The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE?  The Fund seeks capital appreciation consistent
with preservation of principal, while providing current income.

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN?  The Fund invests mainly in equity securities of
issuers in the U.S. and foreign countries. Some of those equity securities are expected to
pay dividends which produce income for the Fund.  Currently the Fund emphasizes its
investments in stocks, but may invest in debt securities when the Fund's investment
Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., deems appropriate. The Fund is not required to invest any
set percentage of its assets for growth or income. The Fund can invest in any country,
including developed or emerging markets, but currently emphasizes investments in developed
markets. As a fundamental policy, the Fund will normally invest in at least four countries
(including the United States).

      The Fund can invest in securities of corporate issuers in all capitalization ranges.
The Fund currently invests a substantial portion of its assets in small- and mid-sized
companies whose prices may be more volatile than stocks issued by larger companies. These
investments are more fully explained below.

HOW DOES THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL?  In selecting
securities for the Fund, the Manager looks primarily for companies with high growth
potential in the U.S. and foreign markets that he believes have reasonably priced stocks in
relation to overall stock market valuations. Currently the portfolio manager looks for
stocks to provide growth opportunities, such as companies in industries with substantial
barriers to new competition, such as high start-up costs, that may have competitive
advantages over established companies in those industries.

      In applying these and other selection criteria, the portfolio manager considers the
effect of worldwide trends on the growth of various business sectors, and looks for
companies that may benefit from global trends.  The trends, or "global themes," currently
considered include development of new technologies, corporate restructuring, the growth of
mass affluence and demographic changes. The portfolio manager does not invest a fixed
amount of the Fund's assets according to these themes, and this strategy and the themes
that are considered may change over time.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking capital
growth in their investment over the long term with the opportunity for some current income,
from a fund that normally has substantial foreign investments. Those investors should be
willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a
fund focusing on stock investments and foreign securities. Although the Fund invests in
stocks that produce income, the income will likely be small, so it is not designed for
investors needing income.  Because of its focus on long-term growth, the Fund may be
appropriate for some portion of a retirement plan investment for investors with a high-risk
tolerance, but is not a complete investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

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

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCKS. Because the Fund currently invests primarily in common
stocks, the value of the Fund's portfolio will be affected by changes in the stock markets.
Stocks fluctuate in price, and their short-term volatility at times may be great. That
volatility is likely to be even greater for stocks issued by small-and mid-sized companies
of which the Fund may invest a substantial amount of its assets. Market risk will affect
the Fund's net asset values per share, which will fluctuate as the values of the Fund's
portfolio securities change.  The Fund's emphasis of growth stocks can also result in
higher volatility, as explained below under "Growth Stock Investments."

      A variety of factors can affect the price of a particular stock and the prices of
individual stocks do not all move in the same direction uniformly or at the same time.
Different stock markets may behave differently from each other. Other factors can affect a
particular stock's price, such as poor earnings reports by the issuer, loss of major
customers, major litigation against the issuer, or changes in government regulations
affecting the issuer or its industry.

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

Risks of Growth Investing. Stocks of growth companies, particularly newer companies, may
      offer opportunities for greater capital appreciation but may be more volatile than
      stocks of larger, more established companies. If the company's earnings growth or
      stock price fails to increase as expected, the stock price of a growth company may
      decline sharply.

Special Risks of Stocks Issued by Small- and Mid-Sized Companies. While the Fund can invest
      in securities of any capitalization range, it may emphasize its investments in small-
      and medium-cap companies (currently, those having a market capitalization less than
      $2 billion and $9 billion, respectively). These companies can include both
      established and newer companies. While newer growth companies might offer greater
      opportunities for capital appreciation than larger, more established companies, they
      involve substantially greater risks of loss and price fluctuations than larger
      issuers.

      Stocks of small- and mid-sized companies may have limited product lines or markets
      for their products, limited access to financial resources and less depth in
      management skill than larger, more established companies. Their stocks may be less
      liquid than those of larger issuers. That means the Fund could have greater
      difficulty selling their securities at an acceptable price, especially in periods of
      market volatility. That factor increases the potential for losses to the Fund. Also,
      it may take a substantial period of time before the Fund realizes a gain on an
      investment in the stocks of a small- or mid-sized company, if it realizes any gain at
      all.

Investing in Special Situations. Periodically, the Fund might use aggressive investment
       techniques. These might include seeking to benefit from what the portfolio manager
       perceives to be "special situations," such as mergers, reorganizations,
       restructurings or other unusual events expected to affect a particular issuer.
       However, there is a risk in investing in special situations that the change or event
       might not occur, which could have a negative impact on the price of the issuer's
       securities. The Fund's investment might not produce the expected gains or could
       incur a loss for the portfolio.

Cyclical Opportunities. The Fund may also seek to take advantage of changes in the business
       cycle by investing in companies that are sensitive to those changes if the Manager
       believes they have growth potential. The Fund might sometimes seek to take tactical
       advantage of short-term market movements or events affecting particular issuers or
       industries. There is a risk that if the event does not occur as expected, the value
       of the stock could fall, which in turn could depress the Fund's share prices.

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. While foreign securities may offer special investment
opportunities, there are also special risks.  The change in value of a foreign currency
against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities
denominated in that foreign currency.  Foreign issuers are not subject to the same
accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to.

      The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations,
expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign taxes, delays in settlement
of transactions, changes in governmental economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad,
or other political and economic factors. These risks could cause the prices of foreign
stocks to fall and could therefore depress the Fund's share prices.

Special Risks of Emerging Markets. While the Fund currently focuses on investing in
       developed markets, it can also invest in emerging or developing markets.  Securities
       of issuers in emerging and developing markets may offer special investment
       opportunities, but present risks not found in more mature markets.  Those securities
       may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and their prices may be more
       volatile than securities of issuers in more developed markets.  Settlements of
       trades may be subject to greater delays so that the Fund might not receive the
       proceeds of a sale of a security on a timely basis.  These investments may be very
       speculative.


      These countries might have less developed trading markets and exchanges.  Emerging
      market countries may have less developed legal and accounting systems and investments
      may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions on withdrawing the sale
      proceeds of securities from the country.  Economies of developing countries may be
      more dependent on relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local
      and global changes.  Governments may be more unstable and present greater risks of
      nationalization or restrictions on foreign ownership of stocks of local companies.


HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL? The risks described above collectively form the overall risk
profile of the Fund, and can affect the value of the Fund's investments, its investment
performance and its price per share. Particular investments and investment strategies also
have risks. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund. When you
redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. There is no
assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. In the short term, domestic
and foreign stock markets can be volatile, and the price of the Fund's shares can go up and
down substantially. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund generally may be less
volatile than funds focusing on investments in emerging markets or small-cap stock funds,
but the Fund has greater risks than funds that focus solely on large-cap domestic stocks.

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

The Fund's Past Performance


      The bar chart and table below show one measure of the risks of investing in the Fund,
by showing changes in the Fund's performance (for its Class A shares) from year to year for
the last 10 calendar years and by showing how the average annual total returns of the
Fund's shares, both before and after taxes, compare to those of a broad-based market index.
The after-tax returns for the other classes of shares will vary.


      The after-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and are calculated using the
historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect during the
periods shown, and do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes.  The after-tax
returns are calculated based on certain assumptions mandated by regulation and your actual
after-tax returns may differ from those shown, depending on your individual tax situation.
The after-tax returns set forth below are not relevant to investors who hold their fund
shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or IRAs or to institutional
investors not subject to tax. The Fund's past investment performance, before and after
taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

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

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


Sales charges and taxes are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart,
and if those charges and taxes were included, the returns may be less than those shown.
For the period from 1/1/04 through 9/30/04, the cumulative return (not annualized) before
taxes for Class A shares was 2.07%.
During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return (not  annualized)  before taxes
for a calendar  quarter  was  32.45%  (4th Qtr 99) and the lowest  return  (not  annualized)
before taxes for a calendar quarter was -25.26% (3rd Qtr 02).

1 From 12/31/93


The Fund's average annual total returns include applicable sales charges: for Class A, the
current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%; for Class B, the contingent deferred sales
charge: of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5 years); and for Class C and Class N , the 1% contingent
deferred sales charge for the 1-year period. There is no sales charge for Class Y shares.
Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, Class B
"life-of-class" performance does not include any contingent deferred sales charge and uses
Class A performance for the period after conversion.
The returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account and assume that all dividends
and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The performance
of the Fund's Class A shares is compared to the Morgan Stanley Capital International, Inc.
(MSCI) World IndexSM, an unmanaged index of issuers listed on the stock exchanges of 20
foreign countries and the U.S. The index performance includes reinvestment of income but
does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund's investments vary
from those in the index.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

      The following tables are provided to help you understand the fees and expenses you
may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The Fund pays a variety of expenses
directly for management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other
services. Those expenses are subtracted from the Fund's assets to calculate the Fund's net
asset values per share. All shareholders therefore pay those expenses indirectly.
Shareholders pay other transaction expenses directly, such as sales charges. The numbers
below are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended September 30, 2004

 Expenses

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

Expenses may vary in future years.  "Other Expenses" include transfer agent fees,  custodial
fees,  and  accounting  and  legal  expenses  that the Fund  pays.  The  Transfer  Agent has
voluntarily  undertaken  to the Fund to limit the  transfer  agent  fees to 0.35% of average
daily net  assets  per  fiscal  year for all  classes.  That  undertaking  may be amended or
withdrawn  at any time.  For the Fund's  fiscal year ended  September  30, 2004 the transfer
agent fees did not exceed the expense limitation described above.


1.    A contingent deferred sales charge may apply to redemptions of investments of $1
   million or more ($500,000 for certain retirement plan accounts) of Class A shares. See
   "How to Buy Shares" for details.
2.    Applies to redemptions  in first year after  purchase.  The contingent  deferred sales
   charge gradually  declines from 5% to 1% in years one through six and is eliminated after
   that.
3.    Applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.
4.    Applies to shares redeemed within 18 months of a retirement plan's first purchase of
   Class N shares.
5.    The redemption fee applies to the proceeds of Fund shares that are redeemed (either
   by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund) within 30 days of their purchase.
   See "How to Sell Shares" for more information on when the redemption fee will apply.

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

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

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 In the first  example,  expenses  include  the  initial  sales  charge  for Class A and the
 applicable  Class B, Class C and Class N contingent  deferred sales charges.  In the second
 example,  the Class A expenses  include the sales charge,  but Class B, Class C and Class N
 expenses do not include  contingent  deferred  sales  charges.  There is no sales charge on
 Class Y shares.
 1. Class B expenses  for years 7 through  10 are based on Class A  expenses  since  Class B
 shares automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase.

About the Fund's Investments


THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS. The allocation of the Fund's portfolio
among different investments will vary over time based upon the Manager's evaluation of
economic and market trends. The Fund's portfolio might not always include all of the
different types of investments described in this Prospectus.  To seek growth, the Fund will
invest primarily in common stocks and may invest in securities convertible into common
stocks as well.


      The Manager tries to reduce risks by carefully researching securities before they are
purchased. The Fund attempts to reduce its exposure to market risks by diversifying its
investments, that is, by not holding a substantial amount of stock of any one company and
by not investing too great a percentage of the Fund's assets in any one issuer.  Also, the
Fund does not concentrate 25% or more of its total assets in investments in any one
industry.

      However, changes in the overall market prices of securities and the income they pay
can occur at any time. The share prices of the Fund will change daily based on changes in
market prices of securities and market conditions and in response to other economic events.
The Statement of Additional Information contains more detailed information about the Fund's
investment policies and risks.

Growth Stock Investments. In selecting stocks for their growth potential, the Fund may buy
      stocks of established foreign and domestic companies that are entering a growth cycle
      in their business, as well as newer companies that may be developing new products or
      services, expanding into new markets or products or developing new technologies.
      Current examples include companies in the fields of telecommunications, computer
      software, and new consumer products.

      Growth companies may be applying new technology, new or improved distribution
      techniques or developing new services that might enable them to capture a dominant or
      important market position. They may have a special area of expertise or the
      capability to take advantage of changes in demographic factors in a more profitable
      way than competitors.

      Growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research,
      development or investment in capital assets. Therefore, they do not tend to emphasize
      paying dividends, and may not pay any dividends for some time. They are selected for
      the Fund's portfolio because the Manager believes the price of their stock will
      increase over the long term. However, growth stocks may be more volatile than other
      stock investments. They may lose favor with investors if the issuer's business plans
      do not produce the expected results, or if growth investing falls out of favor with
      investors. Growth stocks may be subject to more volatility because of investor
      speculation about the issuer's prospects.

Foreign Securities. The foreign securities the Fund can buy include stocks and other equity
      securities of companies organized under the laws of a foreign country or companies
      that have a substantial portion of their operations or assets abroad, or derive a
      substantial portion of their revenue or profits from businesses, investments or sales
      outside the U.S. Foreign securities include securities traded primarily on foreign
      securities exchanges or in foreign over-the-counter markets. See the "Main Risks"
      section above for a description of some of the risks associated with foreign
      investing and investment in emerging market countries.

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

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

Debt Securities. When market conditions are conducive for the opportunity to seek current
      income, the Fund will invest in debt securities such as government and corporate
      bonds. The Fund may also invest in debt securities to moderate volatility. The Fund's
      investments in debt securities include U.S. government securities, foreign government
      securities, and foreign and domestic corporate bonds and debentures. The debt
      securities the Fund buys may be rated by nationally recognized rating organizations
      or they may be unrated securities assigned an equivalent credit rating by the
      Manager. The Fund's investments may be above or below investment grade in credit
      quality.

      The Fund can buy U.S. Treasury securities and securities issued or guaranteed by
      agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government, such as collateralized mortgage
      obligations (CMOs) and other mortgage-related securities. Mortgage-related securities
      are subject to additional risks of unanticipated prepayments of the underlying
      mortgages, which can affect the income stream to the Fund from those securities as
      well as their values.

      The Fund's foreign debt investments can be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign
      currencies and can include "Brady Bonds." Those are U.S. dollar-denominated debt
      securities collateralized by zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities.  They are
      typically issued by governments of developing countries and may have volatile prices
      and greater risks of default.

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

o     Interest Rate Risk. The values of debt securities are subject to change when
      prevailing interest rates change. When prevailing interest rates fall, the values of
      already-issued debt securities generally rise.  When prevailing interest rates rise,
      the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall. The magnitude of these
      fluctuations will often be greater for debt securities having longer maturities than
      for shorter-term debt securities. Securities that have been "stripped" of their
      interest coupons are very sensitive to interest rate changes.  The Fund's share
      prices can go up or down when interest rates change because of the effect of the
      changes on the value of the Fund's investments in debt securities.

o     Special Credit Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. The Fund can invest up to 25% of its
      assets in "lower-grade" securities, commonly known as "junk bonds." However, the Fund
      currently does not intend to invest more than 15% of its assets in lower-grade
      securities.

      Higher-yielding lower-grade bonds, whether rated or unrated, have greater risks than
      investment-grade securities.  They may be subject to greater market fluctuations and
      risk of loss of income and principal than investment-grade securities. There may be
      less of a market for them, making it harder to sell them at an acceptable price.
      There is a relatively greater possibility that the issuer's earnings may be
      insufficient to make the payments of interest and principal due on the bonds.  These
      risks mean that the Fund might not achieve the expected income from lower-grade
      securities and that the Fund's net asset value per share could fall because of
      declines in the value of these securities.


Other Equity Investments. The Fund invests mainly in common stocks issued by domestic or
      foreign companies that the Manager believes have appreciation potential. Equity
      securities include common stocks, preferred stocks and securities convertible into
      common stock. The Manager considers some convertible securities to be "equity
      equivalents" because of the conversion feature and in that case their credit rating
      has less impact on the investment decision than in the case of other debt securities.


Zero-Coupon and "Stripped" Securities.  Some of the U.S. government debt securities the
      Fund buys are zero-coupon bonds that pay no interest and are issued at a substantial
      discount from their face value. "Stripped" securities are the separate income or
      principal components of a debt security. Some mortgage related securities may be
      stripped, with each component having a different proportion of principal or interest
      payments. One class might receive all the interest and the other all the principal
      payments.

      Zero-coupon and stripped securities are subject to greater fluctuations in price from
      interest rate changes than interest-bearing securities. The Fund may have to pay out
      the imputed income on zero-coupon securities without receiving the actual cash
      currently. Interest-only and principal-only securities are particularly sensitive to
      changes in interest rates.


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


Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of "derivative"
      investments to seek increased returns or to try to hedge investment risks.  It does
      not do so currently to a significant degree.  In general terms, a derivative
      investment is one whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an
      underlying asset, interest rate or index. Options, futures, and forward contracts are
      examples of derivatives.

o     There are Special Risks in Using Derivative Investments. Markets underlying
      securities and indices may move in a direction not anticipated by the Manager.
      Interest rate and stock market changes in the U.S. and abroad may also influence the
      performance of derivatives. If the issuer of the derivative does not pay the amount
      due, the Fund can lose money on the investment. Also, the underlying security or
      investment on which the derivative is based, and the derivative itself, may not
      perform the way the Manager expected it to perform. If that happens, the Fund's share
      prices could decline.

      The Fund has limits on the amount of particular types of derivatives it can hold.
      However, using derivatives can cause the Fund to lose money on its investments and/or
      increase the volatility of its share prices. As a result of these risks the Fund
      could realize less principal or income from the investment than expected. Certain
      derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid.

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

      The Fund could hedge for a number of purposes. It might hedge against changes in
      securities prices, or to establish a position in the securities market as a temporary
      substitute for purchasing individual securities.  It might hedge against changing
      interest rates. Buying futures and call options would tend to increase the Fund's
      exposure to the securities markets.  Forward contracts can be used to try to manage
      foreign currency risks on the Fund's foreign investments.

      There are also special risks in particular hedging strategies. If the Manager used a
      hedging instrument at the wrong time or judged market conditions incorrectly, the
      strategy could reduce the Fund's return. The Fund could also experience losses if the
      prices of its futures and options positions were not correlated with its other
      investments or if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market.


Portfolio Turnover.  The Fund's investment process may cause the Fund to engage in active
      and frequent trading.  Therefore, the Fund may engage in short-term trading while
      trying to achieve its objective.  Increased portfolio turnover creates higher
      brokerage and transaction costs for the Fund (and may reduce performance). If the
      Fund realizes capital gains when it sells its portfolio investments, it must
      generally pay those gains out to shareholders, increasing their taxable
      distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this Prospectus shows the
      Fund's portfolio turnover rates during prior fiscal years.


Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. In times of adverse or unstable market,
economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in temporary
investments that are inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies.  These
would ordinarily be U. S. government securities, highly-rated commercial paper, bank
deposits or repurchase agreements. For cash management purposes, the Fund may hold cash
equivalents such as commercial paper, repurchase agreements, Treasury bills and other
short-term U.S. government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities
pending the investment proceeds from the sale of portfolio securities or to meet
anticipated redemptions of Fund shares. To the extent the Fund invests defensively in these
securities, it might not achieve the capital appreciation aspect of its investment
objective.

How the Fund Is Managed

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


      The Manager has operated as an investment advisor since 1960.  The Manager and its
subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than $155 billion in assets as of
September 30, 2004 including other Oppenheimer funds with more than 7 million shareholder
accounts.  The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th
Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

Portfolio Manager.  The portfolio manager and assistant portfolio manager of the Fund are
      Frank Jennings and Randall Dishmon, respectively. They are the persons principally
      responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. Mr. Jennings is a
      Vice President of the Fund and has been a Vice President of the Manager since 1995.
      Mr. Dishmon is an Assistant Vice President and Assistant Portfolio Manager of the
      Manager (since August 2004). Previously, he was an Assistant Vice President and
      Senior Research Analyst (since June 2001).  Prior to joining the Manager, he was a
      management consultant for with Booz, Allen & Hamilton (since May 1998).

Advisory Fees.  Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager an
      advisory fee at an annual rate that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows:
      0.80% of the first $250 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.77% of
      the next $250 million, 0.75% of the next $500 million, 0.69% of the next $1 billion,
      0.67% of the next $1.5 billion and 0.65% of average annual net assets in excess of
      $3.5 billion.  The Fund's management fee for the fiscal year ended September 30,
      2004, was 0.71% of average annual net assets for each class of shares.

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

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









ABOUT your account

How to Buy Shares

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


Buying Shares Through Your Dealer. You can buy shares through any dealer, broker or
      financial institution that has a sales agreement with the Distributor. Your dealer
      will place your order with the Distributor on your behalf. A broker or dealer may
      charge for that service.
Buying Shares Through the Distributor. Complete an OppenheimerFunds new account application
      and return it with a check payable to "OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc." Mail it to
      P.O. Box 5270, Denver, Colorado 80217. If you don't list a dealer on the application,
      the Distributor will act as your agent in buying the shares. However, we recommend
      that you discuss your investment with a financial advisor before you make a purchase
      to be sure that the Fund is appropriate for you.

o     Paying by Federal Funds Wire. Shares purchased through the Distributor may be paid
      for by Federal Funds wire. The minimum investment is $2,500. Before sending a wire,
      call the Distributor's Wire Department at 1.800.225.5677 to notify the Distributor of
      the wire and to receive further instructions.
o     Buying Shares Through OppenheimerFunds AccountLink. With AccountLink, you pay for
      shares by electronic funds transfers from your bank account. Shares are purchased for
      your account by a transfer of money from your bank account through the Automated
      Clearing House (ACH) system. You can provide those instructions automatically, under
      an Asset Builder Plan, described below, or by telephone instructions using
      OppenheimerFunds PhoneLink, also described below. Please refer to "AccountLink,"
      below for more details.
o     Buying Shares Through Asset Builder Plans. You may purchase shares of the Fund
      automatically each month from your account at a bank or other financial institution
      under an Asset Builder Plan with AccountLink. Details are in the Asset Builder
      Application and the Statement of Additional Information.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT YOU MUST INVEST? In most cases, you can buy Fund shares with a
minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional investments at any time with as
little as $50. There are reduced minimums available under the following special investment
plans:
o     If you establish one of the many types of retirement plan accounts that
      OppenheimerFunds offers, more fully described below under "Special Investor
      Services," you can start your account with as little as $500.
o     By using an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Exchange Plan (details are in the
      Statement of Additional Information), or government allotment plan, you can make
      subsequent investments (after making the initial investment of $500) for as little as
      $50. For any type of account established under one of these plans prior to November
      1, 2002, the minimum additional investment will remain $25.
o     The minimum investment requirement does not apply to reinvesting dividends from the
      Fund or other Oppenheimer funds (a list of them appears in the Statement of
      Additional Information, or you can ask your dealer or call the Transfer Agent), or
      reinvesting distributions from unit investment trusts that have made arrangements
      with the Distributor.

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


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

      The net asset value per share for a class of shares on a "regular business day" is
      determined by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable to that class
      by the number of shares of that class outstanding on that day.  To determine net
      asset values, the Fund assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market
      quotations.  If market quotations are not readily available or do not accurately
      reflect fair value for a security (in the Manager's judgment) or if a security's
      value has been materially affected by events occurring after the close of the
      exchange or market on which the security is principally traded, that security may be
      valued by another method that the Board of Trustees believes accurately reflects the
      fair value. Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that
      operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign
      investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

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

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

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


The Offering Price. To receive the offering price for a particular day, in most cases the
      Distributor or its designated agent must receive your order by the time the Exchange
      closes that day. If your order is received on a day when the Exchange is closed or
      after it has closed, the order will receive the next offering price that is
      determined after your order is received.
Buying Through a Dealer. If you buy shares through a dealer, your dealer must receive the
      order by the close of the Exchange and transmit it to the Distributor so that it is
      received before the Distributor's close of business on a regular business day
      (normally 5:00 P.M.) to receive that day's offering price, unless your dealer has
      made alternative arrangements with the Distributor. Otherwise, the order will receive
      the next offering price that is determined.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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


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

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

      Additionally, the dividends payable to Class B, Class C and Class N shareholders will
      be reduced by the additional expenses borne by those classes that are not borne by
      Class A or Class Y shares, such as the Class B, Class C and Class N asset-based sales
      charge described below and in the Statement of Additional Information.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Other Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers.  The Fund and the Distributor
offer other opportunities to purchase shares without front-end or contingent deferred
sales charges under the programs described below. The Fund reserves the right to
amend or discontinue these programs at any time without prior notice.
o     Dividend Reinvestment.  Dividends and/or capital gains distributions received by a
         shareholder from the Fund may be reinvested in shares of the Fund or any of
         the other Oppenheimer funds without sales charge, at the net asset value per
         share in effect on the payable date. You must notify the Transfer Agent in
         writing to elect this option and must have an existing account in the fund
         selected for reinvestment.
o     Exchanges of Shares.  Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of certain other
         Oppenheimer funds at net asset value per share at the time of exchange,
         without sales charge, and shares of the Fund can be purchased by exchange of
         shares of certain other Oppenheimer funds on the same basis. Please refer to
         "How to Exchange Shares" in this Prospectus and in the Statement of
         Additional Information for more details, including a discussion of
         circumstances in which sales charges may apply on exchanges.
o     Reinvestment Privilege.  Within six months of a redemption of certain Class A and
         Class B shares, the proceeds may be reinvested in Class A shares of the Fund
         without sales charge. This privilege applies to redemptions of Class A
         shares that were subject to an initial sales charge or Class A or Class B
         shares that were subject to a contingent deferred sales charge when
         redeemed. The investor must ask the Transfer Agent for that privilege at the
         time of reinvestment and must identify the account from which the redemption
         was made.
o     Other Special Reductions and Waivers. The Fund and the Distributor offer additional
         arrangements to reduce or eliminate front-end sales charges or to waive
         contingent deferred sales charges for certain types of transactions and for
         certain classes of investors (primarily retirement plans that purchase
         shares in special programs through the Distributor). These are described in
         greater detail in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional Information,
         which is also available on the OppenheimerFunds website, at
         www.oppenheimerfunds.com (under the hyperlinks "Access Accounts and Services
         ------------------------
         - Investor Service Center"). To receive a waiver or special sales charge
         rate under these programs, the purchaser must notify the Distributor (or
         other financial intermediary through which shares are being purchased) at
         the time of purchase or notify the Transfer Agent at the time of redeeming
         shares for those waivers that apply to contingent deferred sales charges.
o     Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans. There is no initial sales charge on purchases
         of Class A shares of the Fund by (1) retirement plans that have $10 million
         or more in plan assets and that have entered into a special agreement with
         the Distributor and by (2) retirement plans that are part of a retirement
         plan product or platform offered by banks, broker-dealers, financial
         advisors, insurance companies or record-keepers that have entered into a
         special agreement with the Distributor for this purpose. The Distributor
         currently pays dealers of record concessions in an amount equal to 0.25% of
         the purchase price of Class A shares by those retirement plans from its own
         resources at the time of sale, subject to certain exceptions described in
         "Retirement Plans" in the Statement of Additional Information. No contingent
         deferred sales charge is charged upon the redemption of such shares.

Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. There is no initial sales charge on
      purchases of Class A shares of any one or more of the Oppenheimer funds
      aggregating $1 million or more, or on purchases of Class A shares by
      certain retirement plans that satisfied certain requirements prior to
      March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts").  However, those Class
      A shares may be subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge, as
      described below.  Retirement plans holding shares of Oppenheimer funds in
      an  omnibus account(s) for the benefit of plan participants in the name of
      a fiduciary or financial intermediary (other than
      OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single DB Plus plans) are not permitted to make
      initial purchases of Class A shares subject to a contingent deferred sales
      charge.

      The Distributor pays dealers of record concessions in an amount equal to 1.0% of
      purchases of $1 million or more other than purchases by grandfathered retirement
      accounts.  For grandfathered retirement accounts, the concession is 0.75% of the
      first $2.5 million of purchases plus 0.25% of purchases in excess of $2.5 million.
      In either case, the concession will not be paid on purchases of shares by exchange or
      that were previously subject to a front-end sales charge and dealer concession.


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Class N shares are sold at net asset value without an initial sales charge. A
contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be imposed upon the redemption of Class N
shares, if:
o     The group retirement plan is terminated or Class N shares of all Oppenheimer funds
      are terminated as an investment option of the plan and Class N shares are redeemed
      within 18 months after the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer
      fund, or
o     With respect to an IRA or 403(b) plan, Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months
      of the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund.

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


Who Can Buy Class Y Shares? Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share without a
sales charge directly to institutional investors that have special agreements with the
Distributor for this purpose. They may include insurance companies, registered investment
companies, employee benefit plans and Section 529 plans, among others. Individual investors
cannot buy Class Y shares directly.


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


DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS.

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

How to Sell Shares


You can sell (redeem) some or all of your shares on any regular business day. Your shares
will be sold at the next net asset value calculated after your order is received in proper
form (which means that it must comply with the procedures described below) and is accepted
by the Transfer Agent. The Fund lets you sell your shares by writing a letter, by wire, or
by telephone. You can also set up Automatic Withdrawal Plans to redeem shares on a regular
basis. If you have questions about any of these procedures, and especially if you are
redeeming shares in a special situation, such as due to the death of the owner or from a
retirement plan account, please call the Transfer Agent first, at 1.800.225.5677, for
assistance.

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


      The redemption fee is not imposed on shares:

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


Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee. To protect you and the Fund from fraud, the
      following redemption requests must be in writing and must include a signature
      guarantee (although there may be other situations that also require a signature
      guarantee):
   o  You wish to redeem more than $100,000 and receive a check
   o  The redemption check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the account
      statement
   o  The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account statement
   o  Shares are being transferred to a Fund account with a different owner or name
   o  Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor) other than the owners.

Where Can You Have Your Signature Guaranteed? The Transfer Agent will accept a guarantee of
      your signature by a number of financial institutions, including:
o     a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
o     a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
o     a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or government
      securities, or
o     a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities association or a
      clearing agency.
      If you are signing on behalf of a corporation, partnership or other business or as a
      fiduciary, you must also include your title in the signature.

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


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



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

Use the following address for            Send courier or express mail
requests by mail:                        requests to:
OppenheimerFunds Services                OppenheimerFunds Services
P.O. Box 5270                            10200 E. Girard Avenue, Building D
Denver, Colorado 80217                   Denver, Colorado 80231

HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY TELEPHONE? You and your dealer representative of record may also
sell your shares by telephone. To receive the redemption price calculated on a particular
regular business day, your call must be received by the Transfer Agent by the close of the
Exchange that day, which is normally 4:00 P.M., but may be earlier on some days. You may
not redeem shares held in an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored qualified retirement plan account
or under a share certificate by telephone.
   o  To redeem shares through a service representative or automatically on PhoneLink, call
      1.800.225.5677.
      Whichever method you use, you may have a check sent to the address on the account
statement, or, if you have linked your Fund account to your bank account on AccountLink,
you may have the proceeds sent to that bank account.

Are There Limits on Amounts Redeemed by Telephone?
Telephone Redemptions Paid by Check. Up to $100,000 may be redeemed by telephone in any
      seven-day period. The check must be payable to all owners of record of the shares and
      must be sent to the address on the account statement. This service is not available
      within 30 days of changing the address on an account.


Telephone Redemptions Through AccountLink or by Wire. There are no dollar limits on
      telephone redemption proceeds sent to a bank account designated when you establish
      AccountLink. Normally the ACH transfer to your bank is initiated on the business day
      after the redemption. You do not receive dividends on the proceeds of the shares you
      redeemed while they are waiting to be transferred.

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


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

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

      A contingent  deferred sales charge will be based on the lesser of the net asset value
of the  redeemed  shares  at the time of  redemption  or the  original  net asset  value.  A
contingent deferred sales charge is not imposed on:
o     the amount of your account  value  represented  by an increase in net asset value over
      the initial purchase price,
o     shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, or
o     shares redeemed in the special circumstances  described in Appendix C to the Statement
      of Additional Information.
      To determine whether a contingent deferred sales charge applies to a redemption, the
Fund redeems shares in the following order:
   1. shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions,
   2. shares held for the holding period that applies to the class, and
   3. shares held the longest during the holding period.

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

How to Exchange Shares

To exchange shares, you must meet several conditions:
   o  Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of
      residence.
   o  The prospectuses of both funds must offer the exchange privilege.
   o  You must hold the shares you buy when you establish your account for at least seven

      days before you can exchange them. After the account is open seven days, you can
      exchange shares any regular business day.

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

      You can find a list of Oppenheimer funds currently available for exchanges in the
Statement of Additional Information or obtain one by calling a service representative at
1.800.225.5677. That list can change from time to time.

HOW DO you SUBMIT EXCHANGE REQUESTS? Exchanges may be requested in writing or by telephone:

Written Exchange Requests. Submit an OppenheimerFunds Exchange Request form, signed by all
      owners of the account. Send it to the Transfer Agent at the address on the back
      cover. Exchanges of shares held under certificates cannot be processed unless the
      Transfer Agent receives the certificates with the request.
Telephone  Exchange  Requests.  Telephone  exchange requests may be made either by calling a
      service  representative  or by using  PhoneLink  for  automated  exchanges  by calling
      1.800.225.5677.  Telephone  exchanges  may be made  only  between  accounts  that  are
      registered with the same name(s) and address.  Shares held under  certificates may not
      be exchanged by telephone.


ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON EXCHANGES? There are certain exchange policies you should be aware
of:
o     Shares are redeemed from one fund and are normally purchased from the other fund in
      the same transaction on the same regular business day on which the Transfer Agent or
      its agent (such as a financial intermediary holding the investor's shares in an
      omnibus account) receives an exchange request that conforms to the policies described
      above.  It must be received by the close of The New York Stock Exchange that day,
      which is normally 4:00 P.M. but may be earlier on some days.  The Transfer Agent may
      delay the reinvestment of the proceeds of an exchange up to seven days if it
      determines in its discretion that an earlier transmittal of the redemption proceeds
      to the receiving fund would be detrimental to the Fund from which the exchange is
      made or to the receiving fund.
o     The interests of the Fund's shareholders and the Fund's ability to manage its
      investments may be adversely affected when its shares are repeatedly exchanged
      over the short term.  When large dollar amounts are involved, the Fund's
      implementation of its investment strategies may be negatively affected or the
      Fund might have to raise or retain more cash than the portfolio manager would
      normally retain, to meet unanticipated redemptions.  Frequent exchange activity
      also may force the Fund to sell portfolio securities at disadvantageous times
      to raise the cash needed to meet those exchange requests.  These factors might
      hurt the Fund's performance.  When the Transfer Agent in its discretion
      believes frequent trading activity by any person, group or account would have a
      disruptive effect on the Fund's ability to manage its investments, the Fund and
      the Transfer Agent may reject purchase orders and/or exchanges into the Fund.
      The history of exchange activity in all accounts known by the Transfer Agent to
      be under common ownership or control within the Oppenheimer funds complex may
      be considered by the Transfer Agent, with respect to the review of exchanges
      involving this Fund as part of the Transfer Agent's procedures to detect and
      deter excessive exchange activity.  The Transfer Agent may permit exchanges
      that it believes in the exercise of its judgment are not disruptive.  The
      Transfer Agent might not be able to detect frequent exchange activity conducted
      by the underlying owners of shares held in omnibus accounts, and therefore
      might not be able to effectively prevent frequent exchange activity in those
      accounts.  There is no guarantee that the Transfer Agent's controls and
      procedures will be successful to identify investors who engage in excessive
      trading activity or to curtail that activity.

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

   o  The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. The Fund
      may refuse any exchange order and is currently not obligated to provide notice before
      rejecting an exchange order.
   o  If the Transfer Agent cannot exchange all the shares you request because of a
      restriction cited above, only the shares eligible for exchange will be exchanged.

o     The Fund assesses a 2% fee on the proceeds of Fund shares that are redeemed (either
      by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund) within 30 days of their
      purchase. Further details are set forth following the first paragraph under "How to
      Sell Shares" on page 28.


Shareholder Account Rules and Policies


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

The offering of shares may be suspended during any period in which the determination of net
      asset value is suspended, and the offering may be suspended by the Board of Trustees
      at any time the Board believes it is in the Fund's best interest to do so.
Telephone transaction privileges for purchases, redemptions or exchanges may be modified,
      suspended or terminated by the Fund at any time. The Fund will provide you notice
      whenever it is required to do so by applicable law. If an account has more than one
      owner, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may rely on the instructions of any one owner.
      Telephone privileges apply to each owner of the account and the dealer representative
      of record for the account unless the Transfer Agent receives cancellation
      instructions from an owner of the account.
The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning transactions
      and has adopted other procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine,
      by requiring callers to provide tax identification numbers and other account data or
      by using PINs, and by confirming such transactions in writing. The Transfer Agent and
      the Fund will not be liable for losses or expenses arising out of telephone
      instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
Redemption or transfer requests will not be honored until the Transfer Agent receives all
      required documents in proper form. From time to time, the Transfer Agent in its
      discretion may waive certain of the requirements for redemptions stated in this
      Prospectus.
Dealers that perform account transactions for their clients by participating in NETWORKING
      through the National Securities Clearing Corporation are responsible for obtaining
      their clients' permission to perform those transactions, and are responsible to their
      clients who are shareholders of the Fund if the dealer performs any transaction
      erroneously or improperly.
The redemption price for shares will vary from day to day because the value of the
      securities in the Fund's portfolio fluctuates. The redemption price, which is the net
      asset value per share, will normally differ for each class of shares. The redemption
      value of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.

Payment for redeemed shares ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by check, or
      through AccountLink or by Federal Funds wire (as elected by the shareholder) within
      seven days after the Transfer Agent receives redemption instructions in proper form.
      However, under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange
      Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. For accounts registered in the name
      of a broker-dealer, payment will normally be forwarded within three business days
      after redemption.

The Transfer Agent may delay processing any type of redemption payment as described under
      "How to Sell Shares" for recently purchased shares, but only until the purchase
      payment has cleared. That delay may be as much as 10 days from the date the shares
      were purchased. That delay may be avoided if you purchase shares by Federal Funds
      wire or certified check, or arrange with your bank to provide telephone or written
      assurance to the Transfer Agent that your purchase payment has cleared.

Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the account value has
      fallen below $200 for reasons other than the fact that the market value of shares has
      dropped. In some cases, involuntary redemptions may be made to repay the Distributor
      for losses from the cancellation of share purchase orders.

Shares may be "redeemed in kind" under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity
      in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions). This means that the redemption proceeds
      will be paid with liquid securities from the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund redeems
      your shares in kind, you may bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until
      such time as such securities are converted into cash.
Federal regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of birth (for a
      natural person), your residential street address or principal place of business and
      your Social Security Number, Employer Identification Number or other government
      issued identification when you open an account. Additional information may be
      required in certain circumstances or to open corporate accounts.  The Fund or the
      Transfer Agent may use this information to attempt to verify your identity.  The Fund
      may not be able to establish an account if the necessary information is not
      received.  The Fund may also place limits on account transactions while it is in the
      process of attempting to verify your identity.  Additionally, if the Fund is unable
      to verify your identity after your account is established, the Fund may be required
      to redeem your shares and close your account.
"Backup withholding" of federal income tax may be applied against taxable dividends,
      distributions and redemption proceeds (including exchanges) if you fail to furnish
      the Fund your correct, certified Social Security or Employer Identification Number
      when you sign your application, or if you under-report your income to the Internal
      Revenue Service.
To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Fund will mail only one
      copy of each prospectus, annual and semi-annual report and annual notice of the
      Fund's privacy policy to shareholders having the same last name and address on the
      Fund's records. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits
      the Fund through reduced mailing expense.

      If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call the Transfer
      Agent at 1.800.225.5677. You may also notify the Transfer Agent in writing.
      Individual copies of prospectuses, reports and privacy notices will be sent to you
      commencing within 30 days after the Transfer Agent receives your request to stop
      householding.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes


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


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

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


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


      If more than 50% of the Fund's assets are invested in foreign securities at the end
of any fiscal year, the Fund may elect under the Internal Revenue Code to permit
shareholders to take a credit or deduction on their federal income tax returns for foreign
taxes paid by the Fund.

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


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

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

Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions. Because the Fund's share prices fluctuate,
      you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or exchange your shares. A capital
      gain or loss is the difference between the price you paid for the shares and the
      price you received when you sold them. Any capital gain is subject to capital gains
      tax.
Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the Fund may be
      considered a non-taxable return of capital to shareholders. If that occurs, it will
      be identified in notices to shareholders.

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

Financial Highlights


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

ABOUT The FUnd

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

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


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


      In selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio, the Manager evaluates
the merits of particular equity and fixed-income securities primarily through
the exercise of its own investment analysis. 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.

|X|   Investments in Equity Securities. The Fund focuses its investments in
equity securities of both U.S. companies and foreign countries. Equity
securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and
securities convertible into common stock.  The Fund's investments can include
stocks of companies in any market capitalization range, if the Manager believes
the investment is consistent with the Fund's objective, including the
preservation of principal.  Certain equity securities may be selected not only
for their appreciation possibilities but because they may provide dividend
income.

      Small-cap growth companies may offer greater opportunities for capital
appreciation than securities of large, more established companies.  However,
these securities also involve greater risks than securities of larger
companies.  Securities of small capitalization issuers may be subject to
greater price volatility in general than securities of large-cap and mid-cap
companies.  Therefore, to the degree that the Fund has investments in smaller
capitalization companies at times of market volatility, the Fund's share price
may fluctuate more.  Those investments may be limited to the extent the Manager
believes that such investments would be inconsistent with the Fund's objective
of reservation of principal.  As noted below, the Fund limits investments in
unseasoned small cap issuers.

o     Growth Companies.  The Fund may invest in securities of "growth"
companies.  Growth companies are those companies that the Manager believes are
entering into a growth cycle in their business, with the expectation that their
stock will increase in value.  They may be
established companies as well as newer companies in the development stage.
Growth companies may have a variety of characteristics that in the Manager's
view define them as "growth" issuers.

      They may be generating or applying new technologies, new or improved
distribution techniques or new services. They may own or develop natural
resources.  They may be companies that can benefit from changing consumer
demands or lifestyles, or companies that have projected earnings in excess of
the average for their sector or industry.  In each case, they have prospects
that the Manager believes are favorable for the long term. The portfolio
manager of the Fund looks for growth companies with strong, capable management
sound financial and accounting policies, successful product development and
marketing and other factors.


o     Convertible Securities.  The value of a convertible security is a
function  of its "investment value" and its "conversion value."  If the
investment value exceeds the conversion value, the security will behave more
like a debt security and the security's price will likely increase when
prevailing interest rates fall and decrease when prevailing interest rates
rise.  If the conversion value exceeds the investment value, the security will
behave more like an equity security.  In that case, it will likely sell at a
premium over its conversion value and its price will tend to fluctuate directly
with the price of the underlying security.

      While some convertible securities are a form of debt security, in many
cases their conversion feature (allowing conversion into equity securities)
causes them to be regarded by the Manager more as "equity equivalents."  As a
result, the credit rating assigned to the security has less impact on the
Manager's investment decision than in the case of non-convertible fixed-income
securities.


      To determine whether convertible securities should be regarded as "equity
equivalents," the Manager examines the following factors:
(1)   whether, at the option of the investor, the convertible security can be
         exchanged for a fixed number of shares of common stock of the issuer,
(2)   whether the issuer of the convertible securities has restated its
         earnings per share of common stock on a fully diluted basis
         (considering the effect of conversion of the convertible securities),
         and
(3)   the extent to which the convertible security may be a defensive "equity
         substitute," providing the ability to participate in any appreciation
         in the price of the issuer's common stock.

o     Rights and Warrants.  The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets
in warrants or rights.  That limit does not apply to warrants and rights the
Fund has acquired as part of units of securities or that are attached to other
securities that the Fund buys.  The Fund does not expect that its investments
in warrants and rights will exceed 5% of its net assets.

      Warrants basically are options to purchase equity securities at specific
prices valid for a specific period of time.  Their prices do not necessarily
move parallel to the prices of the underlying securities.  Rights are similar
to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are distributed directly by
the issuer to its shareholders.  Rights and warrants have no voting rights,
receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the
issuer.

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


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


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

|X|   Foreign Securities.  The Fund expects to have substantial investments in
foreign securities.  These include equity securities issued by foreign
companies and debt securities issued or guaranteed by foreign companies or
governments, including supra-national entities.  "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
governments other than the U.S. government or by foreign supra-national
entities.  They 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.  They may be
traded on foreign securities exchanges or in the foreign over-the-counter
markets.

      Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American Depository
Receipts or that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange or traded in the U.S.
over-the-counter markets are considered "foreign securities" for the purpose of
the Fund's investment allocations. They are subject to some of the special
considerations and risks, discussed below, that apply to foreign securities
traded and held abroad.

      Because the Fund may purchase securities denominated in foreign
currencies, a change in the value of such foreign currency against the U.S.
dollar will result in a change in the amount of income the Fund has available
for distribution.  Because a portion of the Fund's investment income may be
received in foreign currencies, the Fund will be required to compute its income
in U.S. dollars for distribution to shareholders, and therefore the Fund will
absorb the cost of currency fluctuations.  After the Fund has distributed
income, subsequent foreign currency losses may result in the Fund's having
distributed more income in a particular fiscal period than was available from
investment income, which could result in a return of capital to shareholders.
      Investing in foreign securities offers potential benefits not available
from investing solely in securities of domestic issuers. They include the
opportunity to invest in foreign issuers that appear to offer growth potential,
or in foreign countries with economic policies or business cycles different
from those of the U.S., or to reduce fluctuations in portfolio value by taking
advantage of foreign stock markets that do not move in a manner parallel to
U.S. markets. The Fund will hold foreign currency only in connection with the
purchase or sale of foreign securities.

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

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

      The Fund can invest in U.S. dollar-denominated "Brady Bonds." These
foreign debt obligations may be fixed-rate par bonds or floating-rate discount
bonds. They are generally collateralized in full as to repayment of principal
at maturity by U.S. Treasury zero-coupon obligations that have the same
maturity as the Brady Bonds.  Brady Bonds can be viewed as having three or four
valuation components: (i) the collateralized repayment of principal at final
maturity; (ii) the collateralized interest payments; (iii) the uncollateralized
interest payments; and (iv) any uncollateralized repayment of principal at
maturity. Those uncollateralized amounts constitute what is called the
"residual risk."

      If there is a default on collateralized Brady Bonds resulting in
acceleration of the payment obligations of the issuer, the zero-coupon U.S.
Treasury securities held as collateral for the payment of principal will not be
distributed to investors, nor will those obligations be sold to distribute the
proceeds.  The collateral will be held by the collateral agent to the scheduled
maturity of the defaulted Brady Bonds. The defaulted bonds will continue to
remain outstanding, and the face amount of the collateral will equal the
principal payments which would have then been due on the Brady Bonds in the
normal course.  Because of the residual risk of Brady Bonds and the history of
defaults with respect to commercial bank loans by public and private entities
of countries issuing Brady Bonds, Brady Bonds are considered speculative
investments.

o     Risks of Foreign Investing.  Investments in foreign securities may offer
special opportunities for investing but also present special additional risks
and considerations not typically associated with investments in domestic
securities. Some of these additional risks are:
o     reduction of income by foreign taxes;

o     fluctuation in value of foreign investments due to changes in currency
               rates, currency devaluation or currency control regulations (for
               example, currency blockage);

o     transaction charges for currency exchange;
o     lack of public information about foreign issuers;
o     lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards in
               foreign countries comparable to those applicable to domestic
               issuers;
o     less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;
o     greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the
               U.S.;
o     less governmental regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and
               brokers than in the U.S.;
o     greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;
o     higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;
o     increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio transactions or loss
               of certificates for portfolio securities;
o     possibilities in some countries of expropriation, confiscatory taxation,
               political, financial or social instability or adverse diplomatic
               developments; and
o     unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.

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

o     Special Risks of Emerging Markets. Emerging and developing markets abroad
may also offer special opportunities for growth investing but have greater
risks than more developed foreign markets, such as those in Europe, Canada,
Australia, New Zealand and Japan. There may be even less liquidity in their
securities markets, and settlements of purchases and sales of securities may be
subject to additional delays. They are subject to greater risks of limitations
on the repatriation of income and profits because of currency restrictions
imposed by local governments. Those countries may also be subject to the risk
of greater political and economic instability, which can greatly affect the
volatility of prices of securities in those countries. The Manager will
consider these factors when evaluating securities in these markets, because the
selection of those securities must be consistent with the Fund's goal of
preservation of principal.

      The Fund may invest in securities of issuers of Eastern European
countries. The social, political and economic reforms in most Eastern European
countries are still in their early stages, and there can be no assurance that
these reforms will continue. Eastern European countries in many cases do not
have a sophisticated or well-established capital market structure for the sale
and trading of securities.  Participation in the investment markets in some of
those countries may be available initially or solely through investment in
joint ventures, state enterprises, private placements, unlisted securities or
other similar illiquid investment vehicles.

      In addition, although investment  opportunities may exist in Eastern
European countries, any change in the leadership or policies of the governments
of those countries, or changes in the leadership or policies of any other
government that exercises a significant influence over those
countries, may halt the expansion of or reverse the liberalization of foreign
investment policies now occurring. As a result investment opportunities which
may currently exist may be threatened.

      The prior authoritarian governments of a number of the Eastern European
countries previously expropriated large amounts of real and personal property,
which may include property which will be represented by or held by entities
issuing the securities the Fund might wish to purchase.  In many cases, the
claims of the prior property owners against those governments were never
finally settled.  There can be no assurance that any property represented by or
held by entities issuing securities purchased by the Fund will not also be
expropriated, nationalized, or confiscated.  If that property were confiscated,
the Fund could lose a substantial portion of its investments in such
countries.  The Fund's investments could also be adversely affected by exchange
control regulations imposed in any of those countries.

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

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

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


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


|X|   Portfolio Turnover.  "Portfolio turnover" describes the rate at which the
Fund traded its portfolio securities during its last fiscal year.  For example,
if a fund sold all of its securities during the year, its portfolio turnover
rate would have been 100%. The Fund's portfolio turnover
rate will fluctuate from year to year, and the Fund may have a portfolio
turnover rate of more than 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover creates
higher brokerage and transaction costs for the Fund, which may reduce its
overall performance. Additionally, the realization of capital gains from
selling portfolio securities may result in distributions of taxable long-term
capital gains to shareholders, since the Fund will normally distribute all of
its capital gains realized each year, to avoid excise taxes under the Internal
Revenue Code.

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

|X|   Debt Securities. The Fund can invest in a variety of domestic and foreign
debt securities for current income. Foreign debt securities are subject to the
risks of foreign securities described above. In general, domestic and foreign
fixed-income securities are also subject to two additional types of risk:
credit risk and interest rate risk.

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

      The Fund's debt investments can include investment-grade and
non-investment-grade bonds (commonly referred to as "junk bonds").
Investment-grade bonds are bonds rated at least "Baa" by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc., at least "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services or Fitch,
Inc., or have comparable ratings by another nationally recognized statistical
rating organization.

      In making investments in debt securities, the Manager may rely to some
extent on the ratings of ratings organizations or it may use its own research
to evaluate a security's credit-worthiness.  If the securities are unrated, to
be considered part of the Fund's holdings of investment-grade securities, they
must be judged by the Manager to be of comparable quality to bonds rated as
investment grade by a rating organization.

o     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.

         Fluctuations in the market value of fixed-income securities after the
Fund buys them will not affect the interest payable on those securities, nor
the cash income from them.  However, those price fluctuations will be reflected
in the valuations of the securities, and therefore the Fund's net asset values
will be affected by those fluctuations.

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

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

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

o     Mortgage-Related U.S. Government Securities. These include interests in
pools of residential or commercial mortgages, in the form of collateralized
mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and other "pass-through" mortgage securities.
CMOs that are U.S. government securities have collateral to secure payment of
interest and principal. They may be issued in different series with different
interest rates and maturities. The collateral is either in the form of mortgage
pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency or
instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a U.S. government agency. The Fund
can have significant amounts of its assets invested in mortgage related U.S.
government securities.

      The prices and yields of CMOs are determined, in part, by assumptions
about the cash flows from the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages.
Changes in interest rates may cause the rate of expected prepayments of those
mortgages to change. In general, prepayments increase when general interest
rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise.

      If prepayments of mortgages underlying a CMO occur faster than expected
when interest rates fall, the market value and yield of the CMO will be
reduced. Additionally, the Fund may
have to reinvest the prepayment proceeds in other securities paying interest at
lower rates, which could reduce the Fund's yield.

      When interest rates rise rapidly, if prepayments occur more slowly than
expected, a short- or medium-term CMO can in effect become a long-term
security, subject to greater fluctuations in value. These are the prepayment
risks described above and can make the prices of CMOs very volatile when
interest rates change. The prices of longer-term debt securities tend to
fluctuate more than those of shorter-term debt securities. That volatility will
affect the Fund's share prices.

o     Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. While it is not anticipated
currently that the Fund will invest a substantial portion of its assets in
lower-grade debt securities, the Fund can do so to seek current income. Because
lower-grade securities tend to offer higher yields than investment grade
securities, the Fund may invest in lower-grade securities if the Manager is
trying to achieve greater income. In some cases, the appreciation possibilities
of lower-grade securities may be a reason they are selected for the Fund's
portfolio. However, these investments will be made only when consistent with
the goal of preservation of principal that is part of the Fund's objective.

      The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in "lower grade" debt
securities but the Manager does not intend currently to invest more than 15% of
the Fund's total assets in securities rated below "BBB" or "Baa." "Lower-grade"
debt securities are those rated below "investment grade" which means they have
a rating lower than "Baa" by Moody's or lower than "BBB" by Standard & Poor's
or Fitch, Inc., or similar ratings by other rating organizations. If they are
unrated, and are determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality to debt
securities rated below investment grade, they are included in limitation on the
percentage of  the Fund's assets that can be invested in lower-grade
securities.  The Fund can invest in securities rated as low as "C" or "D" or
which may be in default at the time the Fund buys them.

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

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

      While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by Standard & Poor's or
Fitch, Inc. are investment grade and are not regarded as junk bonds, those
securities may be subject to
special risks, and have some speculative characteristics. A description of the
debt security ratings definitions of the principal rating organizations is
included in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information.

|X|   Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fund may buy zero-coupon and delayed interest
securities, and "stripped" securities. Stripped securities are debt securities
whose interest coupons are separated from the security and sold separately.
The Fund can buy different types of zero-coupon or stripped securities,
including, among others, U.S. Treasury notes or bonds that have been stripped
of their interest coupons, U.S. Treasury bills issued without interest coupons,
and certificates representing interests in stripped securities.

      Zero-coupon securities do not make periodic interest payments and are
sold at a deep discount from their face value. The buyer recognizes a rate of
return determined by the gradual appreciation of the security, which is
redeemed at face value on a specified maturity date.  This discount depends on
the time remaining until maturity, as well as prevailing interest rates, the
liquidity of the security and the credit quality of the issuer.  In the absence
of threats to the issuer's credit quality, the discount typically decreases as
the maturity date approaches.  Some zero-coupon securities are convertible, in
that they are zero-coupon securities until a predetermined date, at which time
they convert to a security with a specified coupon rate.

      Because zero-coupon securities pay no interest and compound semi-annually
at the rate fixed at the time of their issuance, their value is generally more
volatile than the value of other debt securities.  Their value may fall more
dramatically than the value of interest-bearing securities when interest rates
rise.  When prevailing interest rates fall, zero-coupon securities tend to rise
more rapidly in value because they have a fixed rate of return.

      The Fund's investment in zero-coupon securities may cause the Fund to
recognize income and make distributions to shareholders before it receives any
cash payments on the zero-coupon investment.  To generate cash to satisfy those
distribution requirements, the Fund may have to sell portfolio securities that
it otherwise might have continued to hold or to use cash flows from other
sources such as the sale of Fund shares.

|X|   Commercial (Privately-Issued) Mortgage Related Securities. The Fund may
invest in commercial mortgage related securities issued by private entities.
Generally these are multi-class debt or pass through certificates secured by
mortgage loans on commercial properties. They are subject to the credit risk of
the issuer. These securities typically are structured to provide protection to
investors in senior classes from possible losses on the underlying loans. They
do so by having holders of subordinated classes take the first loss if there
are defaults on the underlying loans. They may also be protected to some extent
by guarantees, reserve funds or additional collateralization mechanisms.

|X|   "Stripped" Mortgage Related Securities. The Fund may invest in stripped
mortgage-related securities that are created by segregating the cash flows from
underlying mortgage loans or mortgage securities to create two or more new
securities. Each has a specified percentage of the underlying security's
principal or interest payments. These are a form of derivative investment.

      Mortgage securities may be partially stripped so that each class receives
some interest and some principal. However, they may be completely stripped. In
that case all of the interest is distributed to holders of one type of
security, known as an "interest-only" security, or "I/O," and all of the
principal is distributed to holders of another type of security, known as a
"principal-only" security or "P/O." Strips can be created for pass through
certificates or CMOs.

      The yields to maturity of I/Os and P/Os are very sensitive to principal
repayments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgages. If the
underlying mortgages experience greater than anticipated prepayments of
principal, the Fund might not fully recoup its investment in an I/O based on
those assets. If underlying mortgages experience less than anticipated
prepayments of principal, the yield on the P/Os based on them could decline
substantially.  The market for some of these securities may be limited, making
it difficult for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price.

|X|   Floating Rate and Variable Rate Obligations. Variable rate demand
obligations have a demand feature that allows the Fund to tender the obligation
to the issuer or a third party prior to its maturity. The tender may be at par
value plus accrued interest, according to the terms of the obligations.

      The interest rate on a floating rate demand note is based on a stated
prevailing market rate, such as a bank's prime rate, the 91-day U.S. Treasury
Bill rate, or some other standard, and is adjusted automatically each time such
rate is adjusted.  The interest rate on a variable rate demand note is also
based on a stated prevailing market rate but is adjusted automatically at
specified intervals of not less than one year.  Generally, the changes in the
interest rate on such securities reduce the fluctuation in their market value.
As interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation
or depreciation is less than that for fixed-rate obligations of the same
maturity. The Manager may determine that an unrated floating rate or variable
rate demand obligation meets the Fund's quality standards by reason of being
backed by a letter of credit or guarantee issued by a bank that meets those
quality standards.

      Floating rate and variable rate demand notes that have a stated maturity
in excess of one year may have features that permit the holder to recover the
principal amount of the underlying security at specified intervals not
exceeding one year and upon no more than 30 days' notice.  The issuer of that
type of note normally has a corresponding right in its discretion, after a
given period, to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the note plus
accrued interest. Generally the issuer must provide a specified number of days'
notice to the holder.

|X|   Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund may invest in
securities of small, unseasoned companies.  These are companies that have been
in operation for less than three years, including the operations of any
predecessors.  Securities of these companies may be subject to volatility in
their prices. They may have a limited trading market, which may adversely
affect the Fund's ability to dispose of them and can reduce the price the Fund
might be able to obtain for them. Other investors that own a security issued by
a small, unseasoned issuer for which there is limited liquidity might trade the
security when the Fund is attempting to dispose of its holdings of that
security. In that case the Fund might receive a lower price for its holdings
than might otherwise be obtained. The Fund may not invest more than 5% of its
net assets in those securities.
|X|   Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs). The Fund can invest in real estate
investment trusts, as well as real estate development companies and operating
companies. It can also buy shares of companies engaged in other real estate
businesses. REITs are trusts that sell shares to investors and use the proceeds
to invest in real estate. A REIT can focus on a particular project, such as a
shopping center or apartment complex, or may buy many properties or properties
located in a particular geographic region.

      To the extent a REIT focuses on a particular project, sector of the real
estate market or geographic region, its share price will be affected by
economic and political events affecting that project, sector or geographic
region. Property values may fall due to increasing vacancies or declining rents
resulting from unanticipated economic, legal, cultural or technological
developments. REIT prices also may drop because of the failure of borrowers to
pay their loans, a dividend cut, a disruption to the real estate investment
sales market, changes in federal or state taxation policies affecting REITs,
and poor management.

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

      When such transactions are negotiated, the price (which is generally
expressed in yield terms) is fixed at the time the commitment is made.
Delivery and payment for the securities take place at a later date (generally
within 45 days of the date the offer is accepted).  The securities are subject
to change in value from market fluctuations during the period until settlement.
The value at delivery may be less than the purchase price. For example, changes
in interest rates in a direction other than that expected by the Manager before
settlement will affect the value of such securities and may cause a loss to the
Fund. During the period between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by
the Fund to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Fund from the
investment.  No income begins to accrue to the Fund on a when-issued security
until the Fund receives the security at settlement of the trade.

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

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

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

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

|X|   Participation Interests.  The Fund may invest in participation interests,
subject to the Fund's limitation on investments in illiquid investments.  A
participation interest is an undivided interest in a loan made by the issuing
financial institution in the proportion that the buyers participation interest
bears to the total principal amount of the loan.  No more than 5% of the Fund's
net assets can be invested in participation interests of the same borrower.
The issuing financial institution may have no obligation to the Fund other than
to pay the Fund the proportionate amount of the principal and interest payments
it receives.

      Participation interests are primarily dependent upon the creditworthiness
of the borrowing corporation, which is obligated to make payments of principal
and interest on the loan. There is a risk that a borrower may have difficulty
making payments.  If a borrower fails to pay scheduled interest or principal
payments, the Fund could experience a reduction in its income. The value of
that participation interest might also decline, which could affect the net
asset value of the Fund's shares. If the issuing financial institution fails to
perform its obligations under the participation agreement, the Fund might incur
costs and delays in realizing payment and suffer a loss of principal and/or
interest.

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

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

      The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery
pursuant to the resale typically occurs within one to five days of the
purchase. Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are subject
to the Fund's limits on holding illiquid investments. The Fund will not enter
into a repurchase agreement that causes more than 10% of its net assets to be
subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days. There is
no limit on the amount of the Fund's net assets that may be subject to
repurchase agreements having maturities of seven days or less.

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

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

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

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


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


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

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

      Illiquid securities include repurchase agreements maturing in more than
seven days and participation interests that do not have puts exercisable within
seven days.

|X|   Forward Rolls.  The Fund can enter into "forward roll" transactions with
respect to mortgage related securities.  In this type of transaction, the Fund
sells a mortgage related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to
repurchase a similar security (the same type of security, and having the same
coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price.  The securities that are
repurchased will have the same interest rate as the securities that are sold,
but typically will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages (with
different prepayment histories) than the securities that have been sold.
Proceeds from the sale are invested in short-term instruments, such as
repurchase agreements.  The income from those investments, plus the fees from
the forward roll transaction, are expected to generate income to the Fund in
excess of the yield on the securities that have been sold.


      The Fund will only enter into "covered" rolls.  To assure its future
payment of the purchase price, the Fund will identify on its books liquid
assets in an amount equal to the payment obligation under the roll.


      These transactions have risks.  During the period between the sale and
the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal
payments on the securities that have been sold.  It is possible that the market
value of the securities the Fund sells may decline below the price at which the
Fund is obligated to repurchase securities.

|X|   Loans of Portfolio Securities.  To raise cash for liquidity purposes or
income, the Fund can lend its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and
other types of financial institutions approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
These loans are limited to not more than 25% of the value of the Fund's net
assets.  The Fund currently does not intend to engage in loans of securities in
the coming year, but if it does so, such loans will not likely exceed 5% of the
Fund's total assets.

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

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


|X|   Borrowing for Leverage. The Fund has the ability to borrow on an
unsecured basis to invest the borrowed funds in portfolio securities. This
speculative technique is known as "leverage." As a matter of fundamental
policy, 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.

      Currently, under the Investment Company Act, absent exemptive relief, a
mutual fund may borrow only from banks and the maximum amount it may borrow is
up to one-third of its total assets (including the amount borrowed), less all
liabilities and indebtedness other than borrowing except that a fund may borrow
up to 5% of its total assets for temporary purposes from any person.  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.

      If the value of a Fund's assets, so computed, should fail to meet the
300% asset coverage requirement, the Fund is required, within three days
thereafter (not including Sundays and holidays) reduce its bank debt to the
extent necessary to meet such requirement and may have to sell a portion of its
investments at a time when independent investment judgment would not dictate
such sale.  Interest on money borrowed is an expense the Fund would not
otherwise incur, so that it may have little or no net investment income during
periods of substantial borrowings.  If it does borrow, its expenses will be
greater other things being equal, than comparable funds that do not borrow.
Since substantially all of the Fund's assets fluctuate in value, but borrowing
obligations are fixed when the Fund has outstanding borrowings, the net asset
value per share of a Fund correspondingly will tend to increase and decrease
more when the Fund's assets increase or decrease in value than would otherwise
be the case. Currently, the Manager does not anticipate that under normal
market conditions, the Fund's borrowings would exceed 5% of its net assets.


|X|   Asset-Backed Securities.  Asset-backed securities are fractional
interests in pools of assets, typically accounts receivable or consumer loans.
They are issued by trusts or special-purpose corporations.  They are similar to
mortgage-backed securities, described above, and are backed by a pool of assets
that consist of obligations of individual borrowers.  The income from the pool
is passed through to the holders of participation interest in the pools.  The
pools may offer a credit enhancement, such as a bank letter of credit, to try
to reduce the risks that the underlying debtors will not pay their obligations
when due.  However, the enhancement, if any, might not be for the full par
value of the security.  If the enhancement is exhausted and any required
payments of principal are not made, the Fund could suffer losses on its
investment or delays in receiving payment.

      The value of an asset-backed security is affected by changes in the
market's perception of the asset backing the security, the creditworthiness of
the servicing agent for the loan pool, the originator of the loans, or the
financial institution providing any credit enhancement, and is also affected if
any credit enhancement has been exhausted.  The risks of investing in
asset-backed securities are ultimately related to payment of consumer loans by
the individual borrowers.  As a purchaser of an asset-backed security, the Fund
would generally have no recourse to the entity that originated the loans in the
event of default by a borrower.  The underlying loans are subject to
prepayments, which may shorten the weighted average life of asset-backed
securities and may lower their return, in the same manner as in the case of
mortgage-backed securities and CMOs, described above.  Unlike mortgage-backed
securities, asset-backed securities typically do not have the benefit of a
security interest in the underlying collateral.

|X|   Derivatives.  The Fund can invest in a variety of derivative investments
to seek income or for hedging purposes. Some derivative investments the Fund
can use are the hedging instruments described below in this Statement of
Additional Information. However, the Fund does not use, and does not currently
contemplate using, derivatives or hedging instruments to a significant degree
in the coming year and it is not obligated to use them in seeking its objective.
      Some of the derivative investments the Fund can use include "debt
exchangeable for common stock" of an issuer or "equity-linked debt securities"
of an issuer.  At maturity, the debt security is exchanged for common stock of
the issuer or it is payable in an amount based on the price of the issuer's
common stock at the time of maturity.  Both alternatives present a risk that
the amount payable at maturity will be less than the principal amount of the
debt because the price of the issuer's common stock might not be as high as the
Manager expected.

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

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

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

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


o     Futures.  The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to (1)
broadly-based stock indices (these are referred to as "stock index futures"),
(2) an individual stock ("single stock futures"), (3) bond indices (these are
referred to as "bond index futures"), (4) debt securities (these are referred
to as "interest rate futures"), (5) foreign currencies (these are referred to
as "forward contracts") and (6) commodities.


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

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


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


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

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

o     Put and Call Options.  The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of put
options ("puts") and call options ("calls"). The Fund can buy and sell
exchange-traded and over-the-counter put and call options, including index
options, securities options, currency options, commodities options, and options
on the other types of futures described above.

o     Writing Covered Call Options.  The Fund can write (that is, sell) covered
calls. If the Fund sells a call option, it must be covered.  That means the
Fund must own the security subject to the call while the call is outstanding,
or, for certain types of calls, the call may be covered by identifying liquid
assets on the Fund's books to enable the Fund to satisfy its obligations if the
call is exercised.  Up to 50% of the Fund's total assets may be subject to
calls the Fund writes.

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

      When the Fund writes a call on an index, it receives cash (a premium).
If the buyer of the call exercises it, the Fund will pay an amount of cash
equal to the difference between the closing price of the call and the exercise
price, multiplied by a specified multiple that determines the total value of
the call for each point of difference.  If the value of the underlying
investment does not rise above the call price, it is likely that the call will
lapse without being exercised. In that case, the Fund would keep the cash
premium.
      The Fund's custodian, or a securities depository acting for the
custodian, will act as the Fund's escrow agent, through the facilities of the
Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"), as to the investments on which the Fund
has written calls traded on exchanges or as to other acceptable escrow
securities. In that way, no margin will be required for such transactions.  OCC
will release the securities on the expiration of the option or when the Fund
enters into a closing transaction.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


      Buying a put on securities or futures the Fund owns enables the Fund to
attempt to protect itself during the put period against a decline in the value
of the underlying investment below the exercise price by selling the underlying
investment at the exercise price to a seller of a corresponding put. If the
market price of the underlying investment is equal to or above the exercise
price and, as a result, the put is not exercised or resold, the put will become
worthless at its expiration date. In that case the Fund will have paid the
premium but lost the right to sell the underlying investment. However, the Fund
may sell the put prior to its expiration. That sale may or may not be at a
profit.


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      The Fund's option activities 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 might 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 may use hedging instruments in a greater dollar amount
than the dollar amount of portfolio securities being hedged. It might do so if
the historical volatility of the prices of the portfolio securities being
hedged is more than the historical volatility of the applicable index.

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

      The Fund can use hedging instruments to establish a position in the
securities markets as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual
securities (long hedging) by buying futures and/or calls on such futures,
broadly-based indices or on securities. It is possible that when the Fund does
so the market might decline.  If the Fund then concludes not to invest in
securities because of concerns that the market might decline further or for
other reasons, the Fund will realize a loss on the hedging instruments that is
not offset by a reduction in the price of the securities purchased.
o     Forward Contracts.  Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange
contracts.  They are used to buy or sell foreign currency for future delivery
at a fixed price.  The Fund uses them to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of a
security denominated in a foreign currency that the Fund has bought or sold, or
to protect against possible losses from changes in the relative values of the
U.S. dollar and a foreign currency.  The Fund limits its exposure in foreign
currency exchange contracts in a particular foreign currency to the amount of
its assets denominated in that currency or a closely-correlated currency.  The
Fund may also use "cross-hedging" where the Fund hedges against changes in
currencies other than the currency in which a security it holds is denominated.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

o     Swaption Transactions. The Fund may enter into a swaption transaction,
which is a contract that grants the holder, in return for payment of the
purchase price (the "premium") of the option, the right, but not the
obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap at a preset rate
within a specified period of time, with the writer of the contract.  The writer
of the contract receives the premium and bears the risk of unfavorable changes
in the preset rate on the underlying interest rate swap.  Unrealized
gains/losses on swaptions are reflected in investment assets and investment
liabilities in the Fund's statement of financial condition.

o     "Structured" Notes. The Fund can buy "structured" notes, which are
specially-designed derivative debt investments with principal payments or
interest payments that are linked to the value of an index (such as a currency
or securities index) or commodity. The terms of the instrument may be
"structured" by the purchaser (the Fund) and the borrower issuing the note.

      The principal and/or interest payments depend on the performance of one
or more other securities or indices, and the values of these notes will
therefore fall or rise in response to the changes in the values of the
underlying security or index. They are subject to both credit and interest rate
risks and therefore the Fund could receive more or less than it originally
invested when the notes mature, or it might receive less interest than the
stated coupon payment if the underlying investment or index does not perform as
anticipated. Their values may be very volatile and they may have a limited
trading market, making it difficult for the Fund to sell its investment at an
acceptable price.

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

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


      Under interpretations of the staff members of the SEC regarding
applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, when the Fund purchases a
future, it must segregate cash or readily marketable short-term debt
instruments in an amount equal to the purchase price of the future, less the
margin deposit applicable to it.


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

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

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

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

|X|   Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments.  When market, economic or
political conditions are unstable, or the Manager believes it is otherwise
appropriate to reduce holdings in stocks, the Fund can invest in a variety of
debt securities for defensive purposes. The Fund can also purchase these
securities for liquidity purposes to meet cash needs due to the redemption of
Fund shares, or to hold while waiting to reinvest cash received from the sale
of other portfolio securities. The Fund can buy:
o     obligations issued or guaranteed by the U. S. government or its
         instrumentalities or agencies,
o     commercial paper (short-term, unsecured, promissory notes of domestic or
         foreign companies) rated in the three top rating categories of a
         nationally recognized rating organization,
o     short-term debt obligations of corporate issuers, rated investment grade
         (rated at least Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. or at least BBB
         by Standard & Poor's Corporation, or a comparable rating by another
         rating organization), or unrated securities judged by the Manager to
         have a comparable quality to rated securities in those categories,
o     certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances of domestic and foreign
         banks  having total assets in excess of $1 billion, and
o     repurchase agreements.

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

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

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


Other Investment Restrictions


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

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

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

o     The Fund cannot buy securities issued or guaranteed by any one issuer if
more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer
or if it would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities. That
restriction applies to 75% of the Fund's total assets. The limit does not apply
to securities issued by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or
instrumentalities.

o     The Fund cannot 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.

o     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.

o     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 exception therefrom, as such statute,
rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

o     The Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies. A permitted
exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act
of 1933 when reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.

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


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


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

|X|   Does the Fund Have Additional Restrictions That Are Not "Fundamental"
Policies? The Fund has additional operating policies which are stated below,
that are not "fundamental," and which can be changed by the Board of Trustees
without shareholder approval.

o     The Fund cannot sell securities short except in "short sales
"against-the-box." However, the Fund does not engage in this type of transaction
at all because of changes in applicable tax laws.


o     The Fund cannot invest in the securities of other registered investment
companies or registered unit investment trusts in reliance on sub-paragraph (F)
or (G) of Section 12(d)(1) of the Investment Company Act of 1940.


How the Fund is Managed


Organization and History. The Fund is an open-end, diversified management
investment company with an unlimited number of authorized shares of beneficial
interest. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust in 1990.
Formerly known as Oppenheimer Global Growth & Income Fund, the Fund changed its
name to Oppenheimer Global Opportunities Fund on June 1, 2003.


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


      The Fund currently has five classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C,
Class N and Class Y.  All classes invest in the same investment portfolio.
Only retirement plans may purchase Class N shares. Only certain institutional
investors may elect to purchase Class Y shares.   Each class of shares:
o     has its own dividends and distributions,
o     pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,
o     may have a different net asset value,
o     may have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one

         class are different from interests of another class, and
o     votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

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


|X|   Meetings of Shareholders.  As a Massachusetts business trust, the Fund is
not required to hold, and does not plan to hold, regular annual meetings of
shareholders, but may do so from time to time on important matters or when
required to do so by the Investment Company Act or other applicable law.
Shareholders have the right, upon 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.

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

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

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees. The Fund is governed by a Board of
Trustees, which is responsible for protecting the interests of shareholders
under Massachusetts law. The Trustees meet periodically throughout the year to
oversee the Fund's activities, review its performance, and review the actions
of the Manager.


      The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee, a Regulatory & Oversight
Committee, a Governance Committee and a Proxy Committee.  The Audit Committee
is comprised solely of Independent Trustees.  The members of the Audit
Committee are Joel Motley (Chairman), Mary Miller, Edward V. Regan and Kenneth
Randall. The Audit Committee held 7 meetings during the Fund's fiscal year
ended September 30, 2004. The Audit Committee provides the Board with
recommendations regarding the selection of the Fund's independent auditor. The
Audit Committee also reviews the scope and results of audits and the audit fees
charged, reviews reports from the Fund's independent auditor concerning the

Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Except for Mr. Murphy, each of the Trustees
is an "Independent Trustee" under the Investment Company Act. Mr. Murphy is an
"Interested Trustee," because he is affiliated with the Manager by virtue of his
positions as an officer and director of the Manager, and as a shareholder of
its parent company.


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


Oppenheimer AMT-Free Municipals          Oppenheimer Global Opportunities Fund
Oppenheimer AMT-Free New York Municipals Oppenheimer Gold & Special Minerals Fund
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund    Oppenheimer Growth Fund
Oppenheimer Balanced Fund                Oppenheimer International Growth Fund

                                         Oppenheimer  International  Small Company

Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund    Fund
Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund    Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund      Oppenheimer Multi-Sector Income Trust
Oppenheimer Discovery Fund               Oppenheimer Multi-State Municipal Trust
Oppenheimer Emerging Growth Fund         Oppenheimer Series Fund, Inc.
Oppenheimer Emerging Technologies Fund   Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust
Oppenheimer Enterprise Fund
Oppenheimer Global Fund


      In addition to being a trustee or director of the Board I Funds, Mr.
Galli is also a director or trustee of 10 other portfolios in the
OppenheimerFunds complex. Present or former officers, directors, trustees and
employees (and their immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its
affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their employees are
permitted to purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other Oppenheimer
funds at net asset value without sales charge. The sales charges on Class A
shares is waived for that group because of the economies of sales efforts
realized by the Distributor.


      Messrs. Dishmon, Gillespie, Miao, Jennings, Murphy, Petersen, Vandehey,
Vottiero, Wixted and Zack, and Mses. Bloomberg, Ives and Lee respectively hold
the same offices with one or more of the other Board I Funds as with the Fund.
As of October 29, 2004, the Trustees and officers of the Fund, as a group,
owned of record or beneficially less than 1% of each class of shares of the
Fund.  The foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares of the Fund
held of record by an employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other
than the shares beneficially owned under the plan by the officers of the Fund
listed above. In addition, each Independent Trustee, and his or her family
members, do not own securities of either the Manager or Distributor of the
Board I Funds or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by
or under common control with the Manager or Distributor.

|X|   Affiliated Transactions and Material Business Relationships. Mr. Reynolds
has reported he has a controlling interest in The Directorship Group, Inc.
("The Directorship Search Group"), a director recruiting firm that provided
consulting services to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (which
controls the Manager) for fees of $137,500 for calendar year ended December 31,
2002. Mr. Reynolds reported that The Directorship Search Group did not provide
consulting services to Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company during the
calendar year ended December 31, 2003, and does not expect to provide any such
services in the calendar year ended December 31, 2004.


      The Independent Trustees have unanimously (except for Mr. Reynolds, who
abstained) determined that the consulting arrangements between The Directorship
Search Group and Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company were not material
business or professional relationships that would compromise Mr. Reynolds'
status as an Independent Trustee. Nonetheless, to assure certainty as to
determinations of the Board and the Independent Trustees as to matters upon
which the Investment Company Act or the rules thereunder require approval by a
majority of Independent Trustees, Mr. Reynolds will not be counted for purposes
of determining whether a quorum of Independent Trustees was present or whether
a majority of Independent Trustees approved the matter.


     The address of each Trustee in the chart below is 6803 S. Tucson Way,
Centennial, CO 80112-3924. Each Trustee serves for an indefinite term, until
his or her resignation, retirement, death or removal. Ms. Mary Miller was
elected to the Board I Funds effective August 13, 2004 and therefore did not
hold shares of Board I Funds during the calendar year ended December 31, 2003.

Board I Funds  effective  January 1, 2003,  March 31, 2003,  October 31, 2004 and
July 31, 2003,  respectively.  For the fiscal year ended  September 30, 2004, Mr.
Spiro and Ms. Moynihan  received $4,832 and $603 aggregate  compensation from the
Fund,  respectively.  For calendar year ended  December 31, 2003,  Messrs.  Levy,
Lipstein,  and Spiro and Ms.  Moynihan each received  $43,425,  $75,076,  $64,080
and  $88,229  respectively,  of total  compensation  from all of the  Oppenheimer
funds for which they served as Trustees.

1.    Aggregate Compensation From Fund includes fees and deferred compensation,
   if any, for a Trustee.
2.    Estimated Annual Retirement Benefits to be Paid Upon Retirement is
   based on a straight life payment plan election with the assumption  that a
   Trustee will retire at the age of 75 and is eligible (after 7 years of  service)
   to receive retirement plan benefits as described below under  "Retirement
   Plan for Trustees."
3.    Includes $3,274 deferred by Mr.Yeutter under the Deferred Compensation
  Plan described below.

4.    Includes $36,990  estimated to be  paid to Mr. Galli for  serving
   as a trustee or director of 10 other Oppenheimer funds that are not Board I

5.    Includes $96,000 paid to Mr.Galli for serving as trustee or director of 10
   other  Oppenheimer funds that are not Board I Funds.
6.    Includes $10,023 deferred by  Mr. Griffiths under the Deferred Compensation
  Plan described below. Ms. Miller was appointed to Board I on August 13, 2004
  and therefore did not receive any compensation for the period covered herein.

8.    Includes $4,243 deferred by Mr. Motley under the Deferred Compensation Plan
   described below.


|X|   Retirement Plan for Trustees. The Fund has adopted a retirement plan
that provides for payments to retired Independent Trustees. Payments
are up to 80% of the average compensation paid during a Trustee's five years
of service in which the highest compensation was received. A Trustee
must serve as trustee for any of the Board I Funds for at least seven
years in order to be eligible for retirement plan benefits and must
serve for at least 15 years to be eligible for the maximum benefit. Each
Trustee's retirement benefits will depend on the amount of the Trustee's future
compensation and length of service.


      Deferred Compensation Plan for Trustees. The Board of Trustees
has adopted a Deferred Compensation 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 the Fund. Under the plan, the compensation deferred by
a Trustee is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount had been
invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The
amount paid to the Trustee under the plan is determined based upon the
performance of the selected funds.


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


|X|   Major Shareholders.  As of October 29, 2004, the only persons who

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

      The Code of Ethics is an exhibit to the Fund's registration statement
filed with the SEC and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public
Reference Room in Washington, D.C. You can obtain information about the hours of
operation of the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1.202.942.8090. The

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

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


      The Fund is required to file new Form N-PX, with its complete proxy

      |X|   The Investment Advisory Agreement.  The Manager provides
investment advisory and management services to the Fund under an investment
advisory agreement between the Manager and the Fund. The Manager selects
securities for the Fund's portfolio and handles its day-to-day business.
The portfolio manager and assistant portfolio manager of the Fund
are employed by the Manager and are the persons who are principally
responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. Other members
of the Manager's Equity Portfolio department provide the portfolio manager
and assistant 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 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 Mana management fees paid  Fees by the Fund to the Manager
during its last three fiscal years were:

      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 by reason
of good faith, errors or omissions in connection with matters to which the
investment advisory agreement relates.


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


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


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

      The Board reviewed the foregoing information in arriving at its decision
to renew the investment advisory agreement. Among other factors, the Board
considered:
o     The nature, cost, and quality of the services provided to the Fund and
         its shareholders;
o     The profitability of the Fund to the Manager;
o     The investment performance of the Fund in comparison to regular market

         indices;

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

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

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

      After careful deliberation, the Board, including the Independent
Trustees, concluded that it was in the best interest of shareholders to
continue the investment advisory agreement for another year. In arriving at a
decision, the Board did not single out any one factor or group of factors as
being more important than other factors, but considered all factors together.
The Board judged the terms and conditions of the investment advisory agreement,
including the investment advisory fee, in light of all of the surrounding
circumstances.


Brokerage Policies of the Fund

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


    Under the investment advisory agreement, in choosing brokers to execute
portfolio transactions for the Fund, the Manager may select brokers (other than
affiliates) that provide brokerage and/or research services to the Fund and/or
the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates have investment
discretion.  The commission 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.

      Subject to those considerations, as a factor in selecting brokers for the
Fund's portfolio transactions, the investment advisory agreement also permits
the Manager to consider sales of shares of the Fund and other investment
companies for which the Manager or an affiliate serves as investment adviser.
Notwithstanding that authority, and with the concurrence of the Fund's Board,
the Manager has determined not to consider sales of shares of the Fund and
other investment companies for which the Manager or an affiliate serves as
investment adviser as a factor in selecting brokers for the Fund's portfolio
transactions.  However, the Manager may continue to effect portfolio
transactions through brokers who sell shares of the Fund.

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

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


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


      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. 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. 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.


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

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

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

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

Distribution and Service Plans

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


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

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


Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A
shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N
shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the
Fund pays the Distributor for all or a portion of its costs incurred in
connection with the distribution and/or servicing of the shares of the
particular class. Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of
Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees1, cast in person at
a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.

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

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


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


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


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

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

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


|X|   Class A Service Plan Fees. Under the Class A service plan, the
Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers,
dealers and other financial institutions (they are referred to as "recipients")
for personal services and account maintenance services they provide for their
customers who hold Class A shares. The services include, among others,
answering customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in establishing and
maintaining accounts in the Fund, making the Fund's investment plans available
and providing other services at the request of the Fund or the Distributor. The
Class A service plan permits reimbursements to the Distributor at a rate of up
to 0.25% of average annual net assets of Class A shares. The Board has set the
rate at that level. The Distributor does not receive or retain the service fee
on Class A shares in accounts for which the Distributor has been listed as the
broker-dealer of record. While the plan permits the Board to authorize payments
to the Distributor to reimburse itself for services under the plan, the Board
has not yet done so, except in the case of the special arrangement described
below, regarding grandfathered retirement accounts. The Distributor makes
payments to recipients quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of the
average annual net assets consisting of Class A shares held in the accounts of
the recipients or their customers.


      With respect to purchases of Class A shares subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge by certain retirement plans that purchased such shares
prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts"), the Distributor
currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the first
year after the shares are purchased. During the first year the shares are sold,
the Distributor retains the service fee to reimburse itself for the costs of
distributing the shares. After the first year shares are outstanding, the
Distributor makes service fee payments to recipients quarterly on those shares.
The advance payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold. Shares
purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advance service fee payment. If
Class A shares purchased by grandfathered retirement accounts are redeemed
during the first year after their purchase, the recipient of the service fees
on those shares will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata portion
of the advance payment of the service fee made on those shares.


      For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 payments under the Class A
plan totaled $3,768,012, of which $75,256 was retained by the Distributor under
the arrangement described above, regarding grandfathered retirement accounts,
and included $164,734 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.


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


      Each plan permits the Distributor to retain both the asset-based sales
charges and the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a
quarterly basis, without payment in advance. However, the Distributor currently
intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the first year
after Class B, Class C and Class N shares are purchased. After the first year
Class B, Class C or Class N shares are outstanding, after their purchase, the
Distributor makes service fee payments quarterly on those shares. The advance
payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold. Shares purchased by
exchange do not qualify for the advance service fee payment. If Class B, Class
C or Class N shares are redeemed during the first year after their purchase,
the recipient of the service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay
the Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance payment of the service fee
made on those shares. Class B, Class C or Class N shares may not be purchased
by an investor directly from the Distributor without the investor designating
another broker-dealer of record.  If the investor no longer has another
broker-dealer of record for an existing account, the Distributor is
automatically designated as the broker-dealer of record, but solely for the
purpose of acting as the investor's agent to purchase the shares.  In those
cases, the Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge paid on Class B,
Class C and Class N shares.  The distributor does not receive or retain the
service fee on Class B, Class C or Class N shares in accounts for which it is
listed as the broker-dealer of record.

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

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

      The asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares allow
investors to buy shares without a front-end sales charge while allowing the
Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares. The Fund pays the
asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for its services rendered in
distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares. The payments are made to the
Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:

o     pays sales concessions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of
         sale and pays service fees as described above,
o     may finance payment of sales concessions and/or the advance of the
         service fee payment to recipients under the plans, or may provide such
         financing from its own resources or from the resources of an
         affiliate,
o     employs personnel to support distribution of Class B, Class C and Class N
         shares,
o     bears the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses (other
         than those furnished to current shareholders) and state "blue sky"
         registration fees and certain other distribution expenses,
o     may not be able to adequately compensate dealers that sell Class B, Class
         C and Class N shares without receiving payment under the plans and
         therefore may not be able to offer such Classes for sale absent the
         plans,
o     receives payments under the plans consistent with the service fees and
         asset-based sales charges paid by other non-proprietary funds that
         charge 12b-1 fees,
o     may use the payments under the plan to include the Fund in various
         third-party distribution programs that may increase sales of Fund
         shares,

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

o     may not be able to continue providing, at the same or at a lesser cost,
         the same quality distribution sales efforts and services, or to obtain
         such services from brokers and dealers, if the plan payments were to
         be discontinued.


During a calendar year, the Distributor's actual expenses in selling Class B,
Class C and Class N shares may be more than the payments it receives from the
contingent deferred sales charges collected on redeemed shares and from the
asset-based sales charges paid to the Distributor by the Fund under the
distribution and service plans. Those excess expenses are carried over on the
Distributor's books and may be recouped from asset-based sales charge payments
from the Fund in future years. However, the Distributor has voluntarily agreed
to cap the amount of expenses under the plans that may be carried over from
year to year and recouped that relate to (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. The cap on the carry-over of those categories of expenses is set at
0.70% of annual gross sales of shares of the Fund. If those categories of
expenses exceed the capped amount, the Distributor bears the excess costs. If
the Class B, Class C or Class N plan were to be terminated by the Fund, the
Fund's Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payments of the
asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for distributing shares prior to
the termination of the plan.

Performance of the Fund

Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses a variety of terms to
illustrate its investment performance. Those terms include "cumulative total
return," "average annual total return," "average annual total return at net
asset value" and "total return at net asset value." An explanation of how total
returns are calculated is set forth below. The charts below show the Fund's
performance as of the Fund's most recent fiscal year end. You can obtain
current performance information by calling the Fund's Transfer Agent at
1.800.225.5677 or by visiting the OppenheimerFunds Internet website at
www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

      The Fund's illustrations of its performance data in advertisements must
comply with rules of the SEC. Those rules describe the types of performance
data that may be used and how it is to be calculated. In general, any
advertisement by the Fund of its performance data must include the average
annual total returns for the advertised class of shares of the Fund.

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

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

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

o     An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other
         government agency.
o     The principal value of the Fund's shares, and total returns are not
         guaranteed and normally will fluctuate on a daily basis.
o     When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less
         than their original cost.
o     Total returns for any given past period represent historical performance
         information and are not, and should not be considered, a prediction of
         future returns.

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

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


      In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current maximum
sales charge of 5.75% (as a percentage of the offering price) is deducted from
the initial investment ("P" in the formula below) (unless the return is shown
without sales charge, as described below). For Class B shares, payment of the
applicable contingent deferred sales charge is applied, depending on the period
for which the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in the second year,
3.0% in the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0% in the sixth
year and none thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred
sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year period. For Class N
shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for
the one-year period, and total returns for the periods prior to 03/01/01 (the
inception date for Class N shares) are based on the Fund's Class A returns,
adjusted to reflect the higher Class N 12b-1 fees. There is no sales charge on
Class Y shares.


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

ERV   l/n - 1  Average Annual Total
               Return
  P

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

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


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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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


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

From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales
literature the total return performance of a hypothetical investment account
that includes shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds. The combined
account may be part of an illustration of an asset allocation model or similar
presentation. The account performance may combine total return performance of
the Fund and the total return performance of other Oppenheimer funds included
in the account. Additionally, from time to time, the Fund's advertisements and
sales literature may include, for illustrative or comparative purposes,
statistical data or other information about general or specific market and
economic conditions. That may include, for example,
o     information about the performance of certain securities or commodities
      markets or segments of those markets,

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

o     the earnings of companies included in segments of particular industries,
      sectors, securities markets, countries or regions,
o     the availability of different types of securities or offerings of
      securities,
o     information relating to the gross national or gross domestic product of
      the United States or other countries or regions,

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



ABOUT your account

How to Buy Shares

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


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

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


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

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

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

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

Letters of Intent. Under a Letter of Intent ("Letter"), if you purchase Class A
shares or Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds
during a 13-month period, you can reduce the sales charge rate that applies to
your purchases of Class A shares. The total amount of your intended purchases
of both Class A and Class B shares will determine the reduced sales charge rate
for the Class A shares purchased during that period. You can include purchases
made up to 90 days before the date of the Letter. Letters do not consider Class
C or Class N shares you purchase or may have purchased.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

      2. If the total minimum investment specified under the Letter is
completed within the 13-month Letter period, the escrowed shares will be
promptly released to the investor.

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

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

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

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


Asset Builder Plans. As explained in the Prospectus, you must initially
establish your account with $500. Subsequently, you can establish an Asset
Builder Plan to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank
account for as little as $50. For those accounts established prior to November
1, 2002 and which have previously established Asset Builder Plans, additional
purchases will remain at $25. Shares purchased by Asset Builder Plan payments
from bank accounts are subject to the redemption restrictions for recent
purchases described in the Prospectus. Asset Builder Plans are available only
if your bank is an ACH member. Asset Builder Plans may not be used to buy
shares for OppenheimerFunds employer-sponsored qualified retirement accounts.
Asset Builder Plans also enable shareholders of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves to
use their fund account to make monthly automatic purchases of shares of up to
four other Oppenheimer funds.


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

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


Retirement Plans.  Certain types of retirement plans are entitled to purchase
shares of the Fund without sales charges or at reduced sales charge rates, as
described in an Appendix to this Statement of Additional Information.  Certain
special sales charge arrangements described in that Appendix apply to
retirement plans whose records are maintained on a daily valuation basis by
Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") or an independent
record keeper that has a contract or special arrangement with Merrill Lynch.
If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service
agreement the plan has less than $1 million in assets invested in applicable
investments (other than assets invested in money market funds), then the
retirement plan may purchase only Class C shares of the Oppenheimer funds.  If
on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping service
agreement the plan has $1 million or more in assets but less than $5 million in
assets invested in applicable investments (other than assets invested in money
market funds), then the retirement plan may purchase only Class N shares of the
Oppenheimer funds.  If on the date the plan sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch
record keeping service agreement the plan has $5 million or more in assets
invested in applicable investments (other than assets invested in money market
funds), then the retirement plan may purchase only Class A shares of the
Oppenheimer funds.


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


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


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

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


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


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


      |X|   Class B Conversion. Under current interpretations of applicable
federal income tax law by the Internal Revenue Service, the conversion of Class
B shares to Class A shares 72 months after purchase is not treated as a taxable
event for the shareholder. If those laws or the IRS interpretation of those
laws should change, the automatic conversion feature may be suspended. In that
event, no further conversions of Class B shares would occur while that
suspension remained in effect. Although Class B shares could then be exchanged
for Class A shares on the basis of relative net asset value of the two classes,
without the imposition of a sales charge or fee, such exchange could constitute
a taxable event for the shareholder, and absent such exchange, Class B shares
might continue to be subject to the asset-based sales charge for longer than
six years.


      |X|   Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of
the types of retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained in
the prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:
o     to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),
o     to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans,
            Profit-Sharing Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans,
o     to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and
            Ascender retirement plans,
o     to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,
o     to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,
o     to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix C to this Statement of
            Additional Information) which have entered into a special agreement
            with the Distributor for that purpose,
o     to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the
            Internal Revenue Code, the recordkeeper or the plan sponsor for
            which has entered into a special agreement with the Distributor,
o     to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of all
            such plans invested in the Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or more,
o     to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the
            purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or
            more Oppenheimer funds, and
o     to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that are
            identified in a special agreement between the broker-dealer or
            financial advisor and the Distributor for that purpose.

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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


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

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


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

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

o     Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on Nasdaq(R)are
valued as follows:
(1)   if last sale information is regularly reported, they are valued at the

               last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which they
               are traded or on Nasdaq(R), as applicable, on that day, or

(2)   if last sale information is not available on a valuation date, they are
               valued at the last reported sale price preceding the valuation
               date if it is within the spread of the closing "bid" and "asked"
               prices on the valuation date or, if not,  at the closing "bid"
               price on the valuation date.
o     Equity securities traded on a foreign securities exchange generally are
valued in one of the following ways:
(1)   at the last sale price available to the pricing service approved by the
               Board of Trustees, or
(2)   at the last sale price obtained by the Manager from the report of the
               principal exchange on which the security is traded at its last
               trading session on or immediately before the valuation date, or
(3)   at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices obtained from the
               principal exchange on which the security is traded or, on the
               basis of reasonable inquiry, from two market makers in the
               security.
o     Long-term debt securities having a remaining maturity in excess of 60
days are valued based on the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices
determined by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of
Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the
security on the basis of reasonable inquiry.
o     The following securities are valued at the mean between the "bid" and
"asked" prices determined by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of
Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the
security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:
(1)   debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when issued,
(2)   debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and
               have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and
(3)   non-money market debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less
               when issued and which have a remaining maturity of 60 days or
               less.
o     The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for amortization of
premiums and accretion of discounts:
(1)   money market debt securities held by a non-money market fund that had a
               maturity of less than 397 days when issued that have a remaining
               maturity of 60 days or less, and
(2)   debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining
               maturity of 397 days or less.
o     Securities (including restricted securities) not having readily-available
market quotations are valued at fair value determined under the Board's
procedures. If the Manager is unable to locate two market makers willing to
give quotes, a security may be priced at the mean between the "bid" and "asked"
prices provided by a single active market maker (which in certain cases may be
the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available).


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

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

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


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


How to Sell Shares

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


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


Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may
reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of:
o     Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class A
         shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or
o     Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred sales
         charge when redeemed.


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

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


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

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

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board of Trustees has the right to cause
the involuntary redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate
net asset value of those shares is less than $200 or such lesser amount as the
Board may fix. The Board will not cause the involuntary redemption of shares in
an account if the aggregate net asset value of such shares has fallen below the
stated minimum solely as a result of market fluctuations. If the Board
exercises this right, it may also fix the requirements for any notice to be
given to the shareholders in question (not less than 30 days). The Board may
alternatively set requirements for the shareholder to increase the investment,
or set other terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily
redeemed.

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


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


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

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

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


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

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


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

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

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


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


      |X|   Automatic Exchange Plans. Shareholders can authorize the Transfer
Agent to exchange a pre-determined amount of shares of the Fund for shares (of
the same class) of other Oppenheimer funds automatically on a monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Exchange Plan. The
minimum amount that may be exchanged to each other fund account is $50.
Instructions should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds Application or
signature-guaranteed instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are subject
to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in "How to Exchange
Shares" in the Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional
Information.


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


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

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


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


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

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

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

How to Exchange Shares

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

o     All of the Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class A, B, C, N and Y

   Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. only offers Class A and Class Y shares.
o     Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for

      shares of any other fund.
o     Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves are
      generally available only by exchange from the same class of shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds or through OppenheimerFunds-sponsored 401(k)
      plans.
o     Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund may be
      exchanged only for Class A shares of other Oppenheimer funds. They may
      not be acquired by exchange of shares of any class of any other
      Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund
      or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves acquired by exchange of Class M shares.
   o  Shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund may not be exchanged for
      shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Cash Reserves
      or Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund. Only participants in certain
      retirement plans may purchase shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation
      Fund, and only those participants may exchange shares of other
      Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund.
o     Class A shares of Oppenheimer funds may be exchanged at net asset value
      for shares of any money market fund offered by the Distributor. Shares of
      any money market fund purchased without a sales charge may be exchanged
      for shares of Oppenheimer funds offered with a sales charge upon payment
      of the sales charge. They may also be used to purchase shares of
      Oppenheimer funds subject to an early withdrawal charge or contingent
      deferred sales charge.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. purchased with the
      redemption proceeds of shares of other mutual funds (other than funds
      managed by the Manager or its subsidiaries) redeemed within the 30 days
      prior to that purchase may subsequently be exchanged for shares of other
      Oppenheimer funds without being subject to an initial sales charge or
      contingent deferred sales charge. To qualify for that privilege, the
      investor or the investor's dealer must notify the Distributor of
      eligibility for this privilege at the time the shares of Oppenheimer
      Money Market Fund, Inc. are purchased. If requested, they must supply
      proof of entitlement to this privilege.
o     Shares of the Fund acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions
      from any of the other Oppenheimer funds or from any unit investment trust
      for which reinvestment arrangements have been made with the Distributor
      may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds.
      However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of other
      Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main
      Street Fund until after the expiration of the warranty period (8/5/2010).

o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund II may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds.
      However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of other
      Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main
      Street Fund II until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (2/4/2011).
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund III may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds.
      However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of other
      Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main
      Street Fund III until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (12/6/2011).


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

      |X|   How Exchanges Affect Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. No
contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on exchanges of shares of any class
purchased subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, with the following
exceptions:

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

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

o     If any Class A shares of another Oppenheimer fund that are exchanged for
Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are subject to the
Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the other Oppenheimer fund at the
time of exchange, the holding period for that Class A contingent deferred sales
charge will carry over to the Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating
Rate Fund acquired in the exchange. The Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior
Floating Rate Fund acquired in that exchange will be subject to the Class A
Early Withdrawal Charge of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund if they are
repurchased before the expiration of the holding period.

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


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

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


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


o     With respect to Class N shares, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge
will be imposed if the retirement plan (not including IRAs and 403(b) plans) is
terminated or Class N shares of all Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an
investment option of the plan and Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months
after the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund or
with respect to an individual retirement plan or 403(b) plan, Class N shares
are redeemed within 18 months of the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of
any Oppenheimer fund.


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

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

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

      |X|   Telephone Exchange Requests. When 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.

|X|   Processing Exchange Requests. Shares to be exchanged are redeemed on the
regular business day the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request in proper
form (the "Redemption Date"). Normally, shares of the fund to be acquired are
purchased on the Redemption Date, but such purchases may be delayed by either
fund up to five business days if it determines that it would be disadvantaged
by an immediate transfer of the redemption proceeds. The Fund reserves the
right, in its discretion, to refuse any exchange request that may disadvantage
it. For example, if the receipt of multiple exchange requests from a dealer
might require the disposition of portfolio securities at a time or at a price
that might be disadvantageous to the Fund, the Fund may refuse the request.

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


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


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

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

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

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

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


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

|X|   Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company. The Fund has elected to
be taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a regulated investment company, the Fund
is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its net investment
income (that is, taxable interest, dividends, and other taxable ordinary
income, net of expenses) and capital gain net income (that is, the excess of
net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) that it
distributes to shareholders. That qualification enables the Fund to "pass
through" its income and realized capital gains to shareholders without having
to pay tax on them. This avoids a "double tax" on that income and capital
gains, since shareholders normally will be taxed on the dividends and capital
gains they receive from the Fund (unless their Fund shares are held in a
retirement account or the shareholder is otherwise exempt from tax).


      The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests relating to
qualification that the Fund might not meet in a particular year. If it did not
qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund would be treated for tax
purposes as an ordinary corporation and would receive no tax deduction for
payments made to shareholders.

      To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must distribute at
least 90% of its investment company taxable income (in brief, net investment
income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net long-term capital
loss) for the taxable year. The Fund must also satisfy certain other
requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, some of which are described below.
Distributions by the Fund made during the taxable year or, under specified
circumstances, within 12 months after the close of the taxable year, will be
considered distributions of income and gains for the taxable year and will
therefore count toward satisfaction of the above-mentioned requirement.

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

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


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

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


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

      The Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net capital
gain for each taxable year. The Fund currently intends to distribute any such
amounts. If net long term capital gains are distributed and designated as a
capital gain distribution, it will be taxable to shareholders as a long-term
capital gain and will be properly identified in reports sent to shareholders in
January of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter how long the
shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was recognized by
the Fund before the shareholder acquired his or her shares.

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

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

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

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


      The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold 28% of ordinary
income dividends, capital gains distributions and the proceeds of the
redemption of shares, paid to any shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a
correct taxpayer identification number or to properly certify that number when
-------
required, (2) who is subject to backup withholding for failure to report the
receipt of interest or dividend income properly, or (3) who has failed to
certify to the Fund that the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding
or is an "exempt recipient" (such as a corporation). Any tax withheld by the
Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and all income and any tax
withheld is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in January of each
year.

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


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


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

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

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


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

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

Additional Information About the Fund

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


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

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

Independent   Registered   Public   Accounting  Firm.  KPMG  LLP  served  as  the
Independent  Registered  Public Accounting Firm for the Fund. KPMG LLP audits the
Fund's financial  statements and performs other related audit services.  KPMG LLP
also  acts as the  independent  registered  public  accounting  firm for  certain
other  funds  advised by the  Manager  and its  affiliates.  Audit and  non-audit
services  provided  by KPMG LLP to the Fund  must be  pre-approved  by the  Audit
Committee.




REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS OF OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL OPPORTUNITIES FUND:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of
Oppenheimer Global Opportunities Fund, including the statement of investments,
as of September 30, 2004, and the related statement of operations for the year
then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in
the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years
in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights
are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based
on our audits.

      We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement.
An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts
and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included
confirmation of securities owned as of September 30, 2004, by correspondence
with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where
replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

      In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred
to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
Oppenheimer Global Opportunities Fund as of September 30, 2004, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each
of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each

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

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

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

LONG-TERM RATINGS: BONDS AND PREFERRED STOCK ISSUER RATINGS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

N.R. Not rated.

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

Bond Investment Quality Standards

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Investment Grade:

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

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

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

Speculative Grade:

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


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

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

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


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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

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

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

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

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

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

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





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

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

      There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of
the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases may
be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed within
18 months (24 months in the case of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals
and Rochester Fund Municipals) of the beginning of the calendar month of their
purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a waiver described elsewhere
in this Appendix applies to the redemption). Additionally, on shares purchased
under these waivers that are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales
charge, the Distributor will pay the applicable concession described in the
Prospectus under "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."5 This waiver
provision applies to:
|_|   Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.
|_|   Purchases of Class A shares by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to
         purchase such shares at net asset value but subject to a contingent
         deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001. That included plans
         (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares
         costing $500,000 or more, 2) had at the time of purchase 100 or more
         eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3)
         certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan
         purchases of $200,000 or more.
|_|   Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the purchases
         are made:
         1) through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment adviser
            that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those
            purchases, or
         2) by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified Retirement
            Plan if the administrator of that Plan has made special
            arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.
|_|   Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the
         following record-keeping arrangements:
         1) The record keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner &
            Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") on a daily valuation basis for the
            Retirement Plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the
            record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must
            have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a) mutual funds,
            other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch Investment
            Management, L.P. ("MLIM"), that are made available under a Service
            Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the mutual fund's principal
            underwriter or distributor, and  (b)  funds advised or managed by
            MLIM (the funds described in (a) and (b) are referred to as
            "Applicable Investments").
         2) The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily
            valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are provided
            under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and
            Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record
            keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3
            million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money
            market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.
         3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service
            agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan sponsor signs
            that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees (as
            determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).

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

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

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

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

|_|   Registered management investment companies, or separate accounts of
         insurance companies having an agreement with the Manager or the
         Distributor for that purpose.
|_|   Dealers or brokers that have a sales agreement with the Distributor, if
         they purchase shares for their own accounts or for retirement plans
         for their employees.
|_|   Employees and registered representatives (and their spouses) of dealers
         or brokers described above or financial institutions that have entered
         into sales arrangements with such dealers or brokers (and which are
         identified as such to the Distributor) or with the Distributor. The
         purchaser must certify to the Distributor at the time of purchase that
         the purchase is for the purchaser's own account (or for the benefit of
         such employee's spouse or minor children).
|_|   Dealers, brokers, banks or registered investment advisors that have
         entered into an agreement with the Distributor providing specifically
         for the use of shares of the Fund in particular investment products
         made available to their clients. Those clients may be charged a
         transaction fee by their dealer, broker, bank or advisor for the
         purchase or sale of Fund shares.
|_|   Investment advisors and financial planners who have entered into an
         agreement for this purpose with the Distributor and who charge an
         advisory, consulting or other fee for their services and buy shares
         for their own accounts or the accounts of their clients.
|_|   "Rabbi trusts" that buy shares for their own accounts, if the purchases
         are made through a broker or agent or other financial intermediary
         that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those
         purchases.
|_|   Clients of investment advisors or financial planners (that have entered
         into an agreement for this purpose with the Distributor) who buy
         shares for their own accounts may also purchase shares without sales
         charge but only if their accounts are linked to a master account of
         their investment advisor or financial planner on the books and records
         of the broker, agent or financial intermediary with which the

1 In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term
"Independent Trustees" in this Statement of Additional Information refers to
those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who do not have
any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the distribution
plan or any agreement under the plan.
1 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible
Securities Fund.
2 In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a continuously-offered
closed-end fund, references to contingent deferred sales charges mean the
Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to "redemptions" mean
"repurchases" of shares.
3 An "employee benefit plan" means any plan or arrangement, whether or not it
is "qualified" under the Internal Revenue Code, under which Class N shares of
an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other
administrator for the account of participants who are employees of a single
employer or of affiliated employers. These may include, for example, medical
savings accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The fund accounts
must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or administrator purchasing the
shares for the benefit of participants in the plan.
4 The term "Group Retirement Plan" means any qualified or non-qualified
retirement plan for employees of a corporation or sole proprietorship, members
and employees of a partnership or association or other organized group of
persons (the members of which may include other groups), if the group has made
special arrangements with the Distributor and all members of the group
participating in (or who are eligible to participate in) the plan purchase
shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment dealer,
broker or other financial institution designated by the group. Such plans
include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b) plans other than
plans for public school employees. The term "Group Retirement Plan" also
includes qualified retirement plans and non-qualified deferred compensation
plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a
single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution that has made
special arrangements with the Distributor.
5 However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts
of $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.
6 This provision does not apply to IRAs.

7 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.

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

Item 24.  Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund
---------------------------------------------------------------------

None.

Item 25.  Indemnification
-------------------------

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

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