ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Strategies
WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? The Fund invests mainly in common stocks of U.S. companies that the
portfolio manager believes have favorable growth prospects. The Fund currently emphasizes stocks of issuers that
have a market capitalization of less than $3 billion when the Fund buys them. That capitalization range may
change over time. While these stocks may be traded on stock exchanges, in many cases the Fund buys
over-the-counter securities. These investments are more fully explained in "About the Fund's Investments," below.

HOW DOES THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In selecting securities for the Fund, the
Fund's portfolio manager looks for companies with high growth potential using fundamental analysis of a company's
financial statements, interviews with management and analysis of the company's operations and product
development, as well as the industry of which the issuer is part. The manager also evaluates research on
particular industries, market trends and general economic conditions. In seeking broad diversification of the
Fund's portfolio, the portfolio manager currently searches primarily for stocks of companies having the following
characteristics (although these factors may change over time and may vary in different cases):
         o    Companies with small capitalizations, primarily under $3 billion,
         o    Companies with management that has a proven ability to handle rapid growth,
         o    Companies with innovative products or services,
         o    Companies that self-finance expansion rather than adding to their debt,
         o    Companies with rapidly accelerating earnings and what the portfolio manager believes are
              sustainable growth rates.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed for investors seeking capital growth over the long term from
small-cap stocks. Those investors should be willing to assume the greater risks of short-term share price
fluctuations that are typical for an aggressive growth fund focusing on small-cap stock investments. The Fund
does not seek current income and the income from its investments will likely be small, so it is not designed for
investors needing current income. Because of its focus on long-term growth, the Fund may be appropriate for a
portion of a retirement plan investment. The Fund is not a complete investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have risks to some degree. The Fund's investments are subject to changes in their value from a
number of factors described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection by the Fund's investment
Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., will cause the Fund to underperform other funds having a similar objective.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCKS. Stocks fluctuate in price, and their short-term volatility at times may be great.
Because the Fund invests primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies, the value of the Fund's portfolio will be
affected by changes in the U.S. stock markets and the special economic and other factors that might primarily
affect the prices of small cap stocks. Market risk will affect the Fund's net asset value per share, which will
fluctuate as the values of the Fund's portfolio securities change. A variety of factors can affect the price of a
particular stock and the prices of individual stocks do not all move in the same direction uniformly or at the
same time. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other.

         Other factors can affect a particular stock's price, such as poor earnings reports by the issuer, loss
of major customers, major litigation against the issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting the
issuer or its industry.

Industry and Sector Focus. At times the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a
         particular industry or sector. The prices of stocks of issuers in a particular industry or sector may go
         up and down in response to changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic
         resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry or sector more than others. To the
         extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or
         sector, its share values may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.

Risks of Growth Stocks. Stocks of growth companies, particularly newer companies, may offer opportunities for
         greater long-term capital appreciation but may be more volatile than stocks of larger, more established
         companies. They have greater risks if the company's earnings growth or stock price fails to increase as
         expected.

SPECIAL RISKS OF SMALL-CAP STOCKS. In many cases small-cap issuers are newer companies. While they may offer
greater opportunities for capital appreciation than larger, more established companies, they involve
substantially greater risks of loss and price fluctuations than larger issuers. Small-cap companies may have
limited product lines or markets for their products, limited access to financial resources and less depth in
management skill than larger, more established companies.

         The volatility of the stock prices of small cap companies is likely to be greater than for larger
issuers, in part because these securities trade mostly in the over-the-counter market, where there may be less
liquidity. That could make it harder for the Fund to dispose of a stock at an acceptable price when the portfolio
manager wants to sell it, especially in periods of market volatility. That factor increases the potential for
losses to the Fund. Also, it may take a substantial period of time before the Fund realizes a gain on an
investment in a small-cap company, if it realizes any gain at all.

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. While foreign securities offer special investment opportunities, there are also
special risks. The change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the
U.S. dollar value of foreign securities. Foreign issuers are not subject to the same accounting and disclosure
requirements that U.S. companies are subject to. The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange
control regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign taxes, delays in settlement
of transactions, changes in governmental, economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political
and economic factors. Securities in underdeveloped countries may be more difficult to sell and their prices may
be more volatile.

HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL? The risks described above collectively form the overall risk profile of the Fund,
and can affect the value of the Fund's investments, its investment performance and the prices of its shares.
Particular investments and investment strategies also have risks. These risks mean that you can lose money by
investing in the Fund. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them.
There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

In the short term, the markets for small-cap stocks can be volatile, and the prices of the Fund's shares can go
up and down substantially. The Fund generally does not seek current income nor use income-oriented investments to
help cushion the Fund's total return from changes in stock prices. Small-cap stocks do not tend to pay dividends
and so the Fund's dividend income is likely to be small. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is generally
a very aggressive investment vehicle, designed for investors willing to assume greater risks in the hope of
greater long-term returns. It is likely to be subject to greater fluctuations in its share prices than funds that
emphasize large capitalization stocks, or funds that focus on both stocks and bonds.

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


The Fund's Past Performance

The bar chart and table below show one measure of the risks of investing in the Fund, by showing changes in the
Fund's performance (for its Class A shares) from year to year for the last 10 calendar years and by showing how
the average annual total returns of the Fund's shares, both before and after taxes, compare to those of
broad-based market indices.  The after-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and are calculated using the
historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect during the periods shown, and do not
reflect the impact of state or local taxes.  The after-tax returns for the other classes of shares will vary.
The after-tax returns are calculated based on certain assumptions mandated by regulation and your actual
after-tax returns may differ from those shown, depending on your individual tax situation.  The after-tax returns
set forth below are not relevant to investors who hold their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such
as 401(k) plans or IRAs or to institutional investors not subject to tax. The Fund's past investment performance,
before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

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

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

Sales  charges  are not  included  in the  calculations  of return in this bar  chart,  and if those  charges  were
included, the returns may be less than those shown.
For the period from 1/1/02  through  ____/02,  the  cumulative  total  return for Class A shares  before  taxes was
____%.  During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return (not  annualized)  before taxes for a calendar
quarter  was ____% (___ Q,___) and the lowest  return  (not  annualized)  before  taxes for a calendar  quarter was
____% (___ Q,___).

1.       From 12/31/01
2.    Because this is a new class of shares, return data for the period specified is not available.

The Fund's  average  annual total returns  include the applicable  sales charge:  for Class A, the current  maximum
initial  sales  charge of 5.75%;  for Class B, the  contingent  deferred  sales  charges of 5%  (1-year)  and 2% (5
years);  and for Class C and Class N, the 1%  contingent  deferred  sales charge for the 1-year  period and life of
class,  respectively.  Because  Class B  shares  convert  to Class A  shares  72  months  after  purchase,  Class B
"life-of-class"  performance does not include the contingent deferred sales charge and uses Class A performance for
the period after conversion.
The Fund's returns  measure the  performance  of a  hypothetical  account and assume that all dividends and capital
gains  distributions  have been  reinvested in additional  shares.  The performance of the Fund's Class A shares is
compared  to the S&P  500  Index,  an  unmanaged  index  of  equity  securities,  and the  Russell  2000  Index,  a
capitalization-weighted  unmanaged  index of 2000 issuers of mid-cap size stocks.  The index  performance  includes
the  reinvestment of income but does not reflect  transaction  costs.  Also, the Fund's  investments  vary from the
securities in the indices.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The Fund pays a variety of expenses  directly for  management of its assets,  administration,  distribution  of its
shares and other  services.  Those expenses are subtracted from the Fund's assets to calculate the Fund's net asset
values per share.  All  shareholders  therefore pay those  expenses  indirectly.  Shareholders  pay other  expenses
directly,  such as sales charges and account  transaction  charges.  The following  tables are provided to help you
understand  the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.  The numbers  below are based
on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended September 30, 2001.

3. Applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
4. Applies to shares redeemed within 18 months of a retirement plan's first purchase of Class N shares.

         Expenses may vary in future years. "Other Expenses" include transfer agent fees,  custodial expenses,  and
accounting  and legal  expenses the Fund pays.  The "Other  Expenses" in the table for Class Y shares are based on,
among other  things,  the fees the Fund would have paid if the  transfer  agent had not waived a portion of its fee
under a  voluntary  undertaking  to the Fund to limit its fees to 0.25% for per annum for Class Y shares  effective
January  1,  2001.  After the  waiver,  the actual  "Other  Expenses"  and "Total  Annual  Operating  Expenses"  as
percentages of average daily net assets were 0.40% and 1.06%,  respectively,  for Class Y shares;  expenses for the
other classes were not affected during the period shown.  Additionally,  the transfer agent has voluntarily  agreed
to limit its fees to 0.35% per annum for all other classes  effective  October 1, 2001.  Those  undertakings may be
amended or withdrawn at any time.

EXAMPLES. The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost
of investing in other mutual funds. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund
for the time periods indicated and reinvest your dividends and distributions.

         The first example assumes that you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The second
example assumes that you keep your shares. Both examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each
year and that the class's operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or lower because
expenses will vary over time. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows:

In the first example,  expenses  include the initial sales charge for Class A and the  applicable  Class B, Class C
or Class N deferred  sales  charges.  In the second  example,  the Class A expenses  include the sales charge,  but
Class B, Class C and Class N expenses do not include the  contingent  deferred  sales  charges.  There are no sales
charges on Class Y shares.
1.  Class B expenses  for years 7 through  10 are based on Class A  expenses,  since  Class B shares  automatically
convert to Class A after 6 years.

About the Fund's Investments

THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different investments will
vary over time based upon the Manager's evaluation of economic and market trends. The Fund's portfolio might not
always include all of the different types of investments described below. The Statement of Additional Information
contains more detailed information about the Fund's investment policies and risks.

         The Manager tries to reduce risks by carefully researching securities before they are purchased. The
Fund attempts to reduce its exposure to market risks by diversifying its investments, that is, by not holding a
substantial amount of stock of any one company and by not investing too great a percentage of the Fund's assets
in any one company. Also, the Fund does not concentrate 25% or more of its total assets in investments in any one
industry. However, changes in the overall market prices of securities can occur at any time. The share prices of
the Fund will change daily based on changes in market prices of securities and market conditions and in response
to other economic events.

Small-Cap Stock Investments. The Fund currently emphasizes investments in common stocks of small-cap U.S. growth
         companies. While small-cap companies tend to be newer businesses, they can also be more established
         businesses that are entering a growth phase.

         The Fund measures the market capitalization of an issuer at the time of investment to determine if it
         fits within the Fund's small-cap definition. Because the relative sizes of companies change over time as
         the stock market changes, the Fund's definition of what is a "small-cap" company may change over time as
         well. Also, as individual companies grow, they may no longer fit within the Fund's definition of a
         "small-cap" issuer after the Fund buys their stock. While the Fund is not required to sell stocks of
         companies whose market capitalizations grow beyond the Fund's small-cap definition, the Manager might
         sell some of those holdings to try to lower the median capitalization of its portfolio (measured on a
         dollar-weighted basis). This could cause the Fund to realize capital gains on its investments, which
         could increase taxable distributions to shareholders. Of course, there is no assurance that small-cap
         stocks will grow in value.

Foreign Investing. The Fund may buy securities or other instruments issued by companies, governments or other
         entities in any country, including developed and emerging countries or markets.  The Fund has no limits
         on the amount of its assets that can be invested in foreign securities but has adopted an operating
         policy limiting its investments in foreign securities to 25% of its total assets. Currently the Manager
         does not expect to invest that much in foreign stocks.

CAN THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES CHANGE? The Fund's Board of Trustees can change non-fundamental
investment policies without shareholder approval, although significant changes will be described in amendments to
this Prospectus. Fundamental policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's
outstanding voting shares. The Fund's objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are
fundamental policies are listed in the Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not
fundamental unless this Prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information says that it is.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. To seek its objective, the Fund can also use the investment techniques and
strategies described below. The Fund might not always use all of them. These techniques have risks, although some
are designed to help reduce overall investment or market risks.

Other Equity Securities. The Fund's investments are not limited only to small-cap issuers, and the Fund can
         invest a portion of its assets in issuers of mid- and large capitalizations, if the Manager believes
         they offer opportunities for growth. While the Fund mainly buys common stocks, it can also buy preferred
         stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock. The Manager considers some convertible
         securities to be "equity equivalents" because of the conversion feature and in that case their credit
         rating has less impact on the Manager's investment decision than in the case of other debt securities.
         The Fund can buy convertible securities that are investment grade or below investment grade (which have
         greater risks of default).

Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies.  The Fund can invest in small, unseasoned companies.  These are
         companies that have been in operation less than three years, including the operations of any
         predecessors.  These securities may have limited liquidity, which means that the Fund might not be able
         to sell them quickly at an acceptable price. Their prices may be very volatile, especially in the short
         term.  The Fund currently does not intend to invest more than 10% of its assets in these securities.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities.  Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading
         market, making it difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price.
         Restricted securities may have terms that limit their resale to other investors or may require
         registration under federal securities laws before they can be publicly sold.  The Fund will not invest
         more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or restricted securities.  The Board can increase that limit
         to 15%. Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers
         may not be subject to that limit.  The Manager monitors holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing
         basis to determine whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of "derivative" investments. In
         general terms, a derivative investment is an investment contract whose value depends on (or is derived
         from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index. In the broadest sense, options, futures
         contracts, and other hedging instruments the Fund might use may be considered "derivative" investments.
         In addition to using derivatives for hedging, the Fund might use other derivative investments because
         they offer the potential for increased value. The Fund currently does not use derivatives to a
         significant degree and is not required to use them in seeking its objective.

         Derivatives have risks. If the issuer of the derivative investment does not pay the amount due, the Fund
         can lose money on the investment. The underlying security or investment on which a derivative is based,
         and the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Manager expected it to. As a result of these
         risks, the Fund could realize less principal or income from the investment than expected or its hedge
         might be unsuccessful. As a result, the Fund's share prices could fall. Certain derivative investments
         held by the Fund might be illiquid.

     o   Hedging. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts, put and call options, and forward contracts. These
         are all referred to as "hedging instruments." The Fund does not currently use hedging extensively nor
         for speculative purposes. It has limits on its use of hedging instruments and is not required to use
         them in seeking its objective.

         Some of these strategies would hedge the Fund's portfolio against price fluctuations. Other hedging
         strategies, such as buying futures and call options, would tend to increase the Fund's exposure to the
         securities market.

         There are also special risks in particular hedging strategies.  Options trading involves the payment of
         premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. If the Manager used a hedging instrument at the wrong time
         or judged market conditions incorrectly, the hedge might fail and the strategy could reduce the Fund's
         return.

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund can engage in short-term trading to try to achieve its objective. Portfolio turnover
         affects brokerage costs the Fund pays. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells portfolio
         investments generally it must pay out those gains to shareholders, increasing their taxable
         distributions. The Financial Highlights tables at the end of this Prospectus show the Fund's portfolio
         turnover rates during recent fiscal years.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. In times of unstable or adverse market or economic conditions, the
         Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in temporary defensive investments that are inconsistent with
         the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally they would be cash equivalents (such as commercial
         paper), money market instruments, short-term debt securities, U.S. government securities, or repurchase
         agreements. The Fund could also hold these types of securities pending the investment of proceeds from
         the sale of Fund shares or portfolio securities or to meet anticipated redemptions of Fund shares. To
         the extent the Fund invests in these securities, it might not achieve its investment objective of
         capital appreciation.

How the Fund Is Managed
THE MANAGER. The Manager chooses the Fund's investments and handles its day-to-day business. The Manager carries
out its duties, subject to the policies established by the Fund's Board of Trustees, under an investment advisory
agreement that states the Manager's responsibilities. The agreement sets the fees the Fund pays to the Manager
and describes the expenses that the Fund is responsible to pay to conduct its business.

         The Manager has been an  investment  adviser  since January  1960.  The Manager and its  subsidiaries  and
affiliates  managed more than $125 billion in assets as of June 30, 2002,  including other  Oppenheimer  funds with
more than 7 million shareholder accounts.  The Manager is located at 498 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10018.

Portfolio Manager. The portfolio manager of the Fund is Jayne Stevlingson, who is principally responsible for the
         day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio.  Ms. Stevlingson has been the Fund's portfolio manager
         since August 9, 1999, and she is a Vice President of the Fund and of the Manager. Prior to joining the
         Manager in August 1999, she was a small-cap growth fund portfolio manager with Morgan Stanley Dean
         Witter Advisors, Inc., before which she was a senior equity analyst with Bankers Trust Corporation.

Advisory Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual
         rate that declines as the Fund's assets grow: 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual net
         assets, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million,
         0.60% of the next $700 million, and 0.58% of average annual net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. The
         Fund's management fee for its last fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 was 0.66% of average annual net
         assets for each class of shares.

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

How to Buy Shares
HOW DO YOU BUY SHARES? You can buy shares several ways, as described below. The Fund's Distributor,
OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., may appoint servicing agents to accept purchase (and redemption) orders. The
Distributor, in its sole discretion, may reject any purchase order for the Fund's shares.

Buying Shares Through Your Dealer. You can buy shares through any dealer, broker or financial institution that
         has a sales agreement with the Distributor. Your dealer will place your order with the Distributor on
         your behalf.

Buying Shares Through the Distributor. Complete an OppenheimerFunds New Account Application and return it with a
         check payable to "OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc." Mail it to P.O. Box 5270, Denver, Colorado 80217.
         If you don't list a dealer on the application, the Distributor will act as your agent in buying the
         shares. However, we recommend that you discuss your investment with a financial advisor before you make
         a purchase to be sure that the Fund is appropriate for you.

     o   Paying by Federal Funds Wire. Shares purchased through the Distributor may be paid for by Federal Funds
         wire. The minimum investment is $2,500. Before sending a wire, call the Distributor's Wire Department at
         1.800.CALL.OPP (1.800.225.5677) to notify the Distributor of the wire, and to receive further
         instructions.

     o   Buying Shares Through OppenheimerFunds AccountLink. With AccountLink, you pay for shares by electronic
         funds transfers from your bank account. Shares are purchased for your account by a transfer of money
         from your bank account through the Automated Clearing House (ACH) system. You can provide those
         instructions automatically, under an Asset Builder Plan, described below, or by telephone instructions
         using OppenheimerFunds PhoneLink, also described below. Please refer to "AccountLink," below for more
         details.

     o   Buying Shares Through Asset Builder Plans. You may purchase shares of the Fund automatically each month
         from your account at a bank or other financial institution under an Asset Builder Plan with AccountLink.
         Details are in the Asset Builder Application and the Statement of Additional Information.

HOW MUCH MUST YOU INVEST? You can buy Fund shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional
investments at any time with as little as $25 (effective November 1, 2002, the additional purchase amount is
$50).  There are reduced minimum investments under special investment plans.

     o   With Asset Builder Plans, 403(b) plans, Automatic Exchange Plans and military allotment plans, you can
         make initial and subsequent investments for as little as $25.
o        The minimum initial investment in any such plan accounts established on or after November 1, 2002 is
         $50. The minimum additional investment to such plan accounts that were established prior to November 1,
         2002 will remain $25. To establish a new Asset Builder Plan account on or after November 1, 2002, you
         must first invest at least $500.
     o   Under retirement plans, such as IRAs, pension and profit-sharing plans and 401(k) plans, you can start
         your account with as little as $250. If your IRA is started as an Asset Builder Plan, the $25 minimum
         applies. Additional purchases may be for as little as $25.
o        To establish any type of IRA account on or after November 1, 2002, the minimum investment is $500. The
         minimum additional investment to any type of IRA account after November 1, 2002 is $50.
     o   The minimum investment requirement does not apply to reinvesting dividends from the Fund or other
         Oppenheimer funds (a list of them appears in the Statement of Additional Information, or you can ask
         your dealer or call the Transfer Agent), or reinvesting distributions from unit investment trusts that
         have made arrangements with the Distributor.

AT WHAT PRICE ARE SHARES SOLD? Shares are sold at their offering price which is the net asset value per share
plus any initial sales charge that applies. The offering price that applies to a purchase order is based on the
next calculation of the net asset value per share that is made after the Distributor receives the purchase order
at its offices in Colorado, or after any agent appointed by the Distributor receives the order and sends it to
the Distributor.

Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of shares as of the close of The New York
         Stock Exchange, on each day the Exchange is open for trading (referred to in this Prospectus as a
         "regular business day"). The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, but may close earlier
         on some days. All references to time in this Prospectus mean "Eastern time."

         The net asset value per share is  determined  by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets  attributable
         to a class by the number of shares of that class that are  outstanding.  To determine net asset value, the
         Fund's Board of Trustees has established  procedures to value the Fund's  securities,  in general based on
         market value.  The Board has adopted  special  procedures for valuing  illiquid and restricted  securities
         and  obligations  for which market  values  cannot be readily  obtained.  Because some foreign  securities
         trade in markets and on exchanges  that operate on weekends and U.S.  holidays,  the values of some of the
         Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

         If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded, and before
         the time the Fund's securities are priced that day, an event occurs that the Manager deems likely to
         cause a material change in the value of such security, the Fund's Board of Trustees has authorized the
         Manager, subject to the Board's review, to ascertain a fair value for such security.  A security's
         valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

The Offering Price.  To receive the offering price for a particular day, in most cases the Distributor or its
         designated agent must receive your order by the time of day The New York Stock Exchange closes that day.
         If your order is received on a day when the Exchange is closed or after it has closed, the order will
         receive the next offering price that is determined after your order is received.

Buying Through a Dealer.  If you buy shares through a dealer, your dealer must receive the order by the close of
         The New York Stock Exchange and transmit it to the Distributor so that it is received before the
         Distributor's close of business on a regular business day (normally 5:00 P.M.) to receive that day's
         offering price. Otherwise, the order will receive the next offering price that is determined.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

Class A Shares. If you buy Class A shares, you pay an initial sales charge (on investments up to $1 million). The
         amount of that sales charge will vary depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates are listed
         in "How Can You Buy Class A Shares?" below.
Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an
         annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within six years of buying them, you will normally
         pay a contingent deferred sales charge. That contingent deferred sales charge varies depending on how long
         you own your shares, as described in "How Can You Buy Class B Shares?" below.
Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an
         annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within 12 months of buying them, you will normally
         pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1%, as described in "How Can You Buy Class C Shares?" below.
Class N Shares. If you buy Class N shares (available only through certain retirement plans), you pay no sales charge
         at the time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge.  If you sell your shares
         within eighteen (18) months of the retirement plan's first purchase of Class N shares, you may pay a
         contingent deferred sales charge of 1%, as described in "How Can You Buy Class N Shares?" below.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional investors that have special agreements with
         the Distributor.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WHICH CLASS OF SHARES SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?  Once you decide that the Fund is an appropriate investment for you, the
decision as to which class of shares is best suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should
discuss with your financial advisor. Some factors to consider are how much you plan to invest and how long you
plan to hold your investment. If your goals and objectives change over time and you plan to purchase additional
shares, you should re-evaluate those factors to see if you should consider another class of shares. The Fund's
operating costs that apply to a class of shares and the effect of the different types of sales charges on your
investment will vary your investment results over time.

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

How Long Do You Expect to Hold Your Investment? While future financial needs cannot be predicted with certainty,
         knowing how long you expect to hold your investment will assist you in selecting the appropriate class
         of shares. Because of the effect of class-based expenses, your choice will also depend on how much you
         plan to invest. For example, the reduced sales charges available for larger purchases of Class A shares
         may, over time, offset the effect of paying an initial sales charge on your investment, compared to the
         effect over time of higher class-based expenses on shares of Class B, Class C or Class N.
         For  retirement  plans that  qualify to purchase  Class N shares,  Class N shares will  generally  be more
         advantageous than Class B and Class C shares.

     o   Investing for the Shorter Term.  While the Fund is meant to be a long-term investment, if you have a
         relatively short-term investment horizon (that is, you plan to hold your shares for not more than six
         years), you should probably consider purchasing Class A or Class C shares rather than Class B shares.
         That is because of the effect of the Class B contingent deferred sales charge if you redeem within six
         years, as well as the effect of the Class B asset-based sales charge on the investment return for that
         class in the short-term. Class C shares might be the appropriate choice (especially for investments of
         less than $100,000), because there is no initial sales charge on Class C shares, and the contingent
         deferred sales charge does not apply to amounts you sell after holding them one year.

         However, if you plan to invest more than $100,000 for the shorter term, then as your investment horizon
         increases toward six years, Class C shares might not be as advantageous as Class A shares. That is
         because the annual asset-based sales charge on Class C shares will have a greater impact on your account
         over the longer term than the reduced front-end sales charge available for larger purchases of Class A
         shares.

         And for non-retirement plan investors who invest $1 million or more, in most cases Class A shares will
         be the most advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold your shares. For that reason, the
         Distributor normally will not accept purchase orders of $500,000 or more of Class B shares or $1 million
         or more of Class C shares from a single investor.

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

Are There Differences in Account Features That Matter to You? Some account features may not be available to Class
         B, Class C and Class N shareholders. Other features may not be advisable (because of the effect of the
         contingent deferred sales charge) for Class B, Class C or Class N shareholders. Therefore, you should
         carefully review how you plan to use your investment account before deciding which class of shares to
         buy.

         Additionally, the dividends payable to Class B, Class C and Class N shareholders will be reduced by the
         additional expenses borne by those classes that are not borne by Class A shares, such as the Class B,
         Class C and Class N asset-based sales charge described below and in the Statement of Additional
         Information.  Share certificates are only available on Class A shares.  If you are considering using
         your shares as collateral for a loan, that may be a factor to consider.

How Do Share Classes Affect Payments to Your Broker? A financial advisor may receive different compensation for
         selling one class of shares than for selling another class. It is important to remember that Class B,
         Class C and Class N contingent deferred sales charges and asset-based sales charges have the same
         purpose as the front-end sales charge on sales of Class A shares: to compensate the Distributor for
         concessions and expenses it pays to dealers and financial institutions for selling shares. The
         Distributor may pay additional compensation from its own resources to securities dealers or financial
         institutions based upon the value of shares of the Fund owned by the dealer or financial institution for
         its own account or for its customers.

SPECIAL SALES CHARGE ARRANGEMENTS AND WAIVERS. Appendix B to the Statement of Additional Information details the
conditions for the waiver of sales charges that apply in certain cases, and the special sales charge rates that
apply to purchases of shares of the Fund by certain groups, or under specified retirement plan arrangements or in
other special types of transactions. To receive a waiver or special sales charge rate, you must advise the
Distributor when purchasing shares or the Transfer Agent when redeeming shares that the special conditions apply.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS A SHARES? Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset
value plus an initial sales charge. However, in some cases, described below, purchases are not subject to an
initial sales charge, and the offering price will be the net asset value. In other cases, reduced sales charges
may be available, as described below or in the Statement of Additional Information. Out of the amount you invest,
the Fund receives the net asset value to invest for your account.

         The sales charge varies depending on the amount of your purchase.  A portion of the sales charge may be
retained by the Distributor or allocated to your dealer as a concession.  The Distributor reserves the right to
reallow the entire concession to dealers.  The current sales charge rates and concessions paid to dealers and
brokers are as follows:

                                                 Front-End Sales         Front-End Sales

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges? You may be eligible to buy Class A shares at reduced sales charge rates
         under the Fund's "Right of Accumulation" or a Letter of Intent, as described in "Reduced Sales Charges"
         in the Statement of Additional Information.

Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.  There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
         one or more of the Oppenheimer funds aggregating $1 million or more, or for certain purchases by
         particular types of retirement plans that were permitted to purchase such shares prior to March 1, 2001
         ("grandfathered retirement accounts").  Retirement plans are not permitted to make initial purchases of
         Class A shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.  The Distributor pays dealers of record
         concessions in an amount equal to 1.0% of purchases of $1 million or more other than by grandfathered
         retirement accounts.  For grandfathered retirement accounts, the concession is 0.75% of the first $2.5
         million of purchases, plus 0.25% of purchases in excess of $2.5 million.  In either case, the concession
         will not be paid on purchases of shares by exchange or that were previously subject to a front-end sales
         charge and dealer concession.

         If you redeem any of those shares within an 18-month "holding period" measured from the beginning of the
         calendar month of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge (called the "Class A contingent
         deferred sales charge") may be deducted from the redemption proceeds.  That sales charge will be equal
         to 1.0% of the lesser of:
o        the aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption (excluding shares
         purchased by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions) or
o        the original net asset value of the redeemed shares.

         The Class A contingent deferred sales charge will not exceed the aggregate amount of the concessions the
         Distributor paid to your dealer on all purchases of Class A shares of all Oppenheimer funds you made
         that were subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge.

Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans.  There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
         one or more Oppenheimer funds by retirement plans that have $10 million or more in plan assets and that
         have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor and by retirement plans which are part of a
         retirement plan product or platform offered by certain banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors,
         insurance companies or recordkeepers which have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor.
         The Distributor currently pays dealers of record concessions in an amount equal to 0.25% of the purchase
         price of Class A shares by those retirement plans from its own resources at the time of sale, subject to
         certain exceptions as described in the Statement of Additional Information. There is no contingent
         deferred sales charge upon the redemption of such shares.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS B SHARES?  Class B shares are sold at net asset value per share without an initial sales
charge.  However, if Class B shares are redeemed within 6 years from the beginning of the calendar month of their
purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from the redemption proceeds.  The Class B
contingent deferred sales charge is paid to compensate the Distributor for its expenses of providing
distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class B shares.

         The amount of the contingent deferred sales charge will depend on the number of years since you invested
and the dollar amount being redeemed, according to the following schedule for the Class B contingent deferred
sales charge holding period:

                                                            Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on

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

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after
         you purchase them. This conversion feature relieves Class B shareholders of the asset-based sales charge
         that applies to Class B shares under the Class B Distribution and Service Plan, described below. The
         conversion is based on the relative net asset value of the two classes, and no sales load or other
         charge is imposed. When any Class B shares that you hold convert, any other Class B shares that were
         acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions on the converted shares will also convert to Class A
         shares. For further information on the conversion feature and its tax implications, see "Class B
         Conversion" in the Statement of Additional Information.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS C SHARES? Class C shares are sold at net asset value per share without an initial sales
charge. However, if Class C shares are redeemed within a holding period of 12 months from the beginning of the
calendar month of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be deducted from the redemption
proceeds. The Class C contingent deferred sales charge is paid to compensate the Distributor for its expenses of
providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class C shares.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS N SHARES?  Class N shares  are  offered  for sale to  retirement  plans  (including  IRAs and
403(b)  plans)  that  purchase  $500,000  or more of Class N shares  of one or more  Oppenheimer  funds or to group
retirement  plans (which do not include IRAs and 403(b)  plans) that have assets of $500,000 or more or 100 or more
eligible participants.
See  "Availability  of Class N shares" in the Statement of Additional  Information  for other  circumstances  where
Class N shares are available for purchase.

A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be imposed upon the redemption of Class N shares, if:

o        The group  retirement plan is terminated or Class N shares of all  Oppenheimer  funds are terminated as an
     investment  option of the plan and  Class N shares  are  redeemed  within 18  months  after the  plan's  first
     purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund, or
o        With  respect to an IRA or 403(b) plan,  Class N shares are redeemed  within 18 months of the plan's first
     purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund.

         Retirement  plans  that  offer  Class N shares  may  impose  charges  on plan  participant  accounts.  The
procedures  for buying,  selling,  exchanging and  transferring  the Fund's other classes of shares (other than the
time those  orders must be received by the  Distributor  or Transfer  Agent in  Colorado)  and the special  account
features  applicable to purchasers of those other classes of shares  described  elsewhere in this prospectus do not
apply to Class N shares offered through a group retirement plan.  Instructions for buying,  selling,  exchanging or
transferring  Class N shares  offered  through a group  retirement  plan must be submitted by the plan, not by plan
participants for whose benefit the shares are held.

WHO CAN BUY CLASS Y SHARES?  Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share without a sales charge directly
to institutional investors that have special agreements with the Distributor for this purpose.  They may include
insurance companies, registered investment companies and employee benefit plans.  Individual investors cannot buy
Class Y shares directly.

         An institutional investor that buys Class Y shares for its customers' accounts may impose charges on
those accounts. The procedures for buying, selling, exchanging and transferring the Fund's other classes of
shares (other than the time those orders must be received by the Distributor or Transfer Agent at their Colorado
office) and the special account features available to investors buying those other classes of shares do not apply
to Class Y shares.  Instructions for buying, selling, exchanging or transferring Class Y shares must be submitted
by the institutional investor, not by its customers for whose benefit the shares are held.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS.
Service Plan for Class A Shares.  The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares.  It reimburses the
         Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A
         shares.  Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net
         assets of Class A shares of the Fund.  The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers,
         brokers, banks and other financial institutions quarterly for providing personal service and maintenance
         of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares.  With respect to Class A shares subject to a
         Class A contingent deferred sales charge purchased by grandfathered retirement accounts, the Distributor
         pays the 0.25% service fee to dealers in advance for the first year after the shares are sold by the
         dealer. After the shares have been held for a year, the Distributor pays the service fee to dealers on a
         quarterly basis.

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and
         Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares to pay the Distributor for its services and costs
         in distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares and servicing accounts. Under the plans, the Fund
         pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B shares and Class C shares
         and 0.25% on Class N shares.  The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under the
         Class B, Class C and Class N plans.

         The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and Class C expenses by 1.0% and increase
         Class N expense by 0.50% of the net assets per year of the respective class. Because these fees are paid
         out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your
         investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.

         The Distributor uses the service fees to compensate dealers for providing personal services for accounts
         that hold Class B, Class C or Class N shares. The Distributor pays the 0.25% service fees to dealers in
         advance for the first year after the shares are sold by the dealer. After the shares have been held for
         a year, the Distributor pays the service fees to dealers on a quarterly basis. The Distributor retains
         the service fees for accounts for which it renders the required personal services.

         The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 3.75% of the purchase price of Class B shares to
         dealers from its own resources at the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total
         amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of Class B shares is therefore 4.00% of
         the purchase price.  The Distributor retains the Class B asset-based sales charge.  See the Statement of
         Additional Information for exceptions.

         The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase price of Class C shares to
         dealers from its own resources at the time of sale.  Including the advance of the service fee, the total
         amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of Class C shares is therefore 1.0% of
         the purchase price.  The Distributor pays the asset-based sales charge as an ongoing concession to the
         dealer on Class C shares that have been outstanding for a year or more.  See the Statement of Additional
         Information for exceptions.

         The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase price of Class N shares to
         dealers from its own resources at the time of sale.  Including the advance of the service fee, the total
         amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of Class N shares is therefore 1.0% of
         the purchase price.  The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class N shares.  See the
         Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

transactions or obtain account information online, you must first obtain a user I.D. and password on that
website. If you do not want to have Internet account transaction capability for your account, please call the
Transfer Agent at 1.800.CALL.OPP.
At times, the website may be inaccessible or its transaction features may be unavailable.

AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL AND EXCHANGE PLANS. The Fund has several plans that enable you to sell shares automatically
or exchange them to another OppenheimerFunds account on a regular basis. Please call the Transfer Agent or
consult the Statement of Additional Information for details.

REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE. If you redeem some or all of your Class A or Class B shares of the Fund, you have up to
six months to reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds in Class A shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer
funds without paying a sales charge. This privilege applies only to Class A shares that you purchased subject to
an initial sales charge and to Class A or Class B shares on which you paid a contingent deferred sales charge
when you redeemed them. This privilege does not apply to Class C, Class N or Class Y shares. You must be sure to
ask the Distributor for this privilege when you send your payment.

RETIREMENT PLANS. You may buy shares of the Fund for your retirement plan account. If you participate in a plan
sponsored by your employer, the plan trustee or administrator must buy the shares for your plan account. The
Distributor also offers a number of different retirement plans that individuals and employers can use:
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). These include regular IRAs, Roth IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs and rollover IRAs.
SEP-IRAs. These are Simplified Employee Pensions Plan IRAs for small business owners or self-employed individuals.
403(b)(7) Custodial Plans. These are tax-deferred plans for employees of eligible tax-exempt organizations, such
as schools, hospitals and charitable organizations.

401(k) Plans. These are special retirement plans for businesses.
Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. These plans are designed for businesses and self-employed individuals.

         Please call the Distributor for OppenheimerFunds retirement plan documents, which include applications
and important plan information.

How to Sell Shares

You can sell (redeem) some or all of your shares on any regular business day. Your shares will be sold at the
next net asset value calculated after your order is received in proper form (which means that it must comply with
the procedures described below) and is accepted by the Transfer Agent. The Fund lets you sell your shares by
writing a letter or by telephone. You can also set up Automatic Withdrawal Plans to redeem shares on a regular
basis. If you have questions about any of these procedures, and especially if you are redeeming shares in a
special situation, such as due to the death of the owner or from a retirement plan account, please call the
Transfer Agent first, at 1.800.CALL.OPP, for assistance.

Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee. To protect you and the Fund from fraud, the following redemption
         requests must be in writing and must include a signature guarantee (although there may be other
         situations that also require a signature guarantee):

     o   You wish to redeem more than $100,000 and receive a check
     o   The redemption check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the account statement
     o   The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account statement
     o   Shares are being transferred to a Fund account with a different owner or name
     o   Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor) other than the owners


Where Can You Have Your Signature Guaranteed?  The Transfer Agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a
         number of financial institutions, including:

     o   a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
     o   a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
     o   a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or government securities, or
     o   a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities association or a clearing agency.
         If you are signing on behalf of a corporation, partnership or other business or as a fiduciary, you must
         also include your title in the signature.

Retirement Plan Accounts. There are special procedures to sell shares in an OppenheimerFunds retirement plan
         account. Call the Transfer Agent for a distribution request form. Special income tax withholding
         requirements apply to distributions from retirement plans. You must submit a withholding form with your
         redemption request to avoid delay in getting your money and if you do not want tax withheld. If your
         employer holds your retirement plan account for you in the name of the plan, you must ask the plan
         trustee or administrator to request the sale of the Fund shares in your plan account.

HOW DO YOU SELL SHARES BY MAIL? Write a letter of instructions that includes:
     o   Your name
     o   The Fund's name
     o   Your Fund account number (from your account statement)
     o   The dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed
     o   Any special payment instructions
     o   Any share certificates for the shares you are selling
     o   The signatures of all registered owners exactly as the account is registered, and
     o   Any special documents requested by the Transfer Agent to assure proper authorization of the person
         asking to sell the shares.

requests by mail:                                            requests to:

P.O. Box 5270                                                10200 E. Girard Avenue, Building D
Denver, Colorado 80217                                       Denver, Colorado 80231

HOW DO YOU SELL SHARES BY TELEPHONE? You and your dealer representative of record may also sell your shares by
telephone. To receive the redemption price calculated on a particular business day, your call must be received by
the Transfer Agent by the close of The New York Stock Exchange that day, which is normally 4:00 P.M., but may be
earlier on some days. You may not redeem shares held in an OppenheimerFunds retirement plan account or under a
share certificate by telephone.
     o   To redeem shares through a service representative or automatically on PhoneLink, call 1.800.CALL.OPP

         Whichever method you use, you may have a check sent to the address on the account statement, or, if you
have linked your Fund account to your bank account on AccountLink, you may have the proceeds sent to that bank
account.

Are There Limits on Amounts Redeemed by Telephone?
Telephone Redemptions Paid by Check.  Up to $100,000 may be redeemed by telephone in any seven-day period.  The
         check must be payable to all owners of record of the shares and must be sent to the address on the
         account statement.  This service is not available within 30 days of changing the address on an account.
Telephone Redemptions Through AccountLink. There are no dollar limits on telephone redemption proceeds sent to a
         bank account designated when you establish AccountLink. Normally the ACH transfer to your bank is
         initiated on the business day after the redemption. You do not receive dividends on the proceeds of the
         shares you redeemed while they are waiting to be transferred.

CAN YOU SELL SHARES THROUGH YOUR DEALER? The Distributor has made arrangements to repurchase Fund shares from
dealers and brokers on behalf of their customers. Brokers or dealers may charge for that service. If your shares
are held in the name of your dealer, you must redeem them through your dealer.

HOW CONTINGENT  DEFERRED SALES CHARGES AFFECT  REDEMPTIONS.  If you purchase  shares subject to a Class A, Class B,
         Class C or Class N contingent  deferred  sales charge and redeem any of those shares during the applicable
         holding  period for the class of shares,  the  contingent  deferred sales charge will be deducted from the
         redemption  proceeds  (unless you are eligible  for a waiver of that sales charge based on the  categories
         listed in Appendix B to the  Statement of  Additional  Information  and you advise the  Transfer  Agent of
         your eligibility for the waiver when you place your redemption request).

         A contingent deferred sales charge will be based on the lesser of the net asset value of the redeemed
shares at the time of redemption or the original net asset value. A contingent deferred sales charge is not
imposed on:
     o   the amount of your account value represented by an increase in net asset value over the initial purchase
         price,
     o   shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, or
     o   shares redeemed in the special circumstances described in Appendix B to the Statement of Additional
         Information

         To determine whether a contingent deferred sales charge applies to a redemption, the Fund redeems shares
         in the following order:
     1.  shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions,
     2.  shares held for the holding period that applies to the class, and
     3.  shares held the longest during the holding period.

         Contingent deferred sales charges are not charged when you exchange shares of the Fund for shares of
other Oppenheimer funds. However, if you exchange them within the applicable contingent deferred sales charge
holding period, the holding period will carry over to the fund whose shares you acquire. Similarly, if you
acquire shares of this Fund by exchanging shares of another Oppenheimer fund that are still subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge holding period, that holding period will carry over to this Fund.

How to Exchange Shares

Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of certain Oppenheimer funds at net asset value per share at the
time of exchange, without sales charge. Shares of the Fund can be purchased by exchange of shares of other
Oppenheimer funds on the same basis. To exchange shares, you must meet several conditions:
     o   Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of residence.
     o   The prospectuses of both funds must offer the exchange privilege.
     o   You must hold the shares you buy when you establish your account for at least seven days before you can
         exchange them. After the account is open seven days, you can exchange shares every regular business day.
     o   You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the fund whose shares you purchase by exchange.
     o   Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain and read its prospectus.

         Shares of a particular class of the Fund may be exchanged only for shares of the same class in the other
Oppenheimer funds. For example, you can exchange Class A shares of this Fund only for Class A shares of another
fund. In some cases, sales charges may be imposed on exchange transactions. For tax purposes, exchanges of shares
involve a sale of the shares of the fund you own and a purchase of the shares of the other fund, which may result
in a capital gain or loss. Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the Statement of Additional Information
for more details.

         You can find a list of Oppenheimer funds currently available for exchanges in the Statement of
Additional Information or obtain one by calling a service representative at 1.800.CALL.OPP.  That list can change
from time to time.

HOW DO YOU SUBMIT EXCHANGE REQUESTS? Exchanges may be requested in writing or by telephone:
Written Exchange Requests.  Submit an OppenheimerFunds Exchange Request form, signed by all owners of the
         account. Send it to the Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover. Exchanges of shares held under
         certificates cannot be processed unless the Transfer Agent receives the certificates with the request.
Telephone Exchange Requests. Telephone exchange requests may be made either by calling a service representative
         at 1.800.852.8457, or by using PhoneLink for automated exchanges by calling 1.800.533.3310. Telephone
         exchanges may be made only between accounts that are registered with the same name(s) and address.
         Shares held under certificates may not be exchanged by telephone.

ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON EXCHANGES? There are certain exchange policies you should be aware of:
     o   Shares are normally redeemed from one fund and purchased from the other fund in the exchange transaction
         on the same regular business day on which the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request that conforms
         to the policies described above. It must be received by the close of The New York Stock Exchange that
         day, which is normally 4:00 P.M. but may be earlier on some days. However, either fund may delay the
         purchase of shares of the fund you are exchanging into up to seven days if it determines it would be
         disadvantaged by the same day exchange.
     o   The  interests  of the Fund's  long-term  shareholders  and its ability to manage its  investments  may be
         adversely  affected  when its shares are  repeatedly  bought and sold in  response  to  short-term  market
         fluctuations--also  known as "market  timing." When large dollar  amounts are involved,  the Fund may have
         difficulty  implementing long-term investment strategies,  because it cannot predict how much cash it will
         have to invest.  Market timing also may force the Fund to sell  portfolio  securities  at  disadvantageous
         times to raise the cash needed to buy a market  timer's  Fund  shares.  These  factors may hurt the Fund's
         performance  and its  shareholders.  When the Manager  believes  frequent  trading would have a disruptive
         effect on the Fund's  ability to manage its  investments,  the  Manager  and the Fund may reject  purchase
         orders and  exchanges  into the Fund by any person,  group or account  that the  Manager  believes to be a
         market timer.
     o   The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. The Fund will provide you
         notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable law, but it may impose changes at any time for
         emergency purposes.
     o   If the Transfer Agent cannot exchange all the shares you request because of a restriction cited above,
         only the shares eligible for exchange will be exchanged.

Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More information about the Fund's policies and procedures for buying, selling and exchanging shares is contained
in the Statement of Additional Information.
Effective September 27, 2002, a $12 annual fee will be charged on any account valued at less than $500. See the
         Statement of Additional Information for circumstances when this fee will not be charged.
The offering of shares may be suspended during any period in which the determination of net asset value is
         suspended, and the offering may be suspended by the Board of Trustees at any time the Board believes it
         is in the Fund's best interest to do so.
Telephone transaction privileges for purchases, redemptions or exchanges may be modified, suspended or terminated
         by the Fund at any time. The Fund will provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable
         law. If an account has more than one owner, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may rely on the instructions
         of any one owner. Telephone privileges apply to each owner of the account and the dealer representative
         of record for the account unless the Transfer Agent receives cancellation instructions from an owner of
         the account.
The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning transactions and has adopted other
         procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine, by requiring callers to provide tax
         identification numbers and other account data or by using PINs, and by confirming such transactions in
         writing. The Transfer Agent and the Fund will not be liable for losses or expenses arising out of
         telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
Redemption or transfer requests will not be honored until the Transfer Agent receives all required documents in
         proper form.  From time to time, the Transfer Agent in its discretion may waive certain of the
         requirements for redemptions stated in this Prospectus.
Dealers that perform account transactions for their clients by participating in NETWORKING through the National
         Securities Clearing Corporation are responsible for obtaining their clients' permission to perform those
         transactions, and are responsible to their clients who are shareholders of the Fund if the dealer
         performs any transaction erroneously or improperly.
The redemption price for shares will vary from day to day because the value of the securities in the Fund's
         portfolio fluctuates. The redemption price, which is the net asset value per share, will normally differ
         for each class of shares. The redemption value of your shares may be more or less than their original
         cost.
Payment for redeemed shares ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by check or through AccountLink (as
         elected by the shareholder) within seven days after the Transfer Agent receives redemption instructions
         in proper form. However, under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange
         Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. For accounts registered in the name of a broker-dealer,
         payment will normally be forwarded within three business days after redemption.
The Transfer Agent may delay forwarding a check or processing a payment via AccountLink for recently purchased
         shares, but only until the purchase payment has cleared. That delay may be as much as 10 days from the
         date the shares were purchased. That delay may be avoided if you purchase shares by Federal Funds wire
         or certified check, or arrange with your bank to provide telephone or written assurance to the Transfer
         Agent that your purchase payment has cleared.
Shares may be "redeemed in kind" under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity in the Fund's portfolio
         to meet redemptions). This means that the redemption proceeds will be paid with liquid securities from
         the Fund's portfolio.
"Backup withholding" of federal income tax may be applied against taxable dividends, distributions and redemption
         proceeds (including exchanges) if you fail to furnish the Fund your correct, certified Social Security
         or Employer Identification Number when you sign your application, or if you under-report your income to
         the Internal Revenue Service.
To avoid  sending  duplicate  copies of  materials  to  households,  the Fund will mail only one copy of each
         prospectus,  annual  and  semi-annual  report  and annual  notice of the  Fund's  privacy  policy to
         shareholders  having the same last name and  address on the Fund's  records.  The  consolidation  of
         these mailings, called householding, benefits the Fund through reduced mailing expense.
         If you want to  receive  multiple  copies of these  materials,  you may call the  Transfer  Agent at
         1.800.CALL.OPP.   You  may  also  notify  the  Transfer  Agent  in  writing.  Individual  copies  of
         prospectuses,  reports and privacy  notices will be sent to you commencing  within 30 days after the
         Transfer Agent receives your request to stop householding.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes
DIVIDENDS. The Fund intends to declare dividends separately for each class of shares from net investment income
annually and to pay dividends to shareholders in December on a date selected by the Board of Trustees. Dividends
and distributions paid on Class A and Class Y shares will generally be higher than dividends for Class B, Class C
and Class N shares, which normally have higher expenses than Class A and Class Y. The Fund has no fixed dividend
rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or distributions.


CAPITAL GAINS.  The Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities.  If it does, it may make
distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains in December of each year.  The Fund may make
supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. There can be no
assurance that the Fund will pay any capital gains distributions in a particular year.

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE FOR RECEIVING DISTRIBUTIONS? When you open your account, specify on your application how
you want to receive your dividends and distributions. You have four options:
Reinvest All Distributions in the Fund. You can elect to reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions
         in additional shares of the Fund.
Reinvest Dividends or Capital Gains. You can elect to reinvest some distributions (dividends, short-term capital
         gains or long-term capital gains distributions) in the Fund while receiving the other types of
         distributions by check or having them sent to your bank account through AccountLink.
Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive a check for all dividends and capital gains
         distributions or have them sent to your bank through AccountLink.
Reinvest Your Distributions in Another OppenheimerFunds Account. You can reinvest all distributions in the same
         class of shares of another OppenheimerFunds account you have established.

TAXES. If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred retirement account, you should be aware of the following tax
implications of investing in the Fund. Distributions are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to
state or local taxes. Dividends paid from short-term capital gains and net investment income are taxable as
ordinary income. Long-term capital gains are taxable as long-term capital gains when distributed to shareholders.
It does not matter how long you have held your shares. Whether you reinvest your distributions in additional
shares or take them in cash, the tax treatment is the same.

         Every year the Fund will send you and the IRS a statement showing the amount of any taxable distribution
you received in the previous year. Any long-term capital gains will be separately identified in the tax
information the Fund sends you after the end of the calendar year.

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

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

Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the Fund may be considered a non-taxable
         return of capital to shareholders. If that occurs, it will be identified in notices to shareholders.

         This information is only a summary of certain federal income tax information about your investment.  You
should consult with your tax advisor about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax
situation.



Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's financial performance for the past
five fiscal years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in
the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming
reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by KPMG LLP, the Fund's
independent auditors, whose report, along with the Fund's financial statements, is included in the Statement of
Additional Information, which is available on request.

ABOUT THE FUND
--------------

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

         The investment  objective,  the principal investment policies and the main risks of the Fund are described
in the  Prospectus.  This  Statement  of  Additional  Information  contains  supplemental  information  about those
policies and risks and the types of securities  that the Fund's  investment  Manager,  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc., can
select for the Fund.  Additional  information is also provided about the strategies that the Fund may use to try to
achieve its objective.

The Fund's Investment Policies.

The  composition  of the Fund's  portfolio and the  techniques  and  strategies  that the Manager uses in selecting
portfolio  securities  will vary over time.  The Fund is not required to use all of the  investment  techniques and
strategies  described  below  in  seeking  its  goal.  It may use some of the  special  investment  techniques  and
strategies at some times or not at all.

         |X| Cyclical  Opportunities.  The Fund might also seek to take  advantage of changes in the business cycle
by investing in companies that are sensitive to those changes if the Manager  believes they have growth  potential.
For example,  when the economy is  expanding,  companies in the consumer  durables  and  technology  sectors  might
benefit and offer long-term growth  opportunities.  Other cyclical industries include insurance,  for example.  The
fund focuses on seeking growth over the long term, but could seek to take tactical  advantage of short-term  market
movements or events affecting particular issuers or industries.

         |X|  Investments in Equity  Securities.  The Fund focuses its  investments  in equity  securities of small
growth companies.  Equity securities include common stocks,  preferred stocks, rights and warrants,  and securities
convertible  into common stock. The Fund's  investments will primarily  include stocks of companies having a market
capitalization of up to $3 billion,  generally measured at the time of the Fund's investment.  However, the Fund is
not required to sell securities it holds of an issuer if the issuer's capitalization exceeds $3 billion.

         The Fund can also invest a portion of its assets in securities of issuers  having a market  capitalization
greater than $3 billion.  At times, in the Manager's  view, the market may favor or disfavor  securities of issuers
of a particular  capitalization  range.  Therefore the Fund may change relative emphasis on its equity  investments
in  securities of one or more  capitalization  ranges,  based upon the Manager's  judgment of where the best market
opportunities are to seek the Fund's objective.

         Growth  companies  might be  providing  new  products  or  services  that could  enable  them to capture a
dominant or  important  market  position.  They may have a special  area of  expertise  or the  capability  to take
advantage of changes in demographic factors in a more profitable way than larger, more established companies.

         Growth  companies  tend to retain a large part of their  earnings for research,  development or investment
in capital assets.  Therefore,  they do not tend to emphasize paying  dividends,  and may not pay any dividends for
some time.  They are selected  for the Fund's  portfolio  because the Manager  believes the price of the stock will
increase over the long term.

         Current income is not a criterion used to select portfolio  securities.  However,  certain debt securities
may be selected for the Fund's  portfolio  for  defensive  purposes  (including  debt  securities  that the Manager
believes may offer some opportunities for capital appreciation when stocks are disfavored).

         In general,  securities of small-cap  issuers may be subject to greater  price  volatility in general than
securities of large-cap and mid-cap  companies.  Therefore,  to the degree that the Fund has investments in smaller
capitalization  companies  at times of market  volatility,  the Fund's  share price may  fluctuate  more.  As noted
below, the Fund limits such investments in unseasoned small cap issuers.

                  |_|  Over-the-Counter  Securities.  Small-cap growth companies that are newer companies may offer
greater  opportunities  for capital  appreciation than securities of large,  more established  companies.  However,
securities of small-cap  companies also involve  greater risks than securities of larger  companies.  Securities of
small  capitalization  issuers  may be  traded on  securities  exchanges  or in the  over-the-counter  market.  The
over-the-counter  markets,  both in the U.S. and abroad,  may have less liquidity than securities  exchanges.  That
lack of  liquidity  can affect the price the Fund is able to obtain  when it wants to sell a  security,  because if
there are fewer  buyers and less  demand  for a  particular  security,  the Fund might not be able to sell it at an
acceptable price or might have to reduce the price in writing to accept in order to dispose of the security.

         In the U.S., the principal  over-the-counter  market is the NASDAQ Stock Market,  Inc., which is regulated
by the National  Association of Securities Dealers,  Inc. It consists of an electronic quotation system for certain
securities,  and a  security  must have at least  two  market  makers to be  included  in  NASDAQ.  There are other
over-the-counter  markets in the U.S., as well as those abroad,  as long as a dealer is willing to make a market in
a particular security.

                  |_| Convertible  Securities.  While some convertible  securities are a form of debt security,  in
many cases their conversion  feature (allowing  conversion into equity  securities) causes them to be regarded more
as "equity  equivalents."  As a result,  the rating  assigned  to the  security  has less  impact on the  Manager's
investment  decision with respect to convertible  securities than in the case of non-convertible  debt fixed-income
securities.  To determine whether  convertible  securities should be regarded as "equity  equivalents," the Manager
examines the following factors:
(1)      whether,  at the option of the investor,  the convertible  security can be exchanged for a fixed number of
         shares of common stock of the issuer,
(2)      whether the issuer of the  convertible  securities  has restated its earnings per share of common stock on
         a fully diluted basis  (considering the effect of conversion of the convertible  securities), and
(3)      the extent to which the  convertible  security  may be a  defensive  "equity  substitute,"  providing  the
         ability to participate in any appreciation in the price of the issuer's common stock.

                  |_| Rights and  Warrants.  The Fund can invest in  warrants  or rights,  including  warrants  and
rights the Fund has  acquired as part of units of  securities  or that are  attached to other  securities  that the
Fund buys.  Warrants  basically are options to purchase  equity  securities at specific prices valid for a specific
period of time.  Their prices do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying  securities.  Rights
are similar to warrants,  but normally  have a short  duration  and are  distributed  directly by the issuer to its
shareholders.  Rights and warrants have no voting  rights,  receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to
the assets of the issuer.

         |X|  Foreign  Securities.  The Fund may  purchase  equity  securities  issued  or  guaranteed  by  foreign
companies  or debt  securities  issued  by  foreign  governments.  "Foreign  securities"  include  equity  and debt
securities of companies  organized under the laws of countries other than the United States.  They may be traded on
foreign securities exchanges or in the foreign over-the-counter markets.

         Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American  Depository  Receipts or that are listed on
a U.S. securities exchange or traded in the U.S.  over-the-counter  markets are not considered "foreign securities"
for the purpose of the Fund's investment  allocations.  That is because they are not subject to many of the special
considerations and risks, discussed below, that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

         Investing  in foreign  securities  offers  potential  benefits  not  available  from  investing  solely in
securities of domestic  issuers.  They include the  opportunity  to invest in foreign  issuers that appear to offer
growth  potential,  or in foreign  countries with economic  policies or business cycles different from those of the
U.S., or to reduce  fluctuations in portfolio  value by taking  advantage of foreign stock markets that do not move
in a manner parallel to U.S.  markets.  The Fund will hold foreign currency only in connection with the purchase or
sale of foreign securities.

         |_| Risks of Foreign  Investing.  Investments in foreign  securities may offer special  opportunities  for
investing but also present special additional risks and  considerations  not typically  associated with investments
in domestic securities. Some of these additional risks are:
o        reduction of income by foreign taxes;
o        fluctuation  in value of  foreign  investments  due to  changes  in  currency  rates or  currency  control
         regulations (for example, currency blockage);
o        transaction charges for currency exchange;
o        lack of public information about foreign issuers;
o        lack of uniform accounting,  auditing and financial  reporting  standards in foreign countries  comparable
         to those applicable to domestic issuers;
o        less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;
o        greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the U.S.;
o        less governmental regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and brokers than in the U.S.;
o        greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;
o        higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;
o        increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio  transactions  or loss of certificates  for portfolio
         securities;
o        possibilities in some countries of expropriation,  confiscatory taxation,  political,  financial or social
         instability or adverse diplomatic developments; and
o        unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.

         In the past, U.S. government  policies have discouraged  certain  investments  abroad by U.S.  investors,
through taxation or other restrictions, and it is possible that such restrictions could be re-imposed.

         |_| Special  Risks of Emerging  Markets.  Emerging and  developing  markets  abroad may also offer special
opportunities  for growth investing but have greater risks than more developed  foreign  markets,  such as those in
Europe,  Canada,  Australia,  New Zealand and Japan. There may be even less liquidity in their securities  markets,
and  settlements  of purchases and sales of securities  may be subject to  additional  delays.  They are subject to
greater risks of limitations on the  repatriation  of income and profits because of currency  restrictions  imposed
by local  governments.  Those  countries  may  also be  subject  to the  risk of  greater  political  and  economic
instability, which can greatly affect the volatility of prices of securities in those countries.

         |X| Portfolio  Turnover.  "Portfolio  turnover"  describes the rate at which the Fund traded its portfolio
securities  during its last fiscal year.  For example,  if a fund sold all of its  securities  during the year, its
portfolio  turnover rate would have been 100%. The Fund's portfolio  turnover rate will fluctuate from year to year
and the Fund may have a portfolio turnover rate of more than 100% annually.

         Increased  portfolio  turnover  creates higher  brokerage and  transaction  costs for the Fund,  which may
reduce its overall  performance.  Additionally,  the realization of capital gains from selling portfolio securities
may result in  distributions  of taxable  long-term  capital  gains to  shareholders,  since the Fund will normally
distribute all of its capital gains realized each year, to avoid excise taxes under the Internal Revenue Code.

Other  Investment  Techniques  and  Strategies.  In seeking its  objective,  the Fund from time to time can use the
types of investment  strategies and investments  described below. It is not required to use all of these strategies
at all times and at times may not use them.


Investment in Other Investment Companies. The Fund can also invest in the securities of other investment
companies, which can include open-end funds, closed-end funds and unit investment trusts, subject to the limits
set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act") that apply to those types of
investments.  For example, the Fund can invest in Exchange-Traded Funds, which are typically open-end funds or
unit investment trusts, listed on a stock exchange.  The Fund might do so as a way of gaining exposure to the
segments of the equity or fixed-income markets represented by the Exchange-Traded Funds' portfolio, at times when
the Fund may not be able to buy those portfolio securities directly.

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


         |X| Investing in Small,  Unseasoned  Companies.  The Fund can invest in  securities  of small,  unseasoned
companies.  These are  companies  that have been in operation for less than three years,  including the  operations
of any  predecessors.  Securities of these  companies are subject to greater  volatility in their prices.  They may
have a limited  trading  market,  which may adversely  affect the Fund's  ability to dispose of them and can reduce
the price the Fund  might be able to  obtain  for them.  Other  investors  that own a  security  issued by a small,
unseasoned  issuer for which there is limited  liquidity  might trade the security  when the Fund is  attempting to
dispose of its  holdings  of that  security.  In that case the Fund might  receive a lower  price for its  holdings
than might  otherwise  be  obtained.  The Fund  currently  intends to invest not more than 10% of its net assets in
those  securities.  The Manager might increase that limit, for example,  if it believes that these securities offer
better capital  appreciation  possibilities  than those of more  established  small-cap  companies.  These are more
speculative securities and can increase the Fund's overall portfolio risks.

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

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

         The majority of these  transactions  run from day to day, and  delivery  pursuant to the resale  typically
occurs  within one to five days of the  purchase.  Repurchase  agreements  having a maturity  beyond seven days are
subject to the Fund's  limits on holding  illiquid  investments.  There is no limit on the amount of the Fund's net
assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements having maturities of seven days or less.

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


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


         |X| Illiquid and  Restricted  Securities.  Under the policies  and  procedures  established  by the Fund's
Board of Trustees,  the Manager determines the liquidity of certain of the Fund's  investments.  To enable the Fund
to sell its holdings of a restricted  security not  registered  under the Securities Act of 1933, the Fund may have
to cause those  securities to be registered.  The expenses of registering  restricted  securities may be negotiated
by the Fund with the  issuer  at the time the Fund buys the  securities.  When the Fund must  arrange  registration
because the Fund wishes to sell the security,  a  considerable  period may elapse  between the time the decision is
made to sell the security and the time the  security is  registered  so that the Fund could sell it. The Fund would
bear the risks of any downward price fluctuation during that period.

         The Fund can also  acquire  restricted  securities  through  private  placements.  Those  securities  have
contractual  restrictions on their public resale.  Those  restrictions might limit the Fund's ability to dispose of
the securities and might lower the amount the Fund could realize upon the sale.

         The Fund has limitations  that apply to purchases of restricted  securities,  as stated in the Prospectus.
Those  percentage  restrictions  are not fundamental  policies and do not limit purchases of restricted  securities
that are eligible for sale to qualified  institutional  purchasers  under Rule 144A of the  Securities Act of 1933,
if those  securities  have been  determined  to be liquid by the Manager  under  Board-approved  guidelines.  Those
guidelines  take into account the trading  activity for such securities and the  availability  of reliable  pricing
information,  among other factors.  If there is a lack of trading interest in a particular Rule 144A security,  the
Fund's  holdings of that  security  may be  considered  to be  illiquid.  Illiquid  securities  include  repurchase
agreements  maturing in more than seven days and participation  interests that do not have puts exercisable  within
seven days.

         |X| Loans of Portfolio Securities.  To raise cash for liquidity purposes,  the Fund can lend its portfolio
securities  to  brokers,  dealers  and other  types of  financial  institutions  approved  by the  Fund's  Board of
Trustees.  The Fund  currently  does not  intend to engage in loans of  securities  in the coming  year,  but if it
does so, such loans will not likely exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets.

         There  are some  risks in  connection  with  securities  lending.  The Fund  might  experience  a delay in
receiving  additional  collateral to secure a loan, or a delay in recovery of the loaned securities if the borrower
defaults.  The Fund must receive collateral for a loan. Under current  applicable  regulatory  requirements  (which
are  subject to  change),  on each  business  day the loan  collateral  must be at least  equal to the value of the
loaned  securities.  It must consist of cash,  bank letters of credit,  securities  of the U.S.  government  or its
agencies  or  instrumentalities,  or other  cash  equivalents  in which  the Fund is  permitted  to  invest.  To be
acceptable  as  collateral,  letters of credit  must  obligate a bank to pay  amounts  demanded  by the Fund if the
demand  meets the  terms of the  letter.  The terms of the  letter  of  credit  and the  issuing  bank both must be
satisfactory to the Fund.

         When it lends  securities,  the Fund  receives  amounts  equal to the  dividends  or  interest  on  loaned
securities.  It also  receives  one or more of (a)  negotiated  loan  fees,  (b)  interest  on  securities  used as
collateral,  and (c) interest on any short-term debt securities  purchased with such loan  collateral.  Either type
of  interest  may be  shared  with  the  borrower.  The  Fund  may also  pay  reasonable  finder's,  custodian  and
administrative  fees in  connection  with these  loans.  The terms of the Fund's loans must meet  applicable  tests
under the Internal  Revenue Code and must permit the Fund to reacquire  loaned  securities  on five days' notice or
in time to vote on any important matter.


         |X| Borrowing  for  Leverage.  The Fund may not borrow  money,  except to the extent  permitted  under the
1940 Act, the rules or  regulations  thereunder or any exemption  therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such
statute,  rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.  Borrowing for investment  purposes
is a speculative technique known as "leverage."  Currently,  under the 1940 Act, borrowings can be made only to the
extent that the value of the Fund's  total  assets,  less its  liabilities  other than  borrowings,  is equal to at
least 300% of all borrowings  (including the proposed  borrowing).  If the value of the Fund's assets fails to meet
this 300% asset  coverage  requirement,  the Fund will reduce its debt within three days to meet this  requirement.
To do so, the Fund might have to sell a portion of its investments at a disadvantageous price.


         The Fund will pay interest on these loans,  and that interest  expense will raise the overall  expenses of
the Fund and reduce its returns.  If it does borrow,  its expenses  will be greater than  comparable  funds that do
not borrow for  leverage.  Additionally,  the Fund's net asset  value per share might  fluctuate  more than that of
funds that do not borrow.  Currently,  the Fund does not contemplate  using this  technique,  but if it does so, it
will not likely be to a substantial degree.

         |X| Derivatives.  The Fund can invest in a variety of derivative  investments to seek income for liquidity
needs or for hedging purposes.  Some derivative  investments the Fund can use are the hedging instruments described
below in this  Statement  of  Additional  Information.  However,  the Fund  does  not use,  and does not  currently
contemplate using, derivatives or hedging instruments to a significant degree.

         Some of the derivative  investments  the Fund can use include "debt  exchangeable  for common stock" of an
issuer or  "equity-linked  debt  securities" of an issuer.  At maturity,  the debt security is exchanged for common
stock of the issuer or it is payable in an amount  based on the price of the  issuer's  common stock at the time of
maturity.  Both  alternatives  present a risk that the amount  payable at maturity  will be less than the principal
amount of the debt because the price of the issuer's common stock may not be as high as the Manager expected.

         |X| Hedging.  Although the Fund does not  anticipate  the extensive use of hedging  instruments,  the Fund
can use hedging  instruments.  To attempt to protect against declines in the market value of the Fund's  portfolio,
to permit the Fund to retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio  securities which have  appreciated,  or to
facilitate selling securities for investment reasons, the Fund could:
         |_|  sell futures contracts,
         |_|  buy puts on such futures or on securities, or
         |_|  write covered  calls on securities or futures.  Covered calls may also be used to increase the Fund's
              income, but the Manager does not expect to engage extensively in that practice.

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

         The Fund's  strategy  of hedging  with  futures and options on futures  will be  incidental  to the Fund's
activities  in the  underlying  cash market.  The  particular  hedging  instruments  the Fund can use are described
below.  The Fund may employ new hedging  instruments  and strategies when they are developed,  if those  investment
methods are consistent  with the Fund's  investment  objective and are  permissible  under  applicable  regulations
governing the Fund.

         |_| Futures.  The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to (1)  broadly-based  stock indices
(these are referred to as "stock index futures"),  (2) other  broadly-based  securities indices (these are referred
to as "financial  futures"),  (3) debt securities  (these are referred to as "interest rate futures"),  (4) foreign
currencies  (these  are  referred  to as  "forward  contracts"),  and (5)  commodities  (these are  referred  to as
"commodity futures").

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

         An interest  rate future  obligates  the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to take) cash or a specified
type of debt  security  to settle the  futures  transaction.  Either  party  could  also  enter into an  offsetting
contract to close out the position.

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

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

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

         |_| Put and Call  Options.  The  Fund can buy and sell  certain  kinds of put  options  ("puts")  and call
options  ("calls"),  as explained  below. The Fund can write (that is, sell) puts. The Fund will not write puts if,
as a result, more than 50% of the Fund's net assets would be required to be segregated to cover such put options.

                  |_|  Writing  Covered  Call  Options.  The  Fund can  write  (that  is,  sell)  covered  calls on
securities,  indices or  futures.  A call is covered  if the Fund owns the  security  subject to the call while the
call is  outstanding,  or, for certain  types of calls,  the call may be covered by  segregating  liquid  assets to
enable the Fund to satisfy its  obligation  if the call is  exercised.  Up to 25% of the Funds total  assets may be
subject to calls the Fund writes.

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

         When  the  Fund  writes  a call on an  index,  it  receives  cash (a  premium).  If the  buyer of the call
exercises  it, the Fund will pay an amount of cash equal to the  difference  between the closing  price of the call
and the exercise  price,  multiplied by a specified  multiple that  determines the total value of the call for each
point of difference.  If the value of the underlying  investment  does not rise above the call price,  it is likely
that the call will lapse without being exercised. In that case, the Fund would keep the cash premium.

         The Fund's custodian,  or a securities depository acting for the custodian,  will act as the Fund's escrow
agent,  through the facilities of the Options  Clearing  Corporation  ("OCC"),  as to the  investments on which the
Fund has written  calls traded on exchanges or as to other  acceptable  escrow  securities.  In that way, no margin
will be required for such  transactions.  OCC will release the  securities on the  expiration of the option or when
the Fund enters into a closing transaction.

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

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

         |_| Writing Put Options.  The Fund may sell put options.  A put option on  securities  gives the purchaser
the right to sell,  and the writer the  obligation to buy, the  underlying  investment at the exercise price during
the option  period.  The Fund will not write puts if, as a result,  more than 50% of the Fund's net assets would be
required to be identified on the Fund's books to cover such put options.

         If the Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by liquid assets  identified  on the Fund's  books.  The
premium  the Fund  receives  from  writing  a put  represents  a  profit,  as long as the  price of the  underlying
investment  remains equal to or above the exercise price of the put. However,  the Fund also assumes the obligation
during the option period to buy the underlying  investment  from the buyer of the put at the exercise  price,  even
if the value of the investment  falls below the exercise price. If a put the Fund has written expires  unexercised,
the  Fund  realizes  a gain in the  amount  of the  premium  less the  transaction  costs  incurred.  If the put is
exercised,  the Fund must fulfill its obligation to purchase the underlying  investment at the exercise price. That
price will  usually  exceed the market value of the  investment  at that time.  In that case,  the Fund may incur a
loss if it  sells  the  underlying  investment.  That  loss  will be  equal  to the sum of the  sale  price  of the
underlying  investment and the premium  received minus the sum of the exercise price and any transaction  costs the
Fund incurred.

         When writing a put option on a security,  to secure its obligation to pay for the underlying  security the
Fund will  deposit  in escrow  liquid  assets  with a value  equal to or  greater  than the  exercise  price of the
underlying  securities.  The Fund therefore  forgoes the opportunity of investing the identified  assets or writing
calls against those assets.

         As long as the Fund's  obligation as the put writer  continues,  it may be assigned an exercise  notice by
the  broker-dealer  through  which the put was sold.  That  notice will  require  the Fund to take  delivery of the
underlying  security and pay the exercise  price.  The Fund has no control over when it may be required to purchase
the underlying  security,  since it may be assigned an exercise  notice at any time prior to the termination of its
obligation as the writer of the put. That  obligation  terminates upon expiration of the put. It may also terminate
if, before it receives an exercise notice,  the Fund effects a closing purchase  transaction by purchasing a put of
the same  series as it sold.  Once the Fund has been  assigned  an  exercise  notice,  it  cannot  effect a closing
purchase transaction.

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

         |_| Purchasing  Calls and Puts. The Fund can purchase calls to protect  against the  possibility  that the
Fund's  portfolio will not participate in an anticipated rise in the securities  market.  When the Fund buys a call
(other  than in a  closing  purchase  transaction),  it pays a  premium.  The Fund  then  has the  right to buy the
underlying  investment  from a seller of a corresponding  call on the same  investment  during the call period at a
fixed exercise  price.  The Fund benefits only if it sells the call at a profit or if, during the call period,  the
market price of the  underlying  investment is above the sum of the call price plus the  transaction  costs and the
premium  paid for the call and the Fund  exercises  the  call.  If the Fund does not  exercise  the call or sell it
(whether or not at a profit),  the call will become  worthless at its  expiration  date. In that case the Fund will
have paid the premium but lost the right to purchase the underlying investment.

         The Fund can buy calls on securities,  or indices,  or on futures permitted by the Fund's other investment
policies.  The Fund can buy and sell futures  contracts  that relate to (1) stock indices (these are referred to as
"stock  index  futures"),  (2)  securities  indices  (these  are  referred  to as  "financial  futures"),  (3) debt
securities  (these are referred to as "interest rate futures"),  (4) foreign  currencies  (these are referred to as
"forward contracts"), and (5) commodities (these are referred to as "commodity futures").

         The Fund can buy puts on  securities,  on indices or on futures  that are  permitted  by the Fund's  other
investment  policies.  When the Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium and, except as to puts on indices,  has the
right to sell the underlying  investment to a seller of a put on a corresponding  investment  during the put period
at a fixed  exercise  price.  Buying a put on  securities  or futures the Fund owns  enables the Fund to attempt to
protect  itself  during  the put  period  against a decline  in the value of the  underlying  investment  below the
exercise price by selling the underlying  investment at the exercise price to a seller of a  corresponding  put. If
the market price of the  underlying  investment is equal to or above the exercise  price and, as a result,  the put
is not exercised or resold,  the put will become  worthless at its expiration date. In that case the Fund will have
paid the premium but lost the right to sell the  underlying  investment.  However,  the Fund may sell the put prior
to its expiration. That sale may or may not be at a profit.

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

         The Fund can buy a put or call only if after the  purchase,  the value of all call and put options held by
the Fund will not exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

         |_| Forward  Contracts.  Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange  contracts.  They are used to buy
or sell foreign  currency for future  delivery at a fixed  price.  The Fund uses them to "lock in" the U.S.  dollar
price of a security  denominated  in a foreign  currency  that the Fund has bought or sold,  or to protect  against
possible  losses from changes in the relative  values of the U.S.  dollar and a foreign  currency.  The Fund limits
its exposure in foreign currency  exchange  contracts in a particular  foreign currency to the amount of its assets
denominated in that currency or a  closely-correlated  currency.  The Fund may also use  "cross-hedging"  where the
Fund hedges against changes in currencies other than the currency in which a security it holds is denominated.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

         |_|  Regulatory  Aspects of Hedging  Instruments.  When using futures and options on futures,  the Fund is
required to operate within certain  guidelines and  restrictions  with respect to the use of futures as established
by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC").  In particular,  the Fund is exempted from registration
with the CFTC as a "commodity  pool  operator" if the Fund  complies with the  requirements  of Rule 4.5 adopted by
the CFTC.  The Rule does not limit the  percentage  of the Fund's  assets that may be used for  futures  margin and
related  options  premiums  for a bona fide  hedging  position.  However,  under the Rule,  the Fund must limit its
aggregate  initial  futures  margin and related  options  premiums to not more than 5% of the Fund's net assets for
hedging  strategies  that are not considered bona fide hedging  strategies  under the Rule. The Fund limits the sum
of all margin  deposits on futures and premiums  paid on related  options to 5% of the Fund's total  assets.  Under
the Rule,  the Fund must also use short  futures  and  options on futures  solely  for bona fide  hedging  purposes
within the meaning and intent of the applicable provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act.

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

         Under the  Investment  Company Act,  when the Fund  purchases a future,  it must  maintain cash or readily
marketable  short-term  debt  instruments in an amount equal to the market value of the  securities  underlying the
future, less the margin deposit applicable to it.

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

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

         Under the Internal Revenue Code, the following gains or losses are treated as ordinary income or loss:
(1)      gains or losses  attributable  to  fluctuations  in  exchange  rates that occur  between the time the Fund
         accrues  interest or other  receivables  or accrues  expenses or other  liabilities  denominated in a
         foreign currency and the time the Fund actually  collects such receivables or pays such  liabilities, and
(2)      gains or losses  attributable  to  fluctuations  in the value of a foreign  currency  between  the date of
         acquisition  of a debt  security  denominated  in a foreign  currency  or  foreign  currency  forward
         contracts and the date of disposition.

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

         |X| Temporary Defensive  Investments.  When market conditions are unstable,  or the Manager believes it is
otherwise  appropriate  to reduce  holdings  in stocks,  the Fund can invest in a variety  of debt  securities  for
defensive  purposes.  The Fund can also purchase these securities for liquidity  purposes to meet cash needs due to
the  redemption of Fund shares,  or to hold while waiting  reinvest cash received from the sale of other  portfolio
securities. The Fund can buy:
         o    high-quality  (rated in the top rating categories of  nationally-recognized  rating  organizations or
              deemed by the Manager to be of comparable  quality),  short-term money market instruments,  including
              those issued by the U. S. Treasury or other government agencies,
         o    commercial paper  (short-term,  unsecured,  promissory notes of domestic or foreign  companies) rated
              in the top rating category of a nationally-recognized rating organization,
         o    debt  obligations  of  corporate  issuers,  rated  investment  grade  (rated at least Baa by  Moody's
              Investors Service,  Inc. or at least BBB by Standard & Poor's Corporation,  or a comparable rating by
              another  rating  organization),  or unrated  securities  judged by the  Manager to have a  comparable
              quality to rated securities in those categories,
         o    referred stocks,
         o    certificates  of deposit and bankers'  acceptances of domestic and foreign banks and savings and loan
              associations, and
         o    repurchase agreements.

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

Investment Restrictions

         |X| What Are  "Fundamental  Policies?"  Fundamental  policies are those policies that the Fund has adopted
to govern its  investments  that can be changed only by the vote of a "majority" of the Fund's  outstanding  voting
securities.  Under the  Investment  Company  Act, a  "majority"  vote is defined as the vote of the  holders of the
lesser of:
         o    67% or more of the shares present or represented  by proxy at a shareholder  meeting,  if the holders
              of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or
         o    more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

         The Fund's investment  objective is a fundamental  policy.  Other policies  described in the Prospectus or
this Statement of Additional  Information are  "fundamental"  only if they are identified as such. The Fund's Board
of Trustees can change  non-fundamental  policies without  shareholder  approval.  However,  significant changes to
investment  policies will be described in  supplements or updates to the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional
Information, as appropriate. The Fund's most significant investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

         |X| What are the Fund's  Additional  Fundamental  Policies?  The  following  investment  restrictions  are
fundamental policies of the Fund.
o        The Fund cannot buy  securities or other  instruments  issued or guaranteed by any one issuer if more than
              5% of its total assets would be invested in securities or other  instruments  of that issuer or if it
              would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting  securities.  This limitation  applies to 75% of
              the Fund's total  assets.  The limit does not apply to  securities  issued by the U.S.  government or
              any of its agencies or instrumentalities.
         o    The Fund cannot deviate from the percentage  limitations  for its  investment  policies  described as
              "fundamental policies" in this Statement of Additional Information or in the Prospectus.
o        The Fund cannot make loans  except (a) through  lending  securities  in an amount not to exceed 25% of its
              total assets,  (b) through the purchase of debt securities or similar evidences of indebtedness,  (c)
              through an interfund  lending program (if applicable) with other affiliated  funds,  provided that no
              such loan may be made if, as a result,  the  aggregate of such loans would exceed 331/3% of the value
              of its total assets  (taken at market value at the time of such  loans),  and (d) through  repurchase
              agreements.
o        The Fund cannot  concentrate  investments.  That means it cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in
              companies in any one industry.
o        The Fund cannot underwrite  securities of other companies.  A permitted  exception is in case it is deemed
              to be an underwriter  under the Securities Act of 1933 when reselling any securities  held in its own
              portfolio.

o        The Fund cannot  invest in real estate,  except to the extent  permitted  under the 1940 Act, the rules or
              regulations  thereunder or any exemption  therefrom,  as such statute,  rules or  regulations  may be
              amended from time to time.

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

         |X|  Non-Fundamental  Investment  Restrictions.  The  following  operating  policies  of the  Fund are not
fundamental  policies and, as such, may be changed,  provided such change is consistent with the Investment Company
Act of 1940 and other  applicable  regulations  by vote of a  majority  of the  Fund's  Board of  Trustees  without
shareholder approval.  These additional restrictions provide that:

         o The Fund cannot  invest in physical  commodities  or  commodity  contracts;  however,  the Fund may: (1)
         buy and sell hedging instruments  permitted by any of its other investment policies,  and (2) buy and sell
         options,  futures,  securities  or other  instruments  backed by, or the  investment  return from which is
         linked to changes in the price of, physical commodities.

         Unless the Prospectus or this  Statement of Additional  Information  states that a percentage  restriction
applies  on an ongoing  basis,  it applies  only at the time the Fund makes an  investment.  The Fund need not sell
securities  to meet the  percentage  limits if the value of the  investment  increases in proportion to the size of
the Fund.

         For purposes of the Fund's policy not to  concentrate  its  investments as described  above,  the Fund has
adopted the industry  classifications set forth in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information.  This is
not a fundamental policy.

How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History.  The Fund is an open-end,  diversified  management  investment  company with an unlimited
number of authorized  shares of beneficial  interest.  The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts  business trust in
1985.

         The Fund is  governed by a Board of  Trustees,  which is  responsible  for  protecting  the  interests  of
shareholders  under  Massachusetts  law. The Trustees meet  periodically  throughout the year to oversee the Fund's
activities,  review its  performance,  and review the actions of the  Manager.  Although the Fund will not normally
hold  annual  meetings  of its  shareholders,  it may hold  shareholder  meetings  from  time to time on  important
matters,  and  shareholders  have the right to call a meeting to remove a Trustee or to take other action described
in the Fund's Declaration of Trust.

         |X| Classes of Shares.  The Board of  Trustees  has the power,  without  shareholder  approval,  to divide
unissued  shares of the Fund into two or more  classes.  The Board  has done so,  and the Fund  currently  has five
classes of  shares:  Class A, Class B,  Class C,  Class N and Class Y. All  classes  invest in the same  investment
portfolio. Each class of shares:
o        has its own dividends and distributions,
o        pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,
o        may have a different net asset value,
o        may have separate  voting rights on matters in which  interests of one class are different  from interests
         of another class, and
o        votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

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

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

         |X| Meetings of  Shareholders.  As a Massachusetts  business trust,  the Fund is not required to hold, and
does not plan to hold,  regular annual  meetings of  shareholders.  The Fund will hold meetings when required to do
so by the Investment  Company Act or other applicable law. It will also do so when a shareholder  meeting is called
by the Trustees or upon proper request of the shareholders.

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

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

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

  1Aggregate  compensation  includes fees, deferred  compensation,  if any, and retirement plan benefits accrued
  for a Trustee, if any. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002.
  2For the 2002 calendar year.
  3Total  compensation  for the 2002  calendar  year includes  $_______  compensation  received for serving as a
  Trustee or Director of 10 other Oppenheimer funds.
  4Includes $______ deferred under Deferred Compensation Plan described below.
  5Includes $_____ deferred under Deferred Compensation Plan described below.
  6 Trustee  retirement  accruals were a negative $______ for the year. It has been determined that the SAI will
  not include a negative  expense so a zero amount will be reflected.  The  "Aggregate  Compensation  from Fund"
  information does not include retirement accrual since they were negative.


         |X|  Retirement  Plan for Trustees.  The Fund has adopted a retirement  plan that provides for payments to
retired  Trustees.  Payments  are up to 80% of the  average  compensation  paid  during a  Trustee's  five years of
service in which the highest  compensation  was  received.  A Trustee  must serve as trustee for any of the Board I
Oppenheimer  funds  for at least 15 years  to be  eligible  for the  maximum  payment.  Each  Trustee's  retirement
benefits  will depend on the amount of the  Trustee's  future  compensation  and length of service.  Therefore  the
amount of those  benefits  cannot be determined  at this time,  nor can we estimate the number of years of credited
service that will be used to determine those benefits.

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

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


         |X| Major  Shareholders.  As of  _________________,  no person owned of record or was known by the Fund to
own beneficially 5% or more of the Fund's  outstanding  Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N or Class Y shares except
the following:



The Manager.  The Manager is  wholly-owned  by  Oppenheimer  Acquisition  Corp.,  a holding  company  controlled by
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company.

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

         The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the  Fund's  registration  statement  filed  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington,  D.C. You can
obtain   information  about  the  hours  of  operation  of  the  Public  Reference  Room  by  calling  the  SEC  at
1-202-942-8090.  The Code of Ethics can also be viewed as part of the Fund's  registration  statement  on the SEC's
EDGAR database at the SEC's Internet  website at  www.sec.gov.  Copies may be obtained,  after paying a duplicating
fee,  by  electronic  request at the  following  E-mail  address:  publicinfo@sec.gov.,  or by writing to the SEC's
Public Reference Section, Washington, D.C. 20549-0102.

         |X| The Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  The Manager provides investment advisory and management services
to the Fund  under an  investment  advisory  agreement  between  the  Manager  and the Fund.  The  Manager  selects
securities  for the Fund's  portfolio and handles its  day-to-day  business.  The portfolio  manager of the Fund is
employed by the Manager and is the person who is  principally  responsible  for the  day-to-day  management  of the
Fund's portfolio.  Other members of the Manager's Equity Portfolio Team provide the portfolio managers with counsel
and support in managing the Fund's portfolio.

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

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

               --------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

         The investment  advisory  agreement states that in the absence of willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross
negligence  in the  performance  of its duties or  reckless  disregard  of its  obligations  and  duties  under the
investment  advisory  agreement,  the  Manager  is not liable for any loss the Fund  sustains  for any  investment,
adoption of any investment policy, or the purchase, sale or retention of any security.

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

Brokerage Policies of the Fund

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

         Under the investment  advisory  agreement,  the Manager may select brokers  (other than  affiliates)  that
provide  brokerage  and/or  research  services for the Fund and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its
affiliates have investment  discretion.  The commissions paid to such brokers may be higher than another  qualified
broker would charge,  if the Manager makes a good faith  determination  that the  commission is fair and reasonable
in relation to the services  provided.  Subject to those  considerations,  as a factor in selecting brokers for the
Fund's  portfolio  transactions,  the Manager may also  consider  sales of shares of the Fund and other  investment
companies for which the Manager or an affiliate serves as investment advisor.

Brokerage  Practices  Followed  by the  Manager.  The  Manager  allocates  brokerage  for the Fund  subject  to the
provisions of the investment  advisory  agreement and the  procedures and rules  described  above.  Generally,  the
Manager's  portfolio traders allocate brokerage based upon  recommendations  from the Manager's portfolio managers.
In certain  instances,  portfolio  managers may directly place trades and allocate  brokerage.  In either case, the
Manager's executive officers supervise the allocation of brokerage.

         Transactions  in  securities  other than those for which an exchange is the primary  market are  generally
done with  principals or market  makers.  In  transactions  on foreign  exchanges,  the Fund may be required to pay
fixed brokerage  commissions and therefore would not have the benefit of negotiated  commissions  available in U.S.
markets.  Brokerage  commissions  are  paid  primarily  for  transactions  in  listed  securities  or  for  certain
fixed-income  agency  transactions in the secondary  market.  Otherwise  brokerage  commissions are paid only if it
appears  likely that a better price or execution  can be obtained by doing so. In an option  transaction,  the Fund
ordinarily  uses the same broker for the purchase or sale of the option and any  transaction  in the  securities to
which the option relates.

         Other funds  advised by the Manager have  investment  policies  similar to those of the Fund.  Those other
funds may  purchase or sell the same  securities  as the Fund at the same time as the Fund,  which could affect the
supply and price of the securities.  If two or more funds advised by the Manager  purchase the same security on the
same day from the same  dealer,  the  transactions  under  those  combined  orders  are  averaged  as to price  and
allocated in accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.

         Most purchases of debt  obligations are principal  transactions  at net prices.  Instead of using a broker
for those transactions,  the Fund normally deals directly with the selling or purchasing  principal or market maker
unless the Manager  determines  that a better price or execution can be obtained by using the services of a broker.
Purchases of portfolio  securities from  underwriters  include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the
underwriter.  Purchases from dealers  include a spread  between the bid and asked prices.  The Fund seeks to obtain
prompt execution of these orders at the most favorable net price.

         The investment  advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate  brokerage for research  services.  The
research  services  provided by a particular  broker may be useful only to one or more of the advisory  accounts of
the Manager and its affiliates.  The investment  research  received for the commissions of those other accounts may
be useful both to the Fund and one or more of the Manager's  other  accounts.  Investment  research may be supplied
to the Manager by a third party at the instance of a broker through which trades are placed.

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

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

         The research  services  provided by brokers broadens the scope and supplements the research  activities of
the Manager.  That research provides  additional views and comparisons for consideration,  and helps the Manager to
obtain  market  information  for the valuation of  securities  that are either held in the Fund's  portfolio or are
being  considered  for  purchase.  The Manager  provides  information  to the Board about the  commissions  paid to
brokers furnishing such services,  together with the Manager's  representation  that the amount of such commissions
was reasonably related to the value or benefit of such services.

Distribution and Service Plans

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

         The sales charges and concessions paid to, or retained by, the Distributor from the sale of shares
during the Fund's three most recent fiscal years, and the contingent deferred sales charges retained by the
Distributor on the redemption of shares for the most recent fiscal year are shown in the tables below.

  ----------------- ------------------------- -------------------------- ------------------------- -------------------------

Distribution  and  Service  Plans.  The Fund has  adopted a Service  Plan for Class A shares and  Distribution  and
Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the  Investment  Company Act. Under those
plans  the  Fund  pays  the  Distributor  for all or a  portion  of its  costs  incurred  in  connection  with  the
distribution and/or servicing of the shares of the particular class.

         Under the plans,  the Manager  and the  Distributor  may make  payments  to  affiliates  and in their sole
discretion,  from time to time,  may use their own  resources  (at no direct cost to the Fund) to make  payments to
brokers,  dealers or other financial  institutions for distribution and administrative  services they perform.  The
Manager  may use its profits  from the  advisory  fee it  receives  from the Fund.  In their sole  discretion,  the
Distributor  and the Manager may increase or decrease the amount of payments  they make from their own resources to
plan recipients.

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

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

         While the Plans are in effect,  the Treasurer of the Fund shall provide  separate  written  reports on the
plans to the Board of  Trustees at least  quarterly  for its review.  The  Reports  shall  detail the amount of all
payments made under a plan,  the purpose for which the payments  were made and the identity of each  recipient of a
payment.  The reports on the Class B Plan and Class C Plan shall also include the Distributor's  distribution costs
for that  quarter and in the case of the Class B Plan the amount of those costs for  previous  fiscal  periods that
have been carried forward. Those reports are subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

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

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

         |X| Class A Service Plan Fees.  Under the Class A service plan,  the  Distributor  currently uses the fees
it  receives  from the Fund to pay  brokers,  dealers and other  financial  institutions  (they are  referred to as
"recipients")  for personal  services and account  maintenance  services they provide for their  customers who hold
Class A shares.  The services include,  among others,  answering  customer  inquiries about the Fund,  assisting in
establishing  and  maintaining  accounts in the Fund,  making the Fund's  investment  plans available and providing
other  services  at the  request of the Fund or the  Distributor.  While the plan  permits  the Board to  authorize
payments to the  Distributor  to reimburse  itself for services  under the plan, the Board has not yet done so. The
Distributor  makes  payments to plan  recipients  quarterly  at an annual  rate not to exceed  0.25% of the average
annual net assets consisting of Class A shares acquired.


         For the fiscal year ended  September 30, 2002 payments under the Class A Plan totaled  $_________,  all of
which  was  paid  by  the  Distributor  to  recipients.  That  included  $_______  paid  to  an  affiliate  of  the
Distributor's  parent company.  Any unreimbursed  expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in
any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent  years.  The Distributor may not use payments  received the Class
A Plan to pay any of its interest expenses, carrying charges, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.

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


         The Class B, Class C and the Class N Plans permit the  Distributor  to retain both the  asset-based  sales
charges and the  service  fees or to pay  recipients  the service  fee on a  quarterly  basis,  without  payment in
advance.  However, the Distributor  currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the first
year after the shares are purchased.  After the first year shares are  outstanding,  the Distributor  makes service
fee  payments  quarterly  on those  shares.  The advance  payment is based on the net asset  value of shares  sold.
Shares  purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advance  service fee  payment.  If Class B, Class C or Class N
shares are redeemed during the first year after their  purchase,  the recipient of the service fees on those shares
will be obligated  to repay the  Distributor  a pro rata portion of the advance  payment of the service fee made on
those shares.

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

         The  asset-based  sales  charges  on Class B,  Class C and Class N shares  allow  investors  to buy shares
without a front-end sales charge while allowing the Distributor to compensate  dealers that sell those shares.  The
Fund pays the  asset-based  sales charges to the Distributor  for its services  rendered in  distributing  Class B,
Class C and Class N shares. The payments are made to the Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:
o        pays sales  concessions  to  authorized  brokers and dealers at the time of sale and pays  service fees as
         described above,
o        may finance  payment of sales  concessions  and/or the  advance of the  service fee payment to  recipients
         under the plans,  or may provide such  financing  from its own  resources or from the resources of an
         affiliate,
o        employs personnel to support distribution of Class B, Class C and Class N shares, and
o        bears the costs of sales literature,  advertising and prospectuses  (other than those furnished to current
         shareholders) and state "blue sky" registration fees and certain other distribution expenses.
o        may not be able to adequately compensate dealers that sell Class B, Class C and Class N shares without
         receiving payment under the plans and therefore may not be able to offer such Classes for sale
         absent the plans,
o        receives payments under the plans consistent with the service fees and asset-based sales charges paid by
         other non-proprietary funds that charge 12b-1 fees,
o        may use the payments under the plan to include the Fund in various third-party distribution programs
         that may increase sales of Fund shares,
o        may experience increased difficulty selling the Fund's shares if payments under the plan are
         discontinued because most competitor funds have plans that pay dealers for rendering distribution
         services as much or more than the amounts currently being paid by the Fund, and
o        may not be able to continue providing, at the same or at a lesser cost, the same quality distribution
         sales efforts and services, or to obtain such services from brokers and dealers, if the plan
         payments were to be discontinued.

         When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are sold without the designation of a broker-dealer, the
Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of record. In those cases, the Distributor retains
the service fee and asset-based sales charge paid on Class B, Class C and Class N shares.

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

Performance of the Fund

Explanation  of  Performance  Terminology.  The  Fund  uses  a  variety  of  terms  to  illustrate  its  investment
performance.  Those terms include  "cumulative  total return," "average annual total return," "average annual total
return at net asset  value"  and  "total  return at net asset  value."  An  explanation  of how total  returns  are
calculated  is set forth below.  The charts below show the Fund's  performance  as of the Fund's most recent fiscal
year end. You can obtain current  performance  information by calling the Fund's  Transfer Agent at  1-800-525-7048
or by visiting the OppenheimerFunds Internet website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

         The  Fund's  illustrations  of its  performance  data in  advertisements  must  comply  with  rules of the
Securities and Exchange  Commission.  Those rules  describe the types of performance  data that may be used and how
it is to be  calculated.  In  general,  any  advertisement  by the Fund of its  performance  data must  include the
average  annual total returns for the advertised  class of shares of the Fund.  Those returns must be shown for the
1-, 5- and 10-year  periods  (or the life of the class,  if less)  ending as of the most  recently  ended  calendar
quarter prior to the publication of the advertisement (or its submission for publication).

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

         o Total returns  measure the  performance of a hypothetical  account in the Fund over various  periods and
do not show the performance of each  shareholder's  account.  Your account's  performance  will vary from the model
performance  data if your  dividends  are  received in cash,  or you buy or sell shares  during the period,  or you
bought your shares at a different time and price than the shares used in the model.
         o The Fund's  performance  returns  do no  reflect  the effect of taxes on  dividends  and  capital  gains
distributions.
         o An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.
         o The  principal  value of the Fund's  shares and total  returns  are not  guaranteed  and  normally  will
fluctuate on a daily basis.
         o When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost.
         o Total returns for any given past period represent  historical  performance  information and are not, and
should not be considered, a prediction of future returns.

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

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


         In  calculating  total  returns  for Class A  shares,  the  current  maximum  sales  charge of 5.75% (as a
percentage  of the  offering  price) is deducted  from the  initial  investment  ("P")  (unless the return is shown
without sales charge,  as described  below).  For Class B shares,  payment of the  applicable  contingent  deferred
sales  charge is applied,  depending on the period for which the return is shown:  5.0% in the first year,  4.0% in
the  second  year,  3.0% in the third and fourth  years,  2.0% in the fifth  year,  1.0% in the sixth year and none
thereafter.  For Class C shares,  the 1.0%  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is  deducted  for  returns  for the
one-year  period.  For Class N shares,  the 1.0%  contingent  deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the
life of class periods.  There is no sales charge for Class Y shares.


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

                                    1/n
                                ERV
                                ---      - 1 = Average Annual Total Return
                                 P

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

                                ERV-P
                                -----  = Total Return
                                  P

                  |_| Total  Returns at Net Asset  Value.  From time to time the Fund may also  quote a  cumulative
or an average  annual total return "at net asset value"  (without  deducting  sales  charges) for Class A, Class B,
Class C or Class N  shares.  There is no sales  charge on Class Y shares.  Each is based on the  difference  in net
asset value per share at the  beginning  and the end of the period for a  hypothetical  investment in that class of
shares  (without  considering  front-end or contingent  deferred  sales charges) and takes into  consideration  the
reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions.

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

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


         |X|  Morningstar  Rankings.  From time to time the Fund may publish the star ranking of the performance of
its classes of shares by  Morningstar,  Inc., an independent  mutual fund  monitoring  service.  Morningstar  ranks
mutual funds in their specialized market sector.  The Fund is ranked among domestic stock funds.

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


         The Fund  may also  compare  its  performance  to that of other  funds  in its  Morningstar  category.  In
addition to its star rankings,  Morningstar  also  categorizes  and compares a fund's 3-year  performance  based on
Morningstar's  classification of the fund's  investments and investment  style,  rather than how a fund defines its
investment objective.  Morningstar's four broad categories (domestic equity,  international equity,  municipal bond
and taxable  bond) are each  further  subdivided  into  categories  based on types of  investments  and  investment
styles.  Those  comparisons by Morningstar are based on the same risk and return  measurements as its star rankings
but do not consider the effect of sales charges..

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

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

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

         From time to time the Fund may  include  in its  advertisements  and  sales  literature  the total  return
performance of a hypothetical  investment  account that includes  shares of the fund and other  Oppenheimer  funds.
The combined  account may be part of an  illustration of an asset  allocation  model or similar  presentation.  The
account  performance  may combine total return  performance  of the fund and the total return  performance of other
Oppenheimer funds included in the account.  Additionally,  from time to time, the Fund's  advertisements  and sales
literature may include,  for  illustrative or comparative  purposes,  statistical data or other  information  about
general or specific market and economic conditions. That may include, for example,
o        information  about the  performance  of certain  securities  or  commodities  markets or segments of those
     markets,
o        information about the performance of the economies of particular countries or regions,
o        the earnings of companies  included in segments of particular  industries,  sectors,  securities  markets,
     countries or regions,
o        the availability of different types of securities or offerings of securities,
o        information  relating  to the gross  national  or gross  domestic  product of the  United  States or other
     countries or regions,
o        comparisons  of  various  market   sectors  or  indices  to  demonstrate   performance,   risk,  or  other
     characteristics of the Fund.


ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

How to Buy Shares


         Additional  information  is presented  below about the methods that can be used to buy shares of the Fund.
Appendix B contains more  information  about the special  sales charge  arrangements  offered by the Fund,  and the
circumstances in which sales charges may be reduced or waived for certain classes of investors.


AccountLink.  When shares are purchased  through  AccountLink,  each purchase must be at least $25.  Shares will be
purchased the regular  business day the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated  Clearing House ("ACH")
transfer  to buy the  shares.  Dividends  will  begin to  accrue  on  shares  purchased  with the  proceeds  of ACH
transfers on the business day the Fund received  federal funds from the purchase  through the ACH system before the
close of The New York  Stock  Exchange.  The  Exchange  normally  closes at 4:00  P.M.,  but may close  earlier  on
certain days.  The proceeds of ACH  transfers are normally  received by the Fund three days after the transfers are
initiated.  If the proceeds of the ACH transfer are not received on a timely basis,  the  Distributor  reserves the
right to  cancel  the  purchase  order.  The  Distributor  and the  Fund  are not  responsible  for any  delays  in
purchasing shares resulting from delays in ACH transmissions.


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


         |X|  Right of Accumulation.  To qualify for the lower sales charge rates that apply to larger purchases
of Class A shares, you and your spouse can add together:
o        Class A, and Class B shares you purchase for your individual accounts (including IRAs and 403(b) plans),
                  or for your joint accounts, or for trust or custodial accounts on behalf of your children who
                  are minors, and
o        Current purchases of Class A, Class B and Class N shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds to
                  reduce the sales charge rate that applies to current purchases of Class A shares, and
o        Class A, Class B and Class N shares of Oppenheimer funds you previously purchased subject to an initial
                  or contingent deferred sales charge to reduce the sales charge rate for current purchases of
                  Class A shares, provided that you still hold your investment in one of the Oppenheimer funds.

         A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a trust,  estate or other fiduciary account  (including one
or more employee  benefit plans of the same  employer) that has multiple  accounts.  The  Distributor  will add the
value,  at current  offering  price,  of the shares you  previously  purchased  and  currently  own to the value of
current  purchases to determine  the sales charge rate that  applies.  The reduced  sales charge will apply only to
current purchases. You must request it when you buy shares.

as the distributor or the sub-distributor and currently include the following:

1 "OSM" stands for Oppenheimer Select Managers

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

Letters of Intent.  Under a Letter of Intent,  if you purchase  Class A shares or Class A and Class B shares of the
Fund and other  Oppenheimer  funds during a 13-month  period,  you can reduce the sales charge rate that applies to
your  purchases of Class A shares.  The total amount of your intended  purchases of both Class A and Class B shares
will determine the reduced sales charge rate for the Class A shares purchased  during that period.  You can include
purchases made up to 90 days before the date of the Letter.

         A Letter of Intent is an investor's  statement in writing to the  Distributor of the intention to purchase
Class A shares or Class A and Class B shares of the Fund (and other  Oppenheimer  funds)  during a 13-month  period
(the "Letter of Intent period").  At the investor's  request,  this may include  purchases made up to 90 days prior
to the date of the Letter.  The Letter states the  investor's  intention to make the aggregate  amount of purchases
of shares which,  when added to the investor's  holdings of shares of those funds,  will equal or exceed the amount
specified  in the Letter.  Purchases  made by  reinvestment  of  dividends or  distributions  of capital  gains and
purchases made at net asset value without sales charge do not count toward satisfying the amount of the Letter.

         A Letter  enables  an  investor  to count  the Class A and Class B shares  purchased  under the  Letter to
obtain the reduced  sales  charge rate on  purchases  of Class A shares of the Fund (and other  Oppenheimer  funds)
that applies  under the Right of  Accumulation  to current  purchases of Class A shares.  Each  purchase of Class A
shares under the Letter will be made at the offering  price  (including  the sales charge) that applies to a single
lump-sum purchase of shares in the amount intended to be purchased under the Letter.

         In submitting a Letter,  the investor makes no commitment to purchase shares.  However,  if the investor's
purchases  of shares  within  the  Letter of Intent  period,  when  added to the value (at  offering  price) of the
investor's  holdings  of  shares on the last day of that  period,  do not equal or  exceed  the  intended  purchase
amount,  the investor  agrees to pay the  additional  amount of sales charge  applicable  to such  purchases.  That
amount is  described  in "Terms of  Escrow,"  below  (those  terms may be amended by the  Distributor  from time to
time).  The  investor  agrees  that shares  equal in value to 5% of the  intended  purchase  amount will be held in
escrow by the Transfer  Agent subject to the Terms of Escrow.  Also,  the investor  agrees to be bound by the terms
of the Prospectus,  this Statement of Additional  Information and the Application  used for a Letter of Intent.  If
those  terms are  amended,  as they may be from time to time by the Fund,  the  investor  agrees to be bound by the
amended terms and that those amendments will apply automatically to existing Letters of Intent.

         If the total  eligible  purchases  made  during  the  Letter of Intent  period do not equal or exceed  the
intended  purchase amount,  the concessions  previously paid to the dealer of record for the account and the amount
of sales charge retained by the  Distributor  will be adjusted to the rates  applicable to actual total  purchases.
If total eligible  purchases during the Letter of Intent period exceed the intended  purchase amount and exceed the
amount needed to qualify for the next sales charge rate  reduction set forth in the  Prospectus,  the sales charges
paid will be adjusted to the lower rate.  That  adjustment  will be made only if and when the dealer returns to the
Distributor  the excess of the amount of  concessions  allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of concessions
that apply to the actual amount of purchases.  The excess  concessions  returned to the Distributor will be used to
purchase  additional  shares for the  investor's  account at the net asset value per share in effect on the date of
such purchase, promptly after the Distributor's receipt thereof.

         The  Transfer  Agent  will not hold  shares  in  escrow  for  purchases  of  shares  of the Fund and other
Oppenheimer  funds by  OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plans under a Letter of Intent.  If the intended purchase
amount under a Letter of Intent entered into by an  OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plan is not purchased by the
plan  by the  end of the  Letter  of  Intent  period,  there  will  be no  adjustment  of  concessions  paid to the
broker-dealer or financial institution of record for accounts held in the name of that plan.

         In determining  the total amount of purchases made under a Letter,  shares  redeemed by the investor prior
to the  termination  of the Letter of Intent  period will be deducted.  It is the  responsibility  of the dealer of
record  and/or the  investor  to advise the  Distributor  about the Letter in placing any  purchase  orders for the
investor during the Letter of Intent period. All of such purchases must be made through the Distributor.

         |X| Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.

         1. Out of the initial  purchase (or subsequent  purchases if necessary) made pursuant to a Letter,  shares
of the Fund equal in value up to 5% of the  intended  purchase  amount  specified  in the  Letter  shall be held in
escrow by the Transfer Agent. For example,  if the intended purchase amount is $50,000,  the escrow shall be shares
valued in the amount of $2,500  (computed at the offering  price  adjusted for a $50,000  purchase).  Any dividends
and capital gains distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to the investor's account

         2. If the total  minimum  investment  specified  under the Letter is completed  within the  thirteen-month
Letter of Intent period, the escrowed shares will be promptly released to the investor

         3. If, at the end of the 13-month Letter of Intent period the total  purchases  pursuant to the Letter are
less than the intended  purchase  amount  specified in the Letter,  the investor must remit to the  Distributor  an
amount equal to the  difference  between the dollar amount of sales  charges  actually paid and the amount of sales
charges  which  would  have been paid if the total  amount  purchased  had been made at a single  time.  That sales
charge  adjustment  will apply to any shares  redeemed prior to the completion of the Letter.  If the difference in
sales charges is not paid within twenty days after a request from the  Distributor or the dealer,  the  Distributor
will,  within 60 days of the expiration of the Letter,  redeem the number of escrowed  shares  necessary to realize
such  difference in sales charges.  Full and fractional  shares  remaining  after such  redemption will be released
from  escrow.  If a request is received to redeem  escrowed  shares prior to the payment of such  additional  sales
charge, the sales charge will be withheld from the redemption proceeds.

         4. By signing the Letter,  the  investor  irrevocably  constitutes  and  appoints  the  Transfer  Agent as
attorney-in-fact to surrender for redemption any or all escrowed shares.

         5. The shares  eligible  for  purchase  under the Letter  (or the  holding of which may be counted  toward
completion of a Letter) include:
(a)      Class A shares  sold with a  front-end  sales  charge or subject to a Class A  contingent  deferred  sales
         charge,
(b)      Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds acquired subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, and
(c)      Class A or Class B  shares  acquired  by  exchange  of  either  (1)  Class A  shares  of one of the  other
         Oppenheimer  funds that were acquired subject to a Class A initial or contingent  deferred sales
         charge or (2) Class B shares of one of the other  Oppenheimer  funds that were acquired  subject
         to a contingent deferred sales charge.

         6.    Shares held in escrow  hereunder  will  automatically  be  exchanged  for shares of another  fund to
which an exchange is requested,  as described in the section of the  Prospectus  entitled "How to Exchange  Shares"
and the escrow will be transferred to that other fund.

Asset  Builder  Plans.  To establish an Asset Builder Plan to buy shares  directly  from a bank  account,  you must
enclose a check (the minimum is $25) for the initial  purchase  with your  application.  Shares  purchased by Asset
Builder  Plan  payments  from bank  accounts  are  subject to the  redemption  restrictions  for  recent  purchases
described in the  Prospectus.  Asset Builder Plans are available only if your bank is an ACH member.  Asset Builder
Plans may not be used to buy shares for OppenheimerFunds  employer-sponsored  qualified retirement accounts.  Asset
Builder  Plans also enable  shareholders  of  Oppenheimer  Cash  Reserves to use their account in that fund to make
monthly automatic purchases of shares of up to four other Oppenheimer funds.

         If you make automatic  payments from your bank account to purchase  shares of the Fund,  your bank account
will be debited  automatically.  Normally the debit will be made two business  days prior to the  investment  dates
you selected on your  application.  Neither the  Distributor,  the Transfer Agent nor the Fund shall be responsible
for any delays in purchasing shares that result from delays in ACH transmissions.

         Before you establish Asset Builder  payments,  you should obtain a prospectus of the selected fund(s) from
your  financial  advisor (or the  Distributor)  and  request an  application  from the  Distributor.  Complete  the
application  and return it. You may change the amount of your Asset  Builder  payment or your can  terminate  these
automatic  investments  at any time by writing to the  Transfer  Agent.  The Transfer  Agent  requires a reasonable
period  (approximately  10 days) after receipt of your  instructions to implement them. The Fund reserves the right
to amend, suspend, or discontinue offering Asset Builder plans at any time without prior notice.

Retirement  Plans.  Certain  types of  retirement  plans are entitled to purchase  shares of the Fund without sales
charge or at reduced sales charge rates,  as described in Appendix B to this  Statement of Additional  Information.
Certain special sales charge  arrangements  described in that Appendix apply to retirement  plans whose records are
maintained  on a daily  valuation  basis by Merrill  Lynch  Pierce  Fenner & Smith,  Inc.  ("Merrill  Lynch") or an
independent  record keeper that has a contract or special  arrangement  with Merrill Lynch. If on the date the plan
sponsor  signed the Merrill  Lynch record  keeping  service  agreement  the plan has less than $3 million in assets
(other than assets  invested in money market funds)  invested in applicable  investments,  then the retirement plan
may purchase only Class B shares of the  Oppenheimer  funds.  Any retirement  plans in that category that currently
invest in Class B shares of the Fund will have their  Class B shares  converted  to Class A shares of the Fund when
the plan's applicable investments reach $5 million.

Cancellation  of Purchase  Orders.  Cancellation  of purchase  orders for the Fund's  shares (for  example,  when a
purchase  check is  returned  to the Fund  unpaid)  causes a loss to be  incurred  when the net asset  value of the
Fund's shares on the  cancellation  date is less than on the purchase date. That loss is equal to the amount of the
decline in the net asset value per share  multiplied  by the number of shares in the purchase  order.  The investor
is responsible  for that loss. If the investor fails to compensate the Fund for the loss, the  Distributor  will do
so. The Fund may  reimburse  the  Distributor  for that amount by redeeming  shares from any account  registered in
that investor's name, or the Fund or the Distributor may seek other redress.

Classes of Shares.  Each class of shares of the Fund  represents an interest in the same  portfolio of  investments
of the Fund. However,  each class has different  shareholder  privileges and features.  The net income attributable
to Class B, Class C or Class N shares  and the  dividends  payable  on Class B,  Class C or Class N shares  will be
reduced by incremental  expenses borne solely by that class.  Those expenses include the asset-based  sales charges
to which Class B, Class C and Class N are subject.

         The  availability  of different  classes of shares  permits an investor to choose the method of purchasing
shares that is more  appropriate  for the investor.  That may depend on the amount of the  purchase,  the length of
time the investor  expects to hold  shares,  and other  relevant  circumstances.  Class A shares  normally are sold
subject to an initial  sales charge.  While Class B, Class C and Class N shares have no initial  sales charge,  the
purpose of the  deferred  sales charge and  asset-based  sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares is the
same as that of the initial sales charge on Class A shares - to compensate  the  Distributor  and brokers,  dealers
and  financial  institutions  that sell shares of the Fund. A salesperson  who is entitled to receive  compensation
from his or her firm for selling Fund shares may receive  different  levels of  compensation  for selling one class
of shares than another.

         The  Distributor  will not  accept any order in the  amount of  $500,000  or more for Class B shares or $1
million or more for Class C shares on behalf of a single  investor (not  including  dealer "street name" or omnibus
accounts).  That is because  generally it will be more advantageous for that investor to purchase Class A shares of
the Fund.

         |X| Class A Shares Subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. For purchases of Class A shares
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge as described in the Prospectus, no sales concessions will be paid
to the broker-dealer of record, as described in the Prospectus, on sales of Class A shares purchased with the
redemption proceeds of shares of another mutual fund offered as an investment option in a retirement plan in
which Oppenheimer funds are also offered as investment options under a special arrangement with the Distributor,
if the purchase occurs more than 30 days after the Oppenheimer funds are added as an investment option under that
plan. Additionally, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares by a retirement plan made with the
redemption proceeds of Class N shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than 18 months.

          |X| Class B  Conversion.  Under  current  interpretations  of  applicable  federal  income tax law by the
Internal  Revenue  Service,  the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after six years is not treated as a
taxable  event for the  shareholder.  If those laws or the IRS  interpretation  of those laws  should  change,  the
automatic  conversion  feature may be  suspended.  In that event,  no further  conversions  of Class B shares would
occur while that  suspension  remained  in effect.  Although  Class B shares  could then be  exchanged  for Class A
shares on the basis of relative net asset value of the two  classes,  without the  imposition  of a sales charge or
fee, such exchange could constitute a taxable event for the shareholder,  and absent such exchange,  Class B shares
might continue to be subject to the asset-based sales charge for longer than six years.

         |X|  Availability of Class N Shares.  In addition to the description of the types of retirement plans
which may purchase Class N shares contained in the prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:

o        to all rollover IRAs,

o        to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and Ascender retirement plans,
o        to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,
o        to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,
o        to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional Information) which

     have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor for that purpose,
o        to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the
     recordkeeper or the plan sponsor for which has entered into a special agreement with the Distributor,
o        to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of all such plans invested in the
     Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or more,
o        to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the purchase with the redemption
     proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds, and
o        to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that are identified in a special agreement
     between the broker-dealer or financial advisor and the Distributor for that purpose.

     The sales concession and the advance of the service fee, as described in the Prospectus, will not be paid to
dealers of record on sales of Class N shares on:
o        purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that pays for the
     purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds (other than
     rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the
     Oppenheimer funds),
o        purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that pays for the
     purchase with the redemption proceeds of  Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan
     for more than one year (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k)
     plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds), and
o        on purchases of Class N shares by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan made
     with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds.


         No sales  concessions  will be paid to the  broker-dealer  of record,  as described in the Prospectus,  on
sales of Class N shares  purchased  with the  redemption  proceeds of shares of another  mutual fund  offered as an
investment option in a retirement plan in which  Oppenheimer  funds are also offered as investment  options under a
special  arrangement  with the  Distributor,  if the purchase occurs more than 30 days after the Oppenheimer  funds
are added as an investment option under that plan.


         |X|  Allocation of Expenses.  The Fund pays expenses  related to its daily  operations,  such as custodian
fees,  Trustees'  fees,  transfer agency fees,  legal fees and auditing  costs.  Those expenses are paid out of the
Fund's assets and are not paid directly by  shareholders.  However,  those  expenses  reduce the net asset value of
shares, and therefore are indirectly borne by shareholders through their investment.

         The  methodology  for calculating  the net asset value,  dividends and  distributions  of the Fund's share
classes  recognizes two types of expenses.  General expenses that do not pertain  specifically to any one class are
allocated  pro rata to the shares of all classes.  The  allocation  is based on the  percentage of the Fund's total
assets that is represented by the assets of each class, and then equally to each  outstanding  share within a given
class.  Such general expenses  include  management fees,  legal,  bookkeeping and audit fees,  printing and mailing
costs of shareholder reports,  Prospectuses,  Statements of Additional  Information and other materials for current
shareholders,  fees to unaffiliated Trustees,  custodian expenses, share issuance costs,  organization and start-up
costs, interest, taxes and brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses, such as litigation costs.

         Other  expenses  that are  directly  attributable  to a  particular  class are  allocated  equally to each
outstanding  share  within that class.  Examples of such  expenses  include  distribution  and service plan (12b-1)
fees, transfer and shareholder  servicing agent fees and expenses,  and shareholder meeting expenses (to the extent
that such expenses pertain only to a specific class).

Determination  of Net Asset  Values Per Share.  The net asset  values per share of each class of shares of the Fund
are  determined  as of the close of business of The New York Stock  Exchange on each day that the Exchange is open.
Because the Fund's net asset  values will not be  calculated  on those days,  the Fund's net asset values per share
may be  significantly  affected on such days when  shareholders  may not  purchase or redeem  shares.  The Exchange
normally  closes at 4:00 P.M.,  New York time,  but may close earlier on some other days (for  example,  in case of
weather  emergencies or on days falling before a holiday).  The Exchange's most recent annual  announcement  (which
is subject to change) states that it will close on New Year's Day,  Presidents'  Day,  Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Good Friday,  Memorial Day,  Independence Day, Labor Day,  Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on
other days.

         Dealers  other than  Exchange  members  may  conduct  trading in certain  securities  on days on which the
Exchange is closed  (including  weekends and U.S.  holidays) or after 4:00 P.M. on a regular  business day. Because
the Fund's net asset  values will not be  calculated  on those days,  the Fund's net asset  values per share may be
significantly  affected on such days when  shareholders  may not purchase or redeem shares.  Additionally,  trading
on European and Asian stock exchanges and  over-the-counter  markets  normally is completed before the close of The
New York Stock Exchange.

         Changes in the values of  securities  traded on foreign  exchanges  or markets as a result of events  that
occur after the prices of those  securities are  determined,  but before the close of The New York Stock  Exchange,
will not be reflected  in the Fund's  calculation  of its net asset  values that day unless the Manager  determines
that the event is likely to effect a material change in the value of the security.  If such  determination is made,
the  Manager,  acting  through an internal  valuation  committee,  will  establish a valuation  for such  security,
subject to the approval, ratification and confirmation by the Board at its next ensuing meeting.

         |X| Securities  Valuation.  The Fund's Board of Trustees has  established  procedures for the valuation of
the Fund's securities. In general those procedures are as follows:

         Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on NASDAQ are valued as follows:
(1)      if last sale  information  is regularly  reported,  they are valued at the last reported sale price on the
         principal exchange on which they are traded or on NASDAQ, as applicable, on that day, or
(2)      if last sale  information is not available on a valuation  date, they are valued at the last reported sale
         price  preceding the  valuation  date if it is within the spread of the closing "bid" and "asked"
         prices on the valuation date or, if not,  at the closing "bid" price on the valuation date.
         Equity securities  traded on a foreign  securities  exchange  generally are valued in one of the following
ways:
(1)      at the last sale price available to the pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, or
(2)      at the last sale price  obtained by the  Manager  from the report of the  principal  exchange on which the
         security is traded at its last trading session on or immediately before the valuation date, or
(3)      at the mean  between  the "bid" and  "asked"  prices  obtained  from the  principal  exchange on which the
         security  is  traded  or, on the  basis of  reasonable  inquiry,  from two  market  makers in the
         security.

         Long-term debt  securities  having a remaining  maturity in excess of 60 days are valued based on the mean
between the "bid" and "asked"  prices  determined by a portfolio  pricing  service  approved by the Fund's Board of
Trustees or  obtained  by the Manager  from two active  market  makers in the  security on the basis of  reasonable
inquiry.
         The  following  securities  are valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked"  prices  determined  by a
pricing  service  approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers
in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:
(1)      debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when issued,
(2)      debt  instruments  that had a maturity of 397 days or less when  issued and have a  remaining  maturity of
         more than 60 days, and
(3)      non-money  market  debt  instruments  that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and which have a
         remaining maturity of 60 days or less.

         The  following  securities  are valued at cost,  adjusted for  amortization  of premiums and  accretion of
discounts:
(1)      money  market debt  securities  held by a non-money  market fund that had a maturity of less than 397 days
         when issued that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and
(2)      debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less.
         Securities (including restricted securities) not having readily-available market quotations
are valued at fair value  determined  under the Board's  procedures.  If the Manager is unable to locate two market
makers willing to give quotes,  a security may be priced at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices  provided
by a single active market maker (which in certain cases may be the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available).

         In the case of U.S.  government  securities,  mortgage-backed  securities,  corporate  bonds  and  foreign
government  securities,  when last sale  information  is not  generally  available,  the  Manager  may use  pricing
services  approved by the Board of Trustees.  The pricing  service may use "matrix"  comparisons  to the prices for
comparable  instruments on the basis of quality,  yield, and maturity.  Other special factors may be involved (such
as the tax-exempt  status of the interest paid by municipal  securities).  The Manager will monitor the accuracy of
the pricing  services.  That monitoring may include  comparing prices used for portfolio  valuation to actual sales
prices of selected securities.

         The closing prices in the London foreign  exchange  market on a particular  business day that are provided
to the Manager by a bank,  dealer or pricing  service  that the Manager has  determined  to be reliable are used to
value  foreign  currency,  including  forward  contracts,  and to  convert  to U.S.  dollars  securities  that  are
denominated in foreign currency.

         Puts,  calls,  and futures are valued at the last sale price on the  principal  exchange on which they are
traded or on NASDAQ,  as  applicable,  as determined by a pricing  service  approved by the Board of Trustees or by
the  Manager.  If there  were no sales  that day,  they  shall be valued  at the last sale  price on the  preceding
trading day if it is within the spread of the  closing  "bid" and "asked"  prices on the  principal  exchange or on
NASDAQ on the  valuation  date.  If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the  principal  exchange or on
NASDAQ on the valuation  date.  If the put,  call or future is not traded on an exchange or on NASDAQ,  it shall be
valued by the mean between  "bid" and "asked"  prices  obtained by the Manager from two active  market  makers.  In
certain cases that may be at the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available.

         When the Fund  writes an  option,  an amount  equal to the  premium  received  is  included  in the Fund's
Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset.  An equivalent  credit is included in the liability  section.  The
credit is adjusted  ("marked-to-market")  to reflect the current  market value of the option.  In  determining  the
Fund's gain on  investments,  if a call or put written by the Fund is exercised,  the proceeds are increased by the
premium received.  If a call or put written by the Fund expires,  the Fund has a gain in the amount of the premium.
If the Fund enters  into a closing  purchase  transaction,  it will have a gain or loss,  depending  on whether the
premium received was more or less than the cost of the closing  transaction.  If the Fund exercises a put it holds,
the amount the Fund receives on its sale of the  underlying  investment is reduced by the amount of premium paid by
the Fund.


How to Sell Shares

         The information below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming shares set forth in the
Prospectus.

Reinvestment  Privilege.  Within  six  months  of a  redemption,  a  shareholder  may  reinvest  all or part of the
redemption proceeds of:

         |_|  Class A shares  purchased  subject to an initial sales charge or Class A shares on which a contingent
              deferred sales charge was paid, or
         |_|  Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred sales charge when redeemed.


         The  reinvestment  may be made without sales charge only in Class A shares of the Fund or any of the other
Oppenheimer  funds into which shares of the Fund are  exchangeable as described in "How to Exchange  Shares" below.
Reinvestment  will be at the net asset value next  computed  after the Transfer  Agent  receives  the  reinvestment
order.  The  shareholder  must  ask the  Transfer  Agent  for that  privilege  at the  time of  reinvestment.  This
privilege  does not apply to Class C,  Class N or Class Y shares.  The Fund may amend,  suspend  or cease  offering
this  reinvestment  privilege at any time as to shares  redeemed  after the date of such  amendment,  suspension or
cessation.


         Any capital gain that was realized when the shares were  redeemed is taxable,  and  reinvestment  will not
alter any capital gains tax payable on that gain. If there has been a capital loss on the  redemption,  some or all
of the loss may not be tax deductible,  depending on the timing and amount of the reinvestment.  Under the Internal
Revenue Code, if the  redemption  proceeds of Fund shares on which a sales charge was paid are reinvested in shares
of the Fund or another of the Oppenheimer  funds within 90 days of payment of the sales charge,  the  shareholder's
basis in the shares of the Fund that were  redeemed  may not  include  the amount of the sales  charge  paid.  That
would reduce the loss or increase the gain recognized from the redemption.  However,  in that case the sales charge
would be added to the basis of the shares acquired by the reinvestment of the redemption proceeds.

Payments "In Kind." The Prospectus  states that payment for shares  tendered for  redemption is ordinarily  made in
cash.  However,  under  certain  circumstances,  the Board of Trustees of the Fund may  determine  that it would be
detrimental to the best interests of the remaining  shareholders of the Fund to make payment of a redemption  order
wholly  or  partly  in  cash.  In that  case,  the Fund may pay the  redemption  proceeds  in whole or in part by a
distribution "in kind" of liquid securities from the portfolio of the Fund, in lieu of cash.

         The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the  Investment  Company Act. Under that rule, the
Fund is  obligated  to redeem  shares  solely in cash up to the lesser of  $250,000  or 1% of the net assets of the
Fund during any 90-day period for any one  shareholder.  If shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming  shareholder
might incur  brokerage or other costs in selling the securities for cash.  The Fund will value  securities  used to
pay  redemptions  in kind using the same method the Fund uses to value its  portfolio  securities  described  above
under  "Determination  of Net Asset Values Per Share." That  valuation  will be made as of the time the  redemption
price is determined.

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board of Trustees has the right to cause the involuntary redemption of the
shares held in any account if the aggregate net asset value of those shares is less than $500 or such lesser
amount as the Board may fix. The Board will not cause the involuntary redemption of shares in an account if the
aggregate net asset value of such shares has fallen below the stated minimum solely as a result of market
fluctuations. If the Board exercises this right, it may also fix the requirements for any notice to be given to
the shareholders in question (not less than 30 days). The Board may alternatively set requirements for the
shareholder to increase the investment, or set other terms and conditions so that the shares would not be
involuntarily redeemed.

Transfers of Shares.  A transfer of shares to a different  registration  is not an event that  triggers the payment
of sales  charges.  Therefore,  shares are not subject to the payment of a contingent  deferred sales charge of any
class at the time of  transfer to the name of another  person or entity.  It does not matter  whether the  transfer
occurs by absolute assignment,  gift or bequest, as long as it does not involve,  directly or indirectly,  a public
sale of the shares.  When shares subject to a contingent  deferred sales charge are  transferred,  the  transferred
shares will remain  subject to the  contingent  deferred  sales charge.  It will be calculated as if the transferee
shareholder  had  acquired  the  transferred  shares in the same  manner  and at the same time as the  transferring
shareholder.

         If less than all shares  held in an account  are  transferred,  and some but not all shares in the account
would be subject to a  contingent  deferred  sales  charge if  redeemed  at the time of  transfer,  the  priorities
described  in the  Prospectus  under  "How to Buy  Shares"  for the  imposition  of the Class B, Class C or Class N
contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in determining the order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions From Retirement Plans.  Requests for distributions from  OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  IRAs,  403(b)(7)
custodial   plans,   401(k)   plans  or  pension  or   profit-sharing   plans  should  be  addressed  to  "Trustee,
OppenheimerFunds  Retirement  Plans," c/o the Transfer  Agent at its address  listed in "How To Sell Shares" in the
Prospectus or on the back cover of this Statement of Additional Information. The request must:
(1)      state the reason for the distribution;
(2)      state the owner's awareness of tax penalties if the distribution is premature; and
(3)      conform to the requirements of the plan and the Fund's other redemption requirements.

         Participants (other than self-employed  persons) in  OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  pension or profit-sharing
plans with shares of the Fund held in the name of the plan or its  fiduciary  may not directly  request  redemption
of their accounts. The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign the request.

         Distributions  from  pension  and profit  sharing  plans are  subject to  special  requirements  under the
Internal  Revenue Code and certain  documents  (available  from the Transfer Agent) must be completed and submitted
to the Transfer Agent before the  distribution  may be made.  Distributions  from  retirement  plans are subject to
withholding  requirements  under the Internal  Revenue Code, and IRS Form W-4P  (available from the Transfer Agent)
must be submitted to the Transfer Agent with the distribution  request, or the distribution may be delayed.  Unless
the shareholder has provided the Transfer Agent with a certified tax  identification  number,  the Internal Revenue
Code requires that tax be withheld from any distribution  even if the shareholder  elects not to have tax withheld.
The Fund, the Manager,  the Distributor,  and the Transfer Agent assume no  responsibility  to determine  whether a
distribution  satisfies the  conditions of applicable  tax laws and will not be  responsible  for any tax penalties
assessed in connection with a distribution.

Special  Arrangements  for  Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers.  The  Distributor is the Fund's agent to
repurchase  its  shares  from  authorized  dealers or brokers  on behalf of their  customers.  Shareholders  should
contact their broker or dealer to arrange this type of redemption.  The repurchase  price per share will be the net
asset value next computed after the Distributor  receives an order placed by the dealer or broker.  However, if the
Distributor  receives a repurchase  order from a dealer or broker after the close of The New York Stock Exchange on
a regular  business  day,  it will be  processed  at that day's net asset  value if the order was  received  by the
dealer or broker from its customers prior to the time the Exchange  closes.  Normally,  the Exchange closes at 4:00
P.M.,  but may do so earlier on some days.  Additionally,  the order must have been  transmitted to and received by
the Distributor prior to its close of business that day (normally 5:00 P.M.).

         Ordinarily,  for accounts  redeemed by a broker-dealer  under this procedure,  payment will be made within
three business days after the shares have been redeemed upon the Distributor's  receipt of the required  redemption
documents  in  proper  form.  The  signature(s)  of the  registered  owners  on the  redemption  documents  must be
guaranteed as described in the Prospectus.

Automatic  Withdrawal  and  Exchange  Plans.  Investors  owning  shares  of the Fund  valued  at $5,000 or more can
authorize  the  Transfer  Agent to redeem  shares  (having a value of at least  $50)  automatically  on a  monthly,
quarterly,  semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic  Withdrawal Plan. Shares will be redeemed three business
days prior to the date  requested by the  shareholder  for receipt of the payment.  Automatic  withdrawals of up to
$1,500 per month may be requested by telephone if payments are to be made by check payable to all  shareholders  of
record.  Payments  must also be sent to the address of record for the  account  and the address  must not have been
changed within the prior 30 days. Required minimum distributions from  OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  retirement plans
may not be arranged on this basis.

         Payments are normally made by check,  but  shareholders  having  AccountLink  privileges  (see "How To Buy
Shares") may arrange to have Automatic  Withdrawal Plan payments  transferred to the bank account designated on the
Account  Application  or by  signature-guaranteed  instructions  sent to the  Transfer  Agent.  Shares are normally
redeemed  pursuant to an Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan three  business days before the payment  transmittal  date you
select in the Account Application.  If a contingent deferred sales charge applies to the redemption,  the amount of
the check or payment will be reduced accordingly.

         The Fund cannot  guarantee  receipt of a payment on the date  requested.  The Fund  reserves  the right to
amend,  suspend or discontinue  offering these plans at any time without prior notice.  Because of the sales charge
assessed on Class A share  purchases,  shareholders  should not make  regular  additional  Class A share  purchases
while  participating  in an  Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan.  Class B,  Class C and Class N  shareholders  should  not
establish automatic  withdrawal plans,  because of the potential imposition of the contingent deferred sales charge
on such  withdrawals  (except where the Class B, Class C or Class N contingent  deferred  sales charge is waived as
described in Appendix B to this Statement of Additional Information).

         By  requesting  an  Automatic  Withdrawal  or  Exchange  Plan,  the  shareholder  agrees  to the terms and
conditions  that apply to such plans,  as stated below.  These  provisions  may be amended from time to time by the
Fund and/or the Distributor. When adopted, any amendments will automatically apply to existing Plans.

         |X| Automatic  Exchange Plans.  Shareholders can authorize the Transfer Agent to exchange a pre-determined
amount  of  shares  of the Fund for  shares  (of the same  class) of other  Oppenheimer  funds  automatically  on a
monthly,  quarterly,  semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic  Exchange Plan. The minimum amount that may be
exchanged to each other fund account is $25.  Instructions should be provided on the  OppenheimerFunds  application
or signature-guaranteed  instructions.  Exchanges made under these plans are subject to the restrictions that apply
to exchanges as set forth in "How to Exchange  Shares" in the  Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional
Information.

         |X| Automatic  Withdrawal  Plans.  Fund shares will be redeemed as necessary to meet withdrawal  payments.
Shares  acquired  without a sales charge will be redeemed  first.  Shares  acquired with  reinvested  dividends and
capital gains  distributions will be redeemed next,  followed by shares acquired with a sales charge, to the extent
necessary to make  withdrawal  payments.  Depending  upon the amount  withdrawn,  the  investor's  principal may be
depleted. Payments made under these plans should not be considered as a yield or income on your investment.

         The  Transfer  Agent  will  administer  the  investor's   Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan  as  agent  for  the
shareholder(s)  (the  "Planholder") who executed the Plan  authorization and application  submitted to the Transfer
Agent.  Neither the Fund nor the Transfer  Agent shall incur any liability to the  Planholder  for any action taken
or not taken by the Transfer  Agent in good faith to administer  the Plan.  Share  certificates  will not be issued
for shares of the Fund  purchased for and held under the Plan,  but the Transfer  Agent will credit all such shares
to the account of the  Planholder on the records of the Fund.  Any share  certificates  held by a Planholder may be
surrendered  unendorsed  to the Transfer  Agent with the Plan  application  so that the shares  represented  by the
certificate may be held under the Plan.

         For accounts subject to Automatic  Withdrawal Plans,  distributions of capital gains must be reinvested in
shares of the Fund,  which will be done at net asset value without a sales charge.  Dividends on shares held in the
account may be paid in cash or reinvested.

         Shares will be redeemed to make  withdrawal  payments at the net asset value per share  determined  on the
redemption  date.  Checks or AccountLink  payments  representing  the proceeds of Plan withdrawals will normally be
transmitted  three  business  days prior to the date  selected for receipt of the payment,  according to the choice
specified in writing by the Planholder. Receipt of payment on the date selected cannot be guaranteed.

         The amount and the interval of  disbursement  payments and the address to which checks are to be mailed or
AccountLink  payments  are to be sent may be changed  at any time by the  Planholder  by  writing  to the  Transfer
Agent.  The  Planholder  should allow at least two weeks' time after  mailing such  notification  for the requested
change to be put in effect.  The  Planholder  may, at any time,  instruct the Transfer  Agent by written  notice to
redeem all, or any part of, the shares held under the Plan. That notice must be in proper form in accordance  with the
requirements  of the  then-current  Prospectus of the Fund. In that case,  the Transfer  Agent will redeem the number
of shares  requested at the net asset value per share in effect and will mail a check for the proceeds to the Planholder.

         The Planholder may terminate a Plan at any time by writing to the Transfer  Agent.  The Fund may also give
directions  to the Transfer  Agent to  terminate a Plan.  The  Transfer  Agent will also  terminate a Plan upon its
receipt of evidence satisfactory to it that the Planholder has died or is legally  incapacitated.  Upon termination
of a Plan by the Transfer  Agent or the Fund,  shares that have not been  redeemed  will be held in  uncertificated
form in the name of the Planholder.  The account will continue as a  dividend-reinvestment,  uncertificated account
unless and until  proper  instructions  are received  from the  Planholder,  his or her  executor or  guardian,  or
another authorized person.

         To use shares held under the Plan as  collateral  for a debt,  the  Planholder  may request  issuance of a
portion of the shares in  certificated  form.  Upon written  request from the  Planholder,  the Transfer Agent will
determine the number of shares for which a  certificate  may be issued  without  causing the  withdrawal  checks to
stop. However, should such uncertificated shares become exhausted, Plan withdrawals will terminate.

         If the  Transfer  Agent ceases to act as transfer  agent for the Fund,  the  Planholder  will be deemed to
have appointed any successor transfer agent to act as agent in administering the Plan.

How to Exchange Shares


         As stated in the Prospectus, shares of a particular class of Oppenheimer funds having more than one
class of shares may be exchanged only for shares of the same class of other Oppenheimer funds.  Shares of
Oppenheimer funds that have a single class without a class designation are deemed "Class A" shares for this
purpose. You can obtain a current list showing which funds offer which classes by calling the Distributor at
1.800.CALL.OPP.

o        All of the Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class A, B and C shares except Oppenheimer Money Market
     Fund, Inc., Centennial Money Market Trust, Centennial Tax Exempt Trust, Centennial Government Trust,
     Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust, Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust, and Centennial America Fund,
     L.P., which only offer Class A shares.
o        Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves are generally available only by
     exchange from the same class of shares of other Oppenheimer funds or through OppenheimerFunds-sponsored
     401(k) plans.
o        Only certain Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class Y shares. Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset
     Fund may not be exchanged for shares of any other fund.
o        Only certain Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class N shares, which are only offered to retirement
     plans as described in the Prospectus. Class N shares can be exchanged only for Class N shares of other
     Oppenheimer funds.
o        Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund may be exchanged only for Class A shares of
     other Oppenheimer funds. They may not be acquired by exchange of shares of any class of any other
     Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
     acquired by exchange of Class M shares.
o        Class X shares of Limited Term New York Municipal Fund can be exchanged only for Class B shares of other
     Oppenheimer funds and no exchanges may be made to Class X shares.
o        Shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund may not be exchanged for shares of Oppenheimer Money
     Market Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Cash Reserves or Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund.  Only participants
     in certain retirement plans may purchase shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund, and only those
     participants may exchange shares of other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation
     Fund.
o        Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are not available by exchange of shares of
     Oppenheimer Money Market Fund or Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves. If any Class A shares of
     another Oppenheimer fund that are exchanged for Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are
     subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the other Oppenheimer fund at the time of
     exchange, the holding period for that Class A contingent deferred sales charge will carry over to the Class
     A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in the exchange. The Class A shares of
     Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in that exchange will be subject to the Class A Early
     Withdrawal Charge of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund if they are repurchased before the expiration of
     the holding period.
o        Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y Shares of Oppenheimer Select Managers Mercury Advisors S&P Index
     Fund and Oppenheimer Select Managers QM Active Balanced Fund are only available to retirement plans and are
     available only by exchange from the same class of shares of other Oppenheimer funds held by retirement plans.

         Class A shares of  Oppenheimer  funds may be  exchanged  at net asset value for shares of any money market
fund  offered  by the  Distributor.  Shares of any money  market  fund  purchased  without  a sales  charge  may be
exchanged for shares of  Oppenheimer  funds offered with a sales charge upon payment of the sales charge.  They may
also be used to purchase shares of Oppenheimer funds subject to an early withdrawal  charge or contingent  deferred
sales charge.

         Shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. purchased with the redemption proceeds of shares of other
mutual funds (other than funds managed by the Manager or its subsidiaries) redeemed within the 30 days prior to
that purchase may subsequently be exchanged for shares of other Oppenheimer funds without being subject to an
initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. To qualify for that privilege, the investor or the
investor's dealer must notify the Distributor of eligibility for this privilege at the time the shares of
Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. are purchased.  If requested, they must supply proof of entitlement to this
privilege.

         Shares of the Fund acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions from any of the other
Oppenheimer funds or from any unit investment trust for which reinvestment arrangements have been made with the
Distributor may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds.

         The Fund may amend,  suspend or  terminate  the  exchange  privilege  at any time.  Although  the Fund may
impose these changes at any time,  it will provide you with notice of those  changes  whenever it is required to do
so by  applicable  law. It may be required to provide 60 days notice prior to  materially  amending or  terminating
the exchange privilege.  That 60 day notice is not required in extraordinary circumstances.

         |X| How Exchanges  Affect  Contingent  Deferred  Sales  Charges.  No contingent  deferred  sales charge is
imposed on exchanges of shares of any class  purchased  subject to a contingent  deferred  sales  charge.  However,
when Class A shares  acquired by  exchange  of Class A shares of other  Oppenheimer  funds  purchased  subject to a
Class A contingent  deferred  sales charge are  redeemed  within 18 months of the end of the calendar  month of the
initial  purchase of the exchanged Class A shares,  the Class A contingent  deferred sales charge is imposed on the
redeemed  shares.  The Class B contingent  deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B shares  acquired by exchange
if they are  redeemed  within 6 years  of the  initial  purchase  of the  exchanged  Class B  shares.  The  Class C
contingent  deferred sales charge is imposed on Class C shares  acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 12
months of the initial  purchase of the exchanged  Class C shares.  With respect to Class N shares,  a 1% contingent
deferred  sales charge will be imposed if the  retirement  plan (not including IRAs and 403(b) plans) is terminated
or Class N shares of all  Oppenheimer  funds are terminated as an investment  option of the plan and Class N shares
are redeemed  within 18 months after the plan's first  purchase of Class N shares of any  Oppenheimer  fund or with
respect to an  individual  retirement  plan or 403(b)  plan,  Class N shares are  redeemed  within 18 months of the
plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund.

         When Class B or Class C shares are redeemed to effect an  exchange,  the  priorities  described in "How To
Buy Shares" in the  Prospectus  for the  imposition of the Class B or the Class C contingent  deferred sales charge
will be  followed  in  determining  the  order in  which  the  shares  are  exchanged.  Before  exchanging  shares,
shareholders  should take into account how the exchange may affect any contingent  deferred sales charge that might
be imposed in the subsequent redemption of remaining shares.

         Shareholders  owning  shares  of more than one  class  must  specify  which  class of shares  they wish to
exchange.

         |X| Limits on  Multiple  Exchange  Orders.  The Fund  reserves  the right to reject  telephone  or written
exchange  requests  submitted  in bulk by anyone on behalf of more than one account.  The Fund may accept  requests
for  exchanges  of up to 50 accounts  per day from  representatives  of  authorized  dealers  that qualify for this
privilege.

         |X| Telephone  Exchange  Requests.  When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another,
any special  account  feature such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan, will be switched to the
new fund  account  unless you tell the  Transfer  Agent not to do so.  However,  special  redemption  and  exchange
features  such as  Automatic  Exchange  Plans and  Automatic  Withdrawal  Plans cannot be switched to an account in
Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund.

         |X| Processing Exchange Requests. Shares to be exchanged are redeemed on the regular business day the
Transfer Agent receives an exchange request in proper form (the "Redemption Date").  Normally, shares of the fund
to be acquired are purchased on the Redemption Date, but such purchases may be delayed by either fund up to five
business days if it determines that it would be disadvantaged by an immediate transfer of the redemption
proceeds. The Fund reserves the right, in its discretion, to refuse any exchange request that may disadvantage
it. For example, if the receipt of multiple exchange requests from a dealer might require the disposition of
portfolio securities at a time or at a price that might be disadvantageous to the Fund, the Fund may refuse the
request. When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another, any special account feature such
as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Withdrawal Plan, will be switched to the new fund account unless you tell
the Transfer Agent not to do so.  However, special redemption and exchange features such as Automatic Exchange Plans
and Automatic Withdrawal Plans cannot be switched to an account in Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund.

         In  connection  with any  exchange  request,  the number of shares  exchanged  may be less than the number
requested if the exchange or the number  requested  would  include  shares  subject to a  restriction  cited in the
Prospectus or this Statement of Additional  Information,  or would include  shares  covered by a share  certificate
that is not tendered with the request.  In those cases, only the shares available for exchange without  restriction
will be exchanged.

         The different  Oppenheimer  funds available for exchange have different  investment  objectives,  policies
and risks. A shareholder  should assure that the fund selected is appropriate  for his or her investment and should
be aware of the tax  consequences  of an exchange.  For federal  income tax purposes,  an exchange  transaction  is
treated  as a  redemption  of shares of one fund and a purchase  of shares of  another.  "Reinvestment  Privilege,"
above,  discusses some of the tax consequences of reinvestment of redemption  proceeds in such cases. The Fund, the
Distributor,  and the Transfer  Agent are unable to provide  investment,  tax or legal advice to a  shareholder  in
connection with an exchange request or any other investment transaction.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

         Dividends and  Distributions.  The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and there can be no assurance as to the
payment of any dividends or the realization of any capital gains. The dividends and  distributions  paid by a class
of shares will vary from time to time depending on market  conditions,  the  composition  of the Fund's  portfolio,
and expenses  borne by the Fund or borne  separately by a class.  Dividends are  calculated in the same manner,  at
the same time,  and on the same day for each class of shares.  However,  dividends  on Class B, Class C and Class N
shares are  expected  to be lower than  dividends  on Class A and Class Y shares.  That is because of the effect of
the  asset-based  sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares.  Those  dividends will also differ in amount
as a consequence of any difference in the net asset values of the different classes of shares.

         Dividends,  distributions and proceeds of the redemption of Fund shares  represented by checks returned to
the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as  undeliverable  will be invested in shares of Oppenheimer  Money Market
Fund,  Inc.  Reinvestment  will be made as  promptly as  possible  after the return of such checks to the  Transfer
Agent,  to enable the  investor to earn a return on  otherwise  idle funds.  Unclaimed  accounts  may be subject to
state  escheatment  laws,  and the  Fund and the  Transfer  Agent  will  not be  liable  to  shareholders  or their
representatives for compliance with those laws in good faith.

Tax Status of the Fund's Dividends, Distributions and Redemptions of Shares.  The federal tax treatment of the
Fund's dividends and capital gains distributions is briefly highlighted in the Prospectus. The following is only
a summary of certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders.

         The tax discussion in the  Prospectus and this Statement of Additional  Information is based on tax law in
effect on the date of the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional  Information.  Those laws and regulations may
be changed by legislative,  judicial, or administrative action,  sometimes with retroactive effect. State and local
tax treatment of ordinary  income  dividends and capital gain  dividends from  regulated  investment  companies may
differ from the treatment under the Internal  Revenue Code described below.  Potential  purchasers of shares of the
Fund are urged to consult  their tax advisers  with specific  reference to their own tax  circumstances  as well as
the consequences of  federal, state and local tax rules affecting an investment in the Fund.

         |X|  Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company.  The Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated
investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  As a regulated
investment company, the Fund is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its net investment income
(that is, taxable interest, dividends, and other taxable ordinary income, net of expenses) and capital gain net
income (that is, the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that it
distributes to shareholders. That qualification enables the Fund to "pass through" its income and realized
capital gains to shareholders without having to pay tax on them. This avoids a "double tax" on that income and
capital gains, since shareholders normally will be taxed on the dividends and capital gains they receive from the
Fund (unless their Fund shares are held in a retirement account or the shareholder is otherwise exempt from tax).
The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests relating to qualification that the Fund might not
meet in a particular year. If it did not qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund would be treated for
tax purposes as an ordinary corporation and would receive no tax deduction for payments made to shareholders.

         To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must distribute at least 90% of its investment
company taxable income (in brief, net investment income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net
long-term capital loss) for the taxable year. The Fund must also satisfy certain other requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code, some of which are described below.  Distributions by the Fund made during the taxable year
or, under specified circumstances, within twelve months after the close of the taxable year, will be considered
distributions of income and gains for the taxable year and will therefore count toward satisfaction of the
above-mentioned requirement.

         To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income from
dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition
of stock or securities or foreign currencies (to the extent such currency gains are directly related to the
regulated investment company's principal business of investing in stock or securities) and certain other income.

         In addition to satisfying the requirements described above, the Fund must satisfy an asset
diversification test in order to qualify as a regulated investment company.  Under that test, at the close of
each quarter of the Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets must consist of cash and
cash items, U.S. government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and securities of
other issuers. As to each of those issuers, the Fund must not have invested more than 5% of the value of the
Fund's total assets in securities of each such issuer and the Fund must not hold more than 10% of the outstanding
voting securities of each such issuer. No more than 25% of the value of its total assets may be invested in the
securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. government securities and securities of other regulated investment
companies), or in two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same or similar trades
or businesses. For purposes of this test, obligations issued or guaranteed by certain agencies or
instrumentalities of the U.S. government are treated as U.S. government securities.

              |X| Excise Tax on Regulated  Investment  Companies.  Under the Internal  Revenue Code, by December 31
each year the Fund must distribute 98% of its taxable  investment  income earned from January 1 through December 31
of that year and 98% of its  capital  gains  realized  in the period  from  November  1 of the prior  year  through
October 31 of the current  year.  If it does not,  the Fund must pay an excise tax on the amounts not  distributed.
It is  presently  anticipated  that the Fund will meet those  requirements.  To meet this  requirement,  in certain
circumstances  the Fund might be required to liquidate  portfolio  investments to make sufficient  distributions to
avoid excise tax liability.  However,  the Board of Trustees and the Manager might  determine in a particular  year
that it would  be in the best  interests  of  shareholders  for the  Fund  not to make  such  distributions  at the
required levels and to pay the excise tax on the undistributed  amounts.  That would reduce the amount of income or
capital gains available for distribution to shareholders.

         |X|  Taxation of Fund Distributions.  The Fund anticipates distributing substantially all of its
investment company taxable income for each taxable year.  Those distributions will be taxable to shareholders as
ordinary income and treated as dividends for federal income tax purposes.

         Special  provisions of the Internal  Revenue Code govern the  eligibility of the Fund's  dividends for the
dividends-received  deduction for corporate  shareholders.  Long-term capital gains  distributions are not eligible
for the  deduction.  The amount of dividends  paid by the Fund that may qualify for the deduction is limited to the
aggregate  amount of qualifying  dividends that the Fund derives from portfolio  investments that the Fund has held
for a minimum  period,  usually  46 days.  A  corporate  shareholder  will not be  eligible  for the  deduction  on
dividends  paid on Fund  shares  held for 45 days or less.  To the extent the Fund's  dividends  are  derived  from
gross income from option  premiums,  interest  income or short-term  gains from the sale of securities or dividends
from foreign  corporations,  those dividends will not qualify for the deduction.  Since it is anticipated that most
of the Fund's income will be derived from  interest it receives on its  investments,  the Fund does not  anticipate
that its distributions will qualify for this deduction.

         The Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital gain for each taxable year.
The Fund currently intends to distribute any such amounts.  If net long term capital gains are distributed and
designated as a capital gain distribution, it will be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gain. It does
not matter how long the shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was recognized by the Fund
before the shareholder acquired his or her shares.

         If the Fund  elects to retain  its net  capital  gain,  the Fund will be  subject  to tax on it at the 35%
corporate  tax rate.  If the Fund elects to retain its net  capital  gain,  it is expected  that the Fund also will
elect  to have  shareholders  of  record  on the  last  day of its  taxable  year  treated  as if each  received  a
distribution  of their pro rata share of such gain. As a result,  each  shareholder  will be required to report his
or her pro rata share of such gain on their tax return as long-term  capital  gain,  will receive a refundable  tax
credit  for  his/her  pro rata  share of tax paid by the Fund on the  gain,  and will  increase  the tax  basis for
his/her shares by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less the tax credit.

         Investment  income that may be received by the Fund from sources within  foreign  countries may be subject
to foreign  taxes  withheld at the  source.  The United  States has entered  into tax  treaties  with many  foreign
countries which entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such income.

         Distributions by the Fund that do not constitute  ordinary income dividends or capital gain  distributions
will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the  shareholder's  tax basis in their  shares.  Any excess
will be treated as gain from the sale of those shares,  as discussed below.  Shareholders  will be advised annually
as to the U.S.  federal income tax  consequences of  distributions  made (or deemed made) during the year. If prior
distributions  made by the Fund must be  re-characterized  as a  non-taxable  return of  capital  at the end of the
fiscal  year as a result of the  effect of the  Fund's  investment  policies,  they will be  identified  as such in
notices sent to shareholders.

         Distributions  by the Fund will be  treated in the  manner  described  above  regardless  of  whether  the
distributions  are paid in cash or reinvested in additional  shares of the Fund (or of another fund).  Shareholders
receiving a  distribution  in the form of  additional  shares will be treated as  receiving  a  distribution  in an
amount equal to the fair market value of the shares received, determined as of the reinvestment date.

         The Fund will be required  in certain  cases to withhold  and remit to the U.S.  Treasury  31% of ordinary
income  dividends  and capital  gains  distributions  and the  proceeds of the  redemption  of shares,  paid to any
shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a correct,  certified taxpayer  identification number, (2) who is subject
to backup  withholding  for failure to report the receipt of interest or dividend income  properly,  or (3) who has
failed  to  certify  to the Fund  that the  shareholder  is not  subject  to backup  withholding  or is an  "exempt
recipient" (such as a corporation).

         |X|  Tax Effects of Redemptions of Shares.  If a shareholder  redeems all or a portion of his/her  shares,
the shareholder  will recognize a gain or loss on the redeemed shares in an amount equal to the difference  between
the proceeds of the redeemed  shares and the  shareholder's  adjusted tax basis in the shares.  All or a portion of
any loss recognized in that manner may be disallowed if the  shareholder  purchases other shares of the Fund within
30 days before or after the redemption.

         In  general,  any gain or loss  arising  from the  redemption  of shares  of the Fund  will be  considered
capital gain or loss,  if the shares were held as a capital  asset.  It will be  long-term  capital gain or loss if
the shares were held for more than one year.  However,  any capital  loss  arising  from the  redemption  of shares
held for six  months or less will be  treated as a  long-term  capital  loss to the extent of the amount of capital
gain dividends  received on those shares.  Special  holding  period rules under the Internal  Revenue Code apply in
this case to determine the holding  period of shares and there are limits on the  deductibility  of capital  losses
in any year.

         |X|  Foreign  Shareholders.  Taxation of a shareholder who under United States law is a nonresident  alien
individual,  foreign  trust or  estate,  foreign  corporation,  or  foreign  partnership  depends  on  whether  the
shareholder's  income from the Fund is  effectively  connected  with a U.S.  trade or  business  carried on by such
shareholder.

         If the income from the Fund is not  effectively  connected with a U.S.  trade or business  carried on by a
foreign  shareholder,  ordinary  income  dividends  paid to  such  foreign  shareholder  will  be  subject  to U.S.
withholding  tax.  The rate of the tax depends on a number of factors.  If the income from the Fund is  effectively
connected  with a U.S.  trade or business  carried on by a foreign  shareholder,  then ordinary  income  dividends,
capital  gain  dividends,  and any gains  realized  upon the sale of shares  of the Fund  will be  subject  to U.S.
federal income tax at the rates applicable to U.S. citizens or domestic corporations.

         In the case of a foreign  non-corporate  shareholder,  the Fund may be required to withhold  U.S.  federal
income tax at a rate of 31% on  distributions  that are  otherwise  exempt  from  withholding  tax (or taxable at a
reduced treaty rate) unless the shareholder furnishes the Fund with proper notification of their foreign status.

         The tax consequences to a foreign  shareholder  entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable tax treaty
may be different from those  described  herein.  Foreign  shareholders  are urged to consult their own tax advisers
with respect to the particular tax consequences to them of an investment in the Fund,  including the  applicability
of foreign taxes.

Dividend  Reinvestment  in Another  Fund.  Shareholders  of the Fund may elect to  reinvest  all  dividends  and/or
capital  gains  distributions  in shares of the same  class of any of the other  Oppenheimer  funds  listed  above.
Reinvestment  will be made  without  sales  charge  at the net  asset  value  per  share in  effect at the close of
business on the payable date of the dividend or  distribution.  To elect this option,  the shareholder  must notify
the Transfer Agent in writing and must have an existing  account in the fund selected for  reinvestment.  Otherwise
the shareholder  first must obtain a prospectus for that fund and an application  from the Distributor to establish
an account.  Dividends and/or  distributions from shares of certain other Oppenheimer funds (other than Oppenheimer
Cash Reserves) may be invested in shares of this Fund on the same basis.

Additional Information About the Fund

The Distributor.  The Fund's shares are sold through dealers,  brokers and other financial institutions that have a
sales  agreement  with  OppenheimerFunds  Distributor,  Inc., a  subsidiary  of the Manager that acts as the Fund's
Distributor.  The Distributor also distributes  shares of the other  Oppenheimer funds and is  sub-distributor  for
funds managed by a subsidiary of the Manager.

The Transfer Agent.  OppenheimerFunds  Services,  the Fund's  Transfer  Agent, is a division of the Manager.  It is
responsible for maintaining the Fund's  shareholder  registry and shareholder  accounting  records,  and for paying
dividends and distributions to shareholders.  It also handles shareholder  servicing and administrative  functions.
It serves as the Transfer  Agent for an annual per account  fee. It also acts as  shareholder  servicing  agent for
the other  Oppenheimer  funds.  Shareholders  should direct inquiries about their accounts to the Transfer Agent at
the address and toll-free numbers shown on the back cover.


The Custodian.  Citibank,  N.A. is the custodian of the Fund's assets.  The  custodian's  responsibilities  include
safeguarding  and controlling the Fund's  portfolio  securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and
from the Fund.  It will be the  practice of the Fund to deal with the  custodian  in a manner  uninfluenced  by any
banking  relationship  the  custodian may have with the Manager and its  affiliates.  The Fund's cash balances with
the custodian in excess of $100,000 are not protected by federal deposit  insurance.  Those  uninsured  balances at
times may be substantial.


Independent  Auditors.  KPMG LLP are the  independent  auditors  of the  Fund.  They  audit  the  Fund's  financial
statements  and perform  other related  audit  services.  They also act as auditors for certain other funds advised
by the Manager and its affiliates.

                          OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A shares1 of the Oppenheimer funds
or the contingent deferred sales charge that may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.2
That is because of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., (referred to in
this document as the "Distributor"), or by dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares to
certain classes of investors.

Not all waivers apply to all funds. For example, waivers relating to Retirement Plans do not apply to Oppenheimer
municipal funds, because shares of those funds are not available for purchase by or on behalf of retirement
plans. Other waivers apply only to shareholders of certain funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds, the term "Retirement Plan" refers to the following types of
plans:
(1)      plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,
(2)      non-qualified deferred compensation plans,
(3)      employee benefit plans3
(4)      Group Retirement Plans4
(5)      403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
(6)      Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or
                SIMPLE plans

The interpretation of these provisions as to the applicability of a special arrangement or waiver in a particular
case is in the sole discretion of the Distributor or the transfer agent (referred to in this document as the
"Transfer Agent") of the particular Oppenheimer fund. These waivers and special arrangements may be amended or
terminated at any time by a particular fund, the Distributor, and/or OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (referred to in this
document as the "Manager").

Waivers that apply at the time shares are redeemed must be requested by the shareholder and/or dealer in the
redemption request.

I.                      Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases

Purchases of Class A Shares of Oppenheimer Funds That Are Not Subject to Initial Sales Charge but May Be Subject
to the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (unless a waiver applies).

         There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds in the
cases listed below. However, these purchases may be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if
redeemed within 18 months of the end of the calendar month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus
(unless a waiver described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption). Additionally, on shares
purchased under these waivers that are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor
will pay the applicable concession described in the Prospectus under "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."5
This waiver provision applies to:
-        Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.
-        Purchases of Class A shares by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to purchase such shares at net asset
         value but subject to a contingent deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001.
-        Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the purchases are made:
(1)      through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment adviser that has made special arrangements with
              the Distributor for those purchases, or
(2)      by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified Retirement Plan if the administrator of that
              Plan has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.
      -           Purchases of Class A shares by  Retirement  Plans that have any of the  following  record-keeping
      arrangements:
(1)      The record keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") on a
              daily valuation basis for the Retirement Plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the
              record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more of its
              assets invested in (a) mutual funds, other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch
              Investment Management, L.P. ("MLIM"), that are made available under a Service Agreement between
              Merrill Lynch and the mutual fund's principal underwriter or distributor, and  (b) funds advised or
              managed by MLIM (the funds described in (a) and (b) are referred to as "Applicable Investments").
(2)      The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily valuation basis by a record keeper
              whose services are provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill
              Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch,
              the Plan must have $3 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market
              funds) invested in Applicable Investments.
(3)      The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service agreement with Merrill Lynch and on
              the date the plan sponsor signs that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as
              determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion
(4)      manager).
      -           Purchases  by a Retirement  Plan whose record  keeper had a  cost-allocation  agreement  with the
      Transfer Agent on or before March 1, 2001.

         benefit of such employee's spouse or minor children).
-        Dealers, brokers, banks or registered investment advisors that have entered into an agreement with the
         Distributor providing specifically for the use of shares of the Fund in particular investment products

         bank or advisor for the purchase or sale of Fund shares.
-        Investment advisors and financial planners who have entered into an agreement for this purpose with the

         purchases.
-        Clients of investment advisors or financial planners (that have entered into an agreement for this
         purpose with the Distributor) who buy shares for their own accounts may also purchase shares without

         financial planner on the books and records of the broker, agent or financial intermediary with which the
         Distributor has made such special arrangements . Each of these investors may be charged a fee by the
         broker, agent or financial intermediary for purchasing shares.
-        Directors, trustees, officers or full-time employees of OpCap Advisors or its affiliates, their
         relatives or any trust, pension, profit sharing or other benefit plan which beneficially owns shares for
         those persons.
-        Accounts for which Oppenheimer Capital (or its successor) is the investment advisor (the Distributor
         must be advised of this arrangement) and persons who are directors or trustees of the company or trust
         which is the beneficial owner of such accounts.
-        A unit investment trust that has entered into an appropriate agreement with the Distributor.
-        Dealers, brokers, banks, or registered investment advisers that have entered into an agreement with the
         Distributor to sell shares to defined contribution employee retirement plans for which the dealer,
         broker or investment adviser provides administration services.
-        Retirement Plans and deferred compensation plans and trusts used to fund those plans (including, for

         Code), in each case if those purchases are made through a broker, agent or other financial intermediary
         that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.
-        A TRAC-2000 401(k) plan (sponsored by the former Quest for Value Advisors) whose Class B or Class C
         shares of a Former Quest for Value Fund were exchanged for Class A shares of that Fund due to the
         termination of the Class B and Class C TRAC-2000 program on November 24, 1995.
-        A qualified Retirement Plan that had agreed with the former Quest for Value Advisors to purchase shares
         of any of the Former Quest for Value Funds at net asset value, with such shares to be held through
         DCXchange, a sub-transfer agency mutual fund clearinghouse, if that arrangement was consummated and
         share purchases commenced by December 31, 1996.

         any of its subsidiaries) on which an initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge was paid.
         This waiver also applies to shares purchased by exchange of shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund,
         Inc. that were purchased and paid for in this manner. This waiver must be requested when the purchase
         order is placed for shares of the Fund, and the Distributor may require evidence of qualification for

    Oppenheimer Quest Balanced Value Fund                  Oppenheimer Quest Global Value Fund, Inc.

Oppenheimer fund that are either:
      -           acquired by such  shareholder  pursuant to an exchange of shares of an Oppenheimer  fund that was
      one of the Former Quest for Value Funds, or
         -        purchased  by such  shareholder  by  exchange  of shares of  another  Oppenheimer  fund that were
acquired  pursuant  to the merger of any of the Former  Quest for Value Funds into that other  Oppenheimer  fund on

         - -  Reduced Class A Initial Sales Charge Rates for Certain Former Quest for Value Funds Shareholders.

Purchases by Groups and Associations.  The following table sets forth the initial sales charge rates for Class A
shares purchased by members of "Associations" formed for any purpose other than the purchase of securities. The
rates in the table apply if that Association purchased shares of any of the Former Quest for Value Funds or
received a proposal to purchase such shares from OCC Distributors prior to November 24, 1995.

------------------------------ ---------------------------- ---------------------------- ----------------------------

         For purchases by Associations having 50 or more eligible employees or members, there is no initial sales
charge on purchases of Class A shares, but those shares are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales
charge described in the applicable fund's Prospectus.

         Purchases made under this arrangement qualify for the lower of either the sales charge rate in the table
based on the number of members of an Association, or the sales charge rate that applies under the Right of
Accumulation described in the applicable fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Individuals
who qualify under this arrangement for reduced sales charge rates as members of Associations also may purchase
shares for their individual or custodial accounts at these reduced sales charge rates, upon request to the

B.  Class A, Class B and Class C Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Waivers.

         - -  Waivers for Redemptions of Shares Purchased Prior to March 6, 1995.  In the following cases, the

                  adjusted annually, and
                  -        liquidation of a  shareholder's  account if the aggregate net asset value of shares held

    V. Special Sales Charge Arrangements for Shareholders of Certain Oppenheimer Funds Who Were Shareholders of
                                   Connecticut Mutual Investment Accounts, Inc.

The initial and contingent deferred sale charge rates and waivers for Class A and Class B shares described in the
respective Prospectus (or this Appendix) of the following Oppenheimer funds (each is referred to as a "Fund" in
this section):
     Oppenheimer U. S. Government Trust,
     Oppenheimer Bond Fund,
     Oppenheimer Value Fund and
     Oppenheimer Disciplined Allocation Fund
are modified as described below for those Fund shareholders who were shareholders of the following funds
(referred to as the "Former Connecticut Mutual Funds") on March 1, 1996, when OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the
investment adviser to the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds:

Connecticut Mutual Liquid Account                             Connecticut Mutual Total Return Account
Connecticut Mutual Government Securities Account              CMIA LifeSpan Capital Appreciation Account
Connecticut Mutual Income Account                             CMIA LifeSpan Balanced Account
Connecticut Mutual Growth Account                             CMIA Diversified Income Account


A.  Prior Class A CDSC and Class A Sales Charge Waivers.

         -    Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Certain shareholders of a Fund and the other Former
Connecticut Mutual Funds are entitled to continue to make additional purchases of Class A shares at net asset
value without a Class A initial sales charge, but subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge that
was in effect prior to March 18, 1996 (the "prior Class A CDSC"). Under the prior Class A CDSC, if any of those
shares are redeemed within one year of purchase, they will be assessed a 1% contingent deferred sales charge on
an amount equal to the current market value or the original purchase price of the shares sold, whichever is
smaller (in such redemptions, any shares not subject to the prior Class A CDSC will be redeemed first).

         Those shareholders who are eligible for the prior Class A CDSC are:
(1)      persons whose purchases of Class A shares of a Fund and other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds were
                $500,000 prior to March 18, 1996, as a result of direct purchases or purchases pursuant to the
                Fund's policies on Combined Purchases or Rights of Accumulation, who still hold those shares in
                that Fund or other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and
(2)      persons whose intended purchases under a Statement of Intention entered into prior to March 18, 1996,
                with the former general distributor of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds to purchase shares
                valued at $500,000 or more over a 13-month period entitled those persons to purchase shares at
                net asset value without being subject to the Class A initial sales charge.

         Any of the Class A shares of a Fund and the other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds that were purchased at
net asset value prior to March 18, 1996, remain subject to the prior Class A CDSC, or if any additional shares
are purchased by those shareholders at net asset value pursuant to this arrangement they will be subject to the
prior Class A CDSC.

         -    Class A Sales Charge Waivers. Additional Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased without a sales
charge, by a person who was in one (or more) of the categories below and acquired Class A shares prior to March
18, 1996, and still holds Class A shares:
(1)      any purchaser, provided the total initial amount invested in the Fund or any one or more of the Former
                Connecticut Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or more, including investments made pursuant to the
                Combined Purchases, Statement of Intention and Rights of Accumulation features available at the
                time of the initial purchase and such investment is still held in one or more of the Former
                Connecticut Mutual Funds or a Fund into which such Fund merged;
(2)      any participant in a qualified plan, provided that the total initial amount invested by the plan in the
                Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or more;
(3)      Trustees of the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds and members of their
                immediate families;
(4)      employee benefit plans sponsored by Connecticut Mutual Financial Services, L.L.C. ("CMFS"), the prior
                distributor of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and its affiliated companies;
(5)      one or more members of a group of at least 1,000 persons (and persons who are retirees from such group)
                engaged in a common business, profession, civic or charitable endeavor or other activity, and the
                spouses and minor dependent children of such persons, pursuant to a marketing program between
                CMFS and such group; and
(6)      an institution acting as a fiduciary on behalf of an individual or individuals, if such institution was
                directly compensated by the individual(s) for recommending the purchase of the shares of the Fund
                or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, provided the institution had an
                agreement with CMFS.

              Purchases of Class A shares made pursuant to (1) and (2) above may be subject to the Class A CDSC
         of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds described above.

         Additionally, Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased without a sales charge by any holder of a
variable annuity contract issued in New York State by Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company through the
Panorama Separate Account which is beyond the applicable surrender charge period and which was used to fund a
qualified plan, if that holder exchanges the variable annuity contract proceeds to buy Class A shares of the
Fund.

B.  Class A and Class B Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Waivers.

In addition to the waivers set forth in the Prospectus and in this Appendix, above, the contingent deferred sales
charge will be waived for redemptions of Class A and Class B shares of a Fund and exchanges of Class A or Class B
shares of a Fund into Class A or Class B shares of a Former Connecticut Mutual Fund provided that the Class A or
Class B shares of the Fund to be redeemed or exchanged were (i) acquired prior to March 18, 1996 or (ii) were
acquired by exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Connecticut Mutual Fund. Additionally, the shares
of such Former Connecticut Mutual Fund must have been purchased prior to March 18, 1996:
(1)      by the estate of a deceased shareholder;
(2)      upon the disability of a shareholder, as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code;
(3)      for retirement distributions (or loans) to participants or beneficiaries from retirement plans qualified
                under Sections 401(a) or 403(b)(7)of the Code, or from IRAs, deferred compensation plans created
                under Section 457 of the Code, or other employee benefit plans;
(4)      as tax-free returns of excess contributions to such retirement or employee benefit plans;
(5)      in whole or in part, in connection with shares sold to any state, county, or city, or any
                instrumentality, department, authority, or agency thereof, that is prohibited by applicable
                investment laws from paying a sales charge or concession in connection with the purchase of
                shares of any registered investment management company;
(6)      in connection with the redemption of shares of the Fund due to a combination with another investment
                company by virtue of a merger, acquisition or similar reorganization transaction;
(7)      in connection with the Fund's right to involuntarily redeem or liquidate the Fund;
(8)      in connection with automatic redemptions of Class A shares and Class B shares in certain retirement plan
                accounts pursuant to an Automatic Withdrawal Plan but limited to no more than 12% of the original
                value annually; or
(9)      as involuntary redemptions of shares by operation of law, or under procedures set forth in the Fund's
                Declaration of Trust, or as adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Fund.

VI.                 Special Reduced Sales Charge for Former Shareholders of Advance America Funds, Inc.

Shareholders of Oppenheimer Municipal Bond Fund, Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust, Oppenheimer Strategic Income
Fund and Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund who acquired (and still hold) shares of those funds as a result of the
reorganization of series of Advance America Funds, Inc. into those Oppenheimer funds on October 18, 1991, and who
held shares of Advance America Funds, Inc. on March 30, 1990, may purchase Class A shares of those four
Oppenheimer funds at a maximum sales charge rate of 4.50%.

          VII. Sales Charge Waivers on Purchases of Class M Shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities
                                                       Fund

Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund (referred to as the "Fund" in this section) may sell Class M shares at
net asset value without any initial sales charge to the classes of investors listed below who, prior to March 11,

         preceding section or financial institutions that have entered into sales arrangements with those dealers

         qualifications,
-        dealers, brokers, or registered investment advisors that had entered into an agreement with the

--------
1 Mr. Murphy is not a Trustee of Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.
1 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund.
2 In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to
contingent deferred sales charges mean the Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to "redemptions" mean
"repurchases" of shares.
3 An "employee benefit plan" means any plan or arrangement, whether or not it is "qualified" under the Internal
Revenue Code, under which Class N shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other
administrator for the account of participants who are employees of a single employer or of affiliated employers.
These may include, for example, medical savings accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The fund
accounts must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or administrator purchasing the shares for the benefit
of participants in the plan.
4 The term "Group Retirement Plan" means any qualified or non-qualified retirement plan for employees of a
corporation or sole proprietorship, members and employees of a partnership or association or other organized
group of persons (the members of which may include other groups), if the group has made special arrangements with
the Distributor and all members of the group participating in (or who are eligible to participate in) the plan
purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial
institution designated by the group. Such plans include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b)
plans other than plans for public school employees. The term "Group Retirement Plan" also includes qualified
retirement plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer
fund or funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution that has made special
arrangements with the Distributor.

5 However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts of $1million or more (including any
right of accumulation) by a Retirement Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C
shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one year.

6 The distribution must be requested prior to Plan termination or the elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an
investment option under the Plan.
7 This provision does not apply to IRAs.
8 This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans.
9 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.

None.

Item 25.  Indemnification

Reference is made to the provisions of Article Seven of Registrant's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust
filed as Exhibit 23(a) to this Registration Statement, and incorporated herein by reference.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees,
officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a trustee, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 26. - Business and Other Connections of the Investment Adviser

(a)      OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is the investment adviser of the Registrant; it and certain subsidiaries and
