Fund Performance Discussion1

During the one-year period ended January 31, 2019, the Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) returned -1.49%. For the one-year period ended January 31, 2019, the Fund underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index’s 2.25% return and outperformed the S&P 500 Index’s -2.31% return.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Markets were volatile in 2018 and hit a wall in the last quarter of the year, before picking up again in January 2019. Several shocks negatively affected market sentiment. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) once again decided to hike interest rates, as was nearly universally expected, but the post-meeting conference was more hawkish than expected. Markets were expecting a clear message that the Fed might consider a pause in any future rate increases, but that was not initially

communicated. Equity markets sold off, bonds rallied, and the U.S. dollar weakened. The sell-offs were sizable, which led some to think a recession might be imminent. It was not just the Fed making headlines, some key economic data were also weaker in December. In the U.S., regional surveys from the Fed and Institute for Supply Management (ISM) sentiment surveys decreased markedly, along with a cool-off in housing. Politics were once again a factor because there was little clarity

from the Trump Administration about the policies for tariffs on Chinese imports, and the U.S. Government shutdown did not help in an environment where the appetite for risk declined. Risk markets rallied in January 2019. The strong gains were driven by a shift in the statements from the Fed, which signaled a more dovish tone on future interest rate rises.

Despite rallying in January 2019, equities generally declined for the one-year period ended January 31, 2019. U.S. equities outperformed their international counterparts, with the S&P 500 returning -2.31%, the MSCI ACWI returning -7.48%, and emerging markets falling the most with a -14.24% return for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks this reporting period. Fixed income fared better than equities in a volatile environment, with the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returning 2.25% and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Hedged returning 3.58%.

FUND REVIEW

In a period where U.S. fixed income produced positive returns and outperformed equities, the Fund’s exposure to both Oppenheimer Total Return Bond Fund and Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund benefited performance. The Fund’s allocation to Oppenheimer International Bond Fund detracted slightly from performance as a result of a sell-off in emerging markets fixed income.

The Fund’s equity exposure detracted from performance. Top detractors from performance in this area included Oppenheimer Value Fund, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund, Oppenheimer International Growth Fund, and Oppenheimer International Equity Fund. As mentioned earlier, value stocks underperformed this reporting period, which impacted Oppenheimer Value Fund’s performance. Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund, which typically invests in large-cap U.S. growth stocks, fared better than Oppenheimer Value Fund as growth outperformed; however, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund experienced declines and negatively impacted performance as it remained a top holding for most of the reporting period. We significantly trimmed our exposure to Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund over the closing months of the reporting period. With international stocks underperforming U.S. stocks this period, the Fund’s allocation to Oppenheimer International Growth Fund and Oppenheimer International Equity Fund detracted from performance this reporting period. Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund also detracted from absolute results as emerging market equities had a difficult reporting period.

Oppenheimer Global Fund and Oppenheimer Emerging Markets Innovators Fund were underlying equity funds that contributed positively to performance this period. We initiated positions in these underlying funds over the second half of the reporting period.

POST-PERIOD UPDATE

Effective February 1, 2019, we implemented changes to the Fund, which we believe will meaningfully enhance our investment capabilities and flexibility to manage the strategy in line with client expectations. The investment universe of the Fund has been expanded across OppenheimerFunds’ products, including additional mutual funds, ETFs and closed-end funds, which will offer us additional component parts and greater investment flexibility to seek to achieve the

Fund’s investment objective. In addition, the Fund will permit derivative usage for cash and duration management. To better reflect the changes to the Fund, including an increase in international exposure, the Fund changed its benchmarks from the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and S&P 500 Index to the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Hedged, MSCI ACWI, and a blended benchmark that consists of 20% MSCI ACWI and 80% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Hedged.

Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and the applicable sales charge: for Class A shares, the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% and for Class C shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period.

See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks intended to be a representative sample of leading companies in leading industries within the U.S. economy. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index of U.S.-dollar-denominated, investment-grade U.S. corporate government and mortgage-backed securities. The indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

The views in the Fund Performance Discussion represent the opinions of this Fund’s portfolio manager(s) and are not intended as investment advice or to predict or depict the performance of any investment. These views are as of the close of business on January 31, 2019, and are

Before investing in any of the Oppenheimer funds, investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and/or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended January 31, 2019.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended January 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended January 31, 2019 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios         

Class A

     0.43        

Class C

     1.18          

Class R

     0.68          

Class Y

     0.19    

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2019

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. Conservative Investor Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust whose investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of Oppenheimer mutual funds (individually, an “Underlying Fund” and collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI.

    The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares, and previously offered Class B shares for new purchase through June 29, 2012. Subsequent to that date, no new purchases of Class B shares were permitted. Reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds were permitted through May 31, 2018. Effective June 1, 2018 (the “Conversion Date”), all Class B shares converted to Class A shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class C and Class R shares are sold, and Class B shares were sold, without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class R shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class R shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors or intermediaries without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the intermediaries may impose charges on their accountholders who beneficially own Class Y shares. 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, C and R shares have, and Class B shares had, separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay, and Class B shares paid, fees. Class Y shares do not pay such fees. Previously issued Class B shares automatically converted to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.

    The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

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

 

24      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND


    

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

class.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as determined necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend distributions received from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Upon receipt of notification from an Underlying Fund, and subsequent to the ex-dividend date, some of the dividend income originally recorded by the Fund may be reclassified as a tax return of capital by reducing the cost basis of the Underlying Fund and/or increasing the realized gain on sales of investments in the Underlying Fund.

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 overdraft at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.35%. 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.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

1. During the reporting period, the Fund utilized $26,273,805 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

2. During the previous reporting period, the Fund utilized $17,263,769 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

3. During the reporting period, $3,593,366 of unused capital loss carryforward expired.

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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 the reporting period. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2017, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2017-08. This provides guidance related to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Manager has evaluated the impacts of these changes on the financial statements and there are no material impacts.

During August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532 (the “Rule”), Disclosure Update and Simplification. The rule amends certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform to U.S. GAAP. The amendments to Rule 6-04.17 of Regulation S-X (balance sheet) remove the requirement to separately state the book basis components of net assets: undistributed (over-distribution of) net investment income (“UNII”), accumulated undistributed net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at the balance sheet date. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose total distributable earnings. The amendments to Rule 6-09 of Regulation S-X (statement of changes in net assets) remove the requirement to separately state the sources of distributions paid. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose the total amount of distributions paid, except that any tax return of capital must be separately disclosed. The amendments also remove the requirement to parenthetically state the book basis amount of UNII on the statement of changes in net assets. The requirements of the Rule were effective November 5, 2018, and the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the current reporting period have been modified accordingly. In addition, certain amounts within the Fund’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the prior fiscal period have been modified to conform to the Rule.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares based upon the net asset value of the applicable investment companies. For each investment company, the net asset value per share for a class of shares is determined as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange” or “NYSE”) is open for trading, except in the case of

 

27      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

 

 

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange. This is calculated by dividing the value of the investment company’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of outstanding shares of that class on that day.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at least quarterly or more frequently, if necessary.

Valuations Methods and Inputs

To determine their net asset values, the Underlying Funds’ assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations as generally supplied by third party portfolio pricing services or by dealers. Such market quotations are typically based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities or other observable market inputs.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or when a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, are fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those Underlying Funds.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs may be used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

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

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

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

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

4. Investments and Risks

Risks of Investing in the Underlying Funds. The Fund invests in other mutual funds advised by the Manager. The Underlying Funds are registered open-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Underlying Funds. The Fund’s Investments in Underlying Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Underlying Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Underlying Funds’ expenses, including their management fee.

Each of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity or for defensive purposes. IGMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IGMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IGMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IGMMF is included in

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

the Statement of Investments. Shares of IGMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IGMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee.

Investment in Oppenheimer Master Funds. Certain Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests are mutual funds registered under the 1940 Act, as amended, that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC (“Master Loan”), Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC (“Master Event-Linked Bond”) and Oppenheimer Master Inflation Protected Securities Fund, LLC (“Master Inflation Protected Securities”) (the “Master Funds”). Each Master Fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Master Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Master Fund.

The investment objective of Master Loan is to seek income. The investment objective of Master Event-Linked Bond is to seek total return. The investment objective of Master Inflation Protected Securities is to seek total return. The Fund’s investments in the Master Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain/ (loss) on its investments in each Master Fund according to its allocated pro-rata share, based on its relative proportion of total outstanding Master Fund shares held, of the total net income earned and the net gain/(loss) realized on investments sold by the Master Funds. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Master Funds’ expenses, including their management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in the Master Funds. The Fund owns 5.24% of Master Loan, 5.44% of Master Event-Linked Bond and 26.43% of Master Inflation Protected Securities at period end.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

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

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

 

30      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND


    

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)

value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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.

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager does not charge a management fee, but rather collects indirect management fees from the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds. The weighted indirect management fees collected from the Fund’s investment in the Underlying Funds, as a percent of average daily net assets of the Fund for the reporting period was 0.43%. This amount is gross of any waivers or reimbursements of management fees implemented at the Underlying Fund level.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the indirect investment management fee collected by the Manager, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

 

32      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND


    

 

 

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s Independent Trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each Trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active Independent Trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired Trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:

Projected Benefit Obligations Increased

   $                           —  

Payments Made to Retired Trustees

     1,027  

Accumulated Liability as of January 31, 2019

     7,609  

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

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 (the “Plan”) for Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily 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. 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 R Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class C and Class R shares, and had previously adopted a similar plan for Class B shares, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act to compensate the Distributor for distributing those share classes, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class C shares’ daily net assets and 0.25% on Class R shares’ daily net assets. The Fund paid the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B shares prior to their Conversion Date. The Fund also pays a service fee under the Plans at an annual rate of 0.25% of daily net assets and previously paid this fee for Class B prior to their Conversion Date. The Plans continue in effect from year to year only if the Fund’s Board of Trustees votes annually to approve their continuance at an in person meeting called for that purpose. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses at an annual rate of 0.10% as calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund. This waiver and/or reimbursement is applied after (and in addition to) any other applicable waiver and/or expense reimbursements that may apply, and may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $592,849.

9. Pending Acquisition

On October 18, 2018, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, an indirect corporate parent of the Sub-Adviser and the Manager, announced that it has entered into an agreement whereby Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), a global investment management company, will acquire the Sub-Adviser (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, on January 11, 2019, the Fund’s Board unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”), which provides for the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a corresponding, newly formed fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in the Invesco family of funds (the “Reorganization”) in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund of equal value to the value of the shares of the Fund as of the close of business on the closing date. Although the Acquiring Fund will be managed by Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Acquiring Fund will, as of the closing date, have the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks as the Fund. After the Reorganization, Invesco Advisers, Inc. will be the investment adviser to the Acquiring Fund, and the Fund will be liquidated and dissolved under applicable law and terminate its registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

    The Reorganization is subject to the approval of shareholders of the Fund. Shareholders of record of the Fund on January 14, 2019 will be entitled to vote on the Reorganization and will receive a combined prospectus and proxy statement describing the Reorganization, the shareholder meeting, and a discussion of the factors the Fund’s Board considered in approving the Agreement. The combined prospectus and proxy statement is expected to be distributed to shareholders of record on or about February 28, 2019. The anticipated date of the shareholder meeting is on or about April 12, 2019.

    If shareholders approve the Agreement and certain other closing conditions are satisfied or waived, the Reorganization is expected to close during the second quarter of 2019, or as soon as practicable thereafter. This is subject to change.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders of Conservative Investor Fund and Board of Trustees of

Oppenheimer Portfolio Series:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

    We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Conservative Investor Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Portfolio Series, including the statement of investments, as of January 31, 2019, 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 related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2019, 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.

Basis for Opinion

    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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2019, by correspondence with the transfer agent, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

KPMG LLP

    We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Oppenheimer Funds investment companies, however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Oppenheimer Funds investment companies since at least 1969.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited

 

 

In early 2019, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2018.

    Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 11.79% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.

    A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $2,768,552 of the Fund’s fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2019, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.

    Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the reporting period, the maximum amount allowable but not less than $6,686,617 of the ordinary distributions to be paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend.

    The Fund has elected the application of Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code to permit shareholders to take a federal income tax credit or deduction, at their option, on a per share basis. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $103,912 of foreign income taxes were paid by the Fund during the reporting period. A separate notice will be mailed to each shareholder, which will reflect the proportionate share of such foreign taxes which must be treated by shareholders as gross income for federal income tax purposes.

    Gross income of the maximum amount allowable but not less than $507,845 was derived from sources within foreign countries or possessions of the United States.

    The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY

AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited

 

 

    The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to approve the terms of the Agreements and the renewal thereof. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

    The Managers and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the comparative investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative fee and expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

    Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

    Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Managers’ duties include providing the Fund with the services of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio manager and investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; and securities trading services. OFI Global is responsible for oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; risk management; and oversight of the Sub-Adviser. OFI Global is also responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund.

    The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Managers’ advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance and risk management services, among other services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of their staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Jeffrey Bennett, the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which the Board members have become knowledgeable about through their experiences with the Managers and in connection with the review or renewal of the Fund’s service agreements or service providers. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreements.

    Investment Performance of the Managers and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Managers provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Managers and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant benchmarks or market indices and to the performance of other retail funds in the allocation – 30%50% equity category. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was below its category median.

    Fees and Expenses of the Fund. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Adviser and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser’s fee under the sub-advisory agreement. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Adviser. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other retail front-end load allocation – 30%50% equity funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. After discussions with the Board, the Adviser has agreed to contractually waive fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses at an annual rate of 0.10% as calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund. This waiver and/or reimbursement is applied after (and in addition to) any other applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that apply. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn until one year from the date of the prospectus, unless approved by the Board. The Board noted that the Fund was charged no actual management fees, exclusive of Underlying Fund management fees, while certain peer group funds did charge direct management fees. The Board also noted that the Fund’s total expenses were lower than its peer group and category median.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY

AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

    

    Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the Managers’ costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers’ profitability from their relationship with the Fund. The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Managers may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund and whether those economies of scale benefit the Fund’s shareholders at the current level of Fund assets in relation to its management fee. The Fund currently does not charge a management fee.

    Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates.

    Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

    Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through September 30, 2019. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents

This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus (or, if available, the fund’s summary prospectus), annual and semiannual report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.

    Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800.CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus (or, if available, the summary prospectus), reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

How You Can Help

You can also do your part to keep your account information private and to prevent unauthorized transactions. If you obtain a user ID and password for your account, safeguard that information. Strengthening your online credentials–your online security profile–typically your user name, password, and security questions and answers, can be one of your most important lines of defense on the Internet.

Fund Performance Discussion1

During the one-year period ended January 31, 2019, the Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) returned -4.59%. For the one-year period ended January 31, 2019, the Fund underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the S&P 500 Index, which returned 2.25% and -2.31%, respectively.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Markets were volatile in 2018 and hit a wall in the last quarter of the year, before picking up again in January 2019. Several shocks negatively affected market sentiment. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) once again decided to hike interest rates, as was nearly universally expected, but the post-meeting conference was more hawkish than expected. Markets were expecting a clear message that the Fed might consider a pause in any future rate increases, but that was not initially

communicated. Equity markets sold off, bonds rallied, and the U.S. dollar weakened. The sell-offs were sizable, which led some to think a recession might be imminent. It was not just the Fed making headlines, some key economic data were also weaker in December. In the U.S., regional surveys from the Fed and Institute for Supply Management (ISM) sentiment surveys decreased markedly, along with a cool-off in housing. Politics were once

again a factor because there was little clarity from the Trump Administration about the policies for tariffs on Chinese imports, and the U.S. Government shutdown did not help in an environment where the appetite for risk declined. Risk markets rallied in January 2019. The strong gains were driven by a shift in the statements from the Fed, which signaled a more dovish tone on future interest rate rises.

Despite rallying in January 2019, equities generally declined for the one-year period ended January 31, 2019. U.S. equities outperformed their international counterparts, with the S&P 500 Index returning 2.31%, the MSCI ACWI returning -7.48%, and emerging markets falling the most with a -14.24% return for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks this reporting period. Fixed income fared better than equities in a volatile environment, with the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returning 2.25% and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Hedged, returning 3.58%.

FUND REVIEW

In an environment where equities experienced declines, the Fund’s equity exposure detracted from performance. Top detractors from performance in this area included Oppenheimer Value Fund, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund, Oppenheimer International Growth Fund, and Oppenheimer International Equity Fund. As mentioned earlier, value stocks underperformed this reporting period, which impacted

Oppenheimer Value Fund’s performance. Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund, which typically invests in large-cap U.S. growth stocks, fared better than Oppenheimer Value Fund as growth outperformed; however, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund experienced declines and negatively impacted performance as it remained a top holding for most of the reporting period. We significantly trimmed our exposure to Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund over the closing months of the reporting period. With international stocks underperforming U.S. stocks this period, the Fund’s allocation to Oppenheimer International Growth Fund and Oppenheimer International Equity Fund detracted from performance. Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund also detracted from absolute results as emerging market equities had a difficult reporting period.

Oppenheimer Global Fund and Oppenheimer Emerging Markets Innovators Fund were underlying equity funds that contributed positively to performance this period. We initiated positions in these underlying funds over the second half of the reporting period.

In a period where U.S. fixed income produced positive returns, the Fund’s exposure to both Oppenheimer Total Return Bond Fund and Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund benefited performance. The Fund’s allocation to Oppenheimer International Bond Fund detracted slightly from performance as a result of a sell-off in emerging markets fixed income.

POST-PERIOD UPDATE

Shortly after the reporting period ended on February 1, 2019, we implemented changes to the Fund, which we believe will meaningfully enhance our investment capabilities and flexibility to manage the strategy in line with client expectations. The investment universe of the Fund has been expanded across OppenheimerFunds’ products, including additional mutual funds, ETFs and closed-end funds, which will offer us additional component parts and greater investment flexibility to seek to achieve the

Fund’s investment objective. In addition, the Fund will permit derivative usage for better cash and duration management. To reflect the increase in international exposure, the Fund changed its benchmarks from the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and S&P 500 Index to the MSCI ACWI, Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Hedged, and a blended benchmark that consists of 60% MSCI ACWI and 40% Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Hedged.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost.

For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800. CALL OPP (225.5677). Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and the applicable sales charge: for Class A shares, the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% and for Class C shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks intended to be a representative sample of leading companies in leading industries within the U.S. economy. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index of U.S.-dollar-denominated, investment-grade U.S. corporate government and mortgage-backed securities. The indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

The views in the Fund Performance Discussion represent the opinions of this Fund’s portfolio manager(s) and are not intended as investment advice or to predict or depict the performance of any investment. These views are as of the close of business on January 31, 2019, and are

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and/or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended January 31, 2019.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended January 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class Y

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended January 31, 2019 are as follows:

 

Class      Expense Ratios             

 

 

Class A

     0.41  

 

 

Class C

     1.17    

 

 

Class R

     0.67    

 

 

Class Y

     0.18    

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2019

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. Moderate Investor Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust whose investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of Oppenheimer mutual funds (individually, an “Underlying Fund” and collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI.

The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares, and previously offered Class B shares for new purchase through June 29, 2012. Subsequent to that date, no new purchases of Class B shares were permitted. Reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds were permitted through May 31, 2018. Effective June 1, 2018 (the “Conversion Date”), all Class B shares converted to Class A shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class C and Class R shares are sold, and Class B shares were sold, without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class R shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class R shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors or intermediaries without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the intermediaries may impose charges on their accountholders who beneficially own Class Y shares. 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, C and R shares have, and Class B shares had, separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay, and Class B shares paid, fees. Class Y shares do not pay such fees. Previously issued Class B shares automatically converted to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

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

 

24      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES MODERATE INVESTOR FUND


 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

class.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as determined necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend distributions received from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Upon receipt of notification from an Underlying Fund, and subsequent to the ex-dividend date, some of the dividend income originally recorded by the Fund may be reclassified as a tax return of capital by reducing the cost basis of the Underlying Fund and/or increasing the realized gain on sales of investments in the Underlying Fund.

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 overdraft at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.35%. 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.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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

$12,804,987      $66,612,634        $—        $133,809,998  

1. During the reporting period, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.

2. During the previous reporting period, the Fund utilized $51,978,404 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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 the reporting period. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

 

Federal tax cost of securities      $  1,393,054,397     
  

 

 

 
Gross unrealized appreciation      $ 146,741,051     
Gross unrealized depreciation      (12,931,053)    
  

 

 

 
Net unrealized appreciation      $ 133,809,998     
  

 

 

 

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2017, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2017-08. This provides guidance related to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Manager has evaluated the impacts of these changes on the financial statements and there are no material impacts.

During August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532 (the “Rule”), Disclosure Update and Simplification. The rule amends certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform to U.S. GAAP. The amendments to Rule 6-04.17 of Regulation S-X (balance sheet) remove the requirement to separately state the book basis components of net assets: undistributed (over-distribution of) net investment income (“UNII”), accumulated undistributed net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at the balance sheet date. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose total distributable earnings. The amendments to Rule 6-09 of Regulation S-X (statement of changes in net assets) remove the requirement to separately state the sources of distributions paid. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose the total amount of distributions paid, except that any tax return of capital must be separately disclosed. The amendments also remove the requirement to parenthetically state the book basis amount of UNII on the statement of changes in net assets. The requirements of the Rule were effective November 5, 2018, and the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the current reporting period have been modified accordingly. In addition, certain amounts within the Fund’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the prior fiscal period have been modified to conform to the Rule.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares based upon the net asset value of the applicable investment companies. For each investment company, the net asset value per

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

share for a class of shares is determined as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange” or “NYSE”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange. This is calculated by dividing the value of the investment company’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of outstanding shares of that class on that day.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at least quarterly or more frequently, if necessary.

Valuations Methods and Inputs

To determine their net asset values, the Underlying Funds’ assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations as generally supplied by third party portfolio pricing services or by dealers. Such market quotations are typically based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities or other observable market inputs.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or when a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, are fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those Underlying Funds.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs may be used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

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

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

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

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are measured using net asset value and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

4. Investments and Risks

Risks of Investing in the Underlying Funds. The Fund invests in other mutual funds advised by the Manager. The Underlying Funds are registered open-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Underlying Funds. The Fund’s Investments in Underlying Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Underlying Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Underlying Funds’ expenses, including their management fee.

Each of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity or for defensive purposes. IGMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

 

 

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

is the investment adviser of IGMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IGMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IGMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IGMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IGMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee.

Investment in Oppenheimer Master Funds. Certain Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests are mutual funds registered under the 1940 Act, as amended, that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC (“Master Loan”), Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC (“Master Event-Linked Bond”) and Oppenheimer Master Inflation Protected Securities Fund, LLC (“Master Inflation Protected Securities”) (the “Master Funds”). Each Master Fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Master Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Master Fund.

The investment objective of Master Loan is to seek income. The investment objective of Master Event-Linked Bond is to seek total return. The investment objective of Master Inflation Protected Securities is to seek total return. The Fund’s investments in the Master Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain/ (loss) on its investments in each Master Fund according to its allocated pro-rata share, based on its relative proportion of total outstanding Master Fund shares held, of the total net income earned and the net gain/(loss) realized on investments sold by the Master Funds. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Master Funds’ expenses, including their management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in the Master Funds. The Fund owns 5.57% of Master Loan, 14.39% of Master Event-Linked Bond and 46.78% of Master Inflation Protected Securities at period end.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

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

 

30      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES MODERATE INVESTOR FUND


 

 

5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)

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

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.

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager does not charge a management fee, but rather collects indirect management fees from the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds. The weighted indirect management fees collected from the Fund’s investment in the Underlying Funds, as a percent of average daily net assets of the Fund for the reporting period was 0.51%. This amount is gross of any waivers or reimbursements of management fees implemented at the Underlying Fund level.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the indirect investment management fee collected by the Manager, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

 

32      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES MODERATE INVESTOR FUND


 

 

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s Independent Trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each Trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active Independent Trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired Trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:

 

Projected Benefit Obligations Increased    $                         —  
Payments Made to Retired Trustees      2,712  
Accumulated Liability as of January 31, 2019      20,080  

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

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 (the “Plan”) for Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily 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. 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 R Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class C and Class R shares, and had previously adopted a similar plan for Class B shares, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act to compensate the Distributor for distributing those share classes, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class C shares’ daily net assets and 0.25% on Class R shares’ daily net assets. The Fund paid the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B shares prior to their Conversion Date. The Fund also pays a service fee under the Plans at an annual rate of 0.25% of daily net assets and previously paid this fee for Class B prior to their Conversion Date. The Plans continue in effect from year to year only if the Fund’s Board of Trustees votes annually to approve their continuance at an in person meeting called for that purpose. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses at an annual rate of 0.07% as calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund. This waiver and/or reimbursement is applied after (and in addition to) any other applicable waiver and/or expense reimbursements that may apply, and may not be withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the

9. Pending Acquisition

On October 18, 2018, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, an indirect corporate parent of the Sub-Adviser and the Manager, announced that it has entered into an agreement whereby Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), a global investment management company, will acquire the Sub-Adviser (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, on January 11, 2019, the Fund’s Board unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”), which provides for the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a corresponding, newly formed fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in the Invesco family of funds (the “Reorganization”) in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund of equal value to the value of the shares of the Fund as of the close of business on the closing date. Although the Acquiring Fund will be managed by Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Acquiring Fund will, as of the closing date, have the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks as the Fund. After the Reorganization, Invesco Advisers, Inc. will be the investment adviser to the Acquiring Fund, and the Fund will be liquidated and dissolved under applicable law and terminate its registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Reorganization is subject to the approval of shareholders of the Fund. Shareholders of record of the Fund on January 14, 2019 will be entitled to vote on the Reorganization and will receive a combined prospectus and proxy statement describing the Reorganization, the shareholder meeting, and a discussion of the factors the Fund’s Board considered in approving the Agreement. The combined prospectus and proxy statement is expected to be distributed to shareholders of record on or about February 28, 2019. The anticipated date of the shareholder meeting is on or about April 12, 2019.

If shareholders approve the Agreement and certain other closing conditions are satisfied or waived, the Reorganization is expected to close during the second quarter of 2019, or as soon as practicable thereafter. This is subject to change.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders of Moderate Investor Fund and Board of Trustees of

Oppenheimer Portfolio Series:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

  We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Moderate Investor Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Portfolio Series, including the statement of investments, as of January 31, 2019, 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 related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2019, 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.

Basis for Opinion

  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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

  We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2019, by correspondence with the transfer agent, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

KPMG LLP

  We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Oppenheimer Funds investment companies, however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Oppenheimer Funds investment companies since at least 1969.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited

 

 

In early 2019, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2018.

Capital gain distributions of $0.12991 per share were paid to Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shareholders, respectively, on December 20, 2018. Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of the capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains).

Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 31.86% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.

A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $14,275,489 of the Fund’s fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2019, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.

Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the reporting period, the maximum amount allowable but not less than $9,960,051 of the ordinary distributions to be paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend.

The Fund has elected the application of Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code to permit shareholders to take a federal income tax credit or deduction, at their option, on a per share basis. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $735,369 of foreign income taxes were paid by the Fund during the reporting period. A separate notice will be mailed to each shareholder, which will reflect the proportionate share of such foreign taxes which must be treated by shareholders as gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Gross income of the maximum amount allowable but not less than $3,294,368 was derived from sources within foreign countries or possessions of the United States.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY

AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to approve the terms of the Agreements and the renewal thereof. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Managers and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the comparative investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative fee and expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Managers’ duties include providing the Fund with the services of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio manager and investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; and securities trading services. OFI Global is responsible for oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; risk management; and oversight of the Sub-Adviser. OFI Global is also responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. OFI Global also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Managers’ advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance and risk management services, among other services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of their staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Jeffrey Bennett, the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which the Board members have become knowledgeable about through their experiences with the Managers and in connection with the review or renewal of the Fund’s service agreements or service providers. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreements.

Investment Performance of the Managers and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Managers provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Managers and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant benchmarks or market indices and to the performance of other retail funds in the allocation – 50% to 70% equity category. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year performance was better than its category median although its three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was below its category median.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Adviser and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser’s fee under the sub-advisory agreement. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Adviser. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other retail front-end load allocation – 50% to 70% equity funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. After discussions with the Board, the Adviser has agreed to contractually waive fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses at an annual rate of 0.07% as calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund. This waiver and/or reimbursement is applied after (and in addition to) any other applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that apply. This contractual fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn until one year from the date of the prospectus, unless approved by the Board. The Board noted that the Fund was charged no actual management fees, exclusive of Underlying Fund management fees, while certain peer group funds did charge direct management fees. The Board also noted that the Fund’s total expenses, net of waivers, were lower than its peer group median and category median.

AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the Managers’ costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers’ profitability from their relationship with the Fund. The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Managers may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund and whether those economies of scale benefit the Fund’s shareholders at the current level of Fund assets in relation to its management fee. The Fund currently does not charge a management fee.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through September 30, 2019. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND GUIDELINES;

UPDATES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS Unaudited

A description of the Fund’s Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Guidelines is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800. CALL OPP (225.5677), (ii) on the Fund’s website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com, and (iii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, 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 voting record is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800. CALL OPP (225.5677), and (ii) in the Form N-PX filing on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first quarter and the third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Beginning in April 2019, the Fund will no longer file Form N-Qs and will instead disclose its portfolio holdings monthly on Form N-PORT, which will also be available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents

This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus (or, if available, the fund’s summary prospectus), annual and semiannual report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.

Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800. CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus (or, if available, the summary prospectus), reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. If the Fund (or an underlying fund in which the Fund invests) invests in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and/or master limited partnerships (MLPs), the percentages attributed to each category are estimated using historical information because the character of the amounts received from the REITs and/or MLPs in which the Fund (or underlying fund) invests is unknown until after the end of the calendar year. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive IRS tax forms in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.

Internet Security and Encryption

In general, the email services provided by our website are encrypted and provide a secure and private means of communication with us. To protect your own privacy, confidential and/ or personal information should only be communicated via email when you are advised that you are using a secure website.

As a security measure, we do not include personal or account information in non-secure emails, and we advise you not to send such information to us in non-secure emails. Instead, you may take advantage of the secure features of our website to encrypt your email correspondence. To do this, you will need to use a browser that supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

All transactions conducted via our websites, including redemptions, exchanges and purchases, are secured by the highest encryption standards available. SSL is used to establish a secure connection between your PC and OppenheimerFunds’ server. It transmits information in an encrypted and scrambled format.

Encryption is achieved through an electronic scrambling technology that uses a “key” to code and then decode the data. Encryption acts like the cable converter box you may have on your television set. It scrambles data with a secret code so that no one can make sense of it while it is being transmitted. When the data reaches its destination, the same software unscrambles the data.

You can exit the secure area by closing your browser or, for added security, you can use the Log Out button before you close your browser.

Other Security Measures

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal account information. Our employees and agents have access to that information only so that they may offer you products or provide services, for example, when responding to your account questions.

How You Can Help

You can also do your part to keep your account information private and to prevent unauthorized transactions. If you obtain a user ID and password for your account, safeguard that information. Strengthening your online credentials–your online security profile–typically your user name, password, and security questions and answers, can be one of your most important lines of defense on the Internet.

Fund Performance Discussion1

During the one-year period ended January 31, 2019, the Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) returned -7.22%. For the one-year period ended January 31, 2019, the Fund underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the S&P 500 Index, which returned 2.25% and -2.31%, respectively.

MARKET OVERVIEW

 

Markets were volatile in 2018 and hit a wall in the last quarter of the year, before picking up again in January 2019. Several shocks negatively affected market sentiment. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) once again decided to hike interest rates, as was nearly universally expected, but the post-meeting conference was more hawkish than expected. Markets were expecting a clear message that the Fed might consider a pause in any future rate increases, but that was not initially

 

communicated. Equity markets sold off, bonds rallied, and the U.S. dollar weakened. The sell-offs were sizable, which led some to think a recession might be imminent. It was not just the Fed making headlines, some key economic data were also weaker in December. In the U.S., regional surveys from the Fed and Institute for Supply Management (ISM) sentiment surveys decreased markedly, along with a cool-off in housing. Politics were once again a factor because there was little clarity

from the Trump Administration about the policies for tariffs on Chinese imports, and the U.S. Government shutdown did not help in an environment where the appetite for risk declined. Risk markets rallied in January 2019. The strong gains were driven by a shift in the statements from the Fed, which signaled a more dovish tone on future interest rate rises.

Despite rallying in January 2019, equities generally declined for the one-year period ended January 31, 2019. U.S. equities outperformed their international counterparts, with the S&P 500 returning -2.31%, the MSCI ACWI returning -7.48%, and emerging markets falling the most with a -14.24% return for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks this reporting period. Fixed income fared better than equities in a volatile environment, with the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returning 2.25% and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Hedged, returning 3.58%.

FUND REVIEW

In an environment where equities experienced declines, the Fund’s equity exposure detracted from performance. With international stocks underperforming U.S. stocks this period, the Fund’s allocation to Oppenheimer International Growth Fund and Oppenheimer International Equity Fund detracted from performance. Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund also negatively impacted absolute results as emerging market equities had a difficult reporting period. As mentioned

earlier, value stocks underperformed this reporting period, which impacted Oppenheimer Value Fund’s performance. Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund, which typically invests in large-cap U.S. growth stocks, fared better than Oppenheimer Value Fund as growth outperformed; however, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund experienced declines and negatively impacted performance as it remained a top holding for most of the reporting period. We significantly trimmed our exposure to Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund over the closing months of the reporting period.

Oppenheimer Global Fund and Oppenheimer Emerging Markets Innovators Fund were underlying equity funds that contributed positively to performance this period. We initiated positions in these underlying funds over the second half of the reporting period.

In a period where U.S. fixed income produced positive returns, the Fund’s exposure to both Oppenheimer Total Return Bond Fund and Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund benefited performance. The Fund’s allocation to Oppenheimer International Bond Fund detracted slightly from performance as a result of a sell-off in emerging markets fixed income.

POST-PERIOD UPDATE

Shortly after the reporting period ended on February 1, 2019, we implemented changes to the Fund, which we believe will meaningfully enhance our investment

capabilities and flexibility to manage the strategy in line with client expectations. The investment universe of the Fund has been expanded across OppenheimerFunds’ products, including additional mutual funds, ETFs and closed-end funds, which will offer us additional component parts and greater investment flexibility to seek to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. In addition, the Fund will permit derivative usage for better

cash and duration management. To reflect the increase in international exposure, the Fund changed its benchmarks from the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and S&P 500 Index to the MSCI ACWI, Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Hedged, and a blended benchmark that consists of 80% MSCI ACWI and 20% Global Aggregate Bond Index, Hedged.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800. CALL OPP (225.5677). Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and the applicable sales charge: for Class A shares, the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% and for Class C shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. There is no sales charge for Class R and Class Y shares. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks intended to be a representative sample of leading companies in leading industries within the U.S. economy. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index of U.S.-dollar-denominated, investment-grade U.S. corporate government and mortgage-backed securities. The indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

The views in the Fund Performance Discussion represent the opinions of this Fund’s portfolio manager(s) and are not intended as investment advice or to predict or depict the performance of any investment. These views are as of the close of business on January 31, 2019, and are subject to change based on subsequent developments. The Fund’s portfolio and strategies are subject to change.

Before investing in any of the Oppenheimer funds, investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and/or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended January 31, 2019.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended January 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class Y          1,000.00           1,023.74                 1.48

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended January 31, 2019 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios  
Class A      0.53%  
Class C      1.28     
Class R      0.78     
Class Y      0.29     

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2019

 

    

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of

1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company.

Active Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust whose investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of Oppenheimer mutual funds (individually, an “Underlying Fund” and collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI.

The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares, and previously offered Class B shares for new purchase through June 29, 2012. Subsequent to that date, no new purchases of Class B shares were permitted. Reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds were permitted through May 31, 2018. Effective June 1, 2018 (the “Conversion Date”), all Class B shares converted to Class A shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class C and Class R shares are sold, and Class B shares were sold, without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class R shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class R shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors or intermediaries without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the intermediaries may impose charges on their accountholders who beneficially own Class Y shares. 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, C and R shares have, and Class B shares had, separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay, and Class B shares paid, fees. Class Y shares do not pay such fees. Previously issued Class B shares automatically converted to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

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

 

24       OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND


    

 

    

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

class.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as determined necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend distributions received from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Upon receipt of notification from an Underlying Fund, and subsequent to the ex-dividend date, some of the dividend income originally recorded by the Fund may be reclassified as a tax return of capital by reducing the cost basis of the Underlying Fund and/or increasing the realized gain on sales of investments in the Underlying Fund.

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 overdraft at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.35%. 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.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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

$28,765,113

     $93,685,842        $—        $232,296,777  

1. During the reporting period, the Fund utilized $143,139,986 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

2. During the previous reporting period, the Fund utilized $190,061,560 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 are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 the reporting period. 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 at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2017, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2017-08. This provides guidance related to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Manager has evaluated the impacts of these changes on the financial statements and there are no material impacts.

During August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Final

Rule Release No. 33-10532 (the “Rule”), Disclosure Update and Simplification. The rule amends certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform to U.S. GAAP. The amendments to Rule 6-04.17 of Regulation S-X (balance sheet) remove the requirement to separately state the book basis components of net assets: undistributed (over-distribution of) net investment income (“UNII”), accumulated undistributed net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at the balance sheet date. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose total distributable earnings. The amendments to Rule 6-09 of Regulation S-X (statement of changes in net assets) remove the requirement to separately state the sources of distributions paid. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose the total amount of distributions paid, except that any tax return of capital must be separately disclosed. The amendments also remove the requirement to parenthetically state the book basis amount of UNII on the statement of changes in net assets. The requirements of the Rule were effective November 5, 2018, and the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the current reporting period have been modified accordingly. In addition, certain amounts within the Fund’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the prior fiscal period have been modified to conform to the Rule.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares based upon the net asset value of the applicable investment companies. For each investment company, the net asset value per share for a class of shares is determined as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange” or “NYSE”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange. This is calculated by dividing the value of the investment company’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of outstanding shares of that class on that day.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at least quarterly or more frequently, if necessary.

Valuations Methods and Inputs

To determine their net asset values, the Underlying Funds’ assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations as generally supplied by third party portfolio pricing services or by dealers. Such market quotations are typically based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities or other observable market inputs.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or when a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, are fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those Underlying Funds.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs may be used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end.

These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

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

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

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

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are measured using net asset value and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

4. Investments and Risks

Risks of Investing in the Underlying Funds. The Fund invests in other mutual funds advised by the Manager. The Underlying Funds are registered open-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Underlying Funds. The Fund’s Investments in Underlying Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Underlying Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Underlying Funds’ expenses, including their management fee.

Each of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund.

The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity or for defensive purposes. IGMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IGMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IGMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IGMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IGMMF are valued at their net asset value per share.

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IGMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee.

Investment in Oppenheimer Master Funds. Certain Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests are mutual funds registered under the 1940 Act, as amended, that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC (“Master Loan”), Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC (“Master Event-Linked Bond”) and Oppenheimer Master Inflation Protected Securities Fund, LLC (“Master Inflation Protected Securities”) (the “Master Funds”). Each Master Fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Master Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Master Fund.

The investment objective of Master Loan is to seek income. The investment objective of Master Event-Linked Bond is to seek total return. The investment objective of Master Inflation Protected Securities is to seek total return. The Fund’s investments in the Master Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain/ (loss) on its investments in each Master Fund according to its allocated pro-rata share, based on its relative proportion of total outstanding Master Fund shares held, of the total net income earned and the net gain/(loss) realized on investments sold by the Master Funds. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Master Funds’ expenses, including their management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in the Master Funds. The Fund owns 3.85% of Master Loan, 23.31% of Master Event-Linked Bond and 26.66% of Master Inflation Protected Securities at period end.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors: Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

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

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

 

30       OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND


    

 

    

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)

against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

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.

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager does not charge a management fee, but rather collects indirect management fees from the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds. The weighted indirect management fees collected from the Fund’s investment in the Underlying Funds, as a percent of average daily net assets of the Fund for the reporting period was 0.58%. This amount is gross of any waivers or reimbursements of management fees implemented at the Underlying Fund level.

Asset Allocation Fees. The Fund pays the Manager an asset allocation fee equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of the first $3 billion of the daily net assets of the Fund and 0.08% of the daily net assets in excess of $3 billion.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the indirect investment management fee collected by the Manager, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and

 

32       OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND


    

 

    

 

 

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s Independent Trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each Trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active Independent Trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired

Trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:

 

Projected Benefit Obligations Increased    $  
Payments Made to Retired Trustees      7,696  
Accumulated Liability as of January 31, 2019                  56,998  

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

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

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

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 (the “Plan”) for Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund 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 daily 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. 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 R Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class C and Class R shares, and had previously adopted a similar plan for Class B shares, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act to compensate the Distributor for distributing those share classes, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class C shares’ daily net assets and 0.25% on Class R shares’ daily net assets. The Fund paid the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B shares prior to their Conversion Date. The Fund also pays a service fee under the Plans at an annual rate of 0.25% of daily net assets and previously paid this fee for Class B prior to their Conversion Date. The Plans continue in effect from year to year only if the Fund’s Board of Trustees votes annually to approve their continuance at an in person meeting called for that purpose. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses at an annual rate of 0.04% as calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund. This waiver and/or reimbursement is applied after (and in addition to) any other applicable waiver and/or expense reimbursements that may apply, and may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $981,591.

 

 

9. Pending Acquisition

On October 18, 2018, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, an indirect corporate parent of the Sub-Adviser and the Manager, announced that it has entered into an agreement whereby Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), a global investment management company, will acquire the Sub-Adviser (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, on January 11, 2019, the Fund’s Board unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”), which provides for the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a corresponding, newly formed fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in the Invesco family of funds (the “Reorganization”) in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund of equal value to the value of the shares of the Fund as of the close of business on the closing date. Although the Acquiring Fund will be managed by Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Acquiring Fund will, as of the closing date, have the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks as the Fund. After the Reorganization, Invesco Advisers, Inc. will be the investment adviser to the Acquiring Fund, and the Fund will be liquidated and dissolved under applicable law and terminate its registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Reorganization is subject to the approval of shareholders of the Fund. Shareholders of record of the Fund on January 14, 2019 will be entitled to vote on the Reorganization and will receive a combined prospectus and proxy statement describing the Reorganization, the shareholder meeting, and a discussion of the factors the Fund’s Board considered in approving the Agreement. The combined prospectus and proxy statement is expected to be distributed to shareholders of record on or about February 28, 2019. The anticipated date of the shareholder meeting is on or about April 12, 2019.

If shareholders approve the Agreement and certain other closing conditions are satisfied or waived, the Reorganization is expected to close during the second quarter of 2019, or as soon as practicable thereafter. This is subject to change.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

 

To the Shareholders of Active Allocation Fund and Board of Trustees of Oppenheimer Portfolio Series:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Active Allocation Fund (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Portfolio Series, including the statement of investments, as of January 31, 2019, 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 related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2019, 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.

Basis for Opinion

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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting

Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2019, by correspondence with the transfer agent, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

KPMG LLP

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Oppenheimer Funds investment companies, however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Oppenheimer Funds investment companies since at least 1969.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited

 

 

In early 2019, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2018.

Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 50.52% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.

A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $27,330,751 of the Fund’s fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2019, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.

Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the reporting period, the maximum amount allowable but not less than $7,363,083 of the ordinary distributions to be paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend.

The Fund has elected the application of Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code to permit shareholders to take a federal income tax credit or deduction, at their option, on a per share basis. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $1,597,542 of foreign income taxes were paid by the Fund during the reporting period. A separate notice will be mailed to each shareholder, which will reflect the proportionate share of such foreign taxes which must be treated by shareholders as gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Gross income of the maximum amount allowable but not less than $6,695,921 was derived from sources within foreign countries or possessions of the United States.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY

AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”).    Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to approve the terms of the Agreements and the renewal thereof. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Managers and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the comparative investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative fee and expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Managers’ duties include providing the Fund with the services of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio managers and investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; and securities trading services. OFI Global is responsible for oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; risk management; and oversight of the Sub-Adviser. OFI Global is also responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. OFI Global also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Managers’ advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance and risk management services, among other services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of their staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Jeffrey Bennett and Caleb Wong, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which the Board members have become knowledgeable about through their experiences with the Managers and in connection with the review or renewal of the Fund’s service agreements or service providers. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreements.

Investment Performance of the Managers and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Managers provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Managers and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant benchmarks or market indices and to the performance of other retail funds in the allocation – 70% to 85% equity category. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year performance was better than its category median although its three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was below its category median.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Adviser and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser’s fee under the sub-advisory agreement. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Adviser. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other retail front-end load allocation – 70% to 85% equity funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. After discussions with the Board, the Adviser has agreed to contractually waive fees and/or reimburse certain Fund expenses at an annual rate of 0.04% as calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund. This waiver and/or reimbursement is applied after (and in addition to) any other applicable fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements that apply. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn until one year from the date of the prospectus, unless approved by the Board. The Board noted that the Fund was charged no direct traditional management fees, exclusive of Underlying Fund management fees, while certain peer group funds did charge direct traditional management fees. The Board also noted that the Fund’s total

AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

 

expenses, net of waivers, were equal to its peer group median and lower than its category median.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information regarding the Managers’ costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers’ profitability from their relationship with the Fund. The Board also considered that the

Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Managers may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund and whether those economies of scale benefit the Fund’s shareholders at the current level of Fund assets in relation to its management fee. The Board noted that the Fund currently has asset allocation fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through September 30, 2019. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND GUIDELINES;

UPDATES TO STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has adopted Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Guidelines under which the Fund votes proxies relating to securities (“portfolio proxies”) held by the Fund. A description of the Fund’s Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Guidelines is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677), (ii) on the Fund’s website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com, and (iii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, 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 voting record is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677), and (ii) in the Form N-PX filing on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

The Fund files its complete schedule of portfolio holdings with the SEC for the first quarter and the third quarter of each fiscal year on Form N-Q. The Fund’s Form N-Q filings are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. Beginning in April 2019, the Fund will no longer file Form N-Qs and will instead disclose its portfolio holdings monthly on Form N-PORT, which will also be available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents

This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus (or, if available, the fund’s summary prospectus), annual and semiannual report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.

Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800.CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus (or, if available, the summary prospectus), reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

DISTRIBUTION SOURCES Unaudited

 

 

For any distribution that took place over the last six months of the Fund’s reporting period, the table below details on a per-share basis the percentage of the Fund’s total distribution payment amount that was derived from the following sources: net income, net profit from the sale of securities, and other capital sources. Other capital sources represent a return of capital. A return of capital may occur, for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund’s investment performance and should not be confused with “yield” or “income.” You should not draw any conclusions about the Fund’s investment performance from the amounts of these distributions. This information is based upon income and capital gains using generally accepted accounting principles as of the date of each distribution. If the Fund (or an underlying fund in which the Fund invests) invests in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and/or master limited partnerships (MLPs), the percentages attributed to each category are estimated using historical information because the character of the amounts received from the REITs and/or MLPs in which the Fund (or underlying fund) invests is unknown until after the end of the calendar year. Because the Fund is actively managed, the relative amount of the Fund’s total distributions derived from various sources over the calendar year may change. Please note that this information should not be used for tax reporting purposes as the tax character of distributable income may differ from the amounts used for this notification. You will receive IRS tax forms in the first quarter of each calendar year detailing the actual amount of the taxable and non-taxable portion of distributions paid to you during the tax year.

Fund Performance Discussion1

During the one-year period ended January 31, 2019, the Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) returned -10.71%. For the one-year period ended January 31, 2019, the Fund underperformed the S&P 500 Index and MSCI World Index, which returned -2.31% and -6.54%, respectively.

 

MARKET OVERVIEW

Markets were volatile in 2018 and hit a wall in the last quarter of the year, before picking up again in January 2019. Several shocks negatively affected market sentiment. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) once again decided to hike interest rates, as was nearly universally expected, but the post-meeting conference was more hawkish than expected. Markets were expecting a clear message that the Fed might consider a pause in any future rate increases, but that was not initially

 

communicated. Equity markets sold off, bonds rallied, and the U.S. dollar weakened. The sell-offs were sizable, which led some to think a recession might be imminent. It was not just the Fed making headlines, some key economic data were also weaker in December. In the U.S., regional surveys from the Fed and Institute for Supply Management (ISM) sentiment surveys decreased markedly, along with a cool-off in housing. Politics were once again a factor because there was little clarity from the Trump Administration about the policies for tariffs on Chinese imports, and

the U.S. Government shutdown did not help in an environment where the appetite for risk declined. Risk markets rallied in January 2019. The strong gains were driven by a shift in the statements from the Fed, which signaled a more dovish tone on future interest rate rises.

Despite rallying in January 2019, equities generally declined for the one-year period ended January 31, 2019. U.S. equities outperformed their international counterparts, with the S&P 500 Index returning -2.31%, the MSCI ACWI returning -7.48%, and emerging markets falling the most with a -14.24% return for the MSCI Emerging Markets Index. Growth stocks continued to outperform value stocks this reporting period. Fixed income fared better than equities in a volatile environment, with the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returning 2.25% and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index, Hedged returning 3.58%.

FUND REVIEW

In a volatile market environment for equities, the Fund produced negative returns. With international stocks underperforming U.S. stocks this period, the Fund’s allocation to Oppenheimer International Growth Fund and Oppenheimer International Equity Fund detracted from performance. Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund also negatively impacted absolute results as emerging market equities had a difficult reporting period. As mentioned earlier, value stocks underperformed this reporting period, which impacted Oppenheimer Value

Fund’s performance. Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund, which typically invests in large-cap U.S. growth stocks, fared better than Oppenheimer Value Fund as growth outperformed; however, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund experienced declines and negatively impacted performance as it remained a top holding for most of the reporting period. We significantly trimmed our exposure to Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund over the closing months of the reporting period.

Oppenheimer Global Fund and Oppenheimer Emerging Markets Innovators Fund were underlying equity funds that contributed positively to performance this period. We initiated positions in these underlying funds over the second half of the reporting period.

POST-PERIOD UPDATE

Shortly after the reporting period ended on February 1, 2019, we implemented changes to the Fund, which we believe will meaningfully enhance our investment capabilities and flexibility to manage the strategy in line with client expectations. The investment universe of the Fund has been expanded across OppenheimerFunds’ products, including additional mutual funds, ETFs and closed-end funds, which will offer us additional component parts and greater investment flexibility to seek to achieve the Fund’s investment objective. In addition, the Fund will permit derivative usage for better cash and duration management. To reflect the expanded investable universe, Oppenheimer

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800. CALL OPP (225.5677). Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and the applicable sales charge: for Class A shares, the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75% and for Class C shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. There is no sales charge for Class R and Class Y shares. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes and sales charges.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI World Index. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks intended to be a representative sample of leading companies in leading industries within the U.S. economy. The MSCI World Index is an index of issuers listed on the stock exchanges of foreign countries and the United States. It is widely recognized as a measure of global stock market performance. The indices unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

The views in the Fund Performance Discussion represent the opinions of this Fund’s portfolio manager(s) and are not intended as investment advice or to predict or depict the performance of any investment. These views are as of the close of business on January 31, 2019, and are

subject to change based on subsequent developments. The Fund’s portfolio and strategies are subject to change.

Before investing in any of the Oppenheimer funds, investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and/or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended January 31, 2019.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended January 31, 2019” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS January 31, 2019

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. Equity Investor Fund, (the “Fund”), (effective February 1, 2019, the Fund will be named Growth Investor Fund), is a series of the Trust whose investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of Oppenheimer mutual funds (individually, an “Underlying Fund” and collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI.

The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shares, and previously offered Class B shares for new purchase through June 29, 2012. Subsequent to that date, no new purchases of Class B shares were permitted. Reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds were permitted through May 31, 2018. Effective June 1, 2018 (the “Conversion Date”), all Class B shares converted to Class A shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class C and Class R shares are sold, and Class B shares were sold, without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class R shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class R shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors or intermediaries without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the intermediaries may impose charges on their accountholders who beneficially own Class Y shares. 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, C and R shares have, and Class B shares had, separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay, and Class B shares paid, fees. Class Y shares do not pay such fees. Previously issued Class B shares automatically converted to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies

Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.

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

 

21      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES GROWTH INVESTOR FUND


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as determined necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend distributions received from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Upon receipt of notification from an Underlying Fund, and subsequent to the ex-dividend date, some of the dividend income originally recorded by the Fund may be reclassified as a tax return of capital by reducing the cost basis of the Underlying Fund and/or increasing the realized gain on sales of investments in the Underlying Fund.

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 overdraft at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.35%. 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.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2019, including open tax years, and does not believe there

are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

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

1. During the reporting period, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.

2. During the previous reporting period, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 the reporting period. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2017, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2017-08. This provides guidance related to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Manager has evaluated the impacts of these changes on the financial statements and there are no material impacts.

During August 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) issued Final Rule Release No. 33-10532 (the “Rule”), Disclosure Update and Simplification. The rule amends certain financial statement disclosure requirements to conform to U.S. GAAP. The amendments to Rule 6-04.17 of Regulation S-X (balance sheet) remove the requirement to separately state the book basis components of net assets: undistributed (over-distribution of) net investment income (“UNII”), accumulated undistributed net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) at the balance sheet date. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose total distributable earnings. The amendments to Rule 6-09 of Regulation S-X (statement of changes in net assets) remove the requirement to separately state the sources of distributions paid. Instead, consistent with U.S. GAAP, funds will be required to disclose the total amount of distributions paid, except that any tax return of capital must be separately disclosed. The amendments also remove the requirement to parenthetically state the book basis amount of UNII on the statement of changes in net assets. The requirements of the Rule were effective November 5, 2018, and the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities and Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the current reporting period have been modified accordingly. In addition, certain amounts within the Fund’s Statement of Changes in Net Assets for the prior fiscal period have been modified to conform to the Rule.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares based upon the net asset value of the applicable investment companies. For each investment company, the net asset value per

 

24      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES GROWTH INVESTOR FUND


 

 

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

share for a class of shares is determined as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange” or “NYSE”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange. This is calculated by dividing the value of the investment company’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of outstanding shares of that class on that day.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at least quarterly or more frequently, if necessary.

Valuations Methods and Inputs

To determine their net asset values, the Underlying Funds’ assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations as generally supplied by third party portfolio pricing services or by dealers. Such market quotations are typically based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities or other observable market inputs.

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or when a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, are fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those Underlying Funds.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs may be used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

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

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

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

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The Fund classifies each of its investments in investment companies which are publicly offered as Level 1. Investment companies that are not publicly offered, if any, are measured using net asset value and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities at period end based on valuation input level:

Forward currency exchange contracts and futures contracts, if any, are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. All additional assets and liabilities included in the above table are reported at their market value at measurement date.

For the reporting period, there were no transfers between levels.

 

 

4. Investments and Risks

Risks of Investing in the Underlying Funds. The Fund invests in other mutual funds advised by the Manager. The Underlying Funds are registered open-end management investment companies under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to, the Underlying Funds. The Fund’s Investments in Underlying Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Underlying Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Underlying Funds’ expenses, including their management fee.

Each of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund.

 

 

5. Market Risk Factors

The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of

 

26      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES GROWTH INVESTOR FUND


 

 

5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)

assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.

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

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

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

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.

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

 

 

6. Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager does not charge a management fee, but rather collects indirect management fees from the Fund’s investments in the Underlying Funds. The weighted indirect management fees collected from the Fund’s investment in the Underlying Funds, as a percent of average daily net assets of the Fund for the reporting period was 0.66%. This amount is gross of any waivers or reimbursements of management fees implemented at the Underlying Fund level.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the indirect investment management fee collected by the Manager, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

 

28      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES GROWTH INVESTOR FUND


 

 

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s Independent Trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each Trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active Independent Trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan.

During the reporting period, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired Trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:

 

Projected Benefit Obligations Increased    $                     —  
Payments Made to Retired Trustees      1,544  
Accumulated Liability as of January 31, 2019      11,430  

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

Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement

8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

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 (the “Plan”) for Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund 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 daily 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. 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 R Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class C and Class R shares, and had previously adopted a similar plan for Class B shares, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act to compensate the Distributor for distributing those share classes, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class C shares’ daily net assets and 0.25% on Class R shares’ daily net assets. The Fund paid the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B shares prior to their Conversion Date. The Fund also pays a service fee under the Plans at an annual rate of 0.25% of daily net assets and previously paid this fee for Class B prior to their Conversion Date. The Plans continue in effect from year to year only if the Fund’s Board of Trustees votes annually to approve their continuance at an in person meeting called for that purpose. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

9. Pending Acquisition

On October 18, 2018, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, an indirect corporate parent of the Sub-Adviser and the Manager, announced that it has entered into an agreement whereby Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), a global investment management company, will acquire the Sub-Adviser (the “Transaction”). In connection with the Transaction, on January 11, 2019, the Fund’s Board unanimously approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”), which provides for the transfer of the assets and liabilities of the Fund to a corresponding, newly formed fund (the “Acquiring Fund”) in the Invesco family of funds (the “Reorganization”) in exchange for shares of the corresponding Acquiring Fund of equal value to the value of the shares of the Fund as of the close of business on the closing date. Although the Acquiring Fund will be managed by Invesco Advisers, Inc., the Acquiring Fund will, as of the closing date, have the same investment objective and substantially similar principal investment strategies and risks as the Fund. After the Reorganization, Invesco Advisers, Inc. will be the investment adviser to the Acquiring Fund, and the Fund will be liquidated and dissolved under applicable law and terminate its registration under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Reorganization is expected to be a tax-free reorganization for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Reorganization is subject to the approval of shareholders of the Fund. Shareholders of record of the Fund on January 14, 2019 will be entitled to vote on the Reorganization and will receive a combined prospectus and proxy statement describing the Reorganization, the shareholder meeting, and a discussion of the factors the Fund’s Board considered in approving the Agreement. The combined prospectus and proxy statement is expected to be distributed to shareholders of record on or about February 28, 2019. The anticipated date of the shareholder meeting is on or about April 12, 2019.

If shareholders approve the Agreement and certain other closing conditions are satisfied or waived, the Reorganization is expected to close during the second quarter of 2019, or as soon as practicable thereafter. This is subject to change.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

To the Shareholders of Growth Investor Fund and Board of Trustees of

Oppenheimer Portfolio Series:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Growth Investor Fund, formerly Equity Investor Fund, (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Portfolio Series, including the statement of investments, as of January 31, 2019, 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 related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2019, 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.

Basis for Opinion

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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2019, by correspondence with the transfer agent, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Oppenheimer Funds investment companies, however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Oppenheimer Funds investment companies since at least 1969.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited

 

 

In early 2019, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2018.

Capital gain distributions of $0.95125 per share were paid to Class A, Class C, Class R and Class Y shareholders, respectively, on December 20, 2018. Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of the capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains).

Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 67.11% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.

A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $11,735,412 of the Fund’s fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2019, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.

Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the reporting period, the maximum amount allowable but not less than $281,022 of the ordinary distributions to be paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend.

The Fund has elected the application of Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code to permit shareholders to take a federal income tax credit or deduction, at their option, on a per share basis. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $969,701 of foreign income taxes were paid by the Fund during the reporting period. A separate notice will be mailed to each shareholder, which will reflect the proportionate share of such foreign taxes which must be treated by shareholders as gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Gross income of the maximum amount allowable but not less than $3,718,523 was derived from sources within foreign countries or possessions of the United States.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY

AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to approve the terms of the Agreements and the renewal thereof. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Managers and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the comparative investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative fee and expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Managers’ duties include providing the Fund with the services of the Sub-Adviser’s portfolio manager and investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; and securities trading services. OFI Global is responsible for oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; risk management; and oversight of the Sub-Adviser. OFI Global is also responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. OFI Global also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

 

34      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES GROWTH INVESTOR FUND


The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Managers’ advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance and risk management services, among other services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of their staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Jeffrey Bennett, the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which the Board members have become knowledgeable about through their experiences with the Managers and in connection with the review or renewal of the Fund’s service agreements or service providers. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreements.

Investment Performance of the Managers and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Managers provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Managers and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant benchmarks or market indices and to the performance of other retail funds in the world large stock category. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was better than its category median.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Adviser and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Adviser’s fee under the sub-advisory agreement. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Adviser. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other retail front-end load world large stock funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. The Board noted that the Fund was charged no actual management fees, exclusive of Underlying Fund management fees, while certain peer group funds did charge direct management fees. The Board also noted that the Fund’s total expenses were lower than its peer group and category median.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the Managers’ costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers’ profitability from their relationship with the Fund. The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services

 

35      OPPENHEIMER PORTFOLIO SERIES GROWTH INVESTOR FUND


BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY

AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

to the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Managers may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund and whether those economies of scale benefit the Fund’s shareholders at the current level of Fund assets in relation to its management fee. The Fund currently does not charge a management fee.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through September 30, 2019. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents

This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus (or, if available, the fund’s summary prospectus), annual and semiannual report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.

Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800.CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus (or, if available, the summary prospectus), reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

Internet Security and Encryption

In general, the email services provided by our website are encrypted and provide a secure and private means of communication with us. To protect your own privacy, confidential and/ or personal information should only be communicated via email when you are advised that you are using a secure website.

As a security measure, we do not include personal or account information in non-secure emails, and we advise you not to send such information to us in non-secure emails. Instead, you may take advantage of the secure features of our website to encrypt your email correspondence. To do this, you will need to use a browser that supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

All transactions conducted via our websites, including redemptions, exchanges and purchases, are secured by the highest encryption standards available. SSL is used to establish a secure connection between your PC and OppenheimerFunds’ server. It transmits information in an encrypted and scrambled format.

Encryption is achieved through an electronic scrambling technology that uses a “key” to code and then decode the data. Encryption acts like the cable converter box you may have on your television set. It scrambles data with a secret code so that no one can make sense of it while it is being transmitted. When the data reaches its destination, the same software unscrambles the data.

You can exit the secure area by closing your browser or, for added security, you can use the Log Out button before you close your browser.

Other Security Measures

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal account information. Our employees and agents have access to that information only so that they may offer you products or provide services, for example, when responding to your account questions.

How You Can Help

You can also do your part to keep your account information private and to prevent unauthorized transactions. If you obtain a user ID and password for your account, safeguard that information. Strengthening your online credentials–your online security profile–typically your user name, password, and security questions and answers, can be one of your most important lines of defense on the Internet.
