or it might do so for other reasons. If government approval were delayed or refused, an Underlying Fund could be adversely affected. Additionally, an Underlying Fund could be adversely affected by the imposition of restrictions on investments by foreign entities.

�     Privatization Programs. The governments in some developing countries have been engaged in programs to sell all or part of their interests in government-owned or controlled enterprises. Privatization programs may offer opportunities for significant capital appreciation, and the Manager may invest Underlying Funds assets in privatization programs in what it considers to be appropriate circumstances. In certain developing countries, the ability of foreign entities such as an Underlying Fund to participate in privatization programs may be limited by local law. Additionally, the terms on which an Underlying Fund might be permitted to participate may be less advantageous than those afforded local investors. There can be no assurance that privatization programs will be successful.

|X|     Investment in Other Investment Companies. Some of the Underlying Funds can also invest in the securities of other investment companies, which can include open-end funds, closed-end funds and unit investment trusts, subject to the limits set forth in the Investment Company Act that apply to those types of investments. For example, an Underlying Fund may invest in exchange-traded funds, which are typically open-end funds or unit investment trusts, listed on a stock exchange. The Underlying Fund might do so as a way of gaining exposure to the segments of the equity or fixed-income markets represented by the exchange-traded fund’s portfolio, at times when the Underlying Fund may not be able to buy those portfolio securities directly. As a non-fundamental policy, the Underlying Funds cannot invest in the securities of other registered open-end investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on sub-paragraph (F) or (G) of section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act.

Investing in another investment company may involve the payment of substantial premiums above the value of such investment company’s portfolio securities and is subject to limitations under the Investment Company Act. The Underlying Funds do not intend to invest in other investment companies unless the Manager believes that the potential benefits of the investment justify the payment of any premiums or sales charges. As a shareholder of an investment company, an Underlying Fund would be subject to its ratable share of that investment company's expenses, including its advisory and administration expenses. For specific limitations on the Underlying Fund’s investments in securities of other investment companies, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund. The Underlying Funds do not anticipate investing a substantial amount of their net assets in shares of other investment companies.

Derivative Securities

Some of the Underlying Funds can invest in a variety of derivative investments to seek income, to seek income for liquidity needs or for hedging purposes. Some derivative investments the Underlying Funds can use are the hedging instruments described below in this Statement of Additional Information. Segregated accounts will be maintained for all derivative transactions, to the extent required by the Investment Company Act. For specific limitations, if any, on the Underlying Funds’ investments in derivatives, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

Among the derivative investments some of the Underlying Funds can invest in are “index-linked” or “currency-linked” notes. Principal and/or interest payments on index-linked notes depend on the performance of an underlying index. Currency-indexed securities are typically short-term or intermediate-term debt securities. Their value at maturity or the rates at which they pay income are determined by the change in value of the U.S. dollar against one or more foreign currencies or an index. In some cases, these securities may pay an amount at maturity based on a multiple of the amount of the relative currency movements. This type of index security offers the potential for increased income or principal payments but at a greater risk of loss than a typical debt security of the same maturity and credit quality.

Other derivative investments some of the Underlying Funds can use include “debt exchangeable for common stock” of an issuer or “equity-linked debt securities” of an issuer. At maturity, the debt security is exchanged for common stock of the issuer or it is payable in an amount based on the price of the issuer’s common stock at the time of maturity. Both alternatives present a risk that the amount payable at maturity will be less than the principal amount of the debt because the price of the issuer’s common stock might not be as high as the Underlying Funds’ manager expected.

|X|     Using Derivatives for Hedging. Many Underlying Funds can use derivative instruments for hedging, even if they do not use them in seeking their objectives, to attempt to protect against declines in the market value of the Underlying Funds’ portfolios, to permit the Underlying Fund to retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities which have appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons, those Underlying Funds could:

·     

sell futures contracts,


·     

buy puts on futures or on securities, or


·     

write covered calls on securities or futures. Covered calls may also be used to increase certain Underlying Funds’ income.


The Underlying Funds can use hedging to establish a position in the securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing particular securities. In that case, the Underlying Fund would normally seek to purchase the securities and then terminate the related hedging position. An Underlying Fund might also use this type of hedge to attempt to protect against the possibility that its portfolio securities would not be fully included in a rise in value of the market. To do so an Underlying Fund could:

·     

buy futures, or


·     

buy calls on futures or on securities.


The Underlying Funds are not obligated to use hedging instruments, even though they may be permitted to use them in the Manager’s discretion, as described below. An Underlying Fund’s strategy of hedging with futures and options on futures may be incidental to its activities in the underlying cash market. The particular hedging instruments the Underlying Funds can use are described below. The Underlying Funds may employ new derivative instruments and hedging instruments and strategies when they are developed, if those investment methods are consistent with the Underlying Funds’ investment objectives and are permissible under applicable regulations governing the Underlying Funds.

|X|     Risks of Hedging with Options and Futures. The use of hedging instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than what is required for normal portfolio management. If the Manager uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, hedging strategies may reduce the Underlying Fund’s return. The Underlying Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its futures and options positions were not correlated with its other investments.

An Underlying Fund’s option activities could affect its portfolio turnover rate and brokerage commissions. The exercise of calls written by the Underlying Fund might cause the Underlying Fund to sell related portfolio securities, thus increasing its turnover rate. The exercise by the Underlying Fund of puts on securities will cause the sale of underlying investments, increasing portfolio turnover. Although the decision whether to exercise a put it holds is within the Underlying Fund’s control, holding a put might cause the Underlying Fund to sell the related investments for reasons that would not exist in the absence of the put.

An Underlying Fund could pay a brokerage commission each time it buys a call or put, sells a call or put, or buys or sells an underlying investment in connection with the exercise of a call or put. Those commissions could be higher on a relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales of the underlying investments. Premiums paid for options are small in relation to the market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, put and call options offer large amounts of leverage. The leverage offered by trading in options could result in an Underlying Fund’s net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying investment.

If a covered call written by the Underlying Fund is exercised on an investment that has increased in value, the Underlying Fund will be required to sell the investment at the call price. It will not be able to realize any profit if the investment has increased in value above the call price.

An option position may be closed out only on a market that provides secondary trading for options of the same series, and there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option. The Underlying Fund might experience losses if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market for the future or option.

There is a risk in using short hedging by selling futures or purchasing puts on broadly-based indices or futures to attempt to protect against declines in the value of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio securities. The risk is that the prices of the futures or the applicable index will correlate imperfectly with the behavior of the cash prices of the Underlying Fund’s securities. For example, it is possible that while the Underlying Fund has used hedging instruments in a short hedge, the market might advance and the value of the securities held in the Underlying Fund’s portfolio might decline. If that occurred, the Underlying Fund would lose money on the hedging instruments and also experience a decline in the value of its portfolio securities. However, while this could occur for a very brief period or to a very small degree, over time the value of a diversified portfolio of securities will tend to move in the same direction as the indices upon which the hedging instruments are based.

The risk of imperfect correlation increases as the composition of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio diverges from the securities included in the applicable index. To compensate for the imperfect correlation of movements in the price of the portfolio securities being hedged and movements in the price of the hedging instruments, the Underlying Fund might use hedging instruments in a greater dollar amount than the dollar amount of portfolio securities being hedged. It might do so if the historical volatility of the prices of the portfolio securities being hedged is more than the historical volatility of the applicable index.

The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets are subject to distortions, due to differences in the nature of those markets. First, all participants in the futures market are subject to margin deposit and maintenance requirements. Rather than meeting additional margin deposit requirements, investors may close futures contracts through offsetting transactions which could distort the normal relationship between the cash and futures markets. Second, the liquidity of the futures market depends on participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or taking delivery. To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery, liquidity in the futures market could be reduced, thus producing distortion. Third, from the point of view of speculators, the deposit requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities markets. Therefore, increased participation by speculators in the futures market may cause temporary price distortions.

An Underlying Fund may use hedging instruments to establish a position in the securities markets as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual securities (long hedging) by buying futures and/or calls on such futures, broadly-based indices or on securities. It is possible that when an Underlying Fund does so the market might decline. If an Underlying Fund then concludes not to invest in securities because of concerns that the market might decline further or for other reasons, the Underlying Fund will realize a loss on the hedging instruments that is not offset by a reduction in the price of the securities purchased.

|X|     Futures Contracts. Some of the Underlying Funds can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to (1) broadly-based bond or other security indices (these are referred to as “financial futures”); (2) commodity contracts (these are referred to as “commodity futures”); (3) debt securities (these are referred to as “interest rate futures”); (4) foreign currencies (these are referred to as “forward contracts”); (5) individual stock (these are referred to as “single stock futures”); (6) bond indices (these are referred to as “bond index futures”); and (7) broadly-based stock indices (these are referred to as “stock index futures”). For specific information on the permitted type of futures contract for an Underlying Fund, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

A broadly-based stock index is used as the basis for trading stock index futures. In some cases, these futures may be based on stocks of issuers in a particular industry or group of industries. A stock index assigns relative values to the securities included in the index and its value fluctuates in response to the changes in value of the underlying securities. A stock index cannot be purchased or sold directly. Bond index futures are similar contracts based on the future value of the basket of securities that comprise the index. These contracts obligate the seller to deliver, and the purchaser to take, cash to settle the futures transaction. There is no delivery made of the underlying securities to settle the futures obligation. Either party may also settle the transaction by entering into an offsetting contract.

An interest rate future obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to take) cash or a specified type of debt security to settle the futures transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting contract to close out the position. Similarly, a single stock future obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to take) cash or a specified equity security to settle the futures transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting contract to close out the position. Single stock futures trade on a very limited number of exchanges, with contracts typically not fungible among the exchanges.

Certain Underlying Funds may invest a portion of their assets in commodity futures contracts. Commodity futures may be based upon commodities within five main commodity groups: (1) energy, which includes crude oil, natural gas, gasoline and heating oil; (2) livestock, which includes cattle and hogs; (3) agriculture, which includes wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, coffee, sugar and cocoa; (4) industrial metals, which includes aluminum, copper, lead, nickel, tin and zinc; and (5) precious metals, which includes gold, platinum and silver. Those Underlying Funds may purchase and sell commodity futures contracts, options on futures contracts and options and futures on commodity indices with respect to these five main commodity groups and the individual commodities within each group, as well as other types of commodities.

No payment is made or received by an Underlying Fund on the purchase or sale of a future. Upon entering into a futures transaction, an Underlying Fund will be required to deposit an initial margin payment with the futures commission merchant (the “futures broker”). Initial margin payments will be deposited with an Underlying Fund’s custodian bank in an account registered in the futures broker’s name. However, the futures broker can gain access to that account only under specified conditions. As the future is marked to market (that is, its value on an Underlying Fund’s books is changed) to reflect changes in its market value, subsequent margin payments, called variation margin, will be paid to or by the futures broker daily.

At any time prior to expiration of the future, an Underlying Fund may elect to close out its position by taking an opposite position, at which time a final determination of variation margin is made and any additional cash must be paid by or released to the Underlying Funds. Any loss or gain on the future is then realized by the Underlying Funds for tax purposes. All futures transactions, except forward contracts, are effected through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange on which the contracts are traded.

•     Leverage. There is much greater leverage in futures trading than in stocks. As a registered investment company, an Underlying Fund must pay in full for all securities it purchases. In other words, the Underlying Fund is not allowed to purchase securities on margin. However, the Underlying Fund may be allowed to purchase futures contracts on margin. The initial margin requirements are typically between 3% and 6% of the face value of the contract. That means the Underlying Fund is only required to pay up front between 3% to 6% percent of the face value of the futures contract. Therefore, the Underlying Fund has a higher degree of leverage in its futures contract purchases than in its stock purchases. As a result there may be differences in the volatility of rates of return between securities purchases and futures contract purchases, with the returns from futures contracts being more volatile.

|X|     Options. Some Underlying Funds can buy and sell certain kinds of put options (“puts”) and call options (“calls”). The Underlying Funds can buy and sell exchange-traded and over-the-counter put and call options, including index options, securities options, currency options, commodities options, and options on the other types of futures described in this Statement of Additional Information.

     Writing (Selling) Covered Call Options. Some Underlying Funds can write (that is, sell) covered calls. If an Underlying Fund sells a call option, it must be covered. That means the Underlying Fund must own the security subject to the call while the call is outstanding, or, for calls on futures and indices, the call may be covered by identifying liquid assets to enable the Underlying Fund to satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised. For specific limitations on the Underlying Funds’ investments in covered calls, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

When an Underlying Fund writes a call on a security, it receives cash (a premium). The Underlying Fund agrees to sell the underlying security to a purchaser of a corresponding call on the same security during the call period at a fixed exercise price regardless of market price changes during the call period. The call period is usually not more than nine months. The exercise price may differ from the market price of the underlying security. The Underlying Fund has the risk of loss that the price of the underlying security may decline during the call period. That risk may be offset to some extent by the premium the Underlying Fund receives. If the value of the investment does not rise above the call price, it is likely that the call will lapse without being exercised. In that case the Underlying Fund would keep the cash premium and the investment.


When the Underlying Fund writes a call on an index, it receives cash (a premium). If the buyer of the call exercises it, the Underlying Fund will pay an amount of cash equal to the difference between the closing price of the call and the exercise price, multiplied by a specified multiple that determines the total value of the call for each point of difference. If the value of the underlying investment does not rise above the call price, it is likely that the call will lapse without being exercised. In that case the Underlying Fund would keep the cash premium.
The Underlying Fund’s custodian bank, or a securities depository acting for the custodian bank, will act as the Underlying Fund’s escrow agent, through the facilities of the Options Clearing Corporation (“OCC”), as to the investments on which the Underlying Fund has written calls traded on exchanges or as to other acceptable escrow securities. In that way, no margin will be required for such transactions. OCC will release the securities on the expiration of the option or when the Underlying Fund enters into a closing transaction.
When the Underlying Fund writes an over-the-counter (“OTC”) option, it will enter into an arrangement with a primary U.S. government securities dealer which will establish a formula price at which the Underlying Fund will have the absolute right to repurchase that OTC option. The formula price will generally be based on a multiple of the premium received for the option, plus the amount by which the option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying security (that is, the option is “in the money”). When the Underlying Fund writes an OTC option, it will treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding illiquid securities) the mark-to-market value of any OTC option it holds, unless the option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.


To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, the Underlying Fund may purchase a corresponding call in a “closing purchase transaction.” The Underlying Fund will then realize a profit or loss, depending upon whether the net of the amount of the option transaction costs and the premium received on the call the Underlying Fund wrote is more or less than the price of the call the Underlying Fund purchases to close out the transaction. The Underlying Fund may realize a profit if the call expires unexercised, because the Underlying Fund will retain the underlying security and the premium it received when it wrote the call. Any such profits are considered short-term capital gains for federal income tax purposes. When distributed by the Underlying Fund they are taxable as ordinary income. If the Underlying Fund cannot effect a closing purchase transaction due to the lack of a market, it will have to hold the callable securities until the call expires or is exercised.


The Underlying Fund may also write calls on a futures contract without owning the futures contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at the time the call is written, the Underlying Fund must cover the call by identifying on it books an equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets. The Underlying Fund will identify additional liquid assets on its books to cover the call if the value of the identified assets drops below 100% of the current value of the future. Because of this asset coverage requirement, in no circumstances would the Underlying Fund's receipt of an exercise notice as to that future require the Underlying Fund to deliver a futures contract. It would simply put the Underlying Fund in a short futures position, which is permitted by the Underlying Fund’s hedging policies.

•     Writing Uncovered Call Options on Futures Contracts. Some of the Underlying Funds may write calls on a futures contract without owning the futures contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at the time the call is written, the Underlying Fund must cover the call by segregating an equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets. The Underlying Fund will segregate additional liquid assets if the value of the segregated assets drops below 100% of the current value of the future. Because of this segregation requirement, in no circumstances would the Underlying Fund receipt of an exercise notice as to that future require the Underlying Fund to deliver a futures contract. It would simply put the Underlying Fund in a short futures position, which may be permitted by the Underlying Fund’s hedging policies.

     Writing Put Options. Some Underlying Funds can sell put options on securities, broadly-based securities indices, foreign currencies and futures. A put option on securities gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying investment at the exercise price during the option period. For specific limitations on the Underlying Funds' investments in put options, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

If an Underlying Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by liquid assets identified on the Underlying Fund’s books. The premium the Underlying Fund receives from writing a put represents a profit, as long as the price of the underlying investment remains equal to or above the exercise price of the put. However, the Underlying Fund also assumes the obligation during the option period to buy the underlying investment from the buyer of the put at the exercise price, even if the value of the investment falls below the exercise price.


If a put an Underlying Fund has written expires unexercised, the Underlying Fund realizes a gain in the amount of the premium less the transaction costs incurred. If the put is exercised, the Underlying Fund must fulfill its obligation to purchase the underlying investment at the exercise price. That price will usually exceed the market value of the investment at that time. In that case, the Underlying Fund may incur a loss if it sells the underlying investment. That loss will be equal to the sum of the sale price of the underlying investment and the premium received minus the sum of the exercise price and any transaction costs the Underlying Fund incurred.


When writing a put option on a security, to secure its obligation to pay for the underlying security the Underlying Fund will deposit in escrow liquid assets with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the underlying securities. The Underlying Fund therefore forgoes the opportunity of investing the segregated assets or writing calls against those assets.
As long as the Underlying Fund’s obligation as the put writer continues, it may be assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through which the put was sold. That notice will require the Underlying Fund to take delivery of the underlying security and pay the exercise price. The Underlying Fund has no control over when it may be required to purchase the underlying security, since it may be assigned an exercise notice at any time prior to the termination of its obligation as the writer of the put. That obligation terminates upon expiration of the put. It may also terminate if, before it receives an exercise notice, the Underlying Fund effects a closing purchase transaction by purchasing a put of the same series as it sold. Once the Underlying Fund has been assigned an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction.


An Underlying Fund may decide to effect a closing purchase transaction to realize a profit on an outstanding put option it has written or to prevent the underlying security from being put. Effecting a closing purchase transaction will also permit the Underlying Fund to write another put option on the security, or to sell the security and use the proceeds from the sale for other investments. The Underlying Fund will realize a profit or loss from a closing purchase transaction depending on whether the cost of the transaction is less or more than the premium received from writing the put option. Any profits from writing puts are considered short-term capital gains for federal tax purposes, and when distributed by the Underlying Fund, are taxable as ordinary income.

     Purchasing Puts and Calls. Some Underlying Funds can buy puts on securities, broadly-based securities indices, foreign currencies and futures, whether or not they own the underlying investment. Convertible securities funds may buy only those puts that relate to stocks including stocks underlying the convertible securities that the Underlying Fund owns. When an Underlying Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium and, except as to puts on indices, has the right to sell the underlying investment to a seller of a put on a corresponding investment during the put period at a fixed exercise price.

Buying a put on securities or futures an Underlying Fund owns enables the Underlying Fund to attempt to protect itself during the put period against a decline in the value of the underlying investment below the exercise price by selling the underlying investment at the exercise price to a seller of a corresponding put. If the market price of the underlying investment is equal to or above the exercise price and, as a result, the put is not exercised or resold, the put will become worthless at its expiration date. In that case the Underlying Fund will have paid the premium but lost the right to sell the underlying investment. However, the Underlying Fund may sell the put prior to its expiration. That sale may or may not be at a profit.


Buying a put on an investment the Underlying Fund does not own (such as an index or future) permits the Underlying Fund either to resell the put or to buy the underlying investment and sell it at the exercise price. The resale price will vary inversely to the price of the underlying investment. If the market price of the underlying investment is above the exercise price and, as a result, the put is not exercised, the put will become worthless on its expiration date.

Some of the Underlying Fund can purchase calls on securities, broadly-based securities indices, foreign currencies and futures. They may do so to protect against the possibility that an Underlying Fund's portfolio will not participate in an anticipated rise in the securities market. When an Underlying Fund buys a call (other than in a closing purchase transaction), it pays a premium. The Underlying Fund then has the right to buy the underlying investment from a seller of a corresponding call on the same investment during the call period at a fixed exercise price. For specific limitations on the Underlying Fund’s investments in calls and puts, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

An Underlying Fund benefits only if it sells the call at a profit or if, during the call period, the market price of the underlying investment is above the sum of the call price plus the transaction costs and the premium paid for the call and the Underlying Fund exercises the call. If the Underlying Fund does not exercise the call or sell it (whether or not at a profit), the call will become worthless at its expiration date. In that case the Underlying Fund will have paid the premium but lost the right to purchase the underlying investment.


When an Underlying Fund purchases a put or call on an index or future, it pays a premium, but settlement is in cash rather than by delivery of the underlying investment to the Underlying Fund. Gain or loss depends on changes in the index in question (and thus on price movements in the securities market generally) rather than on price movements in individual securities or futures contracts.

     Buying and Selling Options on Foreign Currencies. Some of the Underlying Funds can buy and sell calls and puts on foreign currencies. They include puts and calls that trade on a securities or commodities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets or are quoted by major recognized dealers in such options. An Underlying Fund could use these calls and puts to try to protect against declines in the dollar value of foreign securities and increases in the dollar cost of foreign securities the Underlying Fund wants to acquire.

If their manager anticipates a rise in the dollar value of a foreign currency in which securities to be acquired are denominated, the increased cost of those securities may be partially offset by purchasing calls or writing puts on that foreign currency. If their manager anticipates a decline in the dollar value of a foreign currency, the decline in the dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in that currency might be partially offset by writing calls or purchasing puts on that foreign currency. However, the currency rates could fluctuate in a direction adverse to the Underlying Fund’s position. The Underlying Fund will then have incurred option premium payments and transaction costs without a corresponding benefit.
A call an Underlying Fund writes on a foreign currency is “covered” if the Underlying Fund owns the underlying foreign currency covered by the call or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire that foreign currency without additional cash consideration (or it can do so for additional cash consideration identified on its books) upon conversion or exchange of other foreign currency held in its portfolio.


The Underlying Fund could write a call on a foreign currency to provide a hedge against a decline in the U.S. dollar value of a security which the Underlying Fund owns or has the right to acquire and which is denominated in the currency underlying the option. That decline might be one that occurs due to an expected adverse change in the exchange rate. This is known as a “cross-hedging” strategy. In those circumstances, the Underlying Fund covers the option by maintaining and identifying cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid, high grade debt securities in an amount equal to the exercise price of the option.

•     Options on Swaps. Some of the Underlying Funds may trade options on swap contracts or “swap options.” Swap call options provide the holder of the option with the right to enter a swap contract having a specified (strike) swap formula, while swap put options provide the holder with the right to sell or terminate a swap contract. Swap options are not exchange-traded and the Underlying Fund will bear the credit risk of the option seller. Additionally, if the Underlying Fund exercises a swap call option with the option seller, the credit risk of the counterparty is extended to include the term of the swap agreement.

|X|     Forward Contracts. Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange contracts. They are used to buy or sell foreign currency for future delivery at a fixed price. An Underlying Fund may use them to “lock in” the U.S. dollar price of a security denominated in a foreign currency that an Underlying Fund has bought or sold, or to protect against possible losses from changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and a foreign currency. An Underlying Fund may also use “cross-hedging” where an Underlying Fund hedges against changes in currencies other than the currency in which a security it holds is denominated.

Under a forward contract, one party agrees to purchase, and another party agrees to sell, a specific currency at a future date. That date may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties. The transaction price is set at the time the contract is entered into. These contracts are traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly among currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.

An Underlying Fund may use forward contracts to protect against uncertainty in the level of future exchange rates. The use of forward contracts does not eliminate the risk of fluctuations in the prices of the underlying securities an Underlying Fund owns or intends to acquire, but it does fix a rate of exchange in advance. Although forward contracts may reduce the risk of loss from a decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time they limit any potential gain if the value of the hedged currency increases.

When an Underlying Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency, or when it anticipates receiving dividend payments in a foreign currency, the Underlying Fund might desire to “lock-in” the U.S. dollar price of the security or the U.S. dollar equivalent of the dividend payments. To do so, the Underlying Fund could enter into a forward contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in the underlying transaction, in a fixed amount of U.S. dollars per unit of the foreign currency. This is called a “transaction hedge.” The transaction hedge will protect the Underlying Fund against a loss from an adverse change in the currency exchange rates during the period between the date on which the security is purchased or sold or on which the payment is declared, and the date on which the payments are made or received.

An Underlying Fund could also use forward contracts to lock in the U.S. dollar value of portfolio positions. This is called a “position hedge.” When an Underlying Fund believes that foreign currency might suffer a substantial decline against the U.S. dollar, it could enter into a forward contract to sell an amount of that foreign currency approximating the value of some or all of an Underlying Fund’s portfolio securities denominated in that foreign currency. When an Underlying Fund believes that the U.S. dollar might suffer a substantial decline against a foreign currency, it could enter into a forward contract to buy that foreign currency for a fixed dollar amount. Alternatively, the Underlying Fund could enter into a forward contract to sell a different foreign currency for a fixed U.S. dollar amount if the Underlying Fund believes that the U.S. dollar value of the foreign currency to be sold pursuant to its forward contract will fall whenever there is a decline in the U.S. dollar value of the currency in which portfolio securities of the Underlying Fund are denominated. That is referred to as a “cross hedge.”

An Underlying Fund will cover its short positions in these cases by identifying on its books assets having a value equal to the aggregate amount of the Underlying Fund’s commitment under forward contracts. An Underlying Fund will not enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if the consummation of the contracts would obligate the Underlying Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the Underlying Fund's portfolio securities or other assets denominated in that currency or another currency that is the subject of the hedge.

However, to avoid excess transactions and transaction costs, an Underlying Fund may maintain a net exposure to forward contracts in excess of the value of the Underlying Fund’s portfolio securities or other assets denominated in foreign currencies if the excess amount is “covered” by liquid securities denominated in any currency. The cover must be at least equal at all times to the amount of that excess. As one alternative, an Underlying Fund may purchase a call option permitting the Underlying Fund to purchase the amount of foreign currency being hedged by a forward sale contract at a price no higher than the forward contract price. As another alternative, an Underlying Fund may purchase a put option permitting the Underlying Fund to sell the amount of foreign currency subject to a forward purchase contract at a price as high or higher than the forward contract price.

The precise matching of the amounts under forward contracts and the value of the securities involved generally will not be possible because the future value of securities denominated in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements between the date the forward contract is entered into and the date it is sold. In some cases the Underlying Fund's manager might decide to sell the security and deliver foreign currency to settle the original purchase obligation. If the market value of the security is less than the amount of foreign currency an Underlying Fund is obligated to deliver, the Underlying Fund might have to purchase additional foreign currency on the “spot” (that is, cash) market to settle the security trade. If the market value of the security instead exceeds the amount of foreign currency an Underlying Fund is obligated to deliver to settle the trade, the Underlying Fund might have to sell on the spot market some of the foreign currency received upon the sale of the security. There will be additional transaction costs on the spot market in those cases.

The projection of short-term currency market movements is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. Forward contracts involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, causing the Underlying Fund to sustain losses on these contracts and to pay additional transactions costs. The use of forward contracts in this manner might reduce the Underlying Fund’s performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency prices to a greater degree than if the Underlying Fund had not entered into such contracts.

At or before the maturity of a forward contract requiring an Underlying Fund to sell a currency, the Underlying Fund might sell a portfolio security and use the sale proceeds to make delivery of the currency. In the alternative the Underlying Fund might retain the security and offset its contractual obligation to deliver the currency by purchasing a second contract. Under that contract the Underlying Fund will obtain, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the currency that it is obligated to deliver. Similarly, the Underlying Fund might close out a forward contract requiring it to purchase a specified currency by entering into a second contract entitling it to sell the same amount of the same currency on the maturity date of the first contract. The Underlying Fund would realize a gain or loss as a result of entering into such an offsetting forward contract under either circumstance. The gain or loss will depend on the extent to which the exchange rate or rates between the currencies involved moved between the execution dates of the first contract and offsetting contract.

The costs to the Underlying Fund of engaging in forward contracts varies with factors such as the currencies involved, the length of the contract period and the market conditions then prevailing. Because forward contracts are usually entered into on a principal basis, no brokerage fees or commissions are involved. Because these contracts are not traded on an exchange, the Underlying Fund must evaluate the credit and performance risk of the counterparty under each forward contract.

Although the Underlying Funds value their assets daily in terms of U.S. dollars, they do not intend to convert their holdings of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars on a daily basis. The Underlying Funds may convert foreign currency from time to time, and will incur costs in doing so. Foreign exchange dealers do not charge a fee for conversion, but they do seek to realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they buy and sell various currencies. Thus, a dealer might offer to sell a foreign currency to the Underlying Funds at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange if the Underlying Funds desire to resell that currency to the dealer.

|X|     Interest Rate Swap Transactions. Some of the Underlying Funds can enter into interest rate swap agreements. In an interest rate swap, an Underlying Fund and another party exchange their right to receive or their obligation to pay interest on a security. For example, they might swap the right to receive floating rate payments for fixed rate payments. An Underlying Funds can enter into swaps only on securities that it owns. The Underlying Fund will identify on its books liquid assets (such as cash or U.S. government securities) to cover any amounts it could owe under swaps that exceed the amounts it is entitled to receive, and it will adjust that amount daily, as needed. For specific limitations on the Underlying Funds’ investments in interest rate swap transactions, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

Swap agreements entail both interest rate risk and credit risk. There is a risk that, based on movements of interest rates in the future, the payments made by an Underlying Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments it received. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, the Underlying Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual interest payments that the Fund has not yet received. The Underlying Funds’ manager will monitor the creditworthiness of counterparties to the Underlying Funds’ interest rate swap transactions on an ongoing basis.

Some Underlying Funds can enter into swap transactions with certain counterparties pursuant to master netting agreements. A master netting agreement provides that all swaps done between those Underlying Funds and that counterparty shall be regarded as parts of an integral agreement. If amounts are payable on a particular date in the same currency in respect of one or more swap transactions, the amount payable on that date in that currency shall be the net amount. In addition, the master netting agreement may provide that if one party defaults generally or on one swap, the counterparty may terminate all of the swaps with that party. Under these agreements, if a default results in a loss to one party, the measure of that party’s damages is calculated by reference to the average cost of a replacement swap for each swap. It is measured by the mark-to-market value at the time of the termination of each swap. The gains and losses on all swaps are then netted, and the result is the counterparty’s gain or loss on termination. The termination of all swaps and the netting of gains and losses on termination is generally referred to as “aggregation.”

|X|     Swaps. A swap contract is essentially like a portfolio of forward contracts, under which one party agrees to exchange an asset (for example, bushels of wheat) for another asset (cash) at specified dates in the future. A one-period swap contract operates in a manner similar to a forward or futures contract because there is an agreement to swap a commodity for cash at only one forward date. Some of the Underlying Funds may engage in swap transactions that have more than one period and therefore more than one exchange of assets.

·     

Lack of Liquidity. Although the swap market is well-developed for primary participants, there is only a limited secondary market. Swaps are not traded or listed on an exchange and over-the-counter trading of existing swap contracts is limited. Therefore, if the Underlying Fund wishes to sell its swap contract to a third party, it may not be able to do so at a favorable price.


·     

Regulatory Risk. Qualifying swap transactions are excluded from regulation under the Act and the regulations adopted thereunder. See Appendix E to this SAI. Additionally, swap contracts have not been determined to be securities under the rules promulgated by the SEC. Consequently, swap contracts are not regulated by either the CFTC or the SEC, and swap participants may not be afforded the protections of the Commodity Exchange Act or the federal securities laws.


To reduce this risk, an Underlying Fund will only enter into swap agreements with counterparties who use standard International Swap and Dealers Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) contract documentation. ISDA establishes industry standards for the documentation of swap agreements. Virtually all principal swap participants use ISDA documentation because it has an established set of definitions, contract terms, and counterparty obligations.

ISDA documentation also includes a “master netting agreement” which provides that all swaps transacted between the Underlying Fund and a counterparty under the master agreement shall be regarded as parts of an integral agreement. If, on any date, amounts are payable in the same currency in respect of one or more swap transactions, the net amount payable on that date in that currency shall be paid. In addition, the master netting agreement may provide that if one party defaults generally or on one swap, the counterparty may terminate the remaining swaps with that party. Under such agreements, if there is a default resulting in a loss to one party, the measure of that party’s damages is calculated by reference to the average cost of a replacement swap with respect to each swap (i.e., the mark-to-market value at the time of the termination of each swap). The gains and losses on all swaps are then netted, and the result is the counterparty’s gain or loss on termination. The termination of all swaps and the netting of gains and losses on termination is generally referred to as “aggregation.”

|X|     Total Return Swap Transactions. Some of the Underlying Funds may enter into total return swaps. For specific limitations on the Underlying Funds’ investments in total return swaps, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund. A swap contract is essentially like a portfolio of forward contracts, under which one party agrees to exchange an asset (for example, bushels of wheat) for another asset (cash) at specified dates in the future. A one-period swap contract operates in a manner similar to a forward or futures contract because there is an agreement to swap a commodity for cash at only one forward date. The Underlying Funds may engage in swap transactions that have more than one period and therefore more than one exchange of assets.

The Underlying Funds may invest in total return swaps to gain exposure to the overall commodity markets. In a total return commodity swap the Underlying Funds will receive the price appreciation of a commodity index, a portion of the index, or a single commodity in exchange for paying an agreed-upon fee. If the commodity swap is for one period, the Underlying Funds will pay a fixed fee, established at the outset of the swap. However, if the term of the commodity swap is more than one period, with interim swap payments, the Underlying Funds will pay an adjustable or floating fee. With a “floating” rate, the fee is pegged to a base rate such as the LIBOR, and is adjusted each period. Therefore, if interest rates increase over the term of the swap contract, the Underlying Funds may be required to pay a higher fee at each swap reset date.

•     Price Risk. Total return commodity swaps expose the Underlying Funds to the price risk of the underlying commodity, index, futures contract or economic variable. If the price of the underlying commodity or index increases in value during the term of the swap, the Underlying Fund will receive the price appreciation. However, if the price of the commodity or index declines in value during the term of the swap, the Underlying Fund will be required to pay to its counterparty the amount of the price depreciation. The amount of the price depreciation paid by the Underlying Fund to its counterparty would be in addition to the financing fee paid by the Underlying Fund to the same counterparty.

|X|     Swaption Transactions. Some of the Underlying Funds may enter into a swaption transaction, which is a contract that grants the holder, in return for payment of the purchase price (the “premium”) of the option, the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap at a preset rate within a specified period of time, with the writer of the contract. The writer of the contract receives the premium and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset rate on the underlying interest rate swap. Unrealized gains/losses on swaptions are reflected in investment assets and investment liabilities in the Underlying Funds’ statement of financial condition.

|X|     Credit Derivatives. Some of the Underlying Funds may enter into credit default swaps, both directly (“unfunded swaps”) and indirectly in the form of a swap embedded within a structured note (“funded swaps”), to protect against the risk that a security will default. Unfunded and funded credit default swaps may be on a single security, or on a basket of securities. An Underlying Fund pays a fee to enter into the swap and receives a fixed payment during the life of the swap. An Underlying Fund may take a short position in the credit default swap (also known as “buying credit protection”), or may take a long position in the credit default swap note (also known as “selling credit protection”).

An Underlying Fund would take a short position in a credit default swap (the “unfunded swap”) against a long portfolio position to decrease exposure to specific high yield issuers. If the short credit default swap is against a corporate issue, the Underlying Fund must own that corporate issue. However, if the short credit default swap is against sovereign debt, the Underlying Fund may own either: (i) the reference obligation, (ii) any sovereign debt of that foreign country, or (iii) sovereign debt of any country that its manager determines is closely correlated as an inexact bona fide hedge.

If an Underlying Fund takes a short position in the credit default swap, if there is a credit event (including bankruptcy, failure to timely pay interest or principal, or a restructuring), the Underlying Fund will deliver the defaulted bonds and the swap counterparty will pay the par amount of the bonds. An associated risk is adverse pricing when purchasing bonds to satisfy the delivery obligation. If the swap is on a basket of securities, the notional amount of the swap is reduced by the par amount of the defaulted bond, and the fixed payments are then made on the reduced notional amount.

Taking a long position in the credit default swap note (i.e., purchasing the “funded swap”) would increase the Underlying Fund’s exposure to specific high yield corporate issuers. The goal would be to increase liquidity in that market sector via the swap note and its associated increase in the number of trading instruments, the number and type of market participants, and market capitalization.

If an Underlying Fund takes a long position in the credit default swap note, if there is a credit event the Underlying Fund will pay the par amount of the bonds and the swap counterparty will deliver the bonds. If the swap is on a basket of securities, the notional amount of the swap is reduced by the par amount of the defaulted bond, and the fixed payments are then made on the reduced notional amount.

Other risks of credit default swaps include the cost of paying for credit protection if there are no credit events, pricing transparency when assessing the cost of a credit default swap, counterparty risk, and the need to fund the delivery obligation (either cash or the defaulted bonds, depending on whether the Underlying Fund is long or short the swap, respectively). For specific limitations on the Underlying Funds’ investments in credit derivatives, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

However, with a hybrid instrument, the Underlying Fund will take on the counterparty credit risk of the issuer. That is, at maturity of the hybrid instrument, there is a risk that the issuer may be unable to perform its obligations under the structured note. Issuers of hybrid instruments are typically large money center banks, broker-dealers, other financial institutions and large corporations. To minimize this risk the Underlying Fund will transact, to the extent possible, with issuers who have an investment-grade credit rating from a NRSRO.

|X|     Structured Notes. Some of the Underlying Funds can buy “structured” notes, which are specially-designed derivative debt investments with principal payments or interest payments that are linked to the value of an index (such as a currency or securities index) or commodity. The terms of the instrument may be “structured” by the purchaser (the Underlying Fund) and the borrower issuing the note.

The principal and/or interest payments depend on the performance of one or more other securities or indices, and the values of these notes will therefore fall or rise in response to the changes in the values of the underlying security or index. They are subject to both credit and interest rate risks and therefore the Underlying Fund could receive more or less than it originally invested when the notes mature, or it might receive less interest than the stated coupon payment if the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated. Their values may be very volatile and they may have a limited trading market, making it difficult for the Underlying Fund to sell its investment at an acceptable price.

|X|     Regulatory Aspects of Certain Derivative Instruments. The CFTC has eliminated limitations on futures trading by certain regulated entities including registered investment companies and consequently registered investment companies may engage in unlimited futures transactions and options thereon provided that the Underlying Fund claims an exclusion from regulation as a commodity pool operator. The Underlying Funds have claimed such an exclusion from registration as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act (“CEA”). The Underlying Funds may use futures and options for hedging and non-hedging purposes to the extent consistent with their investment objective, internal risk management guidelines adopted by the Underlying Funds’ investment adviser (as they may be amended from time to time), and as otherwise set forth in the Underlying Fund’s prospectus or this SAI.

Transactions in options by the Underlying Funds are subject to limitations established by the option exchanges. The exchanges limit the maximum number of options that may be written or held by a single investor or group of investors acting in concert. Those limits apply regardless of whether the options were written or purchased on the same or different exchanges or are held in one or more accounts or through one or more different exchanges or through one or more brokers. Thus, the number of options that the Underlying Funds may write or hold may be affected by options written or held by other entities, including other investment companies having the same advisor as the Underlying Funds (or an advisor that is an affiliate of the Underlying Funds’ advisor). The exchanges also impose position limits on futures transactions. An exchange may order the liquidation of positions found to be in violation of those limits and may impose certain other sanctions.

Under SEC staff interpretations regarding applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, when an Underlying Fund purchases a future, it must segregate cash or readily marketable short-term debt instruments in an amount equal to the purchase price of the future, less the margin deposit applicable to it. The account must be a segregated account or accounts held by the Underlying Fund.

|X|     Tax Aspects of Certain Derivative Instruments. Certain foreign currency exchange contracts in which the Underlying Funds may invest are treated as “Section 1256 contracts” under the Internal Revenue Code. In general, gains or losses relating to Section 1256 contracts are characterized as 60% long-term and 40% short-term capital gains or losses under the Code. However, foreign currency gains or losses arising from Section 1256 contracts that are forward contracts generally are treated as ordinary income or loss. In addition, Section 1256 contracts held by the Underlying Funds at the end of each taxable year are “marked-to-market,” and unrealized gains or losses are treated as though they were realized. These contracts also may be marked-to-market for purposes of determining the excise tax applicable to investment company distributions and for other purposes under rules prescribed pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code. An election can be made by the Underlying Funds to exempt those transactions from this marked-to-market treatment.

Certain forward contracts the Underlying Funds enter into may result in “straddles” for federal income tax purposes. The straddle rules may affect the character and timing of gains (or losses) recognized by the Underlying Funds on straddle positions. Generally, a loss sustained on the disposition of a position making up a straddle is allowed only to the extent that the loss exceeds any unrecognized gain in the offsetting positions making up the straddle. Disallowed loss is generally allowed at the point where there is no unrecognized gain in the offsetting positions making up the straddle, or the offsetting position is disposed of.

Under the Internal Revenue Code, the following gains or losses are treated as ordinary income or loss:

(1)     gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates that occur between the time the Underlying Funds accrue interest or other receivables or accrue expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the time the Underlying Funds actually collect such receivables or pay such liabilities, and

(2)     gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of a foreign currency between the date of acquisition of a debt security denominated in a foreign currency or foreign currency forward contracts and the date of disposition.

Currency gains and losses are offset against market gains and losses on each trade before determining a net “Section 988” gain or loss under the Internal Revenue Code for that trade, which may increase or decrease the amount of the Underlying Funds’ investment income available for distribution to its shareholders.

Other Investments and Investment Strategies

In seeking their investment objectives, certain Underlying Funds may from time to time use the types of investments and investment strategies described below. The Underlying Funds are not required to use these strategies, and may not use any or all of them.
 

|X|     Repurchase Agreements. Some of the Underlying Funds can acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements. An Underlying Fund might do so for liquidity purposes to meet anticipated redemptions of Fund shares, or pending the investment of the proceeds from sales of Fund shares, or pending the settlement of portfolio securities transactions, or for temporary defensive purposes.

In a repurchase transaction, an Underlying Fund buys a security from, and simultaneously resells it to, an approved vendor for delivery on an agreed-upon future date. The resale price exceeds the purchase price by an amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate effective for the period during which the repurchase agreement is in effect. Approved vendors include U.S. commercial banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks, or broker-dealers that have been designated as primary dealers in government securities. They must meet credit requirements set by the Underlying Fund’s Manager from time to time.

The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery pursuant to the resale typically occurs within one to five days of the purchase. Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are subject to an Underlying Fund’s limits on holding illiquid investments. There is generally no limit on the amount of the Underlying Funds’ net assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements having maturities of seven days or less for defensive purposes. For specific limitations on the Underlying Funds’ investments in securities subject to repurchase agreements, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

Repurchase agreements, considered “loans” under the Investment Company Act are collateralized by the underlying security. The Underlying Funds’ repurchase agreements require that at all times while the repurchase agreement is in effect, the value of the collateral must equal or exceed the repurchase price to fully collateralize the repayment obligation. However, if the vendor fails to pay the resale price on the delivery date, the Underlying Funds may incur costs in disposing of the collateral and may experience losses if there is any delay in its ability to do so. The Underlying Funds’ manager will monitor the vendor’s creditworthiness to confirm that the vendor is financially sound and will continuously monitor the collateral's value.

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Underlying Funds, along with other affiliated entities managed by their manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint repurchase accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. government securities. Securities that are pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each joint repurchase arrangement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention or sale of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

|X|     When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. Some of the Underlying Funds may invest in securities on a “when-issued” basis and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed-delivery” basis. When-issued and delayed-delivery are terms that refer to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. For specific limitations on the Underlying Fund's investments in “when-issued” and “delayed-delivery” transactions, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

When such transactions are negotiated, the price (which is generally expressed in yield terms) is fixed at the time the commitment is made. Delivery and payment for the securities take place at a later date. The securities are subject to change in value from market fluctuations during the period until settlement. The value at delivery may be less than the purchase price. For example, changes in interest rates in a direction other than that expected by the Manager before settlement will affect the value of such securities and may cause a loss to an Underlying Fund. During the period between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by an Underlying Fund to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Underlying Fund from the investment until it receives the security at settlement. There is a risk of loss to the Underlying Fund if the value of the security changes prior to the settlement date, and there is the risk that the other party may not perform.

Some of the Underlying Funds may engage in when-issued transactions to secure what the Manager considers to be an advantageous price and yield at the time the obligation is entered into. When an Underlying Fund enters into a when-issued or delayed-delivery transaction, it relies on the other party to complete the transaction. Its failure to do so may cause an Underlying Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain the security at a price and yield its manager considers to be advantageous.

When an Underlying Fund engages in when-issued and delayed-delivery transactions, it does so for the purpose of acquiring or selling securities consistent with its investment objective and policies or for delivery pursuant to options contracts it has entered into, and not for the purpose of investment leverage. Although an Underlying Fund will enter into delayed-delivery or when-issued purchase transactions to acquire securities, it may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement. If an Underlying Fund chooses to dispose of the right to acquire a when-issued security prior to its acquisition or to dispose of its right to delivery or receive against a forward commitment, it may incur a gain or loss.

At the time an Underlying Fund makes the commitment to purchase or sell a security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it records the transaction on its books and reflects the value of the security purchased in determining its net asset value. In a sale transaction, it records the proceeds to be received. An Underlying Fund will identify on its books liquid assets at least equal in value to the value of its purchase commitments until it pays for the investment.

When-issued and delayed-delivery transactions can be used by an Underlying Fund as a defensive technique to hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates and prices. For instance, in periods of rising interest rates and falling prices, an Underlying Fund might sell securities in its portfolio on a forward commitment basis to attempt to limit its exposure to anticipated falling prices. In periods of falling interest rates and rising prices, an Underlying Fund might sell portfolio securities and purchase the same or similar securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis to obtain the benefit of currently higher cash yields.

|X|     Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may lend its portfolio securities pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the “Securities Lending Agreement”) with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending (“Goldman Sachs”), subject to the restrictions stated in the Prospectus. The Fund will lend portfolio securities to attempt to increase its income. Goldman Sachs has agreed, in general, to guarantee the obligations of borrowers to return loaned securities and to be responsible for certain expenses relating to securities lending. Under the Securities Lending Agreement, the Fund's securities lending procedures and applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the Fund must receive collateral from the borrower consisting of cash, bank letters of credit or securities of the U.S. Government (or its agencies or instrumentalities). On each business day, the amount of collateral that the Fund has received must at least equal the value of the loaned securities. If the Fund receives cash collateral from the borrower, the Fund may invest that cash in certain high quality, short-term investments, including money market funds advised by the Manager, specified in its securities lending procedures. The Fund will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including the risk that the Fund may lose money on the investment or may fail to earn sufficient income to meet its obligations to the borrower.

The terms of the Fund’s portfolio loans must comply with all applicable regulations and with the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures adopted by the Board. The terms of the loans must permit the Fund to recall loaned securities on five business days’ notice and the Fund will seek to recall loaned securities in time to vote on any matters that the Manager determines would have a material effect on the Fund’s investment. The Securities Lending Agreement may be terminated by either Goldman Sachs or the Fund on 30 days’ written notice.

To raise cash for income or liquidity purposes, the Underlying Funds may also lend their portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other types of financial institutions approved by each Underlying Fund’s Board of Trustees or Directors. For specific limitations on the Underlying Fund’s loans of portfolio securities, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund.

|X|     Borrowing for Leverage. The Fund and many of the Underlying Funds have the ability to borrow from banks, to invest the borrowed funds in portfolio securities. This speculative technique is known as “leverage.” Currently, under the Investment Company Act, absent exemptive relief, a mutual fund may borrow only from banks and the maximum amount it may borrow is up to one-third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed) less all liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowing, except that a fund may borrow up to 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes from any person. Under the Investment Company Act, there is a rebuttable presumption that a loan is temporary if it is repaid within 60 days and not extended or renewed. If the value of the Fund’s or the Underlying Funds’ assets fail to meet the 300% asset coverage requirement, the Fund or the Underlying Funds will reduce their bank debt within three days to meet the requirement. To do so, the Fund or the Underlying Funds might have to sell a portion of their investments at a disadvantageous time.

The Fund or the Underlying Funds will pay interest on their borrowings, and that interest expense will raise the overall expenses of the Fund or the Underlying Funds and reduce their returns. If they do borrow, their expenses will be greater than comparable funds that do not borrow for leverage. Additionally, the Fund or the Underlying Funds’ net asset values per share might fluctuate more than that of funds that do not borrow.

|X|     Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Under the policies and procedures established the Boards of Trustees/Directors of the Fund and each Underlying, the Manager determines the liquidity of certain of an Underlying Fund’s investments. To enable the Fund or an Underlying Fund to sell its holdings of a restricted security not registered under applicable securities laws, the Fund or the Underlying Fund may have to cause those securities to be registered. The expenses of registering restricted securities may be negotiated with the issuer at the time the Fund or the Underlying Fund buys the securities. When the Fund or Underlying Fund must arrange registration because it wishes to sell the security, a considerable period may elapse between the time the decision is made to sell the security and the time the security is registered so that the Fund or Underlying Fund could sell it. The Fund or Underlying Fund would bear the risks of any downward price fluctuation during that period.

The Fund or Underlying Fund may also acquire restricted securities through private placements. Those securities have contractual restrictions on their public resale. Those restrictions may make it more difficult to value them, and might limit the ability to dispose of the securities and might lower the amount the Fund or Underlying Fund could realize upon the sale.

The Fund and the Underlying Funds have limitations that apply to purchases of restricted securities, as stated in their prospectuses. Those percentage restrictions generally do not limit purchases of restricted securities that are eligible for sale to qualified institutional purchasers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if those securities have been determined to be liquid by the Manager under Board-approved guidelines. Those guidelines take into account the trading activity for such securities and the availability of reliable pricing information, among other factors. If there is a lack of trading interest in a particular Rule 144A security, holdings of that security may be considered to be illiquid.

Illiquid securities generally include repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days and participation interests that do not have puts exercisable within seven days.

|X|     Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. When market, economic or political conditions are unstable, or the Fund’s or the Underlying Funds’ Manager believes it is otherwise appropriate to reduce holdings in stocks, the Fund and the Underlying Funds may invest in a variety of debt securities for defensive purposes. The Fund and the Underlying Funds may also purchase these securities for liquidity purposes to meet cash needs due to the redemption of the Fund or an Underlying Fund, or to hold while waiting to reinvest cash received from the sale of other portfolio securities. For specific types of securities an Underlying Fund can buy when assuming a temporary defensive or interim investment position, refer to the Statement of Additional Information for each Underlying Fund. Examples of temporary defensive and interim investments the Fund may use, and that some of the Underlying Funds may use, include:

·     

high-quality (rated in the top two rating categories of nationally-recognized rating organizations or deemed by the Manager to be of comparable quality), short-term money market instruments, including those issued by the U.S. Treasury or other government agencies,


·     

commercial paper (short-term, unsecured, promissory notes of domestic or foreign companies),


·     

short-term debt obligations of corporate issuers,


·     

certificates of deposit and bankers’ acceptances of domestic and foreign banks and savings and loan associations, and


·     

repurchase agreements.


These short-term debt securities would be selected for defensive or cash management purposes because they can normally be disposed of quickly, are not generally subject to significant fluctuations in principal value and their value will be less subject to interest rate risk than longer-term debt securities.

Portfolio Turnover

“Portfolio turnover” describes the rate at which the Fund and the Underlying Funds trade their portfolio securities. For example, if the Fund or Underlying Funds sold all of their securities during a one year period, their portfolio turnover rate would be 100%. The Fund’s and Underlying Funds’ portfolio turnover rates will fluctuate from year to year. It is not anticipated that the Fund will have a high portfolio turnover rate, however, the Underlying Funds may have a portfolio turnover rate of more than 100% annually.

Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Underlying Funds, which may reduce their overall performance. Most of the Fund’s portfolio transactions, however, should involve trades in the Underlying Funds that do not entail brokerage commissions. The realization of capital gains from selling portfolio securities may result in distributions of taxable long-term capital gains to shareholders. The Fund and the Underlying Funds will normally distribute all of the capital gains they realize each year to avoid excise taxes under the Internal Revenue Code.

Investment Restrictions

The Fund and the Underlying Funds each have their own “fundamental” and “non-fundamental” investment restrictions as described below. Certain of those restrictions apply only to the extent required by the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom. If the applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations or any exemption should change, those restrictions will automatically reflect the new requirements. Therefore the effect of those fundamental policies may change without notice and without a shareholder vote.

Unless the Prospectus or SAI states that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time the Fund makes an investment (except in the case of borrowing and investments in illiquid securities). In that case the Fund or Underlying Fund need not sell securities to meet the percentage limits, even if the value of that investment increases in proportion to the size of its assets.

|X|     What Are “Fundamental Policies?” Fundamental policies are those policies of the Fund or Underlying Fund that can be changed only by the vote of a “majority” of such fund's outstanding voting securities. Under the Investment Company Act, a “majority” vote is defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

·     

67% or more of the shares present or represented by proxy at a shareholder meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or


·     

more than 50% of the outstanding shares.


The Fund’s investment objective is not a fundamental policy. The investment objectives of the Underlying Funds may be fundamental or non-fundamental, according to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of each Underlying Fund. Other policies described in the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information, of the Fund and/or the Underlying Funds, are “fundamental” only if they are identified as such. The Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees and each Underlying Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees can change non-fundamental policies without shareholder approval. However, significant changes to the Fund’s investment policies will be described in supplements or updates to the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information, as appropriate. The Fund’s principal investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

Does the Fund Have Additional Fundamental Policies? The following investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund:

·     

The Fund cannot buy securities or other instruments issued or guaranteed by any one issuer if more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in securities or other instruments of that issuer or if it would then own more than 10% of that issuer’s voting securities. This limitation applies to 75% of the Fund’s total assets. The limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or securities of other investment companies. For purposes of this restriction, the Fund's investments will be considered be its pro rata portion of each Underlying Fund’s portfolio securities.


·     

The Fund cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one industry or in a group of related industries. That limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities or to securities issued by investment companies.


·     

The Fund may not borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.


·     

The Fund cannot make loans, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.


·     

The Fund cannot purchase real estate or commodities; however, the Fund may use commodity contracts approved by its Board.


·     

The Fund cannot issue senior securities, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.


·     

The Fund may not underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that such Fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, as amended, when reselling securities held in its own portfolio.


Currently, under the Investment Company Act, and the Oppenheimer funds’ exemptive order, the Fund may borrow only from banks and/or affiliated investment companies in an amount up to one-third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed less all liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowing), except that the Fund may borrow up to 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes from any person. Under the Investment Company Act, there is a rebuttable presumption that a loan is temporary if it is repaid within 60 days and not extended or renewed. Also, presently under the Investment Company Act, the Fund may lend its portfolio securities in an amount not to exceed 33 1/3 percent of the value of its total assets. The Investment Company Act also requires each registered fund to adopt a fundamental policy regarding investments in real estate and/or commodities. To the extent that the Fund or an Underlying Fund has restrictions on or not permitted to invest in real estate, real estate related securities and/or commodities, that information is set out in the investment restrictions in this section. Presently, under the Investment Company Act a registered mutual fund cannot make any commitment as an underwriter, if immediately thereafter the amount of its outstanding underwriting commitments, plus the value of its investments in securities of issuers (other than investment companies) of which it owns more than ten percent of the outstanding voting securities, exceeds twenty-five percent of the value of the fund’s total assets, except to the extent that a fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act when reselling securities held in its own portfolio.

Does the Fund Have Any Restrictions That Are Not Fundamental? The Fund has investment restrictions that are not fundamental policies, which means that they can be changed by vote of a majority the Fund’s Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. The following investment restriction is a non-fundamental policy of the Fund:

·     

The Fund may not invest in illiquid securities, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time. This restriction shall not apply to securities that mature within seven days or securities that the Board of Directors of the Fund has otherwise determined to be liquid pursuant to applicable law.


Currently, under the Investment Company Act, a mutual fund cannot invest in illiquid securities (i.e., securities that cannot be readily resold or that cannot otherwise be marketed, redeemed or put to the issuer or a third party), if more than 15% of its net assets would be invested in such securities. The shares of the Underlying Funds are not illiquid investments under the Fund’s policies or the applicable Investment Company Act rules and regulations.

Do the Underlying Funds Have Fundamental Policies? Each of the Underlying Funds has its own fundamental policies. Those policies may differ from the fundamental policies of the Fund or the other Underlying Funds. The Fund and the Underlying Funds each apply their own policies with respect to their own portfolio investments. The following investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Underlying Funds:
 

Champion Income Fund

·     

Champion Income Fund cannot buy securities issued or guaranteed by any one issuer if more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or if it would then own more than 10% of that issuer’s voting securities. That restriction applies to 75% of Champion Income Fund’s total assets. The limit does not apply to securities issued by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or securities of other investment companies.


·     

Champion Income Fund cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one industry. That limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities. Under this policy, utilities are divided into “industries” according to the services they provide (for example, gas, gas transmission, electric and telephone utilities will be considered to be in separate industries). Champion Income Fund can invest more than 25% in a group of industries.


·     

Champion Income Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33 •% of the value of its total assets. Champion Income Fund may only borrow from banks and/or affiliated investment companies and only as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes. Champion Income Fund cannot make any investment at a time during which its borrowings exceed 5% of the value of its total assets. With respect to this fundamental policy, Champion Income Fund can borrow only if it maintains a 300% ratio of assets to borrowings at all times in the manner set forth in the Investment Company Act.


·     

Champion Income Fund cannot make loans except (a) through lending of securities, (b) through the purchase of debt instruments or similar evidences of indebtedness, (c) through an inter-fund lending program with other affiliated funds, provided that no such loan may be made if, as a result, the aggregate of such loans would exceed 33 •% of the value of its total assets (taken at market value at the time of such loans), and (d) through repurchase agreements.


·     

Champion Income Fund cannot invest in real estate. However, Champion Income Fund can purchase debt securities secured by real estate or interests in real estate, or issued by companies, including real estate investment trusts, that invest in real estate or interests in real estate.


·     

Champion Income Fund cannot invest in commodities or commodity contracts. However, Champion Income Fund may buy and sell any of the hedging instruments permitted by its other investment policies, whether or not the hedging instrument is considered a commodity or commodity contract, subject to the restrictions and limitations on such investments specified in Champion Income Fund’s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.


·     

Champion Income Fund cannot underwrite securities of other issuers. A permitted exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act when reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.


·     

Champion Income Fund cannot issue “senior securities”, but this does not prohibit certain investment activities for which assets of Champion Income Fund are designated as segregated, or margin, collateral or escrow arrangements are established, to cover the related obligations. Examples of those activities include borrowing money, reverse repurchase agreements, delayed-delivery and when-issued arrangements for portfolio securities transactions, and contracts to buy or sell derivatives, hedging instruments, options or futures.


Core Bond Fund

·     

Core Bond Fund cannot buy securities issued or guaranteed by any one issuer if more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or if it would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities. This restriction applies to 75% of Core Bond Fund's total assets. The limit does not apply to securities issued by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or securities of other investment companies.


·     

Core Bond Fund cannot concentrate its investments (that means it cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets) in any one industry. Gas, water, electric and telephone utilities are considered to be separate industries for this purpose.


·     

Core Bond Fund cannot make loans except (a) through lending of securities, (b) through the purchase of debt instruments or similar evidences of indebtedness, (c) through an inter-fund lending program with other affiliated funds, and (d) through repurchase agreements.


·     

Core Bond Fund cannot invest in real estate or real estate mortgage loans. However, Core Bond Fund can purchase and sell securities issued or secured by companies that invest in or deal in real estate or interests in real estate.


·     

Core Bond Fund cannot underwrite securities. A permitted exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act when reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.


·     

Core Bond Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33 •% of the value of its total assets. Core Bond Fund may borrow only from banks and/or affiliated investment companies. With respect to this fundamental policy, Core Bond Fund can borrow only if it maintains a 300% ratio of assets to borrowings at all times in the manner set forth in the Investment Company Act.


·     Core Bond Fund cannot issue “senior securities,” but this does not prohibit certain investment activities for which assets of Core Bond Fund are designated as segregated, or margin, collateral or escrow arrangements are established, to cover the related obligations. Examples of those activities include borrowing money, reverse repurchase agreements, delayed-delivery and when-issued arrangements for portfolio securities transactions, and contracts to buy or sell derivatives, hedging instruments, options or futures.

International Bond Fund

·     

International Bond Fund cannot make loans except (a) through lending of securities, (b) through the purchase of debt instruments or similar evidences of indebtedness, (c) through an inter-fund lending program with other affiliated funds, and (d) through repurchase agreements.


·     

International Bond Fund cannot buy or sell real estate. However, International Bond Fund can purchase debt securities secured by real estate or interests in real estate or issued by companies, including real estate investment trusts, which invest in real estate or interests in real estate.


·     

International Bond Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies. A permitted exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act when reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.


·     International Bond Fund cannot issue “senior securities,” but this does not prohibit certain investment activities for which assets of International Bond Fund are designated as segregated, or margin, collateral or escrow arrangements are established, to cover the related obligations. Examples of those activities include borrowing money, reverse repurchase agreements, delayed-delivery and when-issued arrangements for portfolio securities transactions, and contracts to buy or sell derivatives, hedging instruments, options or futures.

·     International Bond Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33 1/3% of the value of its total assets. International Bond Fund may borrow only from banks and/or affiliated investment companies. International Bond Fund cannot make any investment at a time during which its borrowings exceed 5% of the value of its assets. With respect to this fundamental policy, International Bond Fund can borrow only if it maintains a 300% ratio of assets to borrowings at all times in the manner set forth in the Investment Company Act.

International Bond Fund cannot concentrate investments. That means it cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one industry. International Bond Fund will not invest 25% or more of its total assets in government securities of any one foreign company or in debt and equity securities issued by companies organized under the laws of any one foreign country. Obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities are not considered to be part of an “industry” for the purposes of this policy.

Non-Diversification of International Bond Fund’s Investments. International Bond Fund is “non-diversified,” as defined in the Investment Company Act. Funds that are diversified have restrictions against investing too much of their assets in the securities of any one “issuer.” That means that International Bond Fund can invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than a fund that is diversified.

Being non-diversified poses additional investment risks, because if International Bond Fund invests more of its assets in fewer issuers, the value of its shares is subject to greater fluctuations from adverse conditions affecting any one of those issuers. However, International Bond Fund does limit its investments in the securities of any one issuer to qualify for tax purposes as a “regulated investment company” under the Internal Revenue Code. By qualifying, it does not have to pay federal income taxes on amounts distributed if more than 90% of its earnings are distributed to shareholders. To qualify, International Bond Fund must meet a number of conditions. First, not more than 25% of the market value of International Bond Fund’s total assets may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. Second, with respect to 50% of the market value of its total assets, (1) no more than 5% of the market value of its total assets may be invested in the securities of a single issuer, and (2) International Bond Fund must not own more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of a single issuer. This is not a fundamental policy.

Master Loan Fund

·     

The Fund cannot issue “senior securities,” except as permitted under the Investment Company Act. This limitation does not prohibit certain investment activities for which assets of the Fund are designated as segregated, or margin, collateral or escrow arrangements are established, to cover the related obligations. Examples of those activities include borrowing money, reverse repurchase agreements, delayed-delivery and when-issued arrangements for portfolio securities transactions, and contracts to buy or sell derivatives.


·     The Fund may not borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

·     

The Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies. A permitted exception is in case the Fund is deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act when reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.


·     

The Fund cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in securities of issuers having their principal business activities in the same industry. The Fund can invest 25% or more of its total assets and can invest up to 100% of its total assets in securities of issuers in the group of financial services industries, which under the Fund’s currently-used industry classifications include the following industries (this group of industries and the Fund’s industry classifications can be changed by the Fund without shareholder approval): banks, bank holding companies, commercial finance, consumer finance, diversified financial, insurance, savings and loans, and special purpose financial. For the purpose of this investment restriction, the term “issuer” includes the borrower under a loan, the agent bank for a loan, and any intermediate participant in the loan interposed between the borrower and the Fund. The percentage limitation in this investment restriction does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities. For the purposes of interpreting this investment restriction, each foreign national government is treated as an “industry” and utilities are divided according to the services they provide.


·     

The Fund cannot buy or sell real estate. However, the Fund can purchase securities secured by real estate or interests in real estate, or issued by issuers (including real estate investment trusts) that invest in real estate or interests in real estate. The Fund may hold and sell real estate as acquired as a result of the Fund's ownership of securities.


·     

The Fund cannot buy or sell commodities or commodity contracts. However, the Fund can buy and sell derivative instruments, such as futures contracts, options and swaps.


·     The Fund cannot make loans to other persons. However, the Fund can invest in loans (including by direct investments as an original lender or purchasing assignments or participation interests) and other debt obligations in accordance with its investment objective and policies. The Fund may also lend its portfolio securities and may purchase securities subject to repurchase agreements.

·     The Fund cannot buy securities on margin. However, the Fund can make margin deposits in connection with its use of derivative instruments and hedging instruments.

Do the Underlying Funds Have Any Restrictions That Are Not Fundamental? Each of the Underlying Funds has its own investment restrictions that are not fundamental policies, which means that they can be changed by vote of a majority of each respective Underlying Fund's Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. Those policies may differ from the policies of the Fund or the other Underlying Funds. The Fund and the Underlying Funds each apply their own policies with respect to their own portfolio investments. The following investment restrictions are non-fundamental policies of the Underlying Funds as indicated below.

·     

None of the Underlying Funds can invest in the securities of other registered investment companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on sub-paragraph (F) or (G) of section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act.


Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings

The Fund and each Underlying Fund have adopted policies and procedures concerning the dissemination of information about its portfolio holdings by employees, officers and/or directors of the Manager, Distributor, and Transfer Agent. These policies are designed to ensure that non-public information about portfolio securities is distributed only for a legitimate business purpose, and is done in a manner that (a) conforms to applicable laws and regulations and (b) is designed to prevent that information from being used in a way that could negatively affect the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ investment program or enable third parties to use that information in a manner that is harmful to the Fund or Underlying Funds.

·     

Public Disclosure. The Fund and the Underlying Funds’ portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the close of each of the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ fiscal quarters in its semi-annual report to shareholders, its annual reports to shareholders, or in the Statements of Investments on Form N-Q. Those documents are publicly available at the SEC. In addition, the top 20 month-end holdings for each Fund or Underlying Fund may be posted on the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com (select the Fund’s name under the “View Fund Information for:” menu) with a 15-day lag. The Funds or Underlying Funds may release a more restrictive list of holdings (e.g., the top five or top 10 portfolio holdings) or may release no holdings if that is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Other general information about the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ portfolio investments, such as portfolio composition by asset class, industry, country, currency, credit rating or maturity, may also be posted.


Until publicly disclosed, the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ portfolio holdings are proprietary, confidential business information. While recognizing the importance of providing Fund shareholders with information about their Fund’s investment and providing portfolio information to a variety of third parties to assist with the management, distribution and administrative process, the need for transparency must be balanced against the risk that third parties who gain access to the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ portfolio holdings information could attempt to use that information to trade ahead of or against the Fund or Underlying Funds, which could negatively affect the prices the Fund or Underlying Funds are able to obtain in portfolio transactions or the availability of the securities that the portfolio managers are trading on the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ behalf.


The Manager and its subsidiaries and affiliates, employees, officers, and directors, shall neither solicit nor accept any compensation or other consideration (including any agreement to maintain assets in the Fund or Underlying Funds or in other investment companies or accounts managed by the Manager or any affiliated person of the Manager) in connection with the disclosure of the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ non-public portfolio holdings. The receipt of investment advisory fees or other fees and compensation paid to the Manager and its subsidiaries pursuant to agreements approved by the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ Board shall not be deemed to be “compensation” or “consideration” for these purposes. It is a violation of the Code of Ethics for any covered person to release holdings in contravention of portfolio holdings disclosure policies and procedures adopted by the Fund or Underlying Funds.


A list of the top 20 portfolio securities holdings (based on invested assets), listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each month may be disclosed to third parties (subject to the procedures below) no sooner than 15 days after month-end.

Except under special limited circumstances discussed below, month-end lists of the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ complete portfolio holdings may be disclosed no sooner than 30-days after the relevant month-end, subject to the procedures below. If the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ complete portfolio holdings have not been disclosed publicly, they may be disclosed pursuant to special requests for legitimate business reasons, provided that:

·     

The third-party recipient must first submit a request for release of the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ holdings, explaining the business reason for the request;


·     

Senior officers (a Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel or above) in the Manager’s Portfolio and Legal departments must approve the completed request for release of the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ holdings; and


·     

The third-party recipient must sign the Manager’s portfolio holdings non-disclosure agreement before receiving the data, agreeing to keep information that is not publicly available regarding the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ holdings confidential and agreeing not to trade directly or indirectly based on the information.


The Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ complete portfolio holdings positions may be released to the following categories of entities or individuals on an ongoing basis, provided that such entity or individual either (1) has signed an agreement to keep such information confidential and not trade on the basis of such information or (2) is subject to fiduciary obligations, as a member of the Fund’s or Underlying Fund’s Board, or as an employee, officer and/or director of the Manager, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, or their respective legal counsel, not to disclose such information except in conformity with these policies and procedures and not to trade for his/her personal account on the basis of such information:

·     

Employees of the Fund’s or Underlying Fund’s Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent who need to have access to such information (as determined by senior officers of such entity),


·     

The Fund’s or Underlying Fund’s and independent registered public accounting firm,


·     

Members of the Fund’s or Underlying Fund’s Board and the Board’s legal counsel,


·     

The Fund’s or an Underlying Fund’s custodian bank,


·     

A proxy voting service designated by the Fund or Underlying Fund and its Board,


·     

Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper and Morningstar),


·     

Portfolio pricing services retained by the Manager to provide portfolio security prices, and


·     

Dealers, to obtain bids (price quotations, if securities are not priced by the Fund’s or Underlying Fund’s regular pricing services).


Portfolio holdings information of the Fund or Underlying Funds may be provided, under limited circumstances, to brokers and/or dealers with whom the Fund or Underlying Funds trade and/or entities that provide investment coverage and/or analytical information regarding the Fund’s or Underlying Funds portfolios, provided that there is a legitimate investment reason for providing the information to the broker, dealer or other entity. Month-end portfolio holdings information may, under this procedure, be provided to vendors providing research information and/or analytics to the Fund or Underlying Funds, with at least a 15-day delay after the month end, but in certain cases may be provided to a broker or analytical vendor with a 1- 2 day lag to facilitate the provision of requested investment information to the Manager to facilitate a particular trade or the portfolio manager’s investment process for the Fund or Underlying Funds. Any third party receiving such information must first sign the Manager’s portfolio holdings non-disclosure agreement as a pre-condition to receiving this information.

Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on individual securities positions or multiple securities) may be provided to the entities listed below (1) by portfolio traders employed by the Manager in connection with portfolio trading, and (2) by the members of the Manager’s Securities Valuation Group and Accounting Departments in connection with portfolio pricing or other portfolio evaluation purposes:

·     

Brokers and dealers in connection with portfolio transactions (purchases and sales),


·     

Brokers and dealers to obtain bids or bid and asked prices (if securities held by the Fund or Underlying Funds are not priced by the Fund’s or Underlying Fund’s regular pricing services),


·     

Dealers to obtain price quotations where the Fund or Underlying Funds are not identified as the owner.


Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on the Funds’ or Underlying Funds’ entire portfolio or individual securities therein) may be provided by senior officers of the Manager or attorneys on the legal staff of the Manager, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, in the following circumstances:

·     

Response to legal process in litigation matters, such as responses to subpoenas or in class action matters where the Fund or Underlying Funds may be part of the plaintiff class (and seeks recovery for losses on a security) or a defendant,


·     

Response to regulatory requests for information (the SEC, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), state securities regulators, and/or foreign securities authorities, including without limitation requests for information in inspections or for position reporting purposes),


·     

To potential sub-advisers of portfolios (pursuant to confidentiality agreements),


·     

To consultants for retirement plans for plan sponsors/discussions at due diligence meetings (pursuant to confidentiality agreements),


·     

Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (pursuant to confidentiality agreements).


Portfolio managers and analysts may, subject to the Manager’s policies on communications with the press and other media, discuss portfolio information in interviews with members of the media, or in due diligence or similar meetings with clients or prospective purchasers of the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ shares or their financial intermediary representatives.
The Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ shareholders may, under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity in the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ portfolio to meet redemptions), receive redemption proceeds of their Fund or Underlying Fund shares paid as pro rata shares of securities held in the applicable Fund’s or Underlying Fund’s portfolio. In such circumstances, disclosure of the Fund’s or Underlying Funds’ portfolio holdings may be made to such shareholders.

How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History. Oppenheimer Portfolio Series Fixed Income Active Allocation Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment company with an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust on August 29, 2007.

Classes of Shares. The Trustees are authorized, without shareholder approval, to create new series and classes of shares, to reclassify unissued shares into additional series or classes and to divide or combine the shares of a class into a greater or lesser number of shares without changing the proportionate beneficial interest of a shareholder in the Fund. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights or preemptive or subscription rights. Shares may be voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings.

The Fund currently has five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio. Each class of shares:

·     

has its own dividends and distributions,


·     

pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,


·     

will generally have a different net asset value,


·     

will generally have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one class are different from interests of another class, and


·     

votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.


Shares are freely transferable, and each share of each class has one vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally on matters submitted to the vote of shareholders. Each share of the Fund represents an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of each other share of the same class.

|X|     Meetings of Shareholders. As a Massachusetts business trust, the Fund is not required to hold, and does not plan to hold, regular annual meetings of shareholders, but may hold shareholder meetings from time to time on important matters or when required to do so by the Investment Company Act or other applicable law. Shareholders have the right, upon a vote or declaration in writing of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Fund, to remove a Trustee or to take other action described in the Fund’s Declaration of Trust.

The Trustees will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal of a Trustee upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of its outstanding shares. If the Trustees receive a request from at least 10 shareholders stating that they wish to communicate with other shareholders to request a meeting to remove a Trustee, the Trustees will then either make the Fund’s shareholder list available to the applicants or mail their communication to all other shareholders at the applicants’ expense. The shareholders making the request must have been shareholders for at least six months and must hold shares of the Fund valued at $25,000 or more or constituting at least 1% of such Fund’s outstanding shares. The Trustees may also take other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.
 

Shareholder and Trustee Liability. The Fund’s Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder or Trustee liability for the Fund’s obligations. It also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of expenses out of the Fund’s property for any shareholder held personally liable for its obligations. The Declaration of Trust also states that upon request, the Fund shall assume the defense of any claim made against a shareholder for any act or obligation of the Fund and shall satisfy any judgment on that claim. Massachusetts law permits a shareholder of a business trust (such as the Fund) to be held personally liable as a “partner” under certain circumstances. However, the risk that a Fund shareholder will incur financial loss from being held liable as a “partner” of the Fund is limited to the relatively remote circumstances in which the Fund would be unable to meet its obligations.

The Fund’s contractual arrangements state that any person doing business with the Fund (and each shareholder of the Fund) agrees under its Declaration of Trust to look solely to the assets of the Fund for satisfaction of any claim or demand that may arise out of any dealings with the Fund. Additionally, the Trustees shall have no personal liability to any such person, to the extent permitted by law.

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees. The Fund is governed by a Board of Trustees, which is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders under federal and Massachusetts law. The Fund and the Underlying Funds may have the same individuals as members of their respective boards, and in each instance such board members maintain fiduciary duties to fund shareholders under the Investment Company Act. The Manager’s fund-of-funds committee monitors the investment process, identifies, addresses and resolves any potential issues and reports periodically to the Boards of the Fund and of each Underlying Fund. The Trustees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Fund’s activities, review its performance, and review the actions of the Manager.

     The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee, a Review Committee and a Governance Committee. During the Fund’s fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, the Audit Committee held 5 meetings, the Review Committee held 4 meetings and the Governance Committee held 3 meetings.

The Audit Committee is comprised solely of Trustees who are not “interested persons” under the Investment Company Act (the “Independent Trustees”). The members of the Audit Committee are George C. Bowen (Chairman), Edward L. Cameron, Robert J. Malone and F. William Marshall, Jr. The Audit Committee furnishes the Board with recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm (also referred to as the “independent Auditors”). Other main functions of the Audit Committee, outlined in the Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results of financial statement audits and the audit fees charged; (ii) reviewing reports from the Fund’s independent Auditors regarding the Fund’s internal accounting procedures and controls; (iii) reviewing reports from the Manager’s Internal Audit Department; (iv)  reviewing certain reports from and meet periodically with the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer; (v) maintaining a separate line of communication between the Fund’s independent Auditors and the Independent Trustees; (vi) reviewing the independence of the Fund’s independent Auditors; and (vii) pre-approving the provision of any audit or non-audit services by the Fund’s independent Auditors, including tax services, that are not prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to the Fund, the Manager and certain affiliates of the Manager.

The Review Committee is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The members of the Review Committee are Sam Freedman (Chairman), Jon S. Fossel, Richard F. Grabish and Beverly L. Hamilton. Among other duties, as set forth in the Review Committee’s Charter, the Review Committee reports and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the fees paid to the Fund’s transfer agent and the Manager and the services provided to the Fund by the transfer agent and the Manager. The Review Committee also reviews the adequacy of the Fund’s Codes of Ethics, the investment performance as well as the policies and procedures adopted by the Fund to comply with the Investment Company Act and other applicable law.

The Governance Committee is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The members of the Governance Committee are Robert J. Malone (Chairman), William Armstrong, Edward L. Cameron, Beverly L. Hamilton and F. William Marshall, Jr. The Governance Committee has adopted a charter setting forth its duties and responsibilities. Among other duties, the Governance Committee reviews and oversees the Fund’s governance guidelines, the adequacy of the Fund’s Codes of Ethics and the nomination of Trustees, including Independent Trustees. The Governance Committee has adopted a process for shareholder submission of nominees for board positions. Shareholders may submit names of individuals, accompanied by complete and properly supported resumes, for the Governance Committee’s consideration by mailing such information to the Governance Committee in care of the Fund. The Governance Committee may consider such persons at such time as it meets to consider possible nominees. The Governance Committee, however, reserves sole discretion to determine which candidates for Trustees and Independent Trustees it will recommend to the Board and/or shareholders and it may identify candidates other than those submitted by Shareholders. The Governance Committee may, but need not, consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and/or its affiliates in selecting nominees. The full Board elects new Trustees except for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

Shareholders who desire to communicate with the Board should address correspondence to the Board or an individual Board member and may submit their correspondence electronically at www.oppenheimerfunds.com under the caption “contact us” or by mail to the Fund at the address below.

Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Except for Mr. Murphy, each of the Trustees is an Independent Trustee. All of the Trustees are also trustees or directors of the following Oppenheimer/Centennial funds (referred to as “Board II Funds”) except for Mr. Grabish, who serves as Trustee for only the following funds: Centennial Government Trust, Centennial Money Market Trust, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund, Panorama Series Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust, Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust II, Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust III, Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, Oppenheimer Portfolio Series Fixed Income Active Allocation Fund, Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC and Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC:

Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their employees are permitted to purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other Oppenheimer funds at net asset value without sales charge. The sales charge on Class A shares is waived for that group because of the reduced sales efforts realized by the Distributor. Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their eligible family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, its parent company and the subsidiaries of its parent company, and retirement plans established for the benefit of such individuals, are also permitted to purchase Class Y shares of the Oppenheimer funds that offer Class Y shares.

Messrs. Steinmetz, Edwards, Legg, Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey, Wixted and Zack and Mss. Bullington, Bloomberg, Ives and Ruffle, who are officers of the Fund, hold the same offices with one or more of the other Board II Funds. As of May 1, 2009, the Trustees and officers of the Trust, as a group, owned of record or beneficially less than 1% of each class of shares of the Fund. The foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares held of record by an employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than the shares beneficially owned under that plan by the officers of the Board II Funds. In addition, none of the Independent Trustees (nor any of their immediate family members) owns securities of either the Manager or the Distributor or of any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager or the Distributor of the Board II Funds.

The Trustees and officers, their positions with the Fund, length of service in such position(s), and principal occupations and business affiliations during at least the past five years are listed in the charts below.

n     

Compensation Deferral Plan For Trustees. The Board of Trustees has adopted a Compensation Deferral Plan for Independent Trustees that enables them to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are entitled to receive from the Fund. Under the plan, the compensation deferred by a Trustee is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustees. The amount paid to the Trustee under the plan will be determined based upon the amount of compensation deferred and the performance of the selected funds.


Deferral of Trustees’ fees under the plan will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net income per share. The plan will not obligate the Fund to retain the services of any Trustee or to pay any particular level of compensation to any Trustee. Pursuant to an Order issued by the SEC, the Fund may invest in the funds selected by the Trustees under the plan without shareholder approval for the limited purpose of determining the value of the Trustees’ deferred compensation account.

n

n     

Code of Ethics. The Fund, the Manager and the Distributor have a Code of Ethics. It is designed to detect and prevent improper personal trading by certain employees, including portfolio managers, that would compete with or take advantage of the Fund’s portfolio transactions. Covered persons include persons with knowledge of the investments and investment intentions of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Code of Ethics does permit personnel subject to the Code to invest in securities, including securities that may be purchased or held by the Fund, subject to a number of restrictions and controls. Compliance with the Code of Ethics is carefully monitored and enforced by the Manager.


     The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund’s registration statement filed with the SEC and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain information about the hours of operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1.202.551.8090. The Code of Ethics can also be viewed as part of the Fund’s registration statement on the SEC’s EDGAR database at the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov . Copies may be obtained, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following E-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov. , or by writing to the SEC’s Public Reference Section, Washington, D.C. 20549-0102.

n     Portfolio Proxy Voting. The Fund is structured as a fund of funds and, as such, will invest assets in certain of the Underlying Funds. Accordingly, the Fund, in its capacity as a shareholder in the Underlying Funds, may be requested to vote on matters pertaining to the Underlying Funds. With respect to such shareholder proposals, the Fund will vote its shares in each of its Underlying Funds in the same proportion as the vote of all other shareholders in that Underlying Fund.

Each of the Underlying Funds has adopted Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures, which include Proxy Voting Guidelines under which the Underlying Fund votes proxies relating to securities held by a Fund (“portfolio proxies”). OFI generally undertakes to vote portfolio proxies with a view to enhancing the value of the company’s stock held by a Fund. Each Underlying Fund has retained an independent third party proxy voting as its agent to vote portfolio proxies in accordance with the Underlying Fund’s Proxy Voting Guidelines and to maintain records of such portfolio proxy voting. The Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures include provisions to address conflicts of interest that may arise between the Underlying Fund and the Manager or the Manager’s affiliates or business relationships. Such a conflict of interest may arise, for example, where the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager manages or administers the assets of a pension plan or other investment account of the portfolio company soliciting the proxy or seeks to serve in that capacity. The Manager and its affiliates generally seek to avoid such material conflicts of interest by maintaining separate investment decision making processes to prevent the sharing of business objectives with respect to proposed or actual actions regarding portfolio proxy voting decisions. Additionally, the Manager employs the following procedures as long as OFI determines that the course of action is consistent with the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders: (1) if the proposal that gives rise to the conflict is specifically addressed in the Proxy Voting Guidelines, the Manager will vote the portfolio proxy in accordance with the Proxy Voting Guidelines, provided that they do not provide discretion to the Manager on how to vote on the matter; (2) if such proposal is not specifically addressed in the Proxy Voting Guidelines or the Proxy Voting Guidelines provide discretion to the Manager on how to vote, the Manager will vote in accordance with the third-party proxy voting agent’s general recommended guidelines on the proposal provided that the Manager has reasonably determined that there is no conflict of interest on the part of the proxy; and (3) if neither of the previous two procedures provides an appropriate voting recommendation, the Manager may retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Manager on how to vote the proposal or may abstain from voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines’ provisions with respect to certain routine and non-routine proxy proposals are summarized below:

·     

Each Underlying Fund evaluates director nominees on a case-by-case basis, examining the following factors, among others: composition of the board and key board committees, experience and qualifications, attendance at board meetings, corporate governance provisions and takeover activity, long-term company performance and the nominee’s investment in the company.


·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports proposals requiring the position of chairman to be filled by an independent director unless there are compelling reasons to recommend against the proposal such as a counterbalancing governance structure.


·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports proposals asking that a majority of directors be independent. Each Underlying Fund generally supports proposals asking that a board audit, compensation, and/or nominating committee be composed exclusively of independent directors.


·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports shareholder proposals to reduce a super-majority vote requirement, and opposes management proposals to add a super-majority vote requirement.


·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports proposals to allow shareholders the ability to call special meetings.

·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports proposals to allow or make easier shareholder action by written consent.

·     

Each Underlying Fund generally votes against proposals to create a new class of stock with superior voting rights.


·     

Each Underlying Fund generally votes against proposals to classify a board.


·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.


·     

Each Underlying Fund generally opposes re-pricing of stock options without shareholder approval.


·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports proposals to require majority voting for the election of directors.


·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports proposals seeking additional disclosure of executive and director pay information.


·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports proposals seeking disclosure regarding the company’s, board’s or committee’s use of compensation consultants.

·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports “pay-for-performance” proposals that align a significant portion of total compensation of senior executives to company performance.

·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports having shareholder votes on poison pills.

·     

Each Underlying Fund generally supports proposals calling for companies to adopt a policy of not providing tax gross-up payments.

·     

In the case of social, political and environmental responsibility issues, the Underlying Fund will generally abstain where there could be a detrimental impact on share value or where the perceived value if the proposal was adopted is unclear or unsubstantiated.  The Underlying Fund generally supports proposals that would clearly have a discernible positive impact on short- or long-term share value, or that would have a presently indiscernible impact on short- or long-term share value but promotes general long-term interests of the company and its shareholders.


The Fund, and each Underlying Fund, is required to file Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of each year. The Fund’s Form N-PX filing will be available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.525.7048 and (ii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov .

|X|     The Investment Advisory Agreement. The Manager provides investment advisory and management services to the Fund under an investment advisory agreement between the Manager and the Fund. The Manager selects securities for the Fund’s portfolios and handles their day-to-day business. The portfolio managers of the Fund are employed by the Manager and are the persons who are principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolios. Other members of the Manager’s Fixed Income Portfolio Team provide the portfolio managers with counsel and support in managing the Fund’s portfolio.

The agreement requires the Manager, at its expense, to provide the Fund with adequate office space, facilities and equipment. It also requires the Manager to provide and supervise the activities of all administrative and clerical personnel required to provide effective administration for the Fund. Those responsibilities include the compilation and maintenance of records with respect to its operations, the preparation and filing of specified reports, and composition of proxy materials and registration statements for continuous public sale of shares of the Fund.

The Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the advisory agreement. The advisory agreement lists examples of expenses paid by the Fund. The major categories relate to interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, fees to certain Trustees, legal and audit expenses, custodian and transfer agent expenses, share issuance costs, certain printing and registration costs and non-recurring expenses, including litigation costs. The management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager are calculated at the rates described in the Prospectus, which are applied to the assets of the Fund as a whole. The fees are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of the Fund’s net assets represented by that class. The Fund management fee paid by the Fund to the Manager for its fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 and 2008, is listed below.

The investment advisory agreement states that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager is not liable for any loss the Fund sustain in connection with matters to which the agreement relates.

The agreement permits the Manager to act as investment adviser for any other person, firm or corporation and to use the name “Oppenheimer” in connection with other investment companies for which it may act as investment adviser or general distributor. If the Manager shall no longer act as investment adviser to the Trust, the Manager may withdraw the right of the Trust to use the name “Oppenheimer” as part of its name.

Pending Litigation. During 2009, a number of complaints have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain other mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor. The complaints naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs are seeking class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The complaints against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund's investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.
 
     A complaint has been brought in state court against the Manager, the Distributor and another subsidiary of the Manager (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the Oregon College Savings Plan Trust.
The complaint alleges breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seeks compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.
 

Other complaints have been filed in state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those complaints relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff”). Those lawsuits, in 2008 and 2009, allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.

The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the individual Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

Portfolio Manager. The Fund is managed by Arthur Steinmetz (the “Portfolio Manager”). He is the person who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s investments.

     

Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the Fund’s investment portfolio, members of the Portfolio Manager also manages other investment portfolios and other accounts, on behalf of the Manager or its affiliates. The following table provides information regarding those portfolios and accounts as of January 31, 2009:

Does not include personal accounts of portfolio managers and their families, which are subject to the Code of Ethics.


As indicated above, the Portfolio Manager also manages other funds. Potentially, at times, those responsibilities could conflict with the interests of the Fund. That may occur whether the investment strategies of the other funds are the same as, or different from, the Fund’s investment objectives and strategies. For example the Portfolio Manager may need to allocate investment opportunities between the Fund and another fund or account having similar objectives or strategies, or he may need to execute transactions for another fund that could have a negative impact on the value of securities held by the Fund. Not all funds and accounts advised by the Manager have the same management fee. If the management fee structure of another fund or account is more advantageous to the Manager than the fee structure of the Fund, the Manager could have an incentive to favor the other fund. However, the Manager’s compliance procedures and Code of Ethics recognize the Manager’s fiduciary obligations to treat all of its clients, including the Fund, fairly and equitably, and are designed to preclude the Portfolio Manager from favoring one client over another. It is possible, of course, that those compliance procedures and the Code of Ethics may not always be adequate to do so. At different times, the Portfolio Manager may manage other funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are similar to those of the Fund, or may manage funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are different from those of the Fund.

<     Compensation of the Portfolio Manager. The Portfolio Manager are employed and compensated by the Manager, not the Fund. Under the Manager’s compensation program for its portfolio managers and portfolio analysts, Fund performance is the most important element of compensation with half of annual cash compensation based on relative investment performance results of the funds or accounts they manage, rather than on the financial success of the Manager. This is intended to align the portfolio managers’ and analysts’ interests with the success of the funds and accounts and their shareholders. The Manager’s compensation structure is designed to attract and retain highly qualified investment management professionals and to reward individual and team contributions toward creating shareholder value. As of January 31, 2009, each Portfolio Manager’s compensation consisted of three elements: a base salary, an annual discretionary bonus and eligibility to participate in long-term awards of options and stock appreciation rights in regard to the common stock of the Manager’s holding company parent, as well as restricted shares of such common stock. Senior portfolio managers may also be eligible to participate in the Manager’s deferred compensation plan.

The base pay component of each portfolio manager is reviewed regularly to ensure that it reflects the performance of the individual, is commensurate with the requirements of the particular portfolio, reflects any specific competence or specialty of the individual manager, and is competitive with other comparable positions. The annual discretionary bonus is determined by senior management of the Manager and is based on a number of factors, including a fund’s pre-tax performance for periods of up to five years, measured against an appropriate Lipper benchmark selected by management. The majority (80%) is based on three and five year data, with longer periods weighted more heavily. Below median performance in all three periods results in an extremely low, and in some cases no, performance based bonus. Other factors considered include management quality (such as style consistency, risk management, sector coverage, team leadership and coaching) and organizational development. The Portfolio Manager’s compensation is not based on the total value of the Funds’ portfolio assets, although a Fund’s investment performance may increase those assets. The compensation structure is also intended to be internally equitable and serve to reduce potential conflicts of interest between the Fund and other funds managed by the Portfolio Manager. The compensation structure of other portfolios managed by the Portfolio Manager is different from the compensation structure of the Fund, described above. A portion of the Portfolio Manager’s compensation with regard to those portfolios may, under certain circumstances, include an amount based in part on the amount of the portfolios’ management fee. The Portfolio Manager’s compensation with regard to those portfolios may, under certain circumstances, include an amount based on the amount of the management fee.

<     Ownership of Portfolio Shares. As of January 31, 200 9, the Portfolio Manager did not beneficially own any shares of the Fund.

Brokerage Policies of the Fund

Most of the portfolio transactions of the Fund will be the purchase or sale of securities of the Underlying Funds, which do not involve any commissions or other transaction fees. If the Fund invests in other securities, the Manager will follow the brokerage practices of the Underlying Funds described below.

Brokerage Provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement. One of the duties of the Manager under the investment advisory agreement of each Underlying Fund is to arrange the portfolio transactions for those funds. The advisory agreement contains provisions relating to the employment of broker-dealers to effect the Underlying Funds’ portfolio transactions. The Manager is authorized to employ broker-dealers, including “affiliated brokers,” as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act, that the Manager thinks, in its best judgment based on all relevant factors, will implement the policy of the Fund to obtain, at reasonable expense, the “best execution” of the Fund’s portfolio transactions. “Best execution” means prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable price obtainable for the services provided. The Manager need not seek competitive commission bidding. However, the Manager is expected to be aware of the current rates of eligible brokers and to minimize the commissions paid to the extent consistent with the interests and policies of each Underlying Fund as established by its Board of Trustees.

Under the Underlying Funds’ investment advisory agreements, in choosing brokers to execute portfolio transactions, the Manager may select brokers (other than affiliates) that provide both brokerage and research services to the Underlying Funds and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates have investment discretion. The commissions paid to those brokers may be higher than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a good faith determination that the commission is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided.

Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. The Manager allocates brokerage for each Underlying Fund subject to the provisions of the Underlying Fund’s investment advisory agreement and other applicable rules and procedures described below.

The Manager’s portfolio traders allocate brokerage based upon recommendations from the Manager’s portfolio managers, together with the portfolio traders’ judgment as to the execution capability of the broker or dealer. In certain instances, portfolio managers may directly place trades and allocate brokerage. In either case, the Manager’s executive officers supervise the allocation of brokerage.

Other accounts advised by the Manager have investment policies similar to those of an Underlying Fund. Those other accounts may purchase or sell the same securities as an Underlying Fund at the same time as an Underlying Fund, which could affect the supply and price of the securities. If two or more accounts advised by the Manager purchase the same security on the same day from the same dealer, the transactions under those combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated in accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account. When possible, the Manager tries to combine concurrent orders to purchase or sell the same security by more than one of the accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates. The transactions under those combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated in accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.

Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act prohibits any fund from compensating a broker or dealer for promoting or selling the fund’s shares by (1) directing to that broker or dealer any of the fund’s portfolio transactions, or (2) directing any other remuneration to that broker or dealer, such as commissions, mark-ups, mark downs or other fees from the fund’s portfolio transactions, that were effected by another broker or dealer (these latter arrangements are considered to be a type of “step-out” transaction). In other words, a fund and its investment adviser cannot use the fund's brokerage for the purpose of rewarding broker-dealers for selling the fund’s shares.

However, the Rule permits funds to effect brokerage transactions through firms that also sell fund shares, provided that certain procedures are adopted to prevent a quid pro quo with respect to portfolio brokerage allocations. As permitted by the Rule, the Manager has adopted (and the Underlying Funds’ Boards of Trustees have approved) procedures that permit the Underlying Funds to direct portfolio securities transactions to brokers or dealers that also promote or sell shares of the Underlying Funds, subject to the “best execution” considerations discussed above. Those procedures are designed to prevent: (1) the Manager’s personnel who effect an Underlying Fund’s portfolio transactions from taking into account a broker’s or dealer’s promotion or sales of the Underlying Fund’s shares when allocating those portfolio transactions, and (2) the Underlying Funds, the Manager and the Distributor from entering into agreements or understandings under which the Manager directs or is expected to direct an Underlying Funds’ brokerage directly, or through a “step-out” arrangement, to any broker or dealer in consideration of that broker’s or dealer’s promotion or sale of the Underlying Funds’ shares or the shares of any of the other Oppenheimer funds.

The Underlying Funds’ investment advisory agreements permit the Manager to allocate brokerage for research services. The research services provided by a particular broker may be useful both to an Underlying Fund and to one or more of the other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates. Investment research may be supplied to the Manager by the broker or by a third party at the instance of a broker through which trades are placed.

Investment research services include information and analysis on particular companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and portfolio strategy, market quotations for portfolio evaluations, analytical software and similar products and services. If a research service also assists the Manager in a non-research capacity (such as bookkeeping or other administrative functions), then only the percentage or component that provides assistance to the Manager in the investment decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.

Although the Manager currently does not do so, the Board of Trustees of an Underlying Fund may permit the Manager to use stated commissions on secondary fixed-income agency trades to obtain research if the broker represents to the Manager that: (i) the trade is not from or for the broker’s own inventory, (ii) the trade was executed by the broker on an agency basis at the stated commission, and (iii) the trade is not a riskless principal transaction. The Board of Trustees of an Underlying Fund may also permit the Manager to use commissions on fixed-price offerings to obtain research, in the same manner as is permitted for agency transactions.

The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and supplement the research activities of the Manager. That research provides additional views and comparisons for consideration, and helps the Manager to obtain market information for the valuation of securities that are either held in an Underlying Fund’s portfolio or are being considered for purchase.

Distribution and Service Plans

The Distributor. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the Fund, the Distributor acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s classes of shares. The Distributor bears the expenses normally attributable to sales, including advertising and the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses, other than those furnished to existing shareholders. The Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific number of shares.

The sales charges and concessions paid to, or retained by, the Distributor from the sale of shares and the contingent deferred sales retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares during the Fund’s fiscal period ended January 31, 2008 and fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 are shown in the table below.

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the Fund pay the Distributor for all or a portion of the costs incurred in connection with the distribution and/or servicing of the shares of the particular class. Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan. In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term “Independent Trustees” in this Statement of Additional Information refers to those Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Fund and who do not have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the distribution plan or any agreement under the plan.

Under the Plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to affiliates. In their sole discretion, they may also from time to time make substantial payments from their own resources, which include the profits the Manager derives from the advisory fees it receives from the Fund, to compensate brokers, dealers, financial institutions and other intermediaries for providing distribution assistance and/or administrative services or that otherwise promote sales of the Fund’s shares. These payments, some of which may be referred to as “revenue sharing,” may relate to the Fund’s inclusion on a financial intermediary’s preferred list of funds offered to its clients.

Unless a plan is terminated as described below, the plan continues in effect from year to year but only if the Board of Trustees and its Independent Trustees specifically vote annually to approve its continuance. Approval must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on continuing the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by the vote of the holders of a “majority” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the outstanding shares of that class.

The Board of Trustees and the Independent Trustees must approve all material amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase materially the amount of payments to be made under a plan must be approved by shareholders of the class affected by the amendment. Because Class B shares of the Fund automatically convert into Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the Fund must obtain the approval of both Class A and Class B shareholders for a proposed material amendment to the Class A Plan that would materially increase payments under the plan. That approval must be by a “majority” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the shares of each Class, voting separately by class.

While the Plans are in effect, the Treasurer of the Fund shall provide separate written reports on the plans to the Board of Trustees at least quarterly for its review. The reports shall detail the amount of all payments made under a plan and the purpose for which the payments were made. Those reports are subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

Each plan states that while it is in effect, the selection and nomination of those Trustees of the Fund who are not “interested persons” of the Fund are committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees. This does not prevent the involvement of others in the selection and nomination process as long as the final decision as to selection or nomination is approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

Under the plans, no payment will be made to any recipient in any period in which the aggregate net asset value of all Fund shares held by the recipient for itself and its customers does not exceed a minimum amount, if any, that may be set from time to time by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

|X|     Class A Service Plan Fees. Under the Class A service plan, the Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers, dealers and other financial institutions (they are referred to as recipients”) for personal services and account maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold Class A shares. The services include, among others, answering customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in establishing and maintaining accounts in the Fund, making the Fund’s investment plans available and providing other services at the request of the Fund or the Distributor. The Class A service plan permits reimbursements to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of average net assets of Class A shares. The Board has set the rate at that level. The Distributor does not receive or retain the service fee on Class A shares in accounts for which the Distributor has been listed as the broker-dealer of record. While the plan permits the Board to authorize payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for services under the plan, the Board has not yet done so, except in the case of the special arrangement described below regarding grandfathered retirement accounts. The Distributor makes payments to plan recipients periodically at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the average annual net assets consisting of Class A shares held in the accounts of the recipients or their customers.

The Distributor does not receive or retain the service fee on Class A shares in accounts for which the Distributor has been listed as the broker-dealer of record. While the plan permits the Board to authorize payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for services under the plan, the Board has not yet done so, except in the case of shares purchased prior to March 1, 2007 with respect to certain group retirement plans that were established prior to March 1, 2001 (“grandfathered retirement plans”). Prior to March 1, 2007, the Distributor paid the 0.25% service fee for grandfathered retirement plans in advance for the first year and retained the first year's service fee paid by the Fund with respect to those shares. After the shares were held for a year, the Distributor paid the ongoing service fees to recipients on a periodic basis. Such shares are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if they are redeemed within 18 months. If Class A shares purchased in a grandfathered retirement plan prior to March 1, 2007 are redeemed within the first year after their purchase, the recipient of the service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance payment of those fees. For Class A shares purchased in grandfathered retirement plans on or after March 1, 2007, the Distributor does not make any payment in advance and does not retain the service fee for the first year. Such shares are not subject to the contingent deferred sales charge.

During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 payments under the Class A plan totaled $28,750, of which $0 was retained by the Distributor under the arrangements described above, regarding grandfathered retirement accounts, and included $2,923 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor’s parent company. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. The Distributor may not use payments received under the Class A plans to pay any of its interest expenses, carrying charges, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.

|X|     Class B, Class C and Class N Distribution and Service Plan Fees. Under each plan, distribution and service fees are computed on the average of the net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the close of each regular business day during the period. Each plan provides for the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor’s distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid. The types of services that recipients provide are similar to the services provided under the Class A service plan, described above.

Each Plan permits the Distributor to retain both the asset-based sales charges and the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a periodic basis, without payment in advance. However, the Distributor currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the first year after Class B, Class C or Class N shares are purchased. After the first year Class B, Class C or Class N shares are outstanding, after their purchase, the Distributor makes periodic service fee payments on those shares. The advance payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold. Shares purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advance service fee payment. If Class B, Class C or Class N shares are redeemed during the first year after their purchase, the recipient of the service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance payment of the service fee made on those shares. Class B, Class C or Class N shares may not be purchased by a new investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating another registered broker-dealer. If a current investor no longer has another broker-dealer of record for an existing account, the Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of record, but solely for the purpose of acting as the investor’s agent to purchase the shares. In those cases, the Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge paid on Class B, Class C or Class N shares, but does not retain any service fees as to the assets represented by that account.

The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and Class C expenses by 1.00% and the asset-based sales charge and service fees increases Class N expenses by 0.50% of the net assets per year of the respective class.

The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class N shares. The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C shares during the first year the shares are outstanding. It pays the asset-based sales charge as an ongoing concession to the recipient on Class C shares outstanding for a year or more. If a dealer has a special agreement with the Distributor, the Distributor will pay the Class B, Class C or Class N service fee and the asset-based sales charge to the dealer periodically in lieu of paying the sales concessions and service fee in advance at the time of purchase.

The asset-based sales charges on Class B, Class C and Class N shares allow investors to buy shares without a front-end sales charge while allowing the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares. The Fund pays the asset-based sales charges to the Distributor for its services rendered in distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares. The payments are made to the Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:

·     

pays sales concessions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of sale and pays service fees as described above,


·     

may finance payment of sales concessions and/or the advance of the service fee payment to recipients under the plans, or may provide such financing from its own resources or from the resources of an affiliate,


·     

employs personnel to support distribution of Class B, Class C and Class N shares,


·     

bears the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses (other than those furnished to current shareholders) and state “blue sky” registration fees and certain other distribution expenses,


·     

may not be able to adequately compensate dealers that sell Class B, Class C and Class N shares without receiving payment under the plans and therefore may not be able to offer such Classes for sale absent the plans,


·     

receives payments under the plans consistent with the service fees and asset-based sales charges paid by other non-proprietary funds that charge 12b-1 fees,


·     

may use the payments under the plan to include the Fund in various third-party distribution programs that may increase sales of Fund shares,


·     

may experience increased difficulty selling the Fund’s shares if payments under the plan are discontinued because most competitor Fund have plans that pay dealers for rendering distribution services as much or more than the amounts currently being paid by the Fund, and


·     

may not be able to continue providing, at the same or at a lesser cost, the same quality distribution sales efforts and services, or to obtain such services from brokers and dealers, if the plan payments were to be discontinued.


The Distributor’s actual expenses in selling Class B, Class C and Class N shares may be more than the payments it receives from the contingent deferred sales charges collected on redeemed shares and from the Fund under the plans. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund, the Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payments of the asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for distributing shares before the plan was terminated.

Payments to Fund Intermediaries

Financial intermediaries may receive various forms of compensation or reimbursement from the Fund in the form of 12b-1 plan payments as described in the preceding section of this Statement of Additional Information. They may also receive payments or concessions from the Distributor, derived from sales charges paid by the clients of the financial intermediary, also as described in this Statement of Additional Information. Additionally, the Manager and/or the Distributor (including their affiliates) may make payments to financial intermediaries in connection with their offering and selling shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds, providing marketing or promotional support, transaction processing and/or administrative services. Among the financial intermediaries that may receive these payments are brokers and dealers who sell and/or hold shares of the Fund, banks (including bank trust departments), registered investment advisers, insurance companies, retirement plan and qualified tuition program administrators, third party administrators, and other institutions that have selling, servicing or similar arrangements with the Manager or Distributor. The payments to intermediaries vary by the types of product sold, the features of the Fund share class and the role played by the intermediary.

Possible types of payments to financial intermediaries include, without limitation, those discussed below.

·     

Payments made by the Fund, or by an investor buying or selling shares of the Fund may include:


o     

depending on the share class that the investor selects, contingent deferred sales charges or initial front-end sales charges, all or a portion of which front-end sales charges are payable by the Distributor to financial intermediaries (see “ About Your Account” in the Prospectus);


o     

ongoing asset-based payments attributable to the share class selected, including fees payable under the Fund’s distribution and/or service plans adopted under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act, which are paid from the Fund’s assets and allocated to the class of shares to which the plan relates (see “About the Fund -- Distribution and Service Plans above);


o     

shareholder servicing payments for providing omnibus accounting, recordkeeping, networking, sub-transfer agency or other administrative or shareholder services, including retirement plan and 529 plan administrative services fees, which are paid from the assets of the Fund as reimbursement to the Manager or Distributor for expenses they incur on behalf of the Fund.


·     

Payments made by the Manager or Distributor out of their respective resources and/or assets, which may include revenues or profits the Manager derives from investment advisory fees paid by the Fund. These payments are made at the discretion of the Manager and/or the Distributor. These payments, often referred to as “revenue sharing payments, may be in addition to the payments by the Fund listed above.


o     

These types of payments may reflect compensation for marketing support, support provided in offering the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds through certain trading platforms and programs, transaction processing or other services;


o     

The Manager and Distributor each may also pay other compensation to the extent the payment is not prohibited by law or by any self-regulatory agency, such as the FINRA. Payments are made based on the guidelines established by the Manager and Distributor, subject to applicable law.


These payments may provide an incentive to financial intermediaries to actively market or promote the sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, or to support the marketing or promotional efforts of the Distributor in offering shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds. In addition, some types of payments may provide a financial intermediary with an incentive to recommend the Fund or a particular share class. Financial intermediaries may earn profits on these payments, since the amount of the payment may exceed the cost of providing the service. Certain of these payments are subject to limitations under applicable law. Financial intermediaries may categorize and disclose these arrangements to their clients and to members of the public in a manner different from the disclosures in the Fund’s Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information. You should ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Fund, the Manager or the Distributor and any services it provides, as well as the fees and commissions it charges.

Although brokers or dealers that sell Fund shares may also act as a broker or dealer in connection with the execution of the purchase or sale of portfolio securities by the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, a financial intermediary’s sales of shares of the Fund or such other Oppenheimer funds is not a consideration for the Manager when choosing brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the Fund or such other Oppenheimer funds.

Revenue sharing payments can pay for distribution-related or asset retention items including, without limitation,

·     

transactional support, one-time charges for setting up access for the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds on particular trading systems, and paying the intermediary’s networking fees;


·     

program support, such as expenses related to including the Oppenheimer funds in retirement plans, college savings plans, fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, fund “ supermarkets”, bank or trust company products or insurance companies’ variable annuity or variable life insurance products;


·     

placement on the dealer's list of offered funds and providing representatives of the Distributor with access to a financial intermediary’s sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives.


Additionally, the Manager or Distributor may make payments for firm support, such as business planning assistance, advertising, and educating a financial intermediary’s sales personnel about the Oppenheimer funds and shareholder financial planning needs.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the following financial intermediaries and/or their respective affiliates offered shares of the Oppenheimer funds and received revenue sharing or similar distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor for marketing or program support:

Performance of the Fund

Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses a variety of terms to illustrate its investment performance. Those terms include “cumulative total return,” “average annual total return,” “average annual total return at net asset value” and “total return at net asset value.” An explanation of how total returns are calculated is set forth below. You can obtain current performance information by calling the Fund’s Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677 or by visiting the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

The Fund’s illustrations of their performance data in advertisements must comply with rules of the SEC. Those rules describe the types of performance data that may be used and how they are to be calculated. In general, any advertisement by the Fund of their performance data must include the average annual total returns for the advertised class of shares of the Fund.

Use of standardized performance calculations enables an investor to compare the Fund’s performance to the performance of other funds for the same periods. However, a number of factors should be considered before using the Fund’s performance information as a basis for comparison with other investments:

·     

Total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account in the Fund over various periods and do not show the performance of each shareholder’s account. Your account’s performance will vary from the model performance data if your dividends are received in cash, or you buy or sell shares during the period, or you bought your shares at a different time and price than the shares used in the model.


·     

The Fund’s performance returns may not reflect the effect of taxes on dividends and capital gains distributions.


·     

An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.


·     

The principal value of the Fund’s shares, and total returns are not guaranteed and normally will fluctuate on a daily basis.


·     

When an investor’s shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost.


·     

Total returns for any given past period represent historical performance information and are not, and should not be considered, a prediction of future returns.


The performance of each class of shares is shown separately, because the performance of each class of shares will usually be different. That is because of the different kinds of expenses each class bears. The total returns of each class of shares of the Fund are affected by market conditions, the quality of the Fund’s investments, the maturity of those investments, the types of investments the Fund holds, and its operating expenses that are allocated to the particular class.

|X|     Total Return Information. There are different types of “total returns” to measure the Fund’s performance. Total return is the change in value of a hypothetical investment in the Fund over a given period, assuming that all dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested in additional shares and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the period. Because of differences in expenses for each class of shares, the total returns for each class are separately measured. The cumulative total return measures the change in value over the entire period (for example, ten years). An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for each year in a period that would produce the cumulative total return over the entire period. However, average annual total returns do not show actual year-by-year performance. The Fund use standardized calculations for its total returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current maximum sales charge of 5.75% (as a percentage of the offering price) is deducted from the initial investment (“Pin the formula below) (unless the return is shown without sales charge, as described below). For Class B shares, payment of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge is applied, depending on the period for which the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in the second year, 3.0% in the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0% in the sixth year and none thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year period. For Class N shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year period.

•     Average Annual Total Return. The “average annual total return” of each class is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a specified number of years. It is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 (“P” in the formula below) held for a number of years (“n” in the formula) to achieve an Ending Redeemable Value (“ERVin the formula) of that investment, according to the following formula:

                           (ERV)1/n

(-----) - 1 = Average Annual Total Return

                           (   P  )

•     Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions). The “average annual total return (after taxes on distributions)” of Class A shares is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a specified number of years, adjusted to show the effect of federal taxes (calculated using the highest individual marginal federal income tax rates in effect on any reinvestment date) on any distributions made by the Fund during the specified period. It is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 (“P” in the formula below) held for a number of years (“nin the formula) to achieve an ending value (“ATVD in the formula) of that investment, after taking into account the effect of taxes on Fund distributions, but not on the redemption of Fund shares, according to the following formula:

(ATVD)1/n

(--------) - 1 = Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions)

(     P    )

•     Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions and Redemptions). The “average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and redemptions)” of Class A shares is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a specified number of years, adjusted to show the effect of federal taxes (calculated using the highest individual marginal federal income tax rates in effect on any reinvestment date) on any distributions made by the Fund during the specified period and the effect of capital gains taxes or capital loss tax benefits (each calculated using the highest federal individual capital gains tax rate in effect on the redemption date) resulting from the redemption of the shares at the end of the period. It is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 (“P” in the formula below) held for a number of years (“nin the formula) to achieve an ending value (“ATVDR in the formula) of that investment, after taking into account the effect of taxes on Fund distributions and on the redemption of Fund shares, according to the following formula:

(ATVDR)1/n

(---------) - 1 = Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions (      P    )          and Redemptions

•     Cumulative Total Return. The “cumulative total return” calculation measures the change in value of a hypothetical investment of $1,000 over an entire period of years. Its calculation uses some of the same factors as average annual total return, but it does not average the rate of return on an annual basis. Cumulative total return is determined as follows:

                                          ERV-P

--------- = Total Return

                                               P

•     Total Returns at Net Asset Value. From time to time the Fund may also quote a cumulative or an average annual total return “at net asset value” (without deducting sales charges) for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class N shares. Each is based on the difference in net asset value per share at the beginning and the end of the period for a hypothetical investment in that class of shares (without considering front-end or contingent deferred sales charges) and takes into consideration the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

Other Performance Comparisons. The Fund compares its performance annually to that of an appropriate broadly-based market index in its Annual Report to shareholders. You can obtain that information by contacting the Transfer Agent at the addresses or telephone numbers shown on the cover of this Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may also compare its performance to that of other investments, including other mutual funds, or use rankings of its performance by independent ranking entities. Examples of these performance comparisons are set forth below.

|X|     Lipper Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking of the performance of its classes of shares by Lipper, Inc. (“Lipper”). Lipper is a widely-recognized independent mutual fund monitoring service. Lipper monitors the performance of regulated investment companies, including the Fund, and ranks their performance for various periods in categories based on investment styles. The Lipper performance rankings are based on total returns that include the reinvestment of capital gain distributions and income dividends but do not take sales charges or taxes into consideration. Lipper also publishes peer-groupindices of the performance of all mutual funds in a category that it monitors and averages of the performance of the Fund in particular categories.

|X|     Morningstar Ratings. From time to time the Fund may publish the star rating of the performance of its classes of shares by Morningstar, Inc., an independent mutual funds monitoring service. Morningstar rates mutual funds in their specialized market sector. The Fund is rated among conservative allocation funds.

Morningstar proprietary star ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted total investment return. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating™ based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges and loads), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five-and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics.

|X|     Performance Rankings and Comparisons by Other Entities and Publications. From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales literature performance information about the Fund cited in newspapers and other periodicals such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, or similar publications. That information may include performance quotations from other sources, including Lipper and Morningstar. The performance of the Fund’s classes of shares may be compared in publications to the performance of various market indices or other investments, and averages, performance rankings or other benchmarks prepared by recognized mutual funds statistical services.

Investors may also wish to compare the returns on the Fund’s share classes to the return on fixed-income investments available from banks and thrift institutions. Those include certificates of deposit, ordinary interest-paying checking and savings accounts, and other forms of fixed or variable time deposits, and various other instruments such as Treasury bills. However, the Fund’s returns and share prices are not guaranteed or insured by the FDIC or any other agency and will fluctuate daily, while bank depository obligations may be insured by the FDIC and may provide fixed rates of return. Repayment of principal and payment of interest on Treasury securities is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

From time to time, the Fund may publish rankings or ratings of the Manager or Transfer Agent, and of the investor services provided by them to shareholders of the Oppenheimer funds, other than performance rankings of the Oppenheimer funds themselves. Those ratings or rankings of shareholder and investor services by third parties may include comparisons of their services to those provided by other mutual fund families selected by the rating or ranking services. They may be based upon the opinions of the rating or ranking service itself, using its research or judgment, or based upon surveys of investors, brokers, shareholders or others.

From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales literature the total return performance of a hypothetical investment account that includes shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds. The combined account may be part of an illustration of an asset allocation model or similar presentation. The account performance may combine total return performance of the Fund and the total return performance of other Oppenheimer funds included in the account. Additionally, from time to time, the Fund’s advertisements and sales literature may include, for illustrative or comparative purposes, statistical data or other information about general or specific market and economic conditions. That may include, for example,

·     

information about the performance of certain securities or commodities markets or segments of those markets,


·     

information about the performance of the economies of particular countries or regions,


·     

the earnings of companies included in segments of particular industries, sectors, securities markets, countries or regions,


·     

the availability of different types of securities or offerings of securities,


·     

information relating to the gross national or gross domestic product of the United States or other countries or regions,


·     

comparisons of various market sectors or indices to demonstrate performance, risk, or other characteristics of the Fund.


ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

 


How to Buy Shares

Additional information is presented below about the methods that can be used to buy shares of the Fund. Appendix B contains more information about the special sales charge arrangements offered by the Fund, and the circumstances in which sales charges may be reduced or waived for certain classes of investors.
When you purchase shares of the Fund, your ownership interest in the shares in the Fund
will be recorded as a book entry on the records of the Fund. The Fund will not issue or re-register physical share certificates.

AccountLink. When shares are purchased through AccountLink, each purchase must be at least $50 and shareholders must invest at least $500 before an Asset Builder Plan (described below) can be established on a new account. Accounts established prior to November 1, 2002 will remain at $25 for additional purchases. Shares will be purchased on the regular business day the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated Clearing House (“ACH”) transfer to buy the shares. Dividends will begin to accrue on shares purchased with the proceeds of ACH transfers on the business day the Fund receives Federal Funds for the purchase through the ACH system before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., but may close earlier on certain days. If Federal Funds are received on a business day after the close of the NYSE, the shares will be purchased and dividends will begin to accrue on the next regular business day. The proceeds of ACH transfers are normally received by the Fund three days after the transfers are initiated. If the proceeds of the ACH transfer are not received on a timely basis, the Distributor reserves the right to cancel the purchase order. The Distributor and the Fund are not responsible for any delays in purchasing shares resulting from delays in ACH transmissions.

Reduced Sales Charges. As discussed in the Prospectus, a reduced sales charge rate may be obtained for Class A shares under Right of Accumulation and Letters of Intent because of the economies of sales efforts and reduction in expenses realized by the Distributor, dealers and brokers making such sales. No sales charge is imposed in certain other circumstances described in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional Information because the Distributor or dealer or broker incurs little or no selling expenses.

There is an initial sales charge on the purchase of Class A shares of each of the Oppenheimer funds described above except the money market funds. Under certain circumstances described in this Statement of Additional Information, redemption proceeds of certain money market fund shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

Letters of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent (a “Letter”), you may be able to reduce the sales charge rate that applies to your purchases of Class A shares if you purchase Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds or Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class H units purchased in advisor sold Section 529 plans, for which the Manager or the Distributor serves as the Program Manager or Program Distributor. A Letter is an investor's statement in writing to the Distributor of his or her intention to purchase a specified value of those shares or units during a 13-month period (the “Letter period”), which begins on the date of the investor's first share purchase following the establishment of the Letter. The sales charge on each purchase of Class A shares during the Letter period will be at the rate that would apply to a single lump-sum purchase of shares in the amount intended to be purchased. In submitting a Letter, the investor makes no commitment to purchase shares. However, if the investor does not fulfill the terms of the Letter within the Letter period, he or she agrees to pay the additional sales charges that would have been applicable to the purchases that were made. The investor agrees that shares equal in value to 2% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent for that purpose, as described in “Terms of Escrow” below. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter when placing purchase orders during the Letter period. The investor must also notify the Distributor or his or her financial intermediary of any qualifying 529 plan holdings.
 
     To determine whether an investor has fulfilled the terms of a Letter, the Transfer Agent will count purchases of "qualified" Class A, Class B and Class C shares and Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class H units during the Letter period. Purchases of Class N or Class Y shares, purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, purchases of Class A shares with redemption proceeds under the Reinvestment Privilege, and purchases of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which a sales charge has not been paid do not count as “qualified” shares for satisfying the terms of a Letter. An investor will also be considered to have fulfilled the Letter if the value of the investor's total holdings of qualified shares on the last day of the Letter period equals or exceeds the intended purchase amount.
 

If the terms of the Letter are not fulfilled within the Letter period, the concessions previously paid to the dealer of record for the account and the amount of sales charge retained by the Distributor will be adjusted on the first business day following the expiration of the Letter period to reflect the sales charge rates that are applicable to the actual total purchases.

If total eligible purchases during the Letter period exceed the intended purchase amount and also exceed the amount needed to qualify for the next sales charge rate reduction (stated in the Prospectus), the sales charges paid may be adjusted to that lower rate. That adjustment will only be made if and when the dealer returns to the Distributor the amount of the excess concessions allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of concessions that are applicable to the actual amount of purchases. The reduced sales charge adjustment will be made by adding to the investors account the number of additional shares that would have been purchased if the lower sales charge rate had been used. Those additional shares will be determined using the net asset value per share in effect on the date of such adjustment.

By establishing a Letter, the investor agrees to be bound by the terms of the Prospectus, this Statement of Additional Information and the application used for a Letter, and if those terms are amended to be bound by the amended terms and that any amendments by the Fund will apply automatically to existing Letters. Group retirement plans qualified under section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code may not establish a Letter, however defined benefit plans and Single K sole proprietor plans may do so.

n     

Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.


     1.     Out of the initial purchase, or out of subsequent purchases if necessary, the Transfer Agent will hold in escrow Fund shares equal to 2% of the intended purchase amount specified in the Letter. For example, if the intended purchase amount is $50,000, the escrow amount would be shares valued at $1,000 (computed at the offering price for a $50,000 share purchase). Any dividends and capital gains distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to the investor's account.

     2.     If the Letter applies to more than one fund account, the investor can designate the fund from which shares will be escrowed. If no fund is selected, the Transfer Agent will escrow shares in the fund account that has the highest dollar balance on the date of the first purchase under the Letter. If there are not sufficient shares to cover the escrow amount, the Transfer Agent will escrow shares in the fund account(s) with the next highest balance(s). If there are not sufficient shares in the accounts to which the Letter applies, the Transfer Agent may escrow shares in other accounts that are linked for Right of Accumulation purposes. Additionally, if there are not sufficient shares available for escrow at the time of the first purchase under the Letter, the Transfer Agent will escrow future purchases until the escrow amount is met.

     3.     If, during the Letter period, an investor exchanges shares of the Fund for shares of another fund (as described in the Prospectus section titled “How to Exchange Shares”), the Fund shares held in escrow will automatically be exchanged for shares of the other fund and the escrow obligations will also be transferred to that fund.

     4.     If the total purchases under the Letter are less than the intended purchases specified, on the first business day after the end of the Letter period the Distributor will redeem escrowed shares equal in value to the difference between the dollar amount of the sales charges actually paid and the amount of the sales charges that would have been paid if the total purchases had been made at a single time. Any shares remaining after such redemption will be released from escrow.

     5.     If the terms of the Letter are fulfilled, the escrowed shares will be promptly released to the investor at the end of the Letter period.

6.     By signing the Letter, the investor irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Transfer Agent as attorney-in-fact to surrender for redemption any or all escrowed shares.

Asset Builder Plans. As indicated in the Prospectus, you normally must establish your Fund account with $1,000. However, you can open a Fund account for as little as $500 if you establish an Asset Builder Plan to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank account at the time of your initial share purchase. An Asset Builder Plan is available only if your bank is an ACH member. Under an Asset Builder Plan payments to purchase shares of a Fund will be debited from your bank account automatically. Normally the debit will be made two business days prior to the investment dates you select on your application. Neither the Distributor, the Transfer Agent nor the Fund will be responsible for any delays in purchasing shares that result from delays in ACH transmissions.

To establish an Asset Builder Plan at the time you initially purchase Fund shares, complete the “Asset Builder Plan” information on the Account Application. To establish an Asset Builder Plan for an existing account, use the Asset Builder Enrollment Form. The Account Application and the Asset Builder Enrollment Form are available by contacting the Distributor or may be downloaded from our website at: www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Before you establish a new Fund account under the Asset Builder Plan, you should obtain a prospectus of the selected fund and read it carefully.

You may change the amount of your Asset Builder payment or you can terminate your automatic investments at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent requires a reasonable period (approximately 10 days) after receipt of your instructions to implement them. The minimum additional purchase under a new Asset Builder Plan is $50. For Asset Builder Plans established prior to November 1, 2002, the minimum additional purchase is $25. Shares purchased by Asset Builder Plan payments are subject to the redemption restrictions for recent purchases described in the Prospectus. An Asset Builder Plan may not be used to buy shares for OppenheimerFunds employer-sponsored qualified retirement accounts. The Fund reserve the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering Asset Builder Plans at any time without prior notice.

Retirement Plans. Certain types of retirement plans are entitled to purchase shares of the Fund without sales charges or at reduced sales charge rates, as described in an Appendix to this Statement of Additional Information. Certain special sales charge arrangements are maintained on a daily valuation basis by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) or an independent record keeper that has a contact or special arrangement with Merrill Lynch. If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement the plan had less than $1 million in assets invested in applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market funds), than the retirement plan may purchase only Class C shares of the Oppenheimer funds. If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement the plan had $1 million or more in assets but less than $5 million in assets invested in applicable investments (other than assets invested in Class N shares of the Oppenheimer funds). If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement the plan had $5 million or more in assets invested in applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase only Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds.

OppenheimerFunds has entered into arrangements with certain record keepers whereby the Transfer Agent compensates the record keeper for its record keeping and account servicing functions that it performs on behalf of the participant accounts in a retirement plan. While such compensation may act to reduce the record keeping fees charged by the retirement plan’s record keeper, that compensation arrangement may be terminated at any time, potentially affecting the record keeping fees charged by the retirement plan’s record keeper.

Cancellation of Purchase Orders. Cancellation of purchase orders for the Fund’s shares (for example, when a purchase check is returned to the Fund unpaid) causes a loss to be incurred when the net asset values of the Fund’s shares on the cancellation date is less than on the purchase date. That loss is equal to the amount of the decline in the net asset value per share multiplied by the number of shares in the purchase order. The investor is responsible for that loss. If the investor fails to compensate the Fund for the loss, the Distributor will do so. The Fund may reimburse the Distributor for that amount by redeeming shares from any account registered in that investor’s name, or the Fund or the Distributor may seek other redress.

Classes of Shares. Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in the same portfolio of investments of the Fund. However, each class has different shareholder privileges and features. The net income attributable to Class B, Class C or Class N shares and the dividends payable on Class B, Class C or Class N shares will be reduced by incremental expenses borne solely by that class. Those expenses include the asset-based sales charges to which Class B, Class C and Class N shares are subject.

The availability of different classes of shares permits an investor to choose the method of purchasing shares that is more appropriate for the investor. That may depend on the amount of the purchase, the length of time the investor expects to hold shares, and other relevant circumstances. Class A shares normally are sold subject to an initial sales charge. While Class B, Class C and Class N shares have no initial sales charge, the purpose of the deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares is the same as that of the initial sales charge on Class A shares – to compensate the Distributor and brokers, dealers and financial institutions that sell shares of the Fund. A salesperson who is entitled to receive compensation from his or her firm for selling Fund shares may receive different levels of compensation for selling one class of shares rather than another.

The Distributor will not accept a purchase order of more than $100,000 for Class B shares or a purchase order of $1 million or more to purchase Class C shares on behalf of a single investor (not including dealer “street name” or omnibus accounts).

Class B, Class C or Class N shares may not be purchased by a new investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating another registered broker-dealer.

|X|     Class A Shares Subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Under a special arrangement with the Distributor, for purchases of Class A shares at net asset value whether or not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge as described in the Prospectus, no sales concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of record on sales of Class A shares purchased with the redemption proceeds of shares of another mutual fund offered as an investment option in a retirement plan in which Oppenheimer funds are also offered as investment options if the purchase occurs more than 30 days after the Oppenheimer funds are added as an investment option under that plan. Additionally, that concession will not be paid on Class A share purchases by a retirement plan that are made with the redemption proceeds of Class N shares of an Oppenheimer fund held by the plan for more than 18 months.

|X|     Class B Conversion. Under current interpretations of applicable federal income tax law by the Internal Revenue Service, the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares 72 months after purchase is not treated as a taxable event for the shareholder. If those laws or the IRS interpretation of those laws should change, the automatic conversion feature may be suspended. In that event, no further conversions of Class B shares would occur while that suspension remained in effect. Although Class B shares could then be exchanged for Class A shares on the basis of relative net asset value of the two classes, without the imposition of a sales charge or fee, such exchange could constitute a taxable event for the shareholder, and absent such exchange, Class B shares might continue to be subject to the asset-based sales charge for longer than six years.

|X|     Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of the types of retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained in the Prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:

·     

to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),


·     

to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans, Profit-Sharing Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans,


·     

to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and Ascender retirement plans,


·     

to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,


·     

to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,


·     

to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional Information) which have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor for that purpose,


·     

to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the recordkeeper or the plan sponsor for which has entered into a special agreement with the Distributor,


·     

to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of all such plans invested in the Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or more,


·     

to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds, and


·     

to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that are identified in a special agreement between the broker-dealer or financial advisor and the Distributor for that purpose.


The sales concession and the advance of the service fee, as described in the Prospectus, will not be paid to dealers of record on sales of Class N shares on:

·     

purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds),


·     

purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than one year (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds), and


·     

on purchases of Class N shares by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan made with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds.


No sales concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of record, as described in the Prospectus, on sales of Class N shares purchased with the redemption proceeds of shares of another mutual fund offered as an investment option in a retirement plan in which Oppenheimer funds are also offered as investment options under a special arrangement with the Distributor, if the purchase occurs more than 30 days after the Oppenheimer funds are added as an investment option under that plan.

|X|     Allocation of Expenses. The Fund pays expenses related to its daily operations, such as custodian fees, Trustees’ fees, transfer agency fees, legal fees and auditing costs. Those expenses are paid out of the Fund’s assets and are not paid directly by shareholders. However, those expenses reduce the net asset values of shares, and therefore are indirectly borne by shareholders through their investment.

The methodology for calculating the net asset value, dividends and distributions of the Fund’s share classes recognizes two types of expenses. General expenses that do not pertain specifically to any one class are allocated pro rata to the shares of all classes. The allocation is based on the percentage of such Fund’s total assets that is represented by the assets of each class, and then equally to each outstanding share within a given class. Such general expenses include management fees, legal, bookkeeping and audit fees, printing and mailing costs of shareholder reports, Prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information and other materials for current shareholders, fees to unaffiliated Trustees, custodian expenses, share issuance costs, organization and start-up costs, interest, taxes and brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses, such as litigation costs.

Other expenses that are directly attributable to a particular class are allocated equally to each outstanding share within that class. Examples of such expenses include distribution and service plan (12b-1) fees, transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and expenses, and shareholder meeting expenses (to the extent that such expenses pertain only to a specific class).

Fund Account Fees. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual “Minimum Balance Fee” is assessed on a Fund account with a share balance valued under $500. The Minimum Balance Fee is automatically deducted from each such Fund account on or about the second to last business day of September.

Listed below are certain cases in which the Fund has elected, in its discretion, not to assess the Minimum Balance Fee. These exceptions are subject to change:

·     

A Fund account whose shares were acquired after September 30th of the prior year;


·     

A Fund account that has a balance below $500 due to the automatic conversion of shares from Class B to Class A shares. However, once all Class B shares held in the account have been converted to Class A shares the new Class A share account balance may become subject to the Minimum Balance Fee;


·     

Accounts of shareholders who elect to access their account documents electronically via eDoc Direct;


·     

A Fund account that has only certificated shares and, has a balance below $500 and is being escheated;


·     

Accounts of shareholders that are held by broker-dealers under the NSCC Fund/SERV system in Networking level 1 and 3 accounts;


·     

Accounts held under the Oppenheimer Legacy Program and/or holding certain Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds;


·     

Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle, Ascender, Custom Plus, Recordkeeper Pro and Pension Alliance Retirement Plan programs; and


·     

A Fund account that falls below the $500 minimum solely due to market fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the fee is deducted; and


·

Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share. The net asset values per share of each class of shares of the Fund is determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on each day that the NYSE is open. The calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund’s net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, but may close earlier on some days (for example, in case of weather emergencies or on days falling before a U.S. holiday). All references to time in this Statement of Additional Information are to “Eastern time.” The NYSE’s most recent annual announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will close on New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.

Dealers other than NYSE members may conduct trading in certain securities on days on which the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays) or after 4:00 p.m. on a regular business day. Because the Fund’s net asset values will not be calculated on those days, the Fund’s net asset values per share may be significantly affected on days when shareholders may not purchase or redeem shares. Additionally, trading on many foreign stock exchanges and in over-the-counter markets normally is completed before the close of the NYSE.

Changes in the values of securities traded on foreign exchanges or markets as a result of events that occur after the prices of those securities are determined, but before the close of the NYSE, will not be reflected in the Fund’s calculation of its net asset values that day unless the Manager determines that the event is likely to effect a material change in the value of the security. The Manager, or an internal valuation committee established by the Manager, as applicable, may establish a valuation, under procedures established by the Board and subject to the approval, ratification and confirmation by the Board at its next ensuing meeting.

|X|     Securities Valuation. The Board of Directors/Trustees of each Underlying Fund has established procedures for the valuation of such Underlying Fund's securities. In general those procedures are as follows:

·     

Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange are valued as follows:


(1)     if last sale information is regularly reported, they are valued at the last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded as applicable, on that day, or

(2)     if last sale information is not available on a valuation date, they are valued at the last reported sale price preceding the valuation date if it is within the spread of the closing “bid” and “asked” prices on the valuation date or, if not, at the closing “bid” price on the valuation date.

·     

Equity securities traded on a foreign securities exchange generally are valued in one of the following ways:


(1)     at the last sale price available to the pricing service approved by the Board of Directors/Trustees, or

(2)     at the last sale price obtained by the Manager from the report of the principal exchange on which the security is traded at its last trading session on or immediately before the valuation date, or

(3)     at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices obtained from the principal exchange on which the security is traded or, on the basis of reasonable inquiry, from two market makers in the security.

·     

Long-term debt securities having a remaining maturity in excess of 60 days are valued based on the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices determined by a portfolio pricing service approved by each Underlying Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry.


·     

The following securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices determined by a pricing service approved by each Underlying Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:


(1)     debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when issued,

(2)     debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and

(3)     non-money market debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and which have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less.

·     

The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts:


(1)     money market debt securities held by a non-money market funds that had a maturity of less than 397 days when issued that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and

(2)     debt instruments held by a money market funds that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less.

·     

Securities (including restricted securities) not having readily-available market quotations are valued at fair value determined under such Board’s procedures. If the Manager is unable to locate two market makers willing to give quotes, a security may be priced at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices provided by a single active market maker (which in certain cases may be the “bid” price if no “asked” price is available).


In the case of U.S. government securities, mortgage-backed securities, corporate bonds and foreign government securities, when last sale information is not generally available, the Manager may use pricing services approved by the applicable Board of Directors/Trustees. The pricing service may use “matrix” comparisons to the prices for comparable instruments on the basis of quality, yield and maturity. Other special factors may be involved (such as the tax-exempt status of the interest paid by municipal securities). The Manager will monitor the accuracy of the pricing services. That monitoring may include comparing prices used for portfolio valuation to actual sales prices of selected securities.

The closing prices in the New York foreign exchange market on a particular business day that are provided to the Manager by a bank, dealer or pricing service that the Manager has determined to be reliable are used to value foreign currency, including forward contracts, and to convert to U.S. dollars securities that are denominated in foreign currency.

Puts, calls, and futures are valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which they are traded, as determined by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees or by the Manager. If there were no sales that day, they shall be valued at the last sale price on the preceding trading day if it is within the spread of the closing “bid” and “asked” prices on the principal exchange on the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the principal exchange on the valuation date. If the put, call or future is not traded on an exchange, it shall be valued by the mean between “bid” and “asked” prices obtained by the Manager from two active market makers. In certain cases that may be at the “bid” price if no “asked” price is available.

     When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset. An equivalent credit is included in the liability section. The credit is adjusted (“marked-to-market”) to reflect the current market value of the option. In determining the Fund’s gain on investments, if a call or put written by the Fund is exercised, the proceeds are increased by the premium received. If a call or put written by the Fund expires, the Fund has a gain in the amount of the premium. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, it will have a gain or loss, depending on whether the premium received was more or less than the cost of the closing transaction. If the Fund exercises a put it holds, the amount the Fund receives on its sale of the underlying investment is reduced by the amount of premium paid by the Fund.

How to Sell Shares

The information below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming shares set forth in the Prospectus.
 

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire. The Federal funds wire of redemption proceeds may be delayed if the Fund’s custodian bank is not open for business on a day when the Fund would normally authorize the wire to be made, which is usually the Fund’s next regular business day following the redemption. In those circumstances, the wire will not be transmitted until the next bank business day on which the Fund is open for business. No dividends will be paid on the proceeds of redeemed shares awaiting transfer by Federal funds wire.

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of:

·     

Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class A shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or


·     

Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred sales charge when redeemed.


The reinvestment may be made without sales charge only in Class A shares of the Fund or any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of the Fund are exchangeable as described in “How to Exchange Shares” below. Reinvestment will be at the net asset value next computed after the Transfer Agent receives the reinvestment order. The shareholder must ask the Transfer Agent for that privilege at the time of reinvestment. This privilege does not apply to Class C, Class N or Class Y shares. The Fund may amend, suspend or cease offering this reinvestment privilege at any time as to shares redeemed after the date of such amendment, suspension or cessation. This reinvestment privilege does not apply to reinvestment purchases made through automatic investments options.

Any capital gain that was realized when the shares were redeemed is taxable, and reinvestment will not alter any capital gains tax payable on that gain. If there has been a capital loss on the redemption, some or all of the loss may not be tax deductible, depending on the timing and amount of the reinvestment. Under the Internal Revenue Code, if the redemption proceeds of Fund shares on which a sales charge was paid are reinvested in shares of the Fund or another of the Oppenheimer funds within 90 days of payment of the sales charge, the shareholder’s basis in the shares of the Fund that were redeemed may not include the amount of the sales charge paid. That would reduce the loss or increase the gain recognized from the redemption. However, in that case the sales charge would be added to the basis of the shares acquired by the reinvestment of the redemption proceeds.

Payments In Kind. As stated in the Prospectus, payments for shares tendered for redemption are ordinarily made in cash. However, under certain circumstances, the Board of Trustees of the Fund may determine that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of the Fund to make payment of a redemption order wholly or partly in cash. In that case, the Fund may pay the redemption proceeds in whole or in part by a distribution “in kind” of liquid securities from the portfolio of the Fund, in lieu of cash. The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company Act. Under that rule, the Fund are obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the Fund during any 90-day period for any one shareholder.

If shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder would generally receive shares of one or more of the Underlying Funds. Those shares would be subject to the applicable Underlying Fund's normal fees, sales charges, and redemption and exchange policies. If a redemption in kind were made in other types of securities, the shareholder might incur brokerage or other costs in selling the securities for cash. The Fund will value securities used to pay redemptions in kind using the same method the Fund and the Underlying Fund use to value their portfolio securities described above under “Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share.” That valuation will be made as of the time the redemption price is determined.

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund’s Board of Trustees has the right to cause the involuntary redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate net asset value of those shares is less than $500 or such lesser amount as the Board may fix. The Board will not cause the involuntary redemption of shares in an account if the aggregate net asset value of such shares has fallen below the stated minimum solely as a result of market fluctuations. If the Board exercises this right, it may also fix the requirements for any notice to be given to the shareholders in question (but not less than 30 days). Alternatively, the Board may set requirements for the shareholder to increase the investment, or set other terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed.

Transfers of Shares. A transfer of shares to a different registration is not an event that triggers the payment of sales charges. Therefore, shares are not subject to the payment of a contingent deferred sales charge of any class at the time of transfer to the name of another person or entity. It does not matter whether the transfer occurs by absolute assignment, gift or bequest, as long as it does not involve, directly or indirectly, a public sale of the shares. When shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge are transferred, the transferred shares will remain subject to the contingent deferred sales charge. It will be calculated as if the transferee shareholder had acquired the transferred shares in the same manner and at the same time as the transferring shareholder.

If less than all shares held in an account are transferred, and some but not all shares in the account would be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed at the time of transfer, the priorities described in the Prospectus under “How to Buy Shares” for the imposition of the Class B, Class C and Class N contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in determining the order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial plans, 401(k) plans or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to Trustee, OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans,” c/o the Transfer Agent at its address listed in How To Sell Sharesin the Prospectus or on the back cover of this Statement of Additional Information. The request must:

(1)     state the reason for the distribution;

(2)     state the owner's awareness of tax penalties if the distribution is premature; and

(3)     conform to the requirements of the plan and the Fund’s other redemption requirements.

Participants (other than self-employed plan sponsors) in OppenheimerFunds-sponsored pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of the Fund held in the name of the plan or its fiduciary may not directly request redemption of their accounts. The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign the request.

Distributions from pension and profit sharing plans are subject to special requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and certain documents (available from the Transfer Agent) must be completed and submitted to the Transfer Agent before the distribution may be made. Distributions from retirement plans are subject to withholding requirements under the Internal Revenue Code, and IRS Form W-4P (available from the Transfer Agent) must be submitted to the Transfer Agent with the distribution request, or the distribution may be delayed. Unless the shareholder has provided the Transfer Agent with a certified tax identification number, the Internal Revenue Code requires that tax be withheld from any distribution even if the shareholder elects not to have tax withheld. The Fund, the Manager, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent assume no responsibility to determine whether a distribution satisfies the conditions of applicable tax laws and will not be responsible for any tax penalties assessed in connection with a distribution.

Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers. The Distributor is the Fund’s agent to repurchase its shares from authorized dealers or brokers on behalf of their customers. Shareholders should contact their broker or dealer to arrange this type of redemption. The repurchase price per share will be the net asset value next computed after the Distributor receives an order placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the Distributor receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the close of the NYSE on a regular business day, it will be processed at that day’s net asset value if the order was received by the dealer or broker from its customers prior to the time the NYSE closes. Normally, the NYSE closes at 4:00 p.m., but may do so earlier on some days. Additionally, the order must have been transmitted to and received by the Distributor prior to its close of business that day (normally 5:00 p.m.).

Ordinarily, for accounts redeemed by a broker-dealer under this procedure, payment will be made within three business days after the shares have been redeemed upon the Distributor’s receipt of the required redemption documents in proper form. The signature(s) of the registered owners on the redemption documents must be guaranteed as described in the Prospectus.

Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans. Investors can authorize the Transfer Agent to redeem shares (having a value of at least $50) automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Shares will be redeemed three business days prior to the date requested by the shareholder for receipt of the payment. Automatic withdrawals of up to $1,500 per month may be requested by telephone if payments are to be made by check payable to all shareholders of record. Payments must also be sent to the address of record for the account and the address must not have been changed within the prior 30 days. Required minimum distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored retirement plans may not be arranged on this basis.

Payments are normally made by check, but shareholders having AccountLink privileges (see “How To Buy Shares”) may arrange to have Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments transferred to the bank account designated on the account application or by signature-guaranteed instructions sent to the Transfer Agent. Shares are normally redeemed pursuant to an Automatic Withdrawal Plan three business days before the payment transmittal date you select in the account application. If a contingent deferred sales charge applies to the redemption, the amount of the check or payment will be reduced accordingly.

The Fund cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering these plans at any time without prior notice. Because of the sales charge assessed on Class A share purchases, shareholders should not make regular additional Class A share purchases while participating in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. Class B, Class C and Class N shareholders should not establish automatic withdrawal plans, because of the potential imposition of the contingent deferred sales charge on such withdrawals (except where the Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales charge is waived as described in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional Information).

By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the shareholder agrees to the terms and conditions that apply to such plans, as stated below. These provisions may be amended from time to time by the Fund and/or the Distributor. When adopted, any amendments will automatically apply to existing Plans.

|X|     Automatic Exchange Plans. Shareholders can authorize the Transfer Agent to automatically exchange a pre-determined amount of shares of the Fund for shares (of the same class) of other Oppenheimer funds that offer the exchange privilege on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Exchange Plan. The minimum amount that may be exchanged to each other fund account is $50. Instructions should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds Application or signature-guaranteed instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are subject to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in “How to Exchange Shares” in the Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional Information.

|X|     Automatic Withdrawal Plans. Fund shares will be redeemed as necessary to meet withdrawal payments. Shares acquired without a sales charge will be redeemed first. Shares acquired with reinvested dividends and capital gains distributions will be redeemed next, followed by shares acquired with a sales charge, to the extent necessary to make withdrawal payments. Depending upon the amount withdrawn, the investor’s principal may be depleted. Payments made under these plans should not be considered as a yield or income on your investment.

The Transfer Agent will administer the investor’s Automatic Withdrawal Plan as agent for the shareholder(s) (the “Planholder”) who executed the Plan authorization and application submitted to the Transfer Agent. Neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent shall incur any liability to the Planholder for any action taken or not taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith to administer the Plan. Share certificates will not be issued for shares of the Fund purchased for and held under the Plan, but the Transfer Agent will credit all such shares to the account of the Planholder on the records of the Fund. Any share certificates held by a Planholder may be surrendered unendorsed to the Transfer Agent with the Plan application so that the shares represented by the certificate may be held under the Plan.

For accounts subject to Automatic Withdrawal Plans, distributions of capital gains must be reinvested in shares of the Fund, which will be done at net asset value without a sales charge. Dividends on shares held in the account may be paid in cash or reinvested.

Shares will be redeemed to make withdrawal payments at the net asset value per share determined on the redemption date. Checks or AccountLink payments representing the proceeds of Plan withdrawals will normally be transmitted three business days prior to the date selected for receipt of the payment, according to the choice specified in writing by the Planholder. Receipt of payment on the date selected cannot be guaranteed.

The amount and the interval of disbursement payments and the address to which checks are to be mailed or AccountLink payments are to be sent may be changed at any time by the Planholder by writing to the Transfer Agent. The Planholder should allow at least two weeks’ time after mailing such notification for the requested change to be put in effect. The Planholder may, at any time, instruct the Transfer Agent by written notice to redeem all, or any part of, the shares held under the Plan. That notice must be in proper form in accordance with the requirements of the then-current Prospectus of the Fund. In that case, the Transfer Agent will redeem the number of shares requested at the net asset value per share in effect and will mail a check for the proceeds to the Planholder.

The Planholder may terminate a Plan at any time. The Fund may also give directions to the Transfer Agent to terminate a Plan. The Transfer Agent will also terminate a Plan upon its receipt of evidence satisfactory to it that the Planholder has died or is legally incapacitated. Upon termination of a Plan by the Transfer Agent or the Fund, shares that have not been redeemed will be held in uncertificated form in the name of the Planholder. The account will continue as a dividend-reinvestment, uncertificated account unless and until proper instructions are received from the Planholder, his or her executor or guardian, or another authorized person.

If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the Planholder will be deemed to have appointed any successor transfer agent to act as agent in administering the Plan.

How to Exchange Shares

As stated in the Prospectus, shares of a particular class of Oppenheimer funds having more than one class of shares may be exchanged only for shares of the same class of other Oppenheimer funds. Shares of Oppenheimer funds that have a single class without a class designation are deemed “Class A” shares for this purpose. The prospectus of each of the Oppenheimer funds indicates which share class or classes that fund offers and provides information about limitations on the purchase of particular share classes, as applicable for the particular fund. You can also obtain a current list showing which funds offer which classes of shares by calling the Distributor at the telephone number indicated on the front cover of this SAI.

The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. Although the Fund may impose those changes at any time, it will provide you with notice of the changes whenever it is required to do so by applicable law. It may be required to provide 60 days’ notice prior to materially amending or terminating the exchange privilege, except in extraordinary circumstances.

|X|     How Exchanges Affect Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. No contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on exchanges of shares of any class purchased subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, with the following exceptions:

·     

When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 18 months measured from the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares. Except, however, with respect to Class A shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals acquired prior to October 22, 2007, in which case the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed within 24 months measured from the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class A shares.


·     

When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals acquired prior to October 22, 2007 by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 24 months of the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares.


·     

If any Class A shares of another Oppenheimer fund that are exchanged for Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the other Oppenheimer fund at the time of exchange, the holding period for that Class A contingent deferred sales charge will carry over to the Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in the exchange. The Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in that exchange will be subject to the Class A Early Withdrawal Charge of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund if they are repurchased before the expiration of the holding period.


·     

When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves and Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within the Class A holding period of the fund from which the shares were exchanged, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the fund from which the shares were exchanged is imposed on the redeemed shares.


·     

Except with respect to the Class B shares described in the next two paragraphs, the contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within six years of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.


·     

With respect to Class B shares of Oppenheimer Limited Term California Municipal Fund, Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund, Oppenheimer Limited Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed within five years of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.


·     

With respect to Class B shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves that were acquired through the exchange of Class B shares initially purchased in the Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed within five years of that initial purchase.


·     

With respect to Class C shares, the Class C contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class C shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 12 months of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class C shares.


·     

With respect to Class N shares, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge may be imposed if the retirement plan (not including IRAs and 403(b) plans) is terminated or Class N shares of all Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an investment option of the plan and Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months after the plan’s first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund or with respect to an individual retirement plan or 403(b) plan, Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months of the plan’s first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund.


·     

When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are redeemed to effect an exchange, the priorities described in “How To Buy Shares” in the Prospectus for the imposition of the Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in determining the order in which the shares are exchanged. Before exchanging shares, shareholders should take into account how the exchange may affect any contingent deferred sales charge that might be imposed in the subsequent redemption of remaining shares.


     Shareholders owning shares of more than one class must specify which class of shares they wish to exchange.

|X|     Telephone Exchange Requests. When exchanging shares by telephone, a shareholder must have an existing account in the Fund to which the exchange is to be made. Otherwise, the investors must obtain a prospectus of that Fund before the exchange request may be submitted. If all telephone lines are busy (which might occur, for example, during periods of substantial market fluctuations), shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by telephone and would have to submit written exchange requests.

Processing Exchange Requests. Shares to be exchanged are redeemed on the regular business day the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request in proper form (the “Redemption Date”). Normally, shares of the Fund to be acquired are purchased on the Redemption Date, but such purchases may be delayed by either Fund up to five business days if they determine that they would be disadvantaged by an immediate transfer of the redemption proceeds. The Fund reserves the right, in their discretion, to refuse any exchange request that may disadvantage them. For example, if the receipt of multiple exchange requests might require the disposition of portfolio securities at a time or at a price that might be disadvantageous to the Fund, the Fund may refuse the request.

When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another, any special account feature such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Withdrawal Plan, will be switched to the new fund account unless you tell the Transfer Agent not to do so. However, special redemption and exchange features such as Automatic Exchange Plans and Automatic Withdrawal Plans cannot be switched to an account in Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund.

In connection with any exchange request, the number of shares exchanged may be less than the number requested if the exchange or the number requested would include shares subject to a restriction cited in the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information, or would include shares covered by a share certificate that is not tendered with the request. In those cases, only the shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

The different Oppenheimer funds available for exchange have different investment objectives, policies and risks. A shareholder should assure that the fund selected is appropriate for his or her investment and should be aware of the tax consequences of an exchange. For federal income tax purposes, an exchange transaction is treated as a redemption of shares of one funds and a purchase of shares of another. “Reinvestment Privilege,” above, discusses some of the tax consequences of reinvestment of redemption proceeds in such cases. The Fund, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent are unable to provide investment, tax or legal advice to a shareholder in connection with an exchange request or any other investment transaction.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends and Distributions. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate. There can be no assurance as to the payment of any dividends or the realization of any capital gains. The dividends and distributions paid by a class of shares will vary from time to time depending on market conditions, the composition of the Fund’s portfolios, and expenses borne by the Fund or borne separately by a class. Dividends are calculated in the same manner, at the same time, and on the same day for each class of shares. However, dividends on Class B, Class C and Class N shares are expected to be lower than dividends on Class A and Class Y shares. That is because of the effect of the asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares. Those dividends will also differ in amount as a consequence of any difference in the net asset values of the different classes of shares.

If a dividend check or a check representing an automatic withdrawal payment is returned to the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as undeliverable, it will be reinvested in shares of the Fund. Returned checks for the proceeds of other redemptions will be invested in shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. Reinvestment will be made as promptly as possible after the return of such checks to the Transfer Agent. Unclaimed accounts may be subject to state escheatment laws, and the Fund and the Transfer Agent will not be liable to shareholders or their representatives for compliance with those laws in good faith.

Some of the Underlying Funds have no fixed dividend rate and there can be no assurance as to the payment of any dividends or the realization of any capital gains.

Tax Status of the Funds Dividends, Distributions and Redemptions of Shares. The federal tax treatment of the Fund’s dividends and capital gains distributions is briefly highlighted in the Prospectus. The following is only a summary of certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and their shareholders.

The tax discussion in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information is based on tax law in effect on the date of the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional Information. Those laws and regulations may be changed by legislative, judicial, or administrative action, sometimes with retroactive effect. State and local tax treatment of ordinary income dividends and capital gain dividends from regulated investment companies may differ from the treatment under the Internal Revenue Code described below. Potential purchasers of shares of the Fund are urged to consult their tax advisors with specific reference to their own tax circumstances as well as the consequences of federal, state and local tax rules affecting an investment in the Fund.

Generally, the character of the income or capital gains that the Fund receive from the Underlying Funds will pass through to the Fund’s shareholders as long as the Fund and Underlying Funds continue to qualify as regulated investment companies. However, short-term capital gains received from the Underlying Funds will be taxed as ordinary income to the Fund and therefore may not be offset against long-term capital losses of the Fund and foreign tax credits or deductions passed through by the Underlying Funds may not pass throughto the Fund’s shareholders. Additionally, the redemption of Underlying Funds shares by the Fund may be more frequently characterized as a dividend as opposed to a sale or exchange of shares under tax rules applicable to redemptions, thereby resulting in ordinary income without basis offset for the redeeming Fund rather than capital gain. This will have the effect of increasing the amount of ordinary income the Fund must distribute to shareholders.

Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company. The Fund has elected to be taxed as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As regulated investment companies, the Fund are not subject to federal income tax on the portion of their net investment income (that is, taxable interest, dividends, and other taxable ordinary income, net of expenses) and capital gain net income (that is, the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that they distribute to shareholders. Qualification as a regulated investment company enables a Fund to pass throughits income and realized capital gains to shareholders without having to pay tax on them. This avoids a double taxon that income and capital gains, since shareholders normally will be taxed on the dividends and capital gains they receive from a Fund (unless Fund shares are held in a retirement account or the shareholder is otherwise exempt from tax).

The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests relating to qualification that a Fund might not meet in a particular year. If a Fund did not qualify as a regulated investment company, it would be treated for tax purposes as an ordinary corporation and would receive no tax deduction for payments made to shareholders.

To qualify as a regulated investment company, a Fund must distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (in brief, net investment income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital loss) for the taxable year. The Fund must also satisfy certain other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, some of which are described below. Distributions by a Fund made during the taxable year or, under specified circumstances, within 12 months after the close of the taxable year, will be considered distributions of income and gains for the taxable year and will therefore count toward satisfaction of the above-mentioned requirement.

To qualify as a regulated investment company, a Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of stock or securities or foreign currencies (to the extent such currency gains are directly related to the regulated investment company’s principal business of investing in stock or securities) and certain other income including net income derived from an interest in a qualified publicly traded partnership.

In addition to satisfying the requirements described above, the Fund must satisfy an asset diversification test in order to qualify as a regulated investment company. Under that test, at the close of each quarter of a Fund’s taxable year, at least 50% of the value of its assets must consist of cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and securities of other issuers. As to each of those issuers, such Fund must not have invested more than 5% of the value of its total assets in securities of such issuer and the Fund must not hold more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer. No more than 25% of the value of a Fund’s total assets may be invested in the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment companies), in two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses or in the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships as defined in the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of this test, obligations issued or guaranteed by certain agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government are treated as U.S. government securities.

Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies. Under the Internal Revenue Code, by December 31 each year, the Fund must distribute 98% of its taxable investment income earned from January 1 through December 31 of that year and 98% of its capital gains realized in the period from November 1 of the prior year through October 31 of the current year. If it does not, such Fund must pay an excise tax on the amounts not distributed. It is presently anticipated that the Fund will meet those requirements. To meet this requirement, in certain circumstances the Fund might be required to liquidate portfolio investments to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise tax liability. However, the Board of Trustees and the Manager might determine in a particular year that it would be in the best interests of shareholders for a Fund not to make such distributions at the required levels and to pay the excise tax on the undistributed amounts. That would reduce the amount of income or capital gains available for distribution to shareholders.

Taxation of Fund Distributions. The Fund anticipates distributing substantially all of their investment company taxable income for each taxable year. Those distributions will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income and treated as dividends for federal income tax purposes. Distributions comprised of dividends from domestic corporations and certain foreign corporations (generally, corporations incorporated in a possession of the United States, some corporations eligible for treaty benefits under a treaty with the United States and corporations whose stock is readily tradable on an established securities market in the United States) are treated as “qualified dividend income” eligible for taxation at a maximum tax rate of 15% in the hands of non-corporate shareholders. A certain portion of the Underlying Funds’ dividends when paid to the Fund may be eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income when paid to noncorporate shareholders of the Fund. In order for dividends paid by a Fund to be qualified dividend income, the respective Underlying Fund must meet holding period and certain other requirements with respect to the dividend-paying stocks in its portfolio, such Fund must meet the holding period and other requirements with respect to the Underlying Fund shares, and the non-corporate shareholder must meet holding period and certain other requirements with respect to the Fund's shares. To the extent that an Underlying Fund or a Fund engages in securities lending with respect to stock paying qualified dividend income, the ability to pay qualified dividend income to shareholders will be limited.

Special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code govern the eligibility of a Fund’s dividends for the dividends-received deduction for corporate shareholders. Long-term capital gains distributions are not eligible for the deduction. The amount of dividends paid by the Fund that may qualify for the deduction is limited to the aggregate amount of qualifying dividends that the Fund derives from portfolio investments that such Fund has held for a minimum period, usually 46 days. A corporate shareholder will not be eligible for the deduction on dividends paid on Fund shares held for 45 days or less. To the extent the Fund’s dividends are derived from gross income from option premiums, interest income or short-term gains from the sale of securities or dividends from foreign corporations, those dividends will not qualify for the deduction.

The Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital gain for each taxable year. The Fund currently intends to distribute any such amounts although its ability to do so will depend on whether the Underlying Funds distribute such gains. If net long-term capital gains are distributed and designated as a capital gain distribution, it will be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gain and will be properly identified in reports sent to shareholders in January of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter how long the shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was recognized by the distributing Fund before the shareholder acquired his or her shares.

If a Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, it will be subject to tax on it at the 35% corporate tax rate. If a Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will provide to shareholders of record on the last day of its taxable year information regarding its pro rata share of the gain and tax paid. As a result, each shareholder will be required to report his or her pro rata share of such gain on his or her tax return as long-term capital gain, will receive a refundable tax credit for his/her pro rata share of tax paid by the respective Fund on the gain, and will increase the tax basis for his/her shares by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less the tax credit.

Investment income that may be received by certain Underlying Funds from sources within foreign countries may be subject to foreign taxes withheld at the source. The United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries which entitle an Underlying Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such income. The Fund will not be able to pass through certain foreign tax credits or deductions that would otherwise be available to a shareholder in an Underlying Fund.

Distributions by the Fund that do not constitute ordinary income dividends or capital gain distributions will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of a shareholder’s tax basis in his or her shares. Any excess will be treated as gain from the sale of those shares, as discussed below. Shareholders of the Fund will be advised annually as to the U.S. federal income tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year. If any prior distributions must be re-characterized as a non-taxable return of capital at the end of a Fund’s fiscal year, such distributions will be identified as such in notices sent to shareholders.

Distributions by the Fund will be treated in the manner described above regardless of whether the distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the applicable Fund (or of another fund). Shareholders receiving a distribution in the form of additional shares will be treated as receiving a distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received, determined as of the reinvestment date.

The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold 28% of ordinary income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a correct taxpayer identification number or to properly certify that number when required, (2) who is subject to backup withholding for failure to report the receipt of interest or dividend income properly, or (3) who has failed to certify to the Fund that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding or is an exempt recipient(such as a corporation). Any tax withheld by a Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of each year with a copy sent to the IRS.

Tax Effects of Redemptions of Shares. If a shareholder redeems all or a portion of his/her shares, the shareholder will recognize a gain or loss on the redeemed shares in an amount equal to the difference between the proceeds of the redeemed shares and the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares. All or a portion of any loss recognized in that manner may be disallowed if the shareholder purchases other shares of the same Fund (including through dividend reinvestment) within 30 days before or after the redemption.

In general, any gain or loss arising from the redemption of shares of the Fund will be considered capital gain or loss, if the shares were held as a capital asset. It will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were held for more than one year. However, any capital loss arising from the redemption of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends received on those shares. Special holding period rules under the Internal Revenue Code apply in this case to determine the holding period of shares and there are limits on the deductibility of capital losses in any year.

Foreign Shareholders. Under U.S. tax law, taxation of a shareholder who is a foreign person (to include, but not limited to, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign trust, a foreign estate, a foreign corporation, or a foreign partnership) primarily depends on whether the foreign person’s income from the applicable Fund is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business. Typically, ordinary income dividends paid from a mutual fund are not considered effectively connectedincome.

Ordinary income dividends that are paid by a Fund (and are deemed not “effectively connected income”) to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S. tax withheld by that Fund at a rate of 30%, provided the Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. The tax rate may be reduced if the foreign person’s country of residence has a tax treaty with the U.S. allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund. Any tax withheld by a Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in March of each year with a copy sent to the IRS.

If the ordinary income dividends from a Fund are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, then the foreign person may claim an exemption from the U.S. tax described above provided the Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. If the foreign person fails to provide a certification of his/her foreign status, the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of 28% on ordinary income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any foreign person. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of each year with a copy sent to the IRS.

The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein. Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors or the U.S. Internal Revenue Service with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund, including the applicability of the U.S. withholding taxes described above.

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund. Shareholders of a Fund may elect to reinvest all dividends and/or capital gains distributions in shares of the same class of any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which the Fund’s shares may be exchanged. Reinvestment will be made without sales charge at the net asset value per share in effect at the close of business on the payable date of the dividend or distribution. To elect this option, the shareholder must notify the Transfer Agent or his or her financial intermediary in writing and must have an existing account in the fund selected for reinvestment. Otherwise the shareholder first must obtain a prospectus for that fund and an application from the Distributor to establish an account. Dividends and/or distributions from shares of certain other Oppenheimer funds may be invested in shares of the Fund on the same basis.

Additional Information About the Fund

The Distributor. The Fund’s shares are sold through dealers, brokers and other financial institutions that have a sales agreement with OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager that acts as the Fund’s Distributor. The Distributor also distributes shares of the other Oppenheimer funds and is sub-distributor for funds managed by a subsidiary of the Manager.

The Transfer Agent. OppenheimerFunds Services, the Fund’s Transfer Agent, is a division of the Manager. It is responsible for maintaining the Fund’s shareholder registry and shareholder accounting records, and for paying dividends and distributions to shareholders. It also handles shareholder servicing and administrative functions. It serves as the Transfer Agent for an annual per account fee. It also acts as shareholder servicing agent for the other Oppenheimer funds. Shareholders should direct inquiries about their accounts to the Transfer Agent at the address and toll-free numbers shown on the back cover.

The Custodian. Citibank, N.A. is the custodian of the Fund’s assets. The custodian’s responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling the Fund’s portfolio securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and from the Fund. It is the practice of the Fund to deal with the custodian in a manner uninfluenced by any banking relationship the custodian may have with the Manager and its affiliates. The Fund’s cash balances with the custodian in excess of $100,000 ($250,000 through December 31, 2009) are not protected by federal deposit insurance. Those uninsured balances at times may be substantial.

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm. At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

KPMG LLP serves as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund. KPMG LLP audits the Fund's financial statements and performs other related audit and tax services. KPMG LLP also acts as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Manager and certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates. Audit and non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP to the Fund must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1–quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2–inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3–unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of January 31, 2009:
                 
    Investments in     Other Financial  
Valuation Description   Securities     Instruments*  
 
Level 1—Quoted Prices
  $ 26,823,133     $  
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs
           
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs
           
     
Total
  $ 26,823,133     $  
     
*   Other financial instruments include options written, currency contracts, futures, forwards and swap contracts. Currency contracts and forwards are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written and swaps are reported at their market value at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in determining value of the Fund’s investments, and a summary of changes to the valuation techniques, if any, during the reporting period.

FIXED INCOME ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Portfolio Series Fixed Income Active Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to provide total return. The Fund is a special type of mutual fund known as a “fund of funds” because it invests in other mutual funds. The Fund normally invests in fixed income portfolios of Oppenheimer mutual funds (individually, an “Underlying Fund” and collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares based upon the net asset value of the applicable Underlying Fund. For each Underlying Fund, the net asset value per share for a class of shares is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading by dividing the value of the Underlying Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of outstanding shares of that class on that day.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing assets and liabilities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those assets or liabilities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.

FIXED INCOME ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
     The Fund classifies each of its investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds.
     To determine their net asset values, the Underlying Funds’ assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations. In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for assets whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Underlying Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that Underlying Fund’s assets using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. The methodologies used for valuing assets are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those Underlying Funds.
     The Underlying Funds’ investments are classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based on the inputs used in determining their value. Investments held by the Underlying Funds are typically classified as Level 1 or Level 2.
     Fair valued assets may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Risks of Investing in the Underlying Funds. Each of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investment in Oppenheimer master fund. The Fund is permitted to invest in entities sponsored and/or advised by the Manager or an affiliate. Certain of these entities in which the Fund invests are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940

that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC (the “master fund”). The master fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in the master fund, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of the master fund.
     The investment objective of Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC is to seek as high a level of current income and preservation of capital as is consistent with investing primarily in loans and other debt securities. The Fund’s investment in the master fund is included in the Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain/(loss) on its investment in the master fund according to its allocated pro-rata share, based on its relative proportion of total outstanding master fund shares held, of the total net income earned and the net gain/(loss) realized on investments sold by the master fund. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the master fund’s expenses, including its management fee.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
1. As of January 31, 2009, the Fund had $39,921 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of January 31, 2009, details of the capital loss carryforward were as follows:
     
Expiring    
 
2017   $39,921
2. As of January 31, 2009, the Fund had $30,647 of post-October losses available to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2018.
3. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
4. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for January 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
Investment Income. Dividend distributions received from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Upon receipt of notification from an Underlying Fund, and subsequent to the ex-dividend date, some of the dividend income originally recorded by the Fund may be reclassified as a tax return of capital by reducing the cost basis of the Underlying Fund and/or increasing the realized gain on sales of investments in the Underlying Fund.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the 1 Month LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former 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, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. The Distributor’s aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at December 31, 2008 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $32,742, $62,048 and $28,753, respectively.

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Appendix A

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A shares1 of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge that may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.2 That is because of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as the “Distributor”), or by dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain classes of investors. Not all waivers apply to all funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds, the term “Retirement Plan” refers to the following types of plans:

1)     plans created or qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,

2)     non-qualified deferred compensation plans,

3)     employee benefit plans3
4)     Group Retirement Plans4
5)     403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
6)     Individual Retirement Accounts (“IRAs”), including traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

The interpretation of these provisions as to the applicability of a special arrangement or waiver in a particular case is in the sole discretion of the Distributor or the transfer agent (referred to in this document as the “Transfer Agent”) of the particular Oppenheimer fund. These waivers and special arrangements may be amended or terminated at any time by a particular fund, the Distributor, and/or OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (referred to in this document as the “Manager”).

Waivers that apply at the time shares are redeemed must be requested by the shareholder and/or dealer in the redemption request.

I.     

Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases


Purchases of Class A Shares of Oppenheimer Funds That Are Not Subject to Initial Sales Charge but May Be Subject to the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (unless a waiver applies).
 

     There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases may be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within 18 months (24 months in the case of shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals purchased prior to October 22, 2007) of the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption). Additionally, on shares purchased under these waivers that are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor will pay the applicable concession described in the Prospectus under “Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.”5 This waiver provision applies to:

r     

Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.


r     

Purchases of Class A shares, prior to March 1, 2007, by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to purchase such shares at net asset value but subject to a contingent deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001. That included plans (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3) certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan purchases of $200,000 or more.

r     

Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the purchases are made:

1)     through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment adviser that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases, or

2)     by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified Retirement Plan if the administrator of that Plan has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.

r     

Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the following record-keeping arrangements:


1)     The record keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. (“Merrill Lynch”) on a daily valuation basis for the Retirement Plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a) mutual funds, other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch Investment Management, L.P. (“MLIM”), that are made available under a Service Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the mutual fund’s principal underwriter or distributor, and (b) funds advised or managed by MLIM (the funds described in (a) and (b) are referred to as “Applicable Investments”).

2)     The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $5 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.

3)     The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan sponsor signs that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).

1 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund.

2 In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to contingent deferred sales charges mean the Fund’s Early Withdrawal Charges and references to “redemptions” mean “repurchases” of shares.

3 An “employee benefit plan” means any plan or arrangement, whether or not it is “qualified” under the Internal Revenue Code, under which Class N shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other administrator for the account of participants who are employees of a single employer or of affiliated employers. These may include, for example, medical savings accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The fund accounts must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or administrator purchasing the shares for the benefit of participants in the plan.

4 The term “Group Retirement Plan” means any qualified or non-qualified retirement plan for employees of a corporation or sole proprietorship, members and employees of a partnership or association or other organized group of persons (the members of which may include other groups), if the group has made special arrangements with the Distributor and all members of the group participating in (or who are eligible to participate in) the plan purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution designated by the group. Such plans include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b) plans other than plans for public school employees. The term “Group Retirement Plan” also includes qualified retirement plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution that has made special arrangements with the Distributor.

5 However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a Retirement Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one year.

8 The distribution must be requested prior to Plan termination or the elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option under the Plan.

9 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

10 This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans and loans from the OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single K retirement plan.

11 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.

 

 


 

 


     

Appendix B

RATINGS DEFINITIONS

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the nationally-recognized rating agencies listed below. Those ratings represent the opinion of the agency as to the credit quality of issues that they rate. The summaries below are based upon publicly available information provided by the rating organizations.

Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”)

Long-Term Ratings: Bonds and Preferred Stock Issuer Ratings

Aaa: Bonds and preferred stock rated Aaaare judged to be the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk. Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, the changes that can be expected are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa: Bonds and preferred stock rated Aaare judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the Aaagroup, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as with Aaasecurities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risk appear somewhat larger than that of Aaasecurities.

A: Bonds and preferred stock rated Apossess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future.

Baa: Bonds and preferred stock rated Baaare considered medium-grade obligations; that is, they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba: Bonds and preferred stock rated Baare judged to have speculative elements. Their future cannot be considered well-assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B: Bonds and preferred stock rated Bgenerally lack characteristics of the desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa: Bonds and preferred stock rated Caaare of poor standing. Such issues may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest.

Ca: Bonds and preferred stock rated Carepresent obligations which are speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

C: Bonds and preferred stock rated Care the lowest class of rated bonds and can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

Moody’s applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating classification from Aathrough Caa.” The modifier 1indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier 2indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier 3indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Advanced refunded issues that are secured by certain assets are identified with a # symbol.

Prime Rating System (Short-Term Ratings – Taxable Debt)
These ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to honor senior financial obligations and contracts. Such obligations generally have an original maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

Prime-1: Issuer has a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations.

Prime-2: Issuer has a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while appropriate, may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Prime-3: Issuer has an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is maintained.

Not Prime: Issuer does not fall within any Prime rating category.

Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services (“Standard & Poor’s”), a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings
Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following considerations:

·     

Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;


·     

Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and


·     

Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors’ rights.


The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority in bankruptcy, as noted above.

AAA: An obligation rated AAAhave the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor’s. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong.

AA: An obligation rated AAdiffer from the highest rated obligations only in small degree. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

A: An obligation rated Aare somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB: An obligation rated BBBexhibit adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C: An obligation rated ‘BB’, ‘B’, ‘CCC’, ‘CC’, and ‘C’ are regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. ‘BB’ indicates the least degree of speculation and ‘C’ the highest. While such obligations will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

BB: An obligation rated BBare less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues. However, they face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

B: An obligation rated Bare more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated BB”, but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will likely impair the obligor’s capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC: An obligation rated CCCare currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and are dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

CC: An obligation rated CCare currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C: Subordinated debt or preferred stock obligations rated Care currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The Crating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or similar action taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued. A Calso will be assigned to a preferred stock issue in arrears on dividends or sinking fund payments, but that is currently paying.

D: An obligation rated Dare in payment default. The Drating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor’s believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The Drating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

The ratings from AA to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

c: The ‘c’ subscript is used to provide additional information to investors that the bank may terminate its obligation to purchase tendered bonds if the long-term credit rating of the issuer is below an investment-grade level and/or the issuer’s bonds are deemed taxable.

p: The letter ‘p’ indicates that the rating is provisional. A provisional rating assumes the successful completion of the project financed by the debt being rated and indicates that payment of debt service requirements is largely or entirely dependent upon the successful, timely completion of the project. This rating, however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to completion of the project, makes no comment on the likelihood of or the risk of default upon failure of such completion. The investor should exercise his own judgment with respect to such likelihood and risk.

Continuance of the ratings is contingent upon Standard & Poor’s receipt of an executed copy of the escrow agreement or closing documentation confirming investments and cash flows.

r: The ‘r’ highlights derivative, hybrid, and certain other obligations that Standard & Poor’s believes may experience high volatility or high variability in expected returns as a result of noncredit risks. Examples of such obligations are securities with principal or interest return indexed to equities, commodities, or currencies; certain swaps and options; and interest-only and principal-only mortgage securities. The absence of an ‘r’ symbol should not be taken as an indication that an obligation will exhibit no volatility or variability in total return.

N.R. Not rated.
Debt obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories are rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues. The ratings measure the creditworthiness of the obligor but do not take into account currency exchange and related uncertainties.

Bond Investment Quality Standards

Under present commercial bank regulations issued by the Comptroller of the Currency, bonds rated in the top four categories (‘AAA’, ‘AA’, ‘A’, ‘BBB’, commonly known as investment-grade ratings) generally are regarded as eligible for bank investment. Also, the laws of various states governing legal investments impose certain rating or other standards for obligations eligible for investment by savings banks, trust companies, insurance companies, and fiduciaries in general

Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings
Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 days-including commercial paper.

A-1: A short-term obligation rated A-1is rated in the highest category by Standard & Poor’s. The obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

A-2: A short-term obligation rated A-2is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor’s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.

A-3: A short-term obligation rated A-3exhibits adequate protection parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

B: A short-term obligation rated Bis regarded as having significant speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties which could lead to the obligor’s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

C: A short-term obligation rated Cis currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

D: A short-term obligation rated Dis in payment default. The Drating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor’s believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The Drating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

Notes:

A Standard & Poor’s note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market access risks unique to notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in making that assessment:

·     

Amortization schedule-the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note; and


·     

Source of payment-the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.


SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue with a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a (+) designation.

SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.

SP-3: Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Fitch, Inc.

International credit ratings assess the capacity to meet foreign currency or local currency commitments. Both "foreign currency" and "local currency" ratings are internationally comparable assessments. The local currency rating measures the probability of payment within the relevant sovereign state's currency and jurisdiction and therefore, unlike the foreign currency rating, does not take account of the possibility of foreign exchange controls limiting transfer into foreign currency.

International Long-Term Credit Ratings
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency ratings.

Investment Grade:

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. AAAratings denote the lowest expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA: Very High Credit Quality. AAratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk. They indicate a very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to foreseeable events.

A: High Credit Quality. Aratings denote a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

BBB: Good Credit Quality. BBBratings indicate that there is currently a low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the lowest investment-grade category.

Speculative Grade:

BB: Speculative. BBratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over time. However, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not investment grade.

B: Highly Speculative. Bratings indicate that significant credit risk is present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are currently being met. However, capacity for continued payment is contingent upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

CCC, CC C: High Default Risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable business or economic developments. A CCrating indicates that default of some kind appears probable. Cratings signal imminent default.

DDD, DD, and D: Default. The ratings of obligations in this category are based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a reorganization or liquidation of the obligor. While expected recovery values are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the following serve as general guidelines. DDDobligations have the highest potential for recovery, around 90%-100% of outstanding amounts and accrued interest. DDindicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and Dthe lowest recovery potential, i.e., below 50%.

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their obligations. Entities rated DDD have the highest prospect for resumption of performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization process. Entities rated DD and D are generally undergoing a formal reorganization or liquidation process; those rated DD are likely to satisfy a higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated D have a poor prospect for repaying all obligations.
Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote relative status within the major rating categories. Plus and minus signs are not added to the
AAA category or to categories below CCC,” nor to short-term ratings other than F1 (see below).

International Short-Term Credit Ratings
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency ratings. A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for most obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities, and thus places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial commitments in a timely manner.

F1: Highest credit quality. Strongest capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. May have an added “+”to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.

F2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the case of higher ratings.

F3: Fair credit quality. Capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is adequate. However, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment grade.

B: Speculative. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments, plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.

C: High default risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

Item 25. - Indemnification

Reference is made to the provisions of Article Nine of Registrant's Declaration of Trust filed as Exhibit 23(a) to this Registration Statement.

     

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
