Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Russell MidCap Growth Index. The Russell MidCap Growth Index measures the performance of the mid-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell MidCap companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the Index. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a return of 14.58% during the reporting period, outperforming the Russell Midcap Growth Index (the “Index”) return of 11.40%. The Morningstar U.S. Insurance Fund Mid-Cap Growth peer group produced a return of 13.77%.

The Fund outperformed the Index in nine out of eleven sectors of the Index, led by Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples and Information Technology. Stock selection and underweight positions in these sectors contributed positively to performance. The Fund underperformed the Index mainly in the Energy sector, where an overweight position detracted from performance.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Bullish sentiment from Trump’s election victory last year continued into the new year, resulting in U.S. equity markets realizing one of the best first quarter performances in several years. Investors anticipated an administration friendly to both the economy and financial markets. Less regulation, tax reform and other policies favorable to domestic economic growth were on the new administration’s agenda. Consumer and business confidence remained high, corporate earnings strengthened, and other macro factors (employment, capital expenditures) were favorable, while inflationary pressures (wage growth, commodity prices, interest rates) seemed contained.

Domestic equities performed well across all capitalization segments, but there was a distinct performance reversal from 2016. Large caps led the way this reporting period, followed by mid-caps. Small caps trailed after many years of relative outperformance. The performance reversal also held true stylistically.

Growth indices, across all cap ranges, outperformed their Value counterparts. Specifically, for midcap equities, Growth outperformed Value during the reporting period.

TOP INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS

Top performing stocks for the Fund this reporting period included Veeva Systems, Inc., Domino’s Pizza, Inc. and Autodesk, Inc.

Veeva Systems is a SaaS (software-as-a-service) company focused on providing customer relationship management software to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. The company has experienced strong growth in recent years, as their technology allows pharmaceutical companies to more efficiently develop, market and sell their products to health care providers.

Domino’s Pizza, the leading pizza delivery company in the U.S., has continued to experience strong revenue growth due to its unique competitive positioning in the industry. We believe they are one of the most innovative restaurant companies in the mid-cap space, with particular leadership in online ordering. Continued robust capital expenditure spending on new technology and advertising may help stimulate further growth going forward.

Autodesk is a top provider of computer-aided design (CAD) software. The company reported healthy subscriber growth and recurring revenues grew significantly year-over year. Autodesk operates using a SaaS delivery model, which provides many advantages over traditional software delivery, including visibility and stability of revenues, increased efficiency and lower costs.

TOP INDIVIDUAL DETRACTORS

Detractors from performance this reporting period included Diamondback Energy, Nabors Industries Ltd. and Acuity Brands, Inc.

Diamondback Energy is an oil and gas company focused in the Permian Basin in west Texas. The company reported solid results during the period, but the stock underperformed due to the decline in oil prices. While we are not optimistic about the outlook for oil prices, Diamondback Energy has one of the lowest cost structures in the industry, which allows it to earn strong returns even at current oil prices. The company has also done some acquisitions in the Permian Basin that we believe can support growth.

Nabors Industries is one of the largest operators of land drilling rigs in the U.S. The company reported somewhat disappointing fourth-quarter results related to higher-than-expected operating costs, which seem likely to persist. In addition, there are growing concerns that oil prices are unlikely to surpass current levels for a variety of reasons, which would limit the growth opportunity for land rig operators such as Nabors. We have exited our position.

 

3      OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY MID CAP GROWTH FUND/VA


Acuity Brands is a producer of lighting solutions for commercial, institutional, industrial, infrastructure and residential applications. The company’s fiscal first quarter results disappointed, with earnings per share below consensus, and the stock traded down. Weakness in small projects and lingering production inefficiencies led to the lowest organic growth since 2013 and a drop in gross margin. We have since exited our position in Acuity Brands.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

Our long-term investment process remains the same. We seek dynamic companies with above-average and sustainable revenue and earnings growth that we believe are positioned to outperform. This includes leading firms in structurally attractive industries with committed management teams that have proven records of performance. At the end of the period, the Fund was overweight in the Industrial and Healthcare sectors while underweight the Consumer Discretionary, Consumer Staples, and Information Technology sectors relative to the benchmark.    

Looking forward, we expect the U.S. economy to continue on the 2% growth trajectory that it has been on for the last several years. Although interest rates remain very low in a historical context, monetary stimulus has peaked. We believe the Federal Reserve will gradually raise short term rates while buying fewer bonds. Meanwhile, corporate profits are growing at a healthy pace and cash flows are being directed to dividends, buybacks and acquisitions. Equity valuations remain high but the bull market may persist given the favorable macro conditions. While the initial market enthusiasm about the Trump agenda of corporate tax reform, infrastructure spending and deregulation has waned, future progress on these topics could provide upside to our outlook. Technology driven disruption remains abundant across the economy and is at the forefront of our fundamental research. We are cautiously optimistic about the prospects for small and mid-cap growth stocks. We believe our opportunity set remains compelling and we think stock selection can continue to drive our relative performance.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

The Morningstar U.S. Insurance Fund Mid-Cap Growth Funds Category Average is the average return of the mutual funds within the investment category as defined by Morningstar.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended June 30, 2017” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios        

Non-Service shares

     0.80%         

Service shares

     1.05            

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI.

Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both 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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close as described in Note 3.

(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Statement of Operations.

For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

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.

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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Return of Capital Estimates. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in Real Estate Investments Trusts (REITs), generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.

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 cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 2.00%. The “Reduction to custodian

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

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 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.

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 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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

At period end, it is estimated that there would be no capital loss carryforwards. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

 

Federal tax cost of securities

    $     558,338,039    
        

Gross unrealized appreciation

    $ 131,109,201    

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (3,899,685)   

Net unrealized appreciation

    $ 127,209,516    
        

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to

Regulation S-X is for reporting periods after August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

Classifications

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. Various data inputs may be 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-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at period end based on valuation input level:

4. Investments and Risks

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Affiliated Funds.

Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”), which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.

The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Shareholder Concentration. At period end, one shareholder owned 20% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.

The shareholder is a related party of the Fund. Related parties may include, but are not limited to, the investment manager and its affiliates, affiliated broker dealers, fund of funds, and directors or employees. The related party owned 67% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares at period end.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

7. Purchases and Sales of Securities

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations and investments in IGMMF, for the reporting period were as follows:

 

      Purchases              Sales  

Investment securities

   $ 426,986,726                                                  $ 467,440,092  

 

 

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

  Fee Schedule        

  Up to $200 million

     0.75%        

  Next $200 million

     0.72           

  Next $200 million

     0.69           

  Next $200 million

     0.66           

  Next $700 million

     0.60           

  Over $1.5 billion

     0.58           

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.71% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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 with the compensation deferral plan.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and

 

17      OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY MID CAP GROWTH FUND/VA


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

 

 

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

 

account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding any applicable dividend expense, taxes, interest and fees from borrowing, any subsidiary expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, brokerage commissions, unusual and infrequent expenses and certain other Fund expenses; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares.

During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund as follows:

 

Non-Service shares

   $             111,600  

Service shares

     5,893  

This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

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 IGMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or

reimbursed the Fund $7,404 for IGMMF management fees. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

 

9. Borrowings and Other Financing

Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund did not utilize the Facility during the reporting period.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited

 

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive communication in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.

For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, then the ’Detailed’ tab; where ‘Dividends’ are shown, the Fund’s latest pay date will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Russell 3000 Index, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the Fund’s Reference Index. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies, representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index of U.S dollar-denominated, investment-grade U.S. corporate government and mortgage-backed securities. The Fund’s Reference Index is a customized weighted index currently comprised of 65% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 35% of the Russell 3000 Index. The Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of the Fund. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a return of 5.41% during the reporting period. In comparison, the Reference Index returned 4.61%. The Fund’s Reference Index is a customized weighted index currently comprised of the following underlying broad-based security indices: 65% of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 35% of the Russell 3000 Index. Measured separately, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned 2.27% and the Russell 3000 Index returned 8.93%.

MARKET OVERVIEW

During the reporting period, markets continued their general risk-on mode started by the surprise election of Donald Trump in November 2016, as equities climbed and credit spreads narrowed to tight levels not seen since 2015. U.S. GDP growth continued to progress as employment and wage gains suggested the U.S. may be approaching full employment. Business and consumer confidence indicators were among its highest levels in the current expansion. While consumption growth has slowed modestly from a strong pace, the recovery in investment expenditures, a weaker dollar, and a stronger housing sector added to growth.

As its dual mandates of full employment and price stability were approached, the Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) continued to reduce monetary accommodation and normalized rates. The Fed hiked interest rates 0.25% in March and June, and also signaled the potential for balance sheet normalization later this year, possibly in September, along with another hike in December. This was largely in line with market expectations and the reaction has been orderly to date.

As mentioned above, market performance continued to be positive for most risk assets during the six-month reporting period, with domestic and international equities performing positively. Early in the reporting period, U.S. Treasury rates marched higher as the 10-year Treasury rate increased 19 basis points (bps) to 2.63% before falling quickly through the end of the period to 2.31%. This ultimately contributed to U.S. Treasuries generating a positive total return. For the reporting period, credit sectors of the investment-grade fixed-income market posted positive absolute performance and also outperformed U.S. Treasuries.

EQUITY STRATEGY REVIEW

The equity strategy produced positive absolute performance during the reporting period, and outperformed the Russell 3000 Index. The equity strategy’s outperformance stemmed largely from stronger relative stock selection in the real estate sector. The equity strategy also outperformed slightly in the energy and consumer discretionary sectors, due to stock selection. The equity strategy underperformed the Index within the consumer staples, industrials and health care sectors, as a result of weaker relative stock selection.

The equity strategy’s top contributors to performance included Facebook, Alphabet and Johnson & Johnson.

Facebook continued to perform well this reporting period. The company reported strong first quarter results, with revenue beating analysts’ estimates due to strong growth across its applications and solid demand for its mobile ads. Additionally the company continues to increase its moat versus competitors.

Alphabet (the holding company of Google) reported a solid set of results that fueled a rerating of the company. Alphabet continued to monetize its rich asset base steadily and thoughtfully. The company is a leader in online ad spending, online video, location based services, cloud services, and has the largest mobile operating system in the world.

Johnson & Johnson is the world’s biggest maker of health care products. The company has been benefiting from strong demand for newer drugs, including its cancer drugs Darzalex and Imbruvica.

The equity strategy’s top detractors from performance included AutoZone, Verizon Communications and Synchrony Financial.

During AutoZone’s fiscal third quarter, there was further deceleration of comparable store sales which came in below expectations. This further highlighted that the company may be running at a lower EPS (earnings per share) growth rate in the near term (mid-single-digit to high-single-digit) versus double digit growth previously as comparisons are slower and some margin headwinds (some temporary, some not) weigh on earnings. The slowdown appears to be industry-wide as AutoZone’s key competitors have experienced decelerations also. Given the shadow that Amazon is casting in U.S. retail, multiples for AutoZone and its peers have compressed as fears of share gains and price compression at the hands of Amazon have gotten extreme.

 

3        OPPENHEIMER CONSERVATIVE BALANCED FUND/VA


Verizon Communications faced increased competition and reported earnings and sales over the quarter that missed estimates. The company’s move to unlimited data plans led to a loss of overage revenue, further challenging its growth rate.

Synchrony experienced declines late in the period after surprising the market with a larger than expected loan loss reserve. However, the company maintains this increased reserve is not an indication of deterioration in credit quality, but rather is needed to absorb the faster than industry growth they have been experiencing. We do not foresee an imminent decline in credit, as the delinquency trends remain stable, and the company’s fairly large capital cushion (18% capital versus 13% peer average) should offset any credit quality concern.

FIXED-INCOME STRATEGY REVIEW

The Fund’s fixed-income strategy outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index this reporting period. The strategy’s outperformance versus the Index this reporting period stemmed from its exposure to investment grade corporate bonds, where security selection and an overweight position benefited. In addition, the strategy’s exposure to mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) contributed positively to performance. The strategy had its largest exposure to government agency MBS and a smaller allocation to non-agency MBS. Non-agency MBS, which is an out-of-benchmark position, was the stronger relative performer versus the Index this period. Non-agency MBS benefited from solid fundamentals and a strong environment this reporting period. The strategy’s overweight position in agency MBS detracted very slightly from performance.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended June 30, 2017” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios          

Non-Service shares

     0.67%           

Service shares

     0.92              

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Footnotes to Statement of Investments

1. Non-income producing security.

2. Security is a Master Limited Partnership.

3. Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. These securities amount to $27,431,141 or 12.34% of the Fund’s net assets at period end.

4. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security.

5. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $1,193,443 or 0.54% of the Fund’s net assets at period end.

6. Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows. These securities amount to $57,624 or 0.03% of the Fund’s net assets at period end.

7. Interest rate is less than 0.0005%.

8. All or a portion of the security position is when-issued or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after period end. See Note 4 of the accompanying Notes.

9. All or a portion of the security position has been pledged for collateral in association with forward roll transactions. See Note 4 of the accompanying Notes.

10. All or a portion of the security position is held in accounts at a futures clearing merchant and pledged to cover margin requirements on open futures contracts and written options on futures, if applicable. The aggregate market value of such securities is $142,333. See Note 6 of the accompanying Notes.

11. This bond has no contractual maturity date, is not redeemable and contractually pays an indefinite stream of interest.

12. Rate shown is the 7-day yield at period end.

13. Is or was an affiliate, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, at or during the reporting period, by virtue of the Fund owning at least 5% of the voting securities of the issuer or as a result of the Fund and the issuer having the same investment adviser. Transactions during the reporting period in which the issuer was an affiliate are as follows:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 Unaudited

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Conservative Balanced Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both 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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close as described in Note 3.

(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Statement of Operations.

For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

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.

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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Return of Capital Estimates. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and Real Estate Investments Trusts (REITs), generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP, REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.

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 cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 2.00%. The “Reduction to custodian

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

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 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.

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 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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund utilized $6,632,281 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. The Fund had post-October losses of $1,184,042 and straddle losses of $682 which were deferred. Details of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

 

Expiring  
2017    $                         5,261,675  

At period end, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $287,896 expiring by 2017. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $6,158,503 of capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

 

Federal tax cost of securities      $     226,603,169    
Federal tax cost of other investments      9,464,751    
  

 

 

 
Total federal tax cost      $     236,067,920    
  

 

 

 
Gross unrealized appreciation      $     16,511,548    
Gross unrealized depreciation      (2,163,310)   
  

 

 

 
Net unrealized appreciation      $     14,348,238    
  

 

 

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is for reporting periods after August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, short-term notes, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices. Pricing services generally price debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, but some trades may occur in smaller, “odd lot” sizes, sometimes at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, as well as other appropriate factors.

Structured securities, swaps, swaptions, and other over-the-counter derivatives are valued utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include market information relevant to the underlying reference asset such as the price of financial instruments, stock market indices, foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, commodities, credit spreads, credit event probabilities, index values, individual security values, forward interest rates, variable interest rates, volatility measures, and forward currency rates, or the occurrence of other specific events.

Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

Classifications

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.

Various data inputs may be 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-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

4. Investments and Risks

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Affiliated Funds.

Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government

 

26    OPPENHEIMER CONSERVATIVE BALANCED FUND/VA


 

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

 

Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”), which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.

Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs issue common units that represent an equity ownership interest in a partnership and provide limited voting rights. MLP common units are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and are freely tradable on securities exchanges such as the NYSE and the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), or in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. An MLP consists of one or more general partners, who conduct the business, and one or more limited partners, who contribute capital. MLP common unit holders have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management. The Fund, as a limited partner, normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amounts the Fund has contributed, but would not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner. This right of an MLP’s creditors would continue after the Fund sold its investment in the MLP.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.

At period end, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:

 

   

When-Issued or

Delayed Delivery

Basis Transactions

  Purchased securities    $113,307,103
  Sold securities    62,361,133

The Fund may enter into “forward roll” transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) 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 records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.

Forward roll transactions may be deemed to entail embedded leverage since the Fund purchases mortgage-related securities with extended settlement dates rather than paying for the securities under a normal settlement cycle. This embedded leverage increases the Fund’s market value of investments relative to its net assets which can incrementally increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Forward roll transactions can be replicated over multiple settlement periods.

Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; and counterparty credit risk.

At period end, the Fund pledged $33,077 of collateral to the counterparty for forward roll transactions.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.

The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Shareholder Concentration. At period end, a shareholder owned 20% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.

The shareholder is a related party of the Fund. Related parties may include, but are not limited to, the investment manager and its affiliates, affiliated broker dealers, fund of funds, and directors or employees. The related party owned 44% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares at period end.

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

 

 

6. Use of Derivatives

The Fund’s investment objective not only permits the Fund to purchase investment securities, it also allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. Futures contracts and options thereon are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value in an account registered in the futures commission merchant’s name. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the futures commission merchant each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the futures commission merchant can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations.

Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

The Fund may purchase and/or sell financial futures contracts and options on futures contracts to gain exposure to, or decrease exposure to interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, volatility risk, or commodity risk.

6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)

 

During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $28,979,393 and $14,307,874 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.

Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, the price or volatility of asset or non-asset references, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Swaps can be executed in a bi-lateral privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction (“OTC swaps”) or executed on a regulated market. Certain swaps, regardless of the venue of their execution, are required to be cleared through a clearinghouse (“centrally cleared swaps”). Swap contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit default, currency, and volatility swaps.

Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The values of centrally cleared swap and OTC swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund, if any, at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference rate or asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps have embedded leverage, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on a debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a corporate issuer, sovereign issuer, or a basket or index of issuers (the “reference asset”).

The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.

The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.

If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the swap less the market value of specified debt securities issued by the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between such value and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.

The Fund may purchase or sell credit protection through credit default swaps to increase or decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/or indexes of issuers that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.

For the reporting period, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $3,209,386 on credit default swaps to sell protection.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for centrally cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for centrally cleared swaps.

With respect to centrally cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or

6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)

 

clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate centrally cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including centrally cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

9. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

Fee Schedule  
Up to $200 million      0.75  
Next $200 million      0.72    
Next $200 million      0.69    
Next $200 million      0.66    
Over $800 million      0.60    

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.75% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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 with the compensation deferral plan.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive communication in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.

For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, then the ‘Detailed’ tab; where ‘Dividends’ are shown, the Fund’s latest pay date will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measure of domestic stock performance. The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of the Fund. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the Index. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Performance Discussion

During the reporting period, the Fund’s Non-Service shares generated a total return of 15.22%. In comparison, the Fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Index”), which returned 13.99% for the same period. The Fund’s outperformance stemmed largely from stronger relative stock selection in the information technology sector. Stock selection in the health care sector and the Fund’s lack of exposure to the telecommunication services sector also resulted in outperformance for the Fund versus the Index. Drags on performance included stock selection in the industrials sector, an overweight position in the energy sector, and an overweight position and stock selection in the utilities sector.

As a reminder, changes were made within the past year to the Fund’s portfolio management team. Effective October 5, 2016, Paul Larson became the Portfolio Manager of the Fund. Mr. Larson joined OppenheimerFunds in 2013 and has 20 years of investment experience. The Fund’s focus on domestic large-cap growth has not changed, but Mr. Larson and team have been implementing the same investment process employed by the Main Street strategies. The Main Street team employs a process that seeks to identify competitively advantaged companies with strong value creation potential and a compelling risk/reward profile. The deep and experienced investment team has a history of guiding portfolios through distinct market cycles using this disciplined approach.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Domestic equities posted solid gains over the six-month reporting period, continuing the strong upward move following the November 2016 election. While the gains were across market capitalizations, larger-cap companies generally saw better returns than smaller-cap companies, and growth-oriented companies generally outperformed value stocks.

The top performing sector of the Russell 1000 Growth Index during the reporting period was information technology, reflecting the preference for growth this period. Other strongly performing sectors included consumer discretionary (reflecting continued consumer confidence), health care (reversing weakness observed in late 2016), and materials (perhaps reflecting optimism about increasing industrial demand and infrastructure spending). On the other side of the coin, the weakest sector by far was energy, thanks to falling commodity prices. The telecommunication services sector also experienced weakness.

Revenues, earnings and cash flows for U.S. corporations continued to grow in the second quarter. However, on the political front, the Trump administration has had a slower than expected start. As a result, we have dialed back our probabilities for outcomes favorable to future corporate earnings such as lower tax rates and regulatory barriers.

As investors, it is important to know what is and what is not within one’s circle of competence. As such, we strive to keep the portfolio in an all-weather orientation. Whether rates, commodity prices, currencies or even whole economies go up or down, our goal is to have a portfolio that has the potential to outperform no matter the environment.

If our strategy includes not making oversized macro factor bets, a reasonable question is, “What types of risks are you willing to take?” First, we believe identifying companies with sustainable competitive advantages (or economic moats, if you prefer), is squarely in the middle of our circle of competence.

Second, we believe we have the skills to identify company management teams that are likely to successfully execute on their plans. Lastly, we believe that correctly valuing stocks and seeing what expectations the market is pricing in is also within our skillset. It is not by accident that we weight the portfolio more heavily towards companies that we believe have structural competitive advantages and/or management teams that are executing (e.g. gaining market share, expanding profit margins), with at least reasonable stock valuations.

Allow us to use a metaphor. If managing the portfolio was like betting on horses, we’d readily admit that we cannot predict ahead of time the weather or track conditions. But we do believe we can find the strongest horses (advantaged business models), the best jockeys (executing management teams), and can see when the payoff odds are in our favor (positive expected returns). To offset our agnostic position on the conditions, we make sure to have some horses in the stable that we believe will win no matter the weather. In short, it boils down to mostly stock selection.

TOP INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS

Top contributors to the Fund’s performance this period included information technology stocks Apple, Alphabet and Microsoft.

 

3        OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND/VA


Amid its iPhone 7 product cycle, Apple reported a solid quarter and offered comforting guidance that suggests fears of mediocre product acceptance were unfounded. Despite three years of only modest iPhone feature upgrades, the market’s attention has rapidly shifted to the potential for a significant iPhone 8 cycle this Fall, with new screens, wireless charging, and so on. These more compelling features would come at the same time the growing installed base of iPhone users have held on to their existing phones for longer and longer, setting the stage for an acceleration in Apple’s business.

Alphabet (the holding company of Google) reported a solid set of results that fueled a rerating of the company. Alphabet continued to monetize its rich asset base steadily and thoughtfully. The company is a leader in online advertising, online video, location based services, cloud services, and has the largest mobile operating system in the world.

Microsoft is a uniquely positioned cloud provider with a large and loyal customer base, due to its ability to offer both on premise and cloud-based services with a common code base and higher value services including applications, security and management. The company has been delivering strong total returns with mid-single digit top line growth, improving gross margins and a disciplined approach to operating expenses, while maintaining its position as a strong steward of capital.

TOP INDIVIDUAL DETRACTORS

Detractors from performance this reporting period included AutoZone, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Nielsen Holdings.

During AutoZone’s fiscal third quarter, there was further deceleration of comparable store sales which came in below expectations. This further highlighted that the company may be running at a lower earnings per share growth rate in the near term (mid-single-digit to high-single-digit) versus double digit growth previously as comparisons are slower and some margin headwinds (some temporary, some not) weigh on earnings. The slowdown appears to be industry-wide as their key competitors have also experienced decelerations. Given the shadow that Amazon is casting in U.S. retail, multiples for AutoZone and its peers have compressed as fears of share losses and price compression at the hands of Amazon have gotten extreme.

Regarding Bristol-Myers Squibb, early in the reporting period, the company reported it would not seek a fast track to FDA approval of a new lung cancer treatment. This came after the company reported in 2016 that first line lung cancer data for its cancer drug, Opdivo, failed to show a benefit over chemotherapy. Due to our reduced earnings expectations and price target we exited this position.

Nielsen reduced its 2016 outlook as its developed market business faces challenges, particularly in consulting services. Management stated that their consumer packaged goods (CPG) customers were cutting expenses and these services were unlikely to be renewed representing ~$150 million of lower margin revenue relative to the total company’s $6 billion. It is worth noting that over two-thirds of the company’s profitability comes from its Watch segment which remains a de facto monopoly; and while growth rates and restructuring will impact 2017 results, we believe the core business of data delivery to CPG and media companies may remain robust and that normalized growth could return in 2018.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

While bottom-up company research and stock selection continue to be central to our process and strategy, we do have some observations about the current environment. Although the exact forms and timing of changes that may take place as a result of the U.S. elections are still unclear, here are our base case expectations for what will happen in the year ahead:

 

Lower regulatory burdens, over and above the change already seen

 

Modestly lower U.S. corporate tax rates (resulting in fewer companies re-domiciling outside the U.S., and maybe some companies coming back)

 

Offsetting the lower tax rates, fewer specialized deductions

 

Greater fiscal stimulus, most notably defense and infrastructure spending

 

Rhetoric around protectionism in many forms, including higher import tariffs

 

Higher wages

 

4        OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND/VA


While some of these changes—most notably tax rates—would directly lead to earnings growth in the near term, these changes do present some material risks that need to be considered. Supply chains today are highly globalized, and higher friction within global trade could lead to disruptions and higher costs for our companies. Moreover, other countries could easily create retaliatory protectionist policies of their own, reducing demand for U.S. exports and/or making life more difficult for overseas operations of our companies. Finally, deflation has been the bigger concern in recent years, but these policies are clearly swinging the pendulum toward higher inflation. In moderation, inflation is helpful, but we are mindful that sometimes the pendulum can swing too far.

At the moment, the U.S. economy continues its “slow and steady” growth. This is being driven by favorable employment, wage and inflation data while home prices and innovation also continue to help drive the economy higher.

U.S. corporate revenues, earnings, and free cash flow have resumed their moderate growth. The post-election strength in U.S. equity markets and the return of the “risk on trade” indicates that consensus expects earnings growth to accelerate further in the quarters ahead.

We remain laser-focused on the rise in “accounting shenanigans” and the expanding spread between GAAP earnings and pro-forma adjusted earnings. This, combined with ongoing financial engineering, e.g., tax inversions and other obfuscations, have caused us to place increasing emphasis on judging the attractiveness of an investment based on free cash flow, rather than earnings.

While interest rates have increased in recent months, they are still very low relative to historical standards. Current capital allocation is fueled by this environment of ongoing relatively low interest rates. We believe the risks inherent to this market include the misallocation of capital if interest rates were to rise materially. We intend to maintain our discipline around valuation. Additionally, while innovation is alive and well and continuing to help generate economic growth, fundamental disruptions across market segments have been elevated. We continue to be focused on potential disruption risk to our companies.

We expect heightened uncertainty to return in the equity markets. Traditionally, during periods of economic uncertainty and heightened market volatility, investors favor stocks of higher quality companies—with greater consistency and stability of revenue and earnings—leading to relatively better stock performance of those companies. We think focusing on companies with economic moats and skilled management teams positions us well, should this environment come to pass. During times of economic volatility such companies frequently widen their lead over weaker competitors. We seek to invest in companies, characterized by these qualities, at compelling valuations and believe this disciplined approach is essential to generating superior long-term performance.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended June 30, 2017” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios                      

Non-Service shares

     0.80%        

Service shares

     1.05           

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both 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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close as described in Note 3.

(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Statement of Operations.                

For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

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.

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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Return of Capital Estimates. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and Real Estate Investments Trusts (REITs), generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP, REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.

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 cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 2.00%. The “Reduction to custodian

 

 

14        OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND/VA


 

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

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 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.

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 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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

At period end, it is estimated that there would be no capital loss carryforward. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

 

Federal tax cost of securities

    $     666,206,708    
  

 

 

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

    $ 186,990,108    

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (12,163,388)   
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

    $ 174,826,720    
  

 

 

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is for reporting periods after August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

Classifications

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. Various data inputs may be 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-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at period end based on valuation input level:

4. Investments and Risks

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated

 

 

16        OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND/VA


 

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Affiliated Funds.

Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”), which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds. At period end, the Fund had no holdings in IGMMF.

Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs issue common units that represent an equity ownership interest in a partnership and provide limited voting rights. MLP common units are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and are freely tradable on securities exchanges such as the NYSE and the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), or in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. An MLP consists of one or more general partners, who conduct the business, and one or more limited partners, who contribute capital. MLP common unit holders have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management. The Fund, as a limited partner, normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amounts the Fund has contributed, but would not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner. This right of an MLP’s creditors would continue after the Fund sold its investment in the MLP.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.

The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Shareholder Concentration. At period end, one shareholder owned 20% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.

The shareholder is a related party of the Fund. Related parties may include, but are not limited to, the investment manager and its affiliates, affiliated broker dealers, fund of funds, and directors or employees. The related party owned 51% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares at period end.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

  Fee Schedule        

Up to $200 million

     0.75%       

Next $200 million

     0.72          

Next $200 million

     0.69          

Next $200 million

     0.66          

Next $200 million

     0.60          

Over $1 billion

     0.58          

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.70% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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 with the compensation deferral plan.

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

 

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding any applicable dividend expense, taxes, interest and fees from borrowing, any subsidiary expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, brokerage commissions, unusual and infrequent expenses and certain other Fund expenses; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares.

During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund as follows:

 

Non-Service shares

       $         57,591  

Service shares

     33,915  

This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

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 IGMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $6,241 for IGMMF management fees. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

 

9. Borrowings and Other Financing

Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund did not utilize the Facility during the reporting period.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. For certain securities, such as Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), the percentages attributed to each category (net income, net profit from sale and other capital sources) are estimated using historical information because the character of the amounts received from the REITs and MLPs in which the fund invests is unknown until after the end of the calendar year. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive communication in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.

For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, then the ‘Detailed’ tab; where ‘Dividends’ are shown, the Fund’s latest pay date will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays Credit Index, an index of non-convertible U.S. investment grade corporate bonds; the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, an index of U.S. corporate and government bonds and the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Bond Index, an index of institutionally traded U.S. Treasury Bonds, government-sponsored bonds, mortgage-backed securities and corporate securities. The indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Performance Discussion

MARKET OVERVIEW

During the reporting period, markets continued their general risk-on mode started by the surprise election of Donald Trump in November 2016, as equities climbed and credit spreads narrowed to tight levels not seen since 2015. U.S. GDP growth continued to progress as employment and wage gains suggested the U.S. may be approaching full employment. Business and consumer confidence indicators were among its highest levels in the current expansion. While consumption growth has slowed modestly from a strong pace, the recovery in investment expenditures, a weaker dollar, and a stronger housing sector added to growth.

As its dual mandates of full employment and price stability were approached, the Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) continued to reduce monetary accommodation and normalized rates. The Fed hiked interest rates 0.25% in March and June, and also signaled the potential for balance sheet normalization later this year, possibly in September, along with another hike in December. This was largely in line with market expectations and the reaction has been orderly to date.

As mentioned above, market performance continued to be positive for most risk assets during the six-month reporting period, with equities performing positively. Early in the reporting period, U.S. Treasury rates marched higher as the 10-year Treasury rate increased 19 basis points (bps) to 2.63% before falling quickly through the end of the period to 2.31%. This ultimately contributed to U.S. Treasuries generating a positive total return. For the reporting period, credit sectors of the investment-grade fixed-income market posted positive absolute performance and also outperformed U.S. Treasuries.

FUND REVIEW

Against this backdrop, the Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a return of 2.98% during the reporting period. In comparison, the Fund’s benchmarks, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”), the Bloomberg Barclays Credit Index and the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Bond Index, returned 2.27%, 3.68%, and 2.34%, respectively. The Fund’s outperformance versus the Index this reporting period stemmed from its exposure to investment grade corporate bonds, where security selection and an overweight position benefited.

In addition, the Fund’s exposure to mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) contributed positively to performance. The Fund had its largest exposure to government agency MBS and a smaller allocation to non-agency MBS. Non-agency MBS, which is an out-of-benchmark position, was the stronger relative performer versus the Index this period. Non-agency MBS benefited from solid fundamentals and a strong environment this reporting period. Agency MBS also contributed positively to performance, due to security selection. An overweight position relative to the Index detracted slightly from performance, but not enough to offset the outperformance.

The Fund’s exposure to high yield credit also benefited the Fund during the reporting period.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

As a reminder, effective April 28, 2017, the Fund was renamed Oppenheimer Total Return Bond Fund/VA. The new name better aligns with the team’s underlying investment strategy. Over its tenure of managing the Fund, the Investment Grade Debt Team has generally maintained a portfolio posture deviating to a non-trivial extent from that of typical core bond funds as well as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index – namely by: strategically underweighting U.S Treasuries, favoring diversified sources of corporate and structured credit, and allocating to out-of-benchmark sectors like BB-rated corporate bonds and non-agency MBS.

At period end, we believe that macroeconomic fundamentals should continue to remain solid, with continued gains in wages and employment. Inflation may creep higher and potential fiscal stimulus could boost consumption later in the year. Likewise, we think the Fed may hike one more time and could begin a well-telegraphed tapering of its pay down and maturity reinvestment program later in 2017.

We remain neutral duration as near term inflation risks appear to be fully priced into yields and the rise in risk premium consistent with a relatively sanguine economic outlook. Given the spread-widening that took place earlier in the quarter and the slowdown in interest rate volatility, we have increased the Fund’s exposure to agency MBS, targeting less rate-sensitive areas of the market, and are currently overweight relative to the Index.

 

3        OPPENHEIMER TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND/VA


Demand for credit-related securities continues to be very strong. While corporate fundamentals appear stable, we do believe we currently reside in the fourth quarter of the credit cycle and that credit spreads do appear tight. As a result, we remain cautiously engaged in investment-grade corporate credit, with the Fund also including a modest exposure to typically high Sharpe Ratio BB-rated corporates.

Within structured products, we continue to avoid student loan and more esoteric asset-backed securities (“ABS”). We continue to favor auto and to some extent credit card ABS given their attractive fundamentals, carry and solid structures. We continue to have a smaller overweight to CMBS and remain up-in-structure as the issues within the retail sector give us pause.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended June 30, 2017” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios        

Non-Service shares

   0.75%

Service shares

   1.00   

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Footnotes to Statement of Investments

1. Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. These securities amount to $30,999,495 or 22.80% of the Fund’s net assets at period end.

2. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security.

3. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $1,472,459 or 1.08% of the

Fund’s net assets at period end.

4. Interest rate is less than 0.0005%.

5. Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows. These securities amount to $86,591 or 0.06% of the Fund’s net assets at period end.

6. All or a portion of the security position is when-issued or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after period end. See Note 4 of the accompanying Notes.

7. Restricted security. The aggregate value of restricted securities at period end was $7,591, which represents 0.01% of the Fund’s net assets. See Note 4 of the accompanying Notes. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:

8. All or a portion of the security position is held in accounts at a futures clearing merchant and pledged to cover margin requirements on open futures contracts and written options on futures, if applicable. The aggregate market value of such securities is $170,398. See Note 6 of the accompanying Notes.

9. All or a portion of the security position has been pledged for collateral in association with forward roll transactions. See Note 4 of the accompanying Notes.

10. This bond has no contractual maturity date, is not redeemable and contractually pays an indefinite stream of interest.

11. Current yield as of period end.

12. Security issued in an exempt transaction without registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities amount to $21,291,622 or 15.66% of the Fund’s net assets, and have been determined to be liquid pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.

13. Rate shown is the 7-day yield at period end.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 Unaudited

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Total Return Bond Fund/VA (the “Fund”), formerly Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund/VA, a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s main investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both 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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

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.

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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

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 cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds 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 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.

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 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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Details of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

Total

   $     78,809,859  
  

 

 

 

At period end, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $75,069,850 expiring by 2017 and $3,389,011, which will not expire. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $350,988 of capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is for reporting periods after August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Fund’s

 

24        OPPENHEIMER TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND/VA


    

 

 

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

assets are valued.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, short-term notes, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices. Pricing services generally price debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, but some trades may occur in smaller, “odd lot” sizes, sometimes at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, as well as other appropriate factors.

Structured securities, swaps, swaptions, and other over-the-counter derivatives are valued utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include market information relevant to the underlying reference asset such as the price of financial instruments, stock market indices, foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, commodities, credit spreads, credit event probabilities, index values, individual security values, forward interest rates, variable interest rates, volatility measures, and forward currency rates, or the occurrence of other specific events.

Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager regularly compares prior day prices and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

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. Various data inputs may be 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-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

4. Investments and Risks

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Affiliated Funds.

Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”), formerly known as Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.

At period end, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis

as follows:

 

     

When-Issued or
Delayed Delivery

Basis Transactions

 

Purchased securities

     $104,661,672  

Sold securities

     57,582,823  

The Fund may enter into “forward roll” transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) 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 records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.

Forward roll transactions may be deemed to entail embedded leverage since the Fund purchases mortgage-related securities with extended settlement dates rather than paying for the securities under a normal settlement cycle. This embedded leverage increases the Fund’s market value of investments relative to its net assets which can incrementally increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Forward roll transactions can be replicated over multiple settlement periods.

Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; and counterparty credit risk.

At period end, the Fund pledged $23,054 of collateral to the counterparty for forward roll transactions.

Restricted Securities. At period end, investments in securities included issues that are restricted. A restricted security may have a contractual restriction on its resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. Securities that are restricted are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments. Restricted securities are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments.

Shareholder Concentration. At period end, two shareholders each owned 20% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

 

 

6. Use of Derivatives

The Fund’s investment objective not only permits the Fund to purchase investment securities, it also allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives

 

27        OPPENHEIMER TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND/VA


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

 

 

6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)

 

may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. Futures contracts and options thereon are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value in an account registered in the futures commission merchant’s name. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the futures commission merchant each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the futures commission merchant can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations.

Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

The Fund may purchase and/or sell financial futures contracts and options on futures contracts to gain exposure to, or decrease exposure to interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, volatility risk, or commodity risk.

During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $24,294,787 and $15,275,782 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.

Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, the price or volatility of asset or non-asset references, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Swaps can be executed in a bi-lateral privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction (“OTC swaps”) or executed on a regulated market. Certain swaps, regardless of the venue of their execution, are required to be cleared through a clearinghouse (“centrally cleared swaps”). Swap contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit default, currency, and volatility swaps.

Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The values of centrally cleared swap and OTC swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund, if any, at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference rate or asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps have embedded leverage, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely

payments of interest or principal on a debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a corporate issuer, sovereign issuer, or a basket or index of issuers (the “reference asset”).

The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.

The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized

 

28        OPPENHEIMER TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND/VA


 

 

6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)

 

loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.

If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the swap less the market value of specified debt securities issued by the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between such value and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.

The Fund may purchase or sell credit protection through credit default swaps to increase or decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/or indexes of issuers that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.

For the reporting period, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $2,983,986 on credit default swaps to sell protection.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.

    For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

    The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for centrally cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for centrally cleared swaps.

    With respect to centrally cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

    There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate centrally cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.

    Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including centrally cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.

    For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

9. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

  Fee Schedule           

 

Up to $1 billion

     0.60  

Over $1 billion

     0.50    

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.60% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

 

30        OPPENHEIMER TOTAL RETURN BOND FUND/VA


    

 

 

9. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

 

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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 with the compensation deferral plan.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding any applicable dividend expense, taxes, interest and fees from borrowing, any subsidiary expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, brokerage commissions, unusual and infrequent expenses and certain other Fund expenses; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service shares and 1.00% for Service shares.

During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund as follows:

Non-Service shares

   $                 40,679  

Service shares

     25,204  

This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

    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 IGMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $1,327 for IGMMF management fees. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

 

10. Borrowings and Other Financing

Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund did not utilize the Facility during the reporting period.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive communication in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.

For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, then the ’Detailed’ tab; where ‘Dividends’ are shown, the Fund’s latest pay date will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the MSCI All Country World Index, a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets. The Index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the Index. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Performance Discussion

For the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2017, the Fund’s Non-Service shares returned 19.95% versus the MSCI All Country World Index (“the Index”), its benchmark, which returned 11.48%. The Fund outperformed the Index in all eleven sectors of the Index, led by stock selection in the consumer discretionary and financials sectors. In addition, the Fund’s underweight position to the energy sector resulted in outperformance versus the Index. We are perennially underweight energy, and the same is true for materials. We like certain companies for the technology or their access to a very scarce resource. However, we don’t believe that we can predict either energy or materials prices consistently, and so will continue to invest relatively little in those sectors. The energy sector was the only negative performing sector of the Index this reporting period, causing our underweight position to benefit.

MARKET REVIEW

The market strength that began post the U.S. election continued over the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2017. Dissipating global political uncertainty and improving economic growth around the world encouraged stocks around the world to continue rising, supported by encouraging economic updates and healthy corporate earnings. As of the reporting period’s end, we have a more hawkish tone emerging from the U.S. Federal Reserve, but interest rates remain at levels, rarely if ever, observed. As such, we believe there remains ample opportunity for the economy to expand without interest rates interfering.

FUND REVIEW

Top performing holdings this reporting period included DLF Ltd., S&P Global, Inc. and Alphabet, Inc.

DLF is an Indian real estate owner/operator in the midst of a restructuring. In the first quarter of 2017, they took several steps to strengthen their financial condition. In addition, among the reforms introduced by the Modi government has been the approval of real estate investment trusts (REITs). We believe this will allow for the still fragmented Indian real estate market to consolidate and DLF is positioned to be a beneficiary.

S&P Global continued to have strong business momentum. The core ratings business has been thriving due to an upswing in syndicated bank loan issuance, in particular. Also, the S&P indices have been beneficiaries of strong ETF demand, where they earn royalty streams.

Alphabet continued to monetize its rich asset base steadily and thoughtfully. The company is a leader in online ad spending, online video, location based services, cloud services, and has the largest mobile operating system in the world. We believe these assets all still have significant capacity to grow their monetization rates and its end markets.

Top detractors from performance included TechnipFMC plc, International Game Technology plc and Goldman Sachs Group, Inc.

TechnipFMC plc is the global leader in offshore oil infrastructure equipment and services. Shares of the company declined with the rest of the energy group during the reporting period. We believe the competitive position of the company has strengthened with the FMC combination.

International Game Technology is engaged in operating and providing an integrated portfolio of technology products and services across various gaming markets, including lottery management services, sports betting, online and instant lotteries, electronic gaming machines, interactive gaming and commercial services. The company reported results in May for the first quarter ended March 31, 2017, which were lower than expected. We believe this weakness is temporary and should reverse as new products come to market.

Goldman Sachs Group corrected in March after its share price rose by 80% in the prior eight months. After a big run up in late 2016 and early this year the stock has drifted sideways to down in an up environment for most equities. Concerns over the lack of volatility in markets and its impact on fixed income trading have led to weakness.

OUTLOOK AND POSITIONING

Using our thematic, long-term, investment style, we seek quality businesses with sustainability of both enterprise and advantage. We hope to buy these at prices that do not fully reflect their future value, usually because the current understanding of that value by the market is misestimated for a reason that is temporary. For that, we have to be willing to go against the market’s current beliefs and invest with deep conviction in our views.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended June 30, 2017” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Service shares

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios          

Non-Service shares

     0.76%              

Service shares

     1.01                 

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 Unaudited

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Global Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s main investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both 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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close as described in Note 3.

(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Statement of Operations.                

For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

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.

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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

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 cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

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 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.

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 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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Details of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

 

Expiring       

 

 

No expiration

   $         17,365,953  

At period end, it is estimated that there would be no capital loss carryforwards. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $17,365,953 of capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

 

Total federal tax cost

   $ 1,222,868,662  
  

 

 

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

   $ 1,425,996,063  

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (75,186,726
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

   $   1,350,809,337  
  

 

 

 

Certain foreign countries impose a tax on capital gains which is accrued by the Fund based on unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. The tax is paid when the gain is realized.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is for reporting periods after August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation

 

14        OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL FUND/VA


 

 

 

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.    

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:    

Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

Classifications

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. Various data inputs may be 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-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at period end based on valuation input level:

4. Investments and Risks

Risks of Foreign Investing. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which are subject to special risks. Securities traded in foreign markets may be less liquid and more volatile than those traded in U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult for the Fund to evaluate a foreign company’s operations or financial condition. A change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of investments denominated in that foreign currency and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those investments. The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in the settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the United States or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company’s assets, or other political and economic factors. In addition, due to the inter-relationship of global economies and financial markets, changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Foreign securities and foreign currencies held in foreign banks and securities depositories may be subject to limited or no regulatory oversight.

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Affiliated Funds.

Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”) which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.

The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Shareholder Concentration. At period end, a shareholder owned 20% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of debt to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general,

 

16        OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL FUND/VA


 

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)

 

lower-grade, higher-yield debt securities are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality securities.

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

  Fee Schedule             

 

 

Up to $200 million

     0.75  

Next $200 million

     0.72    

Next $200 million

     0.69    

Next $200 million

     0.66    

Next $4.2 billion

     0.60    

Over $5 billion

     0.58    

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.63% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

 

 

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

 

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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 with the compensation deferral plan.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Prior to May 1, 2017, the Fund was subject to an expense limitation wherein the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; as percentages of daily net assets, would not exceed the annual rate of 1.00% for Non-Service shares and 1.25% for Service shares. The expense limitations do not include interest and fees from borrowing, and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. Effective May 1, 2017, this expense limitation has been removed.

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 IGMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $18,774 for IGMMF management fees. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

 

9. Borrowings and Other Financing

Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund did not utilize the Facility during the reporting period.

 

 

10. Prior Period Reclassification

An adjustment to reflect a prior period reclassification between net investment income and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and/or net realized gain (loss) on investments during the years ending December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 has been made to properly reflect income distributions received by the Fund from two of its investments.

The following adjustments are reflected in the respective fiscal years per the Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Financial Highlights:

 

      2013      2014      2015  

Net investment income (loss)

   $ 1,678,655      $ 1,668,338      $ 1,749,447  

Net realized gain (loss)

     (163,217      (275,757      (222,558

Net change in unrealized appreciation/

depreciation

     (1,515,438      (1,392,581      (1,526,889

The cumulative impact of these adjustments are also reflected in the respective component of net assets on the Statement of Assets and liabilities and had no impact on total net assets or net asset values per share of the Fund.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive communication in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.    

For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, then the ’Detailed’ tab; where ‘Dividends’ are shown, the Fund’s latest pay date will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index. The S&P 500 Index is a broad-based measure of domestic stock performance. The Index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the Index. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Non-Service shares returned 9.55% during the reporting period. In comparison, the Fund outperformed the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”), which returned 9.34%. The Fund outperformed the Index in eight out of eleven sectors, led by stock selection in the information technology, financials and energy sectors. The Fund underperformed the Index in the industrials, health care and consumer discretionary sectors, as a result of weaker relative stock selection.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Domestic equities posted solid gains over the six-month reporting period, continuing the strong upward move following the November 2016 election. While the gains were across market capitalizations, larger-cap companies generally saw better returns than smaller-cap companies, and growth-oriented companies generally outperformed value stocks.

The top performing sector of the S&P 500 Index during the reporting period was information technology, reflecting the preference for growth this period. Other strongly performing sectors included consumer discretionary (reflecting continued consumer confidence) and health care (reversing weakness observed in late 2016). On the other side of the coin, the weakest sector by far was energy, thanks to falling commodity prices. The telecommunication services sector also experienced weakness.

Revenues, earnings and cash flows for U.S. corporations continued to grow in the second quarter. However, on the political front, the Trump administration has had a slower than expected start. As a result, we have dialed back our probabilities for outcomes favorable to future corporate earnings such as lower tax rates and regulatory barriers.

As investors, it is important to know what is and what is not within one’s circle of competence. As such, we strive to keep the portfolio in an all-weather orientation. Whether rates, commodity prices, currencies or even whole economies go up or down, our goal is to have a portfolio that has the potential to outperform no matter the environment.

If our strategy includes not making oversized macro factor bets, a reasonable question is, “What types of risks are you willing to take?” First, we believe identifying companies with sustainable competitive advantages (or economic moats, if you prefer), is squarely in the middle of our circle of competence.

Second, we believe we have the skills to identify company management teams that are likely to successfully execute on their plans. Lastly, we believe that correctly valuing stocks and seeing what expectations the market is pricing in is also within our skillset. It is not by accident that we weight the portfolio more heavily towards companies that we believe have structural competitive advantages and/or management teams that are executing (e.g. gaining market share, expanding profit margins), with at least reasonable stock valuations.

Allow us to use a metaphor. If managing the portfolio was like betting on horses, we’d readily admit that we cannot predict ahead of time the weather or track conditions. But we do believe we can find the strongest horses (advantaged business models), the best jockeys (executing management teams), and can see when the payoff odds are in our favor (positive expected returns). To offset our agnostic position on the conditions, we make sure to have some horses in the stable that we believe will win no matter the weather. In short, it boils down to mostly stock selection.

TOP INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS

Top contributors to the Fund’s performance this period included Apple, Alphabet and Facebook.

Amid its iPhone 7 product cycle, Apple reported a solid quarter and offered comforting guidance that suggests fears of mediocre product acceptance were unfounded. Despite three years of only modest iPhone feature upgrades, the market’s attention has rapidly shifted to the potential for a significant iPhone 8 cycle this Fall, with new screens, wireless charging, etc. These more compelling features would come at the same time the growing installed base of iPhone users have held on to their existing phones for longer and longer, setting the stage for an acceleration in Apple’s business.

Alphabet (the holding company of Google) reported a solid set of results that fueled a rerating of the company. Alphabet continued to monetize its rich asset base steadily and thoughtfully. The company is a leader in online ad spending, online video, location based services, cloud services, and has the largest mobile operating system in the world.

 

3      OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET FUND/VA


Facebook continued to perform well this reporting period. The company reported strong first quarter results, with revenue beating analysts’ estimates due to strong growth across its applications and solid demand for its mobile ads. Additionally the company continues to increase its moat versus competitors.

TOP INDIVIDUAL DETRACTORS

Detractors from performance this reporting period included AutoZone, General Electric and Verizon Communications.

During AutoZone’s fiscal third quarter, there was further deceleration of comparable store sales which came in below expectations. This further highlighted that the company may be running at a lower EPS (earnings per share) growth rate in the near term (mid-single-digit to high-single-digit) versus double digit growth previously as comparisons are slower and some margin headwinds (some temporary, some not) weigh on earnings. The slowdown appears to be industry-wide as their key competitors have experienced decelerations also. Given the shadow that Amazon is casting in U.S. retail, multiples for AutoZone and its peers have compressed as fears of share gains and price compression at the hands of Amazon have gotten extreme.

General Electric declined in the second quarter after the company delivered yet another uninspiring earnings report in April. We and the markets continue to have concerns that management’s 2017-18 financial targets are overly optimistic. Our investment thesis is that GE will slim down to focus on areas where it has a competitive advantage and good business economics. The company announced that a new CEO will take over. We believe this earlier-than-expected CEO transition is at least a partial acknowledgement that a new direction and fresh approach will be needed to drive shareholder value creation going forward.

Verizon Communications faced increased competition and reported earnings and sales over the quarter that missed estimates.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

While bottom-up company research and stock selection continue to be central to our process and strategy, we do have some observations about the current environment. Although the exact forms and timing of changes that may take place as a result of the U.S. elections are still unclear, here are our base case expectations for what will happen in the year ahead:

 

  Lower regulatory burdens, over and above the change already seen

 

  Modestly lower U.S. corporate tax rates (fewer companies re-domiciling outside the U.S., and maybe some companies coming back)

 

  Offsetting the lower tax rates, fewer specialized deductions

 

  Greater fiscal stimulus, most notably defense and infrastructure spending

 

  Rhetoric around protectionism in many forms, including higher import tariffs

 

  Higher wages

While some of these changes—most notably tax rates—would directly lead to earnings growth in the near term, these changes do present some material risks that need to be considered. Supply chains today are highly globalized, and higher friction within global trade could lead to disruptions and higher costs for our companies. Moreover, other countries could easily create retaliatory protectionist policies of their own, reducing demand for U.S. exports and/or making life more difficult for overseas operations of our companies. Finally, deflation has been the bigger concern in recent years, but these policies are clearly swinging the pendulum toward higher inflation. In moderation, inflation is helpful, but we are mindful that sometimes the pendulum can swing too far.

At the moment, the U.S. economy continues its “slow and steady” growth. This is being driven by favorable employment, wage and inflation data while home prices and innovation also continue to help drive the economy higher.

U.S. corporate revenues, earnings, and free cash flow have resumed their moderate growth. The post-election strength in U.S. equity markets and the return of the “risk on trade” indicates that consensus expects earnings growth to accelerate further in the quarters ahead.

We remain laser-focused on the rise in “accounting shenanigans” and the expanding spread between GAAP earnings and pro-forma adjusted earnings. This, combined with ongoing financial engineering, e.g., tax inversions and other obfuscations, have caused us to place increasing emphasis on judging the attractiveness of an investment based on free cash flow, rather than earnings.

 

4      OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET FUND/VA


While interest rates have increased in recent months, they are still very low relative to historical standards. Current capital allocation is fueled by this environment of ongoing relatively low interest rates. We believe the risks inherent to this market include the misallocation of capital if interest rates were to rise materially. We intend to maintain our discipline around valuation. Additionally, while innovation is alive and well and continuing to help generate economic growth, fundamental disruptions across market segments have been elevated. We continue to be focused on potential disruption risk to our companies.

We expect heightened uncertainty to return in the equity markets. Traditionally, during periods of economic uncertainty and heightened market volatility, investors favor stocks of higher quality companies—with greater consistency and stability of revenue and earnings—leading to relatively better stock performance of those companies. We think focusing on companies with economic moats and skilled management teams positions us well, should this environment come to pass. During times of economic volatility such companies frequently widen their lead over weaker competitors. We seek to invest in companies, characterized by these qualities, at compelling valuations and believe this disciplined approach is essential to generating superior long-term performance.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended June 30, 2017” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios          

Non-Service shares

     0.78%              

Service shares

     1.03                 

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 Unaudited

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both 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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close as described in Note 3.

(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Statement of Operations.

For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

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.

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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Return of Capital Estimates. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and Real Estate Investments Trusts (REITs), generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP, REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.

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 cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 2.00%. The “Reduction to custodian

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

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 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.

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 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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund utilized $2,513,988 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

At period end, it is estimated that there would be no capital loss carryforwards. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

 

Federal tax cost of securities

     $     961,659,891     
  

 

 

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

     $ 380,050,060     

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (8,666,154)    
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

    $ 371,383,906     
  

 

 

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is for reporting periods after August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

 

 

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

Classifications

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.

Various data inputs may be 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-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at period end based on valuation input level:

value at measurement date.

 

 

4. Investments and Risks

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Affiliated Funds.

Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”), which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.

Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs issue common units that represent an equity ownership interest in a partnership and provide limited voting rights. MLP common units are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and are freely tradable on securities exchanges such as the NYSE and the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), or in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. An MLP consists of one or more general partners, who conduct the business, and one or more limited partners, who contribute capital. MLP common unit holders have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management. The Fund, as a limited partner, normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amounts the Fund has contributed, but would not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner. This right of an MLP’s creditors would continue after the Fund sold its investment in the MLP.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.

The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Shareholder Concentration. At period end, one shareholder owned 20% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

Fee Schedule        

Up to $200 million

     0.75%        

Next $200 million

     0.72           

Next $200 million

     0.69           

Next $200 million

     0.66           

Next $200 million

     0.60           

Next $4 billion

     0.58           

Over $5 billion

     0.56           

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.66% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

 

distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Prior to May 1, 2017, the Fund was subject to an expense limitation wherein the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding any applicable dividend expense, taxes, interest and fees from borrowing, any subsidiary expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, brokerage commissions, unusual and infrequent expenses and certain other Fund expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, would not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. Effective May 1, 2017, this expense limitation has been removed.

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 IGMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $7,781 for IGMMF management fees. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

 

9. Borrowings and Other Financing

Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund did not utilize the Facility during the reporting period.

 

 

10. Acquisition of Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund/VA

On May 1, 2017, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund/VA, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund/VA shareholders on February 10, 2017. The exchange qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes. The purpose of this acquisition is to combine two funds with similar investment objectives, strategies and risks to allow shareholders to benefit from greater asset growth potential, as well as lowered total expenses.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details, on a per-share basis, the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. For certain securities, such as Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), the percentages attributed to each category (net income, net profit from sale and other capital sources) are estimated using historical information because the character of the amounts received from the REITs and MLPs in which the fund invests is unknown until after the end of the calendar year. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive communication in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.

For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, then the ’Detailed’ tab; where ‘Dividends’ are shown, the Fund’s latest pay date will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, which measures the performance of the small-cap segment of the U.S. equity universe.

It includes approximately 2000 of the smallest securities based on a combination of their market cap and current index membership. The Index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only and does not predict or depict the performance of the Fund. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the Index. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Non-Service shares returned 6.98% during the reporting period. In comparison, the Fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Index (the “Index”), which returned 4.99%. The Fund’s outperformance relative to the Index stemmed largely from stronger relative stock selection in the information technology, real estate and energy sectors. Underperformers included stock selection and an underweight position in health care, and stock selection in financials and utilities.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Domestic equities posted solid gains over the six-month reporting period, continuing the strong upward move following the November 2016 election. While the gains were across market capitalizations, larger-cap companies generally saw better returns than smaller-cap companies, and growth-oriented companies generally outperformed value stocks.

Top performing sectors of the Russell 2000 Index during the reporting period were health care, information technology, telecommunication services and utilities. On the other side of the coin, the weakest sector by far was energy, thanks to falling commodity prices. Consumer staples also experienced losses and financials fell modestly for the Index.

Revenues, earnings and cash flows for U.S. corporations continued to grow during the reporting period. However, on the political front, the Trump administration has had a slower than expected start. As a result, we have dialed back our probabilities for outcomes favorable to future corporate earnings such as lower tax rates and regulatory barriers.

As investors, it is important to know what is and what is not within one’s circle of competence. As such, we strive to keep the portfolio in an all-weather orientation. Whether rates, commodity prices, currencies or even whole economies go up or down, our goal is to have a portfolio that has the potential to outperform no matter the environment.

Second, we believe we have the skills to identify company management teams that are likely to successfully execute on their plans. Lastly, we believe that correctly valuing stocks and seeing what expectations the market is pricing in is also within our skillset. It is not by accident that we weight the portfolio more heavily towards companies that we believe have structural competitive advantages and/or management teams that are executing (e.g., gaining market share, expanding profit margins), with at least reasonable stock valuations. We believe companies with these qualities generally have more stable earnings.

TOP INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS

Top contributors to the Fund’s performance this period included Pegasystems, DuPont Fabros Technology and Spectranetics. Pegasystems has been benefitting from its real time decision technology for recommending marketing and sales actions. In addition, the company’s increased focus on developing its system integrator ecosystem has been helping to drive volumes while also lowering the mix of services revenue. We continue to like the company’s positioning for predictive analytics and real-time decision technology. During the reporting period, Digital Realty Trust announced plans to acquire data center REIT DuPont Fabros Technology, which benefited our investment in DuPont Fabros. In addition, Philips announced the acquisition of medical device maker Spectranetics for $38.50 a share in cash, a 27% premium.

TOP INDIVIDUAL DETRACTORS

Detractors from performance this reporting period included Sally Beauty Holdings, Group 1 Automotive and Matthews International.

Sally Beauty is the largest retailer of professional beauty supplies in the world. Concerns about the sustainability of many U.S. retail models due to Amazon, combined with uneven execution at beauty products retailer Sally Beauty, have pressured the stock, resulting in a valuation suggesting a truly broken retail story. Though we did reduce our position, we continue to believe that the company’s model (two thirds of its sales flow through a loyalty program, one third of sales are to a professional customer) is viable and that self-inflicted execution issues can be resolved.

Auto dealer Group 1 Automotive declined after reporting a weaker than expected first quarter and forward guidance, due primarily to softness in their largest markets of Texas and Oklahoma. The energy bust of the past few years has taken a toll on auto demand, most notably in the Houston market. In addition, investor pessimism about the future national rate of vehicle sales (“SAAR”) weighed on the entire dealer peer group, including Group 1. We believe the stock is oversold and the valuation is compelling, so we are maintaining our position in the shares.

 

3      OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET SMALL CAP FUND/VA


Matthews International is a provider of graphics and imaging solutions, memorialization products and industrial technologies. It experienced declines this quarter due to a slowdown in demand for graphics services, as regulatory changes in food labeling on packages have been delayed. We expect this area to recover and are maintaining our position in the shares.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

At the moment, the U.S. economy continues its “slow and steady” growth. This is being driven by favorable employment, wage and inflation data while home prices and innovation also continue to help drive the economy higher.

U.S. corporate revenues, earnings, and free cash flow have continued their moderate growth. The post-election strength in U.S. equity markets and the return of the “risk on trade” indicates that consensus expects earnings growth to accelerate further in the quarters ahead.

We remain laser-focused on the rise in “accounting shenanigans” and the expanding spread between GAAP earnings and pro-forma adjusted earnings. This, combined with ongoing financial engineering, e.g., tax inversions and other obfuscations, have caused us to place increasing emphasis on judging the attractiveness of an investment based on free cash flow, rather than earnings.

While interest rates have increased in recent months, they are still very low relative to historical standards. Current capital allocation is fueled by this environment of ongoing relatively low interest rates. We believe the risks inherent to this market include the misallocation of capital if interest rates were to rise materially. We intend to maintain our discipline around valuation. Additionally, while innovation is alive and well and continuing to help generate economic growth, fundamental disruptions across market segments have been elevated. We continue to be focused on potential disruption risk to our companies.

We expect heightened uncertainty to return in the equity markets. Traditionally, during periods of economic uncertainty and heightened market volatility, investors favor stocks of higher quality companies—with greater consistency and stability of revenue and earnings—leading to relatively better stock performance of those companies. We think seeking companies with economic moats and skilled management teams positions us well, should this environment come to pass. During times of economic volatility such companies frequently widen their lead over weaker competitors. We seek to invest in companies, characterized by these qualities, at compelling valuations and believe this disciplined approach is essential to generating superior long-term performance.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended June 30, 2017” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios         

Non-Service shares

     0.80%            

Service shares

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 Unaudited

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both 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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

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.

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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Return of Capital Estimates. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and Real Estate Investments Trusts (REITs), generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP, REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.

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 cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds 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 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.

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 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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, including

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

At period end, it is estimated that there would be no capital loss carryforward. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will not utilize capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

 

Federal tax cost of securities

    $ 847,047,715     
  

 

 

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

    $ 246,053,077     

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (25,164,712)    
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

    $     220,888,365     
  

 

 

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is for reporting periods after August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

Classifications

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. Various data inputs may be 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-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at period end based on valuation input level:

 

    

Level 1—

Unadjusted

Quoted Prices

4. Investments and Risks

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Affiliated Funds.

Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

 

 

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

 

or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”), which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.

Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs issue common units that represent an equity ownership interest in a partnership and provide limited voting rights. MLP common units are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and are freely tradable on securities exchanges such as the NYSE and the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), or in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. An MLP consists of one or more general partners, who conduct the business, and one or more limited partners, who contribute capital. MLP common unit holders have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management. The Fund, as a limited partner, normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amounts the Fund has contributed, but would not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner. This right of an MLP’s creditors would continue after the Fund sold its investment in the MLP.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.

The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Shareholder Concentration. At period end, one shareholder owned 20% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

  Fee Schedule        

Up to $200 million

     0.75%         

Next $200 million

     0.72            

Next $200 million

     0.69            

Next $200 million

     0.66            

Next $200 million

     0.60            

Next $4 billion

     0.58            

Over $5 billion

     0.56            

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.68% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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 with the compensation deferral plan.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

 

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding any applicable dividend expense, taxes, interest and fees from borrowing, any subsidiary expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, brokerage commissions, unusual and infrequent expenses and certain other Fund expenses; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares.

During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund as follows:

 

Non-Service shares

   $             1,954  

Service shares

     11,429  

This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

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 IGMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $ 8,927 for IGMMF management fees. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

 

9. Borrowings and Other Financing

Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations.

PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND GUIDELINES; UPDATES TO STATEMENTS OF INVESTMENTS Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Guidelines under which the Fund votes proxies relating to securities (“portfolio proxies”) held by the Fund. A description of the Fund’s Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Guidelines is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677), (ii) on the Fund’s website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com, and (iii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the 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 voting record is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677), and (ii) in the Form N-PX filing on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first quarter and the third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Those forms may be reviewed and copied at the SEC’s Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C. Information on the operation of the Public Reference Room may be obtained by calling 1-800-SEC-0330.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details, on a per-share basis, the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. For certain securities, such as Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs”) and Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”), the percentages attributed to each category (net income, net profit from sale and other capital sources) are estimated using historical information because the character of the amounts received from the REITs and MLPs in which the fund invests is unknown until after the end of the calendar year. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive communication in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.

For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, then the ‘Detailed’ tab; where ‘Dividends’ are shown, the Fund’s latest pay date will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Yields are annualized and include dividends in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

On April 29, 2016, the Fund converted from Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA to Oppenheimer Government Money Fund/VA.1 As such, the Fund now operates as a government money market fund, which requires that it invest 99.5% or more of its total assets in cash, government securities and/or repurchase agreements that are collateralized solely by government securities or cash. As a government money market fund, the Fund invests primarily in government agency securities, such as Federal Home Loan Bank System obligations, and short-term repurchase agreements collateralized by agency and treasury securities. Under the new rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) effective in October 14, 2016, the Fund posts current and historical Fund metrics on the oppenheimerfunds.com website. Among these are the market based NAV, Daily Liquid Assets, Weekly Liquid Assets and Fund Net Inflows or Outflows.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

Throughout the reporting period, the Fund continued to offer very strong liquidity and a stable $1.00 net asset value (NAV), while providing competitive income. Short-term government market rates have risen in conjunction with the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) raising its overnight benchmark Federal Funds rate in December 2016, March 2017, and June 2017. The Fund has benefited from its low weighted average maturity (WAM), as positions have matured and we have reinvested at higher rates. We would expect that should the Fed raise its overnight rate in either September or December that the Fund’s yield would increase as well.

An investment in the Fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

1. In connection with new rules governing money market funds fully implemented in October 2016, effective April 29, 2016, Oppenheimer Monet Fund/VA changed its name to Oppenheimer Government Money Fund/VA, and made changes to its investment strategies that will enable it to operate as a government money market fund.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During During 6 Months Ended June 30, 2017” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). This annualized expense ratio, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017 is as follows:

 

Expense Ratio            

 

0.50%            

 

The expense ratio reflects voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” table in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also shows the gross expense ratio, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 Unaudited

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Government Money Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek income consistent with stability of principal. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

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. GAAP, 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 but may be paid at other times to maintain the net asset value per share at $1.00.

The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.

Investment Income. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

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 cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds 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 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.

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 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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Details of the capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates.

 

Expiring       

 

 

No expiration

   $     215  

Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains in the remaining six months of the Fund’s fiscal year. When increased by capital loss carryforwards in existence at June 30, 2017, the Fund had estimated capital loss carryforwards of $1,130 which will not expire. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is for reporting periods after August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined under procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, are fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

Classifications

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. Various data inputs may be 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-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are measured using net asset value and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at period end based on valuation input level:

4. Investments and Risks

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Affiliated Funds.

Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”) which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.

At period end, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis as follows:

 

    

When-Issued or

Delayed Delivery

Basis Transactions

 

 

 

Purchased securities

     $3,000,000  

Shareholder Concentration. At period end, one shareholder owned 20% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

 

14      OPPENHEIMER GOVERNMENT MONEY FUND/VA


 

 

5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)

 

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

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

 

 

6. Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

7. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

Fee Schedule             

 

 

Up to $500 million

     0.450  

Next $500 million

     0.425    

Next $500 million

     0.400    

Over $1.5 billion

     0.375    

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.45% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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 with the compensation deferral plan.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has voluntarily undertaken to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to assist the Fund in attempting to maintain a positive yield. There is no guarantee that the Fund will maintain a positive yield. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.50%. As a result of this

limitation, the Manager waived $203,744 for the reporting period.

The Manager is permitted to recapture previously waived and/or reimbursed fees in any given fiscal year if the recapture would not: 1) cause the Fund to generate a negative daily yield, and 2) exceed amounts previously waived and/or reimbursed under this arrangement during the current and prior three fiscal years. The reimbursement to the Manager of such previous waivers and reimbursements would not include any portion of distribution and/or service fees. At period end, the following waived and/or reimbursed amounts are eligible for recapture:

The Manager has not recaptured any previously waived and/or reimbursed amounts during the reporting period.

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 IGMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $4,724 for IGMMF management fees. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

 

8. Repurchase Agreements

Repurchase Agreements. In a repurchase transaction, a Fund buys a security and simultaneously sells it back to an approved institution 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 institutions 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 investment adviser from time to time. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized. However, if the seller fails to pay the repurchase price on the delivery date, a 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, a Fund’s ability to liquidate the collateral may be delayed or limited.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive communication in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.

For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, then the ’Detailed’ tab; where ‘Dividends’ are shown, the Fund’s latest pay date will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results.  The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, an index of U.S. Government and corporate bonds. The Index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the Index. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

For securities rated only by an NRSRO other than S&P, OppenheimerFunds converts that rating to the equivalent S&P rating. If two or more NRSROs have assigned a rating to a security, the highest S&P equivalent rating is used. Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be the equivalent of investment-grade. “Investment-grade” securities are securities rated within the NRSRO’s four highest rating categories, which include AAA, AA, A and BBB.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a return of 3.79% during the reporting period, versus the 2.27% return provided by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index (the “Index”).

MARKET OVERVIEW

During the reporting period, markets continued their general risk-on mode started by the surprise election of Donald Trump in November 2016, as equities climbed and credit spreads narrowed to tight levels not seen since 2015. U.S. GDP growth continued to progress as employment and wage gains suggested the U.S. may be approaching full employment. Business and consumer confidence indicators were among its highest levels in the current expansion. While consumption growth has slowed modestly from a strong pace, the recovery in investment expenditures, a weaker dollar, and a stronger housing sector added to growth. The financial markets have grown quite comfortable with a continuation of U.S. economic growth of around 2.0% and inflation somewhat below that level. Outside of the U.S., growth has tended to surprise to the upside. Europe, Canada, and Australia are a few examples, prompting their central banks to prepare the markets for future policy tightening. Emerging markets performed well during the reporting period. Global growth remained firm which helped the asset class to perform well. However, political developments, coordinated central bank hawkishness, and commodity performance led to notable divergence.

As its dual mandates of full employment and price stability were approached, the Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) continued to reduce monetary accommodation and normalized rates. The Fed hiked interest rates 0.25% in March and June, and also signaled the potential for balance sheet normalization later this year, possibly in September, along with another hike in December. The unemployment rate fell slightly to 4.4%, which is within the range of the Fed’s latest estimates of non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment. The Fed has been less successful on their inflation mandate. Headline and core inflation fell over the second quarter of 2017 and continue to be at levels below the Fed’s stated target. The markets have continued to behave well throughout the tightening cycle, so well that board members now seem concerned that financial conditions are too loose. We believe the appropriate response for this would be some action on balance sheet normalization, sooner rather than later.

As mentioned above, market performance continued to be positive for most risk assets during the six-month reporting period, with equities performing positively. Early in the reporting period, U.S. Treasury rates marched higher as the 10-year Treasury rate increased 19 basis points (bps) to 2.63% before falling quickly through the end of the period to 2.31%. This ultimately contributed to U.S. Treasuries generating a positive total return. For the reporting period, credit sectors of the investment-grade fixed-income market posted positive absolute performance and also outperformed U.S. Treasuries.

FUND REVIEW

During the reporting period, the Fund’s outperformance versus the Index stemmed largely from its exposure to emerging market credit and emerging market local bonds. Emerging market credit outperformed U.S. and European credit markets during the reporting period. Concerns that President Trump’s policies would lead to a new round of dollar strength and potential trade protectionism weighed on the emerging market outlook going into 2017, but the U.S. dollar weakened and protectionism fears eased over the first half of 2017. The Fund maintained an overall neutral position but with a greater tilt toward higher-yielding credits, in particular state-owned oil & gas companies, which have been repairing their credit profiles but offered a significant yield advantage over their government bonds. Emerging market local bonds benefited as global growth remained firm. Top performers for the Fund included Mexico and Indonesia. An Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) win in Mexico City removed key political risk and Mexico and helped drive performance in that country. Our structural long position in Indonesia benefited performance as the country continued to advance strong reform programs.

Outside of emerging markets, the Fund also experienced positive results from high yield and mortgages. On the other hand, the most significant detractors from performance versus the Index were the Fund’s overweight position to U.S. investment grade credit and underweight to U.S. Treasuries.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

The Fund continues to be positioned to seek to take advantage of the current environment of low but reasonably stable growth and inflation and historically low levels of interest rates in developed markets. Though we expect the Fed will start to taper their reinvestment program before the end of this year, we are less certain about the likelihood of another interest rate hike in 2017.

Solid economic fundamentals and positive earnings growth lead us to continue to like high yield corporate bonds, though we have reduced our exposure recently based on valuation. We like senior floating rate loans for similar reasons. In addition we believe loans should outperform other credit sectors should the Fed hike rates at a more aggressive pace than the market expects. In addition, we continue to look for opportunities to add to our mortgage-backed securities &

commercial mortgage-backed securities position on any back up in spreads. Outside of the U.S., we like EM local and credit bonds based on robust growth combined with stable to falling inflation.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended June 30, 2017” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017 are as follows:

Non-Service shares

     0.75%                   

Service shares

     1.00                      

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager and Transfer Agent. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Consolidated Footnotes to Statement of Investments

1. Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of Trustees. These securities amount to $502,067,058 or 29.55% of the Fund’s net assets at period end.

2. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security.

3. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $2,729,792 or 0.16% of the Fund’s net assets at period end.

4. Interest rate is less than 0.0005%.

5. All or a portion of the security position is when-issued or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after period end. See Note 4 of the accompanying Consolidated Notes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 Unaudited

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s main investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both 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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Basis for Consolidation. The Fund has established a Cayman Islands exempted company, Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund/VA (Cayman) Ltd., which is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund (the “Subsidiary”). The Fund and Subsidiary are both managed by the Manager. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary invests primarily in Regulation S securities. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions and guidelines, and follows the same compliance policies and procedures, as the Fund.

The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. At period end, the Fund owned 51,485 shares with net assets of $4,456,362 in the Subsidiary.

Other financial information at period end:

Total market value of investments

   $ 533,946  

Net assets

   $             4,456,362  

Net income (loss)

   $ (22,204

Net realized gain (loss)

   $ 20,225  

Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation

   $ 13,580  

Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close as described in Note 3.

(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

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.

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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends

 

40      OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL STRATEGIC INCOME FUND/VA


 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Return of Capital Estimates. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Consolidated 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 cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds 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 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.

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 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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

Subchapter M requires, among other things, that at least 90% of the Fund’s gross income be derived from securities or derived with respect to its business of investing in securities (typically referred to as “qualifying income”). Income from commodity-linked derivatives may not be treated as “qualifying income” for purposes of the 90% gross income requirement. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has previously issued a number of private letter rulings which conclude that income derived from commodity index-linked notes and investments in a wholly-owned subsidiary will be “qualifying income.” As a result, the Fund will gain exposure to commodities through commodity-linked notes and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

The IRS has suspended the granting of private letter rulings pending further review. As a result, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not change its position with respect to commodity-linked notes and wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, future legislation and guidance from the Treasury and the IRS may adversely affect the fund’s ability to gain exposure to commodities through commodity-linked notes and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Fund is required to include in income for federal income tax purposes all of the subsidiary’s net income and gains whether or not such income is distributed by the subsidiary. Net income and gains from the subsidiary are generally treated as ordinary income by the Fund, regardless of the character of the subsidiary’s underlying income. Net losses from the subsidiary do not pass through to the Fund for federal income tax purposes.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. The Fund had straddle losses of $23,070 which were deferred. Details of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

 

Expiring  

No expiration

   $ 164,682,432  

At period end, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $156,839,988, which will not expire. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will utilize $7,865,514 of capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

 

Federal tax cost of securities    $ 1,780,333,192    
Federal tax cost of other investments      242,984,654    
  

 

 

 
Total federal tax cost    $  2,023,317,846    
  

 

 

 
Gross unrealized appreciation    $ 52,405,769    
Gross unrealized depreciation      (39,767,187)    
  

 

 

 
Net unrealized appreciation    $ 12,638,582    
  

 

 

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is for reporting periods after August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, short-term notes, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices. Pricing services generally price debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, but some trades may occur in smaller, “odd lot” sizes, sometimes at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, as well as other appropriate factors.

Loans are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include information obtained from market participants regarding broker-dealer price quotations.

Structured securities, swaps, swaptions, and other over-the-counter derivatives are valued utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing

 

42      OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL STRATEGIC INCOME FUND/VA


 

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

services or broker-dealers. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include market information relevant to the underlying reference asset such as the price of financial instruments, stock market indices, foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, commodities, credit spreads, credit event probabilities, index values, individual security values, forward interest rates, variable interest rates, volatility measures, and forward currency rates, or the occurrence of other specific events.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward currency rates obtained from third party pricing services. When the settlement date of a contract is an interim date for which a quotation is not available, interpolated values are derived using the nearest dated forward currency rate.

Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager regularly compares prior day prices and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

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. Various data inputs may be 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-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

(a) Securities classified as Level 3 whose unadjusted values were provided by a pricing service or broker-dealer for which such inputs are unobservable. The Manager periodically reviews pricing vendor and broker methodologies and inputs to confirm they are determined using unobservable inputs and have been appropriately classified. Such securities’ fair valuations could change significantly based on changes in unobservable inputs used by the pricing service or broker.

(b) The Fund fair values certain escrow positions received from a restructuring at a nominal value to reflect the low probability of receipt of future payments to be received. The Manager monitors such investments for additional market information or the occurrence of a significant event which would warrant a re-evaluation of the security’s fair valuation. A significant increase (decrease) in the future distribution amount, or a significant increase (decrease) to the probability of payment rate, will result in a significant increase (decrease) to the fair value of the investment.

(c) The Fund fair values certain common stocks received from a restructuring at the estimated amount of future recovery proceeds. This estimate is based on the market value of the position prior to the cash distribution (as determined by a pricing service) less the cash distribution received as part of the restructuring. The Manager monitors such investments for additional market information or the occurrence of a significant event which would warrant a re-evaluation of the security’s fair valuation. A significant increase (decrease) in the future distribution amount will result in a significant increase (decrease) to the fair value of the investment.

 

 

4. Investments and Risks

Risks of Foreign Investing. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which are subject to special risks. Securities traded in foreign markets may be less liquid and more volatile than those traded in U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult for the Fund to evaluate a foreign company’s operations or financial condition. A change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of investments denominated in that foreign currency and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those investments. The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in the settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the United States or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company’s assets, or other political and economic factors. In addition, due to the inter-relationship of global economies and financial markets, changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Foreign securities and foreign currencies held in foreign banks and securities depositories may be subject to limited or no regulatory oversight.

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Affiliated Funds.

Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”), which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.

Investment in Oppenheimer Master Funds. 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 1940 Act, as amended, that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC (“Master Loan”) and Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC (“Master Event-Linked Bond”) (the “Master Funds”). Each 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 one Master Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Master Fund.

The investment objective of Master Loan is to seek income. The investment objective of Master Event-Linked Bond is to seek total return. The Fund’s investments in the Master Funds are included in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain/(loss) on its investments in each 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 Funds. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Master Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Master Funds. The Fund owns 15.2% of Master Loan and 14.7% of Master Event-Linked Bond at period end.

Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs issue common units that represent an equity ownership interest in a partnership and provide limited voting rights. MLP common units are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and are freely tradable on securities exchanges such as the NYSE and the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), or in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. An MLP consists of one or more general partners, who conduct the business, and one or more limited partners, who contribute capital. MLP common unit holders have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management. The Fund, as a limited partner, normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amounts the Fund has contributed, but would not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner. This right of an MLP’s creditors would continue after the Fund sold its investment in the MLP.

Structured Securities. The Fund invests in structured securities whose market values, interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked to the performance of underlying foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, stock market indices, prices of individual securities, commodities or other financial instruments or the occurrence of other specific events. The structured securities are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s market value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element or event. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured security is sold or matures.

Loans. The Fund invests in loans made to U.S. and foreign borrowers that are corporations, partnerships or other business entities. The Fund will do so directly as an original lender or by assignment or indirectly through participation agreements or certain derivative instruments. While many of these loans will be collateralized, the Fund can also invest in uncollateralized loans. Loans are often issued in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, and refinancing of borrowers. The loans often pay interest at rates that float above (or are adjusted periodically based on) a benchmark that reflects current interest rates although the Fund can also invest in loans with fixed interest rates.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.

At period end, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:

 

      When-Issued or
Delayed Delivery
Basis Transactions
 
Purchased securities      $291,233,610  
Sold securities      158,219,727

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

The Fund may enter into “forward roll” transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) 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 records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.

Forward roll transactions may be deemed to entail embedded leverage since the Fund purchases mortgage-related securities with extended settlement dates rather than paying for the securities under a normal settlement cycle. This embedded leverage increases the Fund’s market value of investments relative to its net assets which can incrementally increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Forward roll transactions can be replicated over multiple settlement periods.

Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; and counterparty credit risk.

Restricted Securities. At period end, investments in securities included issues that are restricted. A restricted security may have a contractual restriction on its resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. Securities that are restricted are marked with an applicable footnote on the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Restricted securities are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.

The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities that have missed an interest payment, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers or underlying obligors subsequently miss an interest payment.

Information concerning securities not accruing interest at period end is as follows:

 

Cost      $2,014,088  
Market Value      $3  
Market Value as % of Net Assets      Less than 0.005

Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund invests in sovereign debt securities, which are subject to certain special risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse, or otherwise be unable, to pay interest or repay the principal on its sovereign debt. There may also be no legal process for collecting sovereign debt that a government does not pay or bankruptcy proceedings through which all or part of such sovereign debt may be collected. In addition, a restructuring or default of sovereign debt may also cause additional impacts to the financial markets, such as downgrades to credit ratings, reduced liquidity and increased volatility, among others.

Shareholder Concentration. At period end, three shareholders each owned 20% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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

5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

 

 

6. Use of Derivatives

The Fund’s investment objective not only permits the Fund to purchase investment securities, it also allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date. Such contracts are traded in the OTC inter-bank currency dealer market.

Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable (or payable) and in the Consolidated Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

During the reporting period, the Fund had daily average contract amounts on forward contracts to buy and sell of $307,082,189 and $293,827,790, respectively.

Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty to a forward contract will default and fail to perform its obligations to the Fund.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. Futures contracts and options thereon are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value in an account registered in the futures commission merchant’s name. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the futures commission merchant each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the futures commission merchant can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations.

Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Securities held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Cash held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

The Fund may purchase and/or sell financial futures contracts and options on futures contracts to gain exposure to, or decrease exposure to interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, volatility risk, or commodity risk.

 

48      OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL STRATEGIC INCOME FUND/VA


 

6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)

During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $206,295,690 and $38,682,682 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.

Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Option Activity

The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security, currency or other underlying financial instrument at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.

Options can be traded through an exchange or through a privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded through an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse (such as The Options Clearing Corporation). The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Foreign Currency Options. The Fund may purchase or write call and put options on currencies to increase or decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A purchased call, or written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price. A purchased put, or written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

Interest Rate Options. The Fund may purchase or write call and put options on treasury and/or euro futures to increase or decrease exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased call or written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price. A purchased put or written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

Index/Security Options. The Fund may purchase or write call and put options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to increase or decrease exposure to equity risk. A purchased call or written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price. A purchased put or written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $673,433 and $820,550 on purchased call options and purchased put options, respectively.

Options written, if any, are reported in a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities held in collateral accounts to cover potential obligations with respect to outstanding written options are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments.

The risk in writing a call option is that the market price of the security increases and if the option is exercised, the Fund must either purchase the security at a higher price for delivery or, if the Fund owns the underlying security, give up the opportunity for profit. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.

During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $748,182 and $444,330 on written call options and written put options, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, the price or volatility of asset or non-asset references, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Swaps can be executed in a bi-lateral privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction (“OTC swaps”) or executed on a regulated market. Certain swaps, regardless of the venue of their execution, are required to be cleared through a clearinghouse (“centrally cleared swaps”). Swap contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit default, currency, and volatility swaps.

6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)

Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. The values of centrally cleared swap and OTC swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund, if any, at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference rate or asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps have embedded leverage, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on a debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a corporate issuer, sovereign issuer, or a basket or index of issuers (the “reference asset”).

The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.

The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.

If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the swap less the market value of specified debt securities issued by the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between such value and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund may purchase or sell credit protection through credit default swaps to increase or decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/or indexes of issuers that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.

The Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same reference asset but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.

For the reporting period, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $50,325,857 and $40,128,257 on credit default swaps to buy protection and credit default swaps to sell protection, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified floating interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.

The Fund may enter into interest rate swaps in which it pays the fixed or floating interest rate in order to increase or decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, floating payments under a swap agreement will be greater than the fixed payments.

For the reporting period, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $81,557,869 and $242,346,120 on interest rate swaps which pay a fixed rate and interest rate swaps which receive a fixed rate, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on the value of asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities or securities index). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.

Total return swap contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying financial instrument or index. Total return swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and can isolate and/or include multiple types of market risk factors including equity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk.

The Fund may enter into total return swaps to increase or decrease exposure to the credit risk of various indexes or basket of securities. These credit risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay to, or receive payments from, the counterparty based on the movement of credit spreads of the related indexes or securities.

For the reporting period, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $14,481,353 on total return swaps which are long the reference asset.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Swaption Transactions

The Fund may enter into a swaption contract which grants the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap transaction at preset terms detailed in the underlying agreement within a specified period of time. The purchaser pays a premium to the swaption writer who bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset terms on the underlying swap.

Purchased swaptions are reported as a component of investments in the Consolidated Statement of Investments and the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Written swaptions are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments and their value is reported as a separate asset or liability line item in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on written swaptions is separately reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When a swaption is exercised, the cost of the swap is adjusted by the amount of premium paid or received. Upon the expiration or closing of an unexercised swaption contract, a gain or loss is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the amount of the premium paid or received.

The Fund generally will incur a greater risk when it writes a swaption than when it purchases a swaption. When the Fund writes a swaption it will become obligated, upon exercise of the swaption, according to the terms of the underlying agreement. Swaption contracts written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk prior to exercise as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparty, to perform. When the Fund purchases a swaption it only risks losing the amount of the premium it paid if the swaption expires unexercised. However, when the Fund exercises a purchased swaption there is a risk that the counterparty will fail to perform or otherwise default on its obligations under the swaption contract.

The Fund may purchase swaptions which give it the option to enter into an interest rate swap in which it pays a floating or fixed interest rate and receives a fixed or floating interest rate in order to increase or decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Purchasing the fixed portion of this swaption becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate decreases relative to the preset interest rate. Purchasing the floating portion of this swaption becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate increases relative to the preset interest rate.

The Fund may write swaptions which give it the obligation, if exercised by the purchaser, to enter into an interest rate swap in which it pays a fixed or floating interest rate and receives a floating or fixed interest rate in order to increase or decrease exposure to interest rate risk. A written swaption paying a fixed rate becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate increases relative to the preset interest rate. A written swaption paying a floating rate becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate decreases relative to the preset interest rate.

During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $1,224,189 and $1,010,197 on purchased and written swaptions, respectively.

Written swaption activity for the reporting period was as follows:

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund. For OTC options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform.

To reduce counterparty risk with respect to OTC transactions, the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.

At period end, the Fund has required certain counterparties to post collateral of $1,558,345.

ISDA master agreements include credit related contingent features which allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for centrally cleared swaps

is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for centrally cleared swaps.

With respect to centrally cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate centrally cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including centrally cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund or the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

 Next $200 million      0.66            
 Next $200 million      0.60            
 Next $4 billion      0.50            
 Over $5 billion      0.48            

The Manager also provides investment management related services to the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary pays the Manager a monthly management fee at an annual rate according to the above schedule. The Subsidiary also pays certain other expenses including custody and directors’ fees.

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.61% of average annual net assets before any Subsidiary management fees or any applicable waivers.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund and the Subsidiary, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Financial Highlights, respectively.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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 Consolidated 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 with the compensation deferral plan.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Prior to May 1, 2017, the Fund was subject to an expense limitation wherein the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding any applicable dividend expense, taxes, interest and fees from borrowing, any subsidiary expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, brokerage commissions, unusual and infrequent expenses and certain other Fund expenses; as percentages of daily net assets, would not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service shares and 1.00% for Service shares. Effective May 1, 2017, this expense limitation has been removed.

During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund as follows:

 

Non-service shares    $ 2,160  
Service shares      6,665  

This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

The Manager has contractually agreed to waive the management fee it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee it receives from the Subsidiary. During the reporting period, the Manager waived $16,574. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or

withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $484,054 for these management fees. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

 

10. Borrowings and Other Financing

Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund did not utilize the Facility during the reporting period.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index. The Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill Index is an index of short-term U.S. Government securities with a remaining term to final maturity of less than three months. The index is unmanaged, includes the reinvestment of dividends and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the index. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Non-Service shares returned 0.67% during the reporting period. On a relative basis, the Fund outperformed the Bank of America Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”), which returned 0.31% during the same period. With the exception of master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) and currency, most alternative asset classes in which the Fund invests outperformed the performance of short-term U.S. Government securities, resulting in the Fund’s relative outperformance versus the Index.

MARKET OVERVIEW

During the reporting period, markets continued their general risk-on mode initiated by the surprise election of Donald Trump in November 2016, as equities climbed and credit spreads narrowed to levels not seen since 2015. U.S. GDP growth continued to progress as employment and wage gains suggested the U.S. may be approaching full employment. Business and consumer confidence indicators came at the highest levels in the current expansion. While consumption growth has slowed modestly from a strong pace, the recovery in investment expenditures, a weaker dollar, and a stronger housing sector added to growth.

As its dual mandates of full employment and price stability were approached, the Federal Reserve Bank (the “Fed”) continued to reduce monetary accommodation and normalize rates. The Fed hiked short rates 0.25% in March and June, and signaled potential balance sheet normalization later this year, possibly in September, along with another hike in December. This was largely in line with market expectations and the reaction has been orderly to date.

As mentioned above, market performance continued to be positive for most risk assets during the six-month reporting period, with equities performing positively. Early in the reporting period, U.S. Treasury yields marched higher as the 10-year rate increased 19 basis points (bps) to 2.63% before falling quickly through the end of the period to 2.31%. This ultimately contributed to U.S. Treasuries generating positive total return. Oil prices fell during the reporting period, negatively impacting MLPs.

FUND REVIEW

Our exposure to Alpha alternatives and Global Real Estate produced the strongest returns for the Fund this reporting period. Within Alpha alternatives, our positive results were driven by Fundamental Alternatives and Global Multi Strategies. Our Fundamental Alternatives strategy had positive performance driven by the Equity and Credit strategies and this was partially offset by the Global Macro strategy, which was a small detractor. In Global Multi Strategies, our more quantitative alpha strategy, returns were driven by positive performance across strategies. In particular, Global Macro and Fixed Income Alternatives were the largest contributors for the period.

The Currency Alpha Strategy, which is a total return strategy focusing on fundamental and systematic dislocations across currency markets, detracted from performance during the reporting period. The strategy can be long and/or short currencies against the U.S. dollar. It has a go-anywhere mandate across currencies and seeks opportunities regardless of dollar bull or bear market cycles. One of our key market views at the turn of the year was that the U.S. dollar, though already significantly overvalued, would continue to appreciate in light of a shifting U.S. policy landscape. A united Republican Congress and presidency had increased the odds of fiscal stimulus which, coupled with monetary tightening already underway, created the potential for meaningful fiscal and monetary policy divergence between the United States and other major developed countries. In our view, such a policy mix was likely to boost the greenback against other major currencies. Six months into the year, however, the U.S. dollar has fallen on a trade-weighted basis. This has been a headwind to our currency positioning and has been a detractor during the period.

The Fund’s exposure to Global Real Estate through real estate investment trusts (REITs) produced positive performance. Overall, real estate conditions have generally been healthy in the global developed markets. Real estate fundamentals are currently driving earnings growth and dividend yields are attractive. Demand remains steady for quality real estate and overall new supply levels remain in check. If market optimism about the prospects for enacting Trump’s pro-growth policies wanes, REITs may prove more resilient than other more economically sensitive sectors.

The Fund’s exposure to income alternatives detracted from performance due to the performance of MLPs. Our MLP strategy seeks to invest in U.S. midstream MLPs that the investment team believes have attractive risk and reward characteristics. MLPs had a difficult period on the back of falling oil prices and excess OPEC supply. In our view, we expect excess supply to normalize in the second half of the year, which could provide some stability to prices. We continue to be bullish on MLPs due to the attractive yield relative to other income sources. Other investments within income alternatives produced positive results this reporting period, including loans and event-linked bonds. The latter transfer a specified set of catastrophe risks such as hurricanes, earthquakes and windstorms from a sponsor to investors.

 

4      OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL MULTI-ALTERNATIVES FUND/VA


The Fund’s risk management overlay was also a detractor from performance. In particular, we increased equity market exposure through European futures, and this was a drag as the European equity market moved lower after we added this exposure. This was partially offset by our exposure to Emerging Market Equities through futures, which did well over the period. Given appropriate market conditions, the Fund periodically utilizes risk management overlays in an attempt to control and manage volatility, hedge unwanted risks, and maximize risk-adjusted returns.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

The Fund comprises a flexible blend of alternative strategies and assets and is designed to be a turnkey alternative solution that improves the risk/reward tradeoff of a traditional balanced portfolio. We classify alternatives into three categories: Alpha alternatives, such as Global Multi Strategies, Fundamental Alternatives Strategies, and the Currency Alpha Strategy, rely less on the direction of major markets and economic factors to generate returns. Income alternatives (e.g. MLPs, loans, and event-linked bonds) provide exposure to relatively stable income producing assets with less interest rate sensitivity than traditional fixed income allocations. Real asset alternatives, like Global Real Estate and Commodities, could help guard against inflation over the long-term. We combine these strategies and assets to provide a core, alternative exposure that can potentially offset some of the risk from equity drawdowns, rising interest rates and inflationary shocks.

As we look ahead, we have modest return expectations given valuations in most asset classes. We see a deteriorating growth domestically and abroad as a potential headwind to risky assets in the near term. In terms of our asset allocation overlays, we have a relative value preference for European and Emerging equities versus the U.S. equity market, where we see the greatest divergence in growth. In credit markets we continue to see increasing vulnerabilities like non-financial corporate leverage nearing previous cyclical peaks. As always, we continue to closely monitor the developments in the credit cycle as well as the political and policy landscape to assess risks to the macro outlook and financial markets. While fundamental risks are rising we believe that diversifying risk, controlling volatility and managing the downside will be a winning strategy going forward. Because the Fund comprises a number of different alternative assets and strategies, with diversifying properties as well as the potential to generate attractive total returns, we believe it can play a particularly valuable role in investors’ portfolios.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended June 30, 2017” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios          

Non-Service shares

     1.31%          

Service shares

     1.56             

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 Unaudited

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Global Multi-Alternatives Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI.The Sub-Adviser has entered into a sub-sub-advisory agreement with Barings LLC and OFI SteelPath, Inc. (collectively, the “Sub-Sub-Advisers”). Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both 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.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Basis for Consolidation. The Fund has established a Cayman Islands exempted company, Oppenheimer Global Multi-Alternatives Fund/VA (Cayman) Ltd., which is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund (the “Subsidiary”). The Fund and Subsidiary are both managed by the Manager. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity futures, financial futures, options and swap contracts) and certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral for its derivatives positions. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions and guidelines, and follows the same compliance policies and procedures, as the Fund.

The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. At period end, the Fund owned 21,023 shares with net assets of $11,078,680 in the Subsidiary.

Other financial information at period end:

Total market value of investments

   $             10,328,481  

Net assets

   $ 11,078,680  

Net income (loss)

   $ (56,228

Net realized gain (loss)

   $ (10,271

Net change in unrealized appreciation/depreciation

   $ 321,706  

Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close as described in Note 3.

(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

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.

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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Return of Capital Estimates. Distributions received from the Fund’s investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and Real Estate Investments Trusts (REITs), generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP, REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Consolidated 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 cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds 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 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.

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 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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

Subchapter M requires, among other things, that at least 90% of the Fund’s gross income be derived from securities or derived with respect to its business of investing in securities (typically referred to as “qualifying income”). Income from commodity-linked derivatives may not be treated as “qualifying income” for purposes of the 90% gross income requirement. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has previously issued a number of private letter rulings which conclude that income derived from commodity index-linked notes and investments in a wholly-owned subsidiary will be “qualifying income.” As a result, the Fund will gain exposure to commodities through commodity-linked notes and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

The IRS has suspended the granting of private letter rulings pending further review. As a result, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not change its position with respect to commodity-linked notes and wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, future legislation and guidance from the Treasury and the IRS may adversely affect the fund’s ability to gain exposure to commodities through commodity-linked notes and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Fund is required to include in income for federal income tax purposes all of the subsidiary’s net income and gains whether or not such income is distributed by the subsidiary. Net income and gains from the subsidiary are generally treated as ordinary income by the Fund, regardless of the character of the subsidiary’s underlying income. Net losses from the subsidiary do not pass through to the Fund for federal income tax purposes.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. The Fund had straddle losses of $1,557 which were deferred. Details of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

 

Expiring      

No expiration

   $                14,645,163

At period end, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $24,015,021, which will not expire. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax

 

44    OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL MULTI-ALTERNATIVES FUND/VA


 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

 

Federal tax cost of securities

    $ 387,287,109     

Federal tax cost of other investments

          (363,850,332)    
  

 

 

 

Total federal tax cost

    $ 23,436,777     
  

 

 

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

    $ 33,213,934     

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (15,421,872)    
  

 

 

 

Net unrealized appreciation

    $ 17,792,062     
  

 

 

 

Certain foreign countries impose a tax on capital gains which is accrued by the Fund based on unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. The tax is paid when the gain is realized.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is for reporting periods after August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, short-term notes, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices. Pricing services generally price debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, but some trades may occur in smaller, “odd lot” sizes, sometimes at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, as well as other

appropriate factors.

Event-linked bonds, are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.

Loans are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include information obtained from market participants regarding broker-dealer price quotations.

Structured securities, swaps, swaptions, and other over-the-counter derivatives are valued utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include market information relevant to the underlying reference asset such as the price of financial instruments, stock market indices, foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, commodities, credit spreads, credit event probabilities, index values, individual security values, forward interest rates, variable interest rates, volatility measures, and forward currency rates, or the occurrence of other specific events.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward currency rates obtained from third party pricing services. When the settlement date of a contract is an interim date for which a quotation is not available, interpolated values are derived using the nearest dated forward currency rate.

Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager regularly compares prior day prices and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

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. Various data inputs may be 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-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

4. Investments and Risks

Risks of Foreign Investing. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which are subject to special risks. Securities traded in foreign markets may be less liquid and more volatile than those traded in U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure

 

47    OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL MULTI-ALTERNATIVES FUND/VA


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

 

 

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult for the Fund to evaluate a foreign company’s operations or financial condition. A change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of investments denominated in that foreign currency and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those investments. The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in the settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the United States or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company’s assets, or other political and economic factors. In addition, due to the inter-relationship of global economies and financial markets, changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Foreign securities and foreign currencies held in foreign banks and securities depositories may be subject to limited or no regulatory oversight.

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Affiliated Funds.

Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”), which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.

Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs issue common units that represent an equity ownership interest in a partnership and provide limited voting rights. MLP common units are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and are freely tradable on securities exchanges such as the NYSE and the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), or in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. An MLP consists of one or more general partners, who conduct the business, and one or more limited partners, who contribute capital. MLP common unit holders have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management. The Fund, as a limited partner, normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amounts the Fund has contributed, but would not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner. This right of an MLP’s creditors would continue after the Fund sold its investment in the MLP.

Event-Linked Bonds. The Fund may invest in “event-linked” bonds. Event-linked bonds, which are sometimes referred to as “catastrophe” bonds, are fixed income securities for which the return of principal and payment of interest is contingent on the non-occurrence of a specific trigger event, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or other occurrence that leads to physical or economic loss. If the trigger event occurs prior to maturity, the Fund may lose all or a portion of its principal in addition to interest otherwise due from the security. Event-linked bonds may expose the Fund to certain other risks, including issuer default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations, liquidity risk and adverse tax consequences. The Fund records the net change in market value of event-linked bonds on the Consolidated Statement of Operations as a change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The Fund records a realized gain or loss on the Consolidated Statement of Operations upon the sale or maturity of such securities.

Loans. The Fund invests in loans made to U.S. and foreign borrowers that are corporations, partnerships or other business entities. The Fund will do so directly as an original lender or by assignment or indirectly through participation agreements or certain derivative instruments. While many of these loans will be collateralized, the Fund can also invest in uncollateralized loans. Loans are often issued in connection with recapitalizations, acquisitions, leveraged buyouts, and refinancing of borrowers. The loans often pay interest at rates that float above (or are adjusted periodically based on) a benchmark that reflects current interest rates although the Fund can also invest in loans with fixed interest rates.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it

considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.

At period end, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:

 

      When-Issued or
Delayed Delivery
Basis Transactions
 

Purchased securities

     $1,235,625  

Sold securities

     850,000  

Restricted Securities. At period end, investments in securities included issues that are restricted. A restricted security may have a contractual restriction on its resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. Securities that are restricted are marked with an applicable footnote on the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Restricted securities are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.

The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities that have missed an interest payment, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers or underlying obligors subsequently miss an interest payment.

Information concerning securities not accruing interest at period end is as follows:

Cost

Market Value

     $13,422  

Market Value as % of Net Assets

     Less than 0.005%  

Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund invests in sovereign debt securities, which are subject to certain special risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse, or otherwise be unable, to pay interest or repay the principal on its sovereign debt. There may also be no legal process for collecting sovereign debt that a government does not pay or bankruptcy proceedings through which all or part of such sovereign debt may be collected. In addition, a restructuring or default of sovereign debt may also cause additional impacts to the financial markets, such as downgrades to credit ratings, reduced liquidity and increased volatility, among others.

Shareholder Concentration. At period end, two shareholders each owned 20% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.

The shareholders are related parties of the Fund. Related parties may include, but are not limited to, the investment manager and its affiliates, affiliated broker dealers, fund of funds, and directors or employees. Related parties owned 96% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares at period end.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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

5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

 

 

6. Use of Derivatives

The Fund’s investment objective not only permits the Fund to purchase investment securities, it also allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date. Such contracts are traded in the OTC inter-bank currency dealer market.

Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable (or payable) and in the Consolidated Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

During the reporting period, the Fund had daily average contract amounts on forward contracts to buy and sell of $137,023,155 and $201,001,767, respectively.

Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty to a forward contract will default and fail to perform its obligations to the Fund.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. Futures contracts and options thereon are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value in an account registered in the futures commission merchant’s name. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the futures commission merchant each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the futures commission merchant can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations.

Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Securities held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Cash held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

The Fund may purchase and/or sell financial futures contracts and options on futures contracts to gain exposure to, or decrease exposure to interest

rate risk, equity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, volatility risk, or commodity risk.

During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $48,028,393 and $97,690,702 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.

Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Option Activity

The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security, currency or other underlying financial instrument at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.

Options can be traded through an exchange or through a privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded through an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse (such as The Options Clearing Corporation). The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Foreign Currency Options. The Fund may purchase or write call and put options on currencies to increase or decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A purchased call, or written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price. A purchased put, or written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

Index/Security Options. The Fund may purchase or write call and put options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to increase or decrease exposure to equity risk. A purchased call or written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price. A purchased put or written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $871,974 on purchased put options.

Options written, if any, are reported in a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities held in collateral accounts to cover potential obligations with respect to outstanding written options are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments.

The risk in writing a call option is that the market price of the security increases and if the option is exercised, the Fund must either purchase the security at a higher price for delivery or, if the Fund owns the underlying security, give up the opportunity for profit. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.

During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $1,019,928 and $423,665 on written call options and written put options, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, the price or volatility of asset or non-asset references, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Swaps can be executed in a bi-lateral privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction (“OTC swaps”) or executed on a regulated market. Certain swaps, regardless of the venue of their execution, are required to be cleared through a clearinghouse (“centrally cleared swaps”). Swap contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit default, currency, and volatility swaps.

Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. The values of centrally cleared swap and OTC swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund, if any, at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Consolidated Statement

of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference rate or asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps have embedded leverage, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on a debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a corporate issuer, sovereign issuer, or a basket or index of issuers (the “reference asset”).

The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.

The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.

If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the swap less the market value of specified debt securities issued by the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between such value and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund may purchase or sell credit protection through credit default swaps to increase or decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/or indexes of issuers that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.

The Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same reference asset but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.

For the reporting period, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $40,327,953 and $7,925,163 on credit default swaps to buy protection and credit default swaps to sell protection, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified floating interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.

The Fund may enter into interest rate swaps in which it pays the fixed or floating interest rate in order to increase or decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, floating payments under a swap agreement will be greater than the fixed payments.

For the reporting period, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $18,478,167 and $18,538,365 on interest rate swaps which pay a fixed rate and interest rate swaps which receive a fixed rate, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on the value of asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities or securities index). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.

Total return swap contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying financial instrument or index. Total return swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and can isolate and/or include multiple types of market risk factors including equity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk.

The Fund may enter into total return swaps on various equity securities or indexes to increase or decrease exposure to equity risk. These equity risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay or receive a floating reference interest rate, and an amount equal to the opposite price movement of securities or an index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract. Equity leg payments equal to the positive price movement of the same securities or index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract and, in some cases, dividends paid on the securities. Reference leg payments equal a floating reference interest rate and an amount equal to the negative price movement of the same securities or index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract.

The Fund may enter into total return swaps to increase or decrease exposure to the credit risk of various indexes or basket of securities. These credit risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay to, or receive payments from, the counterparty based on the movement of credit spreads of the related indexes or securities.

The Fund may enter into total return swaps on various commodity indexes to increase or decrease exposure to commodity risk. These commodity risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay or receive a fixed or a floating reference interest rate, and an amount equal to the opposite

 

52    OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL MULTI-ALTERNATIVES FUND/VA


 

6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)

price movement of an index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract. The Fund will receive payments equal to the positive price movement of the same index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract. The Fund will receive payments of a fixed or a floating reference interest rate and an amount equal to the negative price movement of the same index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract.

For the reporting period, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $96,641,634 and $14,062,014 on total return swaps which are long the reference asset and total return swaps which are short the reference asset, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Volatility Swap Contracts. A volatility swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on the measured volatility of a reference security, index, currency or other reference investment over a specified time frame. One cash flow is typically based on the realized volatility of the reference investment as measured by changes in its price or level over the specified time period while the other cash flow is based on a specified rate representing expected volatility for the reference investment at the time the swap is executed, or the measured volatility of a different reference investment over the specified time period. The appreciation or depreciation on a volatility swap will typically depend on the magnitude of the reference investment’s volatility, or size of the movements in its price, over the specified time period, rather than general directional increases or decreases in its price.

Volatility swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and provide pure, or isolated, exposure to volatility risk of the specific underlying reference investment. Volatility swaps are typically used to speculate on future volatility levels, to trade the spread between realized and expected volatility, or to decrease the volatility exposure of investments held by the Fund.

Variance swaps are a type of volatility swap where counterparties agree to exchange periodic payments based on the measured variance (or the volatility squared) of a reference security, index, or other reference investment over a specified time period. At payment date, a net cash flow will be exchanged based on the difference between the realized variance of the reference investment over the specified time period and the specified rate representing expected variance for the reference investment at the time the swap is executed multiplied by the notional amount of the contract.

The Fund may enter into volatility/variance swaps to increase or decrease exposure to the volatility risk of various reference investments. These types of volatility swaps require the Fund to either pay the measured volatility, or price variance or the fixed rate payment then receive a fixed rate payment or the measured volatility or price variance. If the measured volatility of the related reference investment increases over the period, the measured volatility payment will depreciate in value. Conversely, if the measured volatility of the related reference investment decreases over the period, the fixed rate swap payment will appreciate in value.

For the reporting period, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $63,122 and $32,815 on volatility swaps which pay measured volatility/variance and volatility swaps which receive measured volatility/variance, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Swaption Transactions

The Fund may enter into a swaption contract which grants the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap transaction at preset terms detailed in the underlying agreement within a specified period of time. The purchaser pays a premium to the swaption writer who bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset terms on the underlying swap.

Purchased swaptions are reported as a component of investments in the Consolidated Statement of Investments and the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Written swaptions are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments and their value is reported as a separate asset or liability line item in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on written swaptions is separately reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When a swaption is exercised, the cost of the swap is adjusted by the amount of premium paid or received. Upon the expiration or closing of an unexercised swaption contract, a gain or loss is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the amount of the premium paid or received.

The Fund generally will incur a greater risk when it writes a swaption than when it purchases a swaption. When the Fund writes a swaption it will become obligated, upon exercise of the swaption, according to the terms of the underlying agreement. Swaption contracts written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk prior to exercise as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparty, to perform. When the Fund purchases a swaption it only risks losing the amount of the premium it paid if the swaption expires unexercised. However, when the Fund exercises a purchased swaption there is a risk that the counterparty will fail to perform or otherwise default on its obligations under the swaption contract.

The Fund may purchase swaptions which give it the option to enter into an interest rate swap in which it pays a floating or fixed interest rate and receives a fixed or floating interest rate in order to increase or decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Purchasing the fixed portion of this swaption becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate decreases relative to the preset interest rate. Purchasing the floating portion of this swaption becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate increases relative to the preset interest rate.

The Fund may enter into currency swaption contracts with the obligation to pay an interest rate on the US dollar notional amount or various foreign currency notional amounts and receive an interest rate on various foreign currency notional amounts or US dollar notional amounts, with an option to replace the contractual currency as disclosed in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. This is done in order to take a positive investment perspective on the related currencies for which the Fund receives a payment. The US dollar swaption contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. The foreign currency swaption contracts seek to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $316,765 on purchased swaptions.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends

6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)

to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund. For OTC options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform.

To reduce counterparty risk with respect to OTC transactions, the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.

At period end, the Fund has required certain counterparties to post collateral of $240,000.

ISDA master agreements include credit related contingent features which allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for centrally cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for centrally cleared swaps.

With respect to centrally cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate centrally cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including centrally cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund or the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

8. Purchases and Sales of Securities

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations and investments in IGMMF, for the reporting period were as follows:

      Purchases        Sales  

Investment securities

   $ 221,925,943        $ 166,601,918  

 

 

9. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

Fee Schedule        

Up to $500 million

     1.00%    

Next $500 million

     0.95      

Next $4 billion

     0.90      

Over $5 billion

     0.88      

The Manager also provides investment management related services to the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary pays the Manager a monthly management fee at an annual rate according to the above schedule. The Subsidiary also pays certain other expenses including custody and directors’ fees.

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 1.00% of average annual net assets before any Subsidiary management fees or any applicable waivers.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund and the Subsidiary, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Sub-Sub-Adviser Fees. The Sub-Adviser retains the Sub-Sub-Adviser to provide the day-today portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser pays the Sub-Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee paid to the Sub-Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Sub-Advisory agreement is paid by the Sub-Adviser, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Financial Highlights, respectively.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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 Consolidated 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 with the compensation deferral plan.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of

 

57      OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL MULTI-ALTERNATIVES FUND/VA


NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

 

 

9. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to limit the Fund’s “Expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses” (excluding any applicable dividends tied to short sales expense, taxes, interest and fees from borrowing, any subsidiary expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, brokerage commissions, unusual and infrequent expenses and certain other Fund expenses) so that, as percentages of average daily net assets, those expenses will not exceed the annual rate of 1.20% for Non-Service shares and 1.45% for Service shares as calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund.

During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund as follows:

Non-service shares

   $         5,672  

Service shares

     37  

This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

The Manager has contractually agreed to waive the management fee it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee it receives from the Subsidiary. During the reporting period, the Manager waived $55,935. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

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 IGMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $12,185 for IGMMF management fees. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

 

10. Borrowings and Other Financing

Securities Sold Short. The Fund sells securities that it does not own, and it will therefore be obligated to purchase such securities at a future date. Upon entering into a short position, the Fund is required to segregate cash or securities at its custodian which are pledged for the benefit of the lending broker and/or to deposit and pledge cash directly at the lending broker, with a value equal to a certain percentage, exceeding 100%, of the value of the securities that it sold short. Cash that has been segregated and pledged for this purpose will be disclosed on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities; securities that have been segregated and pledged for this purpose are disclosed as such in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. The aggregate market value of such cash and securities at period end is $49,700,966. The value of the open short position is recorded as a liability, and the Fund records an unrealized gain or loss to the extent of the difference between the proceeds received and the change in value of the open short position. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out. By entering into short sales, the Fund bears the market risk of increases in value of the security sold short in excess of the proceeds received. Until the security is replaced, the Fund is required to pay the lender any dividend or interest earned. Dividend expense on short sales is treated as an expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund did not utilize the Facility during the reporting period.

 

 

11. Prior Period Reclassification

An adjustment to reflect a prior period reclassification between net investment income and net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and/or net realized gain (loss) on investments during the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2015 has been made to properly reflect income distributions received by the Fund from two of its investments.

The following adjustments are reflected in the respective fiscal years per the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Consolidated Financial Highlights:

      2014                             2015  

Net investment income (loss)

   $ 3,699       $696,112  

Net realized gain (loss)

     360       3,812  

Net change in unrealized appreciation/ depreciation

     (4,059     (699,924

The cumulative impact of these adjustments are also reflected in the respective component of net assets on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and liabilities and had no impact on total net assets or net asset values per share of the Fund.

PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND GUIDELINES; UPDATES TO STATEMENTS OF INVESTMENTS Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Guidelines under which the Fund votes proxies relating to securities (“portfolio proxies”) held by the Fund. A description of the Fund’s Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Guidelines is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677), (ii) on the Fund’s website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com, and (iii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the 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.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive communication in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.

For the most current information, please go to oppenheimerfunds.com. Select your Fund, then the ’Detailed’ tab; where ‘Dividends’ are shown, the Fund’s latest pay date will be followed by the sources of any distribution, updated daily.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the MSCI AC World ex-U.S. Index. The MSCI AC World ex-U.S. Index is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets and excludes the U.S. The Index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the Index. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Performance Discussion

 

The Fund’s Non-Service shares generated a return of 15.08% during the reporting period. On a relative basis, the Fund outperformed the MSCI All Country World Ex-U.S. Index (the “Index”), which returned 14.10%. The Fund outperformed the Index in eight out of eleven sectors during the reporting period, led by stock selection in the health care and materials sectors, and an underweight position in the energy sector, which was the only negative performing sector of the Index this period. The Fund underperformed the Index in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary and telecommunication services sectors, due primarily to weaker relative stock selection.

With regard to countries, we remind investors that we are fundamental, bottom-up investors viewing the world as one stock market. Our geographic exposure is purely the result of our stock selection and does not reflect any views regarding the general economy of any country. During this reporting period, stock holdings in France, Japan and Canada benefited performance. Our weightings relative to the Index in these three countries also benefited performance. We had an overweight position in France and underweight positions in Japan and Canada. Detractors included South China, South Korea and the United States. The markets of China and South Korea appreciated strongly this reporting period, but we did not participate in the rally as we do not own any companies there. As a result, the Fund underperformed in those markets. The Fund underperformed in the United States due to weaker relative stock selection.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The market strength that began post the U.S. election continued over the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2017. The capacity of the world’s electorates to surprise continued as well. The French handed a Presidential victory to Emmanuel Macron, a pro-European centrist, and followed that up with a landslide vote for his new political party in the national legislative elections there. In the UK, Theresa May snatched defeat from the jaws of an expected certain victory. Taken together, these events improved the outlook for European cooperation and a softer “Brexit.”

In the real economy, the Spanish swiftly handled a potential insolvency of the country’s sixth largest bank, Banco Popular, organizing its purchase by Santander for 1 Euro. The Italian government finally began bailing out the banking system after reaching a compromise with the Germans on a plan that took into account the peculiar particulars of that banking system, where many bondholders are de facto depositors.

TOP INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS

Top contributors to the Fund’s performance this period included CSL Ltd., Infineon Technologies AG and Grifols, SA.

CSL is an Australian company that uses plasma to manufacture diagnostic products, drugs and vaccines. The need for blood work rises with the rising number of medical procedures that an aging population requires, so the secular demand trend for CSL’s product is strongly upward. Over the past five years, CSL has invested in expanding its collection center network. Now, at a time when there are some shortages in the industry, CSL is advantaged. This is feeding through to earnings and the share price reacted favorably when the company announced them earlier this year.

Infineon Technologies, a German semiconductor company, is the dominant provider to the automotive industry. It was for this reason that we added it to the portfolio in late 2014 as part of our investment theme focused on the evolution of the car. The accelerating pace of that evolution has been increasing demand for Infineon’s chips. The company raised their guidance for 2017 earnings during the first quarter and the share price rose as a result.

Grifols is a plasma product company that benefits from the same demographic aging trend that is a tailwind for CSL. Through an acquisition, Grifols has increased its capacity to collect plasma, and is advantaged against smaller competitors in much the same way as CSL. During the quarter, the share price rose to new highs as the analyst community raised earnings forecasts for the company.

TOP INDIVIDUAL DETRACTORS

Detractors from performance this reporting period included Aryzta AG, Pandora AS and TechnipFMC plc.

Aryzta is a Swiss-based provider of partially baked goods to casual and fast food restaurants and we have owned it for many years. Poor capital allocation has become an issue at Aryzta. In 2015 they acquired Picard, a French frozen food retailer. The strategic logic of this was questionable and Aryzta’s management did a very poor job reaping any benefits from it. We exited our position during the reporting period.

Pandora, the Danish jewelry retailer, has benefitted from the consumer trend towards brands in the very fragmented jewelry market. Furthermore, Pandora is the only company applying fast fashion techniques to the jewelry industry. They offer a good product mix at a price point that is well within reach of most middle-class consumers. Currently, there is some controversy over the reporting changes the company introduced during the reporting period. In our opinion, these changes are appropriate to the changing emphasis of Pandora’s business as they focus more on their own store channel and less on the wholesale dealer channel.

TechnipFMC is the result of a merger early this year between French oil service company Technip, who specializes in developing offshore oil and gas fields, and U.S.-based FMC Technologies, a maker of energy equipment. Since merging, the managers have maintained their combined revenues while raising their operating profits through executing well on realizing their potential synergies. After a run of fairly good performance, the shares suffered this reporting period with the decline in oil prices.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

During the reporting period, we saw European equities begin to outperform their U.S. counterparts, a trend that resumed through the end of June 2017. In our opinion, conditions are supportive of a shift to an extended period of European outperformance. We believe liquidity is strong in Europe with quantitative easing and central bank stimulus continuing there, even as the Federal Reserve in the U.S. is tightening liquidity. Earnings momentum is supportive, as the strong earnings forecasts for many companies show. Valuations in Europe are significantly below those in the U.S. and therefore more attractive.

We are not top-down regional investors, but bottom up, global, growth investors with a mandate to buy non-U.S. companies. We seek to invest in companies that are on the winning side of long term structural trends and that have the ability to monetize them over a long period of time. With our mandate and that approach, most of the companies that we find attractive are in the developed markets, and most are European. Therefore, we have a heavy weighting in European-domiciled companies. We believe an increased flow of funds into European stock markets would be positive for the absolute performance of all companies listed there, including ours.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Fund Expenses

 

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended June 30, 2017.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended June 30, 2017” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Service shares

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended June 30, 2017 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios          

Non-Service shares

     1.00%              

Service shares

     1.25                 

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS June 30, 2017 Unaudited

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer International Growth Fund/VA (the “Fund”), is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, which is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

    The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both 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.

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at Market Close as described in Note 3.

(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

    Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at Market Close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Statement of Operations.

    For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

    Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

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.

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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

    The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made to shareholders prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

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 cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds 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 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.

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 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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Details of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

 

Expiring

        

No expiration

   $                             417,148  

At period end, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $2,699,662, which will not expire. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the reporting period, it is estimated that the Fund will not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

    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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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.

    The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Certain foreign countries impose a tax on capital gains which is accrued by the Fund based on unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. The tax is paid when the gain is realized.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement. In October 2016, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“final rules”) intended to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The final rules amend Regulation S-X and require funds to provide standardized, enhanced derivative disclosure in fund financial statements in a format designed for individual investors. The amendments to Regulation S-X also update the disclosures for other investments and investments in, and advances to affiliates and amend the rules regarding the general form and content of fund financial statements. The compliance date for the amendments to Regulation S-X is for reporting periods after August 1, 2017. OFI Global is currently evaluating the amendments and their impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open

 

15        OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND/VA


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

 

 

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.

    The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

    The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

    Equity securities traded on a securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the official closing price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the official closing price is unavailable, the security is valued at the last sale price on the principal exchange on which it is traded, or if no sales occurred, the security is valued at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Over-the-counter equity securities are valued at the last published sale price, or if no sales occurred, at the mean between the quoted bid and asked prices. Events occurring after the close of trading on foreign exchanges may result in adjustments to the valuation of foreign securities to more accurately reflect their fair value as of the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

    Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

    Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

Classifications

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. Various data inputs may be 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-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

    The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at period end based on valuation input level:

4. Investments and Risks

Risks of Foreign Investing. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which are subject to special risks. Securities traded in foreign markets may be less liquid and more volatile than those traded in U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult for the Fund to evaluate a foreign company’s operations or financial condition. A change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of investments denominated in that foreign currency and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those investments. The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in the settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the United States or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company’s assets, or other political and economic factors. In addition, due to the inter-relationship of global economies and financial markets, changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Foreign securities and foreign currencies held in foreign banks and securities depositories may be subject to limited or no regulatory oversight.

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their 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 the Affiliated Funds.

    Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”), which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.

    The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

 

of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

 

 

6. Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

     $59,457,042           $47,745,336  

 

 

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

  Fee Schedule        

Up to $250 million

     1.00%         

Next $250 million

     0.90

     0.85            

Over $1 billion

     0.82            

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.94% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.

 

18        OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL GROWTH FUND/VA


 

 

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

 

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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 with the compensation deferral plan.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding any applicable dividend expense, taxes, interest and fees from borrowing, any subsidiary expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, brokerage commissions, unusual and infrequent expenses and certain other Fund expenses; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 1.00% for Non-Service shares and 1.25% for Service shares.

During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund as follows:

 

Non-Service shares

   $                 138,019  

Service shares

     83,522  

This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

    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 IGMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $6,243 for IGMMF management fees. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

 

9. Borrowings and Other Financing

Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.3 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund did not utilize the Facility during the reporting period.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about each Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution.
