NOTES
Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of
dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the
periods shown. Cumulative total returns are not annualized. The Funds total
returns shown do not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an individuals
investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns on income or gains
paid by the Fund or any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.
Before investing in any of the Oppenheimer funds, investors should carefully
consider a funds 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.
The Funds investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of
specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by
OppenheimerFunds, Inc.

otherwise noted, Class C returns include the contingent deferred sales charge

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, 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 November
30, 2011.
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 Period 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 Funds 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 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), or a $12.00 fee
imposed annually on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to
exceptions described in the Statement of Additional Information). 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 Funds annualized expense ratio for that
class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied
by 183/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense
ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the
6-month period ended November 30, 2011 are as follows:

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

Currency contracts and forwards, if any, are reported at their
unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents
the change in the contracts value from trade date. Futures, if any, are
reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the

liabilities included in the above table are reported at their market value
at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in
determining value of the Funds investments, and a summary of changes to the
valuation methodologies, if any, during the reporting period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Currency Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a non-diversified open-end
management investment company. The Funds investment objective is to seek
total return. The Funds investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the
Manager). As of November 30, 2011, approximately 36% 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.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. Class A
shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value
plus a front-end sales charge. Class C and Class N shares are sold without
a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales
charge (CDSC). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans.
Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those
accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors 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 N shares have separate distribution and/or service plans
under which they pay fees. Class Y shares do not pay such fees.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares
as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange), normally
4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
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. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
securities are classified as Level 1, observable market inputs other
than unadjusted quoted prices are classified as Level 2 and significant
unobservable inputs, including the Managers judgment about the
assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or
liability, are classified as Level 3. The inputs used for valuing
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with
investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Funds investments
under these levels of classification is included following the Statement
of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when
available, as supplied primarily by portfolio pricing services approved by
the Board of Trustees or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are
valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the
principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the
Funds assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are
valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to
the time when the Funds assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the
security is valued at the last sale price
26 | OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND
on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current
days closing bid and asked prices, and if not, at the current days
closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued
based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security
is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the
Manager, prior to the time when the Funds assets are valued. In the absence
of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price
on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on
an exchange are valued at that investment companys net asset value
per share.
U.S. domestic and international debt instruments (including
corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized mortgage
obligations and asset-backed securities) and money market-type debt
instruments with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued
at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing price
quotations obtained from independent pricing services or broker-dealers.
Such prices are typically determined based upon information obtained from
market participants including reported trade data, broker-dealer price
quotations and inputs such as benchmark yields and issuer spreads from
identical or similar securities.
Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing
current and forward currency rates obtained from independent pricing
services.
Money market-type debt instruments with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of
discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates
market value.
In the absence of a current price quotation obtained from an
independent pricing service or broker-dealer, including for securities
whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies
as a significant event occurring before the Funds assets are valued but
after the close of the securities respective exchanges, the Manager,
acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines
the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures
under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair
valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized
methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but
are not limited to, pricing securities 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 adjusted for any discounts related to
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.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation
methodologies of the Fund during the period.
The net asset value per share of the Subsidiary is determined as of
the close of the Exchange, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
The net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the
Subsidiarys net assets by the number of shares that are
outstanding. The Subsidiary values its investments in the same
manner as the Fund as described above.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Investment in Oppenheimer Currency Opportunities Fund (Cayman) Ltd. The
Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in Oppenheimer Currency
Opportunities Fund (Cayman) Ltd., a wholly-owned and controlled Cayman
Islands subsidiary (the Subsidiary).
The Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity-linked derivatives
(including commodity futures, financial futures, options and swap
contracts) and exchange-traded funds related to gold or other special
minerals. The Subsidiary may also invest in certain fixed-income
securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral
for its derivatives positions. The Fund wholly owns and controls the
Subsidiary, and the Fund and Subsidiary are both managed by the Manager.
The Fund does not consolidate the assets, liabilities, capital or
operations of the Subsidiary into its financial statements. Rather, the
Subsidiary is separately presented as an investment in the Funds
Statement of Investments. Shares of the Subsidiary are valued at their
net asset value per share. Gains or losses on withdrawals of capital from
the Subsidiary by the Fund are recognized on an average cost basis.
Unrealized appreciation or depreciation on the Funds investment in the
Subsidiary is recorded in the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities
and the Funds Statement of Operations. Distributions received from the
Subsidiary are recorded as income on the ex-dividend date.
For tax purposes, the Subsidiary is an exempted Cayman investment
company. The Subsidiary has received an undertaking from the Government
of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and
capital gains taxes through September of 2030. No such taxes are levied
in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes,
the Subsidiary is a Controlled Foreign Corporation and as such is not
subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned Controlled Foreign
Corporation, the Subsidiarys net income and capital gain, to the extent
of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Funds
investment company taxable income. For the six months ended November 30,
2011, the Subsidiary has a deficit of $2,640 in its taxable earnings and
profits. In addition, any in-kind capital contributions made by the Fund
to the Subsidiary will result in the Fund recognizing taxable gain to the
extent of unrealized gain, if any, on securities transferred to the
Subsidiary while any unrealized losses on securities so transferred will
not be recognized at the time of transfer.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional 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 Money Market Fund (IMMF) to seek current income
while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management
investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser
of IMMF. When applicable, the Funds investment in IMMF is included in the
Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value
per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share
of IMMFs Class E expenses,
28 | OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND
including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or
reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees
incurred through the Funds investment in IMMF.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Funds accounting records are maintained
in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies
and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and
foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close
of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange
is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a
reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency
transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and
maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange
rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities
transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends,
interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and
the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net
unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the
values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at
fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on
investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from
changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other
foreign currency gains and losses in the Funds Statement of Operations.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other
than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated
on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion
of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly
attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that
class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal
Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute
substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net
realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if
any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is
required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable
state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Funds tax return
filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period
ends.
During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2011, the Fund did not
utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized
in that fiscal year.
As of November 30, 2011, the Fund generated estimated capital
losses of $1,543,614 which will be carried forward to future years if
not offset by gains in the remaining six months of the Funds fiscal
year. During the six months ended November 30, 2011, it is estimated
that the Fund will not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset
realized capital gains.

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ
for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and
distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net
realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal
income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the
fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year
in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition
of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other
investments for federal income tax purposes as of November 30, 2011 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.

The Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010 (the Act)
was signed into law on December 22, 2010. The Act makes changes to a number
of tax rules impacting the Fund. Although the Act provides a number of
benefits, including the unlimited carryover of future capital losses, there
may be a greater likelihood that all or a portion of a funds prior year
capital loss carryovers will expire unused. In general, the provisions of
the Act will be effective for the Funds fiscal year ending 2012. Specific
information regarding the impact of the Act on the Fund will be contained
within the Federal Taxes section of the financial statement notes for the
fiscal year ending 2012.
Trustees Compensation. The Board of Trustees 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 Funds assets,
liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred
until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
30 | OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND
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. generally accepted
accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and
capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at
other times as deemed necessary by the Manager. The tax character of
distributions is determined as of the Funds fiscal year end. Therefore, a
portion of the Funds distributions made to shareholders prior to the Funds
fiscal year end may ultimately be categorized as a tax return of capital.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or
upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where
the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend
income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities
received. Interest income 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 0.50%. The Reduction to custodian expenses line
item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the
Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be
paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date.
Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Funds 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 Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would
be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of
material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.

Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the
Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund.
The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the six months ended November 30,
2011, the Fund paid $10,908 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000
annually for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject
to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or
exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum
fees.
Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributors
Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the
Distributor) acts as the Funds principal underwriter in the continuous
public offering of the Funds classes of shares.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the Plan) for Class A shares
under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. 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 C and Class N Shares. The Fund has
adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the Plans) for Class C and Class N
shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate
the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those
shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor
an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class C shares daily net
assets and 0.25% on Class N shares daily net assets. The Distributor also
receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class
C or Class N
33 | OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued
plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of
Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor
shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the
service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior
to the effective date of such termination. Fees incurred by the Fund under
the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distributor
determines its uncompensated expenses under the Plans at calendar quarter
ends. The Distributors aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has agreed to
voluntarily waive a portion of its management fees and/or reimburse the Fund
for certain expenses so that Expenses after payments, waivers and/or
reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses will not exceed 1.10% of
average annual net assets for Class A shares, 1.85% for Class C shares, 1.35%
for Class N shares and 0.85% for Class Y shares. During the six months ended
November 30, 2011, the Manager reimbursed the Fund $4,435, $9,902, $994 and
$4,852 for Class A, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares, respectively.
The Manager has contractually agreed to waive the management fee it
receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee paid to the
Manager by the Subsidiary. This undertaking will continue in effect for so
long as the Fund invests in the Subsidiary, and may not be terminated by the
Manager unless the Manager first obtains the prior approval of the Funds
Board of Trustees for such termination. During the six months ended November
30, 2011, the Manager waived $527.
The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount
equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Funds investment
in IMMF. During the six months ended November 30, 2011, the Manager waived
fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $1,094 for IMMF management fees.
OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing
agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class.
34 | OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any
time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the
date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.
5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments
The Funds investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase
investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types
of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts,
forward foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest
rate swaps, total return 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. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives
that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt
securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus
exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the
ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to
the contract. This 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.
Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to
increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following 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 to meet
interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general,
lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater
extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.
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.
35 | OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
5. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments Continued
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the
movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial
instruments price over a defined time period. Large increases or
decreases in a financial instruments price over a relative time period
typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or
decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
The Funds actual exposures to these market risk factors during the period
are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Funds use of derivatives can result
in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the
overall market. 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.
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. 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 Funds performance.
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. Associated risks
can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each
derivative type in the notes that follow.
Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to
counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not
fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Funds derivative counterparties
are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may
weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial
transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be
creditworthy at the time of the transaction. As of November 30, 2011, the
maximum amount of loss that the Fund would incur if the counterparties to
its derivative transactions failed to perform would be $272,372, which
represents gross payments to be received by the Fund on these derivative
contracts were they to be unwound as of period end. To reduce this risk the
Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the
Funds International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master
agreements, which allow the Fund to net unrealized appreciation and
depreciation for certain positions in swaps, over-the-counter options,
swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual
counterparty. The amount of loss that the Fund would incur taking into
account these master netting arrangements would be $20,700

as of November 30, 2011. 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 International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. 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.
As of November 30, 2011 the Fund has not required certain
counterparties to post collateral.
Credit Related Contingent Features. The Funds agreements with derivative
counterparties have several credit related contingent features that if
triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and
demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the
Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund
and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will
not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These
triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease
in the Funds net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Funds Net
Asset Value or NAV. The contingent features are established within the
Funds International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master
agreements which govern certain positions in swaps, over-the-counter
options and swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each
individual counterparty.
As of November 30, 2011, the aggregate fair value of derivative
instruments with credit related contingent features in a net liability
position was $444,677, for which collateral was not posted by the Fund.
If a contingent feature would have been triggered as of November 30,
2011, the Fund could have been required to pay this amount in cash to
its counterparties.

Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (forward
contracts) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated
rate at a future date.
Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of
Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing
prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange
as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting 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 has purchased and sold certain forward foreign currency
exchange contracts of different currencies in order to acquire currencies to
pay for or sell currencies to acquire related foreign securities purchase and
sale transactions, respectively, or to convert foreign currencies to U.S.
dollars from related foreign securities transactions. These foreign currency
exchange contracts are negotiated at the current spot exchange rate with
settlement typically within two business days thereafter.
The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts
with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future
at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to take a positive
investment perspective on the related currency. These forward foreign
currency exchange contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange
rate risk.
The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts
with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future
at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to decrease exposure to
foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated
securities held by the Fund.
The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts
with the obligation to sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a
currently negotiated forward rate in order to take a negative investment
perspective on the related currency. These forward foreign currency
exchange contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.
The Fund has entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts
with the obligation to sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a
currently negotiated forward rate in order to decrease exposure to foreign
exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities
held by the Fund.
During the six months ended November 30, 2011, the Fund had daily
average contract amounts on forward foreign currency contracts to buy and
sell of $28,740,030 and $18,024,498, respectively.
Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit
risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the
counterparty will default.

6. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of class action, derivative and individual lawsuits have
been pending in federal and state courts against OppenheimerFunds, Inc., the
Funds investment advisor (the Manager), OppenheimerFunds Distributor,
Inc., the Funds principal underwriter and distributor (the Distributor),
and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by the Manager and
distributed by the Distributor (the Defendant Funds). Several of these
lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former
trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under
federal securities laws and various states securities, consumer protection
and common law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents
of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions
and that the respective Defendant Funds investment policies were not
followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable
relief and awards of attorneys fees and litigation expenses. On June 1,
2011, the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado gave preliminary
approval to stipulations and agreements of settlement in certain putative
class action lawsuits involving two Defendant Funds, Oppenheimer Champion
Income Fund and Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund. On September 30, 2011, the court
entered orders and final judgments approving the settlements as fair,
reasonable and adequate. Those orders are not subject to further appeal.
These settlements do not resolve other outstanding lawsuits relating to
Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund and Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, nor do the
settlements affect certain other putative class action lawsuits pending in
federal court against the Manager, the Distributor, and other Defendant Funds
and their independent trustees.
In 2009, what are claimed to be derivative lawsuits were filed in New
Mexico state court against the Manager and a subsidiary (but not against the
Fund) on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust challenging a
settlement reached in 2010 between the Manager, its subsidiary and the
Distributor and the board of the New Mexico section 529 college savings
plan. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty,
negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory
damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys fees and litigation
expenses. On September 9, 2011, the court denied plaintiffs request for a
hearing to determine the fairness of the settlement, finding that plaintiffs
lacked standing to pursue derivative claims on behalf of the Trust. On
October 27, 2011, the parties to these actions filed a joint motion to
dismiss the lawsuits with prejudice, which the court granted on October 28,
2011.
Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008
in various state and federal courts against the Manager and certain of its
affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost
as a result of the Ponzi scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm,
Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (BLMIS). Plaintiffs in these
suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in
several funds managed by an affiliate of the Manager and assert a variety of
claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent
misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state
securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified
damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys fees and litigation
expenses. Neither

6. Pending Litigation Continued
the Distributor, nor any of the
Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named
as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds
invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28,
2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated
putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19,
2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement
as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed
notices of appeal from the courts order approving the settlement. On July
29, 2011, a stipulation of settlement between certain affiliates of the
Manager and the Trustee appointed under the Securities Investor Protection
Act to liquidate BLMIS was filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the
Southern District of New York to resolve purported preference and fraudulent
transfer claims by the Trustee. On September 22, 2011, the court entered an
order approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In October
2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the courts order
approving the settlement. The aforementioned settlements do not resolve other
outstanding lawsuits against the Manager and its affiliates relating to
BLMIS.
On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against
the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark IV Funding Limited
(AAArdvark IV), an entity advised by the Managers affiliate, in connection
with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege
breach of contract against the defendants and seek compensatory damages,
costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit
was filed in New York state court against the Manager, an affiliate of the
Manager and AAArdvark Funding Limited (AAArdvark I), an entity advised by
the Managers affiliate, in connection with investments made by the
plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract against
the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements,
including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York
state court against the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark XS
Funding Limited (AAArdvark XS), an entity advised by the Managers
affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark
XS. The complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and seeks
compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees.
The Manager believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are
without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is
defending against them vigorously. The Defendant Funds Boards of Trustees
have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former
Independent Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render
any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that
the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed
by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the
ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties
to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not
have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual
funds.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the Board), including a majority of
the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the
Funds investment advisory agreement (the Agreement). The Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and
evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be
reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. 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, the Board receives information throughout the
year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager 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 investment performance of the Fund and the
Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative
expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its
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 Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was
aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered
by the Board as well as the Boards 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
portfolio manager and the Managers investment team, who provide research,
analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Funds investments;
securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers;
monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and
adherence to the Funds investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible
for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. 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 Funds operations; preparing and filing reports required by the
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 Funds shares. The
Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
41 | OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND
BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited / Continued
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 Manager has had 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 and
compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the
experience and professional qualifications of the Managers key personnel
and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of
the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the
experience of Alessio de Longis, the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the
Managers investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered
the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees
of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered
information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the
Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection
with the renewal of the Funds service agreements. The Board concluded, in
light of the Managers experience, reputation, personnel, operations and
resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the
Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the
year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the
Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The
Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the
independent consultant, comparing the Funds historical performance to
relevant market indices and to the performance of other retail front-end
load and no-load currency funds. The Board considered that the Fund
outperformed its performance universe median during the period since the
Funds inception.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to
the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. 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 Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in
regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other retail front-end load
currency funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. The
Board considered that the Funds actual management fees and total expenses
were lower than its expense group median. The Board also considered that the
Manager has agreed to voluntarily limit the total annual operating expenses
for all classes of shares of the Fund so that total expenses, as percentage
of average daily net assets, will not exceed the following annual rates:
1.10% for Class A Shares; 1.85% for Class C Shares; 1.35% for Class N
Shares; and 0.85% for Class Y Shares. This waiver and/or reimbursement may
not be amended or withdrawn until one year after the date of the prospectus.
42 | OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board
considered information regarding the Managers expected costs in serving as
the Funds investment adviser, including the costs associated with the
personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding
the Managers profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board
reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and
supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management
fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies
of scale that may exist as the Funds assets grow.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits
that may be realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that
was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager may
receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation
paid to the Managers affiliates and research that may be provided to the
Manager in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar
arrangements). The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay
and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide
quality services to the Fund.
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 Manager 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, approved the Agreement through August 31, 2012. In arriving at
this decision, the Board did not single out 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 Agreement, including the
management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

HouseholdingDelivery 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 funds prospectus (or, if
available, the funds 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.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Funds
investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are
categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting
standards:

|
Level 1unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a
securities exchange) |
|
|
2) |
|
Level 2inputs 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 3significant unobservable inputs (including the
Managers own judgments about assumptions that market participants
would use in pricing the asset or liability). |

appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change
in the contracts value from trade date. Futures, if any, are reported at
their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due
to/from the Fund at that date. All additional assets and liabilities
included in the above table are reported at their market value at
measurement date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Currency Opportunities Fund (Cayman) Ltd. (the Fund) is
organized as a Cayman Islands Company Limited by Shares. The Fund invests
primarily in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity futures,
financial futures, options and swap contracts) and exchange-traded funds
related to gold or other special minerals. The Fund may also invest in
certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as
margin or collateral for its derivatives positions. The Funds investment
adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager). The Sub-Adviser is
Oppenheimer Real Asset Management, Inc. (ORAMI or the Sub-Adviser), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager. As of November 30, 2011, 100% of the
Fund was owned by Oppenheimer Currency Opportunities Fund (OCOF). The
Manager is also the investment adviser of OCOF. The Fund commenced operations
on November 2, 2011.
The beneficial interest of each investor in the Fund is represented
by units of participating shares. The Funds directors may further
designate classes of participating shares and series within each class. As
of November 30, 2011, the directors have not designated classes or series
of outstanding participating shares. During the period ended November 30,
2011, all income, profits, losses and expenses, if any, of the Fund were
allocated pro rata to all participating shares of the Fund. Issuance of
additional participating shares is at the discretion of the Funds
directors.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies
consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares
as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the Exchange), normally
4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
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. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical
securities are classified as Level 1, observable market inputs other
than unadjusted quoted prices are classified as Level 2 and significant
unobservable inputs, including the Managers judgment about the
assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or
liability, are classified as Level 3. The inputs used for valuing
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with
investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Funds investments
under these levels of classification is included following the Statement
of Investments.
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when
available, as supplied primarily by portfolio pricing services approved by
the Board of Directors or dealers.
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are
valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the
principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the
Funds assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ®
are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior
to the time when the Funds assets are valued. In the absence of a sale,
the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day,
if it is within the spread of the current days closing bid and asked
prices, and if not, at the current days closing bid price. A foreign
51 | OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND
OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND (CAYMAN) LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
security traded
on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the
principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the
portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the
Funds assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued
at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which
it is traded.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on
an exchange are valued at that investment companys net asset value
per share.
U.S. domestic and international debt instruments (including
corporate, government, municipal, mortgage-backed, collateralized
mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities) and money market-type
debt instruments with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are
valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing price
quotations obtained from independent pricing services or broker-dealers.
Such prices are typically determined based upon information obtained from
market participants including reported trade data, broker-dealer price
quotations and inputs such as benchmark yields and issuer spreads from
identical or similar securities.
Money market-type debt instruments with remaining maturities of
sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of
discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates
market value.
In the absence of a current price quotation obtained from an
independent pricing service or broker-dealer, including for securities
whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies
as a significant event occurring before the Funds assets are valued but
after the close of the securities respective exchanges, the Manager,
acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines
the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures
under the supervision of the Board of Directors (which reviews those fair
valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized
methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but
are not limited to, pricing securities 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 adjusted for any discounts related to
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.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation
methodologies of the Fund during the period.
Income Taxes. The Fund has received an undertaking from the Government of
the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital
gains taxes through September of 2030. No such taxes are levied in the
Cayman Islands at the present time. The Fund is a Controlled Foreign
Corporation under U.S. tax laws and as such is not
subject to U.S. income tax. Therefore, the Fund is not required to record a
tax provision.
52 | OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and
distributions to shareholders, if any, are declared and paid annually from
the Funds tax basis earnings and profits. Distributions are recorded on
ex-dividend date.
The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Funds
fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Funds distribution made to
shareholders prior to the Funds fiscal year end may ultimately be
categorized as a tax return of capital.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or
upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where
the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in
dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the
securities received. Interest income 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.
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 Funds 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 Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is
unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against
the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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.
2. Capital Transactions
The Fund has authorized 5,000,000 participating shares of $0.01 par value
per share. The Fund issued 10,000 participating shares for $1,200,000 on
November 2, 2011 in conjunction with OCOFs initial capitalization of the
Fund.

5. Pending Litigation
Since 2009, a number of class action, derivative and individual lawsuits have
been pending in federal and state courts against OppenheimerFunds, Inc., the
Funds investment advisor (the Manager), OppenheimerFunds Distributor,
Inc., the Funds principal underwriter and
54 | OPPENHEIMER CURRENCY OPPORTUNITIES FUND
distributor (the Distributor), and certain funds (but not including
the Fund) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (the
Defendant Funds). Several of these lawsuits also name as defendants
certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant
Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities laws and various
states securities, consumer protection and common law and allege, among
other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant
Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective
Defendant Funds investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in
these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of
attorneys fees and litigation expenses. On June 1, 2011, the U.S. District
Court for the District of Colorado gave preliminary approval to stipulations
and agreements of settlement in certain putative class action lawsuits
involving two Defendant Funds, Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund and
Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund. On September 30, 2011, the court entered orders
and final judgments approving the settlements as fair, reasonable and adequate.
Those orders are not subject to further appeal. These settlements do not
resolve other outstanding lawsuits relating to Oppenheimer Champion Income
Fund and Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, nor do the settlements affect certain
other putative class action lawsuits pending in federal court against the
Manager, the Distributor, and other Defendant Funds and their independent
trustees.
In 2009, what are claimed to be derivative lawsuits were filed in New Mexico state court
against the Manager and a subsidiary (but not against the Fund) on behalf of the New Mexico
Education Plan Trust challenging a settlement reached in 2010 between the Manager, its
subsidiary and the Distributor and the board of the New Mexico section 529 college savings
plan. These lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and
violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an
award of attorneys fees and litigation expenses. On September 9, 2011, the court denied
plaintiffs request for a hearing to determine the fairness of the settlement, finding that
plaintiffs lacked standing to pursue derivative claims on behalf of the Trust. On October 27,
2011, the parties to these actions filed a joint motion to dismiss the lawsuits with prejudice,
which the court granted on October 28, 2011.
Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008
in various state and federal courts against the Manager and certain of its
affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost
as a result of the Ponzi scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm,
Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (BLMIS). Plaintiffs in
these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their
investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of the Manager and
assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud,
negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal
and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek
unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys fees and
litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer
mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as
defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds
invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February
28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of
consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was
filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

5. Pending Litigation Continued
On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment
approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011,
certain parties filed notices of appeal from the courts order approving the
settlement. On July 29, 2011, a stipulation of settlement between certain
affiliates of the Manager and the Trustee appointed under the Securities
Investor Protection Act to liquidate BLMIS was filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the Southern District of New York to resolve purported preference
and fraudulent transfer claims by the Trustee. On September 22, 2011, the
court entered an order approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and
adequate. In October 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the
courts order approving the settlement. The aforementioned settlements do not
resolve other outstanding lawsuits against the Manager and its affiliates
relating to BLMIS.
On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court
against the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark IV Funding
Limited (AAArdvark IV), an entity advised by the Managers affiliate, in
connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV.
Plaintiffs allege breach of contract against the defendants and seek
compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On
July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against the
Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark Funding Limited
(AAArdvark I), an entity advised by the Managers affiliate, in
connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The
complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and seeks
compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On
November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against the
Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited
(AAArdvark XS), an entity advised by the Managers affiliate, in
connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The
complaint alleges breach of contract against the defendants and seeks
compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees.
The Manager believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are
without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is
defending against them vigorously. The Defendant Funds Boards of Trustees
have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and
former Independent Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to
render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any
costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not
be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should
not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their
respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits
together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of
the Oppenheimer mutual funds.
6. Subsequent Events Evaluation
The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting
from subsequent events through January 16, 2012, the date the financial
statements were available to be issued. This evaluation
determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures
and/or adjustments.

The Funds Governance Committee Provisions with Respect to Nominations of Directors/Trustees to the
Respective Boards
1. |
|
The Funds Governance Committee (the Committee) will evaluate potential Board candidates to
assess their qualifications. The Committee shall have the authority, upon approval of the
Board, to retain an executive search firm to assist in this effort. The Committee may
consider recommendations by business and personal contacts of current Board members and by
executive search firms which the Committee may engage from time to time and may also consider
shareholder recommendations. The Committee may consider the advice and recommendation of the
Funds investment manager and its affiliates in making the selection. |
|
2. |
|
The Committee shall screen candidates for Board membership. The Committee has not
established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by a trustee nominee. In
evaluating trustee nominees, the Committee considers, among other things, an individuals
background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an interested person as
defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; and whether the individual would be deemed an
audit committee financial expert within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. The Committee
also considers whether the individuals background, skills, and experience will complement the
background, skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the Board. There
are no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates nominees for trustees based
on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder. |

3. |
|
The Committee may consider nominations from shareholders for the Board at such times as the
Committee meets to consider new nominees for the Board. The Committee shall have the sole
discretion to determine the candidates to present to the Board and, in such cases where
required, to shareholders. Recommendations for trustee nominees should, at a minimum, be
accompanied by the following: |
|
|
|
the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the
person being recommended; |
|
|
|
|
a statement concerning whether the person is an interested person as defined in the
Investment Company Act of 1940; |
|
|
|
|
any other information that the Funds would be required to include in a proxy statement
concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and |
|
|
|
|
the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and, if that person is
a shareholder, the period for which that person held Fund shares. |
|
|
The recommendation also can include any additional information which the person submitting it
believes would assist the Committee in evaluating the recommendation. |
4. |
|
Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Massachusetts Mutual
Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the Funds investment adviser) would be deemed
an interested person under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, certain other
relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with
registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds outside legal counsel may cause a person to be
deemed an interested person. |
|
5. |
|
Before the Committee decides to nominate an individual as a trustee, Committee members and
other directors customarily interview the individual in person. In addition, the individual
customarily is asked to complete a detailed questionnaire which is designed to elicit
information which must be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine
whether the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving as a trustee
of a registered investment company. |
Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
Based on their evaluation of the registrants disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in

registrants principal executive officer and principal financial officer found the registrants
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 registrants 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 registrants internal controls over financial reporting that
occurred during the registrants second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that
have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrants internal
control over financial reporting.
