The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?  The Fund seeks a combination of
growth of capital and investment income.  The Fund's primary objective is
growth of capital.

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN?  To seek long term growth of net asset
value per share, the Fund normally invests 50% or more of its total assets in
common stocks that the portfolio manager believes are undervalued in the
marketplace, mainly the common stocks of U.S. issuers or companies with
significant U.S. operations.  The Fund also invests in other equity
securities, such as preferred stock and securities convertible into common
stock.  The Fund also buys corporate and government bonds, notes and other
debt securities for investment income and capital appreciation, which can
include non-investment grade securities.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests:
o     at least 25% of its total assets in equity securities, including common
      stocks and preferred stocks, and expects to have between 50% to 75% of
      its total assets invested in equities, and
o     at least 25% of its total assets in fixed-income senior securities.

      The Fund's investments in fixed-income securities include bonds,
debentures, notes, convertible securities and U.S. government 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, who is
employed by the Sub-Advisor, Oppenheimer Capital LLP, uses a "value" approach to
investing. The portfolio manager searches primarily for securities of
established companies believed to be undervalued in the marketplace, in
relation to factors such as a company's assets, earnings, growth potential
and cash flows.  This process and the inter-relationship of the factors used
may change over time and its implementation may vary in particular cases.
Currently, the selection process for equity securities includes the following
techniques:

o     A "bottom up" analytical approach using fundamental research to focus
         on particular issuers before considering industry trends, by
         evaluating each issuer's characteristics, financial results and
         management.
o     A search for securities of established companies believed to be
         undervalued and having a high return on capital, strong management
         committed to shareholder value, and positive cash flows.
o     Ongoing monitoring of issuers for fundamental changes in the company
         that might alter the portfolio manager's initial expectations about
         the security and might result in a decision to sell the security.

      The portfolio manager allocates the Fund's investments among equity and
debt securities after assessing the relative values of these different types
of investments under prevailing market conditions.  Within the parameters for
stock and bond investments described above, under normal market conditions
the Fund might hold stocks, bonds and money market instruments in different
proportions at different times.  The portfolio manager might increase the
relative emphasis of investments in bonds and other fixed-income securities,
instead of stocks, when he thinks that:
o     common stocks in general appear to be overvalued,
o     debt securities present capital growth and income opportunities
         relative to common stocks because of declining interest rates or
         improved issuer credit quality, or
o     it is desirable to maintain liquidity pending investment in equity
         securities to seek capital growth opportunities.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed for investors seeking
capital appreciation over the long term with the opportunity for some income.
Those investors should be willing to assume the risk of short-term share
price fluctuations that are typical for a fund emphasizing equity
investments.  Since the Fund's income level will fluctuate, it is not
designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. Because of
its primary focus on long-term growth, with income as a secondary goal, the
Fund may be appropriate for moderately aggressive investors and 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 in stocks
and bonds are subject to changes in their value from a number of factors,
described below.  There is also the risk that poor selection by the
Sub-Advisor will cause the Fund to underperform other funds having a similar
objective.  As an example, the portfolio manager's "value" approach to
investing could result in fewer Fund investments in stocks that become highly
valued by the marketplace during times of rapid market advances.  This could
cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives
but that employ a growth or non-value approach to investing.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCKS. Stocks fluctuate in price, and their short-term
volatility at times may be great. Because the Fund normally emphasizes
investments in common stocks and other equity securities, the value of the
Fund's portfolio will be affected by changes in the stock markets in which it
invests. Market risk will affect the Fund's net asset values 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. Because the Fund can buy both U.S. and foreign stocks it could be
affected by changes in domestic and foreign stock markets.

      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. The Fund invests primarily in securities of companies with a
medium- or larger-size capitalization. It also can invest in
small-capitalization companies, which may have more volatile stock prices
than larger companies, but does not anticipate investing a significant
portion of assets in these companies.

Industry Focus. At times the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its
      investments in a particular industry.  Stocks of issuers in a
      particular industry may be affected by changes in economic conditions,
      government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or
      other events that affect that industry more than others.  To the extent
      that the Fund is emphasizing investments in a particular industry, its
      share values may fluctuate in response to events affecting that
      industry.

INTEREST RATE RISK. The values of debt securities are subject to change when
prevailing interest rates change.  When interest rates fall, the value of
outstanding debt securities generally rise.  When interest rates rise, the
values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and these securities
may sell at a discount from their face value. The magnitude of these
fluctuations will often be greater for longer-term debt securities than
shorter-term debt securities.  The Fund's share prices can go up or down when
interest rates change because of the effect of the changes on the value of
the Fund's investments in debt securities. Also, if interest rates fall, the
Fund's investments in new securities at lower yields will reduce the Fund's
income.

CREDIT RISK.  Debt securities are subject to credit risk.  Credit risk is the
risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal
payments on the security as they become due. If the issuer fails to pay
interest, the Fund's income may be reduced and if the issuer fails to repay
principal, the value of that security and that of the Fund's shares may be
reduced. While the Fund's investments in U.S. government securities are
subject to little credit risk, the Fund's other investments in debt
securities, particularly high-yield lower-grade debt securities, are subject
to risks of default. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other
adverse news about an issue can reduce a security's market value.

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 its prices per share. 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, stock markets can be volatile, and the prices of the Fund's shares can
go up and down substantially. The Fund's income-oriented investments may help
cushion the Fund's total return from changes in stock prices, but
fixed-income securities have their own risks that can affect their values and
the income they pay. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is more
conservative than funds that invest only in growth stocks, but has greater
risks than investment-grade bond funds.

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 a broad-based market index. The after-tax
returns for the other classes of shares will vary.

      The after-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and are
calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income
tax rates in effect during the periods shown, and do not reflect the impact
of state or local taxes.  In certain cases, the figure representing "Return
After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" may be higher than the
other return figures for the same period.  A higher after-tax return may
result when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and translates into an
assumed tax deduction that benefits the shareholder. 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.

1 From 12/31/93


The Fund's average annual total returns include applicable sales charges: for
Class A, the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%; for Class B, the
contingent deferred sales charge: of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5 years); and for
Class C and Class N , the 1% contingent deferred sales charge for the 1-year
period. There is no sales charge for Class Y shares. Because Class B shares
convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, Class B "life-of-class"
performance does not include any contingent deferred sales charge and uses
Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account and assume that
all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in
additional shares. The performance of the Fund's Class A shares is compared
to the S&P 500(R)Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities. The index
performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction
costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund's investments vary from those in the
index.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund


      The following tables are provided to help you understand the fees and
expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. 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. The numbers below are based
on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.

Effective January 1, 2003, the Board set the Class A asset-based sales charge
to zero resulting in a 12b-1 fee of 0.25%. Prior to that date, the
asset-based sales charge was 0.10%. For the Fund's fiscal year ended October
31, 2004 the actual 12b-1 fee was ____% for Class A shares. The Board of
Trustees can set the rate of the asset-based sales charge on Class A shares
up to 0.25% of average annual net assets.

With consideration given to the actual management fees for each class of
shares, and the actual 12b-1 fees for Class A shares, above, the "Total
Annual Operating Expenses" were ____% for Class A shares, ____% for Class B
shares, ____% for Class C shares, ____% for Class N shares and ____% for
Class Y shares.

Expenses may vary in future years. "Other Expenses" include transfer agent
fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays.
The "Other Expenses in the table are based on, among other things, the fees
the fees that the Fund would have paid if the transfer agent had not waived a
portion of its fee under a voluntary to the Fund to limit these fess to 0.35%
of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. That undertaking
may be amended or withdrawn at any time. After the waiver, the actual "Other
Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" as percentages of average
daily net assets were ____% and ____% for Class N shares.  For the Fund's
fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, the transfer agent fees did not exceed
the expense limitation described above for the other classes of shares.


1.    A  contingent   deferred  sales  charge  may  apply  to  redemptions  of
   investments  of $1 million or more  ($500,000 for certain  retirement  plan
   accounts) of Class A shares. See "How to Buy Shares" for details.
2.    Applies to  redemptions  in first year after  purchase.  The  contingent
   deferred  sales  charge  gradually  declines  from  5% to 1% in  years  one
   through six and is eliminated after that.
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.

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 and Class N contingent  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  contingent
 deferred sales charges. There is no sales charge 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 shares 72 months after
 purchase.

About the Fund's Investments

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

      The Fund's investment manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., has engaged the
Sub-Advisor, OpCap Advisors, to select securities for the Fund's portfolio.
The Sub-Advisor 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 means the Fund does not hold a
substantial percentage of the stock of any one company and does not invest
too great a percentage of the Fund's assets in any one issuer.  Also, the
Fund does not concentrate 25% or more of its investments in any one industry.

      However, changes in the overall market prices of securities and the
income they pay 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.

Stock and Other Equity Investments. The Fund invests in equity securities for
      growth opportunities as well as secondarily for income from dividends.
      While the Fund does not limit its investments to issuers in a
      particular capitalization range, the portfolio manager currently
      focuses on securities of mid- and larger-size established companies.

      Although they are debt securities, the Sub-Advisor considers some
      convertible securities to be "equity equivalents" because of the
      conversion feature, and their credit rating must meet the Fund's credit
      criteria for debt securities described below under "Special Risks of
      Lower-Grade Securities," but the credit rating has less impact on the
      investment decision than in the case of other debt securities. Other
      convertible securities may behave more like other debt securities.

Debt Securities.  The Fund may invest in corporate bond obligations, as well
      as government obligations and mortgage-related securities described
      below.  Debt securities are selected primarily for their income
      possibilities and their relative emphasis in the portfolio may be
      greater when the stock market is volatile.  For example, when interest
      rates are falling, or when the credit quality of a particular issuer is
      improving, the portfolio manager might buy debt securities for their
      own appreciation possibilities.  The Fund has no limit on the range of
      maturities of the debt securities it can buy.

      The Fund can buy short-term debt securities for liquidity, for example,
      pending the purchase of new investments or to have cash to pay for
      redemptions of Fund shares. The Sub-Advisor does not rely solely on
      ratings by rating organizations in selecting debt securities, but also
      uses its own judgment to evaluate particular issues as well as business
      and economic factors affecting an issuer.

      The Fund's investments in debt securities, including convertible
      securities, can be above or below investment grade in quality.
      "Investment-grade" securities are those rated in the four highest
      rating categories by Moody's Investors Service or other rating
      organizations, or, if unrated, assigned a comparable rating by the
      Sub-Advisor.  A list of the ratings definitions of the principal
      ratings organizations is in Appendix A to the Statement of Additional
      Information.

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 investment
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 investment objective, the Fund can
also use the investment techniques and strategies described below.  The
Sub-Advisor might not always use all of them and is not required to use them
to achieve its objective. These techniques have certain risks, although some
are designed to help reduce overall investment or market risks.

U.S. Government Securities. The Fund can invest in U.S. government securities
      that are U.S. Treasury securities and securities issued or guaranteed
      by agencies or federally-chartered corporate entities referred to as
      "instrumentalities" of the U.S. government. They can include
      collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and other mortgage-related
      securities. U.S. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and
      credit of the U.S. government and are subject to little credit risk.

      Some securities issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities
      of the U.S. government have different levels of credit support from the
      U.S. government. Some are supported by the full faith and credit of the
      U.S. government, such as Government National Mortgage Association
      pass-through mortgage certificates (called "Ginnie Maes"). Some are
      supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury
      under certain circumstances, such as Federal National Mortgage
      Association bonds ("Fannie Maes"). Others are supported only by the
      credit of the entity that issued them, such as Federal Home Loan
      Mortgage Corporation obligations ("Freddie Macs"). Securities issued by
      agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government such as the
      Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage
      Association and the Federal Home Loan Banks are neither guaranteed or
      insured by the U.S. government, but generally are considered to have
      low credit risks.

Special Risks of Mortgage-Related Securities.  Investments in
      mortgage-related securities are subject to special risks of
      unanticipated prepayment. The risk is that when interest rates fall,
      borrowers under the mortgages that underlie a mortgage-related security
      the Fund owns will prepay their mortgages more quickly than expected,
      causing the issuer of the security to prepay the principal prior to the
      security's expected maturity. Securities subject to prepayment risk,
      including the CMOs and other mortgage-related securities that the Fund
      can buy, generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing
      interest rates fall, and have greater potential for loss when interest
      rates rise. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be
      difficult to predict and may increase the volatility of the price.
      Additionally, the Fund may buy mortgage-related securities at a
      premium. Accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the
      Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment represented by the
      premium the Fund paid.

      If interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments may occur at slower rates
      than expected, which could have the effect of lengthening the expected
      maturity of a short- or medium-term security. That could cause its
      value to fluctuate more widely in response to changes in interest
      rates. In turn, this could cause the value of the Fund's shares to
      fluctuate more.

Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities.  Because the Fund can invest as much
      as 25% of its total assets in securities below investment grade
      (commonly known as "junk bonds") to seek higher income, the Fund's
      credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only
      investment-grade bonds. Lower-grade debt securities may be subject to
      greater market fluctuations and greater risks of loss of income and
      principal than higher-grade debt securities.  Securities that are (or
      have fallen) below investment grade entail a greater risk that the
      issuers of such securities may not meet their debt obligations.
      However, by limiting its investments in non-investment-grade debt
      securities, the Fund may reduce the effect of some of these risks on
      its share prices and income.  Currently, the portfolio manager does not
      intend to buy these securities unless they offer relatively attractive
      opportunities for both income and capital appreciation.

Money Market Instruments. The Fund can also invest in "money market
      instruments." These include U.S. government securities and high-quality
      corporate debt securities having a remaining maturity of one year or
      less. They also include commercial paper, other short-term corporate
      debt obligations, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and
      repurchase agreements. They do not generate capital growth if held to
      maturity.

Foreign Investing.  The Fund can buy foreign securities that are listed on a
      domestic or foreign stock exchange, traded in domestic or foreign
      over-the-counter markets, or represented by American Depository
      Receipts.  The Fund may invest in developed markets as well as emerging
      markets, which have greater risks than developed markets, although the
      Fund currently does not intend to purchase securities issued by
      governments or companies in emerging markets.  The Fund will hold
      foreign currency only in connection with buying and selling foreign
      securities.

      While the Fund has no limits on the amounts it can invest in foreign
      securities, it normally does not expect to invest substantial amounts
      of its assets in foreign securities. Foreign securities may offer
      special investment opportunities, but 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 securities denominated
      in that foreign currency.  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. These risks could cause the
      prices of foreign securities to fall and could therefore depress the
      Fund's share prices.

"When-Issued" And "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions.  The Fund can purchase
      securities on a "when-issued" basis and may purchase or sell securities
      on a "delayed-delivery" basis. There is a risk that the value of the
      security might decline prior to the settlement date. The Fund will not
      commit more than 15% of its net assets under these transactions.
      Between the purchase and settlement no payment is made for the
      when-issued security and no interest accrues to the buyer from the
      investment.

Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its
      total assets in securities of small, unseasoned companies. These are
      companies that have been in continuous operation for less than three
      years, counting the operations of any predecessors. These securities
      may have limited liquidity, which means that the Fund could have
      difficulty selling them at an acceptable price when it wants to. Their
      prices may be very volatile, especially in the short term.

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. A restricted
      security is one that has a contractual restriction on its resale or
      which cannot be sold publicly until it is registered under the
      Securities Act of 1933. The Fund cannot invest more than 15% of its net
      assets in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted
      securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional
      purchasers may not be subject to that limit. The Manager and
      Sub-Advisor monitor holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis
      to determine whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate
      liquidity.

Portfolio Turnover.  A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as
      "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent
      short-term trading to try to achieve its objective. Portfolio turnover
      may increase brokerage costs the Fund pays (and may reduce
      performance). If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells its
      portfolio investments, it must generally pay those gains out to
      shareholders, increasing their taxable distributions. The Financial
      Highlights table at the end of this Prospectus shows the Fund's
      portfolio turnover rates during prior fiscal years.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments.  In times of adverse or unstable
      market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to
      100% of its assets in temporary investments that are inconsistent with
      the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally they would be
      short-term U.S. government securities and the types of money market
      instruments described above. The Fund can 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 defensively in these
      securities, it might not achieve its investment objective of growth of
      capital.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund has entered into a Securities Lending
      Agreement ("Securities Lending Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase. Under
      that agreement portfolio securities of the Fund may be loaned to
      brokers, dealers and other financial institutions.  The Securities
      Lending Agreement provides that loans must be adequately collateralized
      and may be made only in conformity with the Fund's Securities Lending
      Guidelines, adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees. The value of the
      securities loaned may not exceed 25% of the value of the Fund's net
      assets.


PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS.  The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in
semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to shareholders of the
Fund within 60 days after the close of the period for which such report is
being made.  The Fund also makes disclosures of the portfolio securities
holdings in Statement of Investments under Form N-Q, filed with the SEC no
later than 60 days after the close of the first and third fiscal quarters.
These additional quarterly filings are publicly available at the SEC.
Therefore, portfolio holdings of the Fund are made publicly available no
later than 60 days after the close of the Fund's fiscal quarter.

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


How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. The Manager supervises the Fund's investment program and handles
its day-to-day business.  The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the
policies established by the Board of Trustees, under an investment advisory
agreement that states the Manager's responsibilities.  The agreement sets the
fees paid by the Fund to the Manager and describes the expenses that the Fund
pays to conduct its business. The Manager became the Fund's investment
advisor on November 22, 1995.


      The Manager has operated as an investment advisor since January 1960.
The Manager and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than
$____ billion in assets as of January 31, 2004, including other Oppenheimer
funds with more than __ million shareholder accounts.  The Manager is located
at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New
York 10281-1008.

The Manager's Fees.  The Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual
      rate that declines as the Fund's assets grow: 0.80% of the first $1
      billion of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.76% of the next $2
      billion, 0.71% of the next $1 billion, 0.66% of the next $1 billion,
      0.60% of the next $1 billion, 0.55% of the next $1 billion, 0.50% of
      average annual net assets in excess of $7 billion. The Fund's
      management fee for its last fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 was
      ____% of average annual net assets for each class of shares.

The Sub-Advisor.  The Sub-Advisor is a Delaware limited liability company and
      is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Oppenheimer Capital LLC, a registered
      investment advisor. From the Fund's inception on April 30, 1980 until
      November 22, 1995, the Sub-Advisor (which was then named Quest for
      Value Advisors) served as the Fund's investment advisor. On November
      22, 1995, the Manager retained the Sub-Advisor to continue providing
      day-to-day portfolio management for the Fund. The Sub-Advisor has
      operated as an investment advisor to investment companies and other
      investors since its organization in 1980. As of January 31, 2004, the
      Sub-Advisor including Oppenheimer Capital LLC, advised accounts having
      assets in excess of $__ billion. The Sub-Advisor is located at 1345
      Avenue of the Americas, 49th Floor, New York, New York 10105-4800.


      The Manager, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Advisor an annual fee under the
      Sub-Advisory Agreement between the Manager and the Sub-Advisor. The fee
      is calculated as a percentage of the fee the Fund pays the Manager. The
      rate is 40% of the advisory fee collected by the Manager based on the
      net assets of the Fund as of November 22, 1995, and 30% of the fee
      collected by the Manager on assets in excess of that amount.

      The Sub-Advisor is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Capital LLC, which is
      wholly-owned by Allianz Dresdner Asset Management U.S. Equities LLC, a
      subsidiary of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. The
      general partner of Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. is
      Allianz-PacLife Partners LLP. Allianz AG has majority ownership of, and
      controls, Allianz Dresdner Asset Management of America L.P. and its
      subsidiaries, including Oppenheimer Capital LLC and the Sub-Advisor.

Portfolio Manager.  The portfolio manager of the Fund is Colin Glinsman, who
      is Chief Investment Officer of the Sub-Advisor.  He is the person
      primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's
      portfolio. Mr. Glinsman is Managing Director and Chief Investment
      Officer of Oppenheimer Capital, the immediate parent company of the
      Sub-Advisor. He has been the Fund's portfolio manager since December
      1992.


PENDING  LITIGATION.  Six law suits have been filed as putative derivative and
class actions against the Fund's investment Manager,  Distributor and Transfer
Agent,  some of the  Oppenheimer  funds  including  the Fund and  Directors or
Trustees of some of those funds,  excluding the Fund.  The  complaints  allege
that the Manager  charged  excessive  fees for  distribution  and other costs,
improperly  used  assets  of the  funds  in the  form  of  directed  brokerage
commissions  and 12b-1 fees to pay  brokers to  promote  sales of  Oppenheimer
funds,  and failed to properly  disclose  the use of fund assets to make those
payments  in  violation  of the  Investment  Company  Act and  the  Investment
Advisers Act of 1940. The complaints  further allege that by permitting and/or
participating in those actions,  the defendant  Directors or Trustees breached
their fiduciary duties to fund shareholders  under the Investment  Company Act
and at common law.  Those law suits were filed on August 31,  2004,  September
3, 2004,  September  14, 2004,  September 14, 2004,  September  21, 2004,  and
September  22,  2004,  respectively,  in the U.  S.  District  Court  for  the
Southern  District  of New  York.  By order  dated  October  27,  2004,  these
actions,  and future related actions,  were consolidated by the District Court
into a single  consolidates  proceeding  in  contemplation  of the filing of a
superceding  consolidated and amended  complaint.  The present complaints seek
unspecified  compensatory  and  punitive  damages,  rescission  of the  funds'
investment advisory  agreements,  an accounting of all fees paid, and an award
of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

      The Manager and the Distributor believe the claims asserted in these
law suits to be without merit, and intend to defend the suits vigorously. The
Manager and the Distributor do not believe that the pending actions are
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on their ability to
perform their respective investment advisory or distribution agreements with
the Fund.


ABOUT your account

How to 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. A broker or dealer may charge for that service.
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 1.800.225.5677 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.


WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT YOU MUST INVEST? In most cases, you can buy Fund
shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional
investments at any time with as little as $50. There are reduced minimums
available under the following special investment plans:
o     If you establish one of the many types of retirement plan accounts that
      OppenheimerFunds offers, more fully described below under "Special
      Investor Services," you can start your account with as little as $500.
o     By using an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Exchange Plan (details are
      in the Statement of Additional Information), or government allotment
      plan, you can make subsequent investments (after making the initial
      investment of $500) for as little as $50. For any type of account
      established under one of these plans prior to November 1, 2002, the
      minimum additional investment will remain $25.
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.


Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of
      shares as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange (the "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 for a class of shares on a "regular
      business day" is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's net
      assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of that class
      outstanding on that day.  To determine net asset values, the Fund
      assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.
      If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately
      reflect fair value for a security (in the Manager's judgment) or if a
      security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after
      the close of the exchange or market on which the security is
      principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that
      the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects the fair value.
      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.

      The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has
      delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations
      to the Manager's Valuation Committee.  Fair value determinations by the
      Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board
      at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are
      determined.  In determining whether current market prices are readily
      available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it
      receives in the ordinary course of its investment management
      responsibilities for significant events that it believes in good faith
      will affect the market prices of the securities of issuers held by the
      Fund.  Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for
      example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an
      exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets
      (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a
      natural disaster).

      If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by
      the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset
      values are calculated that day, a significant event occurs that the
      Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will
      cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing
      price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded,
      the Manager will use its best judgment to determine a fair value for
      that security.

      The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by
      volatility that occurs in U.S. markets on a trading day after the close
      of foreign securities markets.  The Manager's fair valuation procedures
      therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be
      "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

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 the 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 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, unless your dealer has made alternative
      arrangements with the Distributor. 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 for regular accounts or lesser amounts
      for certain retirement plans). The amount of that sales charge will
      vary depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates are
      listed in "How Can You Buy Class A Shares?" below.
Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you pay no sales charge at the
      time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge.
      If you sell your shares within 6 years of buying them, you will
      normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge. That contingent
      deferred sales charge varies depending on how long you own your shares,
      as described in "How Can You Buy Class B Shares?" below.
Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you pay no sales charge at the
      time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge.
      If you sell your shares within 12 months of buying them, you will
      normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described
      in "How Can You Buy Class C Shares?" below.
Class N Shares. If you buy Class N shares (available only through certain
      retirement plans), you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but
      you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your
      shares within 18 months of the retirement plan's first purchase of
      Class N shares, you may pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%,
      as described in "How Can You Buy Class N Shares?" below.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional
      investors that have a special agreement with the Distributor.

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 most likely invest in 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.


      If you invest $1 million or more, in most cases Class A shares will be
      the most advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold
      your shares. For that reason, the Distributor normally will not accept
      purchase orders of $100,000 or more of Class B shares or $1 million or
      more of Class C shares from a single investor. Dealers or other
      financial intermediaries purchasing shares for their customers in
      omnibus accounts are responsible for compliance with those limits.


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
      and 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 or Class Y shares, such as the
      Class B, Class C and Class N asset-based sales charge described below
      and in the Statement of Additional Information.

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.


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:

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Amount of Purchase  Front-End Sales     Front-End Sales    Concession As
                     Charge As a         Charge As a

SPECIAL SALES CHARGE ARRANGEMENTS AND WAIVERS. Appendix C 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 a special condition applies.

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges?  You and your spouse may be eligible to
buy Class A shares of the Fund at reduced sales charge rates set forth in the
table above under the Fund's "Right of Accumulation" or a "Letter of Intent."
The Fund reserves the right to modify or to cease offering these programs at
any time.
o     Right of Accumulation. To reduce the Class A front-end sales charge
         under the rates in the table above that apply to larger
         purchases, you can add to the amount of your current purchase
         the value of investments currently being made by you and your
         spouse (or previously made by you and your spouse and still
         held) in Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other
         Oppenheimer funds (a list is in the Statement of Additional
         Information under "How to Buy Shares - The Oppenheimer
         Funds"). You may not include Class A shares of Oppenheimer
         Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which
         you did not pay a sales charge for this purpose. In totaling
         your holdings, you may count shares held in your individual
         accounts (including IRAs and 403(b) plans), your joint
         accounts with your spouse, or accounts you or your spouse hold
         as trustees or custodians on behalf of your children who are
         minors. A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a
         trust, estate or other fiduciary account (including employee
         benefit plans for the same employer) that has multiple
         accounts. To qualify for this Right of Accumulation, if you
         are buying shares directly from the Fund you must inform the
         Fund's Distributor of your eligibility and holdings at the
         time of your purchase. If you are buying shares through your
         financial intermediary you must notify your intermediary of
         your eligibility for this Right of Accumulation at the time of
         your purchase.

               To count shares of eligible Oppenheimer funds held in
         accounts at other intermediaries under this Right of
         Accumulation, you may be requested to provide the Distributor
         or your current intermediary (depending on the way you are
         buying your shares) a copy of each account statement showing
         your current holdings of the Fund or other eligible
         Oppenheimer funds, including statements for accounts held by
         you and your spouse or in retirement plans or trust or
         custodial accounts for minor children as described above. The
         Distributor or intermediary through which you are buying
         shares will combine the value of all your eligible Oppenheimer
         fund accounts based on the current offering price per share to
         determine what Class A sales charge breakpoints you may
         qualify for on your current purchase.

o     Letters of Intent. You may also reduce the Class A front-end sales
         charge on current purchases of shares of the Fund under the
         rates in the table above by submitting a Letter of Intent to
         the Distributor. A Letter of Intent is a written statement of
         your intention to purchase Class A and/or Class B shares of
         the Fund (and other Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of
         Oppenheimer Money Market Fund and Oppenheimer Cash Reserves)
         over a 13-month period. The total amount of your intended
         purchases of Class A and Class B shares will determine the
         reduced sales charge rate that will apply to Class A shares of
         the Fund purchased during that period. You can include
         purchases made up to 90 days before the date of the Letter.
         Submitting a Letter of Intent does not obligate you to
         purchase the specified amount of shares.  You can also apply
         the Right of Accumulation to these purchases.

            If you do not complete the Letter of Intent, the front-end
         sales charge you paid on your purchases will be recalculated
         to reflect the actual value of shares you purchased.  A
         certain portion of your shares will be held in escrow by the
         Fund's Transfer Agent for this purpose. Please refer to "How
         to Buy Shares - Letters of Intent" in the Fund's Statement of
         Additional Information for more complete information.

Other Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers.  The Fund and the
Distributor offer other opportunities to purchase shares without
front-end or contingent deferred sales charges under the programs
described below. The Fund reserves the right to amend or discontinue
these programs at any time without prior notice.
o     Dividend Reinvestment.  Dividends and/or capital gains distributions
         received by a shareholder from the Fund may be reinvested in
         shares of the Fund or any of the other Oppenheimer funds
         without a sales charge, at the net asset value per share in
         effect on the payable date. You must notify the Transfer Agent
         in writing to elect this option and must have an existing
         account in the fund selected for reinvestment.
o     Exchanges of Shares.  Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of
         certain other Oppenheimer funds at net asset value per share
         at the time of exchange, without sales charge, and shares of
         the Fund can be purchased by exchange of shares of certain
         other Oppenheimer funds on the same basis. Please refer to
         "How to Exchange Shares" in this Prospectus and in the
         Statement of Additional Information for more details,
         including a discussion of circumstances in which sales charges
         may apply on exchanges.
o     Reinvestment Privilege.  Within six months of a redemption of certain
         Class A and Class B shares, the proceeds may be reinvested in
         Class A shares of the Fund without sales charge. This
         privilege applies to redemptions of Class A shares that were
         subject to an initial sales charge or Class A or Class B
         shares that were subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
         when redeemed. The investor must ask the Transfer Agent for
         that privilege at the time of reinvestment and must identify
         the account from which the redemption was made.
o     Other Special Reductions and Waivers. The Fund and the Distributor
         offer additional arrangements to reduce or eliminate front-end
         sales charges or to waive contingent deferred sales charges
         for certain types of transactions and for certain classes of
         investors (primarily retirement plans that purchase shares in
         special programs through the Distributor). These are described
         in greater detail in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional
         Information, which is also available on the OppenheimerFunds
         website, at www.oppenheimerfunds.com (under the hyperlinks
                     ------------------------
         "Access Accounts and Services - Investor Service Center"). To
         receive a waiver or special sales charge rate under these
         programs, the purchaser must notify the Distributor (or other
         financial intermediary through which shares are being
         purchased) at the time of purchase or notify the Transfer
         Agent with at the time of redeeming shares for those waivers
         that apply to contingent deferred sales charges.
Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans. There is no initial sales charge on
      purchases of Class A shares of the Fund by (1) retirement plans that
      have $10 million or more in plan assets and that have entered into a
      special agreement with the Distributor and by (2) retirement plans that
      are part of a retirement plan product or platform offered by banks,
      broker-dealers, financial advisors, insurance companies or
      record-keepers that have entered into a special agreement with the
      Distributor for this purpose. 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 described in "Retirement
      Plans" in the Statement of Additional Information. No contingent
      deferred sales charge is charged upon the redemption of such shares.
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 on purchases of Class A shares by certain
      retirement plans that satisfied certain requirements prior
      to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts").
      However, those Class A shares may be subject to a Class A
      contingent deferred sales charge, as described below.
      Retirement plans holding shares of Oppenheimer funds in an
      omnibus account(s) for the benefit of plan participants in
      the name of a fiduciary or financial intermediary (other
      than OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single DB Plus 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 purchases 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.

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 six 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:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years Since Beginning of Month in       Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on
Which Purchase Order was Accepted       Redemptions in That Year

         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.

            Class N shares are sold at net asset value without an initial
sales charge. 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, employee benefit plans
and Section 529 plans, among others. 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.


Distribution and Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a
      Distribution and Service Plan for Class A shares. The plan also
      provides for the Fund to pay an asset-based sales charge to the
      Distributor at an annual rate of 0.15% of average annual net assets of
      Class A shares the Fund (the Board of Trustees has set that rate at
      zero). The Fund pays a service fee to the Distributor of 0.25% of the
      average annual net assets of Class A shares. The Distributor currently
      uses all of the service fee 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.
      Prior to January 1, 2003, the Fund paid the Distributor an annual
      asset-based sales charge equal to 0.10% of average annual net assets
      representing Class A shares. The Distributor paid the entire
      asset-based sales charge to brokers.


      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. The Distributor
      retains the first year's service fee paid by the Fund. After the shares
      have been held by grandfathered retirement accounts 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 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 expenses 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 normally 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 currently pays a sales concession of 3.75% of the
      purchase price of Class B shares to dealers from its own resources at
      the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total
      amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of
      Class B shares is therefore 4.00% of the purchase price. The
      Distributor normally retains the Class B asset-based sales charge. 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.
      The Distributor normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class
      C shares during the first year after the purchase of Class C shares.
      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
      normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class N shares. See
      the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

      Under certain circumstances, the Distributor will pay the full Class B,
      Class C or Class N asset-based sales charge and the service fee to the
      dealer beginning in the first year after purchase of such shares in
      lieu of paying the dealer the sales concession and the advance of the
      first year's service fee at the time of purchase, if there is a special
      agreement between the dealer and the Distributor.  In those
      circumstances, the sales concession will not be paid to the dealer.

      For Class C shares purchased through the OppenheimerFunds Recordkeeper
      Pro program, the Distributor will pay the Class C asset-based sales
      charge to the dealer of record in the first year after the purchase of
      such shares in lieu of paying the dealer a sales concession at the time
      of purchase.  The Distributor will use the service fee it receives from
      the Fund on those shares to reimburse FASCorp for providing personal
      services to the Class C accounts holding those shares.

      In addition, the Manager and the Distributor may make substantial
      payments to dealers or other financial intermediaries and service
      providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities, out
      of their own resources, including the profits from the advisory fees
      the Manager receives from the Fund.  Some of these distribution-related
      payments may be made to dealers or financial intermediaries for
      marketing, promotional or related expenses; these payments are often
      referred to as "revenue sharing."  In some circumstances, those types
      of payments may create an incentive for a dealer or financial
      intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the
      Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers.  You should ask your
      dealer or financial intermediary for more details about any such
      payments it receives.

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, by wire 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 1.800.225.5677, 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.

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Wire. While the Fund normally sends your money
      by check, you can arrange to have the proceeds of shares you sell sent
      by Federal Funds wire to a bank account you designate. It must be a
      commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve wire system.
      The minimum redemption you can have sent by wire is $2,500. There is a
      $10 fee for each request. To find out how to set up this feature on
      your account or to arrange a wire, call the Transfer Agent at
      1.800.225.5677.


HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY MAIL? Write a letter of instruction 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.

Use the following address for            Send courier or express mail
requests by mail:                        requests to:
OppenheimerFunds Services                OppenheimerFunds Services
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 regular business day, your call must be
received by the Transfer Agent by the close of the 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-sponsored qualified retirement plan
account or under a share certificate by telephone.
   o  To redeem shares through a service representative or automatically on
      PhoneLink, call 1.800.225.5677.
      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 or by Wire. 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.

      If you have requested Federal Funds wire privileges for your account,
      the wire of the redemption proceeds will normally be transmitted on the
      next bank business day after the shares are redeemed. There is a
      possibility that the wire may be delayed up to seven days to enable the
      Fund to sell securities to pay the redemption proceeds. No dividends
      are accrued or paid on the proceeds of shares that have been redeemed
      and are awaiting transmittal by wire.

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 C 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 C 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

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 any 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 1.800.225.5677. 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 or by using PhoneLink for automated
      exchanges by calling  1.800.225.5677.  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   The interests of the Fund's shareholders and the Fund's ability to
      manage its investments may be adversely affected when its shares are
      repeatedly exchanged over the short term.  When large dollar amounts
      are involved, the Fund's implementation of its investment strategies
      may be negatively affected or the Fund might have to raise or retain
      more cash than the portfolio manager would normally retain, to meet
      unanticipated redemptions.  Frequent exchange activity also may force
      the Fund to sell portfolio securities at disadvantageous times to raise
      the cash needed to meet those exchange requests.  These factors might
      hurt the Fund's performance.
   The Board of Trustees has adopted a policy that beginning on or about
      ________, 2005, would allow shareholders to exchange (either their full
      or partial account balance) from one fund account to another fund
      account once in any 30-day calendar period.   When shares are exchanged
      into an account, that account would be "blocked" from allowing further
      exchanges for a period of 30 calendar days from the date of the
      exchange.  This block will apply to the full account balance and not
      just to the value of the amount exchanged into that account.  For
      example, if a shareholder exchanged $1,000 from one fund into an
      account in another fund where the shareholder already owned shares
      worth $10,000, then following the exchange the full $11,000 in the
      account that the shares exchanged into would be blocked from exchange
      for a period of 30 calendar days.
o     A shareholder would be permitted to exchange shares from a stock or
      bond fund into a money market fund at anytime, even if the shareholder
      had exchanged shares into the stock or bond fund in the prior 30 days.
      However, all of the shares of the money market fund would then be
      blocked from further exchange for 30 calendar days from the date of the
      exchange into the money market fund.
o     Shareholders would be permitted to redeem their shares at any time
      subject to the terms of this prospectus.
o     This policy would not apply to (a) accounts held in omnibus accounts in
      the name of a broker-dealer or other financial institution, or (b)
      omnibus accounts held in the name of a retirement plan trustee or
      administrator, or (c) accounts held in the name of an insurance company
      for its separate account(s), or (d) other accounts having multiple
      underlying owners but registered in a manner such that the underlying
      beneficial owners are not identified to the transfer agent. However,
      the Transfer Agent will monitor overall purchase and redemption
      activity in those accounts to seek to identify patterns of excess
      activity that may suggest excessive purchase, redemption or exchange
      activity at the underlying owner level (for example, monitoring for
      annualized purchases and redemptions exceeding a percentage of the
      assets held in the account). The intermediary or administrator will be
      notified and asked to review account activity, and to confirm to the
      transfer agent and the fund that appropriate action has been taken to
      curtail the activity.
o     The reinvestment of dividends or distributions from one fund into
      shares of another fund and/or the conversion of Class B shares into
      Class A shares will not be counted as an exchange for purposes of
      imposing the 30 day limit.
   o  When the Transfer Agent in its discretion believes frequent
      trading activity by any person, group or account would have a
      disruptive effect on the Fund's ability to manage its
      investments, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may reject purchase
      orders and/or exchanges into the Fund.  This is true even if the
      exchange activity has not exceeded the exchange policy outlined
      above.  The history of frequent trading activity in all accounts
      known by the Transfer Agent to be under common ownership or
      control within the OppenheimerFunds complex may be considered by
      the Transfer Agent, with respect to the review of frequent
      trading involving this Fund as part of the Transfer Agent's
      procedures to detect and deter excessive exchange activity.
   o  There is no guarantee that the limitations described above will
      be sufficient to identify or curtail excessive trading activity.
      Additionally, there is no guarantee that the Transfer Agent will
      be able to detect frequent exchange activity conducted by the
      underlying owners of shares held in omnibus accounts, and
      therefore might not be able to effectively prevent frequent
      exchange activity in those accounts.  There is no guarantee that
      the Transfer Agent's controls and procedures will be successful
      to identify investors who engage in excessive trading activity or
      to curtail that activity.
o     The Fund permits dealers or financial intermediaries to submit exchange
      requests on behalf of their customers (unless the customer has revoked
      that authority).  The Manager, the Distributor and/or the Transfer
      Agent have agreements with a limited number of broker-dealers and
      investment advisers permitting them to submit exchange orders in bulk
      on behalf of their clients, provided that those broker-dealers or
      advisers follow the exchange policy as stated above and agree to
      certain additional restrictions on their exchange activity (which are
      more stringent than the restrictions that apply to other
      shareholders).  Those restrictions include limitations on the funds
      available for exchanges, the requirement to give advance notice of
      exchanges to the Transfer Agent, and limits on the amount of client
      assets that may be invested in a particular fund.  The Fund and its
      Transfer Agent may restrict or refuse bulk exchange requests submitted
      by a financial intermediary on behalf of a large number of accounts
      (including pursuant to the arrangements described above) if, in the
      Transfer Agent's judgment exercised in its discretion, those exchanges
      would be disruptive to either fund in the exchange transaction.
o     Shares are redeemed from one fund and are normally purchased from the
      other fund in the same transaction on the same regular business day on
      which the Transfer Agent or its agent (such as a financial intermediary
      holding the investor's shares in an omnibus account) 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.  The
      Transfer Agent may delay the reinvestment of the proceeds of an
      exchange up to seven days if it determines in its discretion that an
      earlier transmittal of the redemption proceeds to the receiving fund
      would be detrimental to the Fund from which the exchange is made or to
      the receiving fund.
   o  The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
      time. The Fund may refuse any purchase and/or exchange order and is
      currently not obligated to provide notice before rejecting such an
      order. The Fund reserves the right to reject telephone or written
      exchange requests submitted in bulk by anyone on behalf of more than
      one account.
   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.
A $12 annual "Minimum Balance Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a
      value of less than $500. The fee is automatically deducted from each
      applicable Fund account annually on or about the second to last
      "regular business day" of September.  See the Statement of Additional
      Information (shareholders may visit the OppenheimerFunds website) to
      learn how you can avoid this fee and for circumstances under which this
      fee will not be assessed.

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 or by Federal Funds wire (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 processing any type of redemption payment as
      described under "How to Sell Shares" 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.
Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the
      account value has fallen below $500 for reasons other than the fact
      that the market value of shares has dropped. In some cases involuntary
      redemptions may be made to repay the Distributor for losses from the
      cancellation of share purchase orders.
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. If the Fund redeems your shares in kind, you may
      bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such time as
      such securities are converted into cash.
Federal regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of
      birth (for a natural person), your residential street address or
      principal place of business and your Social Security Number, Employer
      Identification Number or other government issued identification when
      you open an account. Additional information may be required in certain
      circumstances or to open corporate accounts.  The Fund or the Transfer
      Agent may use this information to attempt to verify your identity.  The
      Fund may not be able to establish an account if the necessary
      information is not received.  The Fund may also place limits on account
      transactions while it is in the process of attempting to verify your
      identity.  Additionally, if the Fund is unable to verify your identity
      after your account is established, the Fund may be required to redeem
      your shares and close your account.
"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 1.800.225.5677. 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  on an  annual  basis  and to pay them to
shareholders  in  December  on a date  selected  by  the  Board  of  Trustees.
Dividends and distributions  paid to 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 shares.  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.

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.


      The Fund intends each year to qualify as a "regulated investment
company" under the Internal Revenue Code, but reserves the right not to
qualify. It qualified during its last fiscal year. The Fund, as a regulated
investment company, will not be subject to Federal income taxes on any of its
income, provided that it satisfies certain income, diversification and
distribution requirements.


Avoid "Buying a Distribution." If you buy shares on or just before the
      ex-dividend date or just before the Fund declares a capital gains
      distribution, you will pay the full price for the shares and then
      receive a portion of the price back as a taxable dividend or capital
      gain.
Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions.  Because the Fund's share
      prices fluctuate, you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or
      exchange your shares. A capital gain or loss is the difference between
      the price you paid for the shares and the price you 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.

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?  The Fund seeks growth of capital.

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN?  The Fund can invest in a variety of equity and debt
securities.  The Fund normally invests mainly in common stocks of U.S. issuers that the
portfolio manager believes are undervalued in the marketplace.  The Fund can invest in
common stocks and other equity securities, including debt securities convertible into
common stock, without limit. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 50%
of its total assets in common stock and debt securities convertible into common stock.  The
Fund's 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 uses a "value" approach to
investing.  The portfolio manager searches for securities of companies believed to be
undervalued in the marketplace, in relation to factors such as a company's assets,
earnings, growth potential and cash flows. This process and the inter-relationship of the
factors used may change over time and its implementation may vary in particular cases.
Currently, the selection process includes the following techniques:
   o  A "bottom up" analytical approach using fundamental research to focus on particular
      issuers before considering industry trends, evaluating each issuer's characteristics,
      financial results and management.
   o  A search for securities of companies believed to be undervalued in the marketplace
      and having a high return on capital, strong management committed to shareholder
      value, and positive cash flows.
o     Ongoing monitoring of issuers for fundamental changes in the company that might alter
      the portfolio manager's initial expectations about the security and might result in
      the sale of the security.

      The portfolio manager allocates the Fund's investments among equity and debt
securities after assessing the relative values of these different types of investments
under prevailing market conditions. The portfolio might hold stocks, bonds and money market
instruments in different proportions at different times. While stocks and other equity
securities are normally emphasized to seek growth, the portfolio manager might buy bonds
and other fixed-income securities, instead of stocks, when he thinks that:
o     common stocks in general appear to be overvalued,
o     debt securities offer meaningful capital growth opportunities relative to common
      stocks, or
o     it is desirable to maintain liquidity pending investment in equity securities to seek
      capital growth opportunities.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR?  The Fund is designed for investors seeking capital
appreciation over the long term. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of
short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund focusing on stock
investments. Since the Fund does not seek current income as part of its objective, and its
income level from investments will likely be small, 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 in stocks and bonds are
subject to changes in their value from a number of factors, as described below.   There is
also the risk that poor security selection by the Manager will cause the Fund to
underperform other funds having a similar objective.  As an example, the portfolio
manager's "value" approach to investing could result in fewer Fund investments in stocks
that become highly valued by the marketplace during times of rapid market advances.  This
could cause the Fund to underperform other funds that seek capital appreciation but that
employ a growth or non-value approach to investing.


RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCKS. Stocks fluctuate in price, and their short-term volatility at
times may be great. Because the Fund normally focuses its investments in equity securities,
the value of the Fund's portfolio will be affected by changes in the stock markets in which
it invests. Market risk will affect the Fund's net asset values 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. The Fund invests mainly in securities of
companies with medium and large capitalizations. It can also buy securities of
small-capitalization companies, which may have more volatile stock prices than large
companies, but does not anticipate investing a significant portion of its assets in these
companies.

Industry Focus. At times the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in
      a particular industry. Stocks of issuers in a particular industry may be affected by
      changes in economic conditions, or by changes in government regulations, availability
      of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry more than
      others. To the extent that the Fund increases the emphasis of its investments in a
      particular industry, its share values may fluctuate in response to events affecting
      that industry.

INTEREST RATE RISK.  The values of debt securities are subject to change when prevailing
interest rates change.  When interest rates fall, the value of outstanding debt securities
generally rise.  When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities
generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face value. The
magnitude of these fluctuations will often be greater for longer-term debt securities than
shorter-term debt securities.  The Fund's share prices can go up or down when interest
rates change because of the effect of the changes on the value of the Fund's investments in
debt securities. Also, if interest rates fall, the Fund's investment in new securities at
lower yields will reduce the Fund's income.

CREDIT RISK.  Debt securities are subject to credit risk.  Credit risk is the risk that the
issuer of a security might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they
become due. If the issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income may be reduced and if
the issuer fails to repay principal, the value of that security and that of the Fund's
shares may be reduced. While the Fund's investments in U.S. government securities are
subject to little credit risk, the Fund's other investments in debt securities are subject
to risks of default.  A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news about
an issuer can reduce a security's market value.

HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL? The risks described above collectively form the risk profile
of the Fund, and can affect the value of the Fund's investments, its investment performance
and its prices per share. 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 stock markets
can be volatile, and the prices of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially.  The
Fund's income-oriented investments may help cushion the Fund's total return from changes in
stock prices, but fixed-income securities have their own risks and normally are not the
primary emphasis of the Fund. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is more
conservative than aggressive growth stock funds, but has greater risk than investment-grade
bond funds.

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 a broad-based market index. The
after-tax returns for the other classes of shares will vary.

      The after-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and are calculated using the
historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect during the
periods shown, and do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes.  In certain cases,
the figure representing "Return After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" may
be higher than the other return figures for the same period.  A higher after-tax return may
result when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and translates into an assumed tax
deduction that benefits the shareholder. 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.

The Fund's average annual total returns include applicable sales charges: for Class A, the
current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%; for Class B, the contingent deferred sales
charge: of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5 years); and for Class C and Class N , the 1% contingent
deferred sales charge for the 1-year period. There is no sales charge for Class Y shares.
Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, Class B
"life-of-class" performance does not include any contingent deferred sales charge and uses
Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account and assume that all dividends
and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The performance
of the Fund's Class A shares is compared to the S&P 500(R)Index, an unmanaged index of
equity securities. The index performance includes reinvestment of income but does not
reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund's investments vary from those
in the index.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund


      The following tables are provided to help you understand the fees and expenses you
may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. 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. The numbers below are
based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.

Effective  January  1,  2003,  the Board set the Class A  asset-based  sales  charge to zero
resulting in a 12b-1 fee of 0.25%.  Prior to January 1, 2003, the  asset-based  sales charge
was 0.10% (as to Class A shares  purchased on and after  September 1, 1993) and 0.15% (as to
Class A shares  purchased  prior to September 1, 1993),  in each case on average  annual net
assets  representing  Class A shares of the Fund.  For the Fund's  fiscal year ended October
31, 2004 the actual  12b-1 fee was ____% for Class A shares.  The Board of Trustees  can set
the rate of the  asset-based  sales  charge on Class A shares up to 0.25% of average  annual
net assets.

With  consideration  given to the actual  management fees for each class of shares,  and the
actual 12b-1 fees for Class A shares,  above,  the "Total Annual  Operating  Expenses"  were
____%  for Class A shares,  ____%  for Class B shares,  ____% for Class C shares,  ____% for
Class N shares and ____% for Class Y shares.

Expenses may vary in future years.  "Other Expenses" include transfer agent fees,  custodial
fees, and  accounting  and legal  expenses that the Fund pays.  The "Other  Expenses" in the
table 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 these fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes.  That
undertaking  may be amended or withdrawn at any time.  After the waiver,  the actual  "Other
Expenses" and "Total Annual  Operating  Expenses" as percentages of average daily net assets
were  ____%  and  ____%  for  Class N  shares  and  ____%  and  ____%  for  Class Y  shares,
respectively.  For the Fund's  fiscal year ended October 31, 2004,  the transfer  agent fees
did not exceed the expense limitation described above for the other classes of shares.


1.    A contingent  deferred  sales charge may apply to  redemptions  of  investments  of $1
   million or more ($500,000 for certain  retirement  plan accounts) of Class A shares.  See
   "How to Buy Shares" for details.
2.    Applies to redemptions  in first year after  purchase.  The contingent  deferred sales
   charge gradually  declines from 5% to 1% in years one through six and is eliminated after
   that.
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.

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 and Class N contingent  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  contingent  deferred  sales  charges.  There is no sales charge on
 Class Y shares.

 shares automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase.

About the Fund's Investments

THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among the
different types of investments will vary over time based upon the 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 issuer. Also, the
Fund does not concentrate 25% or more of its assets in investments in any one industry.

      However, changes in the overall market prices of securities and the income they pay
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.

Stock and Other Equity Investments. The Fund invests mainly in a diversified portfolio of
      common stocks and other equity securities of  domestic issuers of medium or large
      size, to seek capital appreciation. Equity securities include common stocks,
      preferred stocks, warrants and debt securities convertible into common stock. The
      Fund can invest in securities issued by domestic or foreign companies of any size.

      Although convertible securities are debt securities, in some cases convertible
      securities can be considered "equity equivalents" because of the conversion feature.
      Their rating must meet the Fund's credit criteria for debt securities, described
      below under "Debt Securities," but the credit rating has less impact on the
      investment decision than in the case of other debt securities.

Debt Securities. The Fund can also invest in debt securities, such as U.S. government
      securities and mortgage-backed securities, as more fully described below, and
      domestic and foreign corporate bonds, notes and debentures.  The Fund will make these
      investments when the portfolio manager believes they present opportunities for
      seeking the Fund's objective of growth of capital, as discussed above. The Fund can
      also buy short-term high-quality debt securities for liquidity pending the purchase
      of new investments or to have cash to pay for redemptions of Fund shares.


      The corporate debt securities the Fund buys must be "investment grade." That means
      that they must either be rated at least "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service or "BBB"
      by Standard & Poor's Rating Service or have comparable ratings by other
      nationally-recognized rating organizations.  If they are unrated corporate debt
      securities, the Manager must judge that they are comparable to rated investment-grade
      securities.


   o U.S. Government Securities. The Fund can invest in U.S. government securities that are
      U.S. Treasury securities and securities issued or guaranteed by agencies or
      federally-chartered corporate entities referred to as "instrumentalities" of the U.S.
      government.  They can include collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and other
      mortgage-related securities. U.S. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith
      and credit of the U.S. government and are subject to little credit risk.

      Some securities issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S.
      government have different levels of credit support from the U.S. government. Some are
      supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as government
      National Mortgage Association pass-through mortgage certificates (called "Ginnie
      Maes"). Some are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S.
      Treasury under certain circumstances, such as Federal National Mortgage Association
      bonds ("Fannie Maes"). Others are supported only by the credit of the entity that
      issued them, such as Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation obligations ("Freddie
      Macs"). Securities issued by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S. government
      such as the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage
      Association and the Federal Home Loan Banks are neither guaranteed or insured by the
      U.S. government, but generally are considered to have low credit risks.

   o Mortgage-Related Securities.  Investments in mortgage-related securities are subject
      to special risks of unanticipated prepayment. The risk is that when interest rates
      fall, borrowers under the mortgages that underlie a mortgage-related security the
      Fund owns will prepay their mortgages more quickly than expected, causing the issuer
      of the security to prepay the principal to the Fund prior to the security's expected
      maturity. Securities subject to prepayment risk, including the CMOs and other
      mortgage-related securities that the Fund can buy, generally offer less potential for
      gains when prevailing interest rates fall, and have greater potential for loss when
      interest rates rise. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be
      difficult to predict and may increase the volatility of the price. Additionally, the
      Fund may buy mortgage-related securities at a premium. Accelerated prepayments on
      those securities could cause the Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment
      represented by the premium the Fund paid.

      If interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments may occur at slower rates than expected,
      which could have the effect of lengthening the expected maturity of a short- or
      medium-term security. That could cause its value to fluctuate more widely in response
      to changes in interest rates. In turn, this could cause the value of the Fund's
      shares to fluctuate more.

   o Money Market Instruments. The Fund can also invest in "money market instruments."
      These include U.S. government securities and high-quality corporate debt securities
      having a remaining maturity of one year or less. They also include commercial paper,
      other short-term corporate debt obligations, certificates of deposit, bankers'
      acceptances and repurchase agreements. They do not generate capital growth if held to
      maturity.

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 investment 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 investment objective, the Fund can also use the
investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not always use all of
them and is not required to use them to achieve its objective. These techniques have
certain risks, although some are designed to help reduce overall investment or market risks.

Foreign Investing.  While the Fund has no limits on the amounts it can invest in foreign
      securities, it normally does not expect to invest a substantial portion of its assets
      in foreign securities. The Fund can buy foreign securities that are listed on a
      domestic or foreign stock exchange, traded in domestic or foreign over-the-counter
      markets, or represented by American Depository Receipts. While the Fund can invest in
      emerging markets, which have greater risks than developed markets, the Fund currently
      does not intend to purchase securities issued by governments or companies in emerging
      markets. The Fund will hold foreign currency only in connection with buying and
      selling foreign securities.

   o  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
      securities denominated in that foreign currency.  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.


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 substantial 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.

Hedging. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts, put and call options, and forward
      contracts. These are all referred to as "hedging instruments."  Underlying
      investments for these hedging instruments included securities, securities indices and
      currencies.  The Fund is not required to use hedging instruments to seek its
      objective. The Fund does not use hedging instruments for speculative purposes, and
      has limits on its use of them.

      Some of these strategies would hedge the Fund's portfolio against price
      fluctuations.  Other hedging strategies, shuc 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 strategy could 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 or if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market for
      the future or option.



"When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions.  The Fund can purchase securities on a
      "when-issued" basis and can purchase or sell securities on a "delayed-delivery"
      basis. There is a risk that the value of the security might decline prior to the
      settlement date. The Fund will not commit more than 15% of its net assets under these
      transactions. Between the purchase and settlement, no payment is made for the
      security, and no interest accrues to the buyer from the investment. There is a risk
      of loss to the Fund if the value of the when-issued security declines prior to the
      settlement date.

Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its total assets
      in securities of small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in
      continuous operation for less than three years, counting the operations of any
      predecessors. These securities may have limited liquidity, which means that the Fund
      could have difficulty selling them at an acceptable price when it wants to. Their
      prices may be very volatile, especially in the short term.


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. A restricted security has a contractual restriction
      on its resale or cannot be sold publicly until it is registered under the Securities
      Act of 1933. The Fund cannot invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid or
      restricted securities.  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.


Portfolio Turnover.  A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio
      turnover." The Fund does not expect to engage frequently in short-term trading to try
      to achieve its objective.  Portfolio turnover may affect brokerage costs the Fund
      pays (and may reduce performance). If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells
      its portfolio investments, it must generally pay those gains out to shareholders,
      increasing their taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of
      this Prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during prior fiscal years.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments.  In times of adverse or unstable market,
      economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in
      temporary investments that are inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment
      strategies. Generally they would be short-term U.S. government securities and the
      types of money market instruments described above. The Fund can 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 defensively in these securities, it might not achieve its investment
      objective of growth of capital.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund has entered into a Securities Lending Agreement
      ("Securities Lending Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase. Under that agreement portfolio
      securities of the Fund may be loaned to brokers, dealers and other financial
      institutions.  The Securities Lending Agreement provides that loans must be
      adequately collateralized and may be made only in conformity with the Fund's
      Securities Lending Guidelines, adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees. The value of
      the securities loaned may not exceed 25% of the value of the Fund's net assets.


PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS.  The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual
reports that are distributed to shareholders of the Fund within 60 days after the close of
the period for which such report is being made.  The Fund also makes disclosures of the
portfolio securities holdings in Statement of Investments under Form N-Q, filed with the
SEC no later than 60 days after the close of the first and third fiscal quarters. These
additional quarterly filings are publicly available at the SEC.   Therefore, portfolio
holdings of the Fund are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the close of
the Fund's fiscal quarter.

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


How the Fund Is Managed

THE MANAGER. The Manager supervises the Fund's investment program and handles its
day-to-day business.  The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the policies
established by the Board of Trustees, under an investment advisory agreement that states
the Manager's responsibilities.  The agreement sets the fees paid by the Fund to the
Manager and describes the expenses that the Fund pays to conduct its business. The Manager
became the Fund's investment advisor on November 22, 1995.


      The Manager has operated as an investment advisor since January 1960.  The Manager
and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than $___ billion in assets as
of December 31, 2004, including other Oppenheimer funds with more than __ million
shareholder accounts.  The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty
Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

The Manager's Fees.  The Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate that
      declines as the Fund's assets grow: 0.85% of the first $1 billion of average annual
      net assets of the Fund, 0.80% of the next $500 million, 0.75% of the next $500
      million, 0.70% of the next $500 million, 0.65% of the next $500 million, 0.60% of the
      next $500 million, 0.55% of the next $500 million and 0.50% of average annual net
      assets in excess of $4 billion. The Fund's management fee for its last fiscal year
      ended October 31, 2004 was ____% of average annual net assets for each class of
      shares.

Portfolio Manager.  As of January 1, 2005, the portfolio manager of the Fund is Emmanuel
      Ferreira. As of that date, he is the person primarily responsible for the day-to-day
      management of the Fund's portfolio. Mr. Ferreria has been a Vice President of the
      Manager since January 2003. Prior to joining the Manager in January 2003, Mr.
      Ferreira was a portfolio manager at Lashire Investments (1999-2003), and a senior
      analyst at Mark Asset Management (1997-1999).

PENDING LITIGATION. Six law suits have been filed as putative derivative and class actions
against the Fund's investment Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent, some of the
Oppenheimer funds, including the Fund and Directors or Trustees of some of those funds,
excluding those of the Fund. The complaints allege that the Manager charged excessive fees
for distribution and other costs, improperly used assets of the funds in the form of
directed brokerage commissions and 12b-1 fees to pay brokers to promote sales of
Oppenheimer funds, and failed to properly disclose the use of fund assets to make those
payments in violation of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act of
1940. The complaints further allege that by permitting and/or participating in those
actions, the defendant Directors or Trustees breached their fiduciary duties to fund
shareholders under the Investment Company Act and at common law. Those law suits were filed
on August 31, 2004, September 3, 2004, September 14, 2004, September 14, 2004, September
21, 2004, and September 22, 2004, respectively, in the U. S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York. By order dated October 27, 2004, these actions, and future
related actions, were consolidated by the District Court into a single consolidated
proceeding in contemplation of the filing of a superceding consolidated and amended
complaint. The present complaints seek unspecified compensatory and punitive damages,
rescission of the funds' investment advisory agreements, an accounting of all fees paid,
and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

The Manager and the Distributor believe the claims asserted in these law suits to be
without merit, and intend to defend the suits vigorously. The Manager and the Distributor
do not believe that the pending actions are likely to have a material adverse effect on the
Fund or on their ability to perform their respective investment advisory or distribution
agreements with the Fund.


ABOUT your account

How to 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. A broker or dealer may
      charge for that service.
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 1.800.225.5677 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.


WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT YOU MUST INVEST? In most cases, you can buy Fund shares with a
minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional investments at any time with as
little as $50. There are reduced minimums available under the following special investment
plans:
o     If you establish one of the many types of retirement plan accounts that
      OppenheimerFunds offers, more fully described below under "Special Investor
      Services," you can start your account with as little as $500.
o     By using an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Exchange Plan (details are in the
      Statement of Additional Information), or government allotment plan, you can make
      subsequent investments (after making the initial investment of $500) for as little as
      $50. For any type of account established under one of these plans prior to November
      1, 2002, the minimum additional investment will remain $25.
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.


Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of shares as of the
      close of The New York Stock Exchange (the "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 for a class of shares on a "regular business day" is
      determined by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable to that class
      by the number of shares of that class outstanding on that day.  To determine net
      asset values, the Fund assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market
      quotations.  If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately
      reflect fair value for a security (in the Manager's judgment) or if a security's
      value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the
      exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be
      valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects the
      fair value. 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.

      The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the
      day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's Valuation
      Committee.  Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval
      and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations
      are determined.  In determining whether current market prices are readily available
      and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course
      of its investment management responsibilities for significant events that it believes
      in good faith will affect the market prices of the securities of issuers held by the
      Fund.  Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in
      trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or
      events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes
      early because of a natural disaster).

      If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is
      traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset values are calculated
      that day, a significant event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the
      exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security
      from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded,
      the Manager will use its best judgment to determine a fair value for that security.

      The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility
      that occurs in U.S. markets on a trading day after the close of foreign securities
      markets.  The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure
      whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into
      account.

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 the 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 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, unless your dealer has
      made alternative arrangements with the Distributor. 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 for regular accounts or lesser amounts for certain retirement
      plans). The amount of that sales charge will vary depending on the amount you invest.
      The sales charge rates are listed in "How Can You Buy Class A Shares?" below.
Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase,
      but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within 6
      years of buying them, you will normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge. That
      contingent deferred sales charge varies depending on how long you own your shares, as
      described in "How Can You Buy Class B Shares?" below.
Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase,
      but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within
      12 months of buying them, you will normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge of
      1.0%, as described in "How Can You Buy Class C Shares?" below.
Class N Shares. If you buy Class N shares (available only through certain retirement
      plans), you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an annual
      asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within 18 months of the retirement
      plan's first purchase of Class N shares, you may pay a contingent deferred sales
      charge of 1.0%, as described in "How Can You Buy Class N Shares?" below.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional investors that
      have a special agreement with the Distributor.
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 most likely invest in 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.


      If you invest $1 million or more, in most cases Class A shares will be the most
      advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold your shares. For that
      reason, the Distributor normally will not accept purchase orders of $100,000 or more
      of Class B shares or $1 million or more of Class C shares from a single investor.
      Dealers or other financial intermediaries purchasing shares for their customers in
      omnibus accounts are responsible for compliance with those limits.


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 and 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 or Class Y shares, such as the Class B, Class C and Class N asset-based sales
      charge described below and in the Statement of Additional Information.

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.

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:

SPECIAL SALES CHARGE ARRANGEMENTS AND WAIVERS. Appendix C 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 a
special condition applies.

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges?  You and your spouse may be eligible to buy Class A
shares of the Fund at reduced sales charge rates set forth in the table above under the
Fund's "Right of Accumulation" or a "Letter of Intent." The Fund reserves the right to
modify or to cease offering these programs at any time.
o     Right of Accumulation. To reduce the Class A front-end sales charge under the rates
         in the table above that apply to larger purchases, you can add to the amount
         of your current purchase the value of investments currently being made by
         you and your spouse (or previously made by you and your spouse and still
         held) in Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds
         (a list is in the Statement of Additional Information under "How to Buy
         Shares - The Oppenheimer Funds"). You may not include Class A shares of
         Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which
         you did not pay a sales charge for this purpose. In totaling your holdings,
         you may count shares held in your individual accounts (including IRAs and
         403(b) plans), your joint accounts with your spouse, or accounts you or your
         spouse hold as trustees or custodians on behalf of your children who are
         minors. A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a trust, estate or
         other fiduciary account (including employee benefit plans for the same
         employer) that has multiple accounts. To qualify for this Right of
         Accumulation, if you are buying shares directly from the Fund you must
         inform the Fund's Distributor of your eligibility and holdings at the time
         of your purchase. If you are buying shares through your financial
         intermediary you must notify your intermediary of your eligibility for this
         Right of Accumulation at the time of your purchase.

               To count shares of eligible Oppenheimer funds held in accounts at
         other intermediaries under this Right of Accumulation, you may be requested
         to provide the Distributor or your current intermediary (depending on the
         way you are buying your shares) a copy of each account statement showing
         your current holdings of the Fund or other eligible Oppenheimer funds,
         including statements for accounts held by you and your spouse or in
         retirement plans or trust or custodial accounts for minor children as
         described above. The Distributor or intermediary through which you are
         buying shares will combine the value of all your eligible Oppenheimer fund
         accounts based on the current offering price per share to determine what
         Class A sales charge breakpoints you may qualify for on your current
         purchase.

o     Letters of Intent. You may also reduce the Class A front-end sales charge on current
         purchases of shares of the Fund under the rates in the table above by
         submitting a Letter of Intent to the Distributor. A Letter of Intent is a
         written statement of your intention to purchase Class A and/or Class B
         shares of the Fund (and other Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of
         Oppenheimer Money Market Fund and Oppenheimer Cash Reserves) over a 13-month
         period. The total amount of your intended purchases of Class A and Class B
         shares will determine the reduced sales charge rate that will apply to Class
         A shares of the Fund purchased during that period. You can include purchases
         made up to 90 days before the date of the Letter.   Submitting a Letter of
         Intent does not obligate you to purchase the specified amount of shares.
         You can also apply the Right of Accumulation to these purchases.

            If you do not complete the Letter of Intent, the front-end sales charge
         you paid on your purchases will be recalculated to reflect the actual value
         of shares you purchased.  A certain portion of your shares will be held in
         escrow by the Fund's Transfer Agent for this purpose. Please refer to "How
         to Buy Shares - Letters of Intent" in the Fund's Statement of Additional
         Information for more complete information.

Other Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers.  The Fund and the Distributor
offer other opportunities to purchase shares without front-end or contingent deferred
sales charges under the programs described below. The Fund reserves the right to
amend or discontinue these programs at any time without prior notice.
o     Dividend Reinvestment.  Dividends and/or capital gains distributions received by a
         shareholder from the Fund may be reinvested in shares of the Fund or any of
         the other Oppenheimer funds without a sales charge, at the net asset value
         per share in effect on the payable date. You must notify the Transfer Agent
         in writing to elect this option and must have an existing account in the
         fund selected for reinvestment.
o     Exchanges of Shares.  Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of certain other
         Oppenheimer funds at net asset value per share at the time of exchange,
         without sales charge, and shares of the Fund can be purchased by exchange of
         shares of certain other Oppenheimer funds on the same basis. Please refer to
         "How to Exchange Shares" in this Prospectus and in the Statement of
         Additional Information for more details, including a discussion of
         circumstances in which sales charges may apply on exchanges.
o     Reinvestment Privilege.  Within six months of a redemption of certain Class A and
         Class B shares, the proceeds may be reinvested in Class A shares of the Fund
         without sales charge. This privilege applies to redemptions of Class A
         shares that were subject to an initial sales charge or Class A or Class B
         shares that were subject to a contingent deferred sales charge when
         redeemed. The investor must ask the Transfer Agent for that privilege at the
         time of reinvestment and must identify the account from which the redemption
         was made.
      Other Special Reductions and Waivers. The Fund and the Distributor offer additional
      arrangements to reduce or eliminate front-end sales charges or to waive contingent
      deferred sales charges for certain types of transactions and for certain classes of
      investors (primarily retirement plans that purchase shares in special programs
      through the Distributor). These are described in greater detail in Appendix C to the
      Statement of Additional Information, which is also available on the OppenheimerFunds
      website, at www.oppenheimerfunds.com (under the hyperlinks "Access Accounts and
                  ------------------------
      Services - Investor Service Center"). To receive a waiver or special sales charge
      rate under these programs, the purchaser must notify the Distributor (or other
      financial intermediary through which shares are being purchased) at the time of
      purchase or notify the Transfer Agent with at the time of redeeming shares for those
      waivers that apply to contingent deferred sales charges.

o     Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans. There is no initial sales charge on purchases
         of Class A shares of the Fund by (1) retirement plans that have $10 million or
         more in plan assets and that have entered into a special agreement with the
         Distributor and by (2) retirement plans that are part of a retirement plan product
         or platform offered by banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors, insurance
         companies or record-keepers that have entered into a special agreement with the
         Distributor for this purpose. 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 described in "Retirement Plans" in the Statement of Additional
         Information. No contingent deferred sales charge is charged upon the redemption of
         such shares.

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 on purchases of Class A shares by
      certain retirement plans that satisfied certain requirements prior to
      March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts").  However, those Class
      A shares may be subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge, as
      described below.  Retirement plans holding shares of Oppenheimer funds in
      an  omnibus account(s) for the benefit of plan participants in the name of
      a fiduciary or financial intermediary (other than
      OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single DB Plus 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 purchases 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.

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 six 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:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years Since Beginning of Month in       Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on
Which Purchase Order was Accepted       Redemptions in That Year
                                        (As % of Amount Subject to Charge)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 - 1                                   5.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - 2                                   4.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 - 3                                   3.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 - 4                                   3.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - 5                                   2.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 - 6                                   1.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More than 6                             None
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the table, a "year" is a 12-month period.  In applying the contingent deferred sales
charge, all purchases are considered to have been made on the first regular business day of
the month in which the purchase was made.

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A
      shares 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.

            Class N shares are sold at net asset value without an initial sales charge. 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, employee benefit plans and Section 529 plans, among others. 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 Distribution and Service Plan for
      Class A shares. The plan also provides for the Fund to pay an asset-based sales
      charge to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25% of average annual net assets of
      Class A shares the Fund (the Board of Trustees has set that rate at zero). The Fund
      pays a service fee to the Distributor of 0.25% of the average annual net assets of
      Class A shares. The Distributor currently uses all of the service fee 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.
      Prior to January 1, 2003, the Fund paid the Distributor an annual asset-based sales
      charge equal to 0.15% of average annual net assets representing Class A shares
      purchased before September 1, 1993, and 0.10% of average annual net assets
      representing Class A shares purchased on or after that date. The Distributor paid the
      entire asset-based sales charge to brokers.


      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. The Distributor retains the first year's service fee paid by the Fund. After
      the shares have been held by grandfathered retirement accounts 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 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 expenses 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
      normally 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 currently pays a sales concession of 3.75% of the purchase price of
      Class B shares to dealers from its own resources at the time of sale. Including the
      advance of the service fee, the total amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at
      the time of sale of Class B shares is therefore 4.00% of the purchase price. The
      Distributor normally retains the Class B asset-based sales charge. 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. The Distributor
      normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C shares during the first year
      after the purchase of Class C shares. 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 normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class N shares. See the
      Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

      Under certain circumstances, the Distributor will pay the full Class B, Class C or
      Class N asset-based sales charge and the service fee to the dealer beginning in the
      first year after purchase of such shares in lieu of paying the dealer the sales
      concession and the advance of the first year's service fee at the time of purchase,
      if there is a special agreement between the dealer and the Distributor.  In those
      circumstances, the sales concession will not be paid to the dealer.

      For Class C shares purchased through the OppenheimerFunds Recordkeeper Pro program,
      the Distributor will pay the Class C asset-based sales charge to the dealer of record
      in the first year after the purchase of such shares in lieu of paying the dealer a
      sales concession at the time of purchase.  The Distributor will use the service fee
      it receives from the Fund on those shares to reimburse FASCorp for providing personal
      services to the Class C accounts holding those shares.

      In addition, the Manager and the Distributor may make substantial payments to dealers
      or other financial intermediaries and service providers for distribution and/or
      shareholder servicing activities, out of their own resources, including the profits
      from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund.  Some of these
      distribution-related payments may be made to dealers or financial intermediaries for
      marketing, promotional or related expenses; these payments are often referred to as
      "revenue sharing."  In some circumstances, those types of payments may create an
      incentive for a dealer or financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend
      or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers.  You should
      ask your dealer or financial intermediary for more details about any such payments it
      receives.

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, by wire, 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 1.800.225.5677, 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.

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Wire. While the Fund normally sends your money by check, you
      can arrange to have the proceeds of shares you sell sent by Federal Funds wire to a
      bank account you designate. It must be a commercial bank that is a member of the
      Federal Reserve wire system. The minimum redemption you can have sent by wire is
      $2,500. There is a $10 fee for each request. To find out how to set up this feature
      on your account or to arrange a wire, call the Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677.


HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY MAIL? Write a letter of instruction 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.

Use the following address for            Send courier or express mail
requests by mail:                        requests to:

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
regular business day, your call must be received by the Transfer Agent by the close of the
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-sponsored qualified retirement plan account
or under a share certificate by telephone.
   o  To redeem shares through a service representative or automatically on PhoneLink, call
      1.800.225.5677.
      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 or by Wire. 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.

      If you have requested Federal Funds wire privileges for your account, the wire of the
      redemption proceeds will normally be transmitted on the next bank business day after
      the shares are redeemed. There is a possibility that the wire may be delayed up to
      seven days to enable the Fund to sell securities to pay the redemption proceeds. No
      dividends are accrued or paid on the proceeds of shares that have been redeemed and
      are awaiting transmittal by wire.

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 C 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 C 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

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 any 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
1.800.225.5677. 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  or by using  PhoneLink  for  automated  exchanges  by calling
      1.800.225.5677.  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  The interests of the Fund's shareholders and the Fund's ability to manage its
      investments may be adversely affected when its shares are repeatedly exchanged over
      the short term.  When large dollar amounts are involved, the Fund's implementation of
      its investment strategies may be negatively affected or the Fund might have to raise
      or retain more cash than the portfolio manager would normally retain, to meet
      unanticipated redemptions.  Frequent exchange activity also may force the Fund to
      sell portfolio securities at disadvantageous times to raise the cash needed to meet
      those exchange requests.  These factors might hurt the Fund's performance.
   The Board of Trustees has adopted a policy that beginning on or about ________, 2005,
      would allow shareholders to exchange (either their full or partial account balance)
      from one fund account to another fund account once in any 30-day calendar period.
      When shares are exchanged into an account, that account would be "blocked" from
      allowing further exchanges for a period of 30 calendar days from the date of the
      exchange.  This block will apply to the full account balance and not just to the
      value of the amount exchanged into that account.  For example, if a shareholder
      exchanged $1,000 from one fund into an account in another fund where the shareholder
      already owned shares worth $10,000, then following the exchange the full $11,000 in
      the account that the shares exchanged into would be blocked from exchange for a
      period of 30 calendar days.
o     A shareholder would be permitted to exchange shares from a stock or bond fund into a
      money market fund at anytime, even if the shareholder had exchanged shares into the
      stock or bond fund in the prior 30 days.  However, all of the shares of the money
      market fund would then be blocked from further exchange for 30 calendar days from the
      date of the exchange into the money market fund.
o     Shareholders would be permitted to redeem their shares at any time subject to the
      terms of this prospectus.
o     This policy would not apply to (a) accounts held in omnibus accounts in the name of a
      broker-dealer or other financial institution, or (b) omnibus accounts held in the
      name of a retirement plan trustee or administrator, or (c) accounts held in the name
      of an insurance company for its separate account(s), or (d) other accounts having
      multiple underlying owners but registered in a manner such that the underlying
      beneficial owners are not identified to the transfer agent. However, the Transfer
      Agent will monitor overall purchase and redemption activity in those accounts to seek
      to identify patterns of excess activity that may suggest excessive purchase,
      redemption or exchange activity at the underlying owner level (for example,
      monitoring for annualized purchases and redemptions exceeding a percentage of the
      assets held in the account). The intermediary or administrator will be notified and
      asked to review account activity, and to confirm to the transfer agent and the fund
      that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the activity.
o     The reinvestment of dividends or distributions from one fund into shares of another
      fund and/or the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares will not be counted
      as an exchange for purposes of imposing the 30 day limit.
   o  When the Transfer Agent in its discretion believes frequent trading activity by
      any person, group or account would have a disruptive effect on the Fund's
      ability to manage its investments, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may reject
      purchase orders and/or exchanges into the Fund.  This is true even if the
      exchange activity has not exceeded the exchange policy outlined above.  The
      history of frequent trading activity in all accounts known by the Transfer
      Agent to be under common ownership or control within the OppenheimerFunds
      complex may be considered by the Transfer Agent, with respect to the review of
      frequent trading involving this Fund as part of the Transfer Agent's procedures
      to detect and deter excessive exchange activity.
   o  There is no guarantee that the limitations described above will be sufficient
      to identify or curtail excessive trading activity.  Additionally, there is no
      guarantee that the Transfer Agent will be able to detect frequent exchange
      activity conducted by the underlying owners of shares held in omnibus accounts,
      and therefore might not be able to effectively prevent frequent exchange
      activity in those accounts.  There is no guarantee that the Transfer Agent's
      controls and procedures will be successful to identify investors who engage in
      excessive trading activity or to curtail that activity.
o     The Fund permits dealers or financial intermediaries to submit exchange requests on
      behalf of their customers (unless the customer has revoked that authority).  The
      Manager, the Distributor and/or the Transfer Agent have agreements with a limited
      number of broker-dealers and investment advisers permitting them to submit exchange
      orders in bulk on behalf of their clients, provided that those broker-dealers or
      advisers follow the exchange policy as stated above and agree to certain additional
      restrictions on their exchange activity (which are more stringent than the
      restrictions that apply to other shareholders).  Those restrictions include
      limitations on the funds available for exchanges, the requirement to give advance
      notice of exchanges to the Transfer Agent, and limits on the amount of client assets
      that may be invested in a particular fund.  The Fund and its Transfer Agent may
      restrict or refuse bulk exchange requests submitted by a financial intermediary on
      behalf of a large number of accounts (including pursuant to the arrangements
      described above) if, in the Transfer Agent's judgment exercised in its discretion,
      those exchanges would be disruptive to either fund in the exchange transaction.
o     Shares are redeemed from one fund and are normally purchased from the other fund in
      the same transaction on the same regular business day on which the Transfer Agent or
      its agent (such as a financial intermediary holding the investor's shares in an
      omnibus account) 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.  The Transfer Agent may
      delay the reinvestment of the proceeds of an exchange up to seven days if it
      determines in its discretion that an earlier transmittal of the redemption proceeds
      to the receiving fund would be detrimental to the Fund from which the exchange is
      made or to the receiving fund.
   o  The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. The Fund
      may refuse any exchange order and is currently not obligated to provide notice before
      rejecting an exchange order.
   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.
A $12 annual "Minimum Balance Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a value of less
      than $500. The fee is automatically deducted from each applicable Fund account
      annually on or about the second to last "regular business day" of September.  See the
      Statement of Additional Information (shareholders may visit the OppenheimerFunds
      website) to learn how you can avoid this fee and for circumstances under which this
      fee will not be assessed.

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 or by Federal Funds wire (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 processing any type of redemption payment as described under
      "How to Sell Shares" 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.
Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the account value has
      fallen below $500 for reasons other than the fact that the market value of shares has
      dropped. In some cases involuntary redemptions may be made to repay the Distributor
      for losses from the cancellation of share purchase orders.
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. If the Fund redeems
      your shares in kind, you may bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until
      such time as such securities are converted into cash.
Federal regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of birth (for a
      natural person), your residential street address or principal place of business and
      your Social Security Number, Employer Identification Number or other government
      issued identification when you open an account. Additional information may be
      required in certain circumstances or to open corporate accounts.  The Fund or the
      Transfer Agent may use this information to attempt to verify your identity.  The Fund
      may not be able to establish an account if the necessary information is not
      received.  The Fund may also place limits on account transactions while it is in the
      process of attempting to verify your identity.  Additionally, if the Fund is unable
      to verify your identity after your account is established, the Fund may be required
      to redeem your shares and close your account.
"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 1.800.225.5677. 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 on an annual basis and to pay them to  shareholders  in December on a
date  selected by the Board of Trustees.  Dividends  and  distributions  paid to 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 shares.  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.


      The Fund intends each year to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under the
Internal Revenue Code, but reserves the right not to qualify. It qualified during its last
fiscal year. The Fund, as a regulated investment company, will not be subject to Federal
income taxes on any of its income, provided that it satisfies certain income,
diversification and distribution requirements.


Avoid "Buying a Distribution." If you buy shares on or just before the ex-dividend date or
      just before the Fund declares a capital gains distribution, you will pay the full
      price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back as a taxable
      dividend or capital gain.
Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions.  Because the Fund's share prices fluctuate,
      you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or exchange your shares. A capital
      gain or loss is the difference between the price you paid for the shares and the
      price you 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 ______________, the
Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund's
financial statements, is included in the Statement of Additional Information, which is

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?  The Fund's objective is to seek
capital appreciation.


WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? The Fund invests mainly in common stocks
of U.S. issuers that have market capitalizations under $3.0 billion. These
are described as "small-cap" companies. Under normal market conditions it
will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings
for investment purposes) in equity securities of "small-cap" domestic and
foreign issuers.  The Fund emphasizes equity securities of companies that the
portfolio managers believe are undervalued in the marketplace. These
investments are more fully explained in "About the Fund's Investments" below.


HOW DO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In
selecting securities for purchase or sale by the Fund, the portfolio managers
use a "value" approach to investing.  The portfolio managers search for
securities of companies believed to be undervalued in the marketplace, in
relation to factors such as a company's book value, sales, earnings, growth
potential and cash flows.  The portfolio managers select securities one at a
time.  This is called a "bottom up" approach, and the portfolio managers use
fundamental company analysis to focus on particular companies before
considering industry trends.  The portfolio managers consider the following
factors in assessing a company's prospects:
o     Favorable supply/demand conditions for key products
o     Development of new products or businesses
o     Quality of management
o     Competitive position in the marketplace
o     Allocation of capital

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed for investors seeking
capital appreciation in their investment over the long term. Those investors
should be willing to assume the greater risk of short-term share price
fluctuations that are typical for funds emphasizing small-cap stock
investments. Since the Fund does not seek current income and its income from
investments will likely be small, it is not designed for investors needing
investment income or preservation of capital. 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 in
stocks 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.  As an example, the
portfolio managers' "value" approach to investing could result in fewer Fund
investments in stocks that become highly valued by the marketplace during
times of rapid market advances.  This could cause the Fund to underperform
other funds that seek capital appreciation but that employ a growth or
non-value approach to investing.

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
equity securities of small-cap companies, the value of the Fund's portfolio
will be affected by changes in the stock markets and the special economic and
other factors that might primarily affect the prices of small-cap stocks in
the markets in which it invests. Market risk will affect the Fund's net asset
values 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. Because the Fund can buy both foreign stocks and
stocks of U.S. issuers, it will be affected by changes in domestic and
foreign stock markets.

      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 industries or its industry.


Special Risks of Small-Cap Stocks. The Fund emphasizes its investments in
      securities of companies having a market capitalization under $3.0
      billion.  While these companies might be established businesses,
      generally they tend to be newer companies. 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.  Additionally, smaller capitalization
      companies may be more reliant on the efforts of particular members of
      their management team, and management changes may pose a risk to the
      success of the business.


      Small-cap stocks may be less liquid than those of larger issuers.  That
      means the Fund could have greater difficulty selling a security of a
      small-cap issuer at an acceptable price, 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.

Industry Focus. At times, the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its
      investments in a particular industry. Stocks of issuers in a particular
      industry may be affected by changes in economic conditions, government
      regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other
      events that affect that industry more than others. To the extent that
      the Fund is emphasizing investments in a particular industry, its share
      values may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry. To
      some extent that risk may be limited by the Fund's policy of not
      concentrating its assets in investments in any one industry.

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 its price per share. Particular
investment 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. The Fund's
investments in small-cap stocks can be volatile, especially in the short
term. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The
Fund generally does not use income-oriented investments to help cushion the
Fund's total return from changes in stock prices, except for defensive or
liquidity purposes. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is likely to
experience greater price fluctuations than funds that emphasize large-cap
stocks or investment-grade bonds. It is designed for investors willing to
assume greater risks in the hope of achieving long-term capital appreciation.

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 a broad-based market index. The after-tax
returns for the other classes of shares will vary.

      The after-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and are
calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income
tax rates in effect during the periods shown, and do not reflect the impact
of state or local taxes. In certain cases, the figure representing "Return
After Taxes on Distributions and Sale of Fund Shares" may be higher than the
other return figures for the same period.  A higher after-tax return may
result when a capital loss occurs upon redemption and translates into an
assumed tax deduction that benefits the shareholder. 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.

1 From 12/31/93


The Fund's average annual total returns include applicable sales charges: 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. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after
purchase, Class B "life-of-class" performance does not include any contingent
deferred sales charge and uses Class A performance for the period after
conversion.
The returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account and assume that
all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in
additional shares. The performance of the Fund's Class A shares is compared
to the Russell 2000(R)Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities.  The
index performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect
transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund's investments vary from
those in the index.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund


      The following tables are provided to help you understand the fees and
expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. 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. The numbers below are based
on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended October 31, 2004.

Effective  January 1, 2003, the Board set the Class A asset-based sales charge
to zero  resulting  in a 12b-1 fee of 0.25%.  Prior to January  1,  2003,  the
asset-based  sales  charge  was 0.10% (as to Class A shares  purchased  on and
after  September 1, 1993) and 0.15% (as to Class A shares  purchased  prior to
September  1, 1993),  in each case on average  annual net assets  representing
Class A shares of the Fund.  For the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2004
the actual  12b-1 fee was ____% for Class A shares.  The Board of Trustees can
set the rate of the asset-based  sales charge on Class A shares up to 0.25% of
average annual net assets.

With  consideration  given to the  actual  management  fees for each  class of
shares,  and the  actual  12b-1  fees for Class A shares,  above,  the  "Total
Annual  Operating  Expenses" were ____% for Class A shares,  ____% for Class B
shares, ____% for Class C shares and ____% for Class N shares.

Expenses may vary in future years.  "Other  Expenses"  include  transfer agent
fees,  custodial  fees,  and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays.
The "Other  Expenses" in the table are based on, among other things,  the fees
that 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 these fees to
0.35% of  average  daily net  assets per  fiscal  year for all  classes.  That
undertaking  may be amended or  withdrawn at any time.  After the waiver,  the
actual "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual  Operating  Expenses" as percentages
of  average  daily net assets  were ____% and ____% for Class A shares,  ____%
and ____% for  Class B  shares,  ____% and ____% for Class C shares  and ____%
and ____% for Class N shares.


1.    A  contingent   deferred  sales  charge  may  apply  to  redemptions  of
   investments  of $1 million or more  ($500,000 for certain  retirement  plan
   accounts) of Class A shares. See "How to Buy Shares" for details.
2.    Applies to  redemptions  in first year after  purchase.  The  contingent
   deferred  sales  charge  gradually  declines  from  5% to 1% in  years  one
   through six and is eliminated after that.
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.
5.    The  redemption  fee  applies to the  proceeds  of Fund  shares that are
   redeemed  (either by selling or  exchanging  to another  Oppenheimer  fund)
   within  30 days of  their  purchase.  See  "How to Sell  Shares"  for  more
   information on when the redemption fee will apply.

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:

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
evaluation of economic and market trends by the Manager. The Fund's portfolio
might not always include all of the different types of investments described
in this Prospectus. 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 and by reducing the Fund's exposure to market risks
by diversifying its investments. That means the Fund does not hold a
substantial percentage of the stock of any one company and does not invest
too great a percentage of its assets in any one issuer. Also, the Fund does
not concentrate 25% or more of its investments in any one industry.

      However, changes in the overall market prices of securities and the
income they pay can occur at any time. The share price 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 emphasizes investments in equity
securities, primarily common stocks. The portfolio managers look for stocks
of small-cap companies that they believe have been undervalued by the market.
These companies may have a low ratio of their stock price to earnings, for
example.  The portfolio managers also look at the issuers' cash flows and
earnings, to measure potential for capital growth.  After looking at the
individual issuers in the small-cap universe that meet these criteria, the
portfolio managers may also look at broader industry and economic trends that
could affect the growth potential of particular small-cap stocks.  Current
examples of sectors offering value investing opportunities among small-cap
issuers include technology, capital goods and cyclical sectors.  However,
these opportunities and industries may change over time.

Cyclical Opportunities. The Fund may 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 are undervalued and have growth
      potential. For example, when the economy is expanding, companies in the
      consumer durables and technology sectors may benefit and present
      long-term growth opportunities. Other cyclical industries include
      insurance and forest products, for example. The Fund focuses on seeking
      growth over the long term, but may seek to take tactical advantage of
      short-term market movements or events affecting particular issuers or
      industries.

Other Equity Securities. While the Fund emphasizes investments in common
      stocks, it can also buy preferred stocks and securities convertible
      into common stock.  Although they are debt securities, the Manager
      considers some convertible securities to be "equity equivalents"
      because of the conversion feature, and their credit rating has less
      impact on the investment decision than in the case of other debt
      securities. Nevertheless, convertible securities are subject to both
      "credit risk" (the risk that the issuer will not pay interest or repay
      principal in a timely manner) and "interest rate risk" (the risk that
      the prices of the securities will fluctuate inversely to changes in
      prevailing interest rates). To the extent that the Fund buys
      convertible securities (or other debt securities) it will focus
      primarily on investment-grade securities, which pose less credit risk
      than lower-grade debt securities.

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 are those that cannot be changed
without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares.
The Fund's investment 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 Manager might not
always use all of them and is not required to use them to achieve its
objective. These techniques have certain risks, although some are designed to
help reduce investment or market risks.

Foreign Investing. The Fund can buy foreign securities that are listed on a
      domestic or foreign stock exchange, traded in domestic or foreign
      over-the-counter markets, or represented by American Depository
      Receipts. The Fund can invest in emerging markets, which have greater
      risks than developed markets, making these investments more volatile
      than other foreign investments. These securities are more fully
      described in the Statement of Additional Information. The Fund will
      hold foreign currency only in connection with buying and selling
      foreign securities.

o     Risks of Foreign Investing. While the Fund has no limits on the
      percentage of its assets it can invest in foreign securities, normally
      it does not expect to invest substantial amounts of its assets in
      foreign securities and generally limits investments in emerging markets
      to not more than 5% of its total assets. While foreign securities may
      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 securities denominated
      in that foreign currency.  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. These risks could cause the
      prices of foreign stocks to fall and could therefore depress the Fund's
      share prices.

Debt Securities. The Fund can also invest in debt securities, such as U.S.
      government securities and corporate bonds and debentures.  The Fund
      typically does not hold significant amounts of debt securities in
      seeking its objective of capital appreciation. The Fund might buy
      short-term debt securities for liquidity purposes pending the purchase
      of new investments or to have cash to pay for redemptions of Fund
      shares. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its total assets in
      "lower-grade" debt securities.  These debt securities (commonly known
      as "junk bonds") are rated below investment grade. That means that they
      are rated lower than "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service or "BBB" by
      Standard & Poor's Rating Service or have comparable ratings by other
      nationally-recognized rating organizations or are unrated securities
      assigned an equivalent rating by the Manager.

o     U.S. Government Securities. The Fund's investments in U.S. government
      securities can include U.S. Treasury securities and securities issued
      or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government.
      U.S. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the
      U.S. government and are subject to little credit risk. Securities of
      U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities such as the Federal Home
      Loan Mortgage Corporation, the Federal National Mortgage Association
      and the Federal Home Loan Banks are neither guaranteed or insured by
      the U.S. government, but generally are considered to have low credit
      risks.

Money Market Instruments. The Fund can also invest in "money market
      instruments." These include U.S. government securities and high-quality
      corporate debt securities having a remaining maturity of one year or
      less. They include commercial paper, other short-term corporate debt
      obligations, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and
      repurchase agreements. They would be used primarily for liquidity
      purposes and do not generate capital growth if held to maturity.

Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its
      total assets in securities of small, unseasoned companies. These are
      companies that have been in continuous operation for less than three
      years, counting the operations of any predecessors. These securities
      may have limited liquidity, so that the Fund could have difficulty
      selling them at an acceptable price when it wants to. The values of
      these securities may be very volatile, especially in the short term.

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. A restricted
      security has a contractual restriction on its resale or cannot be sold
      publicly until it is registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The
      Fund cannot invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid or
      restricted securities. 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.

Hedging. The Fund can use certain hedging instruments such as options,
      futures and forward contracts to try to hedge investment risks. The
      Fund does not use hedging instruments for speculative purposes and is
      not required to hedge in seeking its objective. The Fund has limits on
      its use of hedging instruments and currently does not use them to a
      significant degree.

      There are special risks in certain hedging strategies. The underlying
      security or investment on which the hedging instrument is based, and
      the hedging instrument itself, may not perform the way the Manager
      expected it to perform.  If that happens, the Fund's hedge could be
      unsuccessful and the Fund's share price could decline.  Hedging can
      cause the Fund to lose money on its investments and/or increase the
      volatility of its share prices.

Portfolio Turnover.  A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as
      "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent
      short-term trading to try to achieve its objective, with a resulting
      high rate of portfolio turnover.  Portfolio turnover increases
      brokerage costs the Fund pays (and may reduce performance).  If the
      Fund realizes capital gains when it sells its portfolio investments, it
      must generally pay those gains out to shareholders, increasing their
      taxable distributions.  The Financial Highlights table at the end of
      this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during prior
      fiscal years.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments.  In times of adverse or unstable
      market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to
      100% of its assets in temporary investments that are inconsistent with
      the Fund's principal investment strategy. Generally they would be
      short-term U.S. government securities and the types of money market
      instruments described above. To the extent the Fund invests defensively
      in these securities, it might not achieve its investment objective of
      capital appreciation.


      PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS.  The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in
      semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to shareholders of
      the Fund within 60 days after the close of the period for which such
      report is being made.  The Fund also makes disclosures of the portfolio
      securities holdings in Statement of Investments under Form N-Q, filed
      with the SEC no later than 60 days after the close of the first and
      third fiscal quarters. These additional quarterly filings are publicly
      available at the SEC.   Therefore, portfolio holdings of the Fund are
      made publicly available no later than 60 days after the close of the
      Fund's fiscal quarter.

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


How the Fund Is Managed

THE MANAGER. The Manager supervises the Fund's investment program and handles
its day-to-day business.  The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the
policies established by the Board of Trustees, under an investment advisory
agreement that states the Manager's responsibilities.  The agreement sets the
fees paid by the Fund to the Manager and describes the expenses that the Fund
pays to conduct its business. The Manager became the Fund's investment
advisor on November 22, 1995.


      The Manager has operated as an investment advisor since January 1960.
The Manager and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than
$___ billion in assets as of December 31, 2004, including other Oppenheimer
funds with more than __ million shareholder accounts.  The Manager is located
at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New
York 10281-1008.


Portfolio Managers.  The Fund's portfolio managers are Christopher Leavy and
      John Damian. They are the persons primarily responsible for the
      day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. Mr. Leavy is a Senior
      Vice President of the Manager and an officer and portfolio manager of
      other Oppenheimer funds.  Mr. Damian is a Vice President of the
      Manager. Mr. Leavy became the Fund's co-portfolio manager on March 1,
      2001 and Mr. Damian became the Fund's co-portfolio manager on October
      10, 2002.

      Prior to joining the Manager in September 2000, Mr. Leavy was a
      portfolio manager of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Investment (from 1997
      to September 2000) and a portfolio manager and equity analyst of
      Crestar Asset Management (from 1995 to 1997). Before joining the
      Manager in September 2001, Mr. Damian was an equity analyst at
      Citigroup Asset Management (from 1999 to September 2001) and an equity
      analyst at Pzena Investment Management (from 1997 to 1999).


Advisory Fees. The Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate
      that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows: 0.80% of the
      first $400 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.75% of
      the next $400 million and 0.60% of average annual net assets in excess
      of $800 million. The Fund's management fee for its last fiscal year
      ended October 31, 2004 was ____% of average annual net assets for each
      class of shares.

PENDING  LITIGATION.  Six law suits have been filed as putative derivative and
class actions against the Fund's investment Manager,  Distributor and Transfer
Agent,  some of the  Oppenheimer  funds  including  the Fund and  Directors or
Trustees of some of those funds,  excluding the Fund.  The  complaints  allege
that the Manager  charged  excessive  fees for  distribution  and other costs,
improperly  used  assets  of the  funds  in the  form  of  directed  brokerage
commissions  and 12b-1 fees to pay  brokers to  promote  sales of  Oppenheimer
funds,  and failed to properly  disclose  the use of fund assets to make those
payments  in  violation  of the  Investment  Company  Act and  the  Investment
Advisers Act of 1940. The complaints  further allege that by permitting and/or
participating in those actions,  the defendant  Directors or Trustees breached
their fiduciary duties to fund shareholders  under the Investment  Company Act
and at common law.  Those law suits were filed on August 31,  2004,  September
3, 2004,  September  14, 2004,  September 14, 2004,  September  21, 2004,  and
September  22,  2004,  respectively,  in the U.  S.  District  Court  for  the
Southern  District  of New  York.  By order  dated  October  27,  2004,  these
actions,  and future related actions,  were consolidated by the District Court
into a single  consolidated  proceeding  in  contemplation  of the filing of a
superceding  consolidated and amended  complaint.  The present complaints seek
unspecified  compensatory  and  punitive  damages,  rescission  of the  funds'
investment advisory  agreements,  an accounting of all fees paid, and an award
of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

The Manager and the Distributor believe the claims asserted in these law
suits to be without merit, and intend to defend the suits vigorously. The
Manager and the Distributor do not believe that the pending actions are
likely to have a material adverse effect on the Fund or on their ability to
perform their respective investment advisory or distribution agreements with
the Fund.


ABOUT your account

How to 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. A broker or dealer may charge for that service.
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 1.800.225.5677 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.


WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT YOU MUST INVEST? In most cases, you can buy Fund
shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional
investments at any time with as little as $50. There are reduced minimums
available under the following special investment plans:
o     If you establish one of the many types of retirement plan accounts that
      OppenheimerFunds offers, more fully described below under "Special
      Investor Services," you can start your account with as little as $500.
o     By using an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Exchange Plan (details are
      in the Statement of Additional Information), or government allotment
      plan, you can make subsequent investments (after making the initial
      investment of $500) for as little as $50. For any type of account
      established under one of these plans prior to November 1, 2002, the
      minimum additional investment will remain $25.
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.


Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of
      shares as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange (the "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 for a class of shares on a "regular
      business day" is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's net
      assets attributable to that class by the number of shares of that class
      outstanding on that day.  To determine net asset values, the Fund
      assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.
      If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately
      reflect fair value for a security (in the Manager's judgment) or if a
      security's value has been materially affected by events occurring after
      the close of the exchange or market on which the security is
      principally traded, that security may be valued by another method that
      the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects the fair value.
      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.

      The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has
      delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations
      to the Manager's Valuation Committee.  Fair value determinations by the
      Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board
      at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are
      determined.  In determining whether current market prices are readily
      available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it
      receives in the ordinary course of its investment management
      responsibilities for significant events that it believes in good faith
      will affect the market prices of the securities of issuers held by the
      Fund.  Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for
      example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an
      exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets
      (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a
      natural disaster).

      If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by
      the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset
      values are calculated that day, a significant event occurs that the
      Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will
      cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing
      price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded,
      the Manager will use its best judgment to determine a fair value for
      that security.

      The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by
      volatility that occurs in U.S. markets on a trading day after the close
      of foreign securities markets.  The Manager's fair valuation procedures
      therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be
      "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

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 the 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 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, unless your dealer has made alternative
      arrangements with the Distributor. Otherwise, the order will receive
      the next offering price that is determined.

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

Class A Shares. If you buy Class A shares, you pay an initial sales charge
      (on investments up to $1 million for regular accounts or lesser amounts
      for certain retirement plans). The amount of that sales charge will
      vary depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates are
      listed in "How Can You Buy Class A Shares?" below.
Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you pay no sales charge at the
      time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge.
      If you sell your shares within 6 years of buying them, you will
      normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge. That contingent
      deferred sales charge varies depending on how long you own your shares,
      as described in "How Can You Buy Class B Shares?" below.
Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you pay no sales charge at the
      time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge.
      If you sell your shares within 12 months of buying them, you will
      normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described
      in "How Can You Buy Class C Shares?" below.
Class N Shares. If you buy Class N shares (available only through certain
      retirement plans), you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but
      you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your
      shares within 18 months of the retirement plan's first purchase of
      Class N shares, you may pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%,
      as described in "How Can You Buy Class N Shares?" below.


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 most likely invest in 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.


      If you invest $1 million or more, in most cases Class A shares will be
      the most advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold
      your shares. For that reason, the Distributor normally will not accept
      purchase orders of $100,000 or more of Class B shares or $1 million or
      more of Class C shares from a single investor. Dealers or other
      financial intermediaries purchasing shares for their customers in
      omnibus accounts are responsible for compliance with those limits.


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
      and 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.

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.

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:

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Amount of Purchase  Front-End Sales     Front-End Sales    Concession As
                     Charge As a         Charge As a

SPECIAL SALES CHARGE ARRANGEMENTS AND WAIVERS. Appendix C 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 a special condition applies.

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges?  You and your spouse may be eligible to
buy Class A shares of the Fund at reduced sales charge rates set forth in the
table above under the Fund's "Right of Accumulation" or a "Letter of Intent."
The Fund reserves the right to modify or to cease offering these programs at
any time.
o     Right of Accumulation. To reduce the Class A front-end sales charge
         under the rates in the table above that apply to larger
         purchases, you can add to the amount of your current purchase
         the value of investments currently being made by you and your
         spouse (or previously made by you and your spouse and still
         held) in Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other
         Oppenheimer funds (a list is in the Statement of Additional
         Information under "How to Buy Shares - The Oppenheimer
         Funds"). You may not include Class A shares of Oppenheimer
         Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which
         you did not pay a sales charge for this purpose. In totaling
         your holdings, you may count shares held in your individual
         accounts (including IRAs and 403(b) plans), your joint
         accounts with your spouse, or accounts you or your spouse hold
         as trustees or custodians on behalf of your children who are
         minors. A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a
         trust, estate or other fiduciary account (including employee
         benefit plans for the same employer) that has multiple
         accounts. To qualify for this Right of Accumulation, if you
         are buying shares directly from the Fund you must inform the
         Fund's Distributor of your eligibility and holdings at the
         time of your purchase. If you are buying shares through your
         financial intermediary you must notify your intermediary of
         your eligibility for this Right of Accumulation at the time of
         your purchase.

               To count shares of eligible Oppenheimer funds held in
         accounts at other intermediaries under this Right of
         Accumulation, you may be requested to provide the Distributor
         or your current intermediary (depending on the way you are
         buying your shares) a copy of each account statement showing
         your current holdings of the Fund or other eligible
         Oppenheimer funds, including statements for accounts held by
         you and your spouse or in retirement plans or trust or
         custodial accounts for minor children as described above. The
         Distributor or intermediary through which you are buying
         shares will combine the value of all your eligible Oppenheimer
         fund accounts based on the current offering price per share to
         determine what Class A sales charge breakpoints you may
         qualify for on your current purchase.

o     Letters of Intent. You may also reduce the Class A front-end sales
         charge on current purchases of shares of the Fund under the
         rates in the table above by submitting a Letter of Intent to
         the Distributor. A Letter of Intent is a written statement of
         your intention to purchase Class A and/or Class B shares of
         the Fund (and other Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of
         Oppenheimer Money Market Fund and Oppenheimer Cash Reserves)
         over a 13-month period. The total amount of your intended
         purchases of Class A and Class B shares will determine the
         reduced sales charge rate that will apply to Class A shares of
         the Fund purchased during that period. You can include
         purchases made up to 90 days before the date of the Letter.
         Submitting a Letter of Intent does not obligate you to
         purchase the specified amount of shares.  You can also apply
         the Right of Accumulation to these purchases.

            If you do not complete the Letter of Intent, the front-end
         sales charge you paid on your purchases will be recalculated
         to reflect the actual value of shares you purchased.  A
         certain portion of your shares will be held in escrow by the
         Fund's Transfer Agent for this purpose. Please refer to "How
         to Buy Shares - Letters of Intent" in the Fund's Statement of
         Additional Information for more complete information.

Other Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers.  The Fund and the
Distributor offer other opportunities to purchase shares without
front-end or contingent deferred sales charges under the programs
described below. The Fund reserves the right to amend or discontinue
these programs at any time without prior notice.
o     Dividend Reinvestment.  Dividends and/or capital gains distributions
         received by a shareholder from the Fund may be reinvested in
         shares of the Fund or any of the other Oppenheimer funds
         without a sales charge, at the net asset value per share in
         effect on the payable date. You must notify the Transfer Agent
         in writing to elect this option and must have an existing
         account in the fund selected for reinvestment.
o     Exchanges of Shares.  Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of
         certain other Oppenheimer funds at net asset value per share
         at the time of exchange, without sales charge, and shares of
         the Fund can be purchased by exchange of shares of certain
         other Oppenheimer funds on the same basis. Please refer to
         "How to Exchange Shares" in this Prospectus and in the
         Statement of Additional Information for more details,
         including a discussion of circumstances in which sales charges
         may apply on exchanges.
o     Reinvestment Privilege.  Within six months of a redemption of certain
         Class A and Class B shares, the proceeds may be reinvested in
         Class A shares of the Fund without sales charge. This
         privilege applies to redemptions of Class A shares that were
         subject to an initial sales charge or Class A or Class B
         shares that were subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
         when redeemed. The investor must ask the Transfer Agent for
         that privilege at the time of reinvestment and must identify
         the account from which the redemption was made.
o     Other Special Reductions and Waivers. The Fund and the Distributor
         offer additional arrangements to reduce or eliminate front-end
         sales charges or to waive contingent deferred sales charges
         for certain types of transactions and for certain classes of
         investors (primarily retirement plans that purchase shares in
         special programs through the Distributor). These are described
         in greater detail in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional
         Information, which is also available on the OppenheimerFunds
         website, at www.oppenheimerfunds.com (under the hyperlinks
                     ------------------------
         "Access Accounts and Services - Investor Service Center"). To
         receive a waiver or special sales charge rate under these
         programs, the purchaser must notify the Distributor (or other
         financial intermediary through which shares are being
         purchased) at the time of purchase or notify the Transfer
         Agent with at the time of redeeming shares for those waivers
         that apply to contingent deferred sales charges.

Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans. There is no initial sales charge on
      purchases of Class A shares of the Fund by (1) retirement plans that
      have $10 million or more in plan assets and that have entered into a
      special agreement with the Distributor and by (2) retirement plans that
      are part of a retirement plan product or platform offered by banks,
      broker-dealers, financial advisors, insurance companies or
      record-keepers that have entered into a special agreement with the
      Distributor for this purpose. 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 described in "Retirement
      Plans" in the Statement of Additional Information. No contingent
      deferred sales charge is charged upon the redemption of such shares.

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 on purchases of Class A shares by
      certain retirement plans that satisfied certain requirements prior to
      March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts").  However, those
      Class A shares may be subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales
      charge, as described below.  Retirement plans holding shares of
      Oppenheimer funds in an  omnibus account(s) for the benefit of plan
      participants in the name of a fiduciary or financial intermediary
      (other than OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single DB Plus 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 purchases 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 six 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:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years Since Beginning of Month in       Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on
Which Purchase Order was Accepted       Redemptions in That Year
                                        (As % of Amount Subject to Charge)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 - 1                                   5.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - 2                                   4.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 - 3                                   3.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 - 4                                   3.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - 5                                   2.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 - 6                                   1.0%
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More than 6                             None
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the table, a "year" is a 12-month period.  In applying the contingent
deferred sales charge, all purchases are considered to have been made on the
first regular business day of the month in which the purchase was made.

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically convert
      to Class A shares 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.

      Class N shares are sold at net asset value without an initial sales
charge. 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.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS.


Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and
      Service Plan for Class A shares. The plan also provides for the Fund to
      pay an asset-based sales charge to the Distributor at an annual rate of
      0.25%  of average annual net assets of Class A shares the Fund (the
      Board of Trustees has set that rate at zero). The Fund pays a service
      fee to the Distributor of 0.25% of the average annual net assets of
      Class A shares. The Distributor currently uses all of the service fee
      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. Prior to January 1, 2003, the
      Fund paid the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge equal to
      0.15% of average annual net assets representing Class A shares
      purchased before September 1, 1993, and 0.10% of average annual net
      assets representing Class A shares purchased on or after that date. The
      Distributor paid the entire asset-based sales charge to brokers

            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. The Distributor
      retains the first year's service fee paid by the Fund. After the shares
      have been held by grandfathered retirement accounts 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 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 expenses 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 normally 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 currently pays a sales concession of 3.75% of the
      purchase price of Class B shares to dealers from its own resources at
      the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total
      amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of
      Class B shares is therefore 4.00% of the purchase price. The
      Distributor normally retains the Class B asset-based sales charge. 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.
      The Distributor normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class
      C shares during the first year after the purchase of Class C shares.
      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
      normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class N shares. See
      the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

      Under certain circumstances, the Distributor will pay the full Class B,
      Class C or Class N asset-based sales charge and the service fee to the
      dealer beginning in the first year after purchase of such shares in
      lieu of paying the dealer the sales concession and the advance of the
      first year's service fee at the time of purchase, if there is a special
      agreement between the dealer and the Distributor.  In those
      circumstances, the sales concession will not be paid to the dealer.

      For Class C shares purchased through the OppenheimerFunds Recordkeeper
      Pro program, the Distributor will pay the Class C asset-based sales
      charge to the dealer of record in the first year after the purchase of
      such shares in lieu of paying the dealer a sales concession at the time
      of purchase.  The Distributor will use the service fee it receives from
      the Fund on those shares to reimburse FASCorp for providing personal
      services to the Class C accounts holding those shares.

      In addition, the Manager and the Distributor may make substantial
      payments to dealers or other financial intermediaries and service
      providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities, out
      of their own resources, including the profits from the advisory fees
      the Manager receives from the Fund.  Some of these distribution-related
      payments may be made to dealers or financial intermediaries for
      marketing, promotional or related expenses; these payments are often
      referred to as "revenue sharing."  In some circumstances, those types
      of payments may create an incentive for a dealer or financial
      intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the
      Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers.  You should ask your
      dealer or financial intermediary for more details about any such
      payments it receives.

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, by wire, 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 1.800.225.5677, for assistance.

Redemption Fee. The Fund imposes a 2% redemption fee on the proceeds of Fund
shares that are redeemed within 30 days of their purchase. The fee applies in
the case of shares redeemed in exchange transactions.  The redemption fee is
collected by the Transfer Agent and paid to the Fund.  It is intended to help
offset the trading, market impact, and administrative costs associated with
short-term money movements into and out of the Fund, and to help deter
excessive short term trading.  The fee is imposed to the extent that Fund
shares redeemed exceed Fund shares that have been held more than 30 days.
For shares of the Fund that were acquired by exchange, the holding period is
measured from the date the shares were acquired in the exchange transaction.
Shares held the longest will be redeemed first.

      The redemption fee is not imposed on shares:
   o  held in omnibus accounts of a financial intermediary, such as a
      broker-dealer or a retirement plan fiduciary (however, shares
      held in retirement plans that are not in omnibus accounts,
      Oppenheimer-sponsored retirement plans such as IRAs, and
      403(b)(7) plans are subject to the fee), if those institutions
      have not implemented the system changes necessary to be capable
      of processing the redemption fee;
o     held by investors in certain asset allocation programs that offer
      automatic re-balancing or wrap-fee or similar fee-based programs
      and that have been identified to the Distributor and the Transfer
      Agent;
o     redeemed for rebalancing transactions under the OppenheimerFunds
      Portfolio Builder program;
o     redeemed pursuant to an OppenheimerFunds automatic withdrawal plan;
o     redeemed due to the death or disability of the shareholder;
o     redeemed as part of an automatic dividend exchange election established
      in advance of the exchange;
o     redeemed to pay fees assessed by the Fund or the Transfer Agent against
      the account;
o     redeemed from accounts for which the dealer, broker or financial
      institution of record has entered into an agreement with the
      Distributor that permits such redemptions without the imposition
      of these fees, such as asset allocation programs;
o     redeemed for conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares or pursuant
      to fund mergers; and
o     involuntary redemptions resulting from failure to meet account minimums.


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.

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Wire. While the Fund normally sends your money
      by check, you can arrange to have the proceeds of shares you sell sent
      by Federal Funds wire to a bank account you designate. It must be a
      commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve wire system.
      The minimum redemption you can have sent by wire is $2,500. There is a
      $10 fee for each request. To find out how to set up this feature on
      your account or to arrange a wire, call the Transfer Agent at
      1.800.225.5677.


HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY MAIL? Write a letter of instruction 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.

Use the following address for            Send courier or express mail
requests by mail:                        requests to:
OppenheimerFunds Services                OppenheimerFunds Services
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 regular business day, your call must be
received by the Transfer Agent by the close of the 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-sponsored qualified retirement plan
account or under a share certificate by telephone.
   o  To redeem shares through a service representative or automatically on
      PhoneLink, call 1.800.225.5677.
      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 or by Wire. 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.

      If you have requested Federal Funds wire privileges for your account,
      the wire of the redemption proceeds will normally be transmitted on the
      next bank business day after the shares are redeemed. There is a
      possibility that the wire may be delayed up to seven days to enable the
      Fund to sell securities to pay the redemption proceeds. No dividends
      are accrued or paid on the proceeds of shares that have been redeemed
      and are awaiting transmittal by wire.

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 C 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 C 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 any 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 1.800.225.5677. 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 or by using PhoneLink for automated
      exchanges by calling  1.800.225.5677.  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 redeemed from one fund and are normally purchased from the
      other fund in the same transaction on the same regular business
      day on which the Transfer Agent or its agent (such as a financial
      intermediary holding the investor's shares in an omnibus account)
      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.  The Transfer Agent may delay the
      reinvestment of the proceeds of an exchange up to seven days if
      it determines in its discretion that an earlier transmittal of
      the redemption proceeds to the receiving fund would be
      detrimental to the Fund from which the exchange is made or to the
      receiving fund.
o     The interests of the Fund's shareholders and the Fund's ability to
      manage its investments may be adversely affected when its shares
      are repeatedly exchanged over the short term.  When large dollar
      amounts are involved, the Fund's implementation of its investment
      strategies may be negatively affected or the Fund might have to
      raise or retain more cash than the portfolio manager would
      normally retain, to meet unanticipated redemptions.  Frequent
      exchange activity also may force the Fund to sell portfolio
      securities at disadvantageous times to raise the cash needed to
      meet those exchange requests.  These factors might hurt the
      Fund's performance.  When the Transfer Agent in its discretion
      believes frequent trading activity by any person, group or
      account would have a disruptive effect on the Fund's ability to
      manage its investments, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may
      reject purchase orders and/or exchanges into the Fund.  The
      history of exchange activity in all accounts known by the
      Transfer Agent to be under common ownership or control within the
      Oppenheimer funds complex may be considered by the Transfer
      Agent, with respect to the review of exchanges involving this
      Fund as part of the Transfer Agent's procedures to detect and
      deter excessive exchange activity.  The Transfer Agent may permit
      exchanges that it believes in the exercise of its judgment are
      not disruptive.  The Transfer Agent might not be able to detect
      frequent exchange activity conducted by the underlying owners of
      shares held in omnibus accounts, and therefore might not be able
      to effectively prevent frequent exchange activity in those
      accounts.  There is no guarantee that the Transfer Agent's
      controls and procedures will be successful to identify investors
      who engage in excessive trading activity or to curtail that
      activity.

      As stated above, the Fund permits dealers or financial intermediaries
      to submit exchange requests on behalf of their customers (unless the
      customer has revoked that authority).  The Manager, the Distributor
      and/or the Transfer Agent have agreements with a limited number of
      broker-dealers and investment advisers permitting them to submit
      exchange orders in bulk on behalf of their clients, provided that those
      broker-dealers or advisers agree to restrictions on their exchange
      activity (which are more stringent than the restrictions that apply to
      other shareholders).  Those restrictions include limitations on the
      funds available for exchanges, the requirement to give advance notice
      of exchanges to the Transfer Agent, and limits on the amount of client
      assets that may be invested in a particular fund.  The Fund and its
      Transfer Agent may restrict or refuse bulk exchange requests submitted
      by a financial intermediary on behalf of a large number of accounts
      (including pursuant to the arrangements described above) if, in the
      Transfer Agent's judgment exercised in its discretion, those exchanges
      would be disruptive to either fund in the exchange transaction.

   o  The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
      time. The Fund may refuse any exchange order and is currently not
      obligated to provide notice before rejecting an exchange order.
   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.

o     The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
      time. The Fund may refuse any exchange order and is currently not
      obligated to provide notice before rejecting an exchange order.
   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.

o     Effective March 15, 2004, the Fund assesses a 2% fee on the proceeds of
      Fund shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to
      another Oppenheimer fund) within 30 days of their purchase. Further
      details are set forth under "How to Sell Shares - Redemption Fee" on
      page 24.

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.
A $12 annual "Minimum Balance Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a
      value of less than $500. The fee is automatically deducted from each
      applicable Fund account annually on or about the second to last
      "regular business day" of September.  See the Statement of Additional
      Information (shareholders may visit the OppenheimerFunds website) to
      learn how you can avoid this fee and for circumstances under which this
      fee will not be assessed.

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 or by Federal Funds wire (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 processing any type of redemption payment as
      described under "How to Sell Shares" 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.
Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the
      account value has fallen below $500 for reasons other than the fact
      that the market value of shares has dropped. In some cases involuntary
      redemptions may be made to repay the Distributor for losses from the
      cancellation of share purchase orders.
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. If the Fund redeems your shares in kind, you may
      bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such time as
      such securities are converted into cash.
Federal regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of
      birth (for a natural person), your residential street address or
      principal place of business and your Social Security Number, Employer
      Identification Number or other government issued identification when
      you open an account. Additional information may be required in certain
      circumstances or to open corporate accounts.  The Fund or the Transfer
      Agent may use this information to attempt to verify your identity.  The
      Fund may not be able to establish an account if the necessary
      information is not received.  The Fund may also place limits on account
      transactions while it is in the process of attempting to verify your
      identity.  Additionally, if the Fund is unable to verify your identity
      after your account is established, the Fund may be required to redeem
      your shares and close your account.
"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 1.800.225.5677. 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 on an annual basis and to pay them to
shareholders in December on a date selected by the Board of Trustees.
Dividends and distributions paid to Class A shares will generally be higher
than dividends for Class B, Class C and Class N shares, which normally have
higher expenses than Class A shares. 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.


      The Fund intends each year to qualify as a "regulated investment
company" under the Internal Revenue Code, but reserves the right not to
qualify. It qualified during its last fiscal year. The Fund, as a regulated
investment company, will not be subject to Federal income taxes on any of its
income, provided that it satisfies certain income, diversification and
distribution requirements.


Avoid "Buying a Distribution." If you buy shares on or just before the
      ex-dividend date or just before the Fund declares a capital gains
      distribution, you will pay the full price for the shares and then
      receive a portion of the price back as a taxable dividend or capital
      gain.
Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions.  Because the Fund's share
      prices fluctuate, you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or
      exchange your shares. A capital gain or loss is the difference between
      the price you paid for the shares and the price you 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.

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., (the "Manager") and sub-advisor, OpCap Advisors (the
"Sub-Advisor"), can select for the Fund.  Additional information is also
provided about the strategies that the Fund might 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 Fund's Sub-Advisor may use in
selecting portfolio securities will vary over time. The Fund is not required
to use all of the investment techniques and strategies described below at all
times in seeking its goal. It may use some of the special investment
techniques and strategies at some times or not at all.

      In selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio, the Sub-Advisor
evaluates the merits of particular securities primarily through the exercise
of its own investment analysis. In the case of corporate issuers, that
process may include, among other things, evaluation of the issuer's
historical operations, prospects for the industry of which the issuer is
part, the issuer's financial condition, its pending product developments and
business (and those of competitors), the effect of general market and
economic conditions on the issuer's business, and legislative proposals that
might affect the issuer.  In the case of foreign securities, when evaluating
the securities of issuers in a particular country, the Sub-Advisor may also
consider the conditions of a particular country's economy in relation to the
U.S. economy or other foreign economies, general political conditions in a
country or region, the effect of taxes, the efficiencies and costs of
particular markets and other factors.

|X|   Investments in Equity Securities. The Fund does not limit its
investments in equity securities to issuers having a market capitalization of
a specified size or range, and therefore the Fund can invest in securities of
small-, mid- and large-capitalization issuers. At times, the Fund may
increase the relative emphasis of its equity investments in securities of one
or more capitalization ranges, based upon the Sub-Advisor's judgment of where
the best market opportunities are to seek the Fund's objective. At times, the
market may favor or disfavor securities of issuers of a particular
capitalization range, and securities of small-capitalization issuers may be
subject to greater price volatility in general than securities of larger
companies. Therefore, if the Fund has substantial investments in
smaller-capitalization companies at times of market volatility, the Fund's
share price could fluctuate more than that of funds focusing on
larger-capitalization issuers.

o     Value Investing. In selecting equity investments for the Fund's
portfolio, the portfolio manager currently uses a value investing style. In
using a value approach, the portfolio manager seeks stock and other equity
securities that appear to be temporarily undervalued, by various measures,
such as price/earnings ratios. This approach is subject to change and may not
necessarily be used in all cases. Value investing seeks stocks having prices
that are low in relation to their real worth or future prospects, in the hope
that the Fund will realize appreciation in the value of its holdings when
other investors realize the intrinsic value of the stock.






      Using value investing requires research as to the issuer's underlying
financial condition and prospects. While there are a variety of measures that
can be used to identify these securities, the portfolio manager looks
primarily at the issuer's price/earnings ratio, which is the stock's price
divided by its earnings per share. A stock having a price/earnings ratio
lower than its historical range, or the market as a whole or that of similar
companies, may offer attractive investment opportunities.

o     Preferred Stocks. Preferred stocks are equity securities but have
certain attributes of debt securities. Preferred stock, unlike common stock,
has a stated dividend rate payable from the corporation's earnings. Preferred
stock dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative, participating, or
auction rate. "Cumulative" dividend provisions require all or a portion of
prior unpaid dividends to be paid before the issuer can pay dividends on
common shares.

      If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be
less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. Preferred
stock may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions for
their call or redemption prior to maturity which can have a negative effect
on their prices when interest prior to maturity rates decline. Preferred
stock may be "participating" stock, which means that it may be entitled to a
dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain cases.

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

o     Rights and Warrants. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its total assets
in warrants and rights. 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.

o     Convertible Securities.  Convertible securities are debt securities
that are convertible into an issuer's common stock. Convertible securities
rank senior to common stock in a corporation's capital structure and
therefore are subject to less risk than common stock in case of the issuer's
bankruptcy or liquidation.
      The value of a convertible security is a function of its "investment
value" and its "conversion value." If the investment value exceeds the
conversion value, the security will behave more like a debt security, and the
security's price will likely increase when interest rates fall and decrease
when interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds the investment
value, the security will behave more like an equity security: it will likely
sell at a premium over its conversion value, and its price will tend to
fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying security. Convertible
securities are subject to credit risks and interest rate risk as discussed
below under "Investments in Debt 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 by the Manager more as "equity equivalents."  In
those cases, the credit rating assigned to the security has less impact on
the Manager's investment decision than in the case of non-convertible
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.

|X|   Investments in Debt Securities. The Fund invests in a variety of
domestic and foreign debt securities, including corporate bonds, debentures
and other debt securities, and foreign and U.S. government securities
including mortgage-related securities, to seek investment income as part of
its investment objectives.  It might invest in them also to seek capital
growth or for liquidity or defensive purposes.  Although the Fund will invest
at least 25% of its total assets in fixed-income senior securities, the Fund
emphasizes investments in equity securities.  Foreign debt securities are
subject to the risks of foreign investing described below.  In general,
domestic and foreign debt securities are also subject to credit risk and
interest rate risk.

o     Credit Risk.  Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a
debt security to meet interest and principal payment obligations as they
become due.  In making investments in debt securities, the Sub-Advisor may
rely to some extent on the ratings of ratings organizations or it may use its
own research to evaluate a security's creditworthiness. The Fund's debt
investments can include investment-grade bonds and non-investment grade bonds
(commonly referred to as "junk bonds").  Investment-grade bonds are bonds
rated at least "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), at least
"BBB" by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("Standard & Poor's") or Fitch,
Inc. ("Fitch"), or that have comparable ratings by another nationally
recognized rating organization. If securities the Fund buys are unrated, to
be considered part of the Fund's holdings of investment-grade securities,
they must be judged by the Sub-Advisor to be of comparable quality to bonds
rated as investment grade by a rating organization. The debt securities
rating definitions of the Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch are included
in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information.

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

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

o     Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. The Fund can invest up to 25%
of its total assets in lower-grade debt securities.  Because lower-grade
securities tend to offer higher yields than investment-grade securities, the
Fund may invest in lower-grade securities if the Sub-Advisor is trying to
achieve greater income. In some cases, the appreciation possibilities of
lower-grade securities may be a reason they are selected for the Fund's
portfolio.

      "Lower-grade" debt securities are those rated below "investment grade,"
which means they have a rating lower than "Baa" by Moody's or lower than
"BBB" by Standard & Poor's or Fitch, or similar ratings by other nationally
recognized rating organizations. If they are unrated, and are determined by
the Sub-Advisor to be of comparable quality to debt securities rated below
investment grade, they are included in determining the maximum amount of  the
Fund's assets that can be invested in lower-grade securities under the 25%
limitation.  The Fund can invest in securities rated as low as "Caa" by
Moody's or "CCC" by Standard and Poor's, although it does not intend to
invest in securities in those ratings categories.

      Some of the special credit risks of lower-grade securities are
discussed in the Prospectus. There is a greater risk that the issuer may
default on its obligation to pay interest or to repay principal than in the
case of investment grade securities. The issuer's low creditworthiness may
increase the potential for its insolvency. An overall decline in values in
the high yield bond market is also more likely during a period of a general
economic downturn. An economic downturn or an increase in interest rates
could severely disrupt the market for high yield bonds, adversely affecting
the values of outstanding bonds as well as the ability of issuers to pay
interest or repay principal. In the case of foreign high yield bonds, these
risks are in addition to the special risks of foreign investing discussed in
the Prospectus and in this Statement of Additional Information.

      However, the Fund's limitations on these investments may reduce some of
the risks to the Fund, as will the Fund's policy of diversifying its
investments. Additionally, to the extent they can be converted into stock,
convertible securities may be less subject to some of these risks than
non-convertible high yield bonds, since stock may be more liquid and less
affected by some of these risk factors.

      While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by Standard & Poor's
 or Fitch are investment grade and are not regarded as junk bonds, those
 securities may be subject to special risks, and have some speculative
 characteristics.

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


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

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

      In periods of declining interest rates, mortgages are more likely to be
prepaid. Therefore, a mortgage-related security's maturity can be shortened
by unscheduled prepayments on the underlying mortgages. Therefore, it is not
possible to predict accurately the security's yield. The principal that is
returned earlier than expected may have to be reinvested in other investments
having a lower yield than the prepaid security. Therefore, these securities
may be less effective as a means of "locking in" attractive long-term
interest rates, and they may have less potential for appreciation during
periods of declining interest rates, than conventional bonds with comparable
stated maturities.

      Prepayment risks can lead to substantial fluctuations in the value of a
mortgage-related security. In turn, this can affect the value of the Fund's
shares. If a mortgage-related security has been purchased at a premium, all
or part of the premium the Fund paid may be lost if there is a decline in the
market value of the security, whether that results from interest rate changes
or prepayments on the underlying mortgages. In the case of stripped
mortgage-related securities, if they experience greater rates of prepayment
than were anticipated, the Fund may fail to recoup its initial investment on
the security.

      If interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments may occur at a slower rate
than expected and the expected maturity of long-term or medium-term
securities could lengthen as a result. Generally, that would cause their
value and the prices of the Fund's share to fluctuate more widely in response
to changes in interest rates.

      As with other debt securities, the values of mortgage-related
securities may be affected by changes in the market's perception of the
creditworthiness of the entity issuing the securities or guaranteeing them.
Their values may also be affected by changes in government regulations and
tax policies.

o     Collateralized Mortgage Obligations. CMOs are multi-class bonds that
 are backed by pools of mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through certificates.
 They may be collateralized by:
(1)   pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie
               Mae, or Freddie Mac,
(2)   unsecuritized mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing
               Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans'
               Affairs,
(3)   unsecuritized conventional mortgages,
(4)   other mortgage-related securities, or
(5)   any combination of these.
      Each class of CMO, referred to as a "tranche," is issued at a specific
coupon rate and has a stated maturity or final distribution date. Principal
prepayments on the underlying mortgages may cause the CMO to be retired much
earlier than the stated maturity or final distribution date. The principal
and interest on the underlying mortgages may be allocated among the several
classes of a series of a CMO in different ways. One or more tranches may have
coupon rates that reset periodically at a specified increase over an index.
These are floating rate CMOs, and typically have a cap on the coupon rate.
Inverse floating rate CMOs have a coupon rate that moves in the reverse
direction to an applicable index. The coupon rate on these CMOs will increase
as general interest rates decrease. These are usually much more volatile than
fixed rate CMOs or floating rate CMOs.

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

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

o     Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities. The Fund can buy these U.S.
 Treasury securities, called "TIPS," that are designed to provide an
 investment vehicle that is not vulnerable to inflation. The interest rate
 paid by TIPS is fixed. The principal value rises or falls semi-annually
 based on changes in the published Consumer Price Index. If inflation occurs,
 the principal and interest payments on TIPS are adjusted to protect
 investors from inflationary loss. If deflation occurs, the principal and
 interest payments will be adjusted downward, although the principal will not
 fall below its face amount at maturity.

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

o     U.S. Government Mortgage-Related Securities. The Fund can invest in a
 variety of mortgage-related securities that are issued by U.S. government
 agencies or instrumentalities, some of which are described below.

|X|   Money Market Instruments. The following is a brief description of the
types of money market securities the Fund can invest in.  Those money market
securities are high-quality, short-term debt instruments that are issued by
the U.S. government, corporations, banks or other entities.  They may have
fixed, variable or floating interest rates.

o     U.S. Government Securities.  These include obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, as described above.

o     Bank Obligations.  The Fund can buy time deposits, certificates of
deposit and bankers' acceptances.  Time deposits, other than overnight
deposits, may be subject to withdrawal penalties, and if so, they are deemed
to be "illiquid" investments.

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

o     Commercial Paper.  The Fund can invest in commercial paper if it is
 rated within the top two rating categories of Standard & Poor's and Moody's.
 If the paper is not rated, it may be purchased if issued by a company having
 a credit rating of at least "AA" by Standard & Poor's or "Aa" by Moody's.

      The Fund can buy commercial paper, including U.S. dollar-denominated
securities of foreign branches of U.S. banks, issued by other entities if the
commercial paper is guaranteed as to principal and interest by a bank,
government or corporation whose certificates of deposit or commercial paper
may otherwise be purchased by the Fund.

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

      Because these notes are direct lending arrangements between the lender
and borrower, it is not expected that there will be a trading market for
them. There is no secondary market for these notes, although they are
redeemable (and thus are immediately repayable by the borrower) at principal
amount, plus accrued interest, at any time.  Accordingly, the Fund's right to
redeem such notes is dependent upon the ability of the borrower to pay
principal and interest on demand.
      The Fund has no limitations on the type of issuer from whom these notes
will be purchased. However, in connection with such purchases and on an
ongoing basis, the Sub-Advisor will consider the earning power, cash flow and
other liquidity ratios of the issuer, and its ability to pay principal and
interest on demand, including a situation in which all holders of such notes
made demand simultaneously.  Investments in master demand notes are subject
to the limitation on investments by the Fund in illiquid securities,
described in the Prospectus. The Fund does not intend that its investments in
variable amount master demand notes will exceed 5% of its total assets.

|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% annually. The Fund's portfolio turnover
rate will fluctuate from year to year, and may be in excess of 100%
annually.  Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and
transaction costs for the Fund.  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 may from time to time 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.

|X|   Foreign Securities. The Fund can purchase equity and debt securities
issued by foreign companies or foreign governments or their agencies.
"Foreign securities" include equity and debt securities of companies
organized under the laws of countries other than the United States and debt
securities of foreign governments and their agencies and instrumentalities.
Those securities 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 considered "foreign
securities" for the purpose of the Fund's investment allocations. That is
because they are subject to many of the special considerations and risks,
discussed below, that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

      Because the Fund can purchase securities denominated in foreign
currencies, a change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S.
dollar could result in a change in the amount of income the Fund has
available for distribution.  Because a portion of the Fund's investment
income may be received in foreign currencies, the Fund will be required to
compute its income in U.S. dollars for distribution to shareholders, and
therefore the Fund will absorb the cost of currency fluctuations.  After the
Fund has distributed income, subsequent foreign currency losses may result in
the Fund's having distributed more income in a particular fiscal period than
was available from investment income, which could result in a return of
capital to shareholders.

      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.

o     Foreign Debt Obligations. The debt obligations of foreign governments
 and their agencies and instrumentalities may or may not be supported by the
 full faith and credit of the foreign government. The Fund can buy securities
 issued by certain "supra-national" entities, which include entities
 designated or supported by governments to promote economic reconstruction or
 development, international banking organizations and related government
 agencies. Examples are the International Bank for Reconstruction and
 Development (commonly called the "World Bank"), the Asian Development Bank
 and the Inter-American Development Bank.

      The governmental members of these supra-national entities are
"stockholders" that typically make capital contributions and may be committed
to make additional capital contributions if the entity is unable to repay its
borrowings. A supra-national entity's lending activities may be limited to a
percentage of its total capital, reserves and net income. There can be no
assurance that the constituent foreign governments will continue to be able
or willing to honor their capitalization commitments for those entities.

o     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.

o     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. The Sub-Advisor will consider these factors when evaluating
 securities in these markets, because the selection of those securities must
 be consistent with the Fund's goal of growth of capital and investment
 income.

|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 may be subject to 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.

|X|   "When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions.  The Fund can invest
in securities on a "when-issued" basis and can purchase or sell securities on
a "delayed-delivery" or "forward commitment" basis.  When-issued and
delayed-delivery are terms that refer to securities whose terms and indenture
are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for
immediate delivery.

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

      The Fund can engage in when-issued transactions to secure what the
Sub-Advisor considers to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of
entering into the obligation. When the Fund enters into a when-issued or
delayed-delivery transaction, it relies on the other party to complete the
transaction. Its failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity
to obtain the security at a price and yield the Sub-Advisor considers to be
advantageous.

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

      At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase or sell a
security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it records the
transaction on its books and reflects the value of the security purchased in
determining the Fund's net asset value.  In a sale transaction, it records
the proceeds to be received. The Fund will identify on its books liquid
assets at least equal in value to the value of the Fund's purchase
commitments until the Fund pays for the investment. The Fund will not enter
into when-issued commitments if more than 15% of the Fund's net assets would
be committed under these transactions.

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

|X|   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.

      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 Manager from time to time.

      The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery
pursuant to the resale typically occurs within one to five days of the
purchase. Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are
subject to 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 Sub-Advisor will monitor the vendor's
creditworthiness to confirm that the vendor is financially sound and will
continuously monitor the collateral's value.

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

o     Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund can use reverse repurchase
agreements on debt obligations it owns. Under a reverse repurchase agreement,
the Fund sells an underlying debt obligation and simultaneously agrees to
repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price at an agreed-upon date.
The Fund will identify on its books liquid assets in an amount sufficient to
cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements, including
interest, until payment is made to the seller.

      These transactions involve the risk that the market value of the
securities sold by the Fund under a reverse repurchase agreement could
decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase them.
These agreements are considered borrowings by the Fund and will be subject to
the asset coverage requirement under the Fund's policy on borrowing discussed
below.

|X|   Illiquid and Restricted Securities.  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 may 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 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
and the Sub-Advisor 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.

|X|   Participation Interests. The Fund can invest in participation
interests, subject to the Fund's limitation on investments in illiquid
investments. A participation interest is an undivided interest in a loan
made by the issuing financial institution in the proportion that the
buyer's participation interest bears to the total principal amount of the
loan. No more than 5% of the Fund's net assets can be invested in
participation interests of the same borrower. The issuing financial
institution may have no obligation to the Fund other than to pay the Fund
the proportionate amount of the principal and interest payments it
receives.
      Participation interests are primarily dependent upon the
creditworthiness of the borrowing corporation, which is obligated to make
payments of principal and interest on the loan. There is a risk that a
borrower may have difficulty making payments. If a borrower fails to pay
scheduled interest or principal payments, the Fund could experience a
reduction in its income. The value of that participation interest might
also decline, which could affect the net asset value of the Fund's shares.
If the issuing financial institution fails to perform its obligations
under the participation agreement, the Fund might incur costs and delays
in realizing payment and suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

|X|   Loans of Portfolio Securities.  The Fund may lend its portfolio
securities pursuant to the Securities Lending Agreement  (the "Securities
Lending Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase, subject to the restrictions
stated in the Prospectus. The Fund will lend such portfolio securities to
attempt to increase the Fund's income. Under the Securities Lending
Agreement and applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to
change), the loan collateral must, on each business day, be at least equal
to the value of the loaned securities and must consist of cash, bank
letters of credit or 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 to JP Morgan Chase, as agent, amounts demanded
by the Fund if the demand meets the terms of the letter.  Such terms of
the letter of credit and the issuing bank must be satisfactory to JP
Morgan Chase and the Fund.  The Fund will receive, pursuant to the
Securities Lending Agreement, 80% of all annual net income (i.e., net of
rebates to the Borrower) from securities lending transactions. JP Morgan
Chase has agreed, in general, to guarantee the obligations of borrowers to
return loaned securities and to be responsible for expenses relating to
securities lending. The Fund will be responsible, however, for risks
associated with the investment of cash collateral, including the risk that
the issuer of the security in which the cash collateral has been invested
defaults.  The Securities Lending Agreement may be terminated by either JP
Morgan Chase or the Fund on 30 days' written notice. The terms of the
Fund's loans must also meet applicable tests under the Internal Revenue
Code and permit the Fund to reacquire loaned securities on five business
days' notice or in time to vote on any important matter.

|X|   Hedging. Although the Fund can use hedging instruments, it is not
obligated to use them in seeking its objective. It does not currently
contemplate using them to any significant degree.  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
that have appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment
reasons, the Fund could:
o     sell futures contracts,
o     buy puts on such futures or on securities, or
o     write covered calls on securities or futures.  Covered calls could also
            be used to increase the Fund's income, but the Sub-Advisor
            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:
o     buy futures, or
o     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.

o     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) foreign currencies (these are referred to as "forward
contracts"), an (3) individual stock ("single stock futures") and (4)
commodities (these are referred to as "commodity futures").

      A broadly-based stock index is used as the basis for trading stock
index futures. These indices 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. 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.

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

      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 money 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.

o     Put and Call Options. The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of put
options ("puts") and call options ("calls"). The Fund can buy and sell
exchange-traded and over-the-counter put and call options, including options
on broadly-based indices, securities, foreign currencies and stock index
futures.

o     Writing Covered Call Options. The Fund can write (that is, sell)
covered calls. If the Fund sells a call option, it must be covered.  For
options on securities, that means the Fund must own the security subject to
the call while the call is outstanding. For stock index options, that means
the call must be covered by segregating liquid assets to enable the Fund to
satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised.  The Trustees have adopted
an operating policy that the Fund may not write covered call options (or
write put options) with respect to more than 5% of the value of the Fund's
total assets.

      When the Fund writes a call on a security, it receives cash (a
premium). For calls on securities, 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 a call on a stock index 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.

      Settlement of puts and calls on broadly-based stock indices is in cash.
Gain or loss on options on stock indices depends on changes in the index in
question (and thus on price movements in the stock market generally).

      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.







      If the Fund writes an over-the-counter ("OTC") option, it will enter
into an arrangement with a primary U.S. government securities dealer which
will establish a formula price at which the Fund will have the absolute right
to repurchase that OTC option.  The formula price will generally be based on
a multiple of the premium received for the option, plus the amount by which
the option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying security
(that is, the option is "in the money").  If the Fund writes an OTC option,
it will treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding
illiquid securities) the mark-to-market value of any OTC option it holds,
unless the option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.

      To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, the 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 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 escrowed assets in escrow 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.

o     Writing Put Options. The Fund can sell put options on stock indices,
foreign currencies or stock index futures. A put option on securities gives
the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the
underlying investment of the exercise price during the option period. If the
Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by liquid assets identified on the
Fund's books in an amount at least equal to the exercise price of the
underlying securities.  The Fund therefore forgoes the opportunity of
investing the segregated assets or writing calls against those assets.

      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 settle the transaction in cash with the buyer of
the put at the exercise price, even if the value of the underlying 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 settle in cash at the exercise price. That price will
usually exceed the market value of the investment at that time.  In that
case, the fund might 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.

      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 settle the transaction in cash at
the exercise price.  The Fund has no control over when it may be required to
settle the transaction, 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. 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.

o     Purchasing Calls and Puts. The Fund can buy 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. Buying a call on
a security or future gives the Fund 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.

      In the case of a purchase of a call on a stock index, if the Fund
exercises the call during the call period, a seller of a corresponding call
on the same index will pay the Fund an amount of cash to settle the call if
the closing level of the stock index upon which the call is based is greater
than the exercise price of the call.  That cash payment is equal to the
difference between the closing price of the call and the exercise price of
the call times a specified multiple (the "multiplier") which determines the
total dollar value for each point of difference.

      When the Fund buys a put, it pays a premium. It has the right during
the put period to require a seller of a corresponding put, upon the Fund's
exercise of its put, to buy the underlying security (in the case of puts on
securities or futures) or in the case of puts on stock indices, to deliver
cash to the Fund to settle the put if the closing level of the stock index
upon which the put is based is less than the exercise price of the put.  That
cash payment is determined by the multiplier, in the same manner as described
above as to calls.

      Buying a put on a security or future enables the Fund to sell the
underlying investment to a seller of a corresponding put on the same
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.

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

      When the Fund purchases a put on a stock index, the put protects the
Fund to the extent that the index moves in a similar pattern to the
securities the Fund holds.  The Fund can resell the put. The resale price of
the put will vary inversely with the price of the underlying investment.  If
the market price of the underlying investment is above the exercise price,
and as a result the put is not exercised, the put will become worthless on
the expiration date.  In the event of a decline in price of the underlying
investment, the Fund could exercise or sell the put at a profit to attempt to
offset some or all of its loss on its portfolio securities. The Fund may buy
a call or put 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.

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

      If the Sub-Advisor anticipates a rise in the dollar value of a foreign
currency in which securities to be acquired are denominated, the increased
cost of those securities may be partially offset by purchasing calls or
writing puts on that foreign currency.  If the Sub-Advisor anticipates a
decline in the dollar value of a foreign currency, the decline in the dollar
value of portfolio securities denominated in that currency might be partially
offset by writing calls or purchasing puts on that foreign currency.
However, the currency rates could fluctuate in a direction adverse to the
Fund's position. The Fund will then have incurred option premium payments and
transaction costs without a corresponding benefit.

      A call the Fund writes on a foreign currency is "covered" if the Fund
owns the underlying foreign currency covered by the call or has an absolute
and immediate right to acquire that foreign currency without additional cash
consideration (or it can do so for additional cash consideration held in a
segregated account by its custodian bank) upon conversion or exchange of
other foreign currency held in its portfolio.

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

      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 put, or buys or sells an underlying investment in
connection with the exercise of a call or put.  Those commissions could be
higher on a relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales
of the underlying investments.  Premiums paid for options are small in
relation to the market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, put
and call options offer large amounts of leverage. The leverage offered by
trading in options could result in 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.

o     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 a substantial decline against the
U.S. dollar, it could 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
on its books liquid 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 Sub-Advisor 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 transaction 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.

o     Regulatory Aspects of Hedging Instruments.  The Commodities Futures
Trading Commission (the "CFTC") recently eliminated limitations on futures
trading by certain regulated entities including registered investment
companies and consequently registered investment companies may engage in
unlimited futures transactions and options thereon provided that the Fund
claims an exclusion from regulation as a commodity pool operator. The Fund
has claimed such an exclusion from registration as a commodity pool operator
under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA"). The Fund may use futures and
options for hedging and non-hedging purposes to the extent consistent with
its investment objective, internal risk management guidelines adopted by the
Fund's investment advisor (as they may be amended from time to time), and as
otherwise set forth in the Fund's prospectus or this statement of additional
information.

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

o     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 income available for distribution to its
shareholders.

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 Fund's 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
Sub-Advisor 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|   Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments.  When market, economic or
political conditions are unstable, or the Sub-Advisor believes it is
otherwise appropriate to reduce holdings in stocks, the Fund can invest in a
variety of debt securities for defensive purposes and the types of money
market instruments described above. 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 to reinvest cash received from the sale
of other portfolio securities. The Fund can buy:
o     obligations issued or guaranteed by the U. S. government or its
         instrumentalities or agencies,
o     commercial paper (short-term, unsecured, promissory notes of domestic
         or foreign companies) rated in the top two rating categories of a
         nationally-recognized rating organization,
o     short-term debt obligations of corporate issuers, rated investment
         grade (rated at least Baa by Moody's or at least BBB by Standard &
         Poor's, or a comparable rating by another rating organization), or
         unrated securities judged by the Sub-Advisor to have a comparable
         quality to rated securities in those categories,
o     certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances of domestic and
         foreign banks  having total assets in excess of $1 billion, 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.

Other 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 principal investment policies are
described in the Prospectus.

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

o     The Fund cannot invest in physical commodities or physical commodity
contracts. However, the Fund may buy and sell hedging instruments to the
extent specified in its Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
from time to time. The Fund can also buy and sell options, futures, and
securities or other instruments backed by physical commodities or whose
investment return is linked to changes in the price of physical commodities.

o     The Fund cannot invest in real estate or real estate limited
partnerships (direct participation programs). However, the Fund can purchase
securities of issuers that engage in real estate operations and securities
that are secured by real estate or interests in real estate.

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 securities of any issuer if, to the knowledge
of the Trust, any officer or trustee of the Trust or any officer or director
of the Manager or Sub-Advisor owns more than 1/2 of 1% of the outstanding
securities of that issuer, and who together own more 5% of the outstanding
securities of that issuer.

o     The Fund cannot pledge its assets, or assign or otherwise encumber its
assets in an amount in excess of 10% of the value of its net assets. It can
pledge, assign or encumber its assets only to secure borrowings that comply
with the limits set forth in the Fund's Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information.

o     The Fund cannot invest for the purpose of exercising control or
management of another company.

o     The Fund cannot issue senior securities (as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940). However, the Fund can enter into repurchase agreements,
borrow money in accordance with the restrictions set forth in its other
fundamental policies and lend its portfolio securities.
o     The Fund cannot make loans to any person or individual. However,
portfolio securities may be loaned by the Fund within the limits set forth in
the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

o     The Fund cannot invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in
the securities of any one issuer. This restriction applies to 75% of its
total assets.

o     The Fund cannot purchase more than 10% of the voting securities of any
one issuer (other than the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities).  This restriction applies to 75% of the Fund's total
assets.

o     The Fund cannot concentrate its investments in any particular industry.
However, if it is deemed appropriate to help the Fund attain its investment
objective, the Fund may invest up to but less than 25% of its total assets
(valued at the time of investment) in any one industry classification used by
the Fund for investment purposes. For this purpose, a foreign government is
considered to be an industry.

o     The Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33-1/3% of the value of the
Fund's total assets. The Fund may borrow only from banks and only as a
temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes.  The Fund will
make no additional investments while borrowings exceed 5% of the Fund's total
assets.  With respect to this fundamental policy, the Fund can borrow only if
it maintains a 300% ratio of assets to borrowings at all times in the manner
set forth in the Investment Company Act.

|X|   Does the Fund Have Any Restrictions That Are Not Fundamental? The Fund
has a number of other investment restrictions that are not fundamental
policies, which means that they can be changed by the Board of Trustees
without shareholder approval.

o     The Fund cannot make short sales or purchase securities on margin.
However, the Fund can make short-term borrowings when necessary for the
clearance of purchases of portfolio securities. Collateral arrangements in
connection with futures and options transactions are not deemed to be margin
transactions under this restriction.

o     The Fund cannot invest in interests in oil, gas or other mineral
exploration or development programs or leases.


o     The Fund cannot invest in the securities of other registered investment
companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on sub-paragraph
(F) or (G) of section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act.


      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 (except in the case of
borrowing and investments in illiquid securities). 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 B to this Statement of Additional Information.  This is not a
fundamental policy.


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

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

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

A list of the top 20 portfolio securities holdings (based on invested
assets), listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each month, may be
disclosed to third parties (subject to the procedures below) no sooner than
15 days after month-end.  The top 20 holdings also shall be posted on the
Companies' website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com in the "Fund Profiles"
section.  Other general information about a Fund's portfolio investments,
such as portfolio composition by asset class, industry, country, currency,
credit rating or maturity, may also be posted with a 15-day lag.

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

o     The third-party recipient must first submit a request for release of
         Fund portfolio holdings, explaining the business reason for the
         request;
o     Senior officers (a Senior Vice President or above) in the Investment
         Advisor's Portfolio and Legal departments must approve the completed
         request for release of Fund portfolio holdings; and
o     The third-party recipient must sign the Investment Advisor's portfolio
         holdings non-disclosure agreement before receiving the data,
         agreeing to keep confidential information that is not publicly
         available regarding a Fund's holdings and agreeing not to trade
         directly or indirectly based on the information.

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

o     Employees of the Fund's Investment Advisor, Distributor and Transfer
         Agent who need to have access to such information (as determined by
         senior officers of such entity),
o     The Fund's certified public accountants and auditors,
o     Members of the Fund's Board and the Board's legal counsel,
o     The Fund's custodian bank,
o     A proxy voting service designated by the Fund and its Board,
o     Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper and Morningstar),
o     Portfolio pricing services retained by the Investment Advisor to
         provide portfolio security prices, and
o     Dealers, to obtain bids (price quotations, because securities are not
         priced by the Fund's regular pricing services).

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

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

o     Brokers and dealers in connection with portfolio transactions
         (purchases and sales)
o     Brokers and dealers to obtain bids or bid and asked prices (if
         securities held by a Fund are not priced by the fund's regular
         pricing services)
o     Dealers to obtain price quotations where the fund is not identified as
         the owner

Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on a Fund's
entire portfolio or individual securities therein) may be provided by senior
officers of the Investment Advisor or attorneys on the legal staff of the
Investment Advisor, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, in the following
circumstances:

o     Response to legal process in litigation matters, such as responses to
         subpoenas or in class action matters where the Fund may be part of
         the plaintiff class (and seeks recovery for losses on a security) or
         a defendant,
o     Response to regulatory requests for information (the SEC, NASD, state
         securities regulators, and/or foreign securities authorities,
         including without limitation requests for information in inspections
         or for position reporting purposes),
o     To potential sub-advisors of portfolios (but only pursuant to
         confidentiality agreements),
o     To consultants for retirement plans for plan sponsors/discussions at
         due diligence meetings (if entire portfolio holdings are provided,
         however, it shall be done only pursuant to a confidentiality
         agreement),
o     Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (but only
         pursuant to confidentiality agreements)

Portfolio managers and analysts may, subject to the Investment Advisor's
policies on communications with the press and other media, discuss portfolio
information in interviews with members of the media, or in due diligence or
similar meetings with clients or prospective purchasers of Fund shares or
their financial intermediary representatives.

The Fund's shareholders may, under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of
liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions), receive redemption
proceeds of their Fund shares paid as pro rata shares of securities held in
the Fund's portfolio.  In such circumstances, disclosure of the Fund's
portfolio holdings may be made to such shareholders.

The Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund and the Investment Advisor,
Distributor, and Transfer Agent (the "CCO") shall oversee the compliance by
the Investment Advisor, Distributor, Transfer Agent, and their personnel with
these policies and procedures. At least annually, the CCO shall report to the
Fund Board on such compliance oversight and on the categories of entities and
individuals to which disclosure of portfolio holdings of the Funds has been
made during the preceding year pursuant to these policies. The CCO shall
report to the Fund Board any material violation of these policies and
procedures during the previous calendar quarter and shall make
recommendations to the Companies and to the Boards as to any amendments that
the CCO believes are necessary and desirable to carry out or improve these
policies and procedures.

The Investment Advisor and/or the Fund have entered into ongoing arrangements
to make available information about the Fund's portfolio holdings.  One or
more of the Oppenheimer funds may currently disclose portfolio holdings
information based on ongoing arrangements to the following parties:

How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History.  The Fund is an open-end, diversified management
investment company. The Fund is one of three series of Oppenheimer Quest For
Value Funds, an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust in April 1987 (and which is referred to as the
"Trust").

|X|   Classes of Shares. The Trustees are authorized, without shareholder
approval, 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.

      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.  Only  retirement  plans may purchase Class N shares.  Only certain
institutional  investors may elect to purchase  Class Y shares.  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.

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

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


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

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

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees. The Fund is governed by a Board
of Trustees, which is responsible for protecting the interests of
shareholders under 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.

      The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee which is comprised solely
of Independent Trustees. The members of the Audit Committee Paul Y. Clinton
(Chairman), Thomas W. Courtney, Robert G. Galli, Lacy B. Herrmann and Brian
Wruble.  The Audit Committee met ___ times during the Fund's fiscal year
ended October 31, 2004. The Audit Committee furnishes the Board with
recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's independent auditor.

      The Audit Committee's functions include selecting and nominating, to
the full Board, nominees for election as Directors and selecting and
nominating Independent Trustees for election.  The Audit Committee may, but
need not, consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and its
affiliates in selecting nominees.  The full Board elects new Trustees except
for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

      To date, the Committee has been able to identify from its own resources
an ample number of qualified candidates.  Nonetheless, shareholders may
submit names of individuals, accompanied by complete and properly supported
resumes, for the Audit Committee's consideration by mailing such information
to the Committee in care of the Fund.  The Committee may consider such
persons at such time as it meets to consider possible nominees.  The
Committee, however, reserves sole discretion to determine the candidates to
present to the Board and/or shareholders when it meets for the purpose of
considering potential nominees.


Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Each of the Trustees is an "Independent
Trustee" under the Investment Company Act. The Fund's Trustees and officers
and their positions held with the Fund and length of service in such
position(s) and their principal occupations and business affiliations during
the past five years are listed in the chart below. The information for the
Trustees also includes the dollar range of shares of the Fund as well as the
aggregate dollar range of shares beneficially owned in any of the Oppenheimer
funds overseen by the Trustees. All of the Trustees are also trustees or
directors of the following Oppenheimer funds (referred to as "Board III
Funds"):

Oppenheimer  Quest  For  Value  Funds,  a
series  fund having the  following  three
series:

  Oppenheimer Small Cap Value Fund,       Oppenheimer Quest International Value
                                          Fund, Inc.

  Oppenheimer  Quest  Balanced Value Fund Oppenheimer Quest Capital Value Fund,
  and                                     Inc.
  Oppenheimer   Quest  Opportunity  Value Oppenheimer Quest Value Fund, Inc.

York Municipal Fund                       Securities Fund
Rochester Fund Municipals                 Oppenheimer MidCap Fund

      In addition to being a trustee or director of the Board III Funds, Mr.
Galli is also a director or trustee of 25 other portfolios in the
OppenheimerFunds complex. Present or former officers, directors, trustees and
employees (and their immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and
its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their employees
are permitted to purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other
Oppenheimer funds at net asset value without sales charge. The sales charge
on Class A shares is waived for that group because of the economies of sales
efforts realized by the Distributor.


      Messrs. Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey, Vottiero, Wixted and Zack and Mses.
Bloomberg and Ives, who are officers of the Fund, respectively hold the same
offices of one or more of the other Board III Funds as with the Fund.  As of
January 31, 2005, the Trustees and officers of the Fund, as a group, owned of
record or beneficially less than 1% of each class of shares of the Fund. The
foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares of the Fund held of
record by an employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than
the shares beneficially owned under the plan by the officers of the Fund
listed above. In addition, each Independent Trustee, and their family
members, do not own securities of either the Manager or Distributor or
Sub-Advisor of the Board III Funds or any person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager,
Distributor or Sub-Advisor.


      The address of each Trustee in the chart below is 6803 S. Tucson Way,
Centennial, CO 80112-3924. Each Trustee serves for an indefinite term, until
his or her resignation, retirement, death or removal.

* For purposes of this section only, "Fund Complex" includes the Oppenheimer
funds, PIMCO Advisors VIT (formerly OCC Accumulation Trust) and OCC Cash

|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 Funds for at least seven years in order to be eligible for
retirement plan benefits and must serve for at least 15 years to be eligible
for the maximum benefit. Each Trustee's retirement benefits will depend on
the amount of the Trustee's future compensation and length of service.


|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 is 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 SEC, 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 January __, 2005, the only persons who owned

|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 SEC and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public
Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain information about the hours
of operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at

|X|   Portfolio Proxy Voting.  The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting
Policies and Procedures under which the Fund votes proxies relating to
securities ("portfolio proxies") held by the Fund. The Fund's primary
consideration in voting portfolio proxies is the financial interests of the
Fund and its shareholders. The Fund has retained an unaffiliated third-party
as its agent to vote portfolio proxies in accordance with the Fund's
Portfolio Proxy Voting Guidelines and to maintain records of such portfolio
proxy voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines include provisions to address
conflicts of interest that may arise between the Fund and OFI where an OFI
directly-controlled affiliate manages or administers the assets of a pension
plan of a company soliciting the proxy. The Fund's Portfolio Proxy Voting
Guidelines on routine and non-routine proxy proposals are summarized below.

o     The Fund votes with the recommendation of the issuer's management on
            routine matters, including election of directors nominated by
            management and ratification of auditors, unless circumstances
            indicate otherwise.
o     In general, the Fund opposes anti-takeover proposals and supports
            elimination of anti-takeover proposals, absent unusual
            circumstances.
o     The Fund supports shareholder proposals to reduce a super-majority vote
            requirement, and opposes management proposals to add a
            super-majority vote requirement.
o     The Fund opposes proposals to classify the board of directors.
o     The Fund supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.
o     The Fund opposes re-pricing of stock options.
o     The Fund generally considers executive compensation questions such as
            stock option plans and bonus plans to be ordinary business
            activity. The Fund analyzes stock option plans, paying particular
            attention to their dilutive effect. While the Fund generally
            supports management proposals, the Fund opposes plans it
            considers to be excessive.


      The Fund is required to file new Form N-PX, with its complete
proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August
31st of each year. The Fund's Form N-PX filing is available (i) without
charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at  1.800.525-7048 and
(ii) on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
                             -----------

|X|   The Investment Advisory Agreement. The Manager provides investment
advisory and management services to the Fund under an investment advisory
agreement between the Manager and Fund's parent Trust.  The Manager handles
the Fund's day-to-day business, and the agreement permits the Manager to
enter into sub-advisory agreements with other registered investment advisers
to obtain specialized services for the Fund, as long as the Fund is not
obligated to pay any additional fees for those services.  If the Manager has
retained the Sub-Advisor pursuant to a separate Sub-Advisory Agreement,
described below, under which the Sub-Advisor buys and sells portfolio
securities for the Fund. The portfolio manager of the Fund is employed by the
Sub-Advisor and is the person who is principally responsible for the
day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio, as described below.


      The investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Manager
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. Expenses for the Trust's three series are allocated to
the series in proportion to their net assets, unless allocations of expenses
can be made directly to a series. The investment advisory agreement lists
examples of expenses paid by the Fund. The major categories relate to
calculation of the Fund's net asset values per share, 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 management fees paid by the Fund to the Manager during its last three
fiscal years were:

         1.The Manager, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Advisor an annual
           sub-advisory fee. For fiscal  year 2002, 2003 and 2004,
           this sub-advisory fee was $________, $________ and
           $________, respectively.


      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 resulting from a
good faith error or omission on its part with respect to any of its duties
under the agreement.


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


         |X|      Annual Approval of Investment Advisory and Sub-Advisory
Agreement. Each year, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the
Independent Trustees, is required to approve the renewal of the investment
advisory agreement and sub-advisory agreement. The Investment Company Act
requires that the Board request and evaluate the Manager and Sub-Advisor and
provide such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms
of the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements.  The Board employs an
independent consultant to prepare a report that provides such information as
the Board requests for this purpose.

      The Board also receives information about the 12b-1 distribution fees
the Fund pays.  These distribution fees are reviewed and approved at a
different time of the year.

      The Board reviewed the foregoing information in arriving at its
decision to renew the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements.  Among
other factors, the Board considered:
o     The nature, cost, and quality of the services provided to the Fund and
         its shareholders;

o     The profitability of the Fund to the Manager and [Sub-Advisor];
o     The investment performance of the Fund in comparison to regular market

         indices;

o     Economies of scale that may be available to the Fund from the Manager
         and [Sub-Advisor];

o     Fees paid by other mutual funds for similar services;
o     The value and quality of any other benefits or services received by the
         Fund from its relationship with the Manager and Sub-Advisor, and
o     The direct and indirect benefits the Manager and Sub-Advisor received
         from its relationship with the Fund.  These included services
         provided by the Distributor and the Transfer Agent, and brokerage
         and soft dollar arrangements permissible under Section 28(e) of the
         Securities Exchange Act.

      The Board considered that the Manager and Sub-Advisor must be able to
pay and retain high quality personnel at competitive rates to provide
services to the Fund.  The Board also considered that maintaining the
financial viability of the Manager and Sub-Advisor is important so that the
Manager and Sub-Advisor will be able to continue to provide quality services
to the Fund and its shareholders in adverse times.  The Board also considered
the investment performance of other mutual funds advised by the Manager and
Sub-Advisor. The Board is aware that there are alternatives to the use of the
Manager and Sub-Advisor.

      These matters were also considered by the Independent Trustees, meeting
separately from the full Board with experienced Counsel to the Fund who
assisted the Board in its deliberations.  The Fund's Counsel is independent
of the Manager and Sub-Advisor within the meaning and intent of the SEC Rules
regarding the independence of counsel.

      After careful deliberation the Board concluded that it was in the best
interest of shareholders to continue the investment advisory and sub-advisory
agreements for another year. In arriving at a decision, the Board did not
single out any one factor or group of factors as being more important than
other factors, but considered all factors together.  The Board judged the
terms and conditions of the investment advisory agreements, including the
investment advisory fees, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.
After deliberating the Board approved the following fee schedule: effective
January 1, 2004, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate
that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows: 0.85% of the first $1
billion of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.81% of the next $2
billion, 0.76% of the next $1 billion, 0.71% of the next $1 billion, 0.65% of
the next $1 billion, 0.60% of the next $1 billion, 0.55% of the next $1
billion and 0.50% of average annual net assets in excess of $8 billion.

|X|   The Sub-Advisor's Code of Ethics. Each employee of the Sub-Advisor is
subject to a Code of Ethics which has been adopted by the Sub-Advisor to
comply with the provisions of Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act.
The Codes of Ethics are designed to detect and prevent improper personal
trading. The Codes of Ethics permit personnel subject to the Codes to invest
in securities, including securities that may be purchased, sold or held by
the Fund, subject to a number of restrictions and controls including
prohibitions against purchases of securities in an Initial Public Offering
and a preclearance requirement with respect to certain personal securities
transactions.

|X|   The Sub-Advisory Agreement. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement between
the Manager and the Sub-Advisor, the Sub-Advisor shall regularly provide
investment advice with respect to the Fund and invest and reinvest cash,
securities and the property comprising the assets of the Fund.  Under the
Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Advisor agrees not to change the portfolio
manager of the Fund without the written approval of the Manager. The
Sub-Advisor also agrees to provide assistance in the distribution and
marketing of the Fund.

      Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Advisor an
annual fee in monthly installments, based on the average daily net assets of
the Fund. The fee paid to the Sub-Advisor under the Sub-Advisory agreement is
paid by the Manager, not by the Fund. The fee is equal to 40% of the
investment advisory fee collected by the Manager from the Fund based on the
total net assets of the Fund as of November 22, 1995 (the "Base Amount") plus
30% of the investment advisory fee collected by the Manager based on the
total net assets of the Fund that exceed the Base Amount.

      The Sub-Advisory Agreement states that in the absence of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties or
obligations, the Sub-Advisor shall not be liable to the Manager for any act
or omission in the course of or connected with rendering services under the
Sub-Advisory Agreement or for any losses that may be sustained in the
purchase, holding or sale of any security.

Brokerage Policies of the Fund

Brokerage Provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement and the
Sub-Advisory Agreement. One of the duties of the Sub-Advisor under the
Sub-Advisory Agreement is to arrange the portfolio transactions for the Fund.
The Fund's investment advisory agreement with the Manager and the
Sub-Advisory Agreement contain provisions relating to the employment of
broker-dealers to effect the Fund's portfolio transactions. The Manager and
the Sub-Advisor are authorized to employ broker-dealers, including
"affiliated" brokers, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act.
They 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.


Under the investment advisory and sub-advisory agreements, in choosing
brokers to execute portfolio transactions for the Fund, the Manager and
Sub-Adviser may select brokers (other than affiliates) that provide brokerage
and/or research services to the Fund and/or the other accounts over which the
Manager or Sub-Adviser or their affiliates have investment discretion.  The concessions paid
to those brokers may be higher than another qualified broker would charge, if
the Manager or Sub-Adviser makes a good faith determination that the
concession is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided.
Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act prohibits (effective December 13,
2004) any fund from compensating a broker or dealer for promoting or selling
the fund's shares by (1) directing to that broker or dealer any of the fund's
portfolio transactions, or (2) directing any other remuneration to that
broker or dealer, such as commissions, mark-ups, mark downs or other fees
from the fund's portfolio transactions, that were effected by another broker
or dealer (these latter arrangements are considered to be a type of
"step-out" transaction). In other words, a fund and its investment advisor and sub-advisor
cannot use the fund's brokerage for the purpose of rewarding broker-dealers
for selling the fund's shares. However, the Rule permits funds to effect
brokerage transactions through firms that also sell fund shares, provided
that certain procedures are adopted to prevent a quid pro quo with respect to
portfolio brokerage allocations. As permitted by the Rule, the Manager has
adopted procedures (and the Fund's Board of Trustees has approved those
procedures) that permit the Fund to direct portfolio securities transactions
to brokers or dealers that also promote or sell shares of the Fund, subject
to the "best execution" considerations discussed above. Those procedures are
designed to prevent: (1) the Manager's personnel who effect the Fund's
portfolio transactions from taking into account a broker's or dealer's
promotion or sales of the Fund shares when allocating the Fund's portfolio
transactions, and (2) the Fund, the Manager and the Distributor from entering
into agreements or understandings under which the Manager directs or is
expected to direct the Fund's brokerage directly, or through a "step-out"
arrangement, to any broker or dealer in consideration of that broker's or
dealer's promotion or sale of the Fund's shares or the shares of any of the
other Oppenheimer funds.


      The Sub-Advisory Agreement permits the Sub-Advisor to enter into
"soft-dollar" arrangements through the agency of third parties to obtain
services for the Fund. Pursuant to these arrangements, the Sub-Advisor will
undertake to place brokerage business with broker-dealers who pay third
parties that provide services. Any such "soft-dollar" arrangements will be
made in accordance with policies adopted by the Board of the Trust and in
compliance with applicable law.

Brokerage Practices. Brokerage for the Fund is allocated subject to the
provisions of the investment advisory agreement and the Sub-Advisory
Agreement and the procedures and rules described above. Generally, the
Sub-Advisor's portfolio traders allocate brokerage based upon recommendations
from the Fund's portfolio manager. In certain instances, portfolio managers
may directly place trades and allocate brokerage. In either case, the
Sub-Advisor'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.


      The Sub-Advisor serves as investment manager to a number of clients,
including other investment companies, and may in the future act as investment
manager or advisor to others. It is the practice of the Sub-Advisor to
allocate purchase or sale transactions among the Fund and other clients whose
assets it manages in a manner it deems equitable. In making those
allocations, the Sub-Advisor considers several main factors, including the
respective investment objectives, the relative size of portfolio holdings of
the same or comparable securities, the availability of cash for investment,
the size of investment commitments generally held and the opinions of the
persons responsible for managing the portfolios of the Fund and each other
client's accounts.


      When orders to purchase or sell the same security on identical terms
are placed by more than one of the funds and/or other advisory accounts
managed by the Sub-Advisor or its affiliates, the transactions are generally
executed as received, although a fund or advisory account that does not
direct trades to a specific broker (these are called "free trades") usually
will have its order executed first. Orders placed by accounts that direct
trades to a specific broker will generally be executed after the free trades.
All orders placed on behalf of the Fund are considered free trades. However,
having an order placed first in the market does not necessarily guarantee the
most favorable price. Purchases are combined where possible for the purpose
of negotiating brokerage commissions. In some cases that practice might have
a detrimental effect on the price or volume of the security in a particular
transaction for the Fund.

      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 Sub-Advisor 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 and the Sub-Advisory Agreement permit
the Manager and the Sub-Advisor 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 Sub-Advisor 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 Sub-Advisor's other
accounts. Investment research may be supplied to the Sub-Advisor 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 Sub-Advisor in a non-research capacity (such as
bookkeeping or other administrative functions), then only the percentage or
component that provides assistance to the Sub-Advisor in the investment
decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.


      The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and
supplement the research activities of the Sub-Advisor. That research provides
additional views and comparisons for consideration, and helps the Sub-Advisor
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
Sub-Advisor provides information to the Manager and the Board about the
commissions paid to brokers furnishing such services, together with the
Sub-Advisor'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 Trust,
the Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous
public offering of the Fund's classes of shares. The Distributor bears the
expenses normally attributable to sales, including advertising and the cost
of printing and mailing prospectuses, other than those furnished to existing
shareholders. The Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific number of
shares.

      The sales charges and concessions paid to, or retained by, the
Distributor from the sale of shares and the contingent deferred sales charges
retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares during the Fund's

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. Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of
Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees1, cast in person
at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.


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

      Financial intermediaries, brokers and dealers may receive other
payments from the Distributor or the Manager from their own resources in
connection with the promotion and/or sale of shares of the Fund, including
payments to defray expenses incurred in connection with educational seminars
and meetings.  The Manager or Distributor may share expenses incurred by
financial intermediaries in conducting training and educational meetings
about aspects of the Fund for employees of the intermediaries or for hosting
client seminars or meetings at which the Fund is discussed.  In their sole
discretion, the Manager and/or the Distributor may increase or decrease the
amount of payments they make from their own resources for these purposes.


      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 72 months after purchase, the Fund
must obtain the approval of both Class A and Class B shareholders for a
proposed material amendment to the Class A the plan that would materially
increase payments under the plan. That approval must be by a majority of the
shares of each class, voting separately by class.

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

      Each plan states that while it is in effect, the selection and
nomination of those Trustees of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of
the Fund 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 plans 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 for personal services and account
maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold Class A
shares. The services include, among others, answering customer inquiries
about the Fund, assisting in establishing and maintaining accounts in the
Fund, making the Fund's investment plans available and providing other
services at the request of the Fund or the Distributor. The Class A service
plan permits compensation to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of
average annual net assets of Class A shares. The Distributor does not receive
or retain the service fee on Class A shares in accounts for which the
Distributor has been listed as the broker-dealer of record. The Board
Trustees has set that rate. While the plan permits the Board to authorize
payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for services under the plan,
the Board has not yet done so, except in the case of the special arrangement
described below, regarding grandfathered retirement accounts. The Distributor
makes payments to plan recipients quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed
0.25% of the average annual net assets consisting of Class A shares held in
the accounts of the recipients or their customers.


      Under the Class A distribution plan, the plan provides for the Fund to
pay an asset-based sales charge to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25%
of average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. Effective January
1, 2003, the Board set that rate to zero. Prior to that date, the Fund paid
the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge equal to 0.10% of average
annual net assets representing Class A shares. The Distributor paid the
entire asset-based sales charge to brokers, dealers and financial
institutions.

      With respect to purchases of Class A shares subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge by certain retirement plans that purchased such shares
prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts"), the Distributor
currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the
first year after the shares are purchased. During the first year the shares
are sold, the Distributor retains the service fee to reimburse itself for the
costs of distributing the shares. After the first year shares are
outstanding, the Distributor makes service fee payments to recipients
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 A shares purchased by grandfathered
retirement accounts 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.


      For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 payments under the Class A
distribution and service plan totaled $__________, of which $_______ was
service fee payments retained by the Distributor in connection with the
grandfathered retirement accounts, described above, and included $_________
paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's parent company. In addition,
$_________ was retained for the asset-based sales charge, as allowed under
the plan prior to January 1, 2003. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor
incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered
in subsequent years. The Distributor may not use payments received under the
Class A 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 Distribution and Service Plan Fees. Under
each plan, distribution and service fees are computed on the average of the
net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the close
of each regular business day during the period. Each plan provides for the
Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor's
distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund
under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid. The types of
services that recipients provide are similar to the services provided under
the Class A service plan, described above.


      Each plan permits the Distributor to retain both the asset-based sales
charges and the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a
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 Class B, Class C and Class N shares are purchased. After the
first year Class B, Class C or Class N shares are outstanding, after their
purchase, the Distributor makes 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. Class B, Class C or Class N
shares may not be purchased by an investor directly from the Distributor
without the investor designating another broker-dealer of record.  If the
investor no longer has another broker-dealer of record for an existing
account, the Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of
record, but solely for the purpose of acting as the investor's agent to
purchase the shares.  In those cases, the Distributor retains the asset-based
sales charge paid on Class B, Class C and Class N shares, but does not retain
any service fees as to the assets represented by that account.

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


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

      The asset-based sales charge 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 charge 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,
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.

      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.

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 1.800.225.5677 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 SEC. 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.

      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 not 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 those
investments, the types of investments the Fund holds, and its operating
expenses that are allocated to the particular class

      |X|   Total Return Information. There are different types of "total
returns" to measure the Fund's performance. Total return is the change in
value of a hypothetical investment in the Fund over a given period, assuming
that all dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested in
additional shares and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the
period. Because of differences in expenses for each class of shares, the
total returns for each class are separately measured. The cumulative total
return measures the change in value over the entire period (for example, ten
years). An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for
each year in a period that would produce the cumulative total return over the
entire period. However, average annual total returns do not show actual
year-by-year performance. The Fund 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" in the formula below) (unless the return is
shown without sales charge, as described below). For Class B shares, payment
of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge is applied, depending on
the period for which the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in the
second year, 3.0% in the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0%
in the sixth year and none thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1.0%
contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year
period. For Class N shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge is
deducted for returns for the one-year period, and total returns for the
periods prior to 03/01/01 (the inception date for Class N shares) are based
on the Fund's Class A returns, adjusted to reflect the higher Class N 12b-1
fees. There is no sales charge on 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:

ERV   l/n - 1  Average Annual Total
               Return
  P

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

           - 1 = Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on
ATVD   l/n     Distributions)
---
  P

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

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

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

      Morningstar proprietary star ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted
total investment return. For each fund with at least a three-year history,
Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating(TM)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 three-, five-and ten-year (if applicable)
Morningstar Rating metrics.

      |X|   Performance Rankings and Comparisons by Other Entities and
Publications. From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements
and sales literature performance information about the Fund cited in
newspapers and other periodicals such as The New York Times, The Wall Street
Journal, Barron's, or similar publications. That information may include
performance quotations from other sources, including Lipper and Morningstar.
The performance of the Fund's classes of shares may be compared in
publications to the performance
of various market indices or other investments, and averages, performance
rankings or other benchmarks prepared by recognized mutual 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 C 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 $50 and shareholders must invest at least $500 before an
                     ---
Asset Builder Plan (described below) can be established on a new account.
Accounts established prior to November 1, 2002 will remain at $25 for
additional purchases. Shares will be purchased on the regular business day
the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated Clearing House
("ACH") transfer to buy the shares. Dividends will begin to accrue on shares
purchased with the proceeds of ACH transfers on the business day the Fund
receives Federal Funds for the purchase through the ACH system before the
close of The New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"). The Exchange normally
closes at 4:00 P.M., but may close earlier on certain days. If Federal Funds
are received on a business day after the close of the Exchange, the shares
will be purchased and dividends will begin to accrue on the next regular
business day. The proceeds of ACH transfers are normally received by the Fund
three days after the transfers are initiated. If the proceeds of the ACH
transfer are not received on a timely basis, the Distributor reserves the
right to cancel the purchase order. The Distributor and the Fund are not
responsible for any delays in purchasing shares resulting from delays in ACH
transmissions.


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

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.

The Oppenheimer Funds. The Oppenheimer funds are those mutual funds for which
the Distributor acts as the distributor and currently include the following:

Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust    Centennial Tax Exempt Trust

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

Letters of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent ("Letter"), 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. Letters do not consider Class C or Class N shares you purchase or may
have purchased.

      A Letter 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
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
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. 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.

      If the total eligible purchases made during the Letter 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 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.  If the intended  purchase  amount under a Letter
entered into by an OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plan is not purchased by
the plan by the end of the  Letter  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 period
will be deducted. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the
investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter when placing any purchase
orders for the investor during the Letter 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 13-month Letter period, the escrowed shares will be
promptly released to the investor.

      3. If, at the end of the 13-month Letter 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 sixty 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. As explained in the Prospectus, you must initially
establish your account with $500. Subsequently, you can establish an Asset
Builder Plan to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank
account for as little as $50. For those accounts established prior to
November 1, 2002 and which have previously established Asset Builder Plans,
additional purchases will remain at $25. 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 fund account to make monthly automatic
purchases of shares of up to four other Oppenheimer funds.

      If you make 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 you 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 charges or at reduced sales charge rates, as
described in an Appendix 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 $1 million in assets invested in
applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market funds),
then the retirement plan may purchase only Class C shares of the Oppenheimer
funds.  If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record
keeping service agreement the plan has $1 million or more in assets but less
than $5 million in assets invested in applicable investments (other than
assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase
only Class N shares of the Oppenheimer funds.  If on the date the plan
sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement the plan
has $5 million or more in assets invested in applicable investments (other
than assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may
purchase only Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds.


      OppenheimerFunds has entered into arrangements with certain record
keepers whereby the Transfer Agent compensates the record keeper for its
record keeping and account servicing functions that it performs on behalf of
the participant level accounts of a retirement plan. While such compensation
may act to reduce the record keeping fees charged by the retirement plan's
record keeper, that compensation arrangement may be terminated at any time,
potentially affecting the record keeping fees charged by the retirement
plan's record keeper.

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

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

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


      The Distributor will not accept purchase order of $100,000 or more for
Class B shares or a purchase order of $1 million or more to purchase Class C
shares on behalf of a single investor (not including dealer "street name" or
omnibus accounts).


|X|   Class A Shares Subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. For
purchases of Class A shares at net asset value whether or not subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge as described in the Prospectus, no sales
concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of record, 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 Class A 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 72 months after purchase is not treated as a
taxable event for the shareholder. If those laws or the IRS interpretation of
those laws should change, the automatic conversion feature may be suspended.
In that event, no further conversions of Class B shares would occur while
that suspension remained in effect. Although Class B shares could then be
exchanged for Class A shares on the basis of relative net asset value of the
two classes, without the imposition of a sales charge or fee, such exchange
could constitute a taxable event for the shareholder, and absent such
exchange, Class B shares might continue to be subject to the asset-based
sales charge for longer than six years.

      |X|   Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of
the types of retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained in
the prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:
o     to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),
o     to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans,
            Profit-Sharing Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans,
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 C 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:
         purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a
            retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption
            proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds
            (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle
            or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer
            funds),
         purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a
            retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption
            proceeds of  Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held
            by the plan for more than one year (other than rollovers from an
            OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to
            any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds), and
         on purchases of Class N shares by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored
            Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan made with the redemption
            proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds.

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

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

      The methodology for calculating the net asset value, dividends and
distributions of the Fund's share classes recognizes two types of expenses.
General expenses that do not pertain specifically to any one class are
allocated pro rata to the shares of all classes. The allocation is based on
the percentage of 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).


Fund Account Fees. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual "Minimum Balance
Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a share balance valued under $500.
The Minimum Balance Fee is automatically deducted from each such Fund account
on or about the second to last business day of September.

      Listed below are certain cases in which the Fund has elected, in its
discretion, not to assess the Fund Account Fees.  These exceptions are
subject to change:
         A fund account whose shares were acquired after September 30th of
            the prior year;
o     A fund account that has a balance below $500 due to the automatic
            conversion of shares from Class B to Class A shares. However,
            once all Class B shares held in the account have been converted
            to Class A shares the new account balance may become subject to
            the Minimum Balance Fee;
o     Accounts of shareholders who elect to access their account documents
            electronically via eDoc Direct;
o     A fund account that has only certificated shares and, has a balance
            below $500 and is being escheated;
o     Accounts of shareholders that are held by broker-dealers under the NSCC
            Fund/SERV system;
o     Accounts held under the Oppenheimer Legacy Program and/or holding
            certain Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds;
o     Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle, Ascender,
            Custom Plus, Recordkeeper Pro and Pension Alliance Retirement
            Plan programs; and
o     A fund account that falls below the $500 minimum solely due to market
            fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the
            fee is deducted.

      The Fund reserves the authority to modify Fund Account Fees in its
discretion.


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 Exchange on each day that the Exchange is open. The
calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets
attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are
outstanding. The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, but may
close earlier on some other days (for example, in case of weather emergencies
or on days falling before a U.S. holiday). All references to time in this
Statement of Additional Information mean "Eastern time." The Exchange's most
recent annual announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will
close on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.

      Dealers other than Exchange members may conduct trading in certain
securities on days on which the Exchange is closed (including weekends and
holidays) or after 4:00 P.M. on a regular business day. Because the Fund's
net asset values will not be calculated on those days, the Fund's net asset
values per share may be significantly affected on 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 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 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. The Manager, or an internal valuation committee established
by the Manager, as applicable, may establish a valuation, under procedures
established by the Board and subject to the approval, ratification and
confirmation by the Board at its next ensuing meeting.

      |X|   Securities Valuation.  The Fund's Board of Trustees has
established procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities. In general
those procedures are as follows:
o     Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on Nasdaq(R)
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(R), 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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     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(R), 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(R)on
the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the
principal exchange or on Nasdaq(R)on the valuation date. If the put, call or
future is not traded on an exchange or on Nasdaq(R), it shall be valued by the
mean between "bid" and "asked" prices obtained by the Manager from two active
market makers. In certain cases that may be at the "bid" price if no "asked"
price is available.


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

How to Sell Shares

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

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire.  The Federal Funds wire of
redemption proceeds may be delayed if the Fund's custodian bank is not open
for business on a day when the Fund would normally authorize the wire to be
made, which is usually the Fund's next regular business day following the
redemption. In those circumstances, the wire will not be transmitted until
the next bank business day on which the Fund is open for business. No
dividends will be paid on the proceeds of redeemed shares awaiting transfer
by Federal Funds wire.

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may
reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of:
o     Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class A
         shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or
o     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 and Class N contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in
determining the order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial
plans, 401(k) plans or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to
"Trustee, OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its
address listed in "How To Sell 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 plan sponsors) in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of the
Fund held in the name of the plan or its fiduciary may not directly request
redemption of their accounts. The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign
the request.

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

Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers. The
Distributor is the Fund's agent to repurchase its shares from authorized
dealers or brokers on behalf of their customers. Shareholders should contact
their broker or dealer to arrange this type of redemption. The repurchase
price per share will be the net asset value next computed after the
Distributor receives an order placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the
Distributor receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the
close of the 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 C 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 $50. Instructions
should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds Application or
signature-guaranteed instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are
subject to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in "How to
Exchange Shares" in the Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional
Information.

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.

      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 of shares by calling the Distributor.

o     Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. only offers Class A and Class Y
      shares.

o     Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for
      shares of any other fund.
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     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  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 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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (8/5/2010).
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund II may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund II until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (2/4/2011).

o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund III may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund III until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (12/6/2011).


      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, with the
following exceptions:

o     When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund (other than Rochester
National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) acquired by exchange of
Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A
contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 18 months measured from
the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged
Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on
the redeemed shares.

o     When Class A shares of Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund
Municipals acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund
purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed
within 24 months of the beginning of the calendar month of the initial
purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred
sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares.

o     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     When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves and Oppenheimer Money
Market Fund, Inc. acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer
fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are
redeemed within the Class A holding period of the fund from which the shares
were exchanged, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the fund from
which the shares were exchanged is imposed on the redeemed shares.


o     With respect to Class B shares (other than Limited-Term Government
Fund, Limited Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund,
Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate
Fund), the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B
shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within six years of the
initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

o     With respect to Class B shares of Limited-Term Government Fund, Limited
Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund, Oppenheimer
Capital Preservation Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, the
Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B shares
acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 5 years of the initial
purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.


o     With respect to Class C shares, the Class C contingent deferred sales
charge is imposed on Class C shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed
within 12 months of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class C shares.

o     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.

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

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

      |X|   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.


      |X|   Telephone Exchange Requests. When exchanging shares by telephone,
a shareholder must have an existing account in the fund to which the exchange
is to be made. Otherwise, the investors must obtain a prospectus of that fund
before the exchange request may be submitted. If all telephone lines are busy
(which might occur, for example, during periods of substantial market
fluctuations), shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by
telephone and would have to submit written exchange requests.


Processing  Exchange  Requests.  Shares to be  exchanged  are  redeemed on the
regular  business  day the  Transfer  Agent  receives an  exchange  request in
proper  form  (the  "Redemption  Date").  Normally,  shares  of the fund to be
acquired are  purchased on the  Redemption  Date,  but such  purchases  may be
delayed  by either  fund up to five  business  days if 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.


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 12 months after the close of the
taxable year, will be considered distributions of income and gains for the
taxable year and will therefore count toward satisfaction of the
above-mentioned requirement.

      To qualify as a regulated investment company, 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 (including receivables), 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.

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.

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.

      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 a long-term capital gain and will be properly identified in reports sent
to shareholders in January of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter
how long the shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was
recognized by the 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, the Fund will provide to shareholders of record
on the last day of its taxable year information regarding their pro rata
share of the gain and tax paid. As a result, each shareholder will be
required to report his or her pro rata share of such gain on 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 28% of ordinary
income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the
redemption of shares, paid to any shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a
correct taxpayer identification number or to properly certify that number
-------
when required, (2) who is subject to backup withholding for failure to report
the receipt of interest or dividend income properly, or (3) who has failed to
certify to the Fund that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding
or is an "exempt recipient" (such as a corporation). Any tax withheld by the
Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax
withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of each
year.


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.

Foreign Shareholders. Under U.S. tax law, taxation of a shareholder who is a
foreign person (to include, but not limited to, a nonresident alien
individual, a foreign trust, a foreign estate, a foreign corporation, or a
foreign partnership) primarily depends on whether the foreign person's income
from the Fund is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or
business. Typically, ordinary income dividends paid from a mutual fund are
not considered "effectively connected" income.


      Ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund (and are deemed not
"effectively connected income") to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S.
tax withheld by the Fund at a rate of 30%, provided the Fund obtains a
properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. The tax rate may
be reduced if the foreign person's country of residence has a tax treaty with
the U.S. allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends paid by
the Fund. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S.
Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed
to shareholders in March of each year.


      If the ordinary income dividends from the Fund are effectively
                                                     ---
connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, then the foreign
person may claim an exemption from the U.S. tax described above provided the
Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status.
If the foreign person fails to provide a certification of his/her foreign
status, the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of 28% on
ordinary income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of
the redemption of shares, paid to any foreign person. All income and any tax
withheld (in this situation) by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S.
Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of
each year.

      The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits
of an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein.
Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors or the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service with respect to the particular tax consequences to
them of an investment in the Fund, including the applicability of the U.S.
withholding taxes described above.

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund. Shareholders of 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

                             RATINGS DEFINITIONS
                             -------------------

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the
nationally-recognized rating agencies listed below. Those ratings represent
the opinion of the agency as to the credit quality of issues that they rate.
The summaries below are based upon publicly available information provided by
the rating organizations.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")

LONG-TERM RATINGS: BONDS AND PREFERRED STOCK ISSUER RATINGS

Aaa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Aaa" are judged to be the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk.  Interest payments are
protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is
secure.  While the various protective elements are likely to change, the
changes that can be expected are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of such issues.

Aa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by
all standards. Together with the "Aaa" group, they comprise what are
generally known as high-grade bonds.  They are rated lower than the best
bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as with "Aaa"
securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude
or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risk appear
somewhat larger than that of "Aaa" securities.

A: Bonds and preferred stock rated "A" possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium grade obligations.
Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but
elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some
time in the future.

Baa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Baa" are considered medium-grade
obligations; that is, they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.
Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but
certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically
unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding
investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative
elements. Their future cannot be considered well-assured.  Often the
protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future.
Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B: Bonds and preferred stock rated "B" generally lack characteristics of the
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of
maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may
be small.

Caa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Caa" are of poor standing. Such issues
may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to
principal or interest.
Ca: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Ca" represent obligations which are
speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other
marked shortcomings.

C:  Bonds and preferred stock rated "C" are the lowest class of rated bonds
and can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.

Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating
classification from "Aa" through "Caa." The modifier "1" indicates that the
obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the
modifier "2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates a
ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Advanced refunded
issues that are secured by certain assets are identified with a # symbol.

PRIME RATING SYSTEM (SHORT-TERM RATINGS - TAXABLE DEBT)
These ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to honor senior
financial obligations and contracts. Such obligations generally have an
original maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

Prime-1: Issuer has a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term
debt obligations.

Prime-2: Issuer has a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt
obligations. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more
subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while appropriate, may
be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is
maintained.

Prime-3: Issuer has an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term
obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions
may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result
in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require
relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is
maintained.

Not Prime: Issuer does not fall within any Prime rating category.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's"), a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

LONG-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following
considerations:
o     Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet
      its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms
      of the obligation;
o     Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and
o     Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the
      event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the
      laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.
   The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As
such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are
typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority
in bankruptcy, as noted above.

AAA: An obligation  rated "AAA" have the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's.  The  obligor's  capacity  to meet  its  financial  commitment  on the
obligation is extremely strong.

AA: An obligation  rated "AA" differ from the highest rated  obligations  only
in small degree.  The obligor's  capacity to meet its financial  commitment on
the obligation is very strong.

A: An  obligation  rated "A" are  somewhat  more  susceptible  to the  adverse
effects of changes in circumstances  and economic  conditions than obligations
in  higher-rated  categories.  However,  the  obligor's  capacity  to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB:  An  obligation  rated  "BBB"  exhibit  adequate  protection  parameters.
However,  adverse  economic  conditions  or  changing  circumstances  are more
likely to lead to a weakened  capacity  of the  obligor to meet its  financial
commitment on the obligation.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C
An obligation rated `BB', `B', `CCC', `CC', and `C' are regarded as having
significant speculative characteristics. `BB' indicates the least degree of
speculation and `C' the highest. While such obligations will likely have some
quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large
uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

BB: An obligation  rated "BB" are less  vulnerable  to  nonpayment  than other
speculative  issues.   However,  they  face  major  ongoing  uncertainties  or
exposure to adverse business,  financial,  or economic  conditions which could
lead to the obligor's  inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation.

B: An obligation  rated "B" are more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations
rated "BB",  but the obligor  currently has the capacity to meet its financial
commitment  on  the  obligation.  Adverse  business,  financial,  or  economic
conditions  will likely impair the obligor's  capacity or  willingness to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC: An obligation  rated "CCC" are currently  vulnerable to  nonpayment,  and
are dependent upon favorable business,  financial, and economic conditions for
the obligor to meet its financial  commitment on the obligation.  In the event
of adverse business,  financial,  or economic  conditions,  the obligor is not
likely  to  have  the  capacity  to  meet  its  financial  commitment  on  the
obligation.

CC: An obligation rated "CC" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C:  Subordinated  debt or preferred stock  obligations rated "C" are currently
highly  vulnerable  to  nonpayment.  The "C"  rating  may be  used to  cover a
situation where a bankruptcy  petition has been filed or similar action taken,
but  payments  on this  obligation  are  being  continued.  A "C" also will be
assigned to a preferred  stock issue in arrears on  dividends  or sinking fund
payments, but that is currently paying.

D: An obligation rated "D" are in payment default.  The "D" rating category is
used when payments on an  obligation  are not made on the date due even if the
applicable  grace period has not expired,  unless  Standard & Poor's  believes
that such payments will be made during such grace period.  The "D" rating also
will be used  upon the  filing of a  bankruptcy  petition  or the  taking of a
similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the addition of a plus (+)
or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating
categories.

c: The `c' subscript is used to provide additional information to investors
that the bank may terminate its obligation to purchase tendered bonds if the
long-term credit rating of the issuer is below an investment-grade level
and/or the issuer's bonds are deemed taxable.

p: The letter `p' indicates that the rating is provisional. A provisional
rating assumes the successful completion of the project financed by the debt
being rated and indicates that payment of debt service requirements is
largely or entirely dependent upon the successful, timely completion of the
project. This rating, however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to
completion of the project, makes no comment on the likelihood of or the risk
of default upon failure of such completion. The investor should exercise his
own judgment with respect to such likelihood and risk.

Continuance of the ratings is contingent upon Standard & Poor's receipt of an
executed copy of the escrow agreement or closing documentation confirming
investments and cash flows.

r: The `r' highlights derivative, hybrid, and certain other obligations that
Standard & Poor's believes may experience high volatility or high variability
in expected returns as a result of noncredit risks. Examples of such
obligations are securities with principal or interest return indexed to
equities, commodities, or currencies; certain swaps and options; and
interest-only and principal-only mortgage securities. The absence of an `r'
symbol should not be taken as an indication that an obligation will exhibit
no volatility or variability in total return.

N.R. Not rated.

Debt obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories are
rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues. The
ratings measure the creditworthiness of the obligor but do not take into
account currency exchange and related uncertainties.

Bond Investment Quality Standards

Under present commercial bank regulations issued by the Comptroller of the
Currency, bonds rated in the top four categories (`AAA', `AA', `A', `BBB',
commonly known as investment-grade ratings) generally are regarded as
eligible for bank investment. Also, the laws of various states governing
legal investments impose certain rating or other standards for obligations
eligible for investment by savings banks, trust companies, insurance
companies, and fiduciaries in general

SHORT-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered
short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means
obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 days-including
commercial paper.

A-1: A short-term obligation rated "A-1" is rated in the highest category by
Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are
designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity
to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

A-2: A short-term obligation rated "A-2" is somewhat more susceptible to the
adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.
A-3: A short-term obligation rated "A-3" exhibits adequate protection
parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances
are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation.

B: A short-term obligation rated "B" is regarded as having significant
speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation; however, it faces major ongoing
uncertainties which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation.

C: A short-term obligation rated "C" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment
and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions
for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

D: A short-term obligation rated "D" is in payment default. The "D" rating
category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due
even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D"
rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the
taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

NOTES:
A Standard & Poor's note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market
access risks unique to notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely
receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely
receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in
making that assessment:
o     Amortization schedule-the larger the final maturity relative to other
      maturities, the more likely it will
      be treated as a note; and
o     Source of payment-the more dependent the issue is on the market for its
      refinancing, the more likely
      it will be treated as a note.

SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue with a very
strong capacity to pay debt service is given a (+) designation.

SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some
vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the
notes.

SP-3: Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Fitch, Inc.

International credit ratings assess the capacity to meet foreign currency or
local currency commitments. Both "foreign currency" and "local currency"
ratings are internationally comparable assessments. The local currency rating
measures the probability of payment within the relevant sovereign state's
currency and jurisdiction and therefore, unlike the foreign currency rating,
does not take account of the possibility of foreign exchange controls
limiting transfer into foreign currency.


INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings.

Investment Grade:

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of
credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly
unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
AA: Very High Credit Quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of
credit risk. They indicate a very strong capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to
foreseeable events.

A: High Credit Quality. "A" ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk.
The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered
strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in
circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

BBB: Good Credit Quality. "BBB" ratings indicate that there is currently a
low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and
in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the
lowest investment-grade category.

Speculative Grade:

BB: Speculative. "BB" ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit
risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over
time. However, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow
financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not
investment grade.


B: Highly Speculative. "B" ratings indicate that significant credit risk is
present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are
currently being met. However, capacity for continued payment is contingent
upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

CCC, CC C: High Default Risk.  Default is a real possibility. Capacity for
meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable
business or economic developments. A "CC" rating indicates that default of
some kind appears probable. "C" ratings signal imminent default.

DDD, DD, and D: Default. The ratings of obligations in this category are
based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a
reorganization or liquidation of the obligor. While expected recovery values
are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the
following serve as general guidelines. "DDD" obligations have the highest
potential for recovery, around 90%-100% of outstanding amounts and accrued
interest. "DD" indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and
"D" the lowest recovery potential, i.e., below 50%.

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their
obligations. Entities rated "DDD" have the highest prospect for resumption of
performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization
process. Entities rated "DD" and "D" are generally undergoing a formal
reorganization or liquidation process; those rated "DD" are likely to satisfy
a higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated "D"
have a poor prospect for repaying all obligations.

Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote
relative status within the major rating categories.  Plus and minus signs are
not added to the "AAA" category or to categories below "CCC," nor to
short-term ratings other than "F1" (see below).

INTERNATIONAL SHORT-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings. A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for
most obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities,
and thus places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial
commitments in a timely manner.

F1: Highest credit quality. Strongest capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. May have an added "+" to denote any exceptionally
strong credit feature.

F2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the
case of higher ratings.

F3: Fair credit quality. Capacity for timely payment of financial commitments
is adequate. However, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction
to non-investment grade.

B: Speculative. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments,
plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic
conditions.

C: High default risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting
financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business
and economic environment.

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers
--------------------------------------------------------------

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class
A shares2 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.3  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 plans4
         4) Group Retirement Plans5
         5) 403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
         6) Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional
            IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

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

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






 Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

      There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases
may be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed
within 18 months (24 months in the case of Oppenheimer Rochester National
Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) of the beginning of the calendar
month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver
described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption).
Additionally, on shares purchased under these waivers that are subject to the
Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor will pay the
applicable concession described in the Prospectus under "Class A Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge."6 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. That included plans
         (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares
         costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more
         eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3)
         certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan
         purchases of $200,000 or more.
|_|   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
            manager).

            Waivers of Class A Sales Charges of Oppenheimer Funds
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A. Waivers of Initial and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges for Certain
Purchasers.

Class A shares purchased by the following investors are not subject to any
Class A sales charges (and no concessions are paid by the Distributor on such
purchases):
|_|   The Manager or its affiliates.

|_|   Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and
         their "immediate families") of the Fund, the Manager and its
         affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their
         employees. The term "immediate family" refers to one's spouse,
         children, grandchildren, grandparents, parents, parents-in-law,
         brothers and sisters, sons- and daughters-in-law, a sibling's
         spouse, a spouse's siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews;
         relatives by virtue of a remarriage (step-children, step-parents,

1 In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term
"Independent Trustees" in this Statement of Additional Information refers to
those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who do not
have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the
distribution plan or any agreement under the plan.
2 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible
Securities Fund.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts
of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a Retirement
Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C
shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one
year.
7 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

8 This provision only applies to qualified retirement plans and 403(b)(7)
custodial plans after your separation from service in or after the year you
reached age 55.

9 The distribution must be requested prior to Plan termination or the
elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option under the Plan.
10 This provision does not apply to IRAs.
11 This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans and
loans from the OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single K retirement plan.
12 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the
participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.

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

      In selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio, the portfolio manager
evaluates the merits of particular securities primarily through the exercise
of its own investment analysis. In the case of corporate issuers, that
process may include, among other things, evaluation of the issuer's
historical operations, prospects for the industry of which the issuer is
part, the issuer's financial condition, its pending product developments and
business (and those of competitors), the effect of general market and
economic conditions on the issuer's business, and legislative proposals that
might affect the issuer.  In the case of foreign securities, when evaluating
the securities of issuers in a particular country, the Manager may also
consider the conditions of a particular country's economy in relation to the
U.S. economy or other foreign economies, general political conditions in a
country or region, the effect of taxes, the efficiencies and costs of
particular markets and other factors.

|X|   Investments in Equity Securities. The Fund does not limit its
investments in equity securities to issuers having a market capitalization of
a specified size or range, and therefore the Fund can invest in securities of
small-, mid- and large-capitalization issuers. At times, the Fund may
increase the relative emphasis of its equity investments in securities of one
or more capitalization ranges, based upon the Manager judgment of where the
best market opportunities are to seek the Fund's objective. At times, the
market may favor or disfavor securities of issuers of a particular
capitalization range, and securities of small-capitalization issuers may be
subject to greater price volatility in general than securities of larger
companies. Therefore, if the Fund has substantial investments in
smaller-capitalization companies at times of market volatility, the Fund's
share price could fluctuate more than that of funds focusing on
larger-capitalization issuers.


o     Value Investing. In selecting equity investments for the Fund's
portfolio, the portfolio manager currently uses a value investing style. In
using a value approach, the portfolio manager seeks stock and other equity
securities that appear to be temporarily undervalued, by various measures,
such as price/earnings ratios. This approach is subject to change and may not
necessarily be used in all cases. Value investing seeks stocks having prices
that are low in relation to their real worth or future prospects, in the hope
that the Fund will realize appreciation in the value of its holdings when
other investors realize the intrinsic value of the stock.

      Some of the measures used to identify these securities include, among
others:
o     Price/Earnings ratio, which is the stock's price divided by its

           earnings per share. A stock having a price/earnings ratio lower
           than its historical range, or the market as a whole or that of
           similar companies, may offer attractive investment opportunities.

o     Price/book value ratio, which is the stock price divided by the book
           value of the company per share, which measures the company's stock
           price in relation to its asset value.
o     Dividend Yield is measured by dividing the annual dividend by the stock
           price per share.
o     Valuation of Assets, which compares the stock price to the value of the
           company's underlying assets, including their projected value in
           the marketplace and liquidation value.


o     Preferred Stocks. Preferred stocks are equity securities but have
certain attributes of debt securities. Preferred stock, unlike common stock,
has a stated dividend rate payable from the corporation's earnings. Preferred
stock dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative, participating, or
auction rate. "Cumulative" dividend provisions require all or a portion of
prior unpaid dividends to be paid before the issuer can pay dividends on
common shares.

      If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be
less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. Preferred
stock may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions for
their call or redemption prior to maturity which can have a negative effect
on their prices when interest prior to maturity rates decline. Preferred
stock may be "participating" stock, which means that it may be entitled to a
dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain cases.

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

o     Rights and Warrants. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its total assets
in warrants but no more than 2% of its total assets may be invested in
warrants that are not listed on The New York Stock Exchange or The American
Stock Exchange. Those percentage limitations are fundamental policies.
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.

o     Convertible Securities.  Convertible securities are debt securities
that are convertible into an issuer's common stock. Convertible securities
rank senior to common stock in a corporation's capital structure and
therefore are subject to less risk than common stock in case of the issuer's
bankruptcy or liquidation.

      The value of a convertible security is a function of its "investment
value" and its "conversion value." If the investment value exceeds the
conversion value, the security will behave more like a debt security, and the
security's price will likely increase when interest rates fall and decrease
when interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds the investment
value, the security will behave more like an equity security: it will likely
sell at a premium over its conversion value, and its price will tend to
fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying security. Convertible
securities are subject to credit risks and interest rate risk as discussed
below under "Investments in Debt 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 by the Manager more as "equity equivalents."  In
those cases, the credit rating assigned to the security has less impact on
the Manager's investment decision than in the case of non-convertible
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.

|X|   Investments in Debt Securities. The Fund can invest in a variety of
domestic and foreign debt securities, including mortgage-backed securities,
investment-grade corporate debt securities and U.S. government securities.
It might do so to seek its objective if and at times when the portfolio
manager believes that debt securities are preferable to equity investments.
The Fund can invest in those debt securities and other high-quality
short-term debt securities including money market instruments for liquidity
or defensive purposes.  Because the Fund currently emphasizes investments in
equity securities, such as stocks, it is not anticipated that under normal
market conditions more than 50% of the Fund's assets will be invested in debt
securities.  Foreign debt securities are subject to the risks of foreign
investing described below.  In general, domestic and foreign debt securities
are also subject to two additional types of risks: credit risk and interest
rate risk.


o     Credit Risk.  Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet
interest or principal payment obligations as they become due. In making
investments in debt securities, the Manager may rely to some extent on the
ratings of ratings organizations or it may use its own research to evaluate a
security's creditworthiness. Investment-grade bonds are bonds rated at least
"Baa" by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), at least "BBB" by
Standard & Poor's Rating Service ("Standard & Poor's") or Fitch Inc.
("Fitch"), or that have comparable ratings by another nationally recognized
rating organization. If securities the Fund buys are unrated, to be
considered part of the Fund's holdings of investment-grade securities, they
must be judged by the Manager to be of comparable quality to bonds rated as
investment grade by a rating organization.  The debt security ratings
definitions of the Moody's, Standard &Poor's and Fitch are included in
Appendix A of this Statement of Additional Information.


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

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

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

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

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

      In periods of declining interest rates, mortgages are more likely to be
prepaid. Therefore, a mortgage-related security's maturity can be shortened
by unscheduled prepayments on the underlying mortgages. Therefore, it is not
possible to predict accurately the security's yield. The principal that is
returned earlier than expected may have to be reinvested in other investments
having a lower yield than the prepaid security. Therefore, these securities
may be less effective as a means of "locking in" attractive long-term
interest rates, and they may have less potential for appreciation during
periods of declining interest rates, than conventional bonds with comparable
stated maturities.

      Prepayment risks can lead to substantial fluctuations in the value of a
mortgage-related security. In turn, this can affect the value of the Fund's
shares. If a mortgage-related security has been purchased at a premium, all
or part of the premium the Fund paid may be lost if there is a decline in the
market value of the security, whether that results from interest rate changes
or prepayments on the underlying mortgages. In the case of stripped
mortgage-related securities, if they experience greater rates of prepayment
than were anticipated, the Fund may fail to recoup its initial investment on
the security.

      If interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments may occur at a slower rate
than expected and the expected maturity of long-term or medium-term
securities could lengthen as a result.  Generally, that would cause their
value and the prices of the Fund's share to fluctuate more widely in response
to changes in interest rates.

      As with other debt securities, the values of mortgage-related
securities may be affected by changes in the market's perception of the
creditworthiness of the entity issuing the securities or guaranteeing them.
Their values may also be affected by changes in government regulations and
tax policies.

o     Collateralized Mortgage Obligations. CMOs are multi-class bonds that
 are backed by pools of mortgage loans or mortgage pass-through certificates.
 They may be collateralized by:
(1)   pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by Ginnie Mae, Fannie
               Mae, or Freddie Mac,
(2)   unsecuritized mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing
               Administration or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans'
               Affairs,
(3)   unsecuritized conventional mortgages,
(4)   other mortgage-related securities, or
(5)   any combination of these.

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


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


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

o     Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities. The Fund can buy these U.S.
 Treasury securities, called "TIPS," that are designed to provide an
 investment vehicle that is not vulnerable to inflation. The interest rate
 paid by TIPS is fixed. The principal value rises or falls semi-annually
 based on changes in the published Consumer Price Index. If inflation occurs,
 the principal and interest payments on TIPS are adjusted to protect
 investors from inflationary loss. If deflation occurs, the principal and
 interest payments will be adjusted downward, although the principal will not
 fall below its face amount at maturity.

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

o     U.S. Government Mortgage-Related Securities. The Fund can invest in a
 variety of mortgage-related securities that are issued by U.S. government
 agencies or instrumentalities, some of which are described below.

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

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

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


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

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

      Monthly payments of principal will be made, and additional prepayments
of principal may be made, to the Fund with respect to the mortgages
underlying the Ginnie Maes  held by the Fund. All of the mortgages in the
pools relating to the Ginnie Maes  in the Fund are subject to prepayment
without any significant premium or penalty, at the option of the mortgagors.
While the mortgages on 1-to-4-family dwellings underlying certain Ginnie
Maes  have a stated maturity of up to 30 years, it has been the experience of
the mortgage industry that the average life of comparable mortgages, as a
result of prepayments, refinancing and payments from foreclosures, is
considerably less.

o     Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Certificates.  FHLMC, a
 corporate instrumentality of the United States, issues FHLMC Certificates
 representing interests in mortgage loans.  FHLMC guarantees to each
 registered holder of a FHLMC Certificate timely payment of the amounts
 representing a holder's proportionate share in:
(i)   interest payments less servicing and guarantee fees,
(ii)  principal prepayments and
(iii) the ultimate collection of amounts representing the holder's
                  proportionate interest in principal payments on the
                  mortgage loans in the pool represented by the FHLMC
                  Certificate, in each case whether or not such amounts are
                  actually received.

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

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

|X|   Money Market Instruments. The following is a brief description of the
types of money market securities the Fund can invest in.  Those money market
securities are high-quality, short-term debt instruments that are issued by
the U.S. government, corporations, banks or other entities.  They may have
fixed, variable or floating interest rates.

o     U.S. Government Securities.  These include obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, as described above.

o     Bank Obligations.  The Fund can buy time deposits, certificates of
deposit and bankers' acceptances.  Time deposits, other than overnight
deposits, may be subject to withdrawal penalties, and if so, they are deemed
to be "illiquid" investments.

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

o     Commercial Paper.  The Fund can invest in commercial paper if it is
 rated within the top two rating categories of Standard & Poor's and Moody's.
 If the paper is not rated, it may be purchased if issued by a company having
 a credit rating of at least "AA" by Standard & Poor's or "Aa" by Moody's.

      The Fund can buy commercial paper, including U.S. dollar-denominated
securities of foreign branches of U.S. banks, issued by other entities if the
commercial paper is guaranteed as to principal and interest by a bank,
government or corporation whose certificates of deposit or commercial paper
may otherwise be purchased by the Fund.

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

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


      The Fund has no limitations on the type of issuer from whom these notes
will be purchased. However, in connection with such purchases and on an
ongoing basis, the Manager will consider the earning power, cash flow and
other liquidity ratios of the issuer, and its ability to pay principal and
interest on demand, including a situation in which all holders of such notes
made demand simultaneously.  Investments in master demand notes are subject
to the limitation on investments by the Fund in illiquid securities,
described in the Prospectus. The Fund does not intend that its investments in
variable amount master demand notes will exceed 5% of its total assets.


|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% annually. The Fund's portfolio turnover
rate will fluctuate from year to year, but the Fund expects to have a
portfolio turnover rate less than 100% or more annually.

      Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction
costs for the Fund. 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 may from time to time 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.

|X|   Foreign Securities. The Fund can purchase equity and debt securities
issued by foreign companies or foreign governments or their agencies.
"Foreign securities" include equity and debt securities of companies
organized under the laws of countries other than the United States and debt
securities of foreign governments and their agencies and instrumentalities.
Those securities 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 considered "foreign
securities" for the purpose of the Fund's investment allocations. That is
because they are subject to many of the special considerations and risks,
discussed below, that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

      Because the Fund  can purchase securities denominated in foreign
currencies, a change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S.
dollar could result in a change in the amount of income the Fund has
available for distribution.  Because a portion of the Fund's investment
income may be received in foreign currencies, the Fund will be required to
compute its income in U.S. dollars for distribution to shareholders, and
therefore the Fund will absorb the cost of currency fluctuations.  After the
Fund has distributed income, subsequent foreign currency losses may result in
the Fund's having distributed more income in a particular fiscal period than
was available from investment income, which could result in a return of
capital to shareholders.

      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.

o     Foreign Debt Obligations. The debt obligations of foreign governments
 and their agencies and instrumentalities may or may not be supported by the
 full faith and credit of the foreign government. The Fund can buy securities
 issued by certain "supra-national" entities, which include entities
 designated or supported by governments to promote economic reconstruction or
 development, international banking organizations and related government
 agencies. Examples are the International Bank for Reconstruction and
 Development (commonly called the "World Bank"), the Asian Development Bank
 and the Inter-American Development Bank.

      The governmental members of these supra-national entities are
"stockholders" that typically make capital contributions and may be committed
to make additional capital contributions if the entity is unable to repay its
borrowings. A supra-national entity's lending activities may be limited to a
percentage of its total capital, reserves and net income. There can be no
assurance that the constituent foreign governments will continue to be able
or willing to honor their capitalization commitments for those entities.

o     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. The Manager will consider these factors when evaluating
 securities in these markets, because the selection of those securities must
 be consistent with the Fund's goal of growth of capital.


o     Passive Foreign Investment Companies.  Some securities of corporations
domiciled outside the U.S. which the Fund may purchase, may be considered
passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs") under U.S. tax laws. PFICs are
those foreign corporations which generate primarily passive income. They tend
to be growth companies or "start-up" companies. For federal tax purposes, a
corporation is deemed a PFIC if 75% or more of the foreign corporation's
gross income for the income year is passive income or if 50% or more of its
assets are assets that produce or are held to produce passive income. Passive
income is further defined as any income to be considered foreign personal
holding company income within the subpart F provisions defined by IRCss.954.

      Investing in PFICs involves the risks associated with investing in
foreign securities, as described above. There are also the risks that the
Fund may not realize that a foreign corporation it invests in is a PFIC for
federal tax purposes. Federal tax laws impose severe tax penalties for
failure to properly report investment income from PFICs. Following industry
standards, the Fund makes every effort to ensure compliance with federal tax
reporting of these investments. PFICs are considered foreign securities for
the purposes of the Fund's minimum percentage requirements or limitations of
investing in foreign securities.

      Subject to the limits under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"Investment Company Act") and under its own non-fundamental policies, the
Fund may also invest in foreign mutual funds which are also deemed PFICs
(since nearly all of the income of a mutual fund is generally passive
income). Investing in these types of PFICs may allow exposure to varying
countries because some foreign countries limit, or prohibit, all direct
foreign investment in the securities of companies domiciled therein.

      In addition to bearing their proportionate share of a fund's expenses
(management fees and operating expenses), shareholders will also indirectly
bear similar expenses of such entities. Additional risks of investing in
other investment companies are described below under "Investment in 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 may be subject to 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.

|X|   "When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions.  The Fund can invest
in securities on a "when-issued" basis and can purchase or sell securities on
a "delayed-delivery" or "forward commitment" basis.  When-issued and
delayed-delivery are terms that refer to securities whose terms and indenture
are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for
immediate delivery.


      When such transactions are negotiated, the price (which is generally
expressed in yield terms) is fixed at the time the commitment is made.
Delivery and payment for the securities take place at a later date.  The
securities are subject to change in value from market fluctuations during the
period until settlement. The value at delivery may be less than the purchase
price. For example, changes in interest rates in a direction other than that
expected by the Manager before settlement will affect the value of such
securities and may cause a loss to the Fund. During the period between
purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the Fund to the issuer and no
interest accrues to the Fund from the investment.  No income begins to accrue
to the Fund on a when-issued security until the Fund receives the security at
settlement of the trade.

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


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

      At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase or sell a
security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it records the
transaction on its books and reflects the value of the security purchased in
determining the Fund's net asset value.  In a sale transaction, it records
the proceeds to be received. The Fund will identify on its books liquid
assets at least equal in value to the value of the Fund's purchase
commitments until the Fund pays for the investment. The Fund will not enter
into when-issued commitments if more than 15% of the Fund's net assets would
be committed under these transactions.

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


Derivatives. The Fund can invest in a variety of derivative investments to
seek income 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 is not obligated to use derivatives
in seeking its objective.

      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 might not be as high as
the Manager expected.

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

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

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

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

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

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

      The Fund will invest no more than 25% of its total assets in  "unfunded"
credit default swaps.  The Fund will limit its  investments in "funded" credit
default swap notes to no more than 10% of its total assets.

      Other  risks of credit  default  swaps  include  the cost of paying  for
credit  protection if there are no credit events,  pricing  transparency  when
assessing the cost of a credit default swap,  counterparty  risk, and the need
to  fund  the  delivery  obligation  (either  cash  or  the  defaulted  bonds,
depending on whether the Fund is long or short the swap, respectively).

      |X| Hedging. Although the Fund can use hedging instruments, it is not
obligated to use them in seeking its objective. 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 that 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) an individual stock ("single stock futures"), (3) bond indices
(these are referred to as "bond index futures"), (4) debt securities (these
are referred to as "interest rate futures"), (5) foreign currencies (these
are referred to as "forward contracts") and (6) commodities.

      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. Bond index futures are similar
contracts based on the future value of the basket of securities that comprise
the index. These contracts obligate the seller to deliver, and the purchaser
to take, cash to settle the futures transaction. There is no delivery made of
the underlying securities to settle the futures obligation. Either party may
also settle the transaction by entering into an offsetting contract.

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

      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 money 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"). The Fund can buy and sell
exchange-traded and over-the-counter put and call options, including index
options, securities options, currency options, commodities options, and
options on the other types of futures described above.

      |_| Writing Covered Call Options. The Fund can write (that is, sell)
covered calls. If the Fund sells a call option, it must be covered. That
means the Fund must own 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 obligations if
the call is exercised. Up to 35% of the Fund's 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.

      When the Fund writes an over-the-counter ("OTC") option, it will enter
into an arrangement with a primary U.S. government securities dealer which
will establish a formula price at which the Fund will have the absolute right
to repurchase that OTC option. The formula price will generally be based on a
multiple of the premium received for the option, plus the amount by which the
option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying security (that
is, the option is "in the money"). When the Fund writes an OTC option, it
will treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding illiquid
securities) the mark-to-market value of any OTC option it holds, unless the
option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.

      To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, the 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 can 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 25% of
the Fund's net assets would be required to be segregated to cover such put
options.

      If the Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by segregated liquid
assets. 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 identify liquid assets on its
books with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the
underlying securities. The Fund therefore forgoes the opportunity of
investing the segregated 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 puts whether or not it holds the underlying investment
in its portfolio. 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 an investment the Fund does not own (such as an index
or future) permits the Fund either to resell the put or to buy the underlying
investment and sell it at the exercise price. The resale price will vary
inversely to the price of the underlying investment. If the market price of
the underlying investment is above the exercise price and, as a result, the
put is not exercised, the put will become worthless on its expiration date.

      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 may buy a call or put 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.

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

      If the Manager anticipates a rise in the dollar value of a foreign
currency in which securities to be acquired are denominated, the increased
cost of those securities may be partially offset by purchasing calls or
writing puts on that foreign currency. If the Manager anticipates a decline
in the dollar value of a foreign currency, the decline in the dollar value of
portfolio securities denominated in that currency might be partially offset
by writing calls or purchasing puts on that foreign currency. However, the
currency rates could fluctuate in a direction adverse to the Fund's position.
The Fund will then have incurred option premium payments and transaction
costs without a corresponding benefit.

      A call the Fund writes on a foreign currency is "covered" if the Fund
owns the underlying foreign currency covered by the call or has an absolute
and immediate right to acquire that foreign currency without additional cash
consideration (or it can do so for additional cash consideration identified
on its books) upon conversion or exchange of other foreign currency held in
its portfolio.

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

      |_| 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 put, or buys or sells an underlying investment in
connection with the exercise of a call or put. Those commissions could be
higher on a relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales
of the underlying investments. Premiums paid for options are small in
relation to the market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, put
and call options offer large amounts of leverage. The leverage offered by
trading in options could result in 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  on
its books  liquid  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 may 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.

     |_| Interest Rate Swap Transactions.  The Fund can enter into interest rate
swap  agreements.  In an interest rate swap, the Fund and another party exchange
their right to receive or their  obligation  to pay interest on a security.  For
example,  they might swap the right to receive  floating rate payments for fixed
rate  payments.  The Fund can enter into swaps only on securities  that it owns.
The Fund will not enter into  swaps  with  respect to more than 25% of its total
assets.  Also, the Fund will identify liquid assets on the Fund's books (such as
cash or U.S.  government  securities)  to cover any  amounts  it could owe under
swaps that exceed the amounts it is entitled to receive, and it will adjust that
amount daily, as needed.

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

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

     |_| Regulatory  Aspects of Hedging  Instruments.  The  Commodities  Futures
Trading  Commission  (the "CFTC")  recently  eliminated  limitations  on futures
trading by certain regulated entities including registered  investment companies
and consequently registered investment companies may engage in unlimited futures
transactions and options thereon provided that the Fund claims an exclusion from
regulation as a commodity pool operator.  The Fund has claimed such an exclusion
from registration as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity  Exchange Act
("CEA").  The Fund may use futures  and  options  for  hedging  and  non-hedging
purposes to the extent consistent with its investment  objective,  internal risk
management  guidelines  adopted by the Fund's investment advisor (as they may be
amended from time to time), and as otherwise set forth in the Fund's  prospectus
or this statement of additional information.

     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  interpretations  of  the  staff  of  the  SEC  regarding  applicable
provisions of the Investment  Company Act, when the Fund purchases a future,  it
must  identify  liquid  assets on its books in an amount  equal to the  purchase
price of 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 income available for distribution to its shareholders.

     |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.

     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 Manager from time to time.

     The  majority  of these  transactions  run from  day to day,  and  delivery
pursuant to the resale typically occurs within one to five days of the purchase.
Repurchase  agreements  having a maturity  beyond  seven days are subject to 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 monitor the vendor's  creditworthiness  to confirm that the
vendor is  financially  sound and will  continuously  monitor  the  collateral's
value.

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

o    Reverse  Repurchase  Agreements.   The  Fund  can  use  reverse  repurchase
     agreements  on  debt  obligations  it  owns.  Under  a  reverse  repurchase
     agreement,  the Fund sells an underlying debt obligation and simultaneously
     agrees  to  repurchase  the same  security  at an  agreed-upon  price at an
     agreed-upon  date.  The Fund will identify on its books liquid assets in an
     amount  sufficient  to  cover  its  obligations  under  reverse  repurchase
     agreements, including interest, until payment is made to the seller.

     These transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities
sold by the Fund under a reverse  repurchase  agreement  could decline below the
price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase  them.  These  agreements are
considered  borrowings  by the Fund and will be  subject  to the asset  coverage
requirement under the Fund's policy on borrowing discussed below.

|X|  Illiquid and Restricted Securities. 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 may 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  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.

|X|  Loans of Portfolio  Securities.  The Fund may lend its portfolio securities
     pursuant to the  Securities  Lending  Agreement  (the  "Securities  Lending
     Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase, subject to the restrictions stated in the
     Prospectus.  The Fund will lend such  portfolio  securities  to  attempt to
     increase the Fund's  income.  Under the  Securities  Lending  Agreement and
     applicable regulatory  requirements (which are subject to change), the loan
     collateral  must,  on each  business day, be at least equal to the value of
     the loaned  securities and must consist of cash,  bank letters of credit or
     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 to
     JP Morgan Chase, as agent, amounts demanded by the Fund if the demand meets
     the terms of the letter. Such terms of the letter of credit and the issuing
     bank must be  satisfactory  to JP Morgan Chase and the Fund.  The Fund will
     receive,  pursuant to the Securities Lending  Agreement,  80% of all annual
     net income (i.e.,  net of rebates to the Borrower) from securities  lending
     transactions.  JP Morgan Chase has agreed,  in general,  to  guarantee  the
     obligations of borrowers to return loaned  securities and to be responsible
     for expenses relating to securities lending.  The Fund will be responsible,
     however,  for risks  associated  with the  investment  of cash  collateral,
     including  the risk  that the  issuer  of the  security  in which  the cash
     collateral has been invested defaults. The Securities Lending Agreement may
     be  terminated  by either JP Morgan  Chase or the Fund on 30 days'  written
     notice. The terms of the Fund's loans must also meet applicable tests under
     the  Internal  Revenue  Code  and  permit  the  Fund  to  reacquire  loaned
     securities  on  five  business  days'  notice  or in  time  to  vote on any
     important matter.

|X|  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  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 Fund's 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|  Temporary  Defensive  and Interim  Investments.  When  market,  economic or
     political 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 and the types of money market
     instruments  described  above.  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 to reinvest cash received from the sale of
     other portfolio securities.  The Fund's temporary defensive investments can
     include  the   following   short-term   (maturing  in  one  year  or  less)
     dollar-denominated debt obligations:

     o    obligations  issued  or  guaranteed  by the U.  S.  government  or its
          instrumentalities or agencies,

     o    commercial paper (short-term,  unsecured, promissory notes of domestic
          or  foreign  companies)  rated in the top two rating  categories  of a
          nationally-recognized rating organization,

     o    short-term debt  obligations of corporate  issuers,  rated  investment
          grade (rated at least Baa by Moody's or at least BBB by Standard &
          Poor's,  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    certificates  of deposit and  bankers'  acceptances  of  domestic  and
          foreign banks having total assets in excess of $1 billion, 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.

Other 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  principal  investment  policies  are  described in the
Prospectus.

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

     o    The Fund cannot buy securities  issued or guaranteed by any one issuer
          if more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of
          that  issuer.  This  limitation  applies  to 75% of the  Fund's  total
          assets.

     o    The Fund cannot purchase more than 10% of any class of security of any
          issuer.  All outstanding debt securities and all preferred stock of an
          issuer is considered as one class.  This restriction does not apply to
          securities  issued by the U.S.  government  or any of its  agencies or
          instrumentalities.

     o    The Fund  cannot  concentrate  its  investments.  That means it cannot
          invest 25% or more of its total assets in any industry. However, there
          is  no  limitation  on  investments  in  U.S.  government  securities.
          Moreover,  if deemed appropriate for seeking its investment objective,
          the Fund may invest less than 25% of its total  assets  (valued at the
          time of  investment)  in any one industry  classification  used by the
          Fund for  investment  purposes.  Under  this  restriction,  a  foreign
          government is considered an "industry."

     o    The Fund  cannot  borrow  money in excess of one third of the value of
          its total  assets.  The Fund can borrow  only from banks and only as a
          temporary  measure for extraordinary or emergency  purposes.  The Fund
          will make no additional  investments while borrowings exceed 5% of the
          Fund's total  assets.  The Fund can borrow only if it maintains a 300%
          ratio of assets to  borrowings at all times in the manner set forth in
          the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     o    The Fund  cannot  make  loans to any  person or  individual.  However,
          portfolio  securities  may be loaned by the Fund within the limits set
          forth in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

     o    The  Fund  cannot  invest  in  real  estate  or  real  estate  limited
          partnerships (direct  participation  programs).  However, the Fund can
          purchase  securities of issuers that engage in real estate  operations
          and  securities  that are secured by real estate or  interests in real
          estate.

     o    The Fund  cannot  invest  for the  purpose  of  exercising  control or
          management of another company.

     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 or hold securities of any issuer if officers
          and  Trustees of the Fund or  officers  and  directors  of its Manager
          individually beneficially own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities of
          that issuer and  together own more than 5% of the  securities  of that
          issuer.

     o    The Fund cannot invest in physical  commodities or physical  commodity
          contracts.  However,  the Fund may buy and sell hedging instruments to
          the extent  specified in its  Prospectus  and  Statement of Additional
          Information from time to time. The Fund can also buy and sell options,
          futures,  and  securities  or other  instruments  backed  by  physical
          commodities  or whose  investment  return is linked to  changes in the
          price of physical commodities.

     o    The Fund cannot purchase warrants that would cause more than 5% of the
          Fund's total assets to be invested in warrants, or more than 2% of its
          total assets to be invested in warrants that are not listed on The New
          York Stock Exchange or The American Stock Exchange.

     o    The Fund cannot pledge its assets, or assign or otherwise encumber its
          assets in an  amount in excess of 10% of the value of its net  assets.
          It can pledge, assign or encumber its assets only to secure borrowings
          that  comply  with the limits set forth in the Fund's  Prospectus  and
          Statement of Additional Information.

     o    The Fund cannot issue senior  securities (as defined in the Investment
          Company  Act of 1940).  However,  the Fund can enter  into  repurchase
          agreements, borrow money in accordance with the restrictions set forth
          in its other fundamental policies and lend its portfolio securities.

|X|  Does the Fund Have Any Restrictions That Are Not Fundamental?  The Fund has
     a  number  of  other  investment  restrictions  that  are  not  fundamental
     policies,  which  means that they can be  changed by the Board of  Trustees
     without shareholder approval.

     o    The Fund  cannot  invest in  interests  in oil,  gas or other  mineral
          exploration or development programs or leases.

     o    The Fund cannot make short  sales or  purchase  securities  on margin.
          However,  the Fund can make  short-term  borrowings when necessary for
          the  clearance  of  purchases  of  portfolio  securities.   Collateral
          arrangements in connection with futures and options  transactions  are
          not deemed to be margin transactions under this restriction.

     o    The Fund cannot invest in securities  of other  registered  investment
          companies  or  registered  unit  investment   trusts  in  reliance  on
          sub-paragraph (F) or (G) of section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company
          Act.

     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  (except  in the case of  borrowing  and
investments in illiquid  securities).  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  B  to  this  Statement  of  Additional  Information.  This  is  not  a
fundamental policy.

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

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

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

A list of the top 20 portfolio  securities  holdings (based on invested assets),
listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each month may be disclosed to
third  parties  (subject to the  procedures  below) no sooner than 15 days after
month-end. The top 20 holdings also shall be posted on the Companies' website at
www.oppenheimerfunds.com   in  the  "Fund  Profiles"   section.   Other  general
information about a Fund's portfolio investments,  such as portfolio composition
by asset class, industry, country, currency, credit rating or maturity, may also
be posted with a 15-day lag.

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

o     The third-party recipient must
         first submit a request for
         release of Fund portfolio
         holdings, explaining the
         business reason for the request;
o     Senior officers (a Senior Vice
         President or above) in the
         Investment Advisor's Portfolio
         and Legal departments must
         approve the completed request
         for release of Fund portfolio
         holdings; and
o     The third-party recipient must
         sign the Investment Advisor's
         portfolio holdings
         non-disclosure agreement before
         receiving the data, agreeing to
         keep confidential information
         that is not publicly available
         regarding a Fund's holdings and
         agreeing not to trade directly
         or indirectly based on the
         information.

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

o     Employees of the Fund's Investment
         Advisor, Distributor and
         Transfer Agent who need to have
         access to such information (as
         determined by senior officers
         of such entity),
o     The Fund's certified public
         accountants and auditors,
o     Members of the Fund's Board and
         the Board's legal counsel,
o     The Fund's custodian bank,
o     A proxy voting service designated
         by the Fund and its Board,
o     Rating/ranking organizations (such
         as Lipper and Morningstar),
o     Portfolio pricing services
         retained by the Investment
         Advisor to provide portfolio
         security prices, and
o     Dealers, to obtain bids (price
         quotations, because securities
         are not priced by the Fund's
         regular pricing services).

Portfolio  holdings  information  of a  Fund  may  be  provided,  under  limited
circumstances,  to  brokers  and  dealers  or with whom the Fund  trades  and/or
entities  that  provide  investment   coverage  and/or  analytical   information
regarding the Fund's portfolio,  provided that there is a legitimate  investment
reason for  providing the  information  to the broker or dealer or other entity.
Month-end portfolio holdings information may, under this procedure,  be provided

      NAMES TO BE INSERTED HERE]


How the Fund is Managed

Organization  and  History.  The  Fund is an  open-end,  diversified  management
investment  company.  The Fund is one of three series of  Oppenheimer  Quest For
Value Funds (the "Trust"),  an open-end management  investment company organized
as a Massachusetts business trust in April 1987.

|X|  Classes  of  Shares.  The  Trustees  are  authorized,  without  shareholder
     approval,  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.

     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.  Only
retirement  plans  may  purchase  Class N  shares.  Only  certain  institutional
investors may elect to purchase Class Y shares. 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.

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

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

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

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

Board of Trustees and Oversight  Committees.  The Fund is governed by a Board of
Trustees,  which is responsible  for  protecting  the interests of  shareholders
under  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.

     The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee  which is comprised  solely of
Independent  Trustees.  The members of the Audit  Committee  are Paul Y. Clinton
(Chairman),  Thomas W.  Courtney,  Robert B. Galli,  Lacy B.  Herrmann and Brian
Wruble.  The Audit  Committee  met ___ times during the Fund's fiscal year ended
October 31, 2004.

     The Audit Committee furnishes the Board with recommendations  regarding the
selection of the Fund's  independent  auditor.  The Audit Committee also reviews
the scope and results of audits and the audit fees charged, reviews reports from
the  Fund's  independent  auditors  concerning  the Fund's  internal  accounting
procedures and controls,  and reviews reports of the Manager's  internal auditor
among other duties as set forth in the Committee's charter.

     The Audit Committee's  functions  include selecting and nominating,  to the
full Board,  nominees for election as Directors  and  selecting  and  nominating
Independent  Trustees  for  election.  The Audit  Committee  may,  but need not,
consider  the advice and  recommendation  of the Manager and its  affiliates  in
selecting  nominees.  The full  Board  elects  new  Trustees  except  for  those
instances when a shareholder vote is required.





     To date,  the Committee has been able to identify from its own resources an
ample number of qualified candidates. Nonetheless, shareholders may submit names
of individuals,  accompanied by complete and properly supported resumes, for the
Audit Committee's  consideration by mailing such information to the Committee in
care of the Fund.  The  Committee  may consider  such persons at such time as it
meets to consider possible nominees. The Committee,  however,  reserves the sole
discretion  to  determine  the   candidates  to  present  to  the  Board  and/or
shareholders when it meets for the purpose of considering potential nominees.

     Trustees and Office of the Trustees of the Fund.  Each of the  Trustees is
an "Independent  Trustee" under the Investment  Company Act. The Fund's Trustees
and  officers  and their  positions  held with the Fund and length of service in
such  position(s)  and their  principal  occupations  and business  affiliations
during the past five years are listed in the chart below.  The  information  for
the Trustees also includes the dollar range of shares of the Fund as well as the
aggregate  dollar range of shares  beneficially  owned in any of the Oppenheimer
funds  overseen  by the  Trustees.  All of the  Trustees  are also  trustees  or
directors of the following Oppenheimer funds (referred to as "Board III Funds"):

Oppenheimer  Quest For  Value  Funds,

      In addition to being a trustee or director of the Board III Funds, Mr.
Galli is also a director or trustee of 25 other portfolios in the
OppenheimerFunds complex. Present or former officers, directors, trustees and
employees (and their immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and
its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their employees
are permitted to purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other
Oppenheimer funds at net asset value without sales charge. The sales charge
on Class A shares is waived for that group because of the economies of sales
efforts realized by the Distributor.

      Messrs. Gillespie, Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey, Vottiero, Wixted and
Zack and Meses. Bloomberg and Ives, who are officers of the Fund,
respectively hold the same offices of one or more of the other Board III
Funds as with the Fund. As of January __, 2005, the Trustees and officers of
the Fund, as a group, owned of record or beneficially less than 1% of each
class of shares of the Fund. The foregoing statement does not reflect
ownership of shares of the Fund held of record by an employee benefit plan
for employees of the Manager, other than the shares beneficially owned under
the plan by the officers of the Fund listed above. In addition, each
Independent Trustee (and their immediate family members), do not own
securities of either the Manager, Distributor of the Board III Funds or any
person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common
control with the Manager, Distributor.

      The address of each Trustee in the chart below is 6803 S. Tucson Way,
Centennial, CO 80112-3924. Each Trustee serves for an indefinite term, until
his or her resignation, retirement, death or removal.

|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 Funds for at least seven years in order to be eligible for
retirement plan benefits and must serve for at least 15 years to be eligible
for the maximum benefit. Each Trustee's retirement benefits will depend on
the amount of the Trustee's future compensation and length of service.

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

      The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund's registration statement
filed with the SEC and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public
Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain information about the hours
of operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at

|X|   Portfolio Proxy Voting.  The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting
Policies and Procedures under which the Fund votes proxies relating to
securities ("portfolio proxies") held by the Fund. The Fund's primary
consideration in voting portfolio proxies is the financial interests of the
Fund and its shareholders. The Fund has retained an unaffiliated third-party
as its agent to vote portfolio proxies in accordance with the Fund's
Portfolio Proxy Voting Guidelines and to maintain records of such portfolio
proxy voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines include provisions to address
conflicts of interest that may arise between the Fund and OFI where an OFI
directly-controlled affiliate manages or administers the assets of a pension
plan of a company soliciting the proxy. The Fund's Portfolio Proxy Voting
Guidelines on routine and non-routine proxy proposals are summarized below.

o     The Fund votes with the recommendation of the issuer's management on
            routine matters, including election of directors nominated by
            management and ratification of auditors, unless circumstances indicate
            otherwise.
o     In general, the Fund opposes anti-takeover proposals and supports
            elimination of anti-takeover proposals, absent unusual circumstances.
o     The Fund supports shareholder proposals to reduce a super-majority vote
            requirement, and opposes management proposals to add a super-majority
            vote requirement.
o     The Fund opposes proposals to classify the board of directors.
o     The Fund supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.
o     The Fund opposes re-pricing of stock options.
o     The Fund generally considers executive compensation questions such as
            stock option plans and bonus plans to be ordinary business activity.
            The Fund analyzes stock option plans, paying particular attention to
            their dilutive effect. While the Fund generally supports management
            proposals, the Fund opposes plans it considers to be excessive.

      The Fund is required to file new Form N-PX, with its complete proxy
voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of
each year. The Fund's Form N-PX filing is available (i) without charge, upon
request, by calling the Fund toll-free at  1.800.525-7048 and (ii) on the
SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
                 -----------

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 the Fund's 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 Departments
provide the portfolio manager with counsel and support in managing the Fund's
portfolio.

      The investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to enter into
sub-advisory agreements with other registered investment advisers to obtain
specialized services for the Fund, as long as the Fund is not obligated to
pay any additional fees for those services. Prior to December 31, 2004, the
Manager retained OpCap Advisors (the "Former Sub-Advisor") pursuant to a
separate Sub-Advisory Agreement, under which the Sub-Advisor bought and sold
portfolio securities for the Fund. The Sub-Advisory Agreement expired on
December 31, 2004.

      The investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Manager
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. Expenses for the Trust's three series are allocated to
the series in proportion to their net assets, unless allocations of expenses
can be made directly to a series. The advisory agreement lists examples of
expenses paid by the Fund. The major categories relate to calculation of the
Fund's net asset values per share, 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 management fees paid by
the Fund to the Manager during its last three fiscal years were:

         1.The Manager, not the Fund, paid the Sub-Advisor an annual
           sub-advisory fee. For fiscal years 2002, 2003 and 2004,
           this sub-advisory fee was $6,711,712, $6,316,831 and
           $_______, respectively.

      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 resulting from a
good faith error or omission on its part with respect to any of its duties
under the agreement.

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

      |X|Annual  Approval of Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  Each year,  the
Board of  Directors,  including a majority of the  Independent  Directors,  is
required to approve  the renewal of the  investment  advisory  agreement.  The
Investment  Company Act requires  that the Board  request and evaluate and the
Manager  provide such  information as may be reasonably  necessary to evaluate
the  terms  of the  investment  advisory  agreements.  The  Board  employs  an
independent  consultant to prepare a report that provides such  information as
the Board requests for this purpose.

      The Board also receives information about the 12b-1 distribution fees
the Fund pays. These distribution fees are reviewed and approved at a
different time of the year.

      The Board reviewed the foregoing information in arriving at its
decision to renew the investment advisory agreements. Among other factors,
the Board considered:
o     The nature, cost, and quality of the services provided to the Fund and
         its shareholders;
o     The profitability of the Fund to the Manager;
o     The investment performance of the Fund in comparison to regular market
         indices;
o     Economies of scale that may be available to the Fund from the Manager;
o     Fees paid by other mutual funds for similar services;
o     The value and quality of any other benefits or services received by the
         Fund from its relationship with the Manager, and
o     The direct and indirect benefits the Manager received from its
         relationship with the Fund. These included services provided by the
         Distributor and the Transfer Agent, and brokerage and soft dollar
         arrangements permissible under Section 28(e) of the Securities
         Exchange Act.

      The Board considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain
high quality personnel at competitive rates to provide services to the Fund.
The Board also considered that maintaining the financial viability of the
Manager is important so that they will be able to continue to provide quality
services to the Fund and its shareholders in adverse times. The Board also
considered the investment performance of other mutual funds advised by the
Manager. The Board is aware that there are alternatives to the use of the
Manager.

      These matters were also considered by the Independent Directors,
meeting separately from the full Board with experienced Counsel to the Fund
who assisted the Board in its deliberations. The Fund's Counsel is
independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the SEC Rules
regarding the independence of counsel.

      After careful deliberation, the Board, including the Independent
Directors, concluded that it was in the best interest of shareholders to
continue the investment advisory agreements for another year. In arriving at
a decision, the Board did not single out any one factor or group of factors
as being more important than other factors, but considered all factors
together. The Board judged the terms and conditions of the investment
advisory agreements, including the investment advisory fee, in light of all
of the surrounding circumstances. After deliberating the Board approved the
following new fee schedule effective January 1, 2005: the Fund will pay the
Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate that declines as the Fund's assets
grow: 0.85% of the first $1 billion of average annual net assets of the Fund,
0.80% of the next $500 million, 0.75% of the next $500 million, 0.70% of the
next $500 million, 0.65% of the next $500 million, 0.60% of the next $500
million, 0.55% of the next $500 million and 0.50% of average annual net
assets in excess of $4 billion.

The Former Sub-Advisor. From the Fund's inception on April 30, 1980 until
November 22, 1995, the Sub-Advisor (which was then named Quest for Value
Advisors) served as the Fund's investment advisor. On November 22, 1995, the
Manager became the Fund's investment advisor and retained OpCap Advisor to
continue providing day-to-day portfolio management for the Fund from that
date, until December 31, 2004.

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 Fund's investment advisory agreement
with the Manager contains provisions relating to the employment of
broker-dealers to effect the Fund's portfolio transactions. The Manager is
authorized 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, in choosing brokers to execute
portfolio transactions for the Fund, the Manager may select brokers (other
than affiliates) that provide brokerage and/or research services to the Fund
and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates have
investment discretion.  The commissions paid to those brokers may be higher
than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a good faith
determination that the concession is fair and reasonable in relation to the
services provided.
Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act prohibits (effective December 13,
2004) any fund from compensating a broker or dealer for promoting or selling
the fund's shares by (1) directing to that broker or dealer any of the fund's
portfolio transactions, or (2) directing any other remuneration to that
broker or dealer, such as commissions, mark-ups, mark downs or other fees
from the fund's portfolio transactions, that were effected by another broker
or dealer (these latter arrangements are considered to be a type of
"step-out" transaction). In other words, a fund and its investment advisor
cannot use the fund's brokerage for the purpose of rewarding broker-dealers
for selling the fund's shares. However, the Rule permits funds to effect
brokerage transactions through firms that also sell fund shares, provided
that certain procedures are adopted to prevent a quid pro quo with respect to
portfolio brokerage allocations. As permitted by the Rule, the Manager has
adopted procedures (and the Fund's Board of Trustees has approved those
procedures) that permit the Fund to direct portfolio securities transactions
to brokers or dealers that also promote or sell shares of the Fund, subject
to the "best execution" considerations discussed above. Those procedures are
designed to prevent: (1) the Manager's personnel who effect the Fund's
portfolio transactions from taking into account a broker's or dealer's
promotion or sales of the Fund shares when allocating the Fund's portfolio
transactions, and (2) the Fund, the Manager and the Distributor from entering
into agreements or understandings under which the Manager directs or is
expected to direct the Fund's brokerage directly, or through a "step-out"
arrangement, to any broker or dealer in consideration of that broker's or
dealer's promotion or sale of the Fund's shares or the shares of any of the
other Oppenheimer funds.


Brokerage Practices. Brokerage for the Fund is allocated subject to the
provisions of the investment advisory agreement and the Manager's and the
procedures and rules described above. Generally, the Manager's portfolio
traders allocate brokerage based upon recommendations from the Fund's
portfolio manager. In certain instances, portfolio managers may directly
place trades and allocate brokerage. In either case, the 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.

      The Manager serves as investment manager to a number of clients,
including other investment companies, and may in the future act as investment
manager or advisor to others. It is the practice of the Manager to allocate
purchase or sale transactions among the Fund and other clients whose assets
it manages in a manner it deems equitable. In making those allocations, the
Manager considers several main factors, including the respective investment
objectives, the relative size of portfolio holdings of the same or comparable
securities, the availability of cash for investment, the size of investment
commitments generally held and the opinions of the persons responsible for
managing the portfolios of the Fund and each other client's accounts.

      When orders to purchase or sell the same security on identical terms
are placed by more than one of the funds and/or other advisory accounts
managed by the Manager  or its affiliates, the transactions are generally
executed as received, although a fund or advisory account that does not
direct trades to a specific broker (these are called "free trades") usually
will have its order executed first. Orders placed by accounts that direct
trades to a specific broker will generally be executed after the free trades.
All orders placed on behalf of the Fund are considered free trades. However,
having an order placed first in the market does not necessarily guarantee the
most favorable price. Purchases are combined where possible for the purpose
of negotiating brokerage commissions. In some cases that practice might have
a detrimental effect on the price or volume of the security in a particular
transaction for the Fund.

      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 research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and
supplement the research activities of the Manager. That research provides
additional views and comparisons for consideration, and helps the Manager to
obtain market information for the valuation of securities that are either
held in the Fund's portfolio or are being considered for purchase. The
Manager provides information to the Manager and 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 Trust,
the Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous
public offering of the Fund's classes of shares. The Distributor bears the
expenses normally attributable to sales, including advertising and the cost
of printing and mailing prospectuses, other than those furnished to existing
shareholders. The Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific number of
shares.

      The sales charges and concessions paid to, or retained by, the
Distributor from the sale of shares and the contingent deferred sales charges

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service
Plans for Class A, 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. Each
plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of Trustees, including a
majority of the Independent Trustees1, cast in person at a meeting called for
the purpose of voting on that plan.

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

      Financial intermediaries, brokers and dealers may receive other
payments from the Distributor or the Manager from their own resources in
connection with the promotion and/or sale of shares of the Fund, including
payments to defray expenses incurred in connection with educational seminars
and meetings.  The Manager or Distributor may share expenses incurred by
financial intermediaries in conducting training and educational meetings
about aspects of the Fund for employees of the intermediaries or for hosting
client seminars or meetings at which the Fund is discussed.  In their sole
discretion, the Manager and/or the Distributor may increase or decrease the
amount of payments they make from their own resources for these purposes.

      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 72 months after purchase, the Fund
must obtain the approval of both Class A and Class B shareholders for a
proposed material amendment to the Class A the plan that would materially
increase payments under the plan. That approval must be by a majority of the
shares of each class, voting separately by class.

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

      Each plan states that while it is in effect, the selection and
nomination of those Trustees of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of
the Fund 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 plans 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 for personal services and account
maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold Class A
shares. The services include, among others, answering customer inquiries
about the Fund, assisting in establishing and maintaining accounts in the
Fund, making the Fund's investment plans available and providing other
services at the request of the Fund or the Distributor. The Class A service
plan permits compensation to the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of
average annual net assets of Class A shares. The Distributor does not receive
or retain the service fee on Class A shares in accounts for which the
Distributor has been listed as the broker-dealer of record. The Board
Trustees has set that rate. While the plan permits the Board to authorize
payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for services under the plan,
the Board has not yet done so, except in the case of the special arrangement
described below, regarding grandfathered retirement accounts. The Distributor
makes payments to plan recipients quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed
0.25% of the average annual net assets consisting of Class A shares held in
the accounts of the recipients or their customers.

      Under the Class A distribution plan, the plan provides for the Fund to
pay an asset-based sales charge to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25%
of average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. Effective January
1, 2003, the Board set that rate to zero. Prior to that date, the Fund paid
the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge equal to 0.15% of average
annual net assets representing Class A shares purchased before September 1,
1993, and 0.10% of average annual net assets representing Class A shares
purchased on or after that date. The Distributor paid the entire asset-based
sales charge to brokers, dealers and financial institutions.

      Under the Class A distribution plan, the plan provides for the Fund to
pay an asset-based sales charge to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25%
of average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. Effective January
1, 2003, the Board set that rate to zero. Prior to that date, the Fund paid
the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge equal to 0.15% of average
annual net assets representing Class A shares purchased before September 1,
1993, and 0.10% of average annual net assets representing Class A shares
purchased on or after that date. The Distributor paid the entire asset-based
sales charge to brokers, dealers and financial institutions.

      With respect to purchases of Class A shares subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge by certain retirement plans that purchased such shares
prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts"), the Distributor
currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the
first year after the shares are purchased. During the first year the shares
are sold, the Distributor retains the service fee to reimburse itself for the
costs of distributing the shares. After the first year shares are
outstanding, the Distributor makes service fee payments to recipients
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 A shares purchased by grandfathered
retirement accounts 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.

      For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 payments under the Class A
distribution and service plan totaled $_________, of which $_______ was
service fee payments retained by the Distributor in connection with the
grandfathered retirement accounts, described above, and included $_______
paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's parent company. In addition,
$______ was retained for the asset-based sales charge, as allowed under the
plan prior to January 1, 2003. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor
incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered
in subsequent years. The Distributor may not use payments received under the
Class A 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 Distribution and Service Plan Fees. Under
each plan, distribution and service fees are computed on the average of the
net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the close
of each regular business day during the period. Each plan provides for the
Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor's
distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund
under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid. The types of
services that recipients provide are similar to the services provided under
the Class A service plan, described above.

      Each plan permits the Distributor to retain both the asset-based sales
charges and the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a
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 Class B, Class C and Class N shares are purchased. After the
first year Class B, Class C or Class N shares are outstanding, after their
purchase, the Distributor makes 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. Class B, Class C or Class N
shares may not be purchased by an investor directly from the Distributor
without the investor designating another broker-dealer of record.  If the
investor no longer has another broker-dealer of record for an existing
account, the Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of
record, but solely for the purpose of acting as the investor's agent to
purchase the shares.  In those cases, the Distributor retains the asset-based
sales charge paid on Class B, Class C and Class N shares, but does not retain
any service fees as to the assets represented by that account.

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

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

      The asset-based sales charge 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 charge 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,
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.

      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.

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 1.800.225.5677 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 SEC. 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.

      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 not 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 those
investments, the types of investments the Fund holds, and its operating
expenses that are allocated to the particular class.

      |X|   Total Return Information. There are different types of "total
returns" to measure the Fund's performance. Total return is the change in
value of a hypothetical investment in the Fund over a given period, assuming
that all dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested in
additional shares and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the
period. Because of differences in expenses for each class of shares, the
total returns for each class are separately measured. The cumulative total
return measures the change in value over the entire period (for example, ten
years). An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for
each year in a period that would produce the cumulative total return over the
entire period. However, average annual total returns do not show actual
year-by-year performance. The Fund 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" in the formula below) (unless the return is
shown without sales charge, as described below). For Class B shares, payment
of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge is applied, depending on
the period for which the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in the
second year, 3.0% in the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0%
in the sixth year and none thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1.0%
contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year
period. For Class N shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge is
deducted for returns for the one-year period, and total returns for the
periods prior to 03/01/01 (the inception date for Class N shares) are based
on the Fund's Class A returns, adjusted to reflect the higher Class N 12b-1
fees. There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.


o     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:

ERV   l/n - 1  Average Annual Total
               Return
  P

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

           - 1 = Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on
ATVD   l/n     Distributions)
---
  P

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

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

o     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

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

      Morningstar proprietary star ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted
total investment return. For each fund with at least a three-year history,
Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating(TM)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 three-, five-and ten-year (if applicable)
Morningstar Rating metrics.

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

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 C contains more information about the
special sales charge arrangements offered by the Fund, and the circumstances
in which sales charges may be reduced or waived for certain classes of
investors.


When you purchase shares of the Fund, your ownership interest in the shares
of the Fund will be recorded as a book entry on the records of the Fund.  The
Fund will not issue or re-register physical share certificates.

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


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

      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.

The Oppenheimer Funds. The Oppenheimer funds are those mutual funds for which
the Distributor acts as the distributor and currently include the following:

Centennial America Fund, L. P.              Centennial New York Tax Exempt Trust
Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust      Centennial Tax Exempt Trust

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

Letters of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent ("Letter"), 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. Letters do not consider Class C or Class N shares you purchase or may
have purchased.

      A Letter 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
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
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. 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.

      If the total eligible purchases made during the Letter 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 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.  If the intended  purchase  amount under a Letter
entered into by an OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plan is not purchased by
the plan by the end of the  Letter  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 period
will be deducted. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the
investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter when placing any purchase
orders for the investor during the Letter 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 13-month Letter period, the escrowed shares will be
promptly released to the investor.

      3. If, at the end of the 13-month Letter 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 sixty 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. As explained in the Prospectus, you must initially
establish your account with $500. Subsequently, you can establish an Asset
Builder Plan to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank
account for as little as $50. For those accounts established prior to
November 1, 2002 and which have previously established Asset Builder Plans,
additional purchases will remain at $25. 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 fund account to make monthly automatic
purchases of shares of up to four other Oppenheimer funds.

      If you make 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 you 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 charges or at reduced sales charge rates, as
described in an Appendix 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 $1 million in assets invested in
applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market funds),
then the retirement plan may purchase only Class C shares of the Oppenheimer
funds.  If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record
keeping service agreement the plan has $1 million or more in assets but less
than $5 million in assets invested in applicable investments (other than
assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase
only Class N shares of the Oppenheimer funds.  If on the date the plan
sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement the plan
has $5 million or more in assets invested in applicable investments (other
than assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may
purchase only Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds.


      OppenheimerFunds has entered into arrangements with certain record
keepers whereby the Transfer Agent compensates the record keeper for its
record keeping and account servicing functions that it performs on behalf of
the participant level accounts of a retirement plan. While such compensation
may act to reduce the record keeping fees charged by the retirement plan's
record keeper, that compensation arrangement may be terminated at any time,
potentially affecting the record keeping fees charged by the retirement
plan's record keeper.

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


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

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


      The Distributor will not accept purchase order of $100,000 or more for
Class B shares or a purchase order of $1 million or more to purchase Class C
shares on behalf of a single investor (not including dealer "street name" or
omnibus accounts).


      Class A Shares Subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. For
purchases of Class A shares at net asset value whether or not subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge as described in the Prospectus, no sales
concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of record, 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 Class A 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 72 months after purchase is not treated as a
taxable event for the shareholder. If those laws or the IRS interpretation of
those laws should change, the automatic conversion feature may be suspended.
In that event, no further conversions of Class B shares would occur while
that suspension remained in effect. Although Class B shares could then be
exchanged for Class A shares on the basis of relative net asset value of the
two classes, without the imposition of a sales charge or fee, such exchange
could constitute a taxable event for the shareholder, and absent such
exchange, Class B shares might continue to be subject to the asset-based
sales charge for longer than six years.

      |X|   Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of
the types of retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained in
the prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:
o     to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),
o     to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans,
            Profit-Sharing Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans,
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 C 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:
         purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a
            retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption
            proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds
            (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle
            or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer
            funds),
         purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a
            retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption
            proceeds of  Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held
            by the plan for more than one year (other than rollovers from an
            OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to
            any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds), and
         on purchases of Class N shares by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored
            Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan made with the redemption
            proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds.

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

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

      The methodology for calculating the net asset value, dividends and
distributions of the Fund's share classes recognizes two types of expenses.
General expenses that do not pertain specifically to any one class are
allocated pro rata to the shares of all classes. The allocation is based on
the percentage of 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).


Fund Account Fees. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual "Minimum Balance
Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a share balance valued under $500.
The Minimum Balance Fee is automatically deducted from each such Fund account
on or about the second to last business day of September.

      Listed below are certain cases in which the Fund has elected, in its
discretion, not to assess the Fund Account Fees.  These exceptions are
subject to change:
         A fund account whose shares were acquired after September 30th of
            the prior year;
o     A fund account that has a balance below $500 due to the automatic
            conversion of shares from Class B to Class A shares. However,
            once all Class B shares held in the account have been converted
            to Class A shares the new account balance may become subject to
            the Minimum Balance Fee;
o     Accounts of shareholders who elect to access their account documents
            electronically via eDoc Direct;
o     A fund account that has only certificated shares and, has a balance
            below $500 and is being escheated;
o     Accounts of shareholders that are held by broker-dealers under the NSCC
            Fund/SERV system;
o     Accounts held under the Oppenheimer Legacy Program and/or holding
            certain Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds;
o     Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle, Ascender,
            Custom Plus, Recordkeeper Pro and Pension Alliance Retirement
            Plan programs; and
o     A fund account that falls below the $500 minimum solely due to market
            fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the
            fee is deducted.

discretion.


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 Exchange on each day that the Exchange is open. The
calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets
attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are
outstanding. The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, but may
close earlier on some other days (for example, in case of weather emergencies
or on days falling before a U.S. holiday). All references to time in this
Statement of Additional Information mean "Eastern time." The Exchange's most
recent annual announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will
close on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.

      Dealers other than Exchange members may conduct trading in certain
securities on days on which the Exchange is closed (including weekends and
holidays) or after 4:00 P.M. on a regular business day. Because the Fund's
net asset values will not be calculated on those days, the Fund's net asset
values per share may be significantly affected on 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 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 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. The Manager, or an internal valuation committee established
by the Manager, as applicable, may establish a valuation, under procedures
established by the Board and subject to the approval, ratification and
confirmation by the Board at its next ensuing meeting.

      |X|   Securities Valuation.  The Fund's Board of Trustees has
established procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities. In general
those procedures are as follows:
o     Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on Nasdaq(R)
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(R), 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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     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(R), 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(R)on
the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the
principal exchange or on Nasdaq(R)on the valuation date. If the put, call or
future is not traded on an exchange or on Nasdaq(R), it shall be valued by the
mean between "bid" and "asked" prices obtained by the Manager from two active
market makers. In certain cases that may be at the "bid" price if no "asked"
price is available.


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


How to Sell Shares

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

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire.  The Federal Funds wire of
redemption proceeds may be delayed if the Fund's custodian bank is not open
for business on a day when the Fund would normally authorize the wire to be
made, which is usually the Fund's next regular business day following the
redemption.  In those circumstances, the wire will not be transmitted until
the next bank business day on which the Fund is open for business.  No
dividends will be paid on the proceeds of redeemed shares awaiting transfer
by Federal Funds wire.

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may
reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of:
o     Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class A
         shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or
o     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 and Class N contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in
determining the order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial
plans, 401(k) plans or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to
"Trustee, OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its
address listed in "How To Sell 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 plan sponsors) in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of the
Fund held in the name of the plan or its fiduciary may not directly request
redemption of their accounts. The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign
the request.

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

Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers. The
Distributor is the Fund's agent to repurchase its shares from authorized
dealers or brokers on behalf of their customers. Shareholders should contact
their broker or dealer to arrange this type of redemption. The repurchase
price per share will be the net asset value next computed after the
Distributor receives an order placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the
Distributor receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the
close of the 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 C 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 $50. Instructions
should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds Application or
signature-guaranteed instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are
subject to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in "How to
Exchange Shares" in the Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional
Information.

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.

      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 of shares by calling the Distributor.

o     All of the Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class A, B, C, N and Y
      shares with the following exceptions:

   The following funds only offer Class A shares:
   Centennial America Fund, L.P.             Centennial New York Tax Exempt

      shares.

o     Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for
      shares of any other fund.
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     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 may 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 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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (8/5/2010).
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund II may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund II until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (2/4/2011).

o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund III may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund III until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (12/6/2011).


      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, with the
following exceptions:

o     When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund (other than Rochester
National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) acquired by exchange of
Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A
contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 18 months measured from
the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged
Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on
the redeemed shares.

o     When Class A shares of Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund
Municipals acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund
purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed
within 24 months of the beginning of the calendar month of the initial
purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred
sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares.

         o  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     When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves and Oppenheimer Money
Market Fund, Inc. acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer
fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are
redeemed within the Class A holding period of the fund from which the shares
were exchanged, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the fund from
which the shares were exchanged is imposed on the redeemed shares.


o     With respect to Class B shares (other than Limited-Term Government
Fund, Limited Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund,
Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate
Fund), the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B
shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within six years of the
initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

o     With respect to Class B shares of Limited-Term Government Fund, Limited
Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund, Oppenheimer
Capital Preservation Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, the
Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B shares
acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 5 years of the initial
purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.


o     With respect to Class C shares, the Class C contingent deferred sales
charge is imposed on Class C shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed
within 12 months of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class C shares.

o     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.

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

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

       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.

|X|   Telephone Exchange Requests. When exchanging shares by telephone, a
shareholder must have an existing account in the fund to which the exchange
is to be made. Otherwise, the investors must obtain a prospectus of that fund
before the exchange request may be submitted. If all telephone lines are busy
(which might occur, for example, during periods of substantial market
fluctuations), shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by
telephone and would have to submit written exchange requests.

Processing  Exchange  Requests.  Shares to be  exchanged  are  redeemed on the
regular  business  day the  Transfer  Agent  receives an  exchange  request in
proper  form  (the  "Redemption  Date").  Normally,  shares  of the fund to be
acquired are  purchased on the  Redemption  Date,  but such  purchases  may be
delayed  by either  fund up to five  business  days if 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.

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 12 months after the close of the
taxable year, will be considered distributions of income and gains for the
taxable year and will therefore count toward satisfaction of the
above-mentioned requirement.

      To qualify as a regulated investment company, 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 (including receivables), 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.

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.

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.

      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 a long-term capital gain and will be properly identified in reports sent
to shareholders in January of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter
how long the shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was
recognized by the 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, the Fund will provide to shareholders of record
on the last day of its taxable year information regarding their pro rata
share of the gain and tax paid. As a result, each shareholder will be
required to report his or her pro rata share of such gain on 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 28% of ordinary
income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the
redemption of shares, paid to any shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a
correct taxpayer identification number or to properly certify that number
-------
when required, (2) who is subject to backup withholding for failure to report
the receipt of interest or dividend income properly, or (3) who has failed to
certify to the Fund that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding
or is an "exempt recipient" (such as a corporation). Any tax withheld by the
Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax
withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of each
year.


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.

Foreign Shareholders. Under U.S. tax law, taxation of a shareholder who is a
foreign person (to include, but not limited to, a nonresident alien
individual, a foreign trust, a foreign estate, a foreign corporation, or a
foreign partnership) primarily depends on whether the foreign person's income
from the Fund is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or
business. Typically, ordinary income dividends paid from a mutual fund are
not considered "effectively connected" income.


      Ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund (and are deemed not
"effectively connected income") to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S.
tax withheld by the Fund at a rate of 30%, provided the Fund obtains a
properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. The tax rate may
be reduced if the foreign person's country of residence has a tax treaty with
the U.S. allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends paid by
the Fund. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S.
Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed
to shareholders in March of each year.


      If the ordinary income dividends from the Fund are effectively
                                                     ---
connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, then the foreign
person may claim an exemption from the U.S. tax described above provided the
Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status.
If the foreign person fails to provide a certification of his/her foreign
status, the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of 28% on
ordinary income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of
the redemption of shares, paid to any foreign person. All income and any tax
withheld (in this situation) by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S.
Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of
each year.

      The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits
of an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein.
Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors or the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service with respect to the particular tax consequences to
them of an investment in the Fund, including the applicability of the U.S.
withholding taxes described above.

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund. Shareholders of 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

                             RATINGS DEFINITIONS
                             -------------------

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the
nationally-recognized rating agencies listed below. Those ratings represent
the opinion of the agency as to the credit quality of issues that they rate.
The summaries below are based upon publicly available information provided by
the rating organizations.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")

LONG-TERM RATINGS: BONDS AND PREFERRED STOCK ISSUER RATINGS

Aaa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Aaa" are judged to be the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk.  Interest payments are
protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is
secure.  While the various protective elements are likely to change, the
changes that can be expected are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of such issues.

Aa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by
all standards. Together with the "Aaa" group, they comprise what are
generally known as high-grade bonds.  They are rated lower than the best
bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as with "Aaa"
securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude
or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risk appear
somewhat larger than that of "Aaa" securities.

A: Bonds and preferred stock rated "A" possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium grade obligations.
Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but
elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some
time in the future.

Baa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Baa" are considered medium-grade
obligations; that is, they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.
Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but
certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically
unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding
investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative
elements. Their future cannot be considered well-assured.  Often the
protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future.
Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B: Bonds and preferred stock rated "B" generally lack characteristics of the
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of
maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may
be small.

Caa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Caa" are of poor standing. Such issues
may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to
principal or interest.
Ca: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Ca" represent obligations which are
speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other
marked shortcomings.

C:  Bonds and preferred stock rated "C" are the lowest class of rated bonds
and can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.

Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating
classification from "Aa" through "Caa." The modifier "1" indicates that the
obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the
modifier "2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates a
ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Advanced refunded
issues that are secured by certain assets are identified with a # symbol.

PRIME RATING SYSTEM (SHORT-TERM RATINGS - TAXABLE DEBT)
These ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to honor senior
financial obligations and contracts. Such obligations generally have an
original maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

Prime-1: Issuer has a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term
debt obligations.

Prime-2: Issuer has a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt
obligations. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more
subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while appropriate, may
be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is
maintained.

Prime-3: Issuer has an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term
obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions
may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result
in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require
relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is
maintained.

Not Prime: Issuer does not fall within any Prime rating category.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's"), a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

LONG-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following
considerations:
o     Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet
      its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms
      of the obligation;
o     Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and
o     Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the
      event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the
      laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.
   The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As
such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are
typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority
in bankruptcy, as noted above.

AAA: An obligation  rated "AAA" have the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's.  The  obligor's  capacity  to meet  its  financial  commitment  on the
obligation is extremely strong.

AA: An obligation  rated "AA" differ from the highest rated  obligations  only
in small degree.  The obligor's  capacity to meet its financial  commitment on
the obligation is very strong.

A: An  obligation  rated "A" are  somewhat  more  susceptible  to the  adverse
effects of changes in circumstances  and economic  conditions than obligations
in  higher-rated  categories.  However,  the  obligor's  capacity  to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB:  An  obligation  rated  "BBB"  exhibit  adequate  protection  parameters.
However,  adverse  economic  conditions  or  changing  circumstances  are more
likely to lead to a weakened  capacity  of the  obligor to meet its  financial
commitment on the obligation.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C
An obligation rated `BB', `B', `CCC', `CC', and `C' are regarded as having
significant speculative characteristics. `BB' indicates the least degree of
speculation and `C' the highest. While such obligations will likely have some
quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large
uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

BB: An obligation  rated "BB" are less  vulnerable  to  nonpayment  than other
speculative  issues.   However,  they  face  major  ongoing  uncertainties  or
exposure to adverse business,  financial,  or economic  conditions which could
lead to the obligor's  inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation.

B: An obligation  rated "B" are more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations
rated "BB",  but the obligor  currently has the capacity to meet its financial
commitment  on  the  obligation.  Adverse  business,  financial,  or  economic
conditions  will likely impair the obligor's  capacity or  willingness to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC: An obligation  rated "CCC" are currently  vulnerable to  nonpayment,  and
are dependent upon favorable business,  financial, and economic conditions for
the obligor to meet its financial  commitment on the obligation.  In the event
of adverse business,  financial,  or economic  conditions,  the obligor is not
likely  to  have  the  capacity  to  meet  its  financial  commitment  on  the
obligation.

CC: An obligation rated "CC" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C:  Subordinated  debt or preferred stock  obligations rated "C" are currently
highly  vulnerable  to  nonpayment.  The "C"  rating  may be  used to  cover a
situation where a bankruptcy  petition has been filed or similar action taken,
but  payments  on this  obligation  are  being  continued.  A "C" also will be
assigned to a preferred  stock issue in arrears on  dividends  or sinking fund
payments, but that is currently paying.

D: An obligation rated "D" are in payment default.  The "D" rating category is
used when payments on an  obligation  are not made on the date due even if the
applicable  grace period has not expired,  unless  Standard & Poor's  believes
that such payments will be made during such grace period.  The "D" rating also
will be used  upon the  filing of a  bankruptcy  petition  or the  taking of a
similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the addition of a plus (+)
or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating
categories.

c: The `c' subscript is used to provide additional information to investors
that the bank may terminate its obligation to purchase tendered bonds if the
long-term credit rating of the issuer is below an investment-grade level
and/or the issuer's bonds are deemed taxable.

p: The letter `p' indicates that the rating is provisional. A provisional
rating assumes the successful completion of the project financed by the debt
being rated and indicates that payment of debt service requirements is
largely or entirely dependent upon the successful, timely completion of the
project. This rating, however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to
completion of the project, makes no comment on the likelihood of or the risk
of default upon failure of such completion. The investor should exercise his
own judgment with respect to such likelihood and risk.

Continuance of the ratings is contingent upon Standard & Poor's receipt of an
executed copy of the escrow agreement or closing documentation confirming
investments and cash flows.

r: The `r' highlights derivative, hybrid, and certain other obligations that
Standard & Poor's believes may experience high volatility or high variability
in expected returns as a result of noncredit risks. Examples of such
obligations are securities with principal or interest return indexed to
equities, commodities, or currencies; certain swaps and options; and
interest-only and principal-only mortgage securities. The absence of an `r'
symbol should not be taken as an indication that an obligation will exhibit
no volatility or variability in total return.

N.R. Not rated.

Debt obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories are
rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues. The
ratings measure the creditworthiness of the obligor but do not take into
account currency exchange and related uncertainties.

Bond Investment Quality Standards

Under present commercial bank regulations issued by the Comptroller of the
Currency, bonds rated in the top four categories (`AAA', `AA', `A', `BBB',
commonly known as investment-grade ratings) generally are regarded as
eligible for bank investment. Also, the laws of various states governing
legal investments impose certain rating or other standards for obligations
eligible for investment by savings banks, trust companies, insurance
companies, and fiduciaries in general

SHORT-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered
short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means
obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 days-including
commercial paper.

A-1: A short-term obligation rated "A-1" is rated in the highest category by
Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are
designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity
to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

A-2: A short-term obligation rated "A-2" is somewhat more susceptible to the
adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.
A-3: A short-term obligation rated "A-3" exhibits adequate protection
parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances
are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation.

B: A short-term obligation rated "B" is regarded as having significant
speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation; however, it faces major ongoing
uncertainties which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation.

C: A short-term obligation rated "C" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment
and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions
for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

D: A short-term obligation rated "D" is in payment default. The "D" rating
category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due
even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D"
rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the
taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

NOTES:
A Standard & Poor's note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market
access risks unique to notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely
receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely
receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in
making that assessment:
o     Amortization schedule-the larger the final maturity relative to other
      maturities, the more likely it will
      be treated as a note; and
o     Source of payment-the more dependent the issue is on the market for its
      refinancing, the more likely
      it will be treated as a note.

SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue with a very
strong capacity to pay debt service is given a (+) designation.

SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some
vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the
notes.

SP-3: Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Fitch, Inc.
International credit ratings assess the capacity to meet foreign currency or
local currency commitments. Both "foreign currency" and "local currency"
ratings are internationally comparable assessments. The local currency rating
measures the probability of payment within the relevant sovereign state's
currency and jurisdiction and therefore, unlike the foreign currency rating,
does not take account of the possibility of foreign exchange controls
limiting transfer into foreign currency.

INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings.

Investment Grade:

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of
credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly
unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
AA: Very High Credit Quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of
credit risk. They indicate a very strong capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to
foreseeable events.

A: High Credit Quality. "A" ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk.
The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered
strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in
circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

BBB: Good Credit Quality. "BBB" ratings indicate that there is currently a
low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and
in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the
lowest investment-grade category.

Speculative Grade:

BB: Speculative. "BB" ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit
risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over
time. However, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow
financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not
investment grade.


B: Highly Speculative. "B" ratings indicate that significant credit risk is
present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are
currently being met. However, capacity for continued payment is contingent
upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

CCC, CC C: High Default Risk.  Default is a real possibility. Capacity for
meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable
business or economic developments. A "CC" rating indicates that default of
some kind appears probable. "C" ratings signal imminent default.

DDD, DD, and D: Default. The ratings of obligations in this category are
based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a
reorganization or liquidation of the obligor. While expected recovery values
are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the
following serve as general guidelines. "DDD" obligations have the highest
potential for recovery, around 90%-100% of outstanding amounts and accrued
interest. "DD" indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and
"D" the lowest recovery potential, i.e., below 50%.

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their
obligations. Entities rated "DDD" have the highest prospect for resumption of
performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization
process. Entities rated "DD" and "D" are generally undergoing a formal
reorganization or liquidation process; those rated "DD" are likely to satisfy
a higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated "D"
have a poor prospect for repaying all obligations.

Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote
relative status within the major rating categories.  Plus and minus signs are
not added to the "AAA" category or to categories below "CCC," nor to
short-term ratings other than "F1" (see below).

INTERNATIONAL SHORT-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings. A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for
most obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities,
and thus places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial
commitments in a timely manner.

F1: Highest credit quality. Strongest capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. May have an added "+" to denote any exceptionally
strong credit feature.

F2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the
case of higher ratings.

F3: Fair credit quality. Capacity for timely payment of financial commitments
is adequate. However, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction
to non-investment grade.

B: Speculative. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments,
plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic
conditions.

C: High default risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting
financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business
and economic environment.

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers
--------------------------------------------------------------

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class
A shares2 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.3  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 plans4
         4) Group Retirement Plans5
         5) 403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
         6) Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional
            IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

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

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






 Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

      There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases
may be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed
within 18 months (24 months in the case of Oppenheimer Rochester National
Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) of the beginning of the calendar
month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver
described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption).
Additionally, on shares purchased under these waivers that are subject to the
Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor will pay the
applicable concession described in the Prospectus under "Class A Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge."6 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. That included plans
         (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares
         costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more
         eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3)
         certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan
         purchases of $200,000 or more.
|_|   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
            manager).

|_|   The Manager or its affiliates.

|_|   Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and
         their "immediate families") of the Fund, the Manager and its

         brothers and sisters, sons- and daughters-in-law, a sibling's
         spouse, a spouse's siblings, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews;

         into an agreement for this purpose with the Distributor) who buy
         shares for their own accounts may also purchase shares without sales
         charge but only if their accounts are linked to a master account of
         their investment advisor or financial planner on the books and
         records of the broker, agent or financial intermediary with which

         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 example, plans qualified or created
         under sections 401(a), 401(k), 403(b) or 457 of the Internal Revenue
         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.

B. Waivers of Initial and Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain
Transactions.

Class A shares issued or purchased in the following transactions are not
subject to sales charges (and no concessions are paid by the Distributor on
such purchases):

         acquisitions and exchange offers, to which the Fund is a party.
|_|   Shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or other
         distributions reinvested from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds
         (other than Oppenheimer Cash Reserves) or unit investment trusts for
         which reinvestment arrangements have been made with the Distributor.
      |_|   Shares purchased by the reinvestment of loan repayments by a
         participant in a Retirement Plan for which the Manager or an
         affiliate acts as sponsor.

C. Waivers of the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge for Certain
Redemptions.

The Class A contingent deferred sales charge is also waived if shares that
would otherwise be subject to the contingent deferred sales charge are
redeemed in the following cases:
|_|   To make Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments that are limited annually to
         no more than 12% of the account value adjusted annually.
|_|   Involuntary redemptions of shares by operation of law or involuntary
         redemptions of small accounts (please refer to "Shareholder Account

         other employee benefit plans for any of the following purposes:
         1) Following the death or disability (as defined in the Internal

            subsidiary of the Manager) if the plan has made special
            arrangements with the Distributor.
         11)      Plan termination or "in-service distributions," if the
            redemption proceeds are rolled over directly to an
            OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRA.
|_|   For distributions from 401(k) plans sponsored by broker-dealers that
         have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor allowing
         this waiver.

III.    Waivers of Class B, Class C and Class N Sales Charges of Oppenheimer
                                         Funds
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Class B, Class C and Class N contingent deferred sales charges will not
be applied to shares purchased in certain types of transactions or redeemed
in certain circumstances described below.

A. Waivers for Redemptions in Certain Cases.

The Class B, Class C and Class N contingent deferred sales charges will be
waived for redemptions of shares in the following cases:
|_|   Shares redeemed involuntarily, as described in "Shareholder Account
         Rules and Policies," in the applicable Prospectus.
|_|   Redemptions from accounts other than Retirement Plans following the
         death or disability of the last surviving shareholder. The death or
         disability must have occurred after the account was established, and
         for disability you must provide evidence of a determination of
         disability by the Social Security Administration.
|_|   The contingent deferred sales charges are generally not waived
         following the death or disability of a grantor or trustee for a
         trust account. The contingent deferred sales charges will only be
         waived in the limited case of the death of the trustee of a grantor
         trust or revocable living trust for which the trustee is also the
         sole beneficiary. The death or disability must have occurred after
         the account was established, and for disability you must provide
         evidence of a determination of disability by the Social Security
         Administration.

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


The initial and contingent deferred sales charge rates and waivers for Class

Additional Information of the Oppenheimer funds are modified as described
below for certain persons who were shareholders of the former Quest for Value
Funds.  To be eligible, those persons must have been shareholders on November
24, 1995, when OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the investment advisor to those
former Quest for Value Funds.  Those funds include:

   Oppenheimer Quest Value Fund, Inc.           Oppenheimer Small Cap Value
   Fund
   Oppenheimer Quest Balanced Fund              Oppenheimer Quest
   International Value Fund, Inc.

      All of the funds listed above are referred to in this Appendix as the

deferred sales charges described in this Appendix apply to shares of an
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
         November 24, 1995.

"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

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 Distributor.

shares purchased by the following investors are not subject to any Class A

            of Funds.
o     Shareholders who acquired shares of any Former Quest for Value Fund by
            merger of any of the portfolios of the Unified Funds.

|X|   Waivers for Redemptions of Shares Purchased Prior to March 6, 1995.  In

purchased prior to March 6, 1995 in connection with:

o     withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan holding only either
            Class B or Class C shares if the annual withdrawal does not
            exceed 10% of the initial value of the account value, adjusted
            annually, and
o     liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value

            value of such accounts.

Former Quest for Value Fund merged. Those shares must have been purchased on
or after March 6, 1995, but prior to November 24, 1995:
o     redemptions following the death or disability of the shareholder(s) (as
            evidenced by a determination of total disability by the U.S.
            Social Security Administration);
o     withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan (but only for Class B or
            Class C shares) where the annual withdrawals do not exceed 10% of
            the initial value of the account value; adjusted annually, and

o     liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value

proceeds are invested in the same Class of shares in that fund or another
Oppenheimer fund within 90 days after redemption.

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).

            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.

            more;

            Connecticut Mutual Funds and members of their immediate families;
         4) employee benefit plans sponsored by Connecticut Mutual Financial

1 In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term
"Independent Trustees" in this Statement of Additional Information refers to
those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who do not
have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the
distribution plan or any agreement under the plan.

2 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible
Securities Fund.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts
of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a Retirement
Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C
shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one
year.
7 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

8 This provision only applies to qualified retirement plans and 403(b)(7)

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. (the "Manager"), 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 may use in selecting portfolio
securities will vary over time. The Fund is not required to use all of the
investment techniques and strategies described below at all times in seeking
its objective. It may use some of the special investment techniques and
strategies at some times or not at all.

      In selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio, the Manager evaluates
the merits of particular securities primarily through the exercise of its own
investment analysis. In the case of corporate issuers, that process may
include, among other things, evaluation of the issuer's historical
operations, prospects for the industry of which the issuer is part, the
issuer's financial condition, its pending product developments and business
(and those of competitors), the effect of general market and economic
conditions on the issuer's business, and legislative proposals that might
affect the issuer. In the case of foreign securities, the Manager may also
consider the conditions of a particular country's economy in relation to the
U.S. economy or other foreign economies, general political conditions on a
country or region, the effect of taxes, the efficiencies and costs of
particular markets and other factors when evaluating the securities of
issuers in a particular country.


|X|   Investments in Equity Securities. The Fund emphasizes investments in
equity securities of small-cap companies. Equity securities include common
stocks, preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and securities convertible
into common stock. The Fund's investments primarily include stocks of
companies having a market capitalization under $3.0 billion, but the Fund can
purchase securities of issuers having a larger market capitalization.


      Current income is not a criterion used to select equity securities, as
the Fund does not seek income as part of its goal. However, certain debt
securities can be selected for the Fund's portfolio for liquidity needs or
for defensive purposes (including debt securities that the Manager believes
might offer some opportunities for capital appreciation when stocks are
disfavored).

      Securities of newer small-cap companies might offer greater
opportunities for capital appreciation than securities of large, more
established companies. However, these securities also involve greater risks
than securities of larger companies. Securities of small-capitalization
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 than that of funds
focusing on larger-capitalization issuers.

o     Value Investing. In using a value approach, the portfolio managers seek
stock and other equity securities that appear to be temporarily undervalued,
by various measures, such as price/earnings ratios. This approach is subject
to change and might not necessarily be used in all cases. Value investing
seeks stocks having prices that are low in relation to their real worth or
future prospects, in the hope that the Fund will realize appreciation in the
value of its holdings when other investors realize the intrinsic value of the
stock.

      Using value investing requires research as to the issuer's underlying
financial condition and prospects. Some of the measures that can be used to
identify these securities include, among others:
o     Price/Earnings ratio, which is the stock's price divided by its
         earnings per share. A stock having a price/earnings ratio lower than
         its historical range, or the market as a whole or that of similar
         companies may offer attractive investment opportunities.
o     Price/book value ratio, which is the stock price divided by the book
         value of the company per share, which measures the company's stock
         price in relation to its asset value.
o     Dividend Yield is measured by dividing the annual dividend by the stock
         price per share.
o     Valuation of Assets, which compares the stock price to the value of the
         company's underlying assets, including their projected value in the
         marketplace and liquidation value.

o     Preferred Stocks. Preferred stocks are equity securities but have
certain attributes of debt securities. Preferred stock, unlike common stock,
has a stated dividend rate payable from the corporation's earnings. Preferred
stock dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative, participating, or
auction rate. "Cumulative" dividend provisions require all or a portion of
prior unpaid dividends to be paid before the issuer can pay dividends on
common shares.

      If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be
less attractive, causing the price of preferred stocks to decline. Preferred
stock may have mandatory sinking fund provisions, as well as provisions for
their call or redemption prior to maturity which can have a negative effect
on their prices when interest prior to maturity rates decline. Preferred
stock may be "participating" stock, which means that it may be entitled to a
dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain cases.

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

o     Convertible Securities.  Convertible securities are debt securities
that are convertible into an issuer's common stock. Convertible securities
rank senior to common stock in a corporation's capital structure and
therefore are subject to less risk than common stock in case of the issuer's
bankruptcy or liquidation.
      The value of a convertible security is a function of its "investment
value" and its "conversion value." If the investment value exceeds the
conversion value, the security will behave more like a debt security, and the
security's price will likely increase when interest rates fall and decrease
when interest rates rise. If the conversion value exceeds the investment
value, the security will behave more like an equity security: it will likely
sell at a premium over its conversion value, and its price will tend to
fluctuate directly with the price of the underlying security. Convertible
securities are subject to credit risks and interest rate risk as discussed
below under "Investments in Debt 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 by the Manager more as "equity equivalents."  In
those cases, the credit rating assigned to the security has less impact on
the Manager's investment decision than in the case of non-convertible
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.

|X|   Investments in Debt Securities. While the Fund does not invest for the
purpose of seeking current income, at times the portfolio managers may select
certain debt securities (besides convertible debt securities described above)
for investment by the Fund for liquidity or defensive purposes. For example,
when the stock market is volatile, or when the portfolio managers believe
that growth opportunities in stocks are not attractive, debt securities might
offer defensive opportunities and also some opportunities for capital
appreciation. These investments could include corporate bonds and notes of
foreign or U.S. companies, as well as U.S. and foreign government securities.
It is not expected that this will be a significant portfolio strategy of the
Fund under normal market conditions.

o     Credit Risk.  Debt securities are subject to credit risk. Credit risk
 relates to the ability of the issuer of a debt security to make interest or
 principal payments on the security as they become due. If the issuer fails
 to pay interest, the Fund's income may be reduced and if the issuer fails to
 repay principal, the value of that bond and of the Fund's shares may be
 reduced. The Manager may rely to some extent on credit ratings by nationally
 recognized rating agencies in evaluating the credit risk of securities
 selected for the Fund's portfolio. It may also use its own research and
 analysis. Many factors affect an issuer's ability to make timely payments,
 and the credit risks of a particular security may change over time. The Fund
 can invest up to 5% of its total assets in higher-yielding lower-grade debt
 securities (that is, securities below investment grade).

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

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

o     Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. The Fund can invest up to 5%
of its total assets in lower-grade securities. Lower-grade securities
(commonly known as "junk bonds") are rated less than "BBB" by Standard &
Poor's Rating Services ("Standard & Poor's") or less than "Baa" by Moody's
Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's"), or have a comparable rating from another
rating organization. If unrated, a security is considered to be below
investment grade if the Manager deems it to be of comparable quality to
securities rated less than investment grade. The Fund does not intend to
invest in securities that are in default.

      High-yield, lower-grade securities, whether rated or unrated, often
have speculative characteristics and special risks that make them riskier
investments than investment grade securities. They may be subject to greater
market fluctuations and risk of loss of income and principal than lower
yielding, investment-grade securities. There may be less of a market for them
and therefore they may be harder to sell at an acceptable price. There is a
relatively greater possibility that the issuer's earnings may be insufficient
to make the payments of interest due on the bonds. The issuer's low
creditworthiness may increase the potential for its insolvency.

      These risks mean that the Fund may not achieve the expected income from
lower-grade securities, and that the Fund's net asset value per share may be
affected by declines in value of these securities. However, the Fund's
limitations on investments in these types of securities may reduce some of
the risk, as will the Fund's policy of diversifying its investments.

|X|   U.S. Government Securities.  These are securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. Treasury or other U.S. government agencies or federally-chartered
corporate entities referred to as "instrumentalities." The obligations of
U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities in which the Fund may invest
may or may not be guaranteed or supported by the "full faith and credit" of
the United States. "Full faith and credit" means generally that the taxing
power of the U.S. government is pledged to the payment of interest and
repayment of principal on a security. If a security is not backed by the full
faith and credit of the United States, the owner of the security must look
principally to the agency issuing the obligation for repayment. The owner
might not be able to assert a claim against the United States if the issuing
agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment. The Fund will invest
in securities of U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities only if the
Manager is satisfied that the credit risk with respect to such agency or
instrumentality is minimal. While U.S. government securities have little
credit risk, prior to their maturity they are subject to price fluctuations
from changes in interest rates.

|X|   Money Market Instruments. The following is a brief description of the
types of money market securities the Fund can invest in.  Those money market
securities are high-quality, short-term debt instruments that are issued by
the U.S. government, corporations, banks or other entities.  They may have
fixed, variable or floating interest rates.

o     U.S. Government Securities.  These include obligations issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities, as described above.

o     Bank Obligations.  The Fund can buy time deposits, certificates of
deposit and bankers' acceptances.  Time deposits, other than overnight
deposits, may be subject to withdrawal penalties, and if so, they are deemed
to be "illiquid" investments.

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

o     Commercial Paper.  The Fund can invest in commercial paper if it is
 rated within the top two rating categories of Standard & Poor's and Moody's.
 If the paper is not rated, it may be purchased if issued by a company having
 a credit rating of at least "AA" by Standard & Poor's or "Aa" by Moody's.

      The Fund can buy commercial paper, including U.S. dollar-denominated
securities of foreign branches of U.S. banks, issued by other entities if the
commercial paper is guaranteed as to principal and interest by a bank,
government or corporation whose certificates of deposit or commercial paper
may otherwise be purchased by the Fund.

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

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

      The Fund has no limitations on the type of issuer from whom these notes
will be purchased. However, in connection with such purchases and on an
ongoing basis, the Manager will consider the earning power, cash flow and
other liquidity ratios of the issuer, and its ability to pay principal and
interest on demand, including a situation in which all holders of such notes
made demand simultaneously.  Investments in master demand notes are subject
to the limitation on investments by the Fund in illiquid securities,
described in the Prospectus. The Fund does not intend that its investments in
variable amount master demand notes will exceed 5% of its total assets.

|X|   Foreign Securities. The Fund can purchase equity and debt securities
issued by foreign companies or foreign governments or their agencies.
"Foreign securities" include equity and debt securities of companies
organized under the laws of countries other than the United States and debt
securities of foreign governments and their agencies and instrumentalities.
Those securities 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 considered "foreign
securities" for the purpose of the Fund's investment allocations. That is
because they are subject to many of the special considerations and risks,
discussed below, that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

      Because the Fund can purchase securities denominated in foreign
currencies, a change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S.
dollar could result in a change in the amount of income the Fund has
available for distribution.  Because a portion of the Fund's investment
income may be received in foreign currencies, the Fund will be required to
compute its income in U.S. dollars for distribution to shareholders, and
therefore the Fund will absorb the cost of currency fluctuations.  After the
Fund has distributed income, subsequent foreign currency losses may result in
the Fund's having distributed more income in a particular fiscal period than
was available from investment income, which could result in a return of
capital to shareholders.

      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.

o     Foreign Debt Obligations. The debt obligations of foreign governments
 and their agencies and instrumentalities may or may not be supported by the
 full faith and credit of the foreign government. The Fund can buy securities
 issued by certain "supra-national" entities, which include entities
 designated or supported by governments to promote economic reconstruction or
 development, international banking organizations and related government
 agencies. Examples are the International Bank for Reconstruction and
 Development (commonly called the "World Bank"), the Asian Development Bank
 and the Inter-American Development Bank.

      The governmental members of these supra-national entities are
"stockholders" that typically make capital contributions and may be committed
to make additional capital contributions if the entity is unable to repay its
borrowings. A supra-national entity's lending activities may be limited to a
percentage of its total capital, reserves and net income. There can be no
assurance that the constituent foreign governments will continue to be able
or willing to honor their capitalization commitments for those entities.



o     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.

o     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. The Manager will consider these factors when evaluating
 securities in these markets. The Fund currently limits these investments to
 not more than 5% of its total assets.

o     Passive Foreign Investment Companies.  Some securities of corporations
domiciled outside the U.S. which the Fund may purchase, may be considered
passive foreign investment companies ("PFICs") under U.S. tax laws. PFICs are
those foreign corporations which generate primarily passive income. They tend
to be growth companies or "start-up" companies. For federal tax purposes, a
corporation is deemed a PFIC if 75% or more of the foreign corporation's
gross income for the income year is passive income or if 50% or more of its
assets are assets that produce or are held to produce passive income. Passive
income is further defined as any income to be considered foreign personal
holding company income within the subpart F provisions defined by IRCss.954.

      Investing in PFICs involves the risks associated with investing in
foreign securities, as described above. There are also the risks that the
Fund may not realize that a foreign corporation it invests in is a PFIC for
federal tax purposes. Federal tax laws impose severe tax penalties for
failure to properly report investment income from PFICs. Following industry
standards, the Fund makes every effort to ensure compliance with federal tax
reporting of these investments. PFICs are considered foreign securities for
the purposes of the Fund's minimum percentage requirements or limitations of
investing in foreign securities.

      Subject to the limits under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the
"Investment Company Act") and under its own non-fundamental policies, the
Fund may also invest in foreign mutual funds which are also deemed PFICs
(since nearly all of the income of a mutual fund is generally passive
income). Investing in these types of PFICs may allow exposure to varying
countries because some foreign countries limit, or prohibit, all direct
foreign investment in the securities of companies domiciled therein.

      In addition to bearing their proportionate share of a fund's expenses
(management fees and operating expenses), shareholders will also indirectly
bear similar expenses of such entities. Additional risks of investing in
other investment companies are described below under "Investment in Other
Investment Companies.

|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% annually. The Fund's portfolio turnover
rate will fluctuate from year to year, and may be in excess of 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 may from time to time 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.

|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 may be subject to 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.

|X|   Investing in Special Situations. Periodically, the Fund might use
aggressive investment techniques. These might include seeking to benefit from
what the portfolio manager perceives to be "special situations," such as
mergers, reorganizations, restructurings or other unusual events expected to
affect a particular issuer. However, there is a risk in investing in special
situations that the change or event might not occur, which could have a
negative impact on the price of the issuer's securities. The Fund's
investment might not produce the expected gains or could incur a loss for the
portfolio.

|X|   "When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions.  The Fund can invest
in securities on a "when-issued" basis and can purchase or sell securities on
a "delayed-delivery" or "forward commitment" basis.  When-issued and
delayed-delivery are terms that refer to securities whose terms and indenture
are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for
immediate delivery.

      When such transactions are negotiated, the price (which is generally
expressed in yield terms) is fixed at the time the commitment is made.
Delivery and payment for the securities take place at a later date.  The
securities are subject to change in value from market fluctuations during the
period until settlement. The value at delivery may be less than the purchase
price. For example, changes in interest rates in a direction other than that
expected by the Manager before settlement will affect the value of such
securities and may cause a loss to the Fund. During the period between
purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the Fund to the issuer and no
interest accrues to the Fund from the investment.  No income begins to accrue
to the Fund on a when-issued security until the Fund receives the security at
settlement of the trade.

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

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

      At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase or sell a
security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it records the
transaction on its books and reflects the value of the security purchased in
determining the Fund's net asset value.  In a sale transaction, it records
the proceeds to be received. The Fund will identify on its books liquid
assets at least equal in value to the value of the Fund's purchase
commitments until the Fund pays for the investment. The Fund will not enter
into when-issued commitments if more than 15% of the Fund's net assets would
be committed under these transactions.

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

|X|   Rights and Warrants. The Fund can invest up to 5% of its total assets
in warrants and rights. 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|   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.

      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 Manager from time to time.

      The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery
pursuant to the resale typically occurs within one to five days of the
purchase. Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are
subject to 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 monitor the vendor's
creditworthiness to confirm that the vendor is financially sound and will
continuously monitor the collateral's value.

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

o     Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund can use reverse repurchase
agreements on debt obligations it owns. Under a reverse repurchase agreement,
the Fund sells an underlying debt obligation and simultaneously agrees to
repurchase the same security at an agreed-upon price at an agreed-upon date.
The Fund will identify on its books liquid assets in an amount sufficient to
cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements, including
interest, until payment is made to the seller.

      These transactions involve the risk that the market value of the
securities sold by the Fund under a reverse repurchase agreement could
decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase them.
These agreements are considered borrowings by the Fund and will be subject to
the asset coverage requirement under the Fund's policy on borrowing discussed
below.

|X|   Illiquid and Restricted Securities.  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 may 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 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.

|X|   Participation Interests. The Fund can invest in participation
interests, subject to the Fund's limitation on investments in illiquid
investments. A participation interest is an undivided interest in a loan
made by the issuing financial institution in the proportion that the
buyer's participation interest bears to the total principal amount of the
loan. No more than 5% of the Fund's net assets can be invested in
participation interests of the same borrower. The issuing financial
institution may have no obligation to the Fund other than to pay the Fund
the proportionate amount of the principal and interest payments it
receives.

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

|X|   Loans of Portfolio Securities.  The Fund can lend its portfolio
securities to certain types of eligible borrowers approved by the Board of
Trustees. It might do so to try to provide income or to raise cash or
income for liquidity purposes. These loans are limited to not more than
10% of the value 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. The Fund presently does not intend to engage in
loans of securities.

      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 must both 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 finders, 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. As a fundamental policy, the Fund cannot borrow money except
as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes. Loans may
not exceed 33 1/3% of the value of the Fund's total assets. Additionally,
as part of that fundamental policy, the Fund will not purchase securities
at times when loans exceed 5% of its total assets.

      The Fund may borrow only from banks. Under current regulatory
requirements, borrowings can be made only to the extent that the value of the
Fund's 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 bank debt within three days to meet the requirement. To
do so, the Fund might have to sell a portion of its investments at a
disadvantageous time.

      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. Additionally, the Fund's net asset value per share might fluctuate
more than that of funds that do not borrow.

|X|   Hedging. Although the Fund can use hedging instruments, it is not
obligated to use them in seeking its objective. It does not currently
contemplate using them to any significant degree.  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
that have appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment
reasons, the Fund could:
o     sell futures contracts,
o     buy puts on such futures or on securities, or
o     write covered calls on securities or futures.

      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:
o     buy futures, or
o     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 is permissible under applicable
regulations governing the Fund.

o     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) foreign currencies (these are referred to as "forward
contracts"), an (3) individual stock ("single stock futures") and (4)
commodities (these are referred to as "commodity futures").

      A broadly-based stock index is used as the basis for trading stock
index futures. These indices 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. 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.

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

      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 money 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.

o     Put and Call Options. The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of put
options ("puts") and call options ("calls"). The Fund can buy and sell
exchange-traded and over-the-counter put and call options, including options
on broadly-based indices, securities, foreign currencies and stock index
futures. The Trustees have adopted a non-fundamental policy that the Fund may
write covered call options or write covered put options with respect to not
more than 25% of the value of its net assets. Similarly, the Fund may
purchase call or put options only if, after the purchase, the value of all
call and put options held by the Fund will not exceed 50% of the Fund's total
assets.

o     Writing Covered Call Options. The Fund can write (that is, sell)
covered calls. If the Fund sells a call option, it must be covered. For
options on securities, that means the Fund must own the security subject to
the call while the call is outstanding. For stock index options, that means
the call must be covered by segregating liquid assets to enable the Fund to
satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised.

      When the Fund writes a call on a security, it receives cash (a
premium). For calls on securities, 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 a call on a stock index 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.

      Settlement of puts and calls on broadly-based stock indices is in cash.
Gain or loss on options on stock indices depends on changes in the index in
question (and thus on price movements in the stock market generally).

      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.

      If the Fund writes an over-the-counter ("OTC") option, it will enter
into an arrangement with a primary U.S. Government securities dealer which
will establish a formula price at which the Fund will have the absolute right
to repurchase that OTC option.  The formula price will generally be based on
a multiple of the premium received for the option, plus the amount by which
the option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying security
(that is, the option is "in the money").  If the Fund writes an OTC option,
it will treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding
illiquid securities) the mark-to-market value of any OTC option it holds,
unless the option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.

      To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, the 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 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 escrowed assets in escrow 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.

o     Writing Put Options. The Fund can sell put options on stock indices,
foreign currencies or stock index futures. A put option on securities gives
the purchaser the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the
underlying investment of the exercise price during the option period. If the
Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by liquid assets identified on the
Fund's books in an amount at least equal to the exercise price of the
underlying securities.  The Fund therefore forgoes the opportunity of
investing the segregated assets or writing calls against those assets.


      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 settle the transaction in cash with the buyer of
the put at the exercise price, even if the value of the underlying 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 settle in cash at the exercise price. That price will
usually exceed the market value of the investment at that time.  In that
case, the fund might 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.

      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 settle the transaction in cash at
the exercise price.  The Fund has no control over when it may be required to
settle the transaction, 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. 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.

o     Purchasing Calls and Puts. The Fund can buy 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. Buying a call on
a security or future gives the Fund 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.

      In the case of a purchase of a call on a stock index, if the Fund
exercises the call during the call period, a seller of a corresponding call
on the same index will pay the Fund an amount of cash to settle the call if
the closing level of the stock index upon which the call is based is greater
than the exercise price of the call.  That cash payment is equal to the
difference between the closing price of the call and the exercise price of
the call times a specified multiple (the "multiplier") which determines the
total dollar value for each point of difference.


      When the Fund buys a put, it pays a premium. It has the right during
the put period to require a seller of a corresponding put, upon the Fund's
exercise of its put, to buy the underlying security (in the case of puts on
securities or futures) or in the case of puts on stock indices, to deliver
cash to the Fund to settle the put if the closing level of the stock index
upon which the put is based is less than the exercise price of the put.  That
cash payment is determined by the multiplier, in the same manner as described
above as to calls.

      Buying a put on a security or future enables the Fund to sell the
underlying investment to a seller of a corresponding put on the same
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.

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

      When the Fund purchases a put on a stock index, the put protects the
Fund to the extent that the index moves in a similar pattern to the
securities the Fund holds.  The Fund can resell the put. The resale price of
the put will vary inversely with the price of the underlying investment.  If
the market price of the underlying investment is above the exercise price,
and as a result the put is not exercised, the put will become worthless on
the expiration date.  In the event of a decline in price of the underlying
investment, the Fund could exercise or sell the put at a profit to attempt to
offset some or all of its loss on its portfolio securities. The Fund may buy
a call or put 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.

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

      If the Manager anticipates a rise in the dollar value of a foreign
currency in which securities to be acquired are denominated, the increased
cost of those securities may be partially offset by purchasing calls or
writing puts on that foreign currency.  If the Manager anticipates a decline
in the dollar value of a foreign currency, the decline in the dollar value of
portfolio securities denominated in that currency might be partially offset
by writing calls or purchasing puts on that foreign currency. However, the
currency rates could fluctuate in a direction adverse to the Fund's position.
The Fund will then have incurred option premium payments and transaction
costs without a corresponding benefit.

      A call the Fund writes on a foreign currency is "covered" if the Fund
owns the underlying foreign currency covered by the call or has an absolute
and immediate right to acquire that foreign currency without additional cash
consideration (or it can do so for additional cash consideration identified
on its books) upon conversion or exchange of other foreign currency held in
its portfolio.

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

o     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 may affect its costs.

      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 put, or buys or sells an underlying investment in
connection with the exercise of a call or put.  Those commissions could be
higher on a relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales
of the underlying investments.  Premiums paid for options are small in
relation to the market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, put
and call options offer large amounts of leverage. The leverage offered by
trading in options could result in 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.

o     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
on its books liquid 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 transaction 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.

o     Regulatory Aspects of Hedging Instruments.  The Commodities Futures
Trading Commission (the "CFTC") recently eliminated limitations on futures
trading by certain regulated entities including registered investment
companies and consequently registered investment companies may engage in
unlimited futures transactions and options thereon provided that the Fund
claims an exclusion from regulation as a commodity pool operator. The Fund
has claimed such an exclusion from registration as a commodity pool operator
under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA"). The Fund may use futures and
options for hedging and non-hedging purposes to the extent consistent with
its investment objective, internal risk management guidelines adopted by the
Fund's investment advisor (as they may be amended from time to time), and as
otherwise set forth in the Fund's prospectus or this statement of additional
information.

      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.

o     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 income available for distribution to its
shareholders.

Investment in Other Investment Companies. The Fund can invest up to 10% of
its total assets in shares of other investment companies. It can invest up to
5% of its total assets in any one investment company (but cannot own more
than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of that company). These limits do not
apply to shares acquired in a merger, consolidation, reorganization or
acquisition of another investment company.

      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
Fund's 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|   Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments.  When market, economic or
political 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 and the types of money market
instruments described above. 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 to reinvest cash received from the sale of other
portfolio securities. The Fund can buy:
o     obligations issued or guaranteed by the U. S. government or its
         instrumentalities or agencies,
o     commercial paper (short-term, unsecured, promissory notes of domestic
         or foreign companies) rated in the top two rating categories of a
         nationally-recognized rating organization,
o     short-term debt obligations of corporate issuers, rated investment
         grade (rated at least Baa by Moody's or at least BBB by Standard &
         Poor's, 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     certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances of domestic and
         foreign banks  having total assets in excess of $1 billion, 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.

Other 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 principal investment policies are
described in the Prospectus.

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

o     The Fund cannot invest more than 5% of the value of its total assets in
the securities of any one issuer. This restriction applies to 75% of its
total assets.

o     The Fund cannot purchase more than 10% of the voting securities of any
one issuer. All outstanding debt securities and all preferred stock of an
issuer are considered as one class. This restriction does not apply to
securities issued by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities.

o     The Fund cannot concentrate its investments. That means it cannot
invest 25% or more of its total assets in any industry. If deemed appropriate
for attaining its investment objective, the Fund may invest less than but up
to 25% of its total assets in any one industry classification used by the
Fund for investment purposes. For this purpose, a foreign government is
considered an industry.

o     The Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33 1/3% of the value of the
Fund's total assets. The Fund may borrow only from banks and only as a
temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes. The Fund will make
no additional investments while borrowings exceed 5% of the Fund's total
assets. The Fund can borrow only if it maintains a 300% ratio of assets to
borrowings at all times in the manner set forth in the Investment Company Act
of 1940.

o     The Fund cannot invest in physical commodities or physical commodity
contracts. However, the Fund may buy and sell hedging instruments to the
extent specified in its Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information
from time to time. The Fund can also 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.

o     The Fund cannot invest in real estate or real estate limited
partnerships (direct participation programs). However, the Fund may purchase
securities of issuers that engage in real estate operations and securities
which are secured by real estate or interests in real estate.

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 securities of any issuer if, to the knowledge
of the Trust, officers, directors or trustees of the Trust, or the Manager
who owns more than 1/2 of 1% of the outstanding securities of such issuer
together own more than 5% of the outstanding securities of such issuer.

o     The Fund cannot pledge its assets or assign or otherwise encumber its
assets in excess of 10% of its net assets. It can pledge, assign or encumber
its assets only to secure borrowings effected within the limitations set
forth in the Prospectus.

o     The Fund cannot invest for the purpose of exercising control or
management of another company.

o     The Fund cannot issue senior securities (as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940). However, the Fund can enter into any repurchase
agreement, borrow money in accordance with restrictions described above and
lend its portfolio securities.

o     The Fund cannot make loans to any person or individual. However,
portfolio securities may be loaned by the Fund within the limits set forth in
the Prospectus.

|X|   Does the Fund Have Any Restrictions That Are Not Fundamental? The Fund
has a number of other investment restrictions that are not fundamental
policies, which means that they can be changed by the Board of Trustees
without shareholder approval.

o     The Fund cannot make short sales or purchase securities on margin.
However, the Fund can make short-term borrowings when necessary for the
clearance of purchases of portfolio securities. Collateral arrangements in
connection with futures and options transactions are not deemed to be margin
transactions under this restriction.

o     The Fund cannot invest in interests in oil, gas or other mineral
exploration or development programs or leases.


o     The Fund cannot invest in the securities of other registered investment
companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on sub-paragraph
(F) or (G) of section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act.


      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 (except in the case of
borrowing and investments in illiquid securities). 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 assets as
described in the Prospectus, the Fund has adopted, as a matter of
non-fundamental policy, the corporate industry classifications set forth in
Appendix B to this Statement of Additional Information.  The percentage
restrictions described above and in the Prospectus apply only at the time of
investment and require no action by the Fund as a result of subsequent
changes in relative values.


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

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

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

A list of the top 20 portfolio securities holdings (based on invested
assets), listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each month may be
disclosed to third parties (subject to the procedures below) no sooner than
15 days after month-end.  The top 20 holdings also shall be posted on the
Companies' website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com in the "Fund Profiles"
section.  Other general information about a Fund's portfolio investments,
such as portfolio composition by asset class, industry, country, currency,
credit rating or maturity, may also be posted with a 15-day lag.

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

o     The third-party recipient must first submit a request for release of
         Fund portfolio holdings, explaining the business reason for the
         request;
o     Senior officers (a Senior Vice President or above) in the Investment
         Advisor's Portfolio and Legal departments must approve the completed
         request for release of Fund portfolio holdings; and
o     The third-party recipient must sign the Investment Advisor's portfolio
         holdings non-disclosure agreement before receiving the data,
         agreeing to keep confidential information that is not publicly
         available regarding a Fund's holdings and agreeing not to trade
         directly or indirectly based on the information.

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

o     Employees of the Fund's Investment Advisor, Distributor and Transfer
         Agent who need to have access to such information (as determined by
         senior officers of such entity),
o     The Fund's certified public accountants and auditors,
o     Members of the Fund's Board and the Board's legal counsel,
o     The Fund's custodian bank,
o     A proxy voting service designated by the Fund and its Board,
o     Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper and Morningstar),
o     Portfolio pricing services retained by the Investment Advisor to
         provide portfolio security prices, and
o     Dealers, to obtain bids (price quotations, because securities are not
         priced by the Fund's regular pricing services).

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

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

o     Brokers and dealers in connection with portfolio transactions
         (purchases and sales)
o     Brokers and dealers to obtain bids or bid and asked prices (if
         securities held by a Fund are not priced by the fund's regular
         pricing services)
o     Dealers to obtain price quotations where the fund is not identified as
         the owner

Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on a Fund's
entire portfolio or individual securities therein) may be provided by senior
officers of the Investment Advisor or attorneys on the legal staff of the
Investment Advisor, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, in the following
circumstances:

o     Response to legal process in litigation matters, such as responses to
         subpoenas or in class action matters where the Fund may be part of
         the plaintiff class (and seeks recovery for losses on a security) or
         a defendant,
o     Response to regulatory requests for information (the SEC, NASD, state
         securities regulators, and/or foreign securities authorities,
         including without limitation requests for information in inspections
         or for position reporting purposes),
o     To potential sub-advisors of portfolios (but only pursuant to
         confidentiality agreements),
o     To consultants for retirement plans for plan sponsors/discussions at
         due diligence meetings (if entire portfolio holdings are provided,
         however, it shall be done only pursuant to a confidentiality
         agreement),
o     Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (but only
         pursuant to confidentiality agreements)

Portfolio managers and analysts may, subject to the Investment Advisor's
policies on communications with the press and other media, discuss portfolio
information in interviews with members of the media, or in due diligence or
similar meetings with clients or prospective purchasers of Fund shares or
their financial intermediary representatives.

The Fund's shareholders may, under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of
liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions), receive redemption
proceeds of their Fund shares paid as pro rata shares of securities held in
the Fund's portfolio.  In such circumstances, disclosure of the Fund's
portfolio holdings may be made to such shareholders.

The Chief Compliance Officer of the Fund and the Investment Advisor,
Distributor, and Transfer Agent (the "CCO") shall oversee the compliance by
the Investment Advisor, Distributor, Transfer Agent, and their personnel with
these policies and procedures. At least annually, the CCO shall report to the
Fund Board on such compliance oversight and on the categories of entities and
individuals to which disclosure of portfolio holdings of the Funds has been
made during the preceding year pursuant to these policies. The CCO shall
report to the Fund Board any material violation of these policies and
procedures during the previous calendar quarter and shall make
recommendations to the Companies and to the Boards as to any amendments that
the CCO believes are necessary and desirable to carry out or improve these
policies and procedures.

The Investment Advisor and/or the Fund have entered into ongoing arrangements
to make available information about the Fund's portfolio holdings.  One or
more of the Oppenheimer funds may currently disclose portfolio holdings
information based on ongoing arrangements to the following parties:

How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History.  The Fund is an open-end, diversified management
investment company. The Fund is one of three series of Oppenheimer Quest For
Value Funds, an open-end management investment company organized as a
Massachusetts business trust in April 1987 (and which is referred to as the
"Trust").

|X|   Classes of Shares. The Trustees are authorized, without shareholder
approval, 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.

      The Fund  currently has four classes of shares:  Class A, Class B, Class
C and Class N. All  classes  invest  in the same  investment  portfolio.  Only
retirement plans may purchase Class N shares. 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.

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

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

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

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

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees. The Fund is governed by a Board
of Trustees, which is responsible for protecting the interests of
shareholders under 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.


      The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee which is comprised solely
of Independent Trustees.  The members of the Audit Committee are Paul Y.
Clinton (Chairman), Thomas W. Courtney, Robert G. Galli, Lacy B. Herrmann and
Brian Wruble.  The Audit Committee met ___ times during the Fund's fiscal
year ended _________, 2004. The Audit Committee furnishes  the Board with
recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's independent auditor.

      The Audit Committee's functions include selecting and nominating, to
the full Board, nominees for election as Directors and selecting and
nominating Independent Trustees for election.  The Audit Committee may, but
need not, consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and its
affiliates in selecting nominees.  The full Board elects new Trustees except
for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

      To date, the Committee has been able to identify from its own resources
an ample number of qualified candidates.  Nonetheless, shareholders may
submit names of individuals, accompanied by complete and properly supported
resumes, for the Audit Committee's consideration by mailing such information
to the Committee in care of the Fund.  The Committee may consider such
persons at such time as it meets to consider possible nominees.  The
Committee, however, reserves sole discretion to determine the candidates to
present to the Board and/or shareholders when it meets for the purpose of
considering potential nominees.


Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Each of the Trustees is an "Independent
Trustee" under the Investment Company Act. The Fund's Trustees and officers
and their positions held with the Fund and length of service in such
position(s) and their principal occupations and business affiliations during
the past five years are listed in the chart below. The information for the
Trustees also includes the dollar range of shares of the Fund as well as the
aggregate dollar range of shares beneficially owned in any of the Oppenheimer
funds overseen by the Trustees. All of the Trustees are also trustees or
directors of the following Oppenheimer funds (referred to as "Board III
Funds"):

Oppenheimer  Quest  For  Value  Funds,  a
series  fund having the  following  three
series:
  Oppenheimer Small Cap Value Fund,       Oppenheimer Quest Global Value Fund,
                                          Inc.
  Oppenheimer  Quest  Balanced Value Fund Oppenheimer Quest Capital Value
  and                                     Fund, Inc.
  Oppenheimer   Quest  Opportunity  Value Oppenheimer Quest Value Fund, Inc.

York Municipal Fund                       Convertible Securities Fund
Rochester Fund Municipals                 Oppenheimer MidCap Fund

      In addition to being a trustee or director of the Board III Funds, Mr.
Galli is also a director or trustee of 25 other portfolios in the
OppenheimerFunds complex. Present or former officers, directors, trustees and
employees (and their immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and
its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their employees
are permitted to purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other
Oppenheimer funds at net asset value without sales charge. The sales charge
on Class A shares is waived for that group because of the economies of sales
efforts realized by the Distributor.


      Messrs. Damian, Leavy, Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey, Vottiero, Wixted and
Zack and Messes. Bloomberg, and Ives, who are officers of the Fund,
respectively hold the same offices of one or more of the other Board III
Funds as with the Fund.  As of January 31, 2004, the Trustees and Officers of
the Fund, as a group, owned of record or beneficially less than 1% of each
class of shares of the Fund. The foregoing statement does not reflect
ownership of shares of the Fund held of record by an employee benefit plan
for employees of the Manager, other than the shares beneficially owned under
the plan by the officers of the Fund listed above. In addition, each
Independent Trustee, and his or her family members, do not own securities of
either the Manager or Distributor of the Board III Funds or any person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control
with the Manager or Distributor.


      The address of each Trustee in the chart below is 6803 S. Tucson Way,
Centennial, CO 80112-3924. Each Trustee serves for an indefinite term, until
his or her resignation, retirement, death or removal.

   service)  to receive  retirement  plan  benefits as  described  below under
   "Retirement Plan for Trustees."

3.    Includes  $________  estimated  to be paid to Mr. Galli for serving as a

   of 31 other  Oppenheimer  funds (at  December  31, 2004) that are not Board
   III Funds.


|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 Funds for at least seven years in order to be eligible for
retirement plan benefits and must serve for at least 15 years to be eligible
for the maximum benefit. Each Trustee's retirement benefits will depend on
the amount of the Trustee's future compensation and length of service.

|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 is 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 SEC, 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.

      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

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

|X|   Portfolio Proxy Voting.  The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting
Policies and Procedures under which the Fund votes proxies relating to
securities ("portfolio proxies") held by the Fund. The Fund's primary
consideration in voting portfolio proxies is the financial interests of the
Fund and its shareholders. The Fund has retained an unaffiliated third-party
as its agent to vote portfolio proxies in accordance with the Fund's
Portfolio Proxy Voting Guidelines and to maintain records of such portfolio
proxy voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines include provisions to address
conflicts of interest that may arise between the Fund and OFI where an OFI
directly-controlled affiliate manages or administers the assets of a pension
plan of a company soliciting the proxy. The Fund's Portfolio Proxy Voting
Guidelines on routine and non-routine proxy proposals are summarized below.

o     The Fund votes with the recommendation of the issuer's management on
            routine matters, including election of directors nominated by
            management and ratification of auditors, unless circumstances
            indicate otherwise.
o     In general, the Fund opposes anti-takeover proposals and supports
            elimination of anti-takeover proposals, absent unusual
            circumstances.
o     The Fund supports shareholder proposals to reduce a super-majority vote
            requirement, and opposes management proposals to add a
            super-majority vote requirement.
o     The Fund opposes proposals to classify the board of directors.
o     The Fund supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.
o     The Fund opposes re-pricing of stock options.
o     The Fund generally considers executive compensation questions such as
            stock option plans and bonus plans to be ordinary business
            activity. The Fund analyzes stock option plans, paying particular
            attention to their dilutive effect. While the Fund generally
            supports management proposals, the Fund opposes plans it
            considers to be excessive.


      The Fund is required to file new Form N-PX, with its complete proxy
voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of
each year. The Fund's Form N-PX filing is available (i) without charge, upon
request, by calling the Fund toll-free at  1.800.525-7048 and (ii) on the
SEC's website at www.sec.gov.
                 -----------


      |X|   The Investment Advisory Agreement.  The Manager provides
investment advisory and management services to the Fund under an investment
advisory agreement between the Manager and the Fund. The Manager selects
securities for the Fund's portfolio and handles its day-to-day business. The
portfolio managers of the Fund are employed by the Manager and are the
persons who are principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the
Fund's 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 investment advisory agreement between the Fund and the Manager
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. Expenses for the Trust's three series are allocated to
the series in proportion to their net assets, unless allocations of expenses
can be made directly to a series. The advisory agreement lists examples of
expenses paid by the Fund. The major categories relate to calculation of the
Fund's net asset values per share, 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 management fees paid by
the Fund to the Manager during its last three fiscal years were:

          2004                             $

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

      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 resulting from a
good faith error or omission on its part with respect to any of its duties
under the agreement.

    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.

         |X|      Annual Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement. Each
year, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, is required to approve the renewal of the investment advisory
agreement. The Investment Company Act requires that the Board request and
evaluate and the Manager provide such information as may be reasonably
necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.  The
Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides
such information as the Board requests for this purpose.

      The Board also receives information about the 12b-1 distribution fees
the Fund pays.  These distribution fees are reviewed and approved at a
different time of the year.

      The Board reviewed the foregoing information in arriving at its
decision to renew the investment advisory agreement.  Among other factors,
the Board considered:
o     The nature, cost, and quality of the services provided to the Fund and
         its shareholders;
o     The profitability of the Fund to the Manager;
o     The investment performance of the Fund in comparison to regular market
         indices;
o     Economies of scale that may be available to the Fund from the Manager;
o     Fees paid by other mutual funds for similar services;
o     The value and quality of any other benefits or services received by the
         Fund from its relationship with the Manager; and
o     The direct and indirect benefits the Manager received from its
         relationship with the Fund.  These included services provided by the
         Distributor and the Transfer Agent, and brokerage and soft dollar
         arrangements permissible under Section 28(e) of the Securities
         Exchange Act.

      The Board considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain
high quality personnel at competitive rates to provide services to the Fund.
The Board also considered that maintaining the financial viability of the
Manager is important so that the Manager will be able to continue to provide
quality services to the Fund and its shareholders in adverse times.  The
Board also considered the investment performance of other mutual funds
advised by the Manager. The Board is aware that there are alternatives to the
use of the Manager.

      These matters were also considered by the Independent Trustees, meeting
separately from the full Board with experienced Counsel to the Fund who
assisted the Board in its deliberations. The Fund's Counsel is independent of
the Manager within the meaning and intent of the SEC Rules regarding the
independence of counsel.


      After careful deliberation, the Board, including the Independent
Trustees, concluded that it was in the best interest of shareholders to
continue the investment advisory agreement for another year. In arriving at a
decision, the Board did not single out any one factor or group of factors as
being more important than other factors, but considered all factors together.
The Board judged the terms and conditions of the investment advisory
agreement, including the investment advisory fee, in light of all of the
surrounding circumstances.


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, in choosing brokers to execute
portfolio transactions for the Fund, the Manager may select brokers (other
than affiliates) that provide brokerage and/or research services to the Fund
and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates have
investment discretion.  The commissions paid to those brokers may be higher
than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a good faith
determination that the concession is fair and reasonable in relation to the
services provided.Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act prohibits
(effective December 13, 2004) any fund from compensating a broker or dealer
for promoting or selling the fund's shares by (1) directing to that broker or
dealer any of the fund's portfolio transactions, or (2) directing any other
remuneration to that broker or dealer, such as commissions, mark-ups, mark
downs or other fees from the fund's portfolio transactions, that were
effected by another broker or dealer (these latter arrangements are
considered to be a type of "step-out" transaction). In other words, a fund
and its investment advisor cannot use the fund's brokerage for the purpose of
rewarding broker-dealers for selling the fund's shares. However, the Rule
permits funds to effect brokerage transactions through firms that also sell
fund shares, provided that certain procedures are adopted to prevent a quid
pro quo with respect to portfolio brokerage allocations. As permitted by the
Rule, the Manager has adopted procedures (and the Fund's Board of Trustees
has approved those procedures) that permit the Fund to direct portfolio
securities transactions to brokers or dealers that also promote or sell
shares of the Fund, subject to the "best execution" considerations discussed
above. Those procedures are designed to prevent: (1) the Manager's personnel
who effect the Fund's portfolio transactions from taking into account a
broker's or dealer's promotion or sales of the Fund shares when allocating
the Fund's portfolio transactions, and (2) the Fund, the Manager and the
Distributor from entering into agreements or understandings under which the
Manager directs or is expected to direct the Fund's brokerage directly, or
through a "step-out" arrangement, to any broker or dealer in consideration of
that broker's or dealer's promotion or sale of the Fund's shares or the
shares of any of the other Oppenheimer funds.


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

      The sales charges and concessions paid to, or retained by, the
Distributor from the sale of shares and the contingent deferred sales charges
retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares during the Fund's

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. Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of
Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees1, cast in person
at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.


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

      Financial intermediaries, brokers and dealers may receive other
payments from the Distributor or the Manager from their own resources in
connection with the promotion and/or sale of shares of the Fund, including
payments to defray expenses incurred in connection with educational seminars
and meetings.  The Manager or Distributor may share expenses incurred by
financial intermediaries in conducting training and educational meetings
about aspects of the Fund for employees of the intermediaries or for hosting
client seminars or meetings at which the Fund is discussed.  In their sole
discretion, the Manager and/or the Distributor may increase or decrease the
amount of payments they make from their own resources for these purposes.


      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 72 months after purchase, the Fund
must obtain the approval of both Class A and Class B shareholders for a
proposed material amendment to the Class A the plan that would materially
increase payments under the plan. That approval must be by a majority of the
shares of each class, voting separately by class.

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

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


      Under the Class A distribution plan, the plan provides for the Fund to
pay an asset-based sales charge to the Distributor at an annual rate of 0.25%
of average annual net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. Effective January
1, 2003, the Board set that rate to zero.  Prior to that date, the Fund paid
the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge equal to 0.15% of average
annual net assets representing Class A shares purchased before September 1,
1993, and 0.10% of average annual net assets representing Class A shares
purchased on or after that date. The Distributor retained a portion of and
paid the remaining asset-based sales charge to brokers, dealers and financial
institutions.

      With respect to purchases of Class A shares subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge by certain retirement plans that purchased such shares
prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts"), the Distributor
currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the
first year after the shares are purchased. During the first year the shares
are sold, the Distributor retains the service fee to reimburse itself for the
costs of distributing the shares. After the first year shares are
outstanding, the Distributor makes service fee payments to recipients
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 A shares purchased by grandfathered
retirement accounts 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.


      For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 payments under the Class A
plan totaled $_________, of which $________ was service fee payments retained
by the Distributor in connection with the grandfathered retirement accounts,
described above, and included $_______ paid to an affiliate of the
Distributor's parent company. In addition, $_______ was retained for the
asset-based sales charge, as allowed under the plan prior to January 1, 2003.
Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A
shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. The
Distributor may not use payments received under the Class A 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 Distribution and Service Plan Fees. Under
 each plan, distribution and service fees are computed on the average of the
 net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the
 close of each regular business day during the period. Each plan provides for
 the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor's
 distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund
 under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid. The types of
 services that recipients provide are similar to the services provided under
 the Class A service plan, described above.


      Each plan permits the Distributor to retain both the asset-based sales
charges and the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a
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 Class B, Class C and Class N shares are purchased. After the
first year Class B, Class C or Class N shares are outstanding, after their
purchase, the Distributor makes 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. Class B, Class C or Class N
shares may not be purchased by an investor directly from the Distributor
without the investor designating another broker-dealer of record.  If the
investor no longer has another broker-dealer of record for an existing
account, the Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of
record, but solely for the purpose of acting as the investor's agent to
purchase the shares.  In those cases, the Distributor retains the asset-based
sales charge paid on Class B, Class C and Class N shares, but does not retain
any service fees as to the assets represented by that account.

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


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

      The asset-based sales charge 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 charge 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,
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.

      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][Directors] may allow the Fund to continue
payments of the asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for distributing
shares before the plan was terminated.

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 1.800.225.5677 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 SEC. 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.

      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 not 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 those
investments, the types of investments the Fund holds, and its operating
expenses that are allocated to the particular class.

      |X|   Total Return Information. There are different types of "total
returns" to measure the Fund's performance. Total return is the change in
value of a hypothetical investment in the Fund over a given period, assuming
that all dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested in
additional shares and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the
period. Because of differences in expenses for each class of shares, the
total returns for each class are separately measured. The cumulative total
return measures the change in value over the entire period (for example, ten
years). An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for
each year in a period that would produce the cumulative total return over the
entire period. However, average annual total returns do not show actual
year-by-year performance. The Fund 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" in the formula below) (unless the return is
shown without sales charge, as described below). For Class B shares, payment
of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge is applied, depending on
the period for which the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in the
second year, 3.0% in the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0%
in the sixth year and none thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1.0%
contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year
period. For Class N shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge is
deducted for returns for the one-year period, and total returns for the
periods prior to 03/01/01 (the inception date for Class N shares) are based
on the Fund's Class A returns, adjusted to reflect the higher Class N 12b-1
fees.


o     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:

ERV   l/n - 1  Average Annual Total
               Return
  P

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

           - 1 = Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on
ATVD   l/n     Distributions)
---
  P

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

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

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

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

|X|   Lipper Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking of
the performance of its classes of shares by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper"). Lipper
is a widely-recognized independent mutual fund monitoring service. Lipper
monitors the performance of regulated investment companies, including the
Fund, and ranks their performance for various periods in categories based on
investment styles. The Lipper performance rankings are based on total returns
that include the reinvestment of capital gain distributions and income
dividends but do not take sales charges or taxes into consideration. Lipper
also publishes "peer-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 Ratings. From time to time the Fund may publish the star
rating of the performance of its classes of shares by Morningstar, Inc., an
independent mutual fund monitoring service. Morningstar rates mutual funds in
their specialized market sector. The Fund is include rated among small blend
funds.

      Morningstar proprietary star ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted
total investment return. For each fund with at least a three-year history,
Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating(TM)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 three-, five-and ten-year (if applicable)
Morningstar Rating metrics.

      |X|   Performance Rankings and Comparisons by Other Entities and
Publications. From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements
and sales literature performance information about the Fund cited in
newspapers and other periodicals such as The New York Times, The Wall Street
Journal, Barron's, or similar publications. That information may include
performance quotations from other sources, including Lipper and Morningstar.
The performance of the Fund's classes of shares may be compared in
publications to the performance
of various market indices or other investments, and averages, performance
rankings or other benchmarks prepared by recognized mutual 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 C 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 $50 and shareholders must invest at least $500 before an
                     ---
Asset Builder Plan (described below) can be established on a new account.
Accounts established prior to November 1, 2002 will remain at $25 for
additional purchases. Shares will be purchased on the regular business day
the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated Clearing House
("ACH") transfer to buy the shares. Dividends will begin to accrue on shares
purchased with the proceeds of ACH transfers on the business day the Fund
receives Federal Funds for the purchase through the ACH system before the
close of The New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"). The Exchange normally
closes at 4:00 P.M., but may close earlier on certain days. If Federal Funds
are received on a business day after the close of the Exchange, the shares
will be purchased and dividends will begin to accrue on the next regular
business day. The proceeds of ACH transfers are normally received by the Fund
three days after the transfers are initiated. If the proceeds of the ACH
transfer are not received on a timely basis, the Distributor reserves the
right to cancel the purchase order. The Distributor and the Fund are not
responsible for any delays in purchasing shares resulting from delays in ACH
transmissions.


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

      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.

The Oppenheimer Funds. The Oppenheimer funds are those mutual funds for which
the Distributor acts as the distributor and currently include the following:

Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust    Centennial Tax Exempt Trust

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

Letters of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent ("Letter"), 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. Letters do not consider Class C or Class N shares you purchase or may
have purchased.

      A Letter 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
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
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. 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.

      If the total eligible purchases made during the Letter 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 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.  If the intended  purchase  amount under a Letter
entered into by an OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plan is not purchased by
the plan by the end of the  Letter  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 period
will be deducted. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the
investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter when placing any purchase
orders for the investor during the Letter 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 13-month Letter period, the escrowed shares will be
promptly released to the investor.

      3. If, at the end of the 13-month Letter 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 sixty 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. As explained in the Prospectus, you must initially
establish your account with $500. Subsequently, you can establish an Asset
Builder Plan to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank
account for as little as $50. For those accounts established prior to
November 1, 2002 and which have previously established Asset Builder Plans,
additional purchases will remain at $25. 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 fund account to make monthly automatic
purchases of shares of up to four other Oppenheimer funds.

      If you make 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 you 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 charges or at reduced sales charge rates, as
described in an Appendix 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 $1 million in assets invested in
applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market funds),
then the retirement plan may purchase only Class C shares of the Oppenheimer
funds.  If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record
keeping service agreement the plan has $1 million or more in assets but less
than $5 million in assets invested in applicable investments (other than
assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase
only Class N shares of the Oppenheimer funds.  If on the date the plan
sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement the plan
has $5 million or more in assets invested in applicable investments (other
than assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may
purchase only Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds.


      OppenheimerFunds has entered into arrangements with certain record
keepers whereby the Transfer Agent compensates the record keeper for its
record keeping and account servicing functions that it performs on behalf of
the participant level accounts of a retirement plan. While such compensation
may act to reduce the record keeping fees charged by the retirement plan's
record keeper, that compensation arrangement may be terminated at any time,
potentially affecting the record keeping fees charged by the retirement
plan's record keeper.

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

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

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


      The Distributor will not accept purchase order of $100,000 or more for
Class B shares or a purchase order of $1 million or more to purchase Class C
shares on behalf of a single investor (not including dealer "street name" or
omnibus accounts).


      Class A Shares Subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. For
purchases of Class A shares at net asset value whether or not subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge as described in the Prospectus, no sales
concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of record, 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 Class A 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 72 months after purchase is not treated as a
taxable event for the shareholder. If those laws or the IRS interpretation of
those laws should change, the automatic conversion feature may be suspended.
In that event, no further conversions of Class B shares would occur while
that suspension remained in effect. Although Class B shares could then be
exchanged for Class A shares on the basis of relative net asset value of the
two classes, without the imposition of a sales charge or fee, such exchange
could constitute a taxable event for the shareholder, and absent such
exchange, Class B shares might continue to be subject to the asset-based
sales charge for longer than six years.

      |X|   Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of
the types of retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained in
the prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:
o     to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),
o     to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans,
            Profit-Sharing Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans,
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 C 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:
         purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a
            retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption
            proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds
            (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle
            or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer
            funds),
         purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a
            retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption
            proceeds of  Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held
            by the plan for more than one year (other than rollovers from an
            OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to
            any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds), and
         on purchases of Class N shares by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored
            Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan made with the redemption
            proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds.

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

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

      The methodology for calculating the net asset value, dividends and
distributions of the Fund's share classes recognizes two types of expenses.
General expenses that do not pertain specifically to any one class are
allocated pro rata to the shares of all classes. The allocation is based on
the percentage of 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).


Fund Account Fees. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual "Minimum Balance
Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a share balance valued under $500.
The Minimum Balance Fee is automatically deducted from each such Fund account
on or about the second to last business day of September.

      Listed below are certain cases in which the Fund has elected, in its
discretion, not to assess the Fund Account Fees.  These exceptions are
subject to change:
         A fund account whose shares were acquired after September 30th of
            the prior year;
o     A fund account that has a balance below $500 due to the automatic
            conversion of shares from Class B to Class A shares. However,
            once all Class B shares held in the account have been converted
            to Class A shares the new account balance may become subject to
            the Minimum Balance Fee;
o     Accounts of shareholders who elect to access their account documents
            electronically via eDoc Direct;
o     A fund account that has only certificated shares and, has a balance
            below $500 and is being escheated;
o     Accounts of shareholders that are held by broker-dealers under the NSCC
            Fund/SERV system;
o     Accounts held under the Oppenheimer Legacy Program and/or holding
            certain Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds;
o     Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle, Ascender,
            Custom Plus, Recordkeeper Pro and Pension Alliance Retirement
            Plan programs; and
o     A fund account that falls below the $500 minimum solely due to market
            fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the
            fee is deducted.

      The Fund reserves the authority to modify Fund Account Fees
in its discretion.


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 Exchange on each day that the Exchange is open. The
calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets
attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are
outstanding. The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, but may
close earlier on some other days (for example, in case of weather emergencies
or on days falling before a U.S. holiday). All references to time in this
Statement of Additional Information mean "Eastern time." The Exchange's most
recent annual announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will
close on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good
Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and
Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.


      Dealers other than Exchange members may conduct trading in certain
securities on days on which the Exchange is closed (including weekends and
holidays) or after 4:00 P.M. on a regular business day. Because the Fund's
net asset values will not be calculated on those days, the Fund's net asset
values per share may be significantly affected on 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 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 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. The Manager, or an internal valuation committee established
by the Manager, as applicable, may establish a valuation, under procedures
established by the Board and subject to the approval, ratification and
confirmation by the Board at its next ensuing meeting.


      |X|   Securities Valuation.  The Fund's Board of Trustees has
established procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities. In general
those procedures are as follows:
o     Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on Nasdaq(R)
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(R), 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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     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(R), 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(R)on
the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the
principal exchange or on Nasdaq(R)on the valuation date. If the put, call or
future is not traded on an exchange or on Nasdaq(R), it shall be valued by the
mean between "bid" and "asked" prices obtained by the Manager from two active
market makers. In certain cases that may be at the "bid" price if no "asked"
price is available.


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

How to Sell Shares

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

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire.  The Federal Funds wire of
redemption proceeds may be delayed if the Fund's custodian bank is not open
for business on a day when the Fund would normally authorize the wire to be
made, which is usually the Fund's next regular business day following the
redemption. In those circumstances, the wire will not be transmitted until
the next bank business day on which the Fund is open for business. No
dividends will be paid on the proceeds of redeemed shares awaiting transfer
by Federal Funds wire.

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may
reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of:
o     Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class A
         shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or
o     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 and Class N 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 and Class N contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in
determining the order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Requests for distributions from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial
plans, 401(k) plans or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to
"Trustee, OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its
address listed in "How To Sell 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 plan sponsors) in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of the
Fund held in the name of the plan or its fiduciary may not directly request
redemption of their accounts. The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign
the request.

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

Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers. The
Distributor is the Fund's agent to repurchase its shares from authorized
dealers or brokers on behalf of their customers. Shareholders should contact
their broker or dealer to arrange this type of redemption. The repurchase
price per share will be the net asset value next computed after the
Distributor receives an order placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the
Distributor receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the
close of the 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 C 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.

      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 $50. Instructions
should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds Application or
signature-guaranteed instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are
subject to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in "How to
Exchange Shares" in the Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional
Information.

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.

      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 of shares by calling the Distributor.

o     All of the Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class A, B, C, N and Y

o     Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. only offers Class A and Class Y
      shares.

o     Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for
      shares of any other fund.
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

      plans.
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  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 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.
o     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.
o     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.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (8/5/2010).
   o        Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund II may
      be exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund II until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (2/4/2011).

o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund III may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund III until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (12/6/2011).


      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, with the
following exceptions:

o     When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund (other than Rochester
National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) acquired by exchange of
Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A
contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 18 months measured from
the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the exchanged
Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on
the redeemed shares.

o     When Class A shares of Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund
Municipals acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund
purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed
within 24 months of the beginning of the calendar month of the initial
purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred
sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares.

o     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     When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves and Oppenheimer Money
Market Fund, Inc. acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer
fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are
redeemed within the Class A holding period of the fund from which the shares
were exchanged, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the fund from
which the shares were exchanged is imposed on the redeemed shares.


o     With respect to Class B shares (other than Limited-Term Government
Fund, Limited Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund,
Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate
Fund), the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B
shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within six years of the
initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

o     With respect to Class B shares of Limited-Term Government Fund, Limited
Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund, Oppenheimer
Capital Preservation Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, the
Class B contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on Class B shares
acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 5 years of the initial
purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.


o     With respect to Class C shares, the Class C contingent deferred sales
charge is imposed on Class C shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed
within 12 months of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class C shares.

o     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.

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

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

      |X|   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.

      |X|   Telephone Exchange Requests. When exchanging shares by telephone,
a shareholder must have an existing account in the fund to which the exchange
is to be made. Otherwise, the investors must obtain a prospectus of that fund
before the exchange request may be submitted. If all telephone lines are busy
(which might occur, for example, during periods of substantial market
fluctuations), shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by
telephone and would have to submit written exchange requests.

      Processing  Exchange  Requests.  Shares to be exchanged  are redeemed on
the regular  business day the Transfer Agent  receives an exchange  request in
proper  form  (the  "Redemption  Date").  Normally,  shares  of the fund to be
acquired are  purchased on the  Redemption  Date,  but such  purchases  may be
delayed  by either  fund up to five  business  days if 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.

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 12 months after the close of the
taxable year, will be considered distributions of income and gains for the
taxable year and will therefore count toward satisfaction of the
above-mentioned requirement.

      To qualify as a regulated investment company, 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 (including receivables), 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.


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][Directors] 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.


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.

      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 a long-term capital gain and will be properly identified in reports sent
to shareholders in January of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter
how long the shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was
recognized by the 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, the Fund will provide to shareholders of record
on the last day of its taxable year information regarding their pro rata
share of the gain and tax paid. As a result, each shareholder will be
required to report his or her pro rata share of such gain on 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 28% of ordinary
income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the
redemption of shares, paid to any shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a
correct taxpayer identification number or to properly certify that number
-------
when required, (2) who is subject to backup withholding for failure to report
the receipt of interest or dividend income properly, or (3) who has failed to
certify to the Fund that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding
or is an "exempt recipient" (such as a corporation). Any tax withheld by the
Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax
withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of each
year.


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.

Foreign Shareholders. Under U.S. tax law, taxation of a shareholder who is a
foreign person (to include, but not limited to, a nonresident alien
individual, a foreign trust, a foreign estate, a foreign corporation, or a
foreign partnership) primarily depends on whether the foreign person's income
from the Fund is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or
business. Typically, ordinary income dividends paid from a mutual fund are
not considered "effectively connected" income.


      Ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund (and are deemed not
"effectively connected income") to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S.
tax withheld by the Fund at a rate of 30%, provided the Fund obtains a
properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. The tax rate may
be reduced if the foreign person's country of residence has a tax treaty with
the U.S. allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends paid by
the Fund. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S.
Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed
to shareholders in March of each year.


      If the ordinary income dividends from the Fund are effectively
                                                     ---
connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, then the foreign
person may claim an exemption from the U.S. tax described above provided the
Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status.
If the foreign person fails to provide a certification of his/her foreign
status, the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of 28% on
ordinary income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of
the redemption of shares, paid to any foreign person. All income and any tax
withheld (in this situation) by the Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S.
Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of
each year.

      The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits
of an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein.
Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors or the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service with respect to the particular tax consequences to
them of an investment in the Fund, including the applicability of the U.S.
withholding taxes described above.

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund. Shareholders of 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

                             RATINGS DEFINITIONS
                             -------------------

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the
nationally-recognized rating agencies listed below. Those ratings represent
the opinion of the agency as to the credit quality of issues that they rate.
The summaries below are based upon publicly available information provided by
the rating organizations.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")

LONG-TERM RATINGS: BONDS AND PREFERRED STOCK ISSUER RATINGS

Aaa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Aaa" are judged to be the best quality.
They carry the smallest degree of investment risk.  Interest payments are
protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is
secure.  While the various protective elements are likely to change, the
changes that can be expected are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally
strong position of such issues.

Aa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by
all standards. Together with the "Aaa" group, they comprise what are
generally known as high-grade bonds.  They are rated lower than the best
bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as with "Aaa"
securities or fluctuation of protective elements may be of greater amplitude
or there may be other elements present which make the long-term risk appear
somewhat larger than that of "Aaa" securities.

A: Bonds and preferred stock rated "A" possess many favorable investment
attributes and are to be considered as upper-medium grade obligations.
Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but
elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some
time in the future.

Baa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Baa" are considered medium-grade
obligations; that is, they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.
Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but
certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically
unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding
investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative
elements. Their future cannot be considered well-assured.  Often the
protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and
thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future.
Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B: Bonds and preferred stock rated "B" generally lack characteristics of the
desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of
maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may
be small.

Caa: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Caa" are of poor standing. Such issues
may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to
principal or interest.
Ca: Bonds and preferred stock rated "Ca" represent obligations which are
speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other
marked shortcomings.

C:  Bonds and preferred stock rated "C" are the lowest class of rated bonds
and can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.

Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating
classification from "Aa" through "Caa." The modifier "1" indicates that the
obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the
modifier "2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates a
ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Advanced refunded
issues that are secured by certain assets are identified with a # symbol.

PRIME RATING SYSTEM (SHORT-TERM RATINGS - TAXABLE DEBT)
These ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to honor senior
financial obligations and contracts. Such obligations generally have an
original maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

Prime-1: Issuer has a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term
debt obligations.

Prime-2: Issuer has a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt
obligations. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more
subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while appropriate, may
be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is
maintained.

Prime-3: Issuer has an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term
obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions
may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result
in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require
relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is
maintained.

Not Prime: Issuer does not fall within any Prime rating category.

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's"), a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

LONG-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following
considerations:
o     Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet
      its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms
      of the obligation;
o     Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and
o     Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the
      event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the
      laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.
   The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As
such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are
typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority
in bankruptcy, as noted above.

AAA: An obligation  rated "AAA" have the highest rating assigned by Standard &
Poor's.  The  obligor's  capacity  to meet  its  financial  commitment  on the
obligation is extremely strong.

AA: An obligation  rated "AA" differ from the highest rated  obligations  only
in small degree.  The obligor's  capacity to meet its financial  commitment on
the obligation is very strong.

A: An  obligation  rated "A" are  somewhat  more  susceptible  to the  adverse
effects of changes in circumstances  and economic  conditions than obligations
in  higher-rated  categories.  However,  the  obligor's  capacity  to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB:  An  obligation  rated  "BBB"  exhibit  adequate  protection  parameters.
However,  adverse  economic  conditions  or  changing  circumstances  are more
likely to lead to a weakened  capacity  of the  obligor to meet its  financial
commitment on the obligation.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C
An obligation rated `BB', `B', `CCC', `CC', and `C' are regarded as having
significant speculative characteristics. `BB' indicates the least degree of
speculation and `C' the highest. While such obligations will likely have some
quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large
uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

BB: An obligation  rated "BB" are less  vulnerable  to  nonpayment  than other
speculative  issues.   However,  they  face  major  ongoing  uncertainties  or
exposure to adverse business,  financial,  or economic  conditions which could
lead to the obligor's  inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation.

B: An obligation  rated "B" are more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations
rated "BB",  but the obligor  currently has the capacity to meet its financial
commitment  on  the  obligation.  Adverse  business,  financial,  or  economic
conditions  will likely impair the obligor's  capacity or  willingness to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC: An obligation  rated "CCC" are currently  vulnerable to  nonpayment,  and
are dependent upon favorable business,  financial, and economic conditions for
the obligor to meet its financial  commitment on the obligation.  In the event
of adverse business,  financial,  or economic  conditions,  the obligor is not
likely  to  have  the  capacity  to  meet  its  financial  commitment  on  the
obligation.

CC: An obligation rated "CC" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C:  Subordinated  debt or preferred stock  obligations rated "C" are currently
highly  vulnerable  to  nonpayment.  The "C"  rating  may be  used to  cover a
situation where a bankruptcy  petition has been filed or similar action taken,
but  payments  on this  obligation  are  being  continued.  A "C" also will be
assigned to a preferred  stock issue in arrears on  dividends  or sinking fund
payments, but that is currently paying.

D: An obligation rated "D" are in payment default.  The "D" rating category is
used when payments on an  obligation  are not made on the date due even if the
applicable  grace period has not expired,  unless  Standard & Poor's  believes
that such payments will be made during such grace period.  The "D" rating also
will be used  upon the  filing of a  bankruptcy  petition  or the  taking of a
similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the addition of a plus (+)
or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating
categories.

c: The `c' subscript is used to provide additional information to investors
that the bank may terminate its obligation to purchase tendered bonds if the
long-term credit rating of the issuer is below an investment-grade level
and/or the issuer's bonds are deemed taxable.

p: The letter `p' indicates that the rating is provisional. A provisional
rating assumes the successful completion of the project financed by the debt
being rated and indicates that payment of debt service requirements is
largely or entirely dependent upon the successful, timely completion of the
project. This rating, however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to
completion of the project, makes no comment on the likelihood of or the risk
of default upon failure of such completion. The investor should exercise his
own judgment with respect to such likelihood and risk.

Continuance of the ratings is contingent upon Standard & Poor's receipt of an
executed copy of the escrow agreement or closing documentation confirming
investments and cash flows.

r: The `r' highlights derivative, hybrid, and certain other obligations that
Standard & Poor's believes may experience high volatility or high variability
in expected returns as a result of noncredit risks. Examples of such
obligations are securities with principal or interest return indexed to
equities, commodities, or currencies; certain swaps and options; and
interest-only and principal-only mortgage securities. The absence of an `r'
symbol should not be taken as an indication that an obligation will exhibit
no volatility or variability in total return.

N.R. Not rated.

Debt obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories are
rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues. The
ratings measure the creditworthiness of the obligor but do not take into
account currency exchange and related uncertainties.

Bond Investment Quality Standards

Under present commercial bank regulations issued by the Comptroller of the
Currency, bonds rated in the top four categories (`AAA', `AA', `A', `BBB',
commonly known as investment-grade ratings) generally are regarded as
eligible for bank investment. Also, the laws of various states governing
legal investments impose certain rating or other standards for obligations
eligible for investment by savings banks, trust companies, insurance
companies, and fiduciaries in general

SHORT-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered
short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means
obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 days-including
commercial paper.

A-1: A short-term obligation rated "A-1" is rated in the highest category by
Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are
designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity
to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

A-2: A short-term obligation rated "A-2" is somewhat more susceptible to the
adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.
A-3: A short-term obligation rated "A-3" exhibits adequate protection
parameters. However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances
are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation.

B: A short-term obligation rated "B" is regarded as having significant
speculative characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation; however, it faces major ongoing
uncertainties which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation.

C: A short-term obligation rated "C" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment
and is dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions
for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

D: A short-term obligation rated "D" is in payment default. The "D" rating
category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due
even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D"
rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the
taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

NOTES:
A Standard & Poor's note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market
access risks unique to notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely
receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely
receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in
making that assessment:
o     Amortization schedule-the larger the final maturity relative to other
      maturities, the more likely it will
      be treated as a note; and
o     Source of payment-the more dependent the issue is on the market for its
      refinancing, the more likely
      it will be treated as a note.

SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue with a very
strong capacity to pay debt service is given a (+) designation.

SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some
vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the
notes.

SP-3: Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Fitch, Inc.

International credit ratings assess the capacity to meet foreign currency or
local currency commitments. Both "foreign currency" and "local currency"
ratings are internationally comparable assessments. The local currency rating
measures the probability of payment within the relevant sovereign state's
currency and jurisdiction and therefore, unlike the foreign currency rating,
does not take account of the possibility of foreign exchange controls
limiting transfer into foreign currency.


INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings.

Investment Grade:

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of
credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly
unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.
AA: Very High Credit Quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of
credit risk. They indicate a very strong capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to
foreseeable events.

A: High Credit Quality. "A" ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk.
The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered
strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in
circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

BBB: Good Credit Quality. "BBB" ratings indicate that there is currently a
low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and
in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the
lowest investment-grade category.

Speculative Grade:

BB: Speculative. "BB" ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit
risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over
time. However, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow
financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not
investment grade.


B: Highly Speculative. "B" ratings indicate that significant credit risk is
present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are
currently being met. However, capacity for continued payment is contingent
upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

CCC, CC C: High Default Risk.  Default is a real possibility. Capacity for
meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable
business or economic developments. A "CC" rating indicates that default of
some kind appears probable. "C" ratings signal imminent default.

DDD, DD, and D: Default. The ratings of obligations in this category are
based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a
reorganization or liquidation of the obligor. While expected recovery values
are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the
following serve as general guidelines. "DDD" obligations have the highest
potential for recovery, around 90%-100% of outstanding amounts and accrued
interest. "DD" indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and
"D" the lowest recovery potential, i.e., below 50%.

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their
obligations. Entities rated "DDD" have the highest prospect for resumption of
performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization
process. Entities rated "DD" and "D" are generally undergoing a formal
reorganization or liquidation process; those rated "DD" are likely to satisfy
a higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated "D"
have a poor prospect for repaying all obligations.

Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote
relative status within the major rating categories.  Plus and minus signs are
not added to the "AAA" category or to categories below "CCC," nor to
short-term ratings other than "F1" (see below).

INTERNATIONAL SHORT-TERM CREDIT RATINGS
The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency
ratings. A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for
most obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities,
and thus places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial
commitments in a timely manner.

F1: Highest credit quality. Strongest capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. May have an added "+" to denote any exceptionally
strong credit feature.

F2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the
case of higher ratings.

F3: Fair credit quality. Capacity for timely payment of financial commitments
is adequate. However, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction
to non-investment grade.

B: Speculative. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial commitments,
plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and economic
conditions.

C: High default risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting
financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business
and economic environment.

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers
--------------------------------------------------------------

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class
A shares2 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.3  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 plans4
         4) Group Retirement Plans5
         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.

 Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

      There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases
may be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed
within 18 months (24 months in the case of Oppenheimer Rochester National
Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) of the beginning of the calendar
month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver
described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption).
Additionally, on shares purchased under these waivers that are subject to the
Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor will pay the
applicable concession described in the Prospectus under "Class A Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge."6 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. That included plans
         (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares
         costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more
         eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3)
         certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan
         purchases of $200,000 or more.
|_|   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
            manager).

Additional Information of the Oppenheimer funds are modified as described
below for certain persons who were shareholders of the former Quest for Value

            annually, and
o     liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value
            of shares held in the account is less than the required minimum
            value of such accounts.

|X|   Waivers for Redemptions of Shares Purchased on or After March 6, 1995
but Prior to November 24, 1995. In the following cases, the contingent
deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of Class A, Class B or
Class C shares of an Oppenheimer fund. The shares must have been acquired by
the merger of a Former Quest for Value Fund into the fund or by exchange from
an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Quest For Value Fund or into which such
Former Quest for Value Fund merged. Those shares must have been purchased on
or after March 6, 1995, but prior to November 24, 1995:
o     redemptions following the death or disability of the shareholder(s) (as
            evidenced by a determination of total disability by the U.S.
            Social Security Administration);
o     withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan (but only for Class B or
            Class C shares) where the annual withdrawals do not exceed 10% of
            the initial value of the account value; adjusted annually, and
o     liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value
            of shares held in the account is less than the required minimum
            account value.
      A shareholder's account will be credited with the amount of any
contingent deferred sales charge paid on the redemption of any Class A, Class
B or Class C shares of the Oppenheimer fund described in this section if the
proceeds are invested in the same Class of shares in that fund or another
Oppenheimer fund within 90 days after redemption.

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

|X|   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.


|X|






      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) Directors 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:

   2) upon the disability of a shareholder, as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of
      the Internal Revenue Code;

--------
1 In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term
"Independent Trustees" in this Statement of Additional Information refers to
those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who do not
have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the
distribution plan or any agreement under the plan.
2 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible
Securities Fund.
3 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.
4 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.
5 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.
6 However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts
of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a Retirement
Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C
shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one
year.
7 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

8 This provision only applies to qualified retirement plans and 403(b)(7)
custodial plans after your separation from service in or after the year you
reached age 55.

9 The distribution must be requested prior to Plan termination or the
elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option under the Plan.
10 This provision does not apply to IRAs.
11 This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans and
loans from the OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single K retirement plan.
12 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the
participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.

Item 23.  Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund
---------------------------------------------------------------------


None.

Item 24.  Indemnification
-------------------------


      Reference is made to the  provisions  of Article  Seven of  Registrant's
Articles  of  Amendment  and  Restatement  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.
