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.
(the "Manager"), 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 DO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS 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 they believe
have reasonably priced stocks in relation to overall stock market valuations.
Currently the portfolio managers look 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 managers
consider 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 managers do 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 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.


      To the extent that a fund invests significantly in small-cap
      securities, because those securities may be traded infrequently,
      investors may seek to trade fund shares based on their knowledge or
      understanding of the value of those types of securities (this is
      sometimes referred to as "price arbitrage"). Certain Oppenheimer funds,
      including the fund, that invest a significant amount of their assets in
      small-cap securities impose a 2% redemption fee in certain
      circumstances to attempt to deter such price arbitrage. Such price
      arbitrage, if otherwise successful, might interfere with the efficient
      management of a fund's portfolio to a greater degree than would be the
      case for funds that invest in more liquid securities, because the fund
      may have difficulty selling those securities at advantageous times or
      prices to satisfy the liquidity requirements created by large and/or
      frequent trading activity. Successful price arbitrage activities might
      also dilute the value of fund shares held by other shareholders.

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 the annual total
return]


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  1/1/06  through  9/30/06,  the  cumulative  return  (not
annualized) before taxes for Class A shares of the Fund was 7.85%.


During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return (not annualized)
before taxes for a calendar quarter was 32.45% (4 Qtr 99) and the lowest
return (not annualized) before taxes for a calendar quarter was -25.26% (3
Qtr 02).

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  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,
2006.

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

     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,  2006,  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

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.


      Additionally,  if the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in
      foreign securities,  it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts
      by investors  seeking to take  advantage of the  differences in value of
      foreign  securities  that might  result from events that occur after the
      close of the foreign  securities  market on which a foreign  security is
      traded and before the close of the New York Stock  Exchange (the "NYSE")
      that  day,  when the  Fund's  net  asset  value is  calculated.  If such
      time-zone  arbitrage were  successful,  it might dilute the interests of
      other shareholders.  However,  the Fund's use of "fair value pricing" to
      adjust the closing  market  prices of foreign  securities  under certain
      circumstances,  to reflect what the Manager and the Board  believe to be
      their fair value,  and the imposition of redemption fees, may help deter
      those activities.

Investments By "Funds of Funds." Class Y shares of the Fund are offered as an
      investment to certain other Oppenheimer funds that act as "funds of
      funds." The Fund's Board of Trustees has approved making the Fund's
      shares available as an investment for those funds. Those funds of funds
      may invest significant portions of their assets in shares of the Fund.
      From time to time, those investments may also represent a significant
      portion of the Fund's outstanding shares or of its outstanding Class Y
      shares. Those funds of funds typically use asset allocation strategies
      under which they may increase or reduce the amount of their investment
      in the Fund frequently, and may do so on a daily basis during volatile
      market conditions. If the size of those purchases and redemptions of
      the Fund's shares by the funds of funds were significant relative to
      the size of the Fund's assets, the Fund could be required to purchase
      or sell portfolio securities, increasing its transaction costs and
      possibly reducing its performance for all share classes. For a further
      discussion of the possible effects of frequent trading in the Fund's
      shares, please refer to the section titled "Are There Limitations on
      Frequent Purchases, Redemptions and Exchanges?" in this prospectus.


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 and may
      have a high portfolio turnover rate (for example, over 100%).
      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.


Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can
      invest its free cash balances in the Class E shares of Oppenheimer
      Institutional Money Market Fund, to seek current income while
      preserving liquidity. The Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund
      is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a
      money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
      It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated
      money market instruments issued by the U.S. government, domestic and
      foreign corporations and financial institutions, and other entities. As
      a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of
      the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E expenses,
      including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion
      of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the
      advisory fee paid by the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.


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.


Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may make loans of its portfolio
      securities, with a value not to exceed 25% of its net assets, in
      accordance with policies approved by the Fund's Board. The Fund has
      entered into a securities lending agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank,
      N.A. ("JPMorgan Chase") for that purpose. Under the agreement, the
      Fund's portfolio securities may be loaned to brokers, dealers and
      financial institutions, provided that such loans comply with the
      collateralization and other requirements of the securities lending
      agreement, the Fund's policies and applicable government regulations.
      JPMorgan Chase has agreed, in general, to bear the risk that a borrower
      may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. However, the
      Fund will be responsible for risks associated with the investment of
      cash collateral, including the risk of a default by the issuer of a
      security in which cash collateral has been invested. If that occurs,
      the Fund may incur additional costs in seeking to obtain the collateral
      or may lose the amount of the collateral investment. The Fund may also
      lose money if the value of the investments purchased with cash
      collateral decreases.

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS. The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual
      and annual reports that are distributed to shareholders of the Fund
      within 60 days after the close of the period for which such report is
      being made. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its
      Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are filed with the
      Securities and Exchange Commission no later than 60 days after the
      close of its first and third fiscal quarters. These required filings
      are publicly available at the Securities and Exchange Commission.
      Therefore, portfolio holdings of the Fund are made publicly available
      no later than 60 days after the close of each of the Fund's fiscal
      quarters.

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


How the Fund Is Managed


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

      The Manager has been an investment advisor since 1960. The Manager and
its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than $220 billion in
assets as of September 30, 2006, including other Oppenheimer funds with more
than 6 million shareholder accounts. The Manager is located at Two World
Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York
10281-1008.



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, 0.65% of the next $2.5 billion and 0.63% of average
      annual net assets in excess of $6.0 billion.  The $6.0 billion
      breakpoint was added to the Fund's investment advisory agreement by an
      amendment that took effect January 1, 2007.  The Fund's advisory fee
      for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, was 0.69% of average
      annual net assets for each class of shares.

      A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of
the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's
Semi-Annual Report to shareholders for the six-month period ended March 31,
2006.



Portfolio Managers.  The Fund's portfolio is managed by Frank Jennings and
Randall C. Dishmon who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day
management of the Fund's investments.

     Mr. Jennings has been a Vice President and a portfolio manager of the
     Fund since October 1995.  He has been a Vice President of the Manager
     since September 1995.


     Mr. Dishmon has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since August 2004.
     He has been a Vice President of the Manager since January 2005.  Mr.
     Dishmon was an Assistant Vice President and Senior Research Analyst of
     the Manager from June 2001 through August 2004. Prior to joining the
     Manager, he was a management consultant with Booz, Allen & Hamilton from
     May 1998 through June 2001.


     The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information
     about the Portfolio Managers' compensation, other accounts they manage
     and their ownership of Fund shares.


Pending Litigation.  A consolidated amended complaint was filed as a putative
class action against the Manager and the Transfer Agent (and other
defendants) in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York
on January 10, 2005 and was amended on March 4, 2005. The complaint alleged,
among other things, that the Manager charged excessive fees for distribution
and other costs, and that by permitting and/or participating in those
actions, the Directors/Trustees and the Officers of the funds breached their
fiduciary duties to fund shareholders under the Investment Company Act of
1940 and at common law.  The plaintiffs sought unspecified damages, an
accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation
expenses.

      In response to the defendants' motions to dismiss the suit, seven of
the eight counts in the complaint, including the claims against certain of
the Oppenheimer funds, as nominal defendants, and against certain present and
former Directors, Trustees and officers of the funds, and the Distributor, as
defendants, were dismissed with prejudice, by court order dated March 10,
2006, and the remaining count against the Manager and the Transfer Agent was
dismissed with prejudice by court order dated April 5, 2006. The plaintiffs
filed an appeal of those dismissals on May 11, 2006.

      The Manager believes that it is premature to render any opinion as to
the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to it, the funds, the
Directors/Trustees or the Officers on the appeal of the decisions of the
district court, and that no estimate can yet be made with any degree of
certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss. However, the
Manager believes that the allegations contained in the complaint are without
merit and that there are substantial grounds to sustain the district court's
rulings.



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 a processing fee 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 do not list a dealer on the application, Class A
      shares are your only purchase option. The Distributor will act as your
      agent in buying Class A 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. Class B, Class C or Class
      N shares may not be purchased by a new investor directly from the
      Distributor without the investor designating another registered
      broker-dealer. If a current investor no longer has another
      broker-dealer of record for an existing Class B, Class C or Class N
      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.
o     Paying by Federal Funds Wire. Shares purchased through the Distributor
      may be paid for by Federal Funds wire. The minimum wire purchase 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 can 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 share purchase 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 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 an initial investment for as little as $500. The
      minimum subsequent investment is $50, except that for any account
      established under one of these plans prior to November 1, 2002, the
      minimum additional investment will remain $25.
o     A minimum initial investment of $250 applies to certain fee based
      programs that have an agreement with the Distributor. The minimum
      subsequent investment for those programs is $50.

o     The minimum investment requirement does not apply to reinvesting
      dividends from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds (a list of them
      appears in the Statement of Additional Information, or you can ask your
      dealer or call the Transfer Agent), or reinvesting distributions from
      unit investment trusts that have made arrangements with the Distributor.


AT WHAT PRICE ARE SHARES SOLD? Shares are sold at their offering price which
is the net asset value per share plus any initial sales charge that applies.
The offering price that applies to a purchase order is based on the next
calculation of the net asset value per share that is made after the
Distributor receives the purchase order at its offices in Colorado, or after
any agent appointed by the Distributor receives the order.  Your financial
adviser can provide you with more information regarding the time you must
submit your purchase order and whether the adviser is an authorized agent for
the receipt of purchase orders.

Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of
      shares as of the close of the NYSE, on each day the NYSE is open for
      trading (referred to in this Prospectus as a "regular business day").
      The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, but may close
      earlier on some days. All references to time in this Prospectus are to
      "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 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).
      The Fund uses fair value pricing procedures to reflect what the Manager
      and the Board believe to be more accurate values for the Fund's
      portfolio securities, although it may not always be able to accurately
      determine such values. There can be no assurance that the Fund could
      obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the
      security at the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset
      value per share. In addition, the discussion of "time-zone arbitrage"
      describes effects that the Fund's fair value pricing policy is intended
      to counteract.


      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, an 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, the
      Distributor or its designated agent must receive your order, in proper
      form as described in this Prospectus, by the time the NYSE closes that
      day. If your order is received on a day when the NYSE 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 an authorized dealer, your
      dealer must receive the order by the close of the NYSE for you to
      receive that day's offering price. If your order is received on a day
      when the NYSE is closed or after it is closed, 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 more than $100,000 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 held 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
                                           Charge As a

 less than $1 million
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to rounding,  the actual sales charge for a particular  transaction may be
higher or lower than the rates listed above.

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 qualify for the reduced Class A sales charge
         that would apply to a larger purchase than you are currently making
         (as shown in the table above), you can add the value of any Class A,
         Class B or Class C shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds
         that you or your spouse currently own, or are currently purchasing,
         to the value of your Class A share purchase. Your Class A shares of
         Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on
         which you have not paid a sales charge will not be counted 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 that has multiple accounts (including
         employee benefit plans for the same employer). If you are buying
         shares directly from the Fund, you must inform the Distributor of
         your eligibility and holdings at the time of your purchase in order
         to qualify for the Right of Accumulation. If you are buying shares
         through your financial intermediary you must notify your
         intermediary of your eligibility for the 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
         with a copy of all account statements 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 calculate the value of your eligible Oppenheimer fund
         shares, based on the current offering price, to determine which
         Class A sales charge rate you qualify for on your current purchase.


            Letters of Intent. You may also qualify for reduced Class A sales
         charges by submitting a Letter of Intent to the Distributor. A
         Letter of Intent is a written statement of your intention to
         purchase a specified value of Class A, Class B or Class C shares of
         the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds over a 13-month period. The
         total amount of your intended purchases of Class A, Class B and
         Class C shares will determine the reduced sales charge rate that
         will apply to your Class A share purchases of the Fund during that
         period. Purchases made up to 90 days before the date that you submit
         a Letter of Intent will be included in that determination. Your
         Class N shares, and any Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market
         Fund, Inc. or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves on which you have not paid a
         sales charge, will not be counted for this purpose.  Submitting a
         Letter of Intent does not obligate you to purchase the specified
         amount of shares. You may also be able to 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 into which shares
         of the Fund may be exchanged without a sales charge, at the net
         asset value per share in effect on the payable date. You must notify
         the Transfer Agent in writing to elect this option and must have an
         existing account in the fund selected for reinvestment.
o     Exchanges of Shares. Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of
         certain other Oppenheimer funds at net asset value per share at the
         time of exchange, without sales charge, and shares of the Fund can
         be purchased by exchange of shares of certain other Oppenheimer
         funds on the same basis. Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in
         this Prospectus and in the Statement of Additional Information for
         more details, including a discussion of circumstances in which sales
         charges may apply on exchanges.
o     Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption of certain
         Class A and Class B shares, the proceeds may be reinvested in Class
         A shares of the Fund, or any of the other Oppenheimer funds into
         which shares of the Fund may be exchanged, without a 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 or his or her financial
         intermediary for that privilege at the time of reinvestment and must
         identify the account from which the redemption was made.

   Other Special Reductions and Waivers. The Fund and the Distributor offer
   additional arrangements to reduce or eliminate front-end sales charges or
   to waive contingent deferred sales charges for certain types of
   transactions and for certain categories 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 may be ordered by calling 1.800.225.5677 or
   may be accessed through the OppenheimerFunds website, at
   www.oppenheimerfunds.com (follow the hyperlink "Access Fund Documents,"
   under the heading "I Want To," and click on the icon in the column "SAI").
   A description of these waivers and special sales charge arrangements is
   also available for viewing on the OppenheimerFunds website (follow the
   hyperlink "Sales Charge Waivers," under the heading "Fund Information," at
   www.oppenheimerfunds.com). 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 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 retirement plans that
         have $5 million or more in plan assets. In that case the Distributor
         may pay from its own resources, at the time of sale, concessions in
         an amount equal to 0.25% of the purchase price of Class A shares
         purchased within the first six months of account establishment by
         those retirement plans to dealers of record, subject to certain
         exceptions described in "Retirement Plans" in the Statement of
         Additional Information.

         There is also no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares
         of the Fund by certain retirement plans that are part of a
         retirement plan or platform offered by eligible banks,
         broker-dealers, financial advisors, insurance companies or
         recordkeepers. 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 periodically 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 periodically.


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 periodically.

      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.


      For certain group retirement plans held in omnibus accounts, the
      Distributor will pay the full Class C or Class N asset-based sales
      charge and the service fee to the dealer beginning in the first year
      after the 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. New group omnibus plans may not purchase Class B
      shares.


      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.


OTHER PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager
and the Distributor, in their discretion, also may pay dealers or other
financial intermediaries and service providers for distribution and/or
shareholder servicing activities. These payments are made out of the
Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources, including from the profits
derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. These cash
payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business
relationships with the Manager and Distributor. These payments are in
addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees
paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and
any commissions the Distributor pays to these firms out of the sales charges
paid by investors. These payments by the Manager or Distributor from their
own resources are not reflected in the tables in the section called "Fees and
Expenses of the Fund" in this Prospectus because they are not paid by the
Fund.

     "Financial intermediaries" are firms that offer and sell Fund shares to
their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and
receive compensation for doing so. Your securities dealer or financial
adviser, for example, is a financial intermediary, and there are other types
of financial intermediaries that receive payments relating to the sale or
servicing of the Fund's shares. In addition to dealers, the financial
intermediaries that may receive payments include sponsors of fund
"supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors
of college and retirement savings programs, banks and trust companies
offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer
variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

     In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be
categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for
distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are
often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made
on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that dealer, the average
net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the
accounts of that dealer and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for
distribution services provided, or sales support fees. In some circumstances,
revenue sharing 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. These payments also may give an
intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing
efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for
preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide
representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the
intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds
of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may
reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or
training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of
the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about
Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the
Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the
Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect
portfolio transactions for the funds.

     Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing
payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of
services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption
rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of
Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness
of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and
training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the
Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the
intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services
provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship
with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines
for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement.
To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related
payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer
funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the
Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other
fees they receive with respect to those assets.


     Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the
Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them
for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer
agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus
accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements,
account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may
also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund
shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees
include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors,
banks and trust companies, and others. These fees may be used by the service
provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to
them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans.

     The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about
revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor.
Your dealer may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed
in this Prospectus. You should ask your dealer or financial intermediary for
details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the
Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

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 by the Distributor or your authorized financial
intermediary, 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 also
      applies in the case of shares redeemed in exchange transactions. The
      redemption fee is collected by the Transfer Agent and paid to the Fund.
      It is intended to help offset the trading, market impact, and
      administrative costs associated with short-term money movements into
      and out of the Fund, and to help deter excessive short term trading.
      The fee is imposed to the extent that Fund shares redeemed exceed Fund
      shares that have been held more than 30 days. For shares of the Fund
      that were acquired by exchange, the holding period is measured from the
      date the shares were acquired in the exchange transaction. Shares held
      the longest will be redeemed first.


      The redemption fee is not imposed on shares:

o     held in omnibus accounts of certain financial intermediaries, such as a
            broker-dealer or a retirement plan fiduciary if those
            institutions have not implemented the system changes necessary to
            be capable of processing the redemption fee. However, account
            holders whose investments in the Fund are held in omnibus
            accounts through certain other financial intermediates may be
            subject to the redemption fee on terms that are generally in
            accordance with the redemption fee terms in this prospectus but
            that may differ in certain details. For certain retirement plans
            treated as omnibus accounts by the Fund's Transfer Agent, the
            redemption fee may be charged on participant initiated exchanges
            or redemptions. Shares held in retirement plans that are not in
            omnibus accounts, such as Oppenheimer-sponsored retirement plans,
            IRAs, and 403(b)(7) plans are also subject to the redemption fee.
            You should consult with your financial intermediary or retirement
            plan provider for more details on this 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.

Receiving 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

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 NYSE that day, which is
normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, 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 a  processing  fee 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

If you want to change all or part of your investment from one Oppenheimer
fund to another, you can exchange your shares for shares of the same class of
another Oppenheimer fund that offers the exchange privilege. For example, you
can exchange Class A shares of the Fund only for Class A shares of another
fund. 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 prospectus of the selected fund must offer the exchange privilege.
   o  When you establish an account, you must hold the shares you buy for at
      least seven days before you can exchange them. After your account is
      open for seven days, you can exchange shares on any regular business
      day, subject to the limitations described below.
   o  You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the selected fund.
   o  Generally, exchanges may be made only between identically registered
      accounts, unless all account owners send written exchange instructions
      with a signature guarantee.
   o  Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain its prospectus and
      should read it carefully.

      For tax purposes, an exchange of shares of the Fund is considered a
sale of those shares and a purchase of the shares of the fund into which you
are exchanging. An exchange may result in a capital gain or loss.

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

A contingent  deferred  sales  charge  (CDSC) is not charged when you exchange
shares of the Fund for shares of another  Oppenheimer  fund.  However,  if you
exchange your shares during the applicable  CDSC holding  period,  the holding
period will carry over to the fund shares that you acquire.  Similarly, if you
acquire shares of the Fund in exchange for shares of another  Oppenheimer fund
that are subject to a CDSC  holding  period,  that  holding  period will carry
over to the  acquired  shares of the Fund.  In either of these  situations,  a
CDSC may be imposed if the acquired  shares are redeemed before the end of the
CDSC holding period that applied to the exchanged shares.


There are a number of other special  conditions and limitations  that apply to
certain types of exchanges.  These conditions and  circumstances are described
in  detail  in the  "How to  Exchange  Shares"  section  in the  Statement  of
Additional Information.


HOW DO YOU SUBMIT EXCHANGE REQUESTS? Exchanges may be requested in writing,
by telephone or internet, or by establishing an Automatic Exchange Plan.

Written Exchange Requests. Send a request letter, signed by all owners of the
      account, to the Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover.
      Exchanges of shares for which share certificates have been issued
      cannot be processed unless the Transfer Agent receives the certificates
      with the request letter.

Telephone and Internet Exchange Requests. Telephone exchange requests may be
      made either by calling a service representative or by using PhoneLink
      by calling 1.800.225.5677. You may submit internet exchange requests on
      the OppenheimerFunds internet website, at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. You
      must have obtained a user I.D. and password to make transactions on
      that website. Telephone and/or internet exchanges may be made only
      between accounts that are registered with the same name(s) and address.
      Shares for which share certificates have been issued may not be
      exchanged by telephone or the internet.

Automatic Exchange Plan. Shareholders can authorize the Transfer Agent to
      exchange a pre-determined amount of shares automatically on a monthly,
      quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis.



Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the Statement of Additional
Information for more details.


ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON FREQUENT PURCHASES, REDEMPTIONS AND EXCHANGES?


Risks from Excessive Purchase, Redemption and Short-Term Exchange Activity.
The OppenheimerFunds exchange privilege affords investors the ability to
switch their investments among Oppenheimer funds if their investment needs
change. However, there are limits on that privilege. Frequent purchases,
redemptions and exchanges of fund shares may interfere with the Manager's
ability to manage the fund's investments efficiently, increase the fund's
transaction and administrative costs and/or affect the fund's performance,
depending on various factors, such as the size of the fund, the nature of its
investments, the amount of fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in
cash or cash equivalents, the aggregate dollar amount and the number and
frequency of trades. If large dollar amounts are involved in exchange and/or
redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio
securities at unfavorable times to meet redemption or exchange requests, and
the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased.

Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board of Trustees have adopted the
following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or
excessive exchanges, and/or purchase and redemption activity, while balancing
the needs of investors who seek liquidity from their investment and the
ability to exchange shares as investment needs change. There is no guarantee
that the policies and procedures described below will be sufficient to
identify and deter excessive short-term trading.

o     Timing of Exchanges. Exchanged shares are normally redeemed from one
      fund and the proceeds are reinvested in the fund selected for exchange
      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" or "street name" account) receives an exchange request
      that conforms to these policies. The request must be received by the
      close of the NYSE that day, which is normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern time,
      but may be earlier on some days, in order to receive that day's net
      asset value on the exchanged shares. Exchange requests received after
      the close of the NYSE will receive the next net asset value calculated
      after the request is received. However, the Transfer Agent may delay
      transmitting the proceeds from an exchange for up to five business days
      if it determines, in its discretion, that an earlier transmittal of the
      redemption proceeds to the receiving fund would be detrimental to
      either the fund from which the exchange is being made or the fund into
      which the exchange is being made. The proceeds will be invested in the
      fund into which the exchange is being made at the next net asset value
      calculated after the proceeds are received. In the event that such a
      delay in the reinvestment of proceeds occurs, the Transfer Agent will
      notify you or your financial representative.

o     Limits on Disruptive Activity. The Transfer Agent may, in its
      discretion, limit or terminate trading activity by any person, group or
      account that it believes would be disruptive, even if the activity has
      not exceeded the policy outlined in this Prospectus. The Transfer Agent
      may review and consider the history of frequent trading activity in all
      accounts in the Oppenheimer funds known to be under common ownership or
      control as part of the Transfer Agent's procedures to detect and deter
      excessive trading activity.


o     Exchanges of Client Accounts by Financial Advisers. The Fund and the
      Transfer Agent permit dealers and financial intermediaries to submit
      exchange requests on behalf of their customers (unless the customer has
      revoked that authority). The Distributor and/or the Transfer Agent have
      agreements with a number of financial intermediaries that permit them
      to submit exchange orders in bulk on behalf of their clients. Those
      intermediaries are required to follow the exchange policies stated in
      this Prospectus and to comply with additional, more stringent
      restrictions. Those additional 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. A fund or the
      Transfer Agent may limit or refuse bulk exchange requests submitted by
      such financial intermediaries if, in the Transfer Agent's judgment,
      exercised in its discretion, the exchanges would be disruptive to any
      of the funds involved in the transaction.

o     Redemptions of Shares. These exchange policy limits do not apply to
      redemptions of shares. Shareholders are permitted to redeem their
      shares on any regular business day, subject to the terms of this
      Prospectus. The Fund assesses a 2% fee on the proceeds of Fund shares
      that are redeemed or exchanged within 30 days after their purchase in
      certain circumstances. Further details are provided under "How to Sell
      Shares."


o     Right to Refuse Exchange and Purchase Orders. The Distributor and/or
      the Transfer Agent may refuse any purchase or exchange order in their
      discretion and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an
      order. The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege
      at any time. You will receive 60 days' notice of any material change in
      the exchange privilege unless applicable law allows otherwise.


o     Right to Terminate or Suspend Account Privileges. The Transfer Agent
      may send a written warning to direct shareholders that the Transfer
      Agent believes may be engaging in excessive purchases, redemptions
      and/or exchange activity and reserves the right to suspend or terminate
      the ability to purchase shares and/or exchange privileges for any
      account that the Transfer Agent determines, in carrying out these
      policies and in the exercise of its discretion, has engaged in
      disruptive or excessive trading activity, with or without such warning.


o     Omnibus Accounts. If you hold your shares of the Fund through a
      financial intermediary such as a broker-dealer, a bank, an insurance
      company separate account, an investment adviser, an administrator or
      trustee of a retirement plan or 529 plan, that holds your shares in an
      account under its name (these are sometimes referred to as "omnibus" or
      "street name" accounts), that financial intermediary may impose its own
      restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term or excessive
      trading. You should consult your financial intermediary to find out
      what trading restrictions, including limitations on exchanges, may
      apply.

While the Fund, the Distributor, the Manager and the Transfer Agent encourage
financial intermediaries to apply the Fund's policies to their customers who
invest indirectly in the Fund, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect
excessive short term trading activity facilitated by, or in accounts
maintained in, the "omnibus" or "street name" accounts of a financial
intermediary. Therefore the Transfer Agent might not be able to apply this
policy to accounts such as (a) accounts held in omnibus form in the name of a
broker-dealer or other financial institution, or (b) omnibus accounts held in
the name of a retirement plan or 529 plan trustee or administrator, or (c)
accounts held in the name of an insurance company for its separate
account(s), or (d) other accounts having multiple underlying owners but
registered in a manner such that the underlying beneficial owners are not
identified to the Transfer Agent.

However, the Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor overall purchase and
redemption activity in those accounts to seek to identify patterns that may
suggest excessive trading by the underlying owners. If evidence of possible
excessive trading activity is observed by the Transfer Agent, the financial
intermediary that is the registered owner will be asked to review account
activity, and to confirm to the Transfer Agent and the Fund that appropriate
action has been taken to curtail any excessive trading activity. However, the
Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in
omnibus or street name accounts ultimately depends on the capability and
cooperation of the financial intermediaries controlling those accounts.

Additional Policies and Procedures. The Fund's Board has adopted the
following additional policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent
and/or excessive exchanges and purchase and redemption activity:

o     30-Day Limit. A direct shareholder may exchange some or all of the
      shares of the Fund held in his or her account to another eligible
      Oppenheimer fund once in a 30 calendar-day period. When shares are
      exchanged into a fund account, that account will be "blocked" from
      further exchanges into another fund for a period of 30 calendar days
      from the date of the exchange. The block will apply to the full account
      balance and not just to the amount exchanged into the account. For
      example, if a shareholder exchanged $1,000 from one fund into another
      fund in which the shareholder already owned shares worth $10,000, then,
      following the exchange, the full account balance ($11,000 in this
      example) would be blocked from further exchanges into another fund for
      a period of 30 calendar days. A "direct shareholder" is one whose
      account is registered on the Fund's books showing the name, address and
      tax ID number of the beneficial owner.

o     Exchanges Into Money Market Funds. A direct shareholder will be
      permitted to exchange shares of a stock or bond fund for shares of a
      money market fund that offers an exchange privilege at any time, even
      if the shareholder has exchanged shares into the stock or bond fund
      during the prior 30 days. However, all of the shares held in that money
      market fund would then be blocked from further exchanges into another
      fund for 30 calendar days.


o     Dividend Reinvestments/B Share Conversions. Reinvestment of dividends
      or distributions from one fund to purchase shares of another fund and
      the conversion of Class B shares into Class A shares will not be
      considered exchanges for purposes of imposing the 30-day limit.


o     Asset Allocation. Third-party asset allocation and rebalancing programs
      will be subject to the 30-day limit described above. Asset allocation
      firms that want to exchange shares held in accounts on behalf of their
      customers must identify themselves to the Transfer Agent and execute an
      acknowledgement and agreement to abide by these policies with respect
      to their customers' accounts. "On-demand" exchanges outside the
      parameters of portfolio rebalancing programs will be subject to the
      30-day limit. However, investment programs by other Oppenheimer
      "funds-of-funds" that entail rebalancing of investments in underlying
      Oppenheimer funds will not be subject to these limits.


o     Automatic Exchange Plans. Accounts that receive exchange proceeds
      through automatic or systematic exchange plans that are established
      through the Transfer Agent will not be subject to the 30-day block as a
      result of those automatic or systematic exchanges (but may be blocked
      from exchanges, under the 30-day limit, if they receive proceeds from
      other exchanges).


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 in September. See the Statement of
      Additional Information 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.

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 pay them annually.
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 annually. 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 to qualify each year 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  managers of the
Fund look 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.  The  market for them may be very
limited  and they may be  difficult  for the Fund to dispose of  promptly  at an
acceptable price. 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.

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

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

     Subject  to the  limits  under  the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940  (the
"Investment  Company  Act"),  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 various  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.  The  Fund  may  lend  its  portfolio
securities  pursuant to policies  approved by the Fund's Board.  It may do so to
try to provide income or to raise cash for liquidity  purposes.  These loans are
limited to not more than 25% of the value of the Fund's net assets.

     The Fund has entered into a Securities  Lending  Agreement (the "Securities
Lending Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. ("JPMorgan Chase"). Under the
Securities Lending Agreement and applicable  regulatory  requirements (which are
subject to change), the collateral for such loans must, on each business day, be
at least equal to the value of the loaned  securities  and must consist of cash,
bank letters of credit or securities of the U.S.  Government (or its agencies or
instrumentalities),  or other cash equivalents in which the Fund is permitted to
invest.  To be acceptable as  collateral,  a bank letter of credit must obligate
the bank to pay to JPMorgan Chase, as agent, amounts demanded by the Fund if the
demand meets the terms of the letter. Both the issuing bank and the terms of the
letter of credit must be  satisfactory to JPMorgan Chase and the Fund. The terms
of the loans must also meet applicable tests under the Internal Revenue Code and
permit the Fund to reacquire loaned  securities on five business days' notice or
in time to vote on any material matters. The Securities Lending Agreement may be
terminated by either JPMorgan Chase or the Fund on 30 days' written notice.

     Pursuant  to the  Securities  Lending  Agreement,  the Fund will  receive a
percentage  of all annual net income  (i.e.,  net of rebates to the borrower and
certain other approved expenses) from securities lending transactions.  Such net
income  includes  earnings from the investment of any cash  collateral  received
from a borrower and loan fees paid or payable by a borrower in  connection  with
loans secured by collateral other than cash.

     There are some  risks in  connection  with  securities  lending,  including
possible delays in receiving additional collateral from the borrower to secure a
loan or delays in recovering  the loaned  securities  if the borrower  defaults.
JPMorgan Chase has agreed, in general, to guarantee the obligations of borrowers
to return  loaned  securities  to the Fund and to be  responsible  for  expenses
relating to securities lending. The Fund, however, will be responsible for risks
associated  with the  investment  of cash  collateral,  including  the risk of a
default by the issuer of a security in which cash  collateral has been invested.
If that  occurs,  the Fund may incur  additional  costs in seeking to obtain the
collateral  or may lose the amount of the  collateral  investment.  The Fund may
also lose money if the value of the  investments  purchased with cash collateral
decreases.

     |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.

     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.

     |X| Investment in Other Investment  Companies.  The Fund can also invest in
the securities of other investment companies,  which can include open-end funds,
closed-end funds and unit investment trusts,  subject to the limits set forth in
the  Investment  Company  Act  that  apply to those  types of  investments.  For
example,  the Fund can  invest in  Exchange-Traded  Funds,  which are  typically
open-end funds or unit investment trusts,  listed on a stock exchange.  The Fund
might do so as a way of  gaining  exposure  to the  segments  of the  equity  or
fixed-income  markets  represented by the Exchange-Traded  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 or other instruments  issued or guaranteed
by any one  issuer if more  than 5% of its total  assets  would be  invested  in
securities or other instruments of that issuer or if it would then own more than
10% of that issuer's voting  securities.  This limitation  applies to 75% of the
Fund's total assets. The limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed
by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities or securities
of other investment companies.

     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 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.

     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,  except to the extent permitted
under the  Investment  Company Act, the rules or  regulations  thereunder or any
exemption  therefrom,  as such statute,  rules or regulations  may be amended or
interpreted from time to time.

     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.

     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.

     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.

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

     o Public  Disclosure.  The  Fund's  portfolio  holdings  are made  publicly
available  no later than 60 days  after the close of each of the  Fund's  fiscal
quarters in semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders, or in its Statements
of  Investments  on Form  N-Q,  which  are  publicly  available  at the SEC.  In
addition,  the top 10 or  more  holdings  are  posted  on the  OppenheimerFunds'
website  at  www.oppenheimerfunds.com  in the  "Fund  Profiles"  section.  Other
general  information about the Fund's portfolio  investments,  such as portfolio
composition  by asset  class,  industry,  country,  currency,  credit  rating or
maturity, may also be posted with a 15-day lag.

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

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

     A list  of the top 10 or  more  portfolio  securities  holdings  (based  on
invested  assets),  listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each month
may be disclosed to third parties  (subject to the  procedures  below) no sooner
than 15 days after month-end.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     o Response to regulatory  requests for  information  (the SEC, NASD,  state
securities regulators, and/or foreign securities authorities,  including without
limitation  requests for  information in  inspections or for position  reporting
purposes),

     o To potential  sub-advisers  of  portfolios  (pursuant to  confidentiality
agreements),

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

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

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

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

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

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

How the Fund is Managed

     Organization and History. The Fund is an open-end,  diversified  management
investment  company with an unlimited number of authorized  shares of beneficial
interest. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust in June 1990.
Prior to June 2003,  the Fund's name was  "Oppenheimer  Global Growth and Income
Fund."

     |X| Classes of Shares.  The Trustees are  authorized,  without  shareholder
approval,  to create new series and classes of shares,  to  reclassify  unissued
shares into additional  series or classes and to 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,  preemptive rights 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 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     will generally have a different net asset value,
o     will generally 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 a 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 hold shareholder  meetings 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,  and a Governance  Committee.  Each committee is comprised  solely of
Trustees who are not "interested  persons" under the Investment Company Act (the
"Independent  Trustees").  The members of the Audit Committee are Joel W. Motley
(Chairman),  Mary F. Miller, Kenneth A. Randall, Joseph M. Wikler, Peter I. Wold
and Russell  Reynolds.  The Audit  Committee  held 6 meetings  during the Fund's
fiscal year ended  September 30, 2006. The Audit  Committee  furnishes the Board
with   recommendations   regarding  the  selection  of  the  Fund's  independent
registered  public  accounting  firm  (also  referred  to  as  the  "independent
Auditors").  Other main functions of the Audit  Committee  outlined in the Audit
Committee Charter,  include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and
results of financial statement audits and the audit fees charged; (ii) reviewing
reports  from the Fund's  independent  Auditors  regarding  the Fund's  internal
accounting  procedures and controls;  (iii) reviewing reports from the Manager's
Internal Audit  Department;  (iv)  maintaining a separate line of  communication
between  the Fund's  independent  Auditors  and the  Independent  Trustees;  (v)
reviewing  the  independence  of  the  Fund's  independent  Auditors;  and  (vi)
pre-approving  the  provision of any audit or  non-audit  services by the Fund's
independent  Auditors,  including tax services,  that are not  prohibited by the
Sarbanes-Oxley  Act, to the Fund,  the Manager  and  certain  affiliates  of the
Manager.

     The members of the Regulatory & Oversight Committee are Robert G. Galli
(Chairman),  Matthew P. Fink,  Phillip A.  Griffiths,  Joel W. Motley and Joseph
Wikler.  The Regulatory  &  Oversight  Committee held 6 meetings  during the
Fund's fiscal year ended  September 30, 2006.  The  Regulatory  &  Oversight
Committee  evaluates  and  reports  to  the  Board  on  the  Fund's  contractual
arrangements,  including the Investment  Advisory and  Distribution  Agreements,
transfer agency and shareholder  service agreements and custodian  agreements as
well as the  policies  and  procedures  adopted  by the Fund to comply  with the
Investment Company Act and other applicable law, among other duties as set forth
in the Regulatory & Oversight Committee's Charter.

     The  members  of  the   Governance   Committee  are  Phillip  A.  Griffiths
(Chairman), Kenneth A. Randall, Russell S. Reynolds, Jr., Peter I. Wold, Matthew
Fink, Mary F. Miller and Robert Galli. The Governance  Committee held 8 meetings
during the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. The Governance Committee
reviews the Fund's  governance  guidelines,  the adequacy of the Fund's Codes of
Ethics,  and develops  qualification  criteria for Board members consistent with
the Fund's governance  guidelines,  and provides the Board with  recommendations
for the proxy voting of portfolio securities held by the Fund and monitors proxy
voting by the Fund,  among other duties set forth in the Governance  Committee's
Charter.

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

     To date,  the  Governance  Committee has been able to identify from its own
resources  an ample  number  of  qualified  candidates.  Nonetheless,  under the
current policy of the Board, if the Board determines that a vacancy exists or is
likely to exist on the Board, the Governance  Committee will consider candidates
for Board membership including those recommended by the Fund's shareholders. The
Governance  Committee will consider  nominees  recommended by Independent  Board
members or  recommended  by any other  Board  members  including  Board  members
affiliated  with the Fund's  Manager.  The Governance  Committee may, upon Board
approval,  retain an  executive  search  firm to assist in  screening  potential
candidates.  Upon Board  approval,  the  Governance  Committee  may also use the
services of legal,  financial, or other external counsel that it deems necessary
or desirable in the screening process.  Shareholders wishing to submit a nominee
for election to the Board may do so by mailing  their  submission to the offices
of OppenheimerFunds,  Inc., Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th
Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008,  to the attention of the Board of Trustees
of Oppenheimer Global Opportunities Fund, c/o the Secretary of the Fund.

     Submissions should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following:  (1) the
name, address, and business,  educational,  and/or other pertinent background of
the person being recommended;  (2) a statement  concerning whether the person is
an "interested  person" as defined in the Investment  Company Act; (3) any other
information  that the Fund would be  required  to  include in a proxy  statement
concerning the person if he or she was  nominated;  and (4) the name and address
of  the  person  submitting  the  recommendation   and,  if  that  person  is  a
shareholder,  the period for which that  person held Fund  shares.  Shareholders
should note that a person who owns  securities  issued by  Massachusetts  Mutual
Life  Insurance  Company (the parent  company of the Manager) would be deemed an
"interested person" under the Investment Company Act. In addition, certain other
relationships   with   Massachusetts   Mutual  Life  Insurance  Company  or  its
subsidiaries,  with registered broker-dealers,  or with the Funds' outside legal
counsel may cause a person to be deemed an "interested person."

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

     Prior to  January  1,  2007,  the  Board had a Proxy  Committee.  The Proxy
Committee  held 2 meetings  during the Fund's  fiscal year ended  September  30,
2006.  The Proxy  Committee's  responsibilities  with regard to  recommendations
concerning  and monitoring of proxy voting by the Fund have been assigned to the
Governance Committee effective January 1, 2007.

     In addition to being a Board  member of each of the Board I Funds,  Messrs.
Galli and Wruble are directors or trustees of ten other portfolios.

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

     Messrs. Dishmon, Jennings, Gillespie, Murphy, Petersen, Szilagyi, Vandehey,
Wixted and Zack and Mss.  Bloomberg and Ives, who are officers of the Fund, hold
the same offices with one or more of the other Board I Funds.  As of December 1,
2006 the  Trustees  and  officers  of the Fund,  as a group,  owned of record or
beneficially  less than 1% of any class of  shares  of the Fund.  The  foregoing
statement  does not  reflect  ownership  of shares held of record by an employee
benefit plan for  employees of the Manager,  other than the shares  beneficially
owned under that plan by the  officers of the Fund listed  above.  In  addition,
none of the  Independent  Trustees (nor any of their  immediate  family members)
owns securities of either the Manager or the Distributor of the Board I Funds or
of any entity directly or indirectly controlling,  controlled by or under common
control with the Manager or the Distributor.

     Biographical  Information.  The Trustees and officers, their positions with

     1.  "Aggregate  Compensation  From the  Fund"  includes  fees and  deferred
compensation, if any.

     2. "Estimated  Annual Benefits 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  with  respect  to  certain  Board I Funds  as  described  below  under
"Retirement Plan for Trustees."

     3. Includes $3,012 deferred by Mr. Yeutter under the "Compensation Deferral
Plan" described below.

     4. Includes $49,811 estimated  benefits to be paid to Mr. Galli for serving
as a  director  or trustee  of 10 other  Oppenheimer  funds that are not Board I
Funds.

     5. Includes $135,500 paid to Mr. Galli for serving as a director or trustee
of 10 other Oppenheimer funds (at December 31, 2005) that are not Board I Funds.

     6.  Includes  $10,455  deferred by Mr.  Griffiths  under the  "Compensation
Deferral Plan" described below.

     7. Includes $4,182 deferred by Mr. Motley under the "Compensation  Deferral

accrued with respect to Mr. Randall.

     9. Mr. Wikler and Mr. Wold were elected as Board members of 23 of the Board
I Funds,  including  the Fund,  as of August 17, 2005.  They had served as Board
members of 10 other Board I Funds prior to that date.

     10. Includes $3,589 deferred by Mr. Wikler under the "Compensation Deferral
Plan" described below.

     11. Includes $6,686 paid to Mr. Wikler for serving as a director or trustee

Fund.

     12.  Includes  $6,686 paid to Mr. Wold for serving as a director or trustee

2005.

     14.  Estimated  benefits to be paid to Mr. Wruble for serving as a director
or  trustee  of 10  other  Oppenheimer  funds  that are not  Board I Funds.  Mr.
Wruble's  service  as a  director  or  trustee of such funds will not be counted
towards the fulfillment of his eligibility  requirements  for payments under the
Board I retirement plan, described below.

     15.  Includes  $135,500  paid to Mr.  Wruble for  serving as a director  or
trustee of 10 other  Oppenheimer funds (at December 31, 2005) that are not Board
I Funds.


     Retirement  Plan for Trustees.  The Board I Funds have 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 director
or trustee  for any of the Board I Funds for at least seven years to be eligible
for retirement plan benefits and must serve for at least 15 years to be eligible
for the  maximum  benefit.  The amount of  retirement  benefits  a Trustee  will
receive depends on the amount of the Trustee's  compensation,  including  future
compensation and the length of his or her service on the Board.

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

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

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

     |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 Code of
Ethics can also be viewed as part of the Fund's  registration  statement  on the
SEC's EDGAR database at the SEC's Internet website at www.sec.gov. Copies may be
obtained, after paying a duplicating fee, by electronic request at the following
E-mail address: publicinfo@sec.gov., or by writing to the SEC's Public Reference
Section, Washington, D.C. 20549-0102.

     |X| 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
Portfolio  Proxy Voting  Policies and Procedures  include  provisions to address
conflicts  of  interest  that may arise  between the Fund and the Manager or the
Manager's affiliates or business relationships.  Such a conflict of interest may
arise, for example,  where the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager manages or
administers  the  assets of a pension  plan or other  investment  account of the
portfolio company  soliciting the proxy or seeks to serve in that capacity.  The
Manager and its affiliates generally seek to avoid such conflicts by maintaining
separate investment decision making processes to prevent the sharing of business
objectives with respect to proposed or actual actions regarding  portfolio proxy
voting   decisions.   Additionally,   the  Manager  employs  the  following  two
procedures:  (1) if the proposal that gives rise to the conflict is specifically
addressed  in the  Guidelines,  the  Manager  will vote the  portfolio  proxy in
accordance with the Guidelines,  provided that they do not provide discretion to
the  Manager  on how to vote on the  matter;  and  (2) if such  proposal  is not
specifically addressed in the Guidelines or the Guidelines provide discretion to
the  Manager  on how to vote,  the  Manager  will  vote in  accordance  with the
third-party proxy voting agent's general recommended  guidelines on the proposal
provided that the Manager has reasonably determined that there is no conflict of
interest on the part of the proxy voting  agent.  If neither of the previous two
procedures provides an appropriate voting recommendation, the Manager may retain
an  independent  fiduciary  to advise the Manager on how to vote the proposal or
may abstain  from voting.  The  Guidelines'  provisions  with respect to certain
routine  and  non-routine  proxy  proposals  are  summarized  below:  o The Fund
generally votes with the  recommendation  of the issuer's  management on routine
matters,  including ratification of the independent registered public accounting
firm, unless circumstances indicate otherwise. o The Fund evaluates nominees for
director  nominated  by  management  on  a  case-by-case  basis,  examining  the
following  factors,  among  others:  Composition  of the  board  and  key  board
committees,  attendance at board meetings,  corporate governance  provisions and
takeover activity, long-term company performance and the nominee's investment in
the company. o In general, the Fund opposes anti-takeover proposals and supports
the  elimination,  or the ability of shareholders to vote on the preservation or
elimination,  of anti-takeover  proposals,  absent unusual circumstances.  o The
Fund supports shareholder proposals to reduce a super-majority vote requirement,
and opposes management proposals to add a super-majority vote requirement. o The
Fund opposes  proposals  to classify  the board of directors or trustees.  o The
Fund  supports  proposals to  eliminate  cumulative  voting.  o The Fund opposes
re-pricing of stock options without shareholder  approval.  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 Form N-PX,  with its  complete  proxy  voting
record  for the 12 months  ended June 30th,  no later than  August  31st of each
year. The Fund's Form N-PX filing is available (i) without charge, upon request,
by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.525.7048 and (ii) on the SEC's website at
www.sec.gov.

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

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

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fiscal Year ended 9/30:          Management Fees Paid to OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           2004                                $19,459,888
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           2005                                $22,656,858
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           2006                                $28,804,292
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

     The  agreement  permits  the Manager to act as  investment  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.


     Portfolio  Managers.  The Fund's portfolio is managed by Frank Jennings and
Randall  C.  Dishmon  (each  is  referred  to  as  a  "Portfolio   Manager"  and
collectively  they are referred to as the  "Portfolio  Managers").  They are the
persons  who  are  responsible  for  the  day-to-day  management  of the  Fund's
investments.


     Other Accounts Managed.  As of September 30, 2006, neither Mr. Jennings nor
Mr.  Dishmon  managed any other fund or account.  Other  accounts do not include
personal accounts of portfolio managers and their families, which are subject to
the Code of Ethics.

     Compensation of the Portfolio  Managers.  The Fund's Portfolio Managers are
employed and  compensated  by the  Manager,  not the Fund.  Under the  Manager's
compensation  program for its portfolio managers and portfolio  analysts,  their
compensation  is based  primarily on the investment  performance  results of the
funds and accounts  they  manage,  rather than on the  financial  success of the
Manager.  This is  intended  to align  the  portfolio  managers'  and  analysts'
interests  with the success of the funds and accounts and their  investors.  The
Manager's  compensation  structure  is  designed  to attract  and retain  highly
qualified investment management  professionals and to reward individual and team
contributions  toward creating shareholder value. As of September 30, 2006, each
Portfolio Manager's  compensation consisted of three elements: a base salary, an
annual discretionary bonus and eligibility to participate in long-term awards of
options and  appreciation  rights in regard to the common stock of the Manager's
holding  company  parent.  Senior  portfolio  managers  may also be  eligible to
participate in the Manager's deferred compensation plan.

     The base pay component of each portfolio  manager is reviewed  regularly to
ensure that it reflects the performance of the individual,  is commensurate with
the requirements of the particular  portfolio,  reflects any specific competence
or specialty of the individual manager, and is competitive with other comparable
positions,   to  help  the  Manager  attract  and  retain  talent.   The  annual
discretionary  bonus is  determined  by senior  management of the Manager and is
based on a number of factors, including a fund's pre-tax performance for periods
of up to five  years,  measured  against an  appropriate  benchmark  selected by
management.  The Lipper  benchmark  with  respect to the Fund is Lipper - Global
Flexible  Portfolio  Funds.  Other factors include  management  quality (such as
style  consistency,  risk  management,  sector  coverage,  team  leadership  and
coaching) and organizational  development.  The Portfolio Managers' compensation
is not based on the total value of the Fund's  portfolio  assets,  although  the
Fund's  investment  performance  may increase  those  assets.  The  compensation
structure  is also  intended  to be  internally  equitable  and  serve to reduce
potential  conflicts  of interest  between the Fund and other funds and accounts
managed by the Portfolio Managers. The compensation structure of the other funds
managed by the Portfolio  Managers is the same as the compensation  structure of
the Fund, described above.

     Ownership of Fund Shares. As of September 30, 2006, the Portfolio  Managers
beneficially owned shares of the Fund as follows:

            ----------------------------------------------------------
                  Portfolio Manager             Range of Shares

            ----------------------------------------------------------
            ----------------------------------------------------------
            Randall Dishmon                    $100,001 - $500,000
            ----------------------------------------------------------

Brokerage Policies of the Fund

     Brokerage  Provisions  of the  Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  One of the
duties of the Manager under the investment  advisory agreement is to arrange the
portfolio  transactions for the Fund. The advisory agreement contains provisions
relating to the  employment  of  broker-dealers  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, 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  for the services  provided.  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 both brokerage and research  services to the Fund. The
commissions  paid to those brokers may be higher than another  qualified  broker
would  charge,  if  the  Manager  makes  a good  faith  determination  that  the
commission is fair and reasonable in relation to the services provided.

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

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

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

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

     Rule  12b-1  under  the  Investment  Company  Act  prohibits  any fund from
compensating  a broker or dealer for  promoting or selling the fund's  shares by
(1) directing to that broker or dealer any of the fund's portfolio transactions,
or (2)  directing  any other  remuneration  to that  broker or  dealer,  such as
commissions,  mark-ups,  mark  downs or other  fees  from the  fund's  portfolio
transactions,  that were  effected  by another  broker or dealer  (these  latter
arrangements  are considered to be a type of "step-out"  transaction).  In other
words, a fund and its investment adviser cannot use the fund's brokerage for the
purpose of rewarding broker-dealers for selling the fund's shares.

     However,  the Rule permits funds to effect brokerage  transactions  through
firms that also sell fund shares,  provided that certain  procedures are adopted
to prevent a quid pro quo with respect to portfolio  brokerage  allocations.  As
permitted by the Rule, the Manager has adopted  procedures (and the Fund's Board
of  Trustees  has  approved  those  procedures)  that  permit the Fund to direct
portfolio  securities  transactions  to brokers or dealers  that also promote or
sell  shares  of the  Fund,  subject  to  the  "best  execution"  considerations
discussed  above.  Those  procedures are designed to prevent:  (1) the Manager's
personnel who effect the Fund's portfolio  transactions from taking into account
a broker's or dealer's promotion or sales of the Fund shares when allocating the
Fund's portfolio transactions, and (2) the Fund, the Manager and the Distributor
from entering into agreements or understandings  under which the Manager directs
or is expected to direct the Fund's brokerage directly,  or through a "step-out"
arrangement,  to any  broker or  dealer in  consideration  of that  broker's  or
dealer's  promotion  or sale of the  Fund's  shares or the  shares of any of the
other Oppenheimer funds.

     The investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate brokerage
for research services. The research services provided by a particular broker may
be useful both to the Fund and to one or more of the other  accounts  advised by
the  Manager or its  affiliates.  Investment  research  may be  supplied  to the
Manager by the broker or 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,  analytical software and
similar products and services. If a research service also assists the Manager in
a non-research capacity (such as bookkeeping or other administrative functions),
then only the percentage or component that provides assistance to the Manager in
the investment decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.

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

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

     During the fiscal years ended  September 30, 2004,  2005 and 2006, the Fund
paid the total brokerage  commissions  indicated in the chart below.  During the
fiscal year ended  September 30 2006, the Fund paid $7,235,390 in commissions to
firms that provide  brokerage and research  services to the Fund with respect to
$5,200,890,699 of aggregate portfolio  transactions.  All such transactions were
on a "best  execution"  basis,  as described  above.  The  provision of research
services was not necessarily a factor in the placement of all such transactions.

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  retained by
the  Distributor on the redemption of shares during the Fund's three most recent
fiscal years are shown in the tables below.

     Distribution  and Service  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 Trustees(1), 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.

     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 period 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.

     |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 periodically 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  periodically  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, 2006  payments  under the Class A
plan totaled $6,480,441,  of which $37,247 was retained by the Distributor under
the arrangement described above,  regarding  grandfathered  retirement accounts,
and included $290,507 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 periodic
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  periodically 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 a new  investor
directly  from  the  Distributor   without  the  investor   designating  another
registered broker-dealer. If the investor no longer has another broker-dealer of
record for an existing account,  the Distributor is automatically  designated as
the  broker-dealer  of  record,  but  solely  for the  purpose  of acting as the
investor's agent to purchase the shares. In those cases, the Distributor retains
the  asset-based  sales charge paid on Class B, Class C and Class N shares,  but
does not retain any service fees as to the assets represented by that account.

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

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

Payments to Fund Intermediaries

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

     Possible  types of payments to financial  intermediaries  include,  without
limitation, those discussed below.

     o Payments made by the Fund, or by an investor  buying or selling shares of
the Fund may include:

     o  depending  on the share  class  that the  investor  selects,  contingent
deferred sales charges or initial  front-end sales charges,  all or a portion of
which  front-end  sales  charges are  payable by the  Distributor  to  financial
intermediaries  (see  "About  Your  Account"  in  the  Prospectus);   o  ongoing
asset-based  payments  attributable to the share class selected,  including fees
payable under the Fund's  distribution  and/or  service plans adopted under Rule
12b-1 under the  Investment  Company Act,  which are paid from the Fund's assets
and  allocated  to the class of shares to which the plan relates (see "About the
Fund -- Distribution and Service Plans" above); o shareholder servicing payments
for providing omnibus accounting, recordkeeping, networking, sub-transfer agency
or other administrative or shareholder  services,  including retirement plan and
529 plan administrative  services fees, which are paid from the assets of a Fund
as reimbursement to the Manager or Distributor for expenses they incur on behalf
of the Fund.

     o Payments  made by the  Manager  or  Distributor  out of their  respective
resources  and assets,  which may  include  profits  the  Manager  derives  from
investment  advisory  fees  paid by the  Fund.  These  payments  are made at the
discretion of the Manager and/or the Distributor. These payments, often referred
to as "revenue sharing" payments, may be in addition to the payments by the Fund
listed above.

     o These types of payments may reflect  compensation for marketing  support,
support provided in offering the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds through certain
trading platforms and programs, transaction processing or other services;

     o The Manager and Distributor  each may also pay other  compensation to the
extent the payment is not  prohibited by law or by any  self-regulatory  agency,
such as the NASD.  Payments are made based on the guidelines  established by the
Manager and Distributor, subject to applicable law.

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Additionally,  the  Manager  or  Distributor  may  make  payments  for firm
support,  such as business  planning  assistance,  advertising,  and educating a
financial  intermediary's  sales  personnel  about  the  Oppenheimer  funds  and
shareholder financial planning needs.

     For  the  year  ended   December  31,   2005,   the   following   financial
intermediaries that are broker-dealers offering shares of the Oppenheimer funds,
and/or  their  respective  affiliates,   received  revenue  sharing  or  similar
distribution-related  payments from the Manager or Distributor  for marketing or
program support:

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:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Other Performance  Comparisons.  The Fund compares its performance annually
to that of an  appropriate  broadly-based  market index in its Annual  Report to
shareholders.  You can obtain that  information by contacting the Transfer Agent
at the  addresses or telephone  numbers shown on the cover of this SAI. The Fund
may also compare its performance to that of other  investments,  including other
mutual  funds,  or  use  rankings  of its  performance  by  independent  ranking
entities. 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.
("Morningstar"),  an independent  mutual fund  monitoring  service.  Morningstar
rates mutual funds in their specialized  market sector.  The Fund is rated among
world stock fund categories.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                     How to Buy Shares
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

     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 "NYSE").  The NYSE 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 NYSE, 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 SAI  because the  Distributor  or dealer or broker  incurs  little or no
selling expenses.

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

     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 SAI,  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"),  you can reduce the
sales  charge  rate  that  applies  to your  purchases  of Class A shares if you
purchase  Class A,  Class B or Class C shares  of the Fund or other  Oppenheimer
funds during a 13-month  period.  The total amount of your purchases of Class A,
Class B and Class C shares will  determine the sales charge rate that applies to
your Class A share  purchases  during that period.  Purchases made up to 90 days
before  the date that you  submit a Letter of Intent  will be  included  in that
determination.  Class A shares  of  Oppenheimer  Money  Market  Fund,  Inc.  and
Oppenheimer  Cash  Reserves  on which you have not paid a sales  charge  and any
Class N shares you purchase, or may have purchased,  will not be counted towards
satisfying the purchases specified in a Letter.

     A Letter is an investor's statement in writing to the Distributor of his or
her  intention  to  purchase a  specified  value of Class A, Class B and Class C
shares of the Fund and other  Oppenheimer  funds  during a 13-month  period (the
"Letter  period").  The  Letter  states  the  investor's  intention  to make the
aggregate  amount of  purchases  of shares which will equal or exceed the amount
specified in the Letter.  Purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or capital
gains distributions and purchases made at net asset value (i.e. without paying a
front-end or contingent  deferred  sales charge) do not count toward  satisfying
the amount of the Letter.

     Each  purchase  of  Class A shares  under  the  Letter  will be made at the
offering  price  (including  the  sales  charge)  that  would  apply 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 and Class C shares of other  Oppenheimer funds acquired subject
to a contingent deferred sales charge, and

     (c) Class A, Class B or Class C 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 or Class
C 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.

     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 Appendix C to this SAI.  Certain  special  sales charge
arrangements  described in that Appendix apply to retirement plans whose records
are maintained on a daily  valuation  basis by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner &
Smith,  Inc.  ("Merrill  Lynch")  or an  independent  record  keeper  that has a
contract or special  arrangement  with  Merrill  Lynch.  If on the date the plan
sponsor signed the Merrill Lynch record keeping  service  agreement the plan 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 or an affiliate 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 a purchase order of more than $100,000 for
Class B shares or a purchase  order of $1 million  or more to  purchase  Class C
shares on behalf of a single  investor (not  including  dealer  "street name" or
omnibus accounts).

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

     Class A 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 SAI) 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 Retirement  Plans with at least 100 eligible  employees or $500,000 or
more in plan assets,

     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 in 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.

     To access account documents  electronically via eDocs Direct,  please visit
the  Service  Center  on  our  website  at   www.oppenheimerfunds.com   or  call
1.888.470.0862 for instructions.

     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  NYSE on each day that  the  NYSE 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 NYSE normally closes at
4:00 p.m.,  Eastern time, but may close earlier on some other days (for example,
in case of weather  emergencies or on days falling before a U.S.  holiday).  All
references  to time in this SAI mean  "Eastern  time."  The NYSE's  most  recent
annual  announcement  (which is subject to change)  states that it will close on
New Year's Day,  Martin  Luther King,  Jr. Day,  Presidents'  Day,  Good Friday,
Memorial Day,  Independence Day, Labor Day,  Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.
It may also close on other days.

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

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

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

     o Equity  securities  traded on a U.S.  securities  exchange  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 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,  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 on the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price
on the principal  exchange on the valuation  date. If the put, call or future is
not  traded on an  exchange,  it shall be valued by the mean  between  "bid" and
"asked" prices obtained by the Manager from two active market makers. In certain
cases that may be at the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available.

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


How to Sell Shares

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

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

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

     o Class A shares  purchased  subject to an initial  sales charge or Class A
shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or

     o Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred sales
charge when redeemed.

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

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

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

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

     Involuntary  Redemptions.  The Fund's  Board of  Trustees  has the right to
cause the  involuntary  redemption  of the  shares  held in any  account  if the
aggregate  net asset  value of those  shares  is less  than $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 SAI. 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 NYSE 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 NYSE closes.  Normally,  the NYSE closes at 4:00 p.m., but may do so earlier
on some days.

     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 SAI).

     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 SAI.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


How to Exchange Shares

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

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

Developing Markets Fund and Oppenheimer  International Small Company Fund may be
acquired by  exchange  only with a minimum  initial  investment  of $50,000.  An
existing  shareholder of each fund may make additional  exchanges into that fund
with as little as $50.

     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  Oppenheimer
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  Oppenheimer  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 Except  with  respect  to the  Class B shares  described  in the next two
paragraphs,  the  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  Oppenheimer  Limited  Term  California
Municipal Fund,  Oppenheimer  Limited-Term  Government Fund, Oppenheimer Limited
Term Municipal Fund, Limited Term New York Municipal Fund and Oppenheimer Senior
Floating Rate Fund,  the Class B contingent  deferred sales charge is imposed on
the  acquired  shares if they are  redeemed  within  five  years of the  initial
purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

     o With respect to Class B shares of  Oppenheimer  Cash  Reserves  that were
acquired  through the  exchange  of Class B shares  initially  purchased  in the
Oppenheimer  Capital  Preservation  Fund, the Class B contingent  deferred sales
charge is imposed on the acquired  shares if they are redeemed within five years
of that initial purchase.

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

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

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

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

     |X| Limits on Multiple  Exchange  Orders.  The Fund  reserves  the right to
reject  telephone or written  exchange  requests  submitted in bulk by anyone on
behalf of more than one account.

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

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

     When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another,  any
special  account  features  that are available in the new fund (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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     Investment  income  that may be received  by the Fund from  sources  within
foreign  countries may be subject to foreign taxes  withheld at the source.  The
United  States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign  countries  which
entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from,  taxes on such income.
The Fund may be subject to U.S. Federal income tax, and an interest  charge,  on
certain  distributions  or gains  from the sale of shares  of a foreign  company
considered  to be a PFIC,  even if those  amounts are paid out as  dividends  to
shareholders.  To avoid imposition of the interest charge, the Fund may elect to
"mark to market" all PFIC shares that it holds at the end of each taxable  year.
In that case,  any  increase or decrease in the value of those  shares  would be
recognized  as ordinary  income or as  ordinary  loss (but only to the extent of
previously recognized "mark-to-market" gains).

     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 with a copy sent to
the IRS.

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

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

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

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

     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 with a copy sent to the IRS.

     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  into which you may  exchange
shares.  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 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

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, 2006, and the related statement of operations for the year
then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the
two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years
in the five-year 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, 2006, 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, 2006, the results of
its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each
of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for
each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Oppenheimer Global Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek capital appreciation
consistent with preservation of principal, while providing current income. The
Fund's investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).

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

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SECURITIES VALUATION. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as
of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4:00 P.M.
Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. Securities may be
valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Trustees. Securities listed or traded on National
Stock Exchanges or other domestic exchanges are valued based on the last sale
price of the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund's
assets are valued. Securities traded on NASDAQ(R) are valued based on the
closing price provided by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund's assets are
valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price
on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the closing "bid" and
"asked" prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities traded on
foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price on the principal
exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing
service, prior to the time when the Fund's assets are valued. In the absence of
a sale, the security is valued at the official closing price on the principal
exchange. Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments
having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed
securities will be valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices.
Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at
the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange
as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most
recently prior to, the time when the Fund's assets are valued. Securities
(including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily
available are valued at their fair value. Foreign and domestic securities whose
values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a
significant event occurring before the Fund's assets are valued but after the
close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is
determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term "money market type" debt
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost (which approximates market value).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION. The Fund's accounting records are maintained in
U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and
amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign
investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New
York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange"), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each
day the Exchange is open for business. Foreign exchange rates may be valued
primarily using dealer supplied valuations or a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Trustees.

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

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated funds
advised by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading
accounts on a daily basis. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase
agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held
by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that
the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest
and principal. In the event of default by the other party to the agreement,
retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued

ALLOCATION OF INCOME, EXPENSES, GAINS AND LOSSES. Income, expenses (other than
those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a
daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net
assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a
specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FEDERAL TAXES. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net
realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any,
to shareholders, therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is
required.

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

1. The Fund had $985,478 of post-October foreign currency losses which were
deferred.

2. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the Fund did not utilize any
capital loss carryforward.

3. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, the Fund utilized
$227,605,725 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in
that fiscal year.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for
financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and
distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net
realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal
income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the
fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in
which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund. Accordingly, the
following amounts have been reclassified for September 30, 2006. Net assets of
the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of
unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for
federal income tax purposes as of September 30, 2006 are noted below. The
primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of

TRUSTEES' COMPENSATION. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for the
Fund's independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees
paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the year ended
September 30, 2006, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were increased by
$32,025 and payments of $40,868 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an
accumulated liability of $440,799 as of September 30, 2006.

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

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Continued

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS. Dividends and distributions to
shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,
are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if
any, are declared and paid annually.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INVESTMENT INCOME. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon
ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the
ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend
income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities
received. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization
of premium, is accrued as earned.

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

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

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OTHER. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting
period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

$6,865,851 to OFS for services to the Fund.

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

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE PLAN (12b-1) FEES. Under its General Distributor's
Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the Distributor)
acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of
the Fund's classes of shares.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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
periodically 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 periodically for
providing personal services and maintenance of accounts of their customers that
hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with
respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent
periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the plan are detailed in the Statement
of Operations.


 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the
distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the plans, the Fund
pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and
Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a
service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or
Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the
Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the
Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of
the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior
to the effective date of such termination. The Distributor's aggregate
uncompensated expenses under the plan at September 30, 2006 for Class B, Class C
and Class N shares were $11,949,528, $9,173,630 and $735,838, respectively. Fees
incurred by the Fund under the plans are detailed in the Statement of
Operations.

prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the
Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on
the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period

5. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign
currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into foreign
currency contracts to settle specific purchases or sales of securities
denominated in a foreign currency and for protection from adverse exchange rate
fluctuation. Risks to the Fund include the potential inability of the
counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.

      The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual
commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or
depreciation are determined using prevailing foreign currency exchange rates.
Unrealized appreciation and

5. FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS Continued

depreciation on foreign currency contracts are reported in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of
Operations with the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

      The Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the
foreign transaction. Contracts closed or settled with the same broker are
recorded as net realized gains or losses. Such realized gains and losses are
reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of
Operations.

As of September 30, 2006, the Fund had outstanding foreign currency contracts as

6. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB
Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES.
FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an
enterprise's financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109,
ACCOUNTING FOR INCOME TAXES. FIN 48 requires the evaluation of tax positions
taken in the course of preparing the Fund's tax returns to determine whether it
is "more-likely-than-not" that tax positions taken in the Fund's tax return will
be ultimately sustained. A tax liability and expense must be recorded in respect
of any tax position that, in Management's judgment, will not be fully realized.
FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. As of
September 30, 2006, the Manager is evaluating the implications of FIN 48. Its
impact in the Fund's financial statements has not yet been determined.

      In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, FAIR VALUE
MEASUREMENTS. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of
fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value
measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157
is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. As of September
30, 2006, the Manager does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will
materially impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional
disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements
and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the
period.

7. LITIGATION

A consolidated amended complaint was filed as a putative class action against
the Manager and the Transfer Agent and other defendants (including 51 of the
Oppenheimer funds including the Fund) in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York on January 10, 2005 and was amended on March 4,
2005. The complaint alleged, among other things, that the Manager charged
excessive fees for distribution and other costs, and that by permitting and/or
participating in those actions, the Directors/Trustees and the Officers of the
funds breached their fiduciary duties to fund shareholders under the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and at common law. The plaintiffs sought unspecified
damages, an accounting of all fees paid, and an award of attorneys' fees and
litigation expenses.

      In response to the defendants' motions to dismiss the suit, seven of the
eight counts in the complaint, including the claims against certain of the
Oppenheimer funds, as nominal defendants, and against certain present and former
Directors, Trustees and Officers of the funds, and the Distributor, as
defendants, were dismissed with prejudice, by court order dated March 10, 2006,
and the remaining count against the Manager and the Transfer Agent was dismissed
with prejudice by court order dated April 5, 2006. The plaintiffs filed an
appeal of those dismissals on May 11, 2006.

      The Manager believes that the allegations contained in the complaint are
without merit and that there are substantial grounds to sustain the district
court's rulings. The Manager also believes that it is premature to render any
opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to it, the funds, the
Directors/Trustees or the Officers on the appeal of the decisions of the
district court, and that no estimate can yet be made with any degree of
certainty as to the amount or range of any potential loss.

                                    RATINGS DEFINITIONS

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

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

LONG-TERM RATINGS: BONDS AND PREFERRED STOCK ISSUER RATINGS

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

     PRIME RATING SYSTEM  (SHORT-TERM  RATINGS - TAXABLE DEBT)

     These  ratings  are  opinions  of the  ability of  issuers to honor  senior
financial obligations and contracts. Such obligations generally have an original
maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

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

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

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

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

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 the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus and Statement
of Additional Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds, the term "Retirement Plan"
refers to the following types of plans:
          1) plans created or qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal
             Revenue Code,
         2) non-qualified deferred compensation plans,
         3) employee benefit plans(3)
         4) Group Retirement Plans(4)
         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 $5 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in money

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

Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund (referred to as the "Fund" in this section) may
sell Class M shares at net asset value without any initial sales charge to the classes of
investors listed below who, prior to March 11, 1996, owned shares of the Fund's
then-existing Class A and were permitted to purchase those shares at net asset value
without sales charge:
|_|   the Manager and its affiliates,
|_|   present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their "immediate
         families" as defined in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information) of the
         Fund, the Manager and its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them or
         the prior investment advisor of the Fund for their employees,
|_|   registered management investment companies or separate accounts of insurance
         companies that had an agreement with the Fund's prior investment advisor or
         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 in the preceding section or financial institutions that have entered
         into sales arrangements with those dealers or brokers (and whose identity is made
         known to the Distributor) or with the Distributor, but only if the purchaser
         certifies to the Distributor at the time of purchase that the purchaser meets
         these qualifications,
|_|   dealers, brokers, or registered investment advisors that had entered into an
         agreement with the Distributor or the prior distributor of the Fund specifically
         providing for the use of Class M shares of the Fund in specific investment
         products made available to their clients, and
|_|   dealers, brokers or registered investment advisors that had entered into an agreement
         with the Distributor or prior distributor of the Fund's shares to sell shares to
         defined contribution employee retirement plans for which the dealer, broker, or
         investment advisor provides administrative services.

     (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.  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.
