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 SAI contains supplemental information about those policies and risks and the types of securities in which the Fund can invest. Additional information is also provided about the strategies that the Fund may use to try to achieve its investment objective.

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

The Fund's Main Investment Policies

Investments in Equity Securities. The Fund emphasizes investments in equity securities of small- and mid- 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 up to $13 billion that includes both small-cap stocks (stocks of issuers that have a market capitalization under $3 billion) and mid-cap stocks (stocks of issuers having a capitalization between $3 billion and $13 billion). The Fund has no fixed ratio for small-cap and mid-cap stocks in its portfolio, and while its focus is on stocks of U.S. companies, it may invest in stocks of small- and mid-cap foreign issuers as well. The Fund can purchase securities of issuers having a larger market capitalization. The Fund is not required to sell securities of an issuer it holds if the issuer's capitalization exceeds $13 billion.

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).

At times, in the Manager's view, the market may favor or disfavor securities of issuers of a particular capitalization range. Therefore, the Fund may change the proportion of its equity investments in securities of different capitalization ranges, based upon the Manager's judgment of where the best market opportunities are to seek the Fund's objective.

Securities of newer, small- and mid-cap companies might offer greater opportunities for capital appreciation than securities of larger, more established companies. However, these securities also involve greater risks than securities of larger companies. Securities of small- and mid- capitalization issuers may be subject to greater price volatility in general than securities of large-cap companies. Therefore, to the degree that the Fund has investments in smaller and mid- size capitalization companies at times of market volatility, the Fund's share price may fluctuate more than that of funds focusing on larger-capitalization issuers.

Value Investing. A value investing approach seeks stocks and other equity securities that appear to be temporarily undervalued by various measures such as price/earnings ratios. Value investing looks for securities with low prices in relation to their real worth or future prospects in the hope that the prices will rise when other investors realize the intrinsic value of the securities.

Value investing uses research into an issuer's underlying financial condition and prospects to identify potential investments. Some of the criteria that may be used are:

• Price/earnings ratio, which is a stock's price divided by its earnings (or its long-term earnings potential) per share. A stock that has a price/earnings ratio lower than its historical range, or lower than the market as a whole or than similar companies, may offer an attractive investment opportunity.

• Price/book value ratio, which is the stock price divided by the book value per share of the company. 

• Dividend yield, which is measured by dividing the annual dividend by the stock price per share.

• Asset valuation, which compares the stock price to the value of the company's underlying assets, including their projected value in the marketplace, their liquidation value and their intellectual property value.  

Preferred Stock. Preferred stock are equity securities that have a dividend rate payable from the company's earnings. Their stated dividend rate causes preferred stock to have some characteristics of debt securities. If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stock may be less attractive and the price of those securities will likely decline. If interest rates fall their price will likely increase.

Preferred stock dividends may be cumulative or non-cumulative, participating, or auction rate. "Cumulative" dividend provisions require that all, or a portion of, any unpaid dividends must be paid before the issuer can pay dividends on its common stock. "Participating" preferred stock may be entitled to a larger dividend than the stated dividend in certain cases. "Auction rate" preferred stock has a dividend rate that is set by a Dutch auction process.

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 rates fall.

Preferred stock do not constitute a liability of the issuer and therefore do not offer the same degree of capital protection or assured income as debt securities. Preferred stock generally rank ahead of common stock and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy.

Convertible Securities. Convertible securities are debt securities or preferred stocks that are convertible into the issuer's common stock or other equity securities. While many convertible securities are considered to be mainly debt securities, certain convertible securities are regarded more as "equity equivalents" because of their conversion feature. The market value of a convertible security reflects both its "investment value," which is its expected income potential, and its "conversion value," which is its anticipated market value if it were converted. If its investment value exceeds its 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 its conversion value exceeds its investment value, the security will behave more like an equity security. In that case its price will tend to fluctuate with the price of the underlying common stock or other security.

Convertible debt securities, like other debt securities, are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. 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 an issuer's bankruptcy or liquidation.

For convertible securities that are considered to be "equity equivalents," their credit quality generally has less impact on the security's value than in the case of non-convertible debt securities. To determine whether convertible securities should be regarded as "equity equivalents," the Manager may consider a number of factors, including:

• whether the convertible security can be exchanged for a fixed number of shares of common stock of the issuer or is subject to a "cap" or a conversion formula or other type of limit;

• whether the convertible security can be exchanged at a time determined by the investor rather than by the issuer;

• whether the issuer of the convertible securities has restated its earnings per share on a fully diluted basis (that is, as if all of the issuer's convertible securities were converted into common stock); and

• the extent to which the convertible security may participate in any appreciation in the price of the issuer's common stock.

Debt Securities. Although the Fund invests mainly in equity securities, it can also invest in bonds, debentures and other debt securities. It is not anticipated that a significant amount of the Fund's assets will be invested in debt securities. In general, debt securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk.

• Credit Risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest or principal payments on the security as they become due. If the issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income might be reduced, and if the issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the value of the security might fall. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse credit information about an issuer can reduce the market value of the issuer's securities.

• Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of a debt security resulting from the relationship between price and yield. An increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already-issued debt securities and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. Debt securities with longer maturities are usually subject to greater fluctuations in value from interest rate changes than obligations having shorter maturities. Variable rate debt securities pay interest based on an interest rate benchmark. When the benchmark rate changes, the interest payments on those securities may be reset at a higher or lower rate. Except for investments in variable rate debt securities, fluctuations in general interest rates do not affect the amount of interest income received. Fluctuations in the market valuations of debt securities may, however, affect the value of Fund assets.

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.

U.S. Government Securities. Securities issued by the U.S. Treasury are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and are subject to relatively little credit risk. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities (including mortgage-backed securities) may be guaranteed or supported by the "full faith and credit" of the United States or may be backed by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury or by the discretionary authority of the U.S. Government to purchase the agencies' obligations. Others are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality. "Full faith and credit" means that the taxing power of the U.S. Government is pledged to the payment of interest and repayment of principal on a security. 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.

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

     Bank Obligations. Bank obligations include time deposits, certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances and other bank obligations that are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"). The FDIC currently insures the deposits of member banks up to $250,000 per account. Bank obligations also include obligations issued or guaranteed by a domestic bank (including a foreign branch of a domestic bank) having total assets of at least U.S. $1 billion, or obligations of a foreign bank with total assets of at least U.S. $1 billion. Those banks may include commercial banks, savings banks, and savings and loan associations that may or may not be members of the FDIC.

Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits in a bank for a specified period of time at a stated interest rate. Time deposits may be subject to withdrawal notices and penalties.

Bankers' acceptances are marketable short-term credit instruments used to finance the import, export, transfer or storage of goods. They are deemed "accepted" when a bank guarantees their payment at maturity.

Bank obligations may have a limited market and may be deemed "illiquid" unless the obligation, including principal amount plus accrued interest, is payable within seven days after demand. Time deposits that are subject to withdrawal notices and penalties, other than those maturing in seven days or less, are also considered illiquid investments.

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.

Variable Amount Master Demand Notes. Master demand notes are direct arrangements of obligations, between a lender and a corporate borrower, that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts of money at varying rates of interest. They permit daily changes in the amounts borrowed. The lender has the right to increase or decrease the amount it lends under the note at any time, up to the full amount provided by the note agreement. 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.

These notes are direct lending arrangements between the lender and borrower and there is no secondary market for them. The principal plus accrued interest is redeemable at any time, however. This right to redeem the notes depends on the ability of the borrower to make the specified payments on demand. The Manager will consider the earning power, cash flow and other liquidity ratios of an 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 in illiquid securities.

The Fund does not currently intend to invest more than 5% of its total assets in variable amount master demand notes. The Fund has no limitations on the type of issuer from whom these notes will be purchased.

Foreign Securities. Foreign securities include equity and debt securities of companies organized under the laws of countries other than the United States and debt securities issued or guaranteed by foreign governmental or by supra-national entities. They may also include securities of companies (including those that are located in the U.S. or organized under U.S. law) that derive a significant portion of their revenue or profits from foreign businesses, investments or sales, or that have a significant portion of their assets abroad. Securities denominated in foreign currencies issued by U.S. companies may also be considered to be "foreign securities." Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American Depository Receipts or that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange or traded in the U.S. over-the-counter markets may not be considered "foreign securities" because they are not subject to many of the special considerations and risks that apply to foreign securities held and traded abroad. Foreign securities may be traded on foreign securities exchanges or in foreign over-the-counter markets.

Investing in foreign securities offers potential benefits that are not available from investing only in the securities of U.S. issuers. Those benefits include the opportunity to invest in a wider range of issuers, in countries with economic policies or business cycles that differ from those in the U.S. and in markets that often do not move parallel to U.S. markets. Because of these features, foreign investments may reduce portfolio volatility.

The percentage of assets allocated to foreign securities may vary over time depending on a number of factors including the relative yields of foreign and U.S. securities, the economies of foreign countries, the condition of foreign financial markets, the interest rate climate in particular foreign countries, and the relationship of foreign currencies to the U.S. dollar. The Manager may analyze fundamental economic criteria, for example: relative inflation levels and trends, growth rate forecasts, balance of payments status, interest rates, market conditions, currency values, trade barriers, social and political factors, and economic policies.

The Fund will hold foreign currency only in connection with the purchase or sale of foreign securities.

Foreign Debt Securities.  Foreign debt securities include securities issued by foreign governments and companies as well as by "supra-national" entities or their agencies or instrumentalities. Investment in the debt securities of a foreign government or its agencies and instrumentalities ("foreign sovereign debt") may involve a high degree of risk. Foreign sovereign debt obligations may or may not be supported by the full faith and credit of the foreign government. Because of political or economic constraints, the government entity that issued the debt security may not be willing or able to pay interest or repay principle when due. In such a situation, it may request rescheduling the debt or extending further loans to the entity. If a foreign government entity defaults on a debt obligation, there may be few or no legal remedies available for collecting the amounts due.

Risks of Foreign Investing. Investments in foreign securities present special risks and considerations not usually associated with investments in U.S. securities. Those may include:

• a lack of public information about foreign issuers;

• lower trading volume and less liquidity in foreign securities markets than in U.S. markets;

• greater price volatility in foreign markets than in U.S. markets;

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

• a lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards in foreign countries compared to those applicable to U.S. issuers;

• fluctuations in the value of foreign investments due to changes in currency rates;

• the expense of currency exchange transactions;

• greater difficulties in pricing securities in foreign markets;

• foreign government restrictions on investments by U.S. and other non-local entities;

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

• increased risks of delays in clearance and settlement of portfolio transactions;

• unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and some foreign economies;

• greater difficulty in commencing and pursuing lawsuits or other legal remedies;

• less regulation of foreign banks and securities depositories;

• increased risks of loss of certificates for portfolio securities;

• government restrictions on the repatriation of profits or capital or other currency control regulations;

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

• the reduction of income by foreign taxes.

Foreign securities are often denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, which means that changes in the currency exchange rate will affect the value of those securities. Generally, when the U.S. dollar increases in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency is worth less in U.S. dollars and when the U.S. dollar decreases in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency is worth more in U.S. dollars.

In the past, government policies have discouraged investments in certain foreign countries through economic sanctions, trade restrictions, taxation or other government actions. It is possible that such policies could be implemented in the future.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. Emerging and developing markets may offer special opportunities for investing but also have greater risks than more mature foreign markets. Emerging and developing countries may be subject to greater political, social and economic instability; have high inflation rates; experience unfavorable diplomatic developments; have less liquid securities markets with greater price volatility; have additional delays in the settlement of securities transactions; impose exchange controls; impose differential taxes on foreign investors; have a higher possibility of confiscatory taxes or the expropriation of assets; impose restrictions on direct investments or investments in issuers in particular industries; and lack developed legal or regulatory systems.

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.

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

Foreign mutual funds are generally deemed to be PFICs, since nearly all of the income of a mutual fund is passive income. Foreign mutual funds investments may be used to gain exposure to the securities of companies in countries that limit or prohibit direct foreign investment but are subject to limits under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act").

Other types of foreign corporations may also be considered PFICs if their percentage of passive income exceeds the limits described above. Federal tax laws impose severe tax penalties for failure to properly report investment income from PFICs. Although every effort is made to ensure compliance with federal tax reporting requirements for these investments, foreign corporations that are PFICs for federal tax purposes may not always be recognized as such.

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."

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

Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Fund, which could 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 Investments and Investment Strategies

Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. These are companies that have typically been in operation for less than three years, including the operations of any predecessors. Because small, unseasoned companies may be less secure financially, they may rely on borrowing to a greater extent. In that case, they may be more susceptible to adverse changes in interest rates than larger, more established companies. Small, unseasoned companies may also offer fewer products and rely on fewer key personnel. Market or economic developments may have a significant impact on these companies and on the value of their securities. These companies may have a limited trading market and the prices of their securities may be volatile, which could make them difficult to sell in a short period of time at a reasonable price. If other investors that own the security are trading it at the same time, it may have a more significant effect on the security's price than that trading activity would have on the security price of a larger company. These securities may be considered speculative and could increase overall portfolio risks.

Investing in Special Situations. At times, the Fund may seek to benefit from what the portfolio manager considers to be "special situations," such as mergers, reorganizations, restructurings or other unusual events, that are expected to affect a particular issuer. There is a risk that the expected change or event might not occur, which could cause the price of the security to fall, perhaps sharply. In that case, the investment might not produce the expected gains or might cause a loss. This is an aggressive investment technique that may be considered speculative.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. "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 to a purchaser. When-issued and delayed-delivery securities are purchased at a price that is fixed at the time of the transaction with payment and delivery of the security made at a later date. During the period between purchase and settlement, the buyer makes no payment to the issuer and no interest accrues to the buyer from the investment. Purchases on that basis are made when it is anticipated that the price at the time of the transaction is lower than the price will be at the time of delivery.

The securities are subject to change in value from market fluctuations during the period until settlement and the value of the security on the delivery date may be more or less than the purchase price. If the value of the security declines below the purchase price, the transaction may lose money.

The buyer relies on the other party to complete the when-issued or delayed-delivery transactions. The buyer will bear the risk that a security purchased on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may not be issued or may not be delivered as agreed. A failure to do so may cause the loss of an opportunity to obtain the security at an advantageous price or yield.

When-issued and delayed-delivery transactions can be used as a defensive technique to hedge against anticipated changes in interest rates and prices. For instance, if rising interest rates or falling prices are anticipated, a portfolio security may be sold on a delayed-delivery basis to attempt to limit exposure to those occurrences. In periods of falling interest rates and rising prices, a purchase of securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis may be used to obtain the benefit of currently higher cash yields.

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

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

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.

Rights and Warrants. Rights and warrants may be purchased directly or may be acquired as part of other securities. Warrants are options to purchase equity securities at a specific price during a specific period of time. The price of a warrant does not necessarily move parallel to the price of the underlying security and is generally more volatile than the price of the underlying security. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a shorter duration. The market for rights or warrants may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer.

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

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements. Repurchase agreements may be acquired for temporary defensive purposes, to maintain liquidity to meet anticipated share redemptions, pending the investment of the proceeds from sales of shares, or pending the settlement of portfolio securities transactions. In a repurchase transaction, the purchaser 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. Vendors must meet credit requirements set by the Manager from time to time.

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

Repurchase agreements are considered "loans" under the Investment Company Act and are collateralized by the underlying security. 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 repurchase price on the delivery date, there may be costs incurred in disposing of the collateral and losses if there is a delay in the 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 (the "SEC"), the Fund, along with the affiliated entities managed by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint repurchase agreement accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements secured by U.S. Government securities. Securities 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.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may engage in reverse repurchase agreements.  A reverse repurchase agreement is the sale of an underlying debt obligation and the simultaneous agreement to repurchase it at an agreed-upon price and date. These transactions involve the risk that the market value of the securities sold under a reverse repurchase agreement could decline below the cost of the obligation to repurchase them. The Fund will identify liquid assets on its books to cover its obligations under reverse repurchase agreements, including interest, until payment is made to the seller. These agreements are considered borrowings and are subject to the asset coverage requirement under policies on borrowing.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Generally, an illiquid asset is an asset that cannot be sold or disposed of in the ordinary course of business within seven days at approximately the price at which it has been valued. Under the policies and procedures established by the Board, the Manager determines the liquidity of portfolio investments. The Manager monitors holdings of illiquid and restricted securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity. Among the types of illiquid securities are repurchase agreements maturing in more than seven days.

Restricted securities acquired through private placements have contractual restrictions on their public resale that might limit the ability to value or to dispose of the securities and might lower the price that could be realized on a sale. To sell a restricted security that is not registered under applicable securities laws, the securities might need to be registered. The expense of registering restricted securities may be negotiated with the issuer at the time of purchase. If the securities must be registered in order to be sold, a significant period may elapse between the time the decision is made to sell the security and the time the security is registered. There is a risk of downward price fluctuation during that period.

Limitations that apply to purchases of restricted securities do not limit purchases of restricted securities that are eligible for sale to qualified institutional buyers 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 the securities and the availability of reliable pricing information, among other factors. If there is a lack of trading interest in a particular Rule 144A security, holdings of that security may be considered to be illiquid.

Loan Participation Interests. The Fund may invest in loan 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.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. Securities lending pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the "Securities Lending Agreement") with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs"), may be used to attempt to increase income. Loans of portfolio securities are subject to the restrictions stated in the Prospectus and must comply with all applicable regulations and with the Fund 's Securities Lending Procedures adopted by the Board. The terms of any loans must also meet applicable tests under the Internal Revenue Code.

There are certain risks in connection with securities lending, including possible delays in receiving additional collateral to secure a loan, or a delay or expenses in recovery of the loaned securities. Goldman Sachs has agreed, in general, to guarantee the obligations of borrowers to return loaned securities and to be responsible for certain expenses relating to securities lending. Under the Securities Lending Agreement, the Fund 's securities lending procedures and applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the Fund must receive collateral from the borrower consisting of cash, bank letters of credit or securities of the U.S. Government (or its agencies or instrumentalities). On each business day, the amount of collateral that the Fund has received must at least equal the value of the loaned securities. If the Fund receives cash collateral from the borrower, the Manager, in its capacity as the Fund's collateral administrator, may invest that cash in certain high quality, short-term investments, including in money market funds advised by the Manager. The Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of such money market funds, including the advisory fee payable to the Manager or its affiliate as adviser to such funds. The Manager may charge a collateral administration fee of 0.08% on the value of cash collateral invested in other securities. All of the Fund's collateral investments must comply with its securities lending procedures. The Fund will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including the risk that the Fund may lose money on the investment or may fail to earn sufficient income to meet its obligations to the borrower.

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

Borrowing and Leverage. The Fund may not borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption from the Act that applies to the Fund, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time. Currently, under the Investment Company Act, a mutual fund may borrow only from banks (for other than emergency purposes) and 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, except that it may also borrow up to 5% of its total assets for temporary or emergency purposes from any lender. Under the Investment Company Act, there is a rebuttable presumption that a loan is temporary if it is repaid within 60 days and not extended or renewed.

When the Fund borrows, it segregates or identifies securities on its books equal to 300% of the amount borrowed to cover its obligation to repay the loan. If the value of the Fund's assets fail to meet this 300% asset coverage requirement, it will reduce its borrowings 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.

When the Fund invests borrowed money in portfolio securities, it is using a speculative investment technique known as "leverage." If the Fund does borrow, its expenses may be greater than comparable funds that do not borrow. The Fund will pay interest on loans, and that interest expense may raise the overall expenses of the Fund and reduce its returns. In the case of borrowing for leverage, the interest paid on a loan might be more (or less) than the yield on the securities purchased with the loan proceeds. Additionally, the use of leverage may make the Fund's share prices more sensitive to interest rate changes and thus might cause the Fund's net asset value per share to fluctuate more than that of funds that do not borrow.

Derivatives and Hedging. Derivative instruments may be used for liquidity, to seek income or for hedging purposes. Some of the types of derivative instruments and hedging strategies the Fund may use are:

• futures contracts;

• puts;

• covered calls; and

• options

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:

• sell futures contracts,

• buy puts on such futures or on securities, or

• 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:

• 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 ("stock index futures"), (2) foreign currencies ("forward contracts"), (3) an individual stock ("single stock futures"), or (4) commodities ("commodity futures").

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.

Stock Index Futures. A broadly-based stock index is used as the basis for trading stock index futures. In some cases an index may be based on stocks of issuers in a particular industry or group of industries. The seller of a stock index is obligated to pay cash to settle the transaction, based on the fluctuation of the index's value in response to the changes in the relative values of the underlying stocks that are included in the index. A stock index cannot be purchased or sold directly.

Forward Contracts. Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange contracts that are used to buy or sell foreign currency for future delivery at a fixed price. They are discussed below in the section "Buying and Selling Options on Foreign Currencies."

Single Stock Futures. A single stock future obligates the seller to deliver cash or a specified equity security to settle the transaction. Either party may also enter into an offsetting contract to close out the position. Single stock futures trade on a very limited number of exchanges, and contracts are typically not transferable between the exchanges.

Commodity Futures. 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 include gold, platinum and silver. The Fund can 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.

Put and Call Options.  Put options (sometimes referred to as "puts") give the holder the right to sell an asset for an agreed-upon price. Call options (sometimes referred to as "calls") give the holder the right to buy an asset at an agreed-upon price.

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.

Selling Covered Call Options.  If the Fund sells ("writes") a call option, it must be "covered." That means that while the call option is outstanding, the Fund must either own the security subject to the call, or, for certain types of call options, identify liquid assets on its books that would enable it to fulfill its obligations if the option were exercised.

A call option on a security is an agreement to sell an underlying security to the call purchaser at a fixed price (the "exercise price") regardless of changes in the market price of that security during a call period of usually not more than nine months. Call options are sold for a cash payment (a premium). The exercise price is usually higher than the price of the security at the time the call is sold. The seller bears the risk that the price of the underlying security may increase during the call period, requiring it to sell the security for less than the market value at the time. That risk may be offset to some extent by the premium the seller receives. If the market value of the security does not rise above the exercise price during the call period, the call generally will not be exercised. In that case the seller retains the underlying security and realizes a profit from the cash premium it received. Any such profits are considered short-term capital gains for federal income tax purposes and are taxable as ordinary income when distributed to shareholders.

A call on an index is also sold for a cash premium. If the buyer exercises an index call option, the seller is required to pay an amount equal to the difference between the market value of the index and the exercise price, multiplied by a specified factor. If the value of the underlying index does not rise above the call price, it is unlikely that the call will be exercised. In that case the seller would keep the cash premium without being obligated to make any payments to the purchaser of the call.

A custodian bank, or a securities depository acting for the custodian bank, may act through the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC") as the escrow agent for securities that are subject to a call option. The OCC will only release those securities when the call option expires or when the seller enters into a closing transaction. No margin is required for those transactions.

When the Fund sells an over-the-counter ("OTC") call option, it will typically enter into an arrangement with a 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 amount that 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 an OTC call it has written, the Fund can purchase a corresponding call in a "closing purchase transaction." 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 will realize a profit or loss, depending upon whether the premium received on the call is more or less than the amount of the option transaction costs and 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 both 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 and are taxable as ordinary income when distributed by the Fund.

A call on a futures contract may be sold without owning the futures contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at the time the call must be covered by identifying an equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets. If the value of the segregated assets drops below 100% of the current value of the future, additional liquid assets must be identified. Because of this requirement, in no circumstances would an exercise notice as to that future require delivery on a futures contract. It would simply create a short futures position, which is permitted by applicable hedging policies.

Selling Put Options. A put option on a security gives the purchaser the right, during the option period, to sell the security to the seller at the exercise price. When selling (writing) a put option on a security, the option must be covered by identifying liquid assets with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the underlying security, to secure the obligation. In that case the Fund forgoes the opportunity to invest, sell or write calls against the identified assets.

During the option period, the seller is obligated to buy the underlying investment at the exercise price even if the market value of the investment falls below that price. The seller has no control over when it may be required to purchase the underlying security, since it may be exercised at any time prior to the expiration of the put option. If, during the option period, the price of the underlying investment remains higher than the exercise price, it is unlikely that a put option would be exercised. If a put option is not exercised, the seller would realize a gain of the amount of the premium received less the transaction costs incurred. If the put is exercised, the exercise price will usually exceed the market value of the underlying investment at that time. In that case, the seller would incur a loss. If the underlying investment is resold at that time, the loss would be equal to the exercise price and any transaction costs minus the amount of the premium received and the amount the seller received from the resale of the underlying investment. Any profits from writing put options are considered short-term capital gains for federal tax purposes, and are taxable as ordinary income when distributed to shareholders.

Purchasing Put Options. A put on securities or futures may be purchased to attempt to protect against a decline (below the exercise price) in the value of the underlying investment. The purchaser pays a premium for the right to sell the underlying investment at a fixed exercise price during the put period. If the market price of the underlying investment remains above or equal to the exercise price, the put will generally not be exercised or resold and will become worthless on the expiration date. In that case the purchaser will have lost the amount it paid as a premium and not realized any benefit from the right to sell the underlying investment. If the purchaser resells a put prior to its expiration date, it may or may not realize a profit on that sale.

A put may also be purchased on an investment the buyer does not own. That would permit the purchaser to resell the put or to buy the underlying investment and sell it at the exercise price. If the market price of the underlying investment remains above or equal to the exercise price, the put would generally not be exercised and would become worthless on its expiration date.

Purchasing Call Options. A call option may be purchased to seek to benefit from an anticipated rise in a particular security or in the securities market. The purchaser pays a premium for a call option. The purchaser then has the right to buy the underlying investment during the call period at a fixed exercise price. The purchaser benefits only if, during the call period, the market price of the underlying investment rises above the total amount of the call price plus the transaction costs and the premium paid for the call or if the call option is resold at a profit. If the purchaser does not exercise the call option or resell it (whether or not at a profit), the option becomes worthless on its expiration date. In that case the purchaser will have lost the amount it paid as a premium and not realized any gain on the transaction.

Settlement of a call on an index is in cash rather than by delivery of the underlying investment. Gain or loss on the transaction would depend on changes to the prices of the securities that make up the index.

Buying and Selling Options on Foreign Currencies. Put and call options on foreign currencies include puts and calls that trade on a securities or commodities exchange or in the over-the-counter markets or that are quoted by major recognized dealers in such options. 

If the value of a foreign currency rises against the U.S. dollar, the cost of securities denominated in that currency increases. The increased cost of those securities may be partially offset by purchasing calls or selling puts on the foreign currency. If the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar falls, the dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in that currency would decline. That decline might be partially offset by selling calls or purchasing puts on the foreign currency. If the currency rate fluctuates in an adverse direction from the option position, however, the option premium payments and transaction costs would have been incurred without a corresponding benefit.

A call on a foreign currency could be sold to provide a hedge against a decline in the U.S. dollar value of a security denominated in that currency or in a different currency (known as a "crosshedging" strategy).  A call on a foreign currency is "covered" if the seller 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 upon conversion or exchange of other foreign currency held in its portfolio. The seller may also cover the option by maintaining identified cash, U.S. Government securities or other liquid, high-grade debt securities in an amount equal to the exercise price of the option.

Forward Contracts. Foreign currency futures contracts are known as "forward contracts." They are used to buy or sell foreign currency for future delivery at a fixed price.  They are used 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 value of the U.S. dollar against a foreign currency. 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. Forward contracts are traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly among currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.

Forward Contract Strategies. Under a forward contract, the Fund agrees to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which 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. The costs of engaging in forward contracts varies depending on factors such as the currencies involved, the length of the contract period and the market conditions then prevailing.

A forward contract might be used to provide for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency, or for dividend payments that may be received in a foreign currency. This is called a "transaction hedge." The transaction hedge will protect against a loss from an adverse change in the currency exchange rates during the period between the date on which a security is purchased or sold or on which a payment is declared, and the date on which the payments are made or received. The use of forward contracts does not eliminate the risk of fluctuations in the prices of the underlying securities, but it does fix a rate of exchange in advance.

If it is anticipated that a foreign currency might suffer a substantial decline against the U.S. dollar, forward contracts could be used to lock in the U.S. dollar value of portfolio positions. This is called a "position hedge." To try to protect against a substantial decline of the U.S. dollar against a foreign currency, a forward contract to buy that foreign currency for a fixed dollar amount could be used. Alternatively, the Fund could enter into a forward contract to sell a different foreign currency the Fund believes will fall whenever there is a decline in the U.S. dollar value of the currency in which portfolio securities are denominated.

In some cases, at or before the maturity of a forward contract, the Fund might sell a portfolio security and use the sale proceeds to make delivery of the currency. 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 exceeds the amount of foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver, the Fund might have to sell some of the foreign currency on the spot market. There would be additional transaction costs for the spot market transactions in those cases.

Alternatively, the contractual obligation to deliver the currency may be offset by purchasing a second contract to obtain, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the currency as the currency obligation. Similarly, a forward contract purchase obligation may be closed out by entering into a second contract to sell the same amount of the same currency on the maturity date of the first contract. The gain or loss would be realized 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 the offsetting contract.

Forward Contract Limitations. 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, the Fund can 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. As one alternative, the Fund could 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 could 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 contract price. The Fund could also cover its short positions by identifying assets on its books equal to the aggregate amount of the Fund's commitment under forward contracts or the excess amount of those obligations.

Forward Contract Risks. The projection of short-term currency market movements is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. 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 a forward contract is entered into and the date it is sold. Forward contracts involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, causing losses on those contracts and additional transaction costs. The use of forward contracts might reduce performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency prices. 

Forward Contract Costs. Because forward contracts are usually entered into on a principal basis, no brokerage fees or commissions are involved. Foreign exchange dealers do 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 at one rate, while offering a lower rate for purchasing that currency. Because these contracts are not traded on an exchange, the credit and performance risk of the counterparty must also be evaluated.

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.

Regulatory Aspects of Derivatives and Hedging Instruments. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission has eliminated limitations on futures trading by certain regulated entities, including registered investment companies. Consequently, registered investment companies may engage in unlimited futures transactions and options thereon by claiming an exclusion from regulation as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act.

Options transactions 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 purchased, sold or held through one or more different exchanges or are held in one or more accounts or through one or more brokers. Thus, the number of options that can be sold by an investment company advised by the Manager may be affected by options written or held by other investment companies advised by the Manager or affiliated entities. The exchanges also impose position limits on futures transactions. An exchange may order the liquidation of positions found to be in violation of those limits and may impose certain other sanctions.

Under SEC staff interpretations regarding applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, when a registered investment company purchases a future, it must identify cash or other liquid assets at its custodian bank in an amount equal to the purchase price of the future, less the margin deposit applicable to it.

Tax Aspects of Certain Derivatives and Hedging Instruments. Futures contracts, non-equity options and certain foreign currency exchange contracts 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 Internal Revenue 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 mark-to-market treatment.

Certain forward contracts may result in "straddles" for federal income tax purposes. The straddle rules may affect the character and timing of gains (or losses) recognized on those 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. 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 interest or other receivables are accrued or expenses or other liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are accrued 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 investment income available for distribution to its shareholders.

Investing in Other Investment Companies. Investments in the securities of other investment companies can include open-end funds, closed-end funds, business development companies and unit investment trusts. Exchange-traded funds, which are typically open-end funds or unit investment trusts, are listed on a stock exchange. These investments may provide a way to gain exposure to segments of the equity or fixed-income markets represented by the exchange-traded fund's portfolio at times when it is not possible to buy those portfolio securities directly.

Investing in another investment company may involve paying a substantial premium above the value of that investment company's portfolio securities. The Fund does not intend to invest in other investment companies unless the Manager believes that the potential benefits of an 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 company's expenses, including its advisory and administration expenses.

Investments in other investment companies are subject to limits set forth in the Investment Company Act of 1940, including the limitations on reliance on sub-paragraph (F) or (G) of section 12(d)(1).

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. In times of unstable or adverse market, economic or political conditions, or if the Manager believes it is otherwise appropriate to reduce holdings in the Fund's principal investments, the Fund can invest in other types of securities for defensive purposes. It can also purchase these types of securities for liquidity purposes to meet cash needs due to the redemption of shares, or to hold while waiting to reinvest cash received from the sale of other portfolio securities.

These temporary defensive investments can include: (i) obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities; (ii) commercial paper rated in the top two rating categories of an established nationally recognized statistical rating organization; (iii) certificates of deposit or bankers' acceptances of domestic banks with assets of $1 billion or more; (iv) any of the foregoing securities that mature in one year or less (generally known as "cash equivalents"); (v) other short-term corporate debt obligations rated investment grade (rated at least Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or at least BBB by Standard & Poor's Corporation, or a comparable rating by another nationally recognized statistical rating organization); (vi) repurchase agreements; and (vii) shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Investment Restrictions

Fundamental Policies. The Fund has adopted policies and restrictions to govern its investments. Under the Investment Company Act, fundamental policies are those policies that that can be changed only by the vote of a "majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting securities, which is defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

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

• more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other policies described in the Prospectus or this SAI 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 SAI, as appropriate.  The Fund's most significant investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

Other Fundamental Investment Restrictions. The following investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund.

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

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

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

• The Fund cannot invest in real estate, physical commodities or commodity contracts, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

• The Fund may not underwrite securities issued by others, except to the extent that a Fund may be considered an underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, when reselling securities held in its own portfolio.

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

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

Non-Fundamental Restrictions. The Fund has the following additional operating policies that are not "fundamental" and can be changed by the Board without shareholder approval.

• 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.

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

• 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.

• With respect to the Fund's non-fundamental policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings used for investment purposes) in equity securities of small- and mid-cap domestic and foreign issuers, the Fund will provide shareholders at least 60 days' prior notice of any change in such policy as required by the Investment Company Act.

Unless the Prospectus or this SAI states that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time the Fund makes an investment. That means the Fund is not required to sell securities to meet the percentage limits if the value of the investment increases in proportion to the size of the Fund. Percentage limits on borrowing and investments in illiquid securities apply on an ongoing basis.

For purposes of the Fund's policy not to concentrate its investments, described above, the Fund has adopted an industry classification that is not a fundamental policy.

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings

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 processes, the need for transparency must be balanced against the risk that third parties who gain access to the 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 securities that a portfolio manager is trading on the Fund's behalf.

The Fund, the Manager, the Distributor and the Transfer Agent have therefore adopted policies and procedures regarding the dissemination of information about the Fund's portfolio holdings by employees, officers and directors or trustees of the Fund, the Manager, the Distributor and the Transfer Agent. These policies are designed to assure that non-public information about the Fund's portfolio securities holdings is distributed only for a legitimate business purpose, and is done in a manner that (a) conforms to applicable laws and regulations and (b) is designed to prevent that information from being used in a way that could negatively affect the Fund's investment program or enable third parties to use that information in a manner that is harmful to the Fund. It is a violation of the Code of Ethics for any covered person to release holdings in contravention of the portfolio holdings disclosure policies and procedures adopted by the Fund.

Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Policies. The Fund, the Manager, the Distributor and the Transfer Agent and their affiliates and subsidiaries, employees, officers, and directors or trustees, 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 Manager or any affiliated person of the Manager) in connection with the disclosure of the Fund's non-public portfolio holdings. The receipt of investment advisory fees or other fees and compensation paid to the Manager and its subsidiaries pursuant to agreements approved by the Fund's Board shall not be deemed to be "compensation" or "consideration" for these purposes. Until publicly disclosed, the Fund's portfolio holdings are proprietary, confidential business information. After they are publicly disclosed, the Fund's portfolio holdings may be released in any appropriate manner.

• Public Disclosure. The Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the close of each of the Fund's fiscal quarters, either in its annual or semi-annual report to shareholders or in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q. Those documents are publicly available at the SEC. In addition, the top 20 month-end securities holdings (based on invested assets), listed by security or by issuer, may be posted on the OppenheimerFunds' website (at www.oppenheimerfunds.com) with a 15-day delay. The Fund may post a smaller list of holdings (e.g., the top five or top 10 portfolio holdings), or may not post any holdings, if the Manager believes that would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Other general information about the Fund's portfolio investments, such as portfolio composition by asset class, industry, country, currency, credit rating or maturity, may also be publicly disclosed with a 15-day delay.

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

• Employees of the Fund's Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent who need to have access to such information (as determined by senior officers of such entities);

• The Fund's independent registered public accounting firm;

• Members of the Fund's Board and the Board's legal counsel;

• The Fund's custodian bank;

• A proxy voting service designated by the Fund and its Board;

• Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper, Inc. and Morningstar, Inc.);

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

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

Month-end lists of the Fund's complete portfolio holdings may be disclosed for legitimate business reasons, no sooner than 30 days after the relevant month end, pursuant to special requests and under limited circumstances discussed below, provided that:

• The third-party recipient must first submit a request for release of Fund portfolio holdings, explaining the business reason for the request;

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

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

Portfolio holdings information of the Fund may be provided, under limited circumstances, to brokers or dealers with whom the Fund trades and entities that provide investment coverage or analytical information regarding the Fund's portfolio, provided that there is a legitimate investment reason for providing the information to the broker, dealer or other entity. Month-end portfolio holdings information may, under this procedure, be provided to vendors providing research information 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 portfolio manager's investment process for the Fund. Any third party receiving such information must first sign the Manager's portfolio holdings non-disclosure agreement as a pre-condition to receiving this information.

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

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

• Brokers and dealers to obtain bids or bid and asked prices (if securities held by the Fund are not priced by the fund's regular pricing services);

• Dealers to obtain price quotations where the fund is not identified as the owner.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Any permitted release of otherwise non-public portfolio holdings information must be in accordance with the then-current policy on approved methods for communicating confidential information.

The Chief Compliance Officer (the "CCO") of the Fund and the Manager, Distributor, and Transfer Agent shall oversee the compliance by the Manager, Distributor, Transfer Agent, and their personnel with these policies and procedures. The CCO reports to the Fund's Board any material violation of these policies and procedures during the previous calendar quarter and makes recommendations to the Board as to any amendments that the CCO believes are necessary and desirable to carry out or improve these policies and procedures.

The Manager and 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

Organization and History. The Fund, a series of Oppenheimer Quest for Value Funds (referred to as the "Trust"), is an open-end, diversified management investment company with an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial interest. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust in April 1987. Prior to June 2005, the Fund's name was "Oppenheimer Small Cap Value Fund." Prior to March 2001, the Fund's name was "Oppenheimer Quest Small Cap Fund." Prior to May 2000, the Fund's name was "Oppenheimer Quest Small Cap Value Fund."

Classes of Shares. The Fund's Board of Trustees (the "Board") is authorized, without shareholder approval, to:

• create new series and classes of shares;

• reclassify unissued shares into additional series and classes; and

• 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.

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 certain retirement plans may purchase Class N shares. Each class of shares:

• has its own dividends and distributions;

• pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes;

• will generally have a different net asset value;

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

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

Each share of each class:

• represents an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of each other share of the same class;

• is freely transferable;

• has one vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally;

• may be voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings; and

• does not have cumulative voting rights, preemptive rights or subscription rights.

Class Y Share Availability.

• Class Y shares are offered to fee-based clients of dealers that have a special agreement with the Distributor to offer these shares, and to certain institutional investors who have a special agreement with the Distributor.

• Class A to Class Y Voluntary Conversion. For shareholders who currently hold Class A shares but are authorized to purchase Class Y shares, those shareholders can convert existing Class A shares to Class Y shares of the same fund either through their dealer who has a special agreement with the Distributor or by submitting written instructions to the Transfer Agent. Under current interpretations of applicable federal income tax law by the Internal Revenue Service, this voluntary conversion of Class A to Class Y shares is not treated as a taxable event. If those laws or the IRS interpretation of those laws should change, this voluntary conversion feature may be suspended.

Shareholder and Trustee Liability. The Fund's Declaration of Trust contains an express disclaimer of shareholder and 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. 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. Although Massachusetts law permits a shareholder of a business trust (such as the Fund) to be held personally liable as a "partner" under certain circumstances, 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.

Shareholder Meetings.  As a Massachusetts business trust, the Fund is not required to hold regular annual meetings of shareholders and does not plan to do so. The Fund may hold shareholder meetings from time to time, however, on important matters or when required to do so by the Investment Company Act, or other applicable law.

Shareholders have the right, upon a vote or declaration in writing of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Fund, to remove a Trustee or to take other action described in the Fund's Declaration of Trust. The Trustees will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal of a Trustee upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of its outstanding shares.

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

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 and federal law. The Board is led by Brian F. Wruble, an independent trustee, who is not an "interested person" of the Fund, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Board meets periodically throughout the year to oversee the Fund's activities, review its performance, oversee the potential conflicts that could affect of the Fund, and review the actions of the Manager. The Board has an Audit Committee, a Regulatory & Oversight Committee and a Governance Committee. Each Committee is comprised solely of Trustees who are not "interested persons" under the Investment Company Act (the "Independent Trustees"). Mr. Wruble's practice is to attend all meetings of each of the three Committees of the board where he participates in deliberation but does not have a vote.

During the Fund's fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, the Audit Committee held 4 meetings, the Regulatory & Oversight Committee held 1 meeting and the Governance Committee held 1 meeting.

The members of the Audit Committee are David K. Downes (Chairman), Phillip A. Griffiths, Mary F. Miller, Joseph M. Wikler and Peter I. Wold. The Audit Committee selects the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm (also referred to as the "independent Auditors"). Other main functions of the Audit Committee outlined in the Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results of financial statement audits and the audit fees charged; (ii) reviewing reports from the Fund's independent Auditors regarding the Fund's internal accounting procedures and controls; (iii) reviewing reports from the Manager's Internal Audit Department; (iv) maintaining a separate line of communication between the Fund's independent Auditors and the Independent Trustees/Directors; (v) reviewing the independence of the Fund's independent Auditors; and (vi) approving in advance the provision of any audit or non-audit services by the Fund's independent Auditors, including tax services, that are not prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to the Fund, the Manager and certain affiliates of the Manager. The Audit Committee also reviews reports concerning the valuation of certain investments.

The members of the Regulatory & Oversight Committee are Matthew P. Fink (Chairman), David K. Downes, Phillip A. Griffiths, Joel W. Motley, Mary Ann Tynan and Joseph M. Wikler. The Regulatory & Oversight Committee evaluates and reports to the Board on the Fund's contractual arrangements, including the Investment Advisory and Distribution Agreements, transfer agency and shareholder service agreements and custodian agreements as well as the policies and procedures adopted by the Fund to comply with the Investment Company Act and other applicable law. The Regulatory & Oversight Committee also reviews reports from the Manager's Risk Management Department and Chief Compliance Officer among other duties as set forth in the Regulatory & Oversight Committee's Charter. These reports, and others concerning investment, operational and other risks to the Funds are shared with, and discussed by, the full Board.

The members of the Governance Committee are Joel W. Motley (Chairman), Matthew P. Fink, Mary F. Miller, Mary Ann Tynan and Peter I. Wold. The Governance Committee reviews the Fund's governance guidelines, the adequacy of the Fund's Codes of Ethics, and develops qualification criteria for Board members consistent with the Fund's governance guidelines, provides the Board with recommendations for voting portfolio securities held by the Fund, monitors the Fund's proxy voting, and coordinates with organizations representing the independent directors of mutual funds among other duties set forth in the Governance Committee's Charter.

The Governance Committee's functions also include the nomination of Trustees/Directors, including Independent Trustees/Directors, for election to the Board. The full Board elects new Trustees/Directors except for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

The Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by Independent Trustees/Directors or recommended by any other Board members including Board members affiliated with the Fund's Manager. The Governance Committee may consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and its affiliates in selecting nominees, but need not do so. Upon Board approval, the Governance Committee may retain an executive search firm to assist in screening potential candidates and may also use the services of legal, financial, or other external counsel that it deems necessary or desirable in the screening process. To date, the Governance Committee has been able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified candidates. However, under the current policy of the Board, if the Board determines that a vacancy exists or is likely to exist, the Governance Committee will include candidates recommended by the Fund's shareholders in its consideration of nominees.

Shareholders wishing to submit a nominee for election to the Board may do so by mailing their submission to the offices of OppenheimerFunds, Inc., Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008, to the attention of the Board of Trustees/Directors of the applicable Fund, c/o the Secretary of the Fund. Submissions should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following: (1) the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended; (2) a statement concerning whether the person is an "interested person" as defined in the Investment Company Act; (3) any other information that the Fund would be required to include in a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and (4) the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and, if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that person held Fund shares. Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the Manager) would be deemed an "interested person" under the Investment Company Act. In addition, certain other relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds' outside legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an "interested person."

The Governance Committee has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by a nominee. In evaluating nominees, the Governance Committee considers, among other things, an individual's background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an "interested person" as defined in the Investment Company Act; and whether the individual would be deemed an "audit committee financial expert" within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. The Governance Committee also considers whether the individual's background, skills, and experience will complement, and add to the diversity of, the background, skills, and experience of other Trustees/Directors, and will contribute to the Board's deliberations. There is no difference in the manner in which the Governance Committee evaluates a nominee based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder. Candidates are expected to provide a mix of attributes, experience, perspective and skills necessary to effectively advance the interests of shareholders.

Below is a brief discussion of the specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills of each Board member that led the Board to conclude that he or she should serve as a Trustee/Director of the Fund.

Each independent trustee/director has served on the Board for the number of years listed below, during the course of which he or she has become familiar with the Fund's (and other Oppenheimer funds') financial, accounting, regulatory and investment matters and has contributed to the Board's deliberations. Each Trustee's/Director's outside professional experience is outlined in the table of Biographical Information, below.

The Governance Committee's functions also include the nomination of Trustees/Directors, including Independent Trustees/Directors, for election to the Board. The full Board elects new Trustees/Directors except for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

The Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by Independent Trustees/Directors or recommended by any other Board members including Board members affiliated with the Fund's Manager. The Governance Committee may consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and its affiliates in selecting nominees, but need not do so. Upon Board approval, the Governance Committee may retain an executive search firm to assist in screening potential candidates and may also use the services of legal, financial, or other external counsel that it deems necessary or desirable in the screening process. To date, the Governance Committee has been able to identify from its own resources an ample number of qualified candidates. However, under the current policy of the Board, if the Board determines that a vacancy exists or is likely to exist, the Governance Committee will include candidates recommended by the Fund's shareholders in its consideration of nominees.

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

As of February 5, 2010, the Trustees and officers of the Fund, as a group, owned less than 1% of any class of shares of the Fund beneficially or of record. The foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares held of record by an employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than the shares beneficially owned under that plan by the officers of the Fund. In addition, none of the Independent Trustees (nor any of their immediate family members) owns securities of either the Manager or the Distributor or of any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager or the Distributor.

Retirement Plan for Trustees. The New York Board Funds adopted a retirement plan that provided for payments to retired Independent Trustees of 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 needed to serve as director or trustee for any of the New York Board Funds for at least seven years to be eligible for retirement plan benefits and to serve for at least 15 years to be eligible for the maximum benefit. The Board discontinued the retirement plan with respect to new accruals as of December 31, 2006 (the "Freeze Date"). Each Trustee that continued to serve on the Board of any of the New York Board Funds after the Freeze Date (each such Trustee a "Continuing Board Member") was able to elect to have his accrued benefit as of that date (i.e., an amount equivalent to the actuarial present value of his benefit under the retirement plan as of the Freeze Date) (i) paid at once or over time, (ii) rolled into the Compensation Deferral Plan described below, or (iii) in the case of Continuing Board Members having at least seven years of service as of the Freeze Date paid in the form of an annual benefit or joint and survivor annual benefit. The Board determined to freeze the retirement plan after considering a recent trend among corporate boards of directors to forego retirement plan payments in favor of current compensation.

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

Deferral of the Trustees' fees under the plan will not materially affect a Fund's assets, liabilities or net income per share. The plan will not obligate a 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, a 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 compensation account.

Major Shareholders. As of February 5, 2010 the only persons or entities who owned of record, or who were known by the Fund to own beneficially, 5% or more of any class of the Fund's outstanding shares were:

The Manager

The Manager is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a holding company primarily owned by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, a global, diversified insurance and financial services company.

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 portfolio managers and certain other employees ("covered persons") that could 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/or 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. It can be viewed as part of the Fund's registration statement on the SEC's EDGAR database at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C.

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

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

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

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

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

• The Fund generally supports proposals to allow shareholders the ability to call special meetings.

• The Fund generally supports proposals to allow or make easier shareholder action by written consent.

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

• The Fund generally votes against proposals to classify a board.

• The Fund generally supports proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.

• The Fund generally opposes re-pricing of stock options without shareholder approval.

• The Fund generally supports proposals to require majority voting for the election of directors.

• The Fund generally supports proposals seeking additional disclosure of executive and director pay information.

• The Fund generally supports proposals seeking disclosure regarding the company's, board's or committee's use of compensation consultants.

• The Fund generally supports "pay-for-performance" proposals that align a significant portion of total compensation of senior executives to company performance.

• The Fund generally supports having shareholder votes on poison pills.

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

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

The Fund is required to file Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of each year. The Fund's Form N-PX filing 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 its day-to-day business. The portfolio manager of the Fund is employed by the Manager and is principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. Other members of the Manager's Equity Portfolio Department provide the portfolio manager with counsel and support in managing the Fund's portfolio.

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

The Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the advisory agreement. The advisory agreement lists examples of expenses paid by the Fund. The major categories relate to interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, fees to certain Directors/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:

Fiscal Year ended 10/31	Management Fee Paid to OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
2007	$28,660,705
2008	$24,811,907
2009	$13,993,115

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

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

Pending Litigation. Since 2009, a number of lawsuits were filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds ("Defendant Funds") advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund's investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

In 2009, lawsuits were filed in state court against the Manager and its subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

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

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

Portfolio Manager. The Fund is managed by John Damian (the "Portfolio Manager") who is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments.

• Other Accounts Managed. In addition to managing the Fund's investment portfolio, Mr. Damian also manages other investment portfolios and accounts on behalf of the Manager or its affiliates. The following table provides information regarding those other portfolios and accounts as of October 31, 2009. No portfolio or account has an advisory fee based on performance.

Portfolio Manager	Registered Investment Companies Managed	Total Assets in Registered Investment Companies Managed1	Other Pooled Investment Vehicles Managed	Total Assets in Other Pooled Investment Vehicles Managed1	Other Accounts Managed	Total Assets in Other Accounts Managed2
John Damian	12	$5,536	2	$105	1	$122

1. In millions.

2. Does not include personal accounts of the portfolio manager and his family, which are subject to the Code of Ethics.

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

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

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

The Lipper benchmark used with respect to the Fund is Lipper - Mid-Cap Value Funds.

•  Ownership of Fund Shares. As of October 31, 2009, the Portfolio Manager beneficially owned shares of the Fund as follows:

Portfolio Manager	Range of Shares Beneficially Owned in the Fund
John Damian	$100,001-$500,000

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 for that purpose. The advisory agreement authorizes the Manager to employ broker-dealers, including "affiliated brokers," as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act, that the Manager thinks, in its best judgment based on all relevant factors, will implement the policy of the Fund to obtain the "best execution" of the Fund's portfolio transactions. "Best execution" means executing trades in a manner that the total cost or proceeds is the most favorable under the circumstances. Some of the circumstances that may influence this decision are: cost (brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of order, difficulty of order, and the firm's ability to provide prompt and reliable execution.

The Manager need not seek competitive commission bidding. However, the Manager is expected to be aware of the current rates of eligible brokers and to minimize the commissions paid to the extent consistent with the interests and policies of the Fund as established by its Board. The Fund is not required to pay the lowest available commission. 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 both brokerage and research services to the Fund. The commissions paid to those brokers may be higher than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a good faith determination that the commission is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided.

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

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

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 that are available in U.S. markets. Brokerage commissions are paid primarily for transactions in listed securities or for certain fixed-income agency transactions executed 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 accounts advised by the Manager have investment policies similar to those of the Fund. Those other accounts 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. When possible, the Manager tries to combine concurrent orders to purchase or sell the same security by more than one of the accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates. If two or more accounts advised by the Manager purchase the same security on the same day from the same dealer, the transactions under those combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated in accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.

Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act prohibits any fund from compensating a broker or dealer for promoting or selling the fund's shares by (1) directing to that broker or dealer any of the fund's portfolio transactions, or (2) directing any other remuneration to that broker or dealer, such as commissions, mark-ups, mark downs or other fees from the fund's portfolio transactions, that were effected by another broker or dealer (these latter arrangements are considered to be a type of "step-out" transaction). In other words, a fund and its investment adviser cannot use the fund's brokerage for the purpose of rewarding broker-dealers for selling a 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 has approved those procedures) that permit the Fund to execute portfolio securities transactions through 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 investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate brokerage for research services. The research services provided by a particular broker may be useful both to the Fund and to one or more of the other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates. Investment research may be supplied to the Manager by a broker through which trades are placed or by a third party at the instance of the broker.

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

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

The research services provided by brokers broaden the scope and supplement the research activities of the Manager. That research provides additional views and comparisons for consideration, and helps the Manager to obtain market information for the valuation of securities that are either held in 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.

During the fiscal years ended October 31, 2007, 2008 and 2009, the Fund paid the total brokerage commissions indicated in the chart below. During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund paid $4,142,058 in commissions to firms that provide brokerage and research services to the Fund with respect to $3,616,841,778 of aggregate portfolio transactions. All such transactions were on a "best execution" basis, as described above. The provision of research services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all such transactions.

2007	$9,952,318
2008	$6,868,265
2009	$4,608,763

* Amounts do not include spreads or commissions on principal transactions on a net trade basis.

Distribution and Service Arrangements

The Distributor. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund, the Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund's 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 ("CDSCs") retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares during the Fund's three most recent fiscal years are shown in the tables below.

Distribution and Service (12b-1) 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, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan. The Independent Trustees are not "interested persons" of the Fund and do not have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the distribution plan or any agreement under the plan, in accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act.

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.

A plan continues in effect from year to year only if the Fund's Board and its Independent Trustees vote annually to approve its continuance at an in person meeting called for that purpose. 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 the Class of shares to which it applies.

The Board and the Independent Trustees must approve all material amendments to a plan. An amendment to materially increase the amount of payments to be made under a plan must also be approved by shareholders of any affected class. Because Class B shares of the Fund automatically convert into Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the shareholders of both Class A and Class B, voting separately by class, must approve a proposed amendment to the Class A plan that would materially increase payments under that plan.

At least quarterly while the plans are in effect, the Treasurer of the Fund will provide the Board with separate written reports on the plans for its review. The reports will 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.

While each plan is in effect, the Independent Trustees of the Fund will select and nominate any other Independent Trustees. This does not prevent the involvement of others in the selection and nomination process as long as the final decision is made by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

No payment will be made to any recipient for any share class unless, during the applicable period, the aggregate net asset value of Fund shares of the class held by the recipient (for itself and its customers) exceeds a minimum amount that may be set by a majority of the Independent Trustees from time to time.

Class A Distribution and Service Plan. 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 (referred to as "recipients") for personal and account maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold Class A shares. Those services may include answering customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in establishing and maintaining Fund accounts, 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 the Fund to reimburse the Distributor at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the Class A average net assets. The Distributor makes payments to recipients periodically at an annual rate of not more than 0.25% of the Class A average net assets held in the accounts of the recipient or it customers.

The Distributor does not receive or retain the service fee for Class A share accounts for which the Distributor is listed as the broker-dealer of record. While the plan permits the Board to authorize payments to the Distributor to reimburse itself for those services, the Board has not yet done so, except with respect to shares purchased prior to March 1, 2007 by certain group retirement plans that were established prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement plans").

Prior to March 1, 2007, the Distributor paid the 0.25% first year service fee for grandfathered retirement plans in advance and retained the service fee paid by the Fund with respect to those shares for the first year. After those shares are held for a year, the Distributor pays the ongoing service fees to recipients on a periodic basis. If those shares were redeemed within the first year after their purchase, the recipient of the service fees on those shares was obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance payment of the fees. If those shares were redeemed within 18 months, they were subject to a CDSC. For Class A shares purchased in grandfathered retirement plans on or after March 1, 2007, the Distributor does not make any payment in advance and does not retain the service fee for the first year and the shares are not subject to a CDSC.

Under the Class A distribution plan, the plan provides for the Fund to pay an asset-based sales charge to the Distributor calculated at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily 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.

For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, payments under the Class A service plan totaled $3,651,329, of which $2,387 was retained by the Distributor under the arrangement described above, regarding grandfathered retirement accounts, including $266,191 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's parent company. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent years. The Distributor may not use payments received under the Class A plan to pay any of its interest expenses, carrying charges, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.

Class B, Class C and Class N Distribution and Service Plans. Under the Class B, Class C and Class N Distribution and Service Plans (each a "Plan" and together the "Plans"), the Fund pays the asset-based sales charge (the "distribution fee") to the Distributor for its services in distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares. The distribution fee allows investors to buy Class B, Class C and Class N shares without a front-end sales charge, while allowing the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares. The Distributor may use the service fees it receives under the Plans to pay recipients for providing services similar to the services provided under the Class A service plan, described above.

Payments under the Plans are made in recognition that the Distributor:

• pays sales concessions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of sale or as an ongoing concession,

• pays the service fees in advance or periodically, as described below,

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

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

• bears the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses (other than those furnished to current shareholders) and certain other distribution expenses,

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

• receives payments under the Plans consistent with the service and distribution fees paid by other non-proprietary funds that charge 12b-1 fees,

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

• may experience increased difficulty selling the Fund's shares if Plan payments were discontinued, because most competitor funds have plans that pay dealers as much or more for distribution services than the amounts currently being paid by the Fund, and

• may not be able to continue providing the same quality of distribution efforts and services, or to obtain such services from brokers and dealers, if Plan payments were discontinued.

Distribution fees on Class B and Class N shares are generally retained by the Distributor. If a dealer has a special agreement with the Distributor, the Distributor may pay the Class B or Class N distribution fees to recipients periodically in lieu of paying the sales concession in advance at the time of purchase. The Distributor retains the distribution fee on Class C shares during the first year and then pays it as an ongoing concession to recipients.

Service fees for the first year after Class B, Class C and Class N shares are purchased are generally paid to recipients in advance. After the first year, the Distributor pays the service fees to recipients periodically. Under the Plans, the Distributor is permitted to retain the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a periodic basis, without payment in advance. If a recipient has a special agreement with the Distributor, the Distributor may pay the Class B, Class C or Class N service fees to recipients periodically in lieu of paying the first year fee in advance. If Class B, Class C or Class N shares are redeemed during the first year after their purchase, a recipient of service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay a pro rata portion of the advance payment to the Distributor. Shares purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advance service fee payment.

Class B, Class C or Class N shares may not be purchased by a new investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating another registered broker-dealer. If a current investor no longer has another broker-dealer of record for an existing account, the Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of record, but solely for the purpose of acting as the investor's agent to purchase the shares. In those cases, the Distributor retains the distribution fees 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.

Each Plan provides for the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the Distributor's distribution expenses for a period are more or less than the amounts paid by the Fund under the relevant Plan. During a calendar year, the Distributor's actual expenses in selling Class B, Class C and Class N shares may be more than the distribution fees paid to the Distributor under the Plans and the CDSC's collected on redeemed shares. Those excess expenses are carried over on the Distributor's books and may be recouped from distribution fees paid by the Fund in future years. However, the Distributor has voluntarily agreed to cap the amount that may be carried over from year to year and recouped for certain categories of expenses at 0.70% of annual gross sales of shares of the Fund. The capped expenses under the Plans are (i) expenses the Distributor has incurred that represent compensation and expenses of its sales personnel and (ii) other direct distribution costs it has incurred, such as sales literature, state registration fees, advertising and prospectuses used to offer Fund shares. If those categories of expenses exceed the capped amount, the Distributor would bear the excess costs. If a Plan were to be terminated by the Fund, the Fund's Board may allow the Fund to continue payments of the distribution fees to the Distributor for its services in distributing shares before the Plan was terminated.

The distribution and service fees under each Plan 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. The distribution and service fees increase the annual Class B and Class C expenses by 1.00% and increase the annual Class N expenses by 0.50% of net assets.

Distribution and Service Fees Paid to the Distributor for the Fiscal Year Ended 10/31/09
Class:	Total Payments Under Plan	Amount Retained by Distributor	Amount Paid to Affiliate	Distributor's Aggregate Unreimbursed Expenses Under Plan	Distributor's Unreimbursed Expenses as % of Net Assets of Class
Class B Plan	$1,233,275	$928,805	$13,451	$0	0.00%
Class C Plan	$2,909,190	$199,037	$44,003	$8,109,362	2.51%
Class N Plan	$961,056	$89,105	$18,765	$4,034,180	1.85%

All payments under the Plans are subject to the limitations imposed by the Conduct Rules of FINRA on payments of distribution and service fees.

Payments to Fund Intermediaries

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

Types of payments to financial intermediaries may include, without limitation, the following:

The Fund, or an investor buying or selling Fund shares may pay:

• an initial front-end sales charge, all or a portion of the which is payable by the Distributor to financial intermediaries (see "About Your Account" in the Prospectus);

• ongoing asset-based distribution and/or service fees (described in the section "About the Fund - Distribution and Service (12b-1) Plans" above);

• shareholder servicing expenses that are paid from Fund assets to reimburse the Manager or the Distributor for Fund expenses they incur for providing omnibus accounting, recordkeeping, networking, sub-transfer agency or other administrative or shareholder services (including retirement plan and 529 plan administrative services fees).

In addition, the Manager or Distributor may, at their discretion, make the following types of payments from their own respective resources, which may include profits the Manager derives from investment advisory fees paid by the Fund. These payments are often referred to as "revenue sharing" payments, and may include:

• Compensation for marketing support, support provided in offering the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds through certain trading platforms and programs, and transaction processing or other services;

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

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

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

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

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

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

• firm support, such as business planning assistance, advertising, or educating a financial intermediary's sales personnel about the Oppenheimer funds and shareholder financial planning needs.

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

Performance of the Fund

Explanation of Performance Calculations. The use of standardized performance calculations enables an investor to compare the Fund's performance to the performance of other funds for the same periods. The Fund's performance data in advertisements must comply with rules of the SEC, which 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. The Fund may use a variety of performance calculations, including "cumulative total return," "average annual total return," "average annual total return at net asset value," and "total return at net asset value." How these types of returns are calculated are described below.

Total Return Information. "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 will differ and are measured separately.

There are different types of "total returns." "Cumulative total return" measures the change in value over the entire period (for example, ten years). "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 the methodology prescribed by the SEC to calculate its standardized total returns.

In calculating the Fund's total returns, the following sales charges are applied unless the returns are shown at "net asset value" as described below:

• 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).

• For Class B shares, the CDSC for the applicable period is deducted: 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% CDSC is deducted for returns for the one-year period.

• For Class N shares, the 1.0% CDSC is deducted for returns for the one-year and life of class periods, as applicable.

• There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.

The Fund's returns are calculated based on the change in value of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formulas below) held for a number of years ("n" in the formulas)

• Average Annual Total Return. The "average annual total return" for each class is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a specified number of years that, assuming all dividends are reinvested, results in an Ending Redeemable Value ("ERV") according to the following formula:

• 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 that, assuming all dividends and distributions, adjusted to show the effect of federal taxes calculated using the highest individual marginal federal income tax rates in effect on any reinvestment date, are reinvested, results in an ending value ("ATVD") according to the following formula:

• 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 that, assuming all dividends and distributions, adjusted to show the effect of federal taxes calculated using the highest individual marginal federal income tax rates in effect on any reinvestment date, are reinvested, results in an ending value ("ATVDR") after taking into account the effect of capital gains taxes or capital loss tax benefits resulting from the redemption of the shares at the end of the period, each calculated using the highest federal individual capital gains tax rate in effect on the redemption date, according to the following formula:

• Cumulative Total Return. The "cumulative total return" measures the change in value of a hypothetical investment over an entire period of years using 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 according to the following formula:

• Total Returns at Net Asset Value. From time to time the Fund may also quote cumulative or average annual total returns for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class N shares "at net asset value" without deducting the front-end sales charge or CDSC, based on the difference in net asset value per share at the beginning and, taking into consideration the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions, at the end of the specified period.

• Hypothetical Investment Accounts. Fund advertisements or sales literature may also, from time to time, include performance of a hypothetical investment account that includes the total return of shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds as part of an illustration of an asset allocation model or similar presentation.

A number of factors should be considered before using the Fund's performance information as a basis for comparison with other investments:

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

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

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

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

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

Performance Data. The charts below show the Fund's performance as of its most recent fiscal year end. You can obtain current performance information by visiting the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com or by calling the Fund's Transfer Agent at the telephone number shown on the cover of this SAI.

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.

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

Other Performance Comparisons. In its Annual Report to shareholders, the Fund compares its performance to that of one or more appropriate market indices. You can obtain that information by visiting the OppenheimerFunds website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com or by calling the Fund's Transfer Agent at the telephone number shown on the cover of this SAI. 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. The following are examples of some of those comparisons.

     Lipper Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking of the performance of its share classes by Lipper, Inc. ("Lipper"), a widely-recognized independent mutual fund monitoring service. Lipper monitors and ranks the performance of regulated investment companies for various periods in categories based on investment styles. Lipper also publishes "peer-group" indices and averages of the performance of all mutual funds in particular categories.

     Morningstar Ratings. From time to time the Fund may publish the "star ratings" of its classes of shares by Morningstar, Inc. ("Morningstar"), an independent mutual fund monitoring service that rates and ranks mutual funds within their specialized market sectors. Morningstar proprietary star ratings reflect risk-adjusted historical total investment returns for funds with at least a three-year performance history. 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.

     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 other similar publications. That information may include performance quotations from other sources, including Lipper and Morningstar or the Fund's performance may be compared to the performance of various market indices, other investments, or averages, performance rankings or other benchmarks prepared by recognized mutual fund statistical services. The Fund's advertisements and sales literature may also include, for illustrative or comparative purposes, statistical data or other information about general or specific market and economic conditions, for example:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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, including certificates of deposit, ordinary interest-paying checking and savings accounts, and other forms of fixed or variable time deposits or 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.

About Your Account

The Fund's Prospectus describes how to buy, sell and exchange shares of the Fund and certain other Oppenheimer funds. The information below provides further details about the Fund's policies regarding those share transactions. It should be read in conjunction with the information in the Prospectus. Appendix A of this SAI provides 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 investors and certain types of purchases or redemptions.

Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share. The net asset value ("NAV") per share for each class of shares of the Fund is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The NAV is determined as of the close of business on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on each day that the NYSE is open. The NYSE 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 SAI mean "Eastern time." The NYSE's most recent annual announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will close on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Washington's Birthday (Presidents Day), Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.

Dealers other than NYSE members may conduct trading in certain securities on days that the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays) or after 4:00 p.m. on a regular business day. Because the Fund's net asset values will not be calculated on those days, the Fund's net asset values per share may be significantly affected on days when shareholders may not purchase or redeem shares. Additionally, trading on many foreign stock exchanges and over-the-counter markets normally is completed before the close of the NYSE.

Changes in the values of securities traded on foreign exchanges or markets as a result of events that occur after the close of the principal market on which a security is traded, but before the close of the NYSE, will not be reflected in the Fund's calculation of its net asset values that day unless the Manager learns of the event and determines that the event is likely to cause a material change in the value of the security. The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations under those procedures to the Manager's "Valuation Committee". Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval, ratification and confirmation by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

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

• Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange are valued as follows:

1. if "last sale" information is regularly reported on the principal exchange on which a security is traded, it is valued at the last reported sale price on that day, or
2. if "last sale" information is not available on a valuation date, the security is 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
3. if "last sale" information is not available on a valuation date, and the last reported sale price for the security preceding the valuation date is not within the spread of the closing "bid" and "asked" prices on the valuation date, the security is valued at the closing "bid" price on the valuation date.

• Equity securities traded on a foreign securities exchange generally are valued in one of the following ways:

1. at the last sale price available to the pricing service approved by the Board, 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
4. on the basis of reasonable inquiry, from two market makers in the security.

• Long-term debt securities having a remaining maturity of more than 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 or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry.

• The following securities are valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices determined by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:

1. debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when issued,
2. debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and
3. non-money market debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and which have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less.

• The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts:

1. money market debt securities held by a non-money market fund that had a maturity of less than 397 days when issued and that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and
2. debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less.

• Securities (including restricted securities) not having readily-available market quotations are valued at fair value determined under the Board's procedures. If the Manager is unable to locate two market makers willing to give quotes, a security may be priced at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices provided by a single active market maker, or 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, the Manager may use pricing services approved by the Board when last sale information is not generally available. 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 valuations. That monitoring may include comparing prices used for portfolio valuation to the actual sale prices of selected securities.

Foreign currency, including forward contracts, is valued and securities that are denominated in foreign currency are converted to U.S. dollars, using the closing prices in the New York foreign exchange market or that are provided to the Manager by a bank, dealer or pricing service that the Manager has determined to be reliable.

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

When the Fund sells an option, an amount equal to the premium the Fund receives 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 sold by the Fund is exercised, the proceeds are increased by the premium received. If a call or put sold 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 the premium that was paid by the Fund.

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

For calculating the Fund's net asset value, dividends and distributions, the Fund differentiates between 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. Those expenses are first allocated based on the percentage of the Fund's total assets that is represented by the assets of each share class. Such general expenses include management fees, legal, bookkeeping and audit fees, Board compensation, custodian expenses, share issuance costs, interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses, such as litigation costs. Then the expenses allocated to a share class are allotted equally to each outstanding share within a given class.

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.

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

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

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

Class B, Class C or Class N shares may not be purchased by a new investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating another registered broker-dealer.

Class A Sales Charges Reductions and Waivers. There is an initial sales charge on the purchase of Class A shares of each of the Oppenheimer funds except for the money market funds (under certain circumstances described in this SAI, redemption proceeds of certain money market fund shares may be subject to a CDSC). As discussed in the Prospectus, a reduced initial sales charge rate may be obtained for certain share purchases because of the reduced sales efforts and reduction in expenses realized by the Distributor, dealers or brokers in making such sales. Sales charge waivers may apply in certain other circumstances because the Distributor or dealer or broker incurs little or no selling expenses. Appendix A to this SAI includes additional information regarding certain of these sales charge reductions and waivers.

A reduced sales charge rate may be obtained for Class A shares under a Right of Accumulation or Letter of Intent because of the reduction in sales effort and expenses to the Distributor, dealers or brokers for those sales.

Letter of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent (a "Letter"), you may be able to reduce the initial sales charge rate that applies to your Class A share purchases of the Fund if you purchase Class A, Class B or Class C shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds or Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class H units of advisor sold Section 529 plans, for which the Manager or the Distributor serves as the Program Manager or Program Distributor.

A Letter is an investor's statement in writing to the Distributor of his or her intention to purchase a specified value of those shares or units during a 13 month period (the "Letter period"), which begins on the date of the investor's first share purchase following the establishment of the Letter. The sales charge on each purchase of Class A shares during the Letter period will be at the rate that would apply to a single lump-sum purchase of shares in the amount intended to be purchased. In submitting a Letter, the investor makes no commitment to purchase shares. However, if the investor does not fulfill the terms of the Letter within the Letter period, he or she agrees to pay the additional sales charges that would have been applicable to any purchases that are made. The investor agrees that shares equal in value to 2% of the intended purchase amount will be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent for that purpose, as described in "Terms of Escrow" below. It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or the investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter when placing purchase orders during the Letter period. The investor must also notify the Distributor or his or her financial intermediary of any qualifying 529 plan holdings.

To determine whether an investor has fulfilled the terms of a Letter, the Transfer Agent will count purchases of "qualified" Class A, Class B and Class C shares and Class A, Class B, Class C, Class G and Class H units during the Letter period. Purchases of Class N or Class Y shares, purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, purchases of Class A shares with redemption proceeds under the Reinvestment Privilege, and purchases of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which a sales charge has not been paid do not count as "qualified" shares for satisfying the terms of a Letter. An investor will also be considered to have fulfilled the Letter if the value of the investor's total holdings of qualified shares on the last day of the Letter period equals or exceeds the intended purchase amount.

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

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

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

Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.

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

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

3. If, during the Letter period, an investor exchanges shares of the Fund for shares of another fund (as described in the Prospectus section titled "The OppenheimerFunds Exchange Privilege"), the Fund shares held in escrow will automatically be exchanged for shares of the other fund and the escrow obligations will also be transferred to that fund.

4. If the total purchases under the Letter are less than the intended purchases specified, on the first business day after the end of the Letter period, the Distributor will redeem escrowed shares equal in value to the difference between the dollar amount of the sales charges actually paid and the amount of the sales charges that would have been paid if the total purchases had been made at a single time. Any shares remaining after such redemption will be released from escrow.

5. If the terms of the Letter are fulfilled, the escrowed shares will be promptly released to the investor at the end of the Letter period.

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

Class A Shares Purchased with Proceeds from Certain Retirement Plans. Class A shares of the Fund may be purchased at net asset value with the redemption proceeds of shares of another mutual fund offered as an investment option in a retirement plan in which Oppenheimer funds are also offered as investment options, if the purchase occurs more than 30 days after the Oppenheimer funds are added as an investment option under that plan. No sales concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of record on sales of such Class A shares, whether or not they are subject to a CDSC as described in the Prospectus. Additionally, no concession will be paid on Class A share purchases by a retirement plan that are made with the redemption proceeds of Class N shares of an Oppenheimer fund held by a retirement plan for more than 18 months.

Class B Conversion. Under current interpretations of applicable federal income tax law by the Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"), 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.

Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the types of retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares that are described in the Prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:

• to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),

• to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans, Profit-Sharing Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans,

• to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and Ascender retirement plans,

• to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,

• to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,

• to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix A to this SAI) which have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor for that purpose,

• to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the recordkeeper or the plan sponsor for which has entered into a special agreement with the Distributor,

• to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of all such plans invested in the Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or more,

• to Retirement Plans with at least 100 eligible employees or $500,000 or more in plan assets,

• to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds, and

• to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that are identified in a special agreement between the broker-dealer or financial advisor and the Distributor for that purpose.

The sales concession and the advance of the service fee, as described in the Prospectus, will not be paid to dealers of record on sales of Class N shares on:

• purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds),

• purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than one year (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds),

• 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, and

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.

Share Certificates. 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.

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.

AccountLink. Shares purchased through AccountLink will be purchased at the net asset value calculated on the same regular business day if the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated Clearing House ("ACH") transfer to buy the shares before the close of the NYSE. The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., but may close earlier on certain days. If the Distributor is instructed to initiate the ACH transfer after the close of the NYSE, the shares will be purchased on the next regular business day.

Dividends will begin to accrue on the shares purchased through the ACH system on the business day the Fund receives Federal Funds before the close of the NYSE. The proceeds of ACH transfers are normally received by the Fund three days after a transfer is initiated. If Federal Funds are received on a business day after the close of the NYSE, dividends will begin to accrue on the next regular business day. If the proceeds of an 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.

The minimum purchase through AccountLink is generally $50, however for accounts established prior to November 1, 2002 the minimum purchase is $25.

Asset Builder Plans. As indicated in the Prospectus, you normally must establish your Fund account with $1,000 or more. However, you can open a Fund account for as little as $500 if you establish an Asset Builder Plan at the time of your initial share purchase to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank account.

An Asset Builder Plan is available only if your bank is an ACH member and you establish AccountLink. Under an Asset Builder Plan, payments to purchase shares of the Fund will be debited from your bank account automatically. Normally the debit will be made two business days prior to the investment dates you select on your application. Neither the Distributor, the Transfer Agent nor the Fund will be responsible for any delays in purchasing shares that result from delays in ACH transmissions.

To establish an Asset Builder Plan at the time you initially purchase Fund shares, complete the "Asset Builder Plan" information on the Account Application. To establish an Asset Builder Plan for an existing account, use the Asset Builder Enrollment Form. The Account Application and the Asset Builder Enrollment Form are available by contacting the Distributor or may be downloaded from our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Before you establish a new Fund account under the Asset Builder Plan, you should obtain a prospectus of the selected Fund and read it carefully.

You may change the amount of your Asset Builder payment or you can terminate your automatic investments at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent requires a reasonable period (approximately 10 days) after receipt of your instructions to implement them. The minimum additional purchase under an Asset Builder Plan is $50, except that for Asset Builder Plans established prior to November 1, 2002, the minimum additional purchase is $25. Shares purchased by Asset Builder Plan payments are subject to the redemption restrictions for recent purchases described in the Prospectus. An Asset Builder Plan may not be used to buy shares for OppenheimerFunds employer-sponsored qualified retirement accounts. The Fund 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 Appendix A to this SAI. 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 had 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 had $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 had $5 million or more in assets invested in applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase only Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds.

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

How to Sell Shares

Receiving Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire. The Fund would normally authorize a Federal Funds wire of redemption proceeds to be made on its next regular business day following the redemption. A Federal Funds wire may be delayed if the Fund's custodian bank is not open for business on that day. In that case, the wire will not be transmitted until the next business day on which the bank and the Fund are both open for business. No dividends will be paid on the proceeds of redeemed shares awaiting transfer by Federal Funds wire.

Redeeming Shares Through Brokers or Dealers. The Distributor is the Fund's agent to repurchase its shares from authorized brokers or dealers 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 next net asset value computed after the Distributor or the broker or dealer receives the order. A repurchase will be processed at that day's net asset value if the order was received by the broker or dealer from its customer prior to the time the close of the NYSE. Normally, the NYSE closes at 4:00 p.m., but may do so earlier on some days.

For accounts redeemed through a broker-dealer, payment will ordinarily be made within three business days after the shares are redeemed. However, the Distributor must receive the required redemption documents in proper form, with the signature(s) of the registered shareholder(s) guaranteed as described in the Prospectus.

Payments "In Kind." As stated in the Prospectus, payment for redeemed shares is ordinarily made in cash. Under certain circumstances, however, the Board may determine that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders for the Fund to pay for the redeemed shares 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 Fund's portfolio. The Fund will value securities used to pay a redemption in kind using the same method described above under "Determination of Net Asset Value Per Share." That valuation will be made as of the time the redemption price is determined. If shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder might incur brokerage or other costs in selling the securities for cash.

The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company Act. Under that rule, redemptions by a shareholder, of up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the Fund during any 90-day period, must be redeemed solely in cash.

Distributions From Retirement Plans. Participants in OppenheimerFunds-sponsored pension or profit-sharing plans (other than self-employed plan sponsors), whose shares of the Fund are held in the name of the plan or its fiduciary, may not request redemption of their accounts directly. The plan administrator or fiduciary must submit the request.

Requests for distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRA's, SEP-IRA's, SIMPLE IRA's, 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 on the back cover of this SAI. The request must:

1. state the reason for the distribution;
2. if the distribution is premature, state the owner's awareness of tax penalties; and
3. conform to the requirements of the plan and the Fund's other redemption requirements.

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 for determining whether a distribution satisfies the conditions of applicable tax laws and they will not be responsible for any tax penalties assessed in connection with a distribution.

Automatic Withdrawal Plans. Under an Automatic Withdrawal Plan, investors who own Fund shares can authorize the Transfer Agent to redeem shares automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The minimum periodic redemption amount under an Automatic Withdrawal Plan is $50. Shareholders having AccountLink privileges may have Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments deposited to their designated bank account. Payments may also be made by check, payable to all shareholders of record and sent to the address of record for the account. Automatic withdrawals may be requested by telephone for amounts up to $1,500 per month if the payments are to be made by checks sent to the address of record for the account. Telephone requests are not available if the address on the account has been changed within the prior 15 days.

Fund shares will be redeemed as necessary to meet the requested withdrawal payments. Shares will be redeemed at the net asset value per share determined on the redemption date, which is normally three business days prior to the payment receipt date requested by the shareholder. The Fund cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested, however. 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 on 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.

Because of the sales charge assessed on Class A share purchases, shareholders should usually not make additional Class A share purchases while participating in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan. A shareholder whose Class B, Class C or Class N account is subject to a CDSC should usually not establish an automatic withdrawal plan because of the imposition of the CDSC on the withdrawals. If a CDSC does apply to a redemption, the amount of the check or payment will be reduced accordingly. Distributions of capital gains from accounts subject to an Automatic Withdrawal Plan must be reinvested in Fund shares. Dividends on shares held in the account may be paid in cash or reinvested. Required minimum distributions from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored retirement plans may not be arranged on this basis.

The shareholder may change the amount, the payment interval, the address to which checks are to be mailed, the designated bank account for AccountLink payments or may terminate a plan at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent. A signature guarantee may be required for certain changes. The requested change will usually be put into effect approximately two weeks after such notification is received. The shareholder may redeem all or any part of the shares in the account by written notice to the Transfer Agent. That notice must be in proper form in accordance with the requirements in the then-current Fund Prospectus.

The Transfer Agent will administer the Automatic Withdrawal Plan as agent for the shareholder(s) who executed the plan authorization and application submitted to the Transfer Agent. Neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent shall incur any liability for any action taken or not taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith to administer the plan. Any share certificates must be surrendered unendorsed to the Transfer Agent with the plan application to be eligible for automatic withdrawal payments. If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the shareholder will be deemed to have appointed any successor transfer agent to act as agent in administering the plan.

The Transfer Agent will terminate a plan upon its receipt of evidence, satisfactory to it, that the shareholder has died or is legally incapacitated. The Fund may also give directions to the Transfer Agent to terminate a plan. Shares that have not been redeemed at the time a plan is terminated will be held in an account in the name of the shareholder. Share certificates will not be issued for any such shares and all dividends will be reinvested in the account unless and until different instructions are received, in proper form, from the shareholder, his or her executor or guardian, or another authorized person.

The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering these plans at any time without prior notice. By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal Plan, the shareholder agrees to the terms and conditions that apply to such plans. 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.

Transfers of Shares. A shareholder will not be required to pay a CDSC when Fund shares are transferred to registration in the name of another person or entity. The transfer may occur 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 CDSC are transferred, the CDSC will continue to apply to the transferred shares and will be calculated as if the transferee had acquired the shares in the same manner and at the same time as the transferring shareholder.

If less than all of the shares held in an account are transferred, and some but not all shares in the account would be subject to a CDSC if redeemed at that time, the priorities for the imposition of the CDSC described in the Prospectus will be followed in determining the order in which the shares are transferred.

Minimum Balance Fee. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual "Minimum Balance Fee" is assessed on each Fund account with a share balance of less than $500. The Minimum Balance Fee is automatically deducted from each such Fund account in September.

Listed below are certain cases in which the Fund has elected, in its discretion, not to assess the Minimum Balance Fee. These exceptions are subject to change:

• A fund account whose shares were acquired after September 30th of the prior year;

• A fund account that has a balance below $500 due to the automatic conversion of shares from Class B to Class A shares. However, once all Class B shares held in the account have been converted to Class A shares the new Class A share account balance may become subject to the Minimum Balance Fee;

• Accounts of shareholders who elect to access their account documents electronically via eDoc Direct (to access account documents electronically via eDocs Direct, please visit our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com and click the hyperlink "Sign Up for Electronic Document Delivery (eDocs Direct)" under the heading "I Want To," or call 1.888.470.0862 for instructions);

• A fund account that has only certificated shares and, has a balance below $500 and is being escheated;

• Accounts of shareholders that are held by broker-dealers under the NSCC Fund/SERV system in Networking level 1 and 3 accounts;

• Accounts held under the Oppenheimer Legacy Program and/or holding certain Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds;

• Omnibus accounts holding shares pursuant to the Pinnacle, Ascender, Custom Plus, Recordkeeper Pro and Pension Alliance Retirement Plan programs;

• A fund account that falls below the $500 minimum solely due to market fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the fee is deducted; and

• Accounts held in the OppenheimerFunds Portfolio Builder Program which is offered through certain broker/dealers to qualifying shareholders.

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 good faith compliance with those laws.

The Fund reserves the authority to modify Minimum Balance Fee in its discretion.

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board has the right to involuntarily redeem shares held in any account with an aggregate net asset value of less than $500. The Board may change the amount of the aggregate net asset value to which an involuntary redemption may apply. 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 $500 minimum solely as a result of market fluctuations. If the Board exercises this right, it may also determine the requirements for any notice to be given to the shareholders (but not less than 30 days). Alternatively, the Board may set requirements for the shareholder to increase the investment, or set other terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed.

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months after redeeming Class A or Class B shares, a shareholder may reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds without a sales charge if:

• An initial sales charge was paid on the redeemed Class A shares or a Class A CDSC was paid when the shares were redeemed; or

• The Class B CDSC was paid on the redeemed Class B shares.

The reinvestment may only be made in Class A shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of the Fund are exchangeable, as described in "How to Exchange Shares" below. This privilege does not apply to Class C, Class N or Class Y shares or to purchases made through automatic investment options. The Fund may amend, suspend or cease offering this reinvestment privilege at any time for shares redeemed after the date of the amendment, suspension or cessation. The shareholder must request the reinvestment privilege from the Transfer Agent or his or her financial intermediary at the time of purchase.

Reinvestment will be at the next net asset value computed after the Transfer Agent receives the reinvestment order. 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 was 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 after the 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, the sales charge would be added to the basis of the shares acquired with the redemption proceeds.

How to Exchange Shares

Shares of the Fund (including shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions from other Oppenheimer funds or from a unit investment trust) may be exchanged for shares of certain other Oppenheimer funds at net asset value without the imposition of a sales charge, however a CDSC may apply to the acquired shares as described below. Shares of certain money market funds purchased without a sales charge may be exchanged for shares of other Oppenheimer funds offered with a sales charge upon payment of the sales charge. Exchanges into another Oppenheimer fund must meet any applicable minimum investment requirements of that fund.

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. The prospectus of each of the Oppenheimer funds indicates which share class or classes that fund offers and provides information about limitations on the purchase of particular share classes, as applicable for the particular fund. Shareholders that own more than one class of shares of the Fund must specify which class of shares they wish to exchange.

You can obtain a current list of the share classes offered by the funds by calling the toll-free phone number on the first page of this SAI.

The different Oppenheimer funds that are available for exchange have different investment objectives, policies and risks. A shareholder should determine whether the fund selected is appropriate for his or her investment goals 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. Some of the tax consequences of reinvesting redemption proceeds are discussed in "Reinvestment Privilege," above. 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.

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 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, however that notice is not required in extraordinary circumstances.

How Exchanges Affect Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. A CDSC is imposed on exchanges of shares in the following cases:

• The Class A CDSC is imposed on the redemption of Class A shares acquired by the exchange of Class A shares that are subject to a Class A CDSC, if the acquired shares are redeemed within 18 months measured from the beginning of the calendar month in which the exchanged Class A shares were purchased.

• The Class A CDSC is imposed on the redemption of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals acquired prior to October 22, 2007 by the exchange of Class A shares that are subject to a Class A CDSC, if the acquired shares are redeemed within 24 months measured from the beginning of the calendar month in which the exchanged Class A shares were purchased.

• An Early Withdrawal Charge is imposed on Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired by the exchange of Class A shares that are subject to a CDSC, if the acquired shares are repurchased before the expiration of the holding period that was applicable to the exchanged shares.

• The Class A CDSC is imposed on the redemption of Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves and Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. acquired by the exchange of Class A shares that are subject to a Class A CDSC, if the acquired shares are redeemed within the holding period applicable to the exchanged Class A shares.

• The Class B CDSC is imposed on Class B shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within six years of the initial purchase of the exchanged shares, except:

(1)With respect to Class B shares of Oppenheimer Limited Term California Municipal Fund, Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund, Oppenheimer Limited Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund and Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired by exchange, the Class B CDSC is imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed within five years of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

(2)With respect to Class B shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves acquired by the exchange of Class B shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund, the Class B CDSC is imposed on the acquired shares if they are redeemed within five years of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

• The Class C CDSC is imposed on Class C shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within 12 months of the initial purchase of the exchanged shares.

• A 1% Class N CDSC will be imposed on Class N shares held in retirement plans (not including IRAs and 403(b) plans) if the retirement plan is terminated or if Class N shares of all Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an investment option of the plan, if the shares are redeemed within 18 months after the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund.

• A 1% Class N CDSC will be imposed on Class N shares held in IRA's or 403(b) plans if they are redeemed within 18 months after the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund.

When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are exchanged, the priorities for the imposition of the CDSC described in "How To Buy Shares" in the Prospectus will be followed in determining the order in which the shares are exchanged. Before exchanging shares, shareholders should consider how the exchange may affect any CDSC that might be imposed on the subsequent redemption of remaining shares.

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.

Automatic Exchange Plans. Under an Automatic Exchange Plan, shareholders can authorize the Transfer Agent to exchange shares of the Fund for shares of other Oppenheimer funds automatically on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis. The minimum amount that may be exchanged to each other fund account is $50. Instructions regarding the exchange amount, the selected fund(s) and the exchange interval should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds account application or by signature-guaranteed instructions. Any requested changes will usually be put into effect approximately two weeks after notification of a change is received. Exchanges made under these plans are subject to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in this SAI and in "The OppenheimerFunds Exchange Privilege" in the Prospectus.

The Transfer Agent will administer the Automatic Exchange Plan as agent for the shareholder(s). Neither the Fund nor the Transfer Agent shall incur any liability for any action taken or not taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith to administer the plan. Any share certificates must be surrendered unendorsed to the Transfer Agent with the plan application to be eligible for automatic exchanges. If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the shareholder will be deemed to have appointed any successor transfer agent to act as agent in administering the plan.

The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering automatic exchanges at any time without prior notice. By requesting an Automatic Exchange Plan, the shareholder agrees to the terms and conditions that apply to such plans. These provisions may be amended from time to time and any amendments will automatically apply to existing Plans.

Processing Exchange Requests. Shares to be exchanged are redeemed at the net asset value calculated on the regular business day the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request in proper form before the close of the NYSE (the "Redemption Date"). Normally, shares of the fund to be acquired are purchased on the Redemption Date, but such purchases may be delayed by up to five business days if it is determined that either fund 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, any special features of your account that are available in the new fund (such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Withdrawal Plan) will be applied to the new fund account unless you tell the Transfer Agent not to do so.

Shares that are subject to a restriction cited in the Prospectus or this SAI and shares covered by a share certificate that is not tendered will not be exchanged. If an exchange request includes such shares, only the shares available without restrictions will be exchanged.

Distributions and Taxes

Dividends and Other Distributions. The Fund does not have a fixed rate for dividends or other distributions ("distributions") and cannot assure the payment of any distributions. The distributions made by the Fund will vary depending on market conditions, the composition of the Fund's portfolio and Fund expenses. The Fund intends to distribute substantially all of its net investment income and net realized capital gains at least annually, and may sometimes pay a special distribution near the end of the calendar year in order to comply with federal tax requirements.

Distributions are calculated in the same manner, at the same time, and on the same day for each class of shares but will normally differ in amount. Distributions on Class B, Class C and Class N shares are expected to be lower than distributions on Class A shares and Class Y shares because of the effect of the asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares. Whether they are reinvested in Fund shares or received in cash, distributions are taxable to shareholders, as discussed below, 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.

Returned checks for the proceeds of redemptions are invested in shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. If a dividend check or a check representing an automatic withdrawal payment is returned to the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as undeliverable, it will be reinvested in shares of the Fund. Reinvestments will be made as promptly as possible after the return of such checks to the Transfer Agent. Unclaimed accounts may be subject to state escheatment laws, and the Fund and the Transfer Agent will not be liable to shareholders or their representatives for compliance with those laws in good faith.

Taxes. The federal tax treatment of the Fund and distributions to shareholders 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 SAI is based on tax laws in effect on the date of the Prospectus and SAI. Those laws and regulations may be changed by legislative, judicial, or administrative action, sometimes with retroactive effect. State and local tax treatment may differ from the treatment under the Internal Revenue Code as described below.

Before purchasing Fund shares, investors are urged to consult their tax advisers with reference to their own particular tax circumstances as well as the consequences of federal, state, local and any other jurisdiction's tax rules affecting an investment in the Fund.

Qualification and Taxation as a Regulated Investment Company. The Fund has elected to be taxed as a regulated investment company ("RIC") under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code. As long as the Fund qualifies as a RIC, the Fund may deduct the amount of investment company taxable income and net capital gains that it distributes to its shareholders, thereby eliminating Fund-level corporate income tax that would otherwise be imposed on such income. Qualification as a RIC also allows the Fund, under certain conditions, to characterize the distributions made to its shareholders as composed of specific types of tax-favored income such as corporate dividends, capital gains and tax-exempt interest.

Even though the Fund expects to continue to qualify as a RIC, to the extent that it distributes less than all of its income, the Fund may still be subject to a corporate income tax and an excise tax. In addition, any investment income received from a foreign source may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, although the rate of any such withholding tax may be reduced under an income tax treaty if the Fund qualifies for the benefits of the treaty. If possible, the Fund will operate so as to qualify for such reduced rates, Any foreign withholding taxes will reduce the Fund's income and capital gain. The Fund may also be subject to corporate income tax and a penalty on distributions or gains from "passive foreign investment companies" (described below) even if those amounts are distributed to the Fund's shareholders.

Qualifying as a RIC. To qualify as a RIC, the Fund must be a domestic corporation that is either registered under the Investment Company Act as a management company or unit investment trust or is otherwise described in the Internal Revenue Code as having a specific status under the Investment Company Act. The Fund must also satisfy certain tests with respect to (i) the composition of its gross income, (ii) the composition of its assets and (iii) the amount of its dividend distributions.

Gross Income Test. To qualify as a RIC, the Fund must derive at least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with respect to loans of securities, gains from the sale or other disposition of securities or foreign currencies, and certain other income derived with respect to its business of investing in such securities or currencies (including, but not limited to, gains from options, futures or forward contracts), and net income derived from interests in certain "qualified publicly traded partnerships."

Asset Test. In addition, at the close of each quarter of its taxable year, the Fund must satisfy two asset tests. First, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets must consist of securities of other issuers ("Other Issuers"), U.S. Government securities, securities of other RIC's and cash or cash items (including receivables). The securities of an Other Issuer are not counted towards satisfying the 50% test if the Fund either invests more than 5% of the value of the Fund's assets in the securities of that Other Issuer or holds more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of that Other Issuer. Second, no more than 25% of the value of the Fund's total assets may be invested in (1) the securities of any one issuer (other than U.S. Government securities and the securities of other RIC's), (2) the securities of two or more issuers (other than the securities of other RIC's) that the Fund controls and that are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses, or (3) the securities of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships. For purposes of these tests, obligations issued or guaranteed by certain agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. Government are treated as U.S. Government securities.

Dividend Distributions Test. During the taxable year or, under specified circumstances, within 12 months after the close of the taxable year, the Fund must distribute at least 90% of its investment company taxable income for the taxable year, which is generally its net investment income and the excess of its net short-term capital gain minus its net long-term capital loss.

Failure to Qualify. If the Fund failed to qualify as a RIC, it would then be unable to deduct from its taxable income the dividend distributions made to its shareholders and therefore those amounts would be subject to a Fund-level corporate income tax. In addition, the Fund would not be able to characterize the distributions made to its shareholders as anything other than ordinary corporate distributions. To the extent the Fund had "earnings and profits" (as determined for tax purposes), distributions to its shareholders would be taxable as ordinary dividend income. In the case of individuals, those distributions would qualify for the maximum 15% tax rate on dividend income (for taxable years beginning before 2011) and, in the case of corporations, they would qualify for the dividends-received deduction.

Portfolio Investments Subject to Special Tax Rules. The Fund may engage in transactions and investments that are subject to special tax rules under the Internal Revenue Code. These special tax rules may, among other things, change the character of, or accelerate, the Fund's income, defer or disallow the Fund's deductions and losses, and compel the Fund to report as taxable income mere increases in the value of its assets. For example, the Fund may invest in foreign currencies or securities denominated in foreign currencies. Under certain circumstances losses from foreign securities could be capital losses but gains from foreign currencies are ordinary income. Because capital losses cannot be deducted against ordinary income, this mismatch in character may negatively affect the character and amount of the Fund's distributions. Or part of an "interest" payment from a high yield debt obligation may be characterized for tax purposes as a dividend and, therefore, eligible for the dividends-received deduction available to corporations.

Certain positions in the Fund's portfolio may have to be "marked-to-market," (that is, treated as if they were sold and repurchased on the last day of the Fund's taxable year). Such "deemed sales" under the mark-to-market rules may alter the character, amount and timing of distributions to shareholders by requiring the Fund to make distributions in order to satisfy the RIC dividend distributions test even though the deemed sales generate no cash. The Fund will monitor its transactions, and seek to make appropriate tax elections and appropriate entries in its books and records in order to reduce the effect of the mark-to-market rules while remaining qualified for treatment as a RIC.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies. If the Fund invests in a "passive foreign investment company" ("PFIC"), then the Fund may be subject to special rules meant to discourage U.S. taxpayers from investing in foreign companies as a way of deferring taxable income. Under those rules, any income from a PFIC distribution or the sale of PFIC shares is allocated to the current taxable year and to prior taxable years. Income allocated to the current year is treated as part of the year's income. Income allocated to a prior taxable year is taxed at the highest corporate rate for that year (regardless of the Fund's actual income or tax rate for that prior year). For each prior taxable year, the Fund must pay both the amount of tax so computed and a penalty that is calculated as if the amount of tax was due but unpaid for the prior taxable year. Liability for such taxes and penalties would reduce the investment return of the Fund.

If a PFIC is willing to provide the Fund with certain necessary reporting information annually (which the Internal Revenue Code does not compel), the Fund may elect to treat a PFIC as a "qualified electing fund" ("QEF") and, in lieu of the tax consequences described above, the Fund would be required to include in each year's income a portion of the ordinary earnings and net capital gains of the PFIC, even if they are not distributed to the Fund. Those amounts would be treated as taxable income for purposes of the 90% dividends distributions test and the excise tax mentioned above.

Alternatively, the Fund may make a mark-to-market election that will result in the Fund being treated as if it had sold and repurchased its PFIC stock at the end of each year. In that case, the Fund would report any gains as ordinary income and would deduct any losses as ordinary losses to the extent of previously recognized gains. The election must be made separately for each PFIC owned by the Fund and, once made, would be effective for all subsequent taxable years, unless revoked with the consent of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). By making the election, the Fund might be able to mitigate the adverse tax consequences with respect to its ownership of shares in a PFIC, but in any particular year it could be required to recognize income in excess of the distributions it received from the PFIC and the proceeds from dispositions of the PFIC's stock. The amounts so included would be treated as taxable income for purposes of the 90% dividends distributions test and for excise tax purposes (discussed below).

Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies. Under the Internal Revenue Code, the Fund must pay an annual, non-deductible excise tax unless, by December 31st each year, it distributes (1) 98% of its taxable investment income earned from January 1 through December 31, (2) 98% of its capital gain net income realized in the period from November 1 of the prior year through October 31 of the current year and (3) undistributed amounts from prior years. It is presently anticipated that the Fund will meet these distribution requirements, although to do so the Fund might be required to liquidate portfolio investments in certain circumstances. In some years, the Board and the Manager may determine that it would be in the shareholders' best interests for the Fund to pay the excise tax on undistributed amounts rather than making the required level of distributions. In that event, the tax may reduce the amount available for shareholder distributions.

Taxation of Fund Distributions. The Fund anticipates distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and net capital gain for each taxable year. The Fund's distributions will be treated as dividends to the extent paid from the Fund's earnings and profits (as determined under the Internal Revenue Code). Distributions in excess of the Fund's earnings and profits will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of each shareholder's basis in his or her shares, and any remaining amounts will be treated as gain from the sale of those shares, as discussed below. Shareholders will be notified if at the end of the fiscal year, any part of an earlier distribution is re-characterized as a non-taxable return of capital.

Special Characteristics of Certain Distributions. Different types of Fund earnings may have different federal income tax characteristics, including different types of capital gains and different types of ordinary income. For example, the Fund's ordinary income may be composed of dividends eligible for the dividends-received deduction or that qualify for the special maximum tax rate on "qualified dividend income" as described below. The Fund may also generate foreign tax credits. The Fund will allocate the tax characteristics of its earnings among its distributions as prescribed by the IRS. The percentage of each distribution that corresponds to a particular type of income will be based on how much of that income the Fund earns for the entire taxable year rather than how much of that income the Fund has earned at time of the distribution. Those percentages normally will be determined after the close of the Fund's taxable year. The Fund will provide a statement to shareholders shortly after the end of each year indicating the amount and character of distributions made during the preceding calendar year.

Distributions Derived from Dividends. For the Fund's corporate shareholders to claim the dividends-received deduction against the Fund's distributions, both the Fund and its corporate shareholders must satisfy special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. If a dividend the Fund receives on a stock held in its portfolio otherwise qualifies for the dividends-received deduction, the Fund still (1) must hold the stock for a minimum number of days during a specified period that includes the stock's ex-dividend date, (2) cannot enter into certain positions that reduce the risk of holding the stock and (3) cannot debt finance the stock. Similarly, distributions of otherwise qualifying dividends will not be eligible for the dividends-received deduction in the hands of a corporate shareholder of the Fund unless the corporate shareholder (1) holds the Fund's shares for at least 46 days during a specified period that includes the portfolio stock's ex-dividend date and (2) does not debt finance its investment in the Fund's shares. To the extent the Fund's distributions are derived from items such as option premiums, interest income, gains from the sale of securities, or dividends from foreign corporations, those distributions will not qualify for the dividends-received deduction.

Special rules also apply to regular dividends paid to a non-corporate shareholder during the shareholder's taxable years beginning before 2011. Provided that the shareholder receiving the dividend satisfies certain holding period and other requirements, those dividends may be subject to tax at the reduced rates generally applicable to long-term capital gains for individuals (currently a maximum rate of 15%). Dividends subject to these special rules are not actually treated as capital gains, however. They are not included in the computation of the shareholder's net capital gain and generally cannot be offset by capital losses. For a taxable year of the Fund, (i) if 95% or more of the Fund's gross income is attributable to qualified dividend income (defined below), then the special maximum rate will apply to 100% of the regular dividends paid to the shareholder during such year and (ii) if less than 95% of the Fund's gross income is attributable to qualified dividend income, then the special maximum rate will only apply to the portion of the regular dividends designated by the Fund as qualified dividend income. Gross income, for these purposes, does not include gains attributable to the sale or other disposition of stocks and securities, except to the extent the net short-term capital gain from such sales and dispositions exceeds the net long-term capital loss from such sales and dispositions.

"Qualified dividend income" generally means dividends received by the Fund with respect to the stock of a U.S. corporation or qualified foreign corporation. It also includes dividends received with respect to the stock of a foreign corporation provided the stock is readily tradable on an established U.S. securities market. In each case, however, the Fund must hold the stock for a minimum number of days during a specified period that includes the stock's ex-dividend date and cannot enter into certain positions that reduce the risk of holding the stock. Qualified dividend income does not include "payments in lieu of dividends" received in securities lending transactions or dividends received from a real estate investment trust ("REIT") or another RIC, except to the extent such dividends were paid from qualified dividend income received and designated by such REIT or RIC. If a shareholder elects to treat Fund dividends as investment income for purposes of the limitation on the deductibility of investment interest, such dividends will not be treated as qualified dividend income.

Ordinary Income Dividends. Distributions from income earned by the Fund from one or more of the following sources will be treated as ordinary income to the shareholder:

• certain taxable temporary investments (such as certificates of deposit, repurchase agreements, commercial paper and obligations of the U.S. Government, or its agencies and instrumentalities);

• income from loans of portfolio securities;

• income or gains from options or futures;

• any net short-term capital gain; and

• any market discount accrual on tax-exempt bonds.

Capital Gain Distributions. The Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital gain (the excess of net long-term capital gain over net short-term capital loss). Currently, the Fund intends to distribute these gains. Distributed net capital gain that is properly designated will be taxable to the Fund's shareholders as long-term capital gains, and in the case of non-corporate shareholders, will qualify for the maximum tax rate of 15% for taxable years beginning before 2011. The amount of distributions designated as net capital gain will be reported to shareholders shortly after the end of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter how long the shareholder has held Fund shares and even if the gain was recognized by the Fund before the shareholder acquired Fund shares.

If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain for a taxable year, the Fund will be subject to tax on such gain at the highest corporate tax rate. Each shareholder of record on the last day of such taxable year will be informed of his or her portion of both the gain and the tax paid, will be required to report the gain as long-term capital gain, will be able to claim the tax paid as a refundable credit, and will increase the basis of his or her shares by the amount of the capital gain reported minus the tax credit.

Foreign Source Income. Investment income that the Fund may receive from sources within foreign countries may be subject to foreign taxes withheld at the source. If more than 50% of the value of the Fund's total assets at the close of any taxable year consists of securities of foreign corporations the Fund may elect to treat any foreign income and withholding taxes it pays as having been paid by its shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes, as long as the Fund continues to qualify as a RIC. If the Fund makes that election, the amount of foreign income taxes paid by the Fund will be included in the income of its shareholders and each shareholder will be entitled (subject to certain limitations) to either credit the amount against the shareholder's U.S. federal income tax due, or deduct the amount from his or her U.S. taxable income. The Fund may qualify for and make this election in some, but not necessarily all, of its taxable years.

Shortly after any year for which it makes such an election, the Fund will report to its shareholders the amount per share of such foreign tax that must be included in each shareholder's gross income and the amount that will be available for deduction or credit. In general, a shareholder may elect each year whether to claim deductions or credits for foreign taxes. However, no deductions for foreign taxes may be claimed by a non corporate shareholder who does not itemize deductions. If a shareholder elects to credit foreign taxes, the amount of credit that may be claimed in any year can not exceed the same proportion of the U.S. tax against which such credit is taken as the shareholder's taxable income from foreign sources bears to his or her entire taxable income, unless the shareholder is an individual all of whose gross income from non-U.S. sources is qualified passive income and whose creditable foreign taxes for the taxable year do not exceed $300 ($600 for a joint return).

As a general rule, if the Fund has made the appropriate election, a shareholder may treat as foreign source income the portion of any dividend paid by the Fund which represents income derived from sources within foreign countries, as well as the shareholder's proportionate share of the taxes paid to those countries. Capital gains realized by the Fund on the sale of foreign securities and other foreign currency gains of the Fund are considered to be U.S.-source income and, therefore, any portion of the tax credit passed through to shareholders that is attributable to such gains or distributions might not be usable by a shareholder who does not have other foreign source income.

Tax Consequences of Share Redemptions. If all or a portion of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is redeemed, the shareholder will recognize a gain or loss on the redeemed shares equal to the difference between the proceeds of the redeemed shares and the shareholder's adjusted tax basis in the shares. In general, any gain or loss from the redemption of shares of the Fund will be considered capital gain or loss if the shares were held as a capital asset and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were held for more than one year. Any capital loss arising from the redemption of shares held for six months or less, however, 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. There are limits on the deductibility of capital losses in any year.

All or a portion of any loss on redeemed shares may be disallowed if the shareholder purchases other shares of the Fund within 30 days before or after the redemption (including purchases through the reinvestment of dividends). In that case, the basis of the acquired shares will be adjusted to reflect the disallowed loss. If a shareholder exercises the exchange privilege within 90 days after acquiring Fund shares, any loss that the shareholder recognizes on the exchange will be reduced, or any gain will be increased, to the extent that sales charge paid on the exchanged shares reduces any charges the shareholder would have incurred on the purchase of the new shares in the absence of the exchange privilege. Such sales charge will be treated as an amount paid for the new shares.

Taxation of Foreign Shareholders. Under the Internal Revenue Code, taxation of a foreign shareholder depends primarily on whether the foreign shareholder'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. "Foreign shareholders" include, but are not limited to, a nonresident alien individual, a foreign trust, a foreign estate, a foreign corporation, or a foreign partnership.

If a foreign shareholder fails to provide a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status, the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. tax on ordinary income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares. Provided the Fund obtains a proper certification of foreign status, ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund to foreign shareholders and that are not "effectively connected income," will be subject to a U.S. withholding tax. The tax rate may be reduced if the foreign person's country of residence has an income tax treaty with the United States allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends paid by the Fund. If the ordinary income dividends from the Fund are effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, then the foreign shareholder may claim an exemption from the U.S. withholding tax described above provided the Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. Any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in the early part of each year with a copy sent to the IRS. Capital gain dividends are not subject to U.S. withholding tax unless the recipient is a nonresident alien who is present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year in which the dividends are received. A foreign individual who is present in the United States for 183 days or more generally loses his or her status as a nonresident alien.

For taxable years of the Fund beginning before January 1, 2010, properly designated dividends are generally exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax on foreign persons provided such dividends (i) are derived from the Fund's "qualified net interest income" (generally, the Fund's U.S. source interest income, other than certain contingent interest and interest from obligations of a corporation or partnership in which the Fund is a 10% or greater shareholder, reduced by expenses that are allocable to such income) or (ii) are derived from the Fund's "qualified short-term capital gains" (generally, the excess of the Fund's net short-term capital gain over the Fund's net long-term capital loss for such taxable year). In order to qualify for this exemption from withholding, a shareholder that is a foreign person must comply with applicable certification requirements relating to its non-U.S. status. However, depending on its circumstances, the Fund may designate some, all, or none of its potentially eligible dividends as interest-related dividends or as short-term capital gain dividends, and/or treat such dividends, in whole or in part, as ineligible for this exemption from withholding on foreign persons. In the case of shares held through an intermediary, the intermediary may withhold even if the Fund designates the payment as qualified net interest income or qualified short-term capital gain. Shareholders that are foreign persons should contact their intermediaries with respect to the application of these rules to their accounts.

The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable income tax treaty may be different from those described in this SAI. Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisers with respect to the particular tax consequences of an investment in the Fund, including the applicability of the U.S. withholding taxes described above.

Appendix A

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A shares of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") that may apply to Class A, Class B, Class C or N shares may be waived.¹ That is because of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as the "Distributor"), or by dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain classes of investors. Not all waivers apply to all funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds, the term "Retirement Plan" refers to the following types of plans:

1. plans created or qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,
2. non-qualified deferred compensation plans,
3. employee benefit plans,²
4. Group Retirement Plans,³
5. 403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts, and 
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 CDSC if redeemed within 18 months (24 months in the case of shares of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals shares purchased prior to 10/22/07) 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 CDSC, the Distributor will pay the applicable concession described in the Prospectus under "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."⁴ 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"). The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $5 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.
2. The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $5 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.
3. The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date of the plan sponsor signs that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).

Footnotes to Appendix A:

1. In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to CDSCs mean the Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to "redemptions" mean "repurchases" of shares.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. This provision does not apply to IRAs.

6. 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. This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.

Appendix B

Ratings Definitions

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the nationally recognized statistical rating organizations ("NRSROs") listed below. Those ratings represent the opinion of the NRSRO as to the credit quality of issues that they rate. The summaries below are based upon publicly available information provided by the NRSROs.

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.

LONG-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS
Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following considerations:

• Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;

• Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and

• Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.

The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority in bankruptcy, as noted above.

AAA: An obligation rated "AAA" has 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" differs 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" is 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" 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.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C: Obligations 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" is 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" is 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" is 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" is 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" 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.

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", and "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:

• Amortization schedule-the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will be treated as a note; and

• Source of payment-the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely it will be treated as a note.

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

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

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

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

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

Investment-Grade:

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. "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, and 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.

Valuation Inputs

Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund's investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

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

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

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of October 31, 2009 based on valuation input level:

			Level 2-		Level 3-
	Level 1-		Other Significant		Significant

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Small- & Mid- Cap Value Fund (the "Fund"), a series of Oppenheimer Quest For Value Funds, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund's investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the "Manager").

     The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC"). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase. Prior to January 1, 2009, the Fund assessed a 2% fee on the proceeds of fund shares that were redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund) within 30 days of their purchase. The fee, which was retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.

     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

     Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as "Level 1," inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as "Level 2" and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager's judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as "Level 3." The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund's investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.

     Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.

     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day's closing "bid" and "asked" prices, and if not, at the current day's closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.

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

     Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices.

     "Money market-type" debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value.

     In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund's assets are valued but after the close of the securities' respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.

     Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund's books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

     The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund's Statement of Operations.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund ("IMMF") to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund's investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF's Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund's investment in IMMF.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund's tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

					Net Unrealized

$-	$	-	$	1,299,086,359	$	148,658,596

1. As of October 31, 2009, the Fund had $1,299,086,359 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of October 31, 2009, details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

Expiring
2016	$	460,115,322
2017		838,971,037
Total	$	1,299,086,359

2.	During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
3.	During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for October 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of October 31, 2009 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Federal tax cost of securities	$	2,267,980,624
Gross unrealized appreciation	$	247,953,711
Gross unrealized depreciation		(99,295,115	)
Net unrealized appreciation	$	148,658,596

Trustees' Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the "Plan") for the Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the "Freeze Date") and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active independent trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund's projected benefit obligations, payments to retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:

Projected Benefit Obligations Increased	$	96,426
Payments Made to Retired Trustees		116,903
Accumulated Liability as of October 31, 2009		594,951

The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of "Other" within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees' fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund's assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.  

Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. "Custodian fees and expenses" in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The "Reduction to custodian expenses" line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund's organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

	Purchases		Sales
Investment securities	$	1,964,446,363	$	2,160,026,488

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

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

Fee Schedule
Up to $400 million	0.80	%
Next $400 million	0.75
Next $1.2 billion	0.60
Next $4.0 billion	0.58
Over $6.0 billion	0.56

Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services ("OFS"), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund paid $7,203,797 to OFS for services to the Fund.

     Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 annually for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.

Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the "Distributor") acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund's classes of shares.

Distribution and Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the "Plan") for Class A shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays a service fee to the Distributor of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class A shares. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal services and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Under the Plan, the Fund may also pay an asset-based sales charge to the Distributor. Beginning January 1, 2003, the Board of Trustees set the annual asset-based sales charge rate at zero. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the "Plans") for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those 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 daily net assets and 0.25% on Class N shares daily net assets. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distributor determines its uncompensated expenses under the Plans at calendar quarter ends. The Distributor's aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at September 30, 2009 were as follows:

Class C	$	8,109,362
Class N		4,034,180

Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges ("CDSC") do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period indicated.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

During the year ended October 31, 2009, OFS waived transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees as follows:

Class A	$	1,773,850
Class B		428,394
Class C		426,451
Class N		590,421

     The Manager has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain costs associated with soliciting proxies for the special shareholder meeting as described below. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Manager reimbursed the Fund $66,433 for proxy related costs.

     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund's investment in IMMF. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Manager waived $152,672 for IMMF management fees.

     During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Manager voluntarily reimbursed the Fund $109,109 for certain transactions. The payment increased the Fund's total returns by less than 0.01%.

5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments

The Fund's investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors.

Market Risk Factors. In pursuit of its investment objectives, the Fund may seek to use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to the following market risk factors:

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

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

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

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

Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund's use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions.

     Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund's performance.

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

Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund's derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction. To reduce this risk the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund's International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") master agreements, which allow the Fund to net unrealized appreciation and depreciation for positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty.

Credit Related Contingent Features. The Fund has several credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage

decrease in the Fund's net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Fund's Net Asset Value or NAV. The contingent features are established within the Fund's ISDA master agreements which govern positions in swaps, over-the-counter options, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into current and forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.

     Foreign currency exchange contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. These contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.

     The Fund has purchased and sold foreign currency exchange contracts of different currencies in order to acquire currencies to pay for related foreign securities purchase transactions, or to convert foreign currencies to U.S. dollars from related foreign securities sale transactions. These foreign currency exchange contracts are negotiated at the current spot exchange rate with settlement typically within two business days thereafter.

     Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counter-party defaults, the Fund's loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received.

     As of October 31, 2009, the Fund held no outstanding forward contracts.

Option Activity

The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.

     Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.

     Securities designated to cover outstanding call or put options are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable. Options written are reported in a schedule following the Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued

     The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.

     Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk for over-the-counter options and liquidity risk.

Written option activity for the year ended October 31, 2009 was as follows:

	Put Options
	Number of			Amount of
	Contracts			Premiums
Options outstanding as of October 31, 2008		5,750		$	2,202,250

6. Subsequent Events Evaluation

The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through December 16, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.

7. Pending Litigation

During 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds ("Defendant Funds") advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund's investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

     A lawsuit has been brought in state court against the Manager, the Distributor and another subsidiary of the Manager (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the Oregon College Savings Plan Trust, and other lawsuits have been brought in state court against the Manager and that subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. An agreement in principal has been reached to settle the lawsuit on behalf of the Oregon College Savings Plan Trust. All of these lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.

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

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