Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) produced a return of 3.16% during the reporting period. On a relative basis, the Fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Index”), which returned 4.26%. The Fund’s underperformance stemmed primarily from stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector. The Fund outperformed the Index in the health care sector, due to both an overweight position in this top-performing sector and stock selection.

MARKET OVERVIEW

In 2014, growth in the U.S. continued at a higher pace than any other developed economy and employment gains remained positive. Growth in the rest of the world was subdued, however, with major developed economies like the Eurozone and Japan continuing to disappoint due to weak aggregate demand. The biggest surprise of the reporting period and possibly all of 2014 was the precipitous fall in the price of crude oil. Weak demand amid tepid global growth was responsible for part of the drop, but significantly, the U.S. energy revolution is increasingly helping to insulate global and

domestic energy supplies from shocks in the Middle East and elsewhere.

The start of 2015 was marked by cooling U.S. growth after the positive results in 2014. The dollar continued to strengthen significantly during this time against most of the U.S.’s major trading partners, which acted as a drag on growth. Businesses, especially U.S. firms with revenues dependent on exporting goods and services, cited this as a headwind. European Central Bank (“ECB”) President Mario Draghi announced the purchase of €60 billion a month in sovereign bonds from

Eurozone countries for at least 19 months, a form of quantitative easing (“QE”) that is projected to increase the ECB’s balance sheet by over €1 trillion. The announcement and implementation of these extraordinary monetary policies had a significant impact on financial markets, with European markets rallying and the euro falling against most major trading partners. The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) appeared to remain on track to raise U.S. rates during 2015, but made it clear that it will remain flexible on the timing and extent of rate hikes. In the closing months of the reporting period, concerns re-emerged around Greece’s debt situation and the possibility that the country would exit from the Eurozone. However, Eurozone leaders agreed to offer Greece a third bailout, averting a Greek exit for the time being. Fears around slowing growth in China also spooked investors. As a result, equity markets fell sharply in August of 2015.

FUND REVIEW

Top performing holdings for the Fund this reporting period included information technology stock Apple, Inc., along with health care stocks Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, Inc., and Allergan plc. Apple continued to perform well as the continued success of the iPhone 6, excitement surrounding the introduction of the new Apple Watch, and an increased dividend and buyback program resulted in strong performance. Valeant Pharmaceuticals is a specialty pharmaceutical company whose shares rallied after acquiring gastrointestinal drug maker Salix Pharmaceuticals Ltd. in an

all cash deal. During the reporting period, specialty pharmaceutical company Actavis plc, with exposure to both generic and branded drugs, continued to augment its growth potential with the closure of its acquisition of Allergan. Actavis was re-named Allergan during the reporting period.

Detractors from performance included information technology stocks LinkedIn Corp. and PayPal Holdings, Inc., along with consumer discretionary stock TripAdvisor, Inc. LinkedIn, the largest professional networking website, had a weak second quarter of 2015. The company provided a disappointing second quarter outlook, which it attributed partly to changes in currency exchange rates and costs of its pending acquisition of Lynda.com. TripAdvisor, a travel website operator, issued disappointing earnings results in late 2014. During that time, TripAdvisor management announced that cost and expenses, particularly those associated with sales and marketing, were up substantially, which ate into the firm’s profits. After being spun-off from eBay, Inc., PayPal had its initial public offering in July 2015. As shareholders of eBay at the time of the spin-off, the Fund received shares in the newly public PayPal. Market volatility picked up in August amid concerns surrounding China, which negatively impacted the performance of PayPal and equities in general.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

Uncertainty about the Eurozone crisis, the uncertainty over when the Fed will raise interest rates, and the risk of deceleration in

4 OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND

China, continue to weigh on the global economy. Although the U.S. economy has remained resilient, it continues to grow at a below normal expansionary pace. The U.S. economy’s resilience has been supported by strong productivity gains, low structural energy costs and a relatively attractive currency. Looking forward, we expect the U.S. economy to retain many of these tailwinds and for the markets to reward differentiated valuations to those companies demonstrating consistent quality, growth and innovation. We believe that companies with capital discipline, strong management and sustainable competitive advantages have the greatest prospects for outperformance over time.

*Shows performance since inception.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and the applicable sales charge: for Class A shares, the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%; for Class B shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year); and for Class C shares, the contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) of 1% for the 1-year period. Prior to 7/1/14, Class R shares were named Class N shares. Beginning 7/1/14, new purchases of Class R shares will no longer be subject to a CDSC upon redemption (any CDSC will remain in effect for purchases prior to 7/1/14). There is no sales charge for Class I and Class Y shares. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B shares uses Class A performance for the period after conversion.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index, an index of large-capitalization equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market, and the Russell 1000 Growth Index, which measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. The indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the indices. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is

shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

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

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

Fund Expenses

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

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended August 31, 2015.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During 6 Months Ended August 31, 2015” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

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

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

Class R		1,000.00		1,018.65		6.64
Class Y		1,000.00		1,021.12		4.13

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended August 31, 2015 are as follows:


Class	Expense Ratios
Class A		1.04	%
Class B		1.80
Class C		1.80
Class I		0.62
Class R		1.30
Class Y		0.81

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS August 31, 2015

1. Organization

Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund (the “Fund”) is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI.

The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class Y shares, and previously offered Class B shares for new purchase through June 29, 2012. Subsequent to that date, no new purchases of Class B shares are permitted, however reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds will be allowed. As of July 1, 2014, Class N shares were renamed Class R shares. Class N shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) on July 1, 2014, continue to be subject to a CDSC after the shares were renamed. Purchases of Class R shares occurring on or after July 1, 2014, are not subject to a CDSC upon redemption. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class C and Class R shares are sold, and Class B shares were sold, without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class R shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class R shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class 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, B, 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. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.

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

2. Significant Accounting Policies

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

Reporting Period End Date. The last day of the Fund’s reporting period is the last day the New York Stock Exchange was open for trading during the period. The Fund’s financial statements have been presented through that date to maintain consistency with the Fund’s net asset value calculations used for shareholder transactions.

25 OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for 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 Fund’s 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 Fund’s 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. 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.

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

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

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

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

The 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.


Undistributed Net Investment Income	Undistributed Long-Term Gain		Accumulated Loss Carryforward		Net Unrealized Appreciation Based on cost of Securities and Other Investments for Federal Income Tax Purposes

$29,797,150		$609,743,764		$—		$966,431,127

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 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 GAAP. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for the reporting period. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.


Increase to Paid-in Capital	Reduction to Accumulated Net Investment Loss		Reduction to Accumulated Net Realized Gain on Investments¹

$41,850,180		$5,214,581		$47,064,761

1. $51,077,608, including $48,697,827 of long-term capital gain, was distributed in connection with Fund share redemptions.

The tax character of distributions paid during the reporting periods:


	Year Ended August 31, 2015		Year Ended August 31, 2014

Distributions paid from:
Ordinary income	$	132,505,578	$	6,326,417
Long-term capital gain		615,341,817		216,333,350

Total	$	747,847,395	$	222,659,767

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes at period end are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.


Federal tax cost of securities	$	4,152,573,658

Gross unrealized appreciation	$	1,123,730,578
Gross unrealized depreciation		(157,299,451	)

Net unrealized appreciation	$	966,431,127

Use of Estimates. 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.

3. 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.

28 OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at 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 Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. 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 Fund’s 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) using 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 company’s 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 (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.

29 OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND

3. Securities Valuation (Continued)

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 Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s 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 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 Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

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

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

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

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

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


	Level 1— Unadjusted Quoted Prices		Level 2— Other Significant Observable Inputs		Level 3— Significant Unobservable Inputs		Value

All additional assets and liabilities included in the above table are reported at their market value at measurement date.

4. Investments and Risks

Investments in Affiliated Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in other mutual funds advised by the Manager (“Affiliated Funds”). Affiliated Funds are open-end management investment companies registered under the 1940 Act, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services

31 OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND

4. Investments and Risks (Continued)

to, the Affiliated Funds. When applicable, the Fund’s investments in Affiliated Funds are included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of Affiliated Funds are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Affiliated Funds’ expenses, including their management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in the Affiliated Funds.

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

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in a money market Affiliated 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 or for defensive purposes. IMMF is regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s 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 company’s 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 company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

5. Shares of Beneficial Interest

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

7. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:


Fee Schedule

Up to $200 million		0.75%
Next $200 million		0.72
Next $200 million		0.69
Next $200 million		0.66
Next $700 million		0.60
Next $1 billion		0.58
Next $2 billion		0.56
Next $2 billion		0.54
Next $2 billion		0.52
Next $2.5 billion		0.50
Over $11 billion		0.48

The Fund’s effective management fee for the reporting period was 0.59% of average annual net assets before any applicable waivers.

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

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

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

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

34 OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

7. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the reporting period, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired Trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:


Projected Benefit Obligations Increased	$	—
Payments Made to Retired Trustees		106,306
Accumulated Liability as of August 31, 2015		842,467

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

Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s classes of shares.

Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the “Plan”) for Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class R Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class B, 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 B and 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 Fund’s Board of Trustees votes annually to approve their continuance at an in person meeting called for that purpose. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

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

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $55,538 for IMMF management fees.

Waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or terminated as set forth according to the terms in the prospectus.

8. Borrowings and Other Financing

Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.28 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund did not utilize the Facility during the period.

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 against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (“OFDI”), and Oppenheimer Rochester California Municipal Fund, a fund advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “California Fund”), in connection with the California Fund’s investment performance. 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. Plaintiffs in the suit filed an amended complaint and defendants filed a motion to dismiss. In 2011, the court issued an order which granted in part and denied in part the defendants’ motion to dismiss. In 2012, plaintiffs filed a motion, which defendants opposed, to certify a class and appoint class representatives and class counsel. In March 2015, the

36 OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

9. Pending Litigation (Continued)

court granted plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. In May 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit vacated the class certification order and remanded the matter to the district court for further proceedings. In July 2015, the district court held an evidentiary hearing on plaintiffs’ motion for class certification.

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 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 ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund, including the statement of investments, as of August 31, 2015, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund as of August 31, 2015, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited

In early 2015, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2014.

Capital gain distributions of $7.86595 per share were paid to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class Y shareholders, respectively, on December 9, 2014. Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of the capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains).

Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the reporting period which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 100% 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 $49,068,886 of the Fund’s fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2015, 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 maximum amount allowable but not less than $32,824,805 of the short-term capital gain distribution to be paid by the Fund qualifies as a short-term capital gain dividend.

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.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents

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

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

Disclosure of Information

Internet Security and Encryption

In general, the email services provided by our website are encrypted and provide a secure and private means of communication with us. To protect your own privacy, confidential and/or personal information should only be communicated via email when you are advised that you are using a secure website. As a security measure, we do not include personal or account information in non-secure emails, and we advise you not to send such information to us in non-secure emails. Instead, you may take advantage of the secure features of our website to encrypt your email correspondence. To do this, you will need to use a browser that supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

We do not guarantee or warrant that any part of our website, including files available for download, are free of viruses or other harmful code. It is your responsibility to take appropriate precautions, such as use of an anti-virus software package, to protect your computer hardware and software.

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

Other Security Measures

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

How You Can Help
