Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund is a money market fund that invests in a variety of money market instruments to seek current income. Money market instruments are short-term, high-quality dollar-denominated debt instruments issued by the U.S. government, domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions, and other entities. Money market instruments include bank obligations, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, and other short-term corporate and governmental debt obligations.
       To be considered "high-quality," a debt instrument must be rated in one of the two highest credit-quality categories for short-term securities by a nationally-recognized rating service or, if a security is unrated, it must be determined by the Fund's investment manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the "Manager"), under the supervision of the Fund's Board, to be of comparable quality to rated securities in one of those two categories.

Principal Risks.  All investments carry risks to some degree. The Fund's investments are subject to changes in their value from a number of factors. However, the Fund's investments must meet strict standards set by its Board of Trustees and special rules under Federal law for money market funds. Those requirements include maintaining high credit quality, a short average maturity and diversification of the Fund's investments among issuers. Those provisions are designed to help minimize credit risks, to reduce the effects of changes in prevailing interest rates and to reduce the effect on the Fund's portfolio of a default by any one issuer. Since income on short-term securities tends to be lower than income on longer-term debt securities, the Fund's yield will likely be lower than the yield on longer-term fixed-income funds.

Even so, there are risks that an issuer of an obligation that the Fund holds might have its credit rating downgraded or might default on its obligations, or that interest rates might rise sharply, causing the value of the Fund's investments to fall. Also, there is the risk that the value of your investment could be eroded over time by the effects of inflation, or that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds that have a similar objective. If there is an unexpectedly high demand for the redemption of Fund shares, the Fund might need to sell portfolio securities prior to their maturity, possibly at a loss. As a result, there is a risk that the Fund's shares could fall below $1.00 per share.

Interest Rate Risk. The values of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. When interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more when interest rates change than the values of shorter-term debt securities.

Credit Risk. Debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make principal or interest payments on the security when they are 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.

Fixed-Income Market Risks. Recent developments relating to subprime mortgages have adversely affected fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. The values of many types of debt securities have been reduced, including debt securities that are not related to mortgage loans. These developments have reduced the willingness of some lenders to extend credit and have made it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms or at all. In addition, broker-dealers and other market participants have been less willing to make a market in some types of debt instruments, which has impacted the liquidity of those instruments. These developments may also have a negative effect on the broader economy. There is a risk that the lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund's ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.

Who Is the Fund Designed For? The Fund is designed for investors who want to earn income at money market rates while seeking to preserve the value of their investment and maintaining easy access to their investment through checkwriting and wire redemption privileges. The Fund will invest in a variety of money market instruments to seek current income and stability of principal and to try to maintain a stable share price of $1.00. The Fund is not a complete investment program.

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

Purchase and Sale of Fund Shares.  In most cases, you can buy Fund shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional investments with as little as $50. For certain plans and retirement accounts, the minimum initial investment is $500 and, for some, the minimum additional investment is $25. For certain fee based programs the minimum initial investment is $250.

Shares may be purchased through a financial intermediary or the Distributor or redeemed through a financial intermediary or the transfer agent on days the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading. Shareholders may purchase or redeem shares by mail, through the website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com or by calling 800.225.5677. Share transactions may be made by check, by Federal funds wire or directly from or into your bank account.  The Fund also offers a checkwriting privilege.

Taxes.  The Fund intends to declare dividends from its net investment income on each regular business day and to pay those dividends to shareholders monthly. To maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share, the Fund might withhold dividends or make distributions from capital or capital gains. If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred account, Fund distributions are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to state or local taxes, whether taken in cash or reinvested. The Fund normally holds its securities to maturity and therefore will not usually pay capital gains. The Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, however, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries. If you purchase Fund shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund, the Manager, or their related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Fund shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
