Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677).

The Funds performance is compared to the performance of the S&P Global Infrastructure Index and the MSCI World Index. The S&P Global Infrastructure Index is designed to track 75 companies from around the world chosen to represent the listed infrastructure industry while maintaining liquidity and tradability. To create diversified exposure, the index includes three distinct infrastructure clusters: energy, transportation, and utilities. The MSCI World Index is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets. The Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Funds performance, it must be noted that the Funds 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 Funds performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Funds performance reflects the effects of the Funds business and operating expenses.

The Funds investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.
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.
Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses. 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 for Actual Expenses are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period, May 26, 2016 (commencement of operations) and held for the period ended October 31, 2016.
The Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested on May 1, 2016 and held for the entire 6-month period ended October 31, 2016.
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). 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.

1. Actual expenses paid are equal to the Funds annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 159/366 to reflect the period from May 26, 2016 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2016.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS October 31, 2016
1. Organization
Oppenheimer Macquarie Global Infrastructure Fund (the Fund) is a non-diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (1940 Act), as amended. The Funds investment objective is to seek total return. The Funds investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (OFI Global or the Manager), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (OFI or the Sub-Adviser). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. The Sub-Adviser has entered into a sub-sub-advisory agreement with Macquarie Capital Investment Management LLC (the Sub-Sub-Adviser). The Fund commenced operations on May 26, 2016.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R 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 R shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC). Class R shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class R shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class I and 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 I and Class Y shares. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, C and R shares have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and Class Y shares do not pay such fees.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Funds 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 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 New York Stock Exchange (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
24 OPPENHEIMER MACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
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.
Return of Capital Estimates. Distributions received from the Funds investments in Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and Real Estate Investments Trusts (REITs), generally are comprised of income and return of capital. The Fund records investment income and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on historical information available from each MLP, REIT and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from MLPs and REITs after their tax reporting periods are concluded.
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
25 OPPENHEIMER MACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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.
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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Funds financial statements.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. During the reporting period, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Also, due

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for the reporting period. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
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 Funds Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Funds securities and has
27 OPPENHEIMER MACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
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 Committees fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Funds Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.
Valuation Methods and Inputs
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.
The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) 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. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price on the principal exchange or, if not available from the principal exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority): (1) a bid from the principal exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Funds assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority): (1) a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment companys net asset value per share.
Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.
Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity
28 OPPENHEIMER MACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
(amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.
Security Type | Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors | |
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities | Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors. | |
Loans | Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations. | |
Event-linked bonds | Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations. |
If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the good faith opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a readily available market quotation, or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is 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 Funds Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Managers 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. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Funds Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized 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, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
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 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:
1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Managers 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 are measured using net asset value as a practical expedient, and are not classified in the fair value hierarchy.
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Funds Statement of Assets and Liabilities at period end based on valuation input level:

table are reported at their market value at measurement date.
4. Investments and Risks
Risks of Foreign Investing. The Fund may invest in foreign securities which are subject to special risks. Securities traded in foreign markets may be less liquid and more volatile than those traded in U.S. markets. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult for the Fund to evaluate a foreign companys operations or financial condition. A change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of investments denominated in that foreign currency and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those investments. The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in the settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the United States or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a companys assets, or other political and economic factors. In addition, due to the inter-relationship of global economies and financial markets, changes in political and economic factors in one country or region could adversely affect conditions in another country or region. Investments in foreign securities may also expose the Fund to time-zone arbitrage risk. Foreign securities may trade on weekends or other days when the Fund does not price its shares. At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular country or region and may be subject to greater risks from adverse events that occur in that country or region. Foreign securities and foreign currencies held in foreign banks and securities depositories may be subject to limited or no regulatory oversight.
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 Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds investments and therefore the value of the Funds 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
31 OPPENHEIMER MACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
4. Investments and Risks (Continued)
Institutional Government Money Market Fund (IGMMF), formerly known as Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, 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.
Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs). MLPs issue common units that represent an equity ownership interest in a partnership and provide limited voting rights. MLP common units are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and are freely tradable on securities exchanges such as the NYSE and the NASDAQ Stock Market (NASDAQ), or in the over-the-counter (OTC) market. An MLP consists of one or more general partners, who conduct the business, and one or more limited partners, who contribute capital. MLP common unit holders have a limited role in the partnerships operations and management. The Fund, as a limited partner, normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amounts the Fund has contributed, but would not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner. This right of an MLPs creditors would continue after the Fund sold its investment in the MLP.
Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Funds portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular companys securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the companys sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.
Shareholder Concentration. At period end, one shareholder owned 20% or more of the Funds total outstanding shares.
The shareholder is a related party of the Fund. Related parties may include, but are not limited to, the investment manager and its affiliates, affiliated broker dealers, fund of funds, and directors or employees. Related parties owned 89% of the Funds total outstanding shares at period end.
5. Market Risk Factors
The Funds 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
32 OPPENHEIMER MACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)
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 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.

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.
Sub-Sub-Adviser Fees. The Sub-Adviser retains the Sub-Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser pays the Sub-Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee paid to the Sub-Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Sub-Advisory agreement is paid by the Sub-Adviser, not by the Fund.

Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.
Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the Sub-Transfer Agent), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund.

Offering and Organizational Costs. The Manager paid all initial offering and organizational costs associated with the registration and seeding of the Fund.
Trustees Compensation. The Funds Board of Trustees (Board) has adopted a compensation deferral plan for Independent Trustees that enables Trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustees under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund
35 OPPENHEIMER MACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
8. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)
or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees 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.
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 pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class C and Class R Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the Plans) for Class C and Class R shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act to compensate the Distributor for distributing those share classes, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class C shares daily net assets and 0.25% on Class R shares daily net assets. The Fund also pays a service fee under the Plans at an annual rate of 0.25% of daily net assets. The Plans continue in effect from year to year only if the Funds Board of Trustees votes annually to approve their continuance at an in person meeting called for that purpose. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and CDSC do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period indicated.

Waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or terminated as set forth according to the terms in the prospectus.
9. Pending Litigation
In 2009, several putative class action lawsuits were filed and later consolidated before the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado in connection with the investment performance of Oppenheimer Rochester California Municipal Fund (the California Fund), a fund advised by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (OFI) and distributed by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (OFDI). The plaintiffs asserted claims against OFI, OFDI and certain present and former trustees and officers of the California Fund under the federal securities laws, alleging, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the California Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions and the investment policies of the California Fund were not followed. An amended complaint and a motion to dismiss were filed, and in 2011, the court issued an order which granted in part and denied in part the defendants motion to dismiss. In October 2015, following a successful appeal by defendants and a subsequent hearing, the court granted plaintiffs motion for class certification and appointed class representatives and class counsel.
OFI and OFDI believe the suit is without merit; that it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome unfavorable to them in the suit; and that no estimate can yet be made as to the amount or range of any potential loss. Furthermore, OFI believes that the

9. Pending Litigation (Continued)
suit should not impair the ability of OFI or OFDI to perform their respective duties to the Fund and that the outcome of the suit should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Macquarie Global Infrastructure Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Macquarie Global Infrastructure Fund, including the statement of investments, as of October 31, 2016, and the related statement of operations, the statement of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the period from May 26, 2016 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2016. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2016, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Macquarie Global Infrastructure Fund as of October 31, 2016, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for the period from May 26, 2016 (commencement of operations) to October 31, 2016, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2016, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2015.
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 19.40% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $122,828 of the Funds fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2016, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.
Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the reporting period, the maximum amount allowable but not less than $712 of the ordinary distributions to be paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend and the maximum amount allowable but not less than $71,740 of the short-term capital gain distribution to be paid by the Fund qualifies as a short-term capital gain dividend.
The Fund has elected the application of Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code to permit shareholders to take a federal income tax credit or deduction, at their option, on a per share basis. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $10,855 of foreign income taxes were paid by the Fund during the reporting period. A separate notice will be mailed to each shareholder, which will reflect the proportionate share of such foreign taxes which must be treated by shareholders as gross income for federal income tax purposes.
Gross income of the maximum amount allowable but not less than $82,559 was derived from sources within foreign countries or possessions of the United States.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS INVESTMENT ADVISORY, SUB-ADVISORY
AND SUB-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 has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund, and OFI has entered into a sub-sub-advisory agreement with Macquarie Capital Investment Management LLC (MCIM) whereby MCIM provides investment sub-sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, all the investment advisory agreements are referred to as the Agreements, OFI Global and OFI are referred to as the Managers and MCIM is referred to as the Sub-Sub-Adviser). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers and Sub-Sub-Adviser provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board received information regarding the proposed services, fees, and expenses of the Fund.
The Managers and Sub-Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board and the Board referred to information provided in connection with its most recent consideration and approval of the Advisory, Sub-Advisory and Sub-Sub-Advisory agreements for annual renewal purposes, including: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers and Sub-Sub-Advisers proposed services, (ii) the proposed fees and projected expenses of the Fund, including estimated and comparative fee and expense information, (iii) the profitability of the Managers, their affiliates, and the Sub-Sub-Adviser, (iv) whether economies of scale are expected to be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors, and (v) other benefits that are expected to accrue to the Managers and Sub-Sub-Adviser from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers and Sub-Sub-Adviser.
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 to be provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers and the Sub-Sub-Advisers key personnel who will provide such services. The Sub-Sub-Advisers duties will include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Sub-Sub-Advisers investment team, who will provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Funds investments and securities trading services. The Managers will be responsible for oversight of other third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Funds investment restrictions; risk management; and oversight of the Sub-Adviser. The Managers will also be responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund. Those services will 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 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

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUNDS INVESTMENT ADVISORY, SUB-ADVISORY
AND SUB-SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited / Continued
federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Funds shares. The Managers will also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services expected to be provided and the quality of the Managers and Sub-Sub-Advisers 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, 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 to be provided, the Board considered the experience of Brad Frishberg, Anthony Felton and Jonathon Ong, the proposed portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Sub-Sub-Advisers 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 to be provided by affiliates of the Managers, which the Board members have become knowledgeable about through their experiences with the Managers. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers and Sub-Sub-Advisers experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund should benefit from the services to be provided under the Agreements.
Fees and Expenses of the Fund. The Board reviewed the fees to be paid to the Managers and Sub-Sub-Adviser and the other expenses that will be borne by the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser, not the Fund, pays the Sub-Advisers fee under the sub-advisory agreement, and the Sub-Adviser pays the Sub-Sub-Advisers fees under the sub-sub-advisory agreement. The Board also considered how the Funds expenses will compare to a group of similar, unaffiliated funds (expense peer group). After discussions with the Board, the Adviser has agreed to contractually waive fees and/or reimburse the Fund so that the total annual fund operating expenses, excluding certain expenses, as a percentage of average daily net assets will not exceed the following annual rates: 1.35% for Class A shares, 2.15% for Class C shares, 1.00% for Class I shares, 1.65% for Class R shares and 1.10% for Class Y shares. This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or terminated for one year from the date of the prospectus, unless approved by the Board. The Board noted that the expenses the Fund will bear were competitive with those of its expense peer group.
Performance. The Board considered that the Fund had no operational history and that its performance could not be a factor in deciding whether to approve the Agreements.
Economies of Scale and Profits To Be Realized by the Managers and the Sub-Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information regarding the Managers and Sub-Sub-Advisers anticipated costs in serving as the Funds investment adviser, sub-adviser and sub-sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers and Sub-Sub-Advisers profitability from their relationship with the Fund. The Board also considered that the Managers and Sub-Sub-Adviser must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund. The Board reviewed
42 OPPENHEIMER MACQUARIE GLOBAL INFRASTRUCTURE FUND
whether the Managers and Sub-Sub-Adviser may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that it is proposed that the Fund will have 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 Managers and Sub-Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers and Sub-Sub-Adviser may receive as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers affiliates and research provided to the Adviser and Sub-Sub-Adviser in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements).
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees counsel are independent of the Managers and Sub-Sub-Adviser within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to approve the Agreements for an initial two-year period. 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.

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.

MANAGEMENT, INC. AND OFI STEELPATH, INC.

(OFI), OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (OFI Global) , OFI SteelPath, Inc. (OFI SteelPath) or one of OFIs 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 OFIs and each Funds 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 Funds 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 OFIs 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.
POLICY DETAILS:
A. | POLICY STATEMENT |
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.
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 funds 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 Officers 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 Officers fiduciary relationship to the Funds, if the benefit was derived from such Covered Officers 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 Officers 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 |
Each Covered Officer shall:
| Certify that he or she has received, read and understands his or her obligations under the Executive Code (upon becoming subject to the Executive Code and annually thereafter); and |
| At least annually, all Covered Officers shall certify that they have compiled with the requirements of the Executive Code and that they have disclosed or reported violations of the Executive Code to the Chief Compliance Officer; and |
| Promptly report to the Chief Compliance Officer of the Funds or the General Counsel if he or she becomes aware of any actual or perceived conflict of interest. |
The Compliance Department shall:
| Maintain the current list of Covered Officers; |
| Furnish each Covered Officer with this Executive Code when such individual becomes subject to the Executive Code and annually thereafter; |
| Periodically inform each Covered Officer of his or her duties and obligations under this Executive Code; |
| Provide Fund Treasury with information with respect to amendments to, or waivers of, this Executive Code; |
| Provide the Boards with a quarterly report setting forth: |
○ | A description of any report submitted by a Covered Officer of a conflict of interest or perceived conflict of interest and the disposition thereof; |
○ | A description of any request for a waiver from the Executive Code and the disposition thereof; |
○ | Any violation of the Executive Code that has been reported or detected and the sanction imposed; |
○ | Any other significant information arising under the Executive Code. |
Fund Treasury shall ensure that the applicable Form N-CSR:
| 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.
