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. Fund returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions. 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 Swiss Re Cat Bond Total Return Index and the Swiss Re Global Cat Bond Total Return Index. The Swiss Re Cat Bond Total Return Index tracks outstanding U.S. dollar denominated catastrophe bonds. The Swiss Re Global Cat Bond Total Return Index is a basket of natural catastrophe bonds tracked by Swiss Re Capital Markets; is calculated on a weekly basis; is market-value weighted; and

includes reinvestment of income. The Fund has changed its benchmark from the Swiss Re Cat Bond Total Return Index to the Swiss Re Global Cat Bond Total Return Index, which it believes is a more appropriate measure of the Fund’s performance. The Fund will not show performance for the Swiss Re Cat Bond Total Return Index in its next annual report. 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 September 30, 2018, and are subject to change based on subsequent developments. The Fund’s portfolio and strategies are subject to change.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund produced a return of 3.68% over the one-year reporting period ended September 30, 2018, compared to the Swiss Re Global Cat Bond Total Return Index (the “Index”), which returned 8.49%.

 

The top underperforming bonds during the reporting period were multi-peril bonds Caelus Re V and Residential Re Ltd., which are issued by Nationwide and United Services Automotive Association (USAA), the insurer for U.S. military personnel and their families, respectively. These bonds experienced losses from Hurricanes Harvey and Irma in 2017, the California wildfire events of late 2017, and the March 2018 winter storms on the U.S. east coast.

Top performers for the Fund this reporting period were Galileo Re Ltd., Galilei Re Ltd., and Blue Halo Re Ltd. XL Bermuda, the issuer

of the Galileo and Galilei bonds, experienced lower than expected losses from the 2017 hurricanes. These high-yielding bonds fared well as a result. Blue Halo Re are also bonds bearing Florida hurricane risk, but for which the market priced in a much lower probability of any principal loss following loss reports in the fourth quarter of 2017.

OUTLOOK

For the remainder of 2018, we will continue to watch the market as the impact of Hurricane Florence on bonds with layers of risk sensitive to south-east hurricane risk and

flood-related losses plays out for reinsurers. Additionally, the expected losses around catastrophe bonds with exposure to wildfire events in California should develop and be reported.

A number of these recent events have also highlighted the ongoing concerns across the industry around the insurance protection gap—i.e., underinsurance or the difference between economic losses and the amount of insurance coverage purchased.

Flood insurance is an example of the problem, where local economic damages from events like Hurricane Florence can be significant, and while there is meaningful re-insurance coverage in the area, the actual insured coverage is well below actual damage levels for homeowners, businesses and local governments.

Flood-related perils in the United States have traditionally only been handled through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). But given the recent impact of events like Hurricanes Harvey and Florence, we have seen the NFIP seek to bolster its reinsurance program, including coming to the cat bond market to help reinsure its flood insurance policies.

We anticipate this will continue to expand, as FEMA now views the capital markets as a key partner alongside traditional reinsurers to protect its exposure to catastrophic flood events.

At the same time, California utility agencies are seeking liability protection from wildfire events where their infrastructure is determined to cause the event. First PG&E and now Sempra have tapped the cat bond market protection for the first time. The market is expecting to see other utilities potentially seek transfer of this unique form of cat bond risk.

Indonesia is also now reported to be looking at a disaster management program in the wake of recent earthquake and tsunami impacts that would include insurance-linked securities and cat bonds. The World Bank has already worked successfully with other developing nations in Central and South American to create new parametric-based earthquake cat bonds. We will see if they expand that partnership with this region.

The expansion of such natural disaster coverage has been an ongoing issue in the market. These new issuers are following a pattern we are observing more often in the cat bond marketplace—namely, when events occur in areas with a significant protection gap what typically follows is an effort around how to address it with re/insurers increasingly reaching out to tap the insurance-linked securities market as a source for future risk transfer.

The percentages above are based on the market value of the Fund’s securities as of September 30, 2018, and are subject to change. Except for securities labeled “Unrated,” all securities have been rated by at least one Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”), such as Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”). For securities rated only by an NRSRO other than S&P, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) converts that rating to the equivalent S&P rating. If two or more NRSROs have assigned a rating to a security, the highest S&P equivalent rating is used. For securities not rated by an NRSRO, the Sub-Adviser uses its own credit analysis to assign ratings in categories similar to those of S&P. The use of similar categories is not an indication that the Sub-Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with any NRSRO’s process were that NRSRO to rate the same security. Fund assets invested in Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund are assigned that fund’s S&P rating, which is currently AAA. For the purposes of this table, “investment-grade” securities are securities rated within the NRSROs’ four highest rating categories (AAA, AA, A and BBB). Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be the equivalent of investment-grade. Please consult the Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for further information.

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 September 30, 2018.

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, 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 September 30, 2018” 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, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year 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 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, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized expense ratio, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended September 30, 2018 is as follows:

 

Expense Ratio                
                0.44%          

The expense ratio reflects 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” table in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also shows the gross expense ratio, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2018

 

 

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund (the “Fund”) is organized as a Delaware limited liability company and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as a diversified open-end, management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. 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.

Shares of the Fund are issued solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Investments in the Fund may only be made by certain “accredited investors” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, including other investment companies. The Fund currently offers one class of shares.

For federal income tax purposes, the Fund qualifies as a partnership, and each investor in the Fund is treated as the owner of its proportionate share of the net assets, income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains and losses of the Fund. Accordingly, as a “pass-through” entity, the Fund pays no dividends or capital gain distributions.

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.

Foreign Currency Translation. The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Any foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars on the following basis:

(1) Value of investment securities, other assets and liabilities — at the exchange rates prevailing at market close as described in Note 3.

(2) Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses — at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

Although the net assets and the values are presented at the foreign exchange rates at market close, the Fund does not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments shown in the Statement of Operations.

For securities, which are subject to foreign withholding tax upon disposition, realized and unrealized gains or losses on such securities are recorded net of foreign withholding tax.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding tax reclaims recorded on the Fund’s books, and the U.S. dollar equivalent of

 

22      OPPENHEIMER MASTER EVENT-LINKED BOND FUND, LLC


    

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities, resulting from changes in the exchange rate.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 2.00%. 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 Directors 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, as an entity, will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. The Fund will be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a partnership, and not as an association taxable as a corporation. Therefore, a tax provision is not required. Each shareholder is required for U.S. federal income tax purposes to take into account, in its taxable year with which (or within which a taxable year of the Fund ends), its distributive share of all items of Fund income, gains, losses, and deductions for such taxable year of the Fund. A shareholder must take such items into account even if the Fund does not distribute cash or other property to such shareholder during its taxable year.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

 

 

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Although the Fund is treated as a partnership for Federal tax purposes, it is intended that the Fund’s assets, income and distributions will be managed in such a way that investment in the Fund would not cause an investor that is a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code (“RIC”) to fail that qualification.

The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2018, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.

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 Pronouncement. 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 is evaluating the impacts of these changes on the financial statements.

 

 

3. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) 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.

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.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

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

 

24      OPPENHEIMER MASTER EVENT-LINKED BOND FUND, LLC


    

 

 

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

Event-linked bonds, are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward currency rates obtained from third party pricing services. When the settlement date of a contract is an interim date for which a quotation is not available, interpolated values are derived using the nearest dated forward currency rate.

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. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager regularly compares prior day prices and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

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)

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

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 classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

4. Investments and Risks

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered 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 Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Funds.

Each of the Affiliated 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 Affiliated Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Affiliated Fund.

Investments in Money Market Instruments. The Fund is permitted to invest its free cash balances in money market instruments to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund may invest in money market instruments by investing in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Government Money Market Fund (“IGMMF”), which is an Affiliated Fund. IGMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Fund may also invest in money market instruments directly or in other affiliated or unaffiliated money market funds.

Event-Linked Bonds. The Fund invests in “event-linked” bonds. Event-linked bonds, which are sometimes referred to as “catastrophe” bonds, are fixed income securities for which the return of principal and payment of interest is contingent on the non-occurrence of a specific trigger event, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or other occurrence that leads to physical or economic loss. If the trigger event occurs prior to maturity, the Fund may lose all or a portion of its principal in addition to interest otherwise due from the security. Event-linked bonds may expose the Fund to certain other risks, including issuer default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations, liquidity risk and adverse tax consequences. The Fund records the net change in market value of event-linked bonds on the Statement of Operations as a change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The Fund records a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon the sale or maturity of such securities.

At period end, securities with an aggregate market value of $364,349,092, representing 97.6% of the Fund’s net assets were comprised of event-linked bonds.

Restricted Securities. At period end, investments in securities included issues that are restricted. A restricted security may have a contractual restriction on its resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Directors as reflecting fair value. Securities that are restricted are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments. Restricted securities are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments.

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

 

Concentration Risk. Focusing on one type of investment, event-linked bonds, rather than a broad spectrum of investments, makes the Fund’s share price particularly sensitive to market, economic and natural and non-natural events that may affect this investment type. The Fund’s investment in event-linked bonds may be speculative and subject to greater price volatility than other types of investments.

Shareholder Concentration. At period end, 100% of the shares of the Fund were owned by the Manager, other funds advised or sub-advised by the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager.

 

 

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 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. Use of Derivatives

The Fund’s investment objective not only permits the Fund to purchase investment securities, it also allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.

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

The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date. Such contracts are traded in the OTC inter-bank currency dealer market.

Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable (or payable) and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with either specific transactions or portfolio instruments or to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

 

29      OPPENHEIMER MASTER EVENT-LINKED BOND FUND, LLC


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

 

 

6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)

 

During the reporting period, the Fund had daily average contract amounts on forward contracts to buy and sell of $1,243,301 and $18,764,222, respectively.

Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty to a forward contract will default and fail to perform its obligations to the Fund.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund. For OTC options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform.

To reduce counterparty risk with respect to OTC transactions, the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.

ISDA master agreements include credit related contingent features which allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for centrally cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for centrally cleared swaps.

 

30      OPPENHEIMER MASTER EVENT-LINKED BOND FUND, LLC


    

 

 

6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)

 

With respect to centrally cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate centrally cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including centrally cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund or the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g., $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

The following table presents by counterparty the Fund’s OTC derivative assets net of the related collateral pledged by the Fund at period end:

9. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate of 0.40%.

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 investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, 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 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.

Directors’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Directors (“Board”) has adopted a compensation deferral plan for Independent Directors that enables Directors 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 Directors under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund

 

33      OPPENHEIMER MASTER EVENT-LINKED BOND FUND, LLC


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

 

 

9. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

 

or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Directors. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Directors 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 Directors’ 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.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. 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 IGMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $13,479 for IGMMF management fees. This fee waiver and/ or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

 

10. Subsequent Event

On October 18, 2018, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (“MassMutual”), an indirect corporate parent of the Sub-Adviser and the Manager announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement, whereby Invesco Ltd. (“Invesco”), a global investment management company, will acquire the Sub-Adviser. As of the time of the announcement, the transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2019, pending necessary regulatory and other third-party approvals. This is subject to change.

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 Directors (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.

 

36      OPPENHEIMER MASTER EVENT-LINKED BOND FUND, LLC


    

 

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 Caleb Wong, 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 and the Managers, including comparative performance information. The Board reviewed information, prepared by the Managers and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to its benchmark and to the performance of other nontraditional bond funds. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its category median during the five-year period, ranking in the 3rd percentile of its category, though it underperformed its category median during the more recent periods. The Board also noted that the Fund ranked in the 1st, 8th, 8th and 24th percentile of its category for the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 calendar years, respectively. The Board considered the Managers’ statements about the factors that contributed to the Fund’s underperformance in 2017, including the catastrophic weather events that occurred during the year and resulted in one of the most challenging years in the history of the asset class. The Board further considered the Fund’s performance as compared to a custom peer group consisting of 13 funds, which the Managers use for certain general performance comparisons for the Fund. In this regard, the Board noted that the Fund was ranked at the top of the custom peer group for the five-year period ended August 31, 2017 (before the catastrophic weather events of September and October 2017), and that the Fund was the second top-performing fund in the custom peer group for the five-year period ended April 30, 2018.

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

AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited / Continued

 

nontraditional bond funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual management fee and its total expenses were below their respective peer group medians and category medians. The Board further considered that the Adviser has agreed to waive a portion of the Fund’s management fee to the extent of the Fund’s share of the management fee paid to the Adviser by affiliated money market funds of which the Fund is a shareholder.

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 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 does not have management fee breakpoints at this time.

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 Directors meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Directors. Fund counsel and the independent Directors’ 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 Directors, decided to continue the Agreements through August 31, 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.

Based on their evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c)) as of 9/30/2018, the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer found the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a) is accumulated and communicated to registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

There have been no changes in the registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.

EX-99.CODE ETH 2 d648886dex99codeeth.htm CODE OF ETHICS Code of Ethics

CODE OF ETHICS FOR PRINCIPAL EXECUTIVE AND FINANCIAL OFFICERS OF THE OPPENHEIMER FUNDS, OPPENHEIMERFUNDS, INC., OFI GLOBAL ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. AND OFI STEELPATH, INC.

This Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Financial Officers (referred to in this document as the “Code”) has been adopted by each of the investment companies for which OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global”) , OFI SteelPath, Inc. (“OFI SteelPath”) or one of OFI’s other subsidiaries (referred to collectively in this document as “OFI”) acts as investment adviser (individually, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), and by OFI to effectuate compliance with Section 406 under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules adopted to implement Section 406.

This Code applies to OFI’s and each Fund’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions (“Covered Officers”). A listing of positions currently within the ambit of Covered Officers is attached as Exhibit A.1

INTRODUCTION / DEFINITION / POLICY STATEMENT:

In general, the principles that govern honest and ethical conduct, including the avoidance of conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships, reflect, at the minimum, the following: (1) the duty at all times in performing any responsibilities as a Fund financial officer, controller, accountant or principal executive officer to place the interests of the Funds ahead of personal interests; (2) the fundamental standard that Covered Officers should not take inappropriate advantage of their positions; (3) the duty to assure that a Fund’s financial statements and reports to its shareholders are prepared honestly and accurately in accordance with applicable rules, regulations and accounting standards; and (4) the duty to conduct the Funds’ business and affairs in an honest and ethical manner. Each Covered Officer should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

It is acknowledged that, as a result of the contractual relationship between each Fund and OFI, of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees, and subject to OFI’s fiduciary duties to each Fund, the Covered Officers may, in the normal course of their duties, be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions that will have different effects on OFI and the Funds. It is further acknowledged that the participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between each Fund and OFI and is consistent with the expectations of the Board of Trustees/Directors of the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Funds.

 

1

The obligations imposed by this Code on Covered Officers are separate from and in addition to any obligations that may be imposed on such persons as Covered Persons under the Code of Ethics adopted by OFI and the Funds under Rule 17j-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended and any other code of conduct applicable to Covered Officers in whatever capacity they serve. This Code does not incorporate by reference any provisions of the Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics and accordingly, any violations or waivers granted under the Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics will not be considered a violation or waiver under this Code.


POLICY DETAILS:

 

A.

POLICY STATEMENT

Overview. As a means of implementing Section 406 of SOX (“Section 406”), the SEC has adopted certain rules that require a mutual fund to disclose:

 

   

Whether or not it has adopted a code of ethics that applies to the mutual fund’s principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer, controller or any other person that performs similar functions (each a “Covered Officer” and, collectively, the “Covered Officers”);

 

   

Why, if it has not adopted such code, it has not done so; and

 

   

Amendments to, and waivers from, the code of ethics relating to any of the Covered Officers.

Section 406 defines a “code of ethics” to mean such standards as are reasonable necessary to promote:

 

   

Honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

 

   

Full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the periodic reports required to be filed by the issuer; and

 

   

Compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations.

This Code of Ethics for Principal Executive and Financial Officers (the “Executive Code”) sets forth standards and procedures to ensure compliance with SOX Section 406 and shall apply to each Covered Officer of the Funds and ETF Trust (referred to herein as the “Funds”).

Honest and ethical conduct. This Executive Code is intended to assure that the behavior of Covered Officers does not put, or appear to put, the interests of other parties above those of the Funds and that conflicts of interest are identified and handled ethically. A conflict of interest occurs when a Covered Officer allows, or appears to allow, advantages that could otherwise be avoided or ameliorated, to other parties at the expense of a Fund. Such advantages may benefit a Covered Officer’s own private interests over the interests of the Funds. Conflicts of interest may also arise when, in addition to serving as a Covered Officer of the Funds, a Covered Officer also holds a position as an officer or employee of an investment adviser or other entity retained by a Fund. A conflict of interest may be created if a Covered Officer who also serves as an officer or employee of an investment adviser to the Funds, provides benefits to another party that are improper, or that are a breach of the Covered Officer’s fiduciary relationship to the Funds, if the benefit was derived from such Covered Officer’s position with the Funds.

The compliance programs and procedures of the Funds and the investment adviser(s) to the Funds are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of provisions set forth in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, including certain conflict of interest provisions. The obligations imposed by this Executive Code on Covered Officers are separate and in addition to any obligations imposed on such persons under any other procedures, such as the Code of Ethics adopted by the Funds and the investment advisers to the Funds pursuant to Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act. This Executive Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures. Violations of such other programs and procedures shall be addressed in accordance with the applicable program or procedure, unless or until it is determined that a violation of such program and procedure is also a violation of this Executive Code.


If a Covered Officer becomes aware of a conflict of interest or perceives there to be a conflict of interest, such Covered Officer shall promptly report the matter to the Funds’ Chief Compliance Officer or the OFI General Counsel. Upon receipt of a report, the Chief Compliance Officer or OFI General Counsel will take prompt steps to determine whether a conflict or perceived conflict of interest exists. If it is determined that an actual or perceived conflict of interest exists, the Chief Compliance Officer or OFI General Counsel will take steps to resolve the conflict or the appearance of a conflict. If it is determined that no conflict or appearance of a conflict exists, the Chief Compliance Officer or OFI General Counsel shall meet with the Covered Officer to advise him or her of such finding and of his or her reason for taking no action. In lieu of determining whether a conflict or appearance of conflict exists, the matter may be referred to the Funds’ Boards.

Prohibited Activity: No Covered Officer shall, in connection with carrying out his or her duties on behalf of the Funds:

 

   

Use information concerning business and affairs of the Funds, including the investment intentions of the Funds, for personal gain to himself or herself, his or her family or friends or any other person, or in a manner detrimental to the interests of the Funds or the shareholders of the Funds;

 

   

Use his or her ability to influence investment intentions for personal gain to himself or herself, his or her family or friends or any other person or in a manner detrimental to the Funds or the shareholders of the Funds;

 

   

Use his or her personal influence or personal relationships to influence the preparation and issuance of financial reports of a Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of Funds or the shareholders of the Funds;

 

   

Intentionally take any action or fail to take any action in connection with his or her official acts on behalf of the Funds that causes the Funds to violate applicable laws, rules and regulations;

 

   

Employ any device, scheme, artifice or manipulative practice to defraud the Funds or the shareholders of the Funds;

 

   

Intentionally cause the Funds to make any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact that conflicts with statements made in official documents, regulatory filings, financial statements or communications to the public;

 

   

Intentionally cause the Funds to fail to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations, including failure to comply with the requirement of full, fair, accurate, understandable and timely disclosure in reports and documents that the Funds file with, or submit to, the SEC and in other public communications;


   

Intentionally mislead or fail to provide material information to the independent auditors of the Funds or to the Board of Trustees/Directors or the officers of the Funds or their investment adviser(s) in connection with financial reporting matters;

 

   

Intentionally cause a Fund to be financially disadvantaged or to bear unwarranted expenses;

 

   

Retaliate against others for, or otherwise discourage the reporting of, actual or apparent violations of this Code.

Waivers. Covered Officers requesting a waiver of any of the provisions of the Executive Code must submit a written request for such waiver to the Compliance Department, setting forth the basis of such request and all necessary facts upon which such request can be evaluated.

The Compliance Department shall review such request and make a written determination thereon, which shall be binding. The Compliance Department may, in reviewing such request, consult in its discretion with legal counsel to the Funds, or the Board, if applicable.

In determining whether to waive any of the provisions of this Code, the Compliance Department shall consider whether the proposed waiver:

 

   

Is prohibited by this Executive Code;

 

   

Is consistent with honest and ethical conduct; and

 

   

Will result in a conflict of interest between the Covered Officer’s personal and professional obligations to a Fund.

For purposes of clarification, a determination by a Board as to the appropriate handling of a conflict of interest that has been disclosed to it and that does not involve unethical or fraudulent conduct does not constitute a waiver of this Executive Code.

Sanctions. Any violation of this Executive Code shall be subject to the imposition of such sanctions as may be deemed appropriate under the circumstances and may include, without limitation, a letter of censure, suspension from employment or termination of employment.

 

B.

POLICY IMPLEMENTATION

Provides disclosure to the effect that the Funds have adopted the Executive Code;

 

   

Includes the current Executive Code as an exhibit; and

 

   

Provides disclosure with respect to any waivers that have been granted under the Executive Code.

Amendments. At least annually, the Board of each Fund shall review the Executive Code and consider whether any amendments are necessary or desirable. Proposed amendments to the Executive Code shall be presented to the Boards for review and approval at such times other than the annual review as deemed necessary or desirable by the Chief Compliance Officer.
