ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks a high level of current income by investing mainly in debt instruments.

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? The Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in investment-grade debt securities, U.S.
government securities and money market instruments, under normal market conditions. Those investment-grade debt securities can
include:

o        domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations,
o        domestic and foreign government bonds,
o        mortgage-related securities (including collateralized mortgage obligations ("CMOs")) issued by private issuers, and
o        other debt obligations.

         In general, these debt securities are referred to as "bonds." The Fund's investments in U.S. government securities include
securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or federally-chartered corporate entities referred to as
"instrumentalities." These include mortgage-related U.S. government securities and CMOs.

         There is no set allocation of the Fund's assets among the classes of securities the Fund buys to meet the 65%
investment-grade securities requirement, but currently the Fund focuses mainly on U.S. government securities and investment-grade
debt securities. However, if market conditions change, the Fund's portfolio managers might change the relative allocation of the
Fund's assets.  Effective July 31, 2002, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings) in debt securities.

         The Fund has no limitations on the range of maturities of the debt securities in which it can invest and therefore may hold
bonds with short-, medium- or long-term maturities. The Fund can invest up to 35% of its total assets in high-yield debt securities
that are below investment grade (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). These investments are more fully explained in "About the
Fund's Investments," below.

HOW DO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In selecting securities for the Fund, the Fund's portfolio
managers analyze the overall investment opportunities and risks in different sectors of the debt securities markets by focusing on
business cycle analysis and relative values between the corporate and government sectors. The portfolio managers' overall strategy is
to build a broadly diversified portfolio of corporate and government bonds. The portfolio managers currently focus on the factors
below (which may vary in particular cases and may change over time), looking for:

o        Debt securities in market sectors that offer attractive relative value,
o        Investment-grade securities that offer more income than U.S. treasury obligations with a good balance of risk and return,
o        High income potential from different types of corporate and government securities, and
o        Broad portfolio diversification to help reduce the volatility of the Fund's share prices.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed for investors seeking high current income from a fund that invests primarily in
investment-grade debt securities but which can also hold high-yield debt securities below investment grade to seek higher income.
Those investors should be willing to assume the credit risks of a fund that typically invests a significant amount of its assets in
corporate-debt securities, and the changes in share prices that can occur when interest rates change. The Fund is intended as a
long-term investment, not a short-term trading vehicle, and may be appropriate for a part of an investor's retirement plan portfolio.
The Fund is not a complete investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have risks to some degree. The Fund's investments are subject to changes in value from a number of factors described
below. They include changes in general bond market movements in the U.S. and abroad (this is referred to as "market risk"). There is
also the risk that poor security selection by the Fund's investment Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., will cause the Fund to
underperform other funds having similar objectives.

Credit Risk. Debt securities are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a debt security might not make
interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news
about an issuer can reduce the value of that issuer's securities. Securities directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and certain
agencies that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government have little credit risk, and securities issued by other
agencies of the U.S. government generally have low credit risks. Securities issued by private issuers have greater credit risks. If
an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income may be reduced. If an issuer fails to repay principal, the value of that security
and of the Fund's shares may be reduced.

o        Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Because the Fund can invest up to 35% of its total assets in securities (including
         convertible securities) below investment grade to seek higher income, the Fund's credit risks are greater than those of
         funds that buy only investment-grade securities. Lower-grade debt securities may be subject to greater market fluctuations
         and greater risks of loss of income and principal than investment-grade debt securities. Securities that are (or that have
         fallen) below investment grade are exposed to a greater risk that the issuers of those securities might not meet their debt
         obligations. Those risks can reduce the Fund's share prices and the income it earns. The market for lower-grade securities
         may be less liquid, especially during times of economic distress, and therefore they may be harder to value or to sell at an
         acceptable price.

Interest Rate Risks. Debt securities are subject to changes in value when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates fall,
the values of outstanding debt securities generally rise. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities
generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. The magnitude of these fluctuations is generally
greater for securities having longer maturities than for short-term securities. However, interest rate changes may have different
effects on the values of mortgage-related securities because of prepayment risks, discussed below.

         At times, the Fund may buy longer-term debt securities to seek higher income. When the average maturity of the Fund's
portfolio is longer, its share prices may fluctuate more when interest rates change. The Fund can buy zero-coupon or "stripped"
securities, which are particularly sensitive to interest rate changes and the rate of principal payments (and prepayments). These are
derivative securities that have prices that may go up or down more than other types of debt securities in response to interest rate
changes. The Fund's share prices can go up or down when interest rates change, because of the effect of the change on the value of
the Fund's investments. Also, if interest rates fall, the Fund's investments in new securities at lower yields will reduce the Fund's
income.

Prepayment Risk. Mortgage-related securities are subject to the risks of unanticipated prepayment. The risk is that when interest
rates fall, borrowers under the mortgages that underlie these securities will prepay their mortgages more quickly than expected,
causing the issuer of the security to pay the principal to the Fund prior to the security's expected maturity. The Fund may be
required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Mortgage-related securities subject to prepayment
risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall and have greater potential for loss when prevailing
interest rates rise. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the volatility
of the price. If the Fund buys mortgage-related securities at a premium, accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the
Fund to lose a portion of its principal investment represented by the premium.

         If interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments of mortgages may occur at a slower rate than expected, and the expected maturity
of short- or medium-term mortgage-related securities could lengthen as a result. That could cause their values to fluctuate more, and
the prices of the Fund's shares, to fluctuate more and to fall.

risks of Using Derivative Investments. The Fund can use derivatives to seek increased returns or to try to hedge investment risks. In
general terms, a derivative investment is an investment contract whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an
underlying asset, interest rate or index. Options, futures, interest-only and principal-only securities, structured notes,
interest-rate swap agreements and mortgage-related securities are examples of derivatives the Fund can use.

         If the issuer of the derivative does not pay the amount due, the Fund can lose money on the investment. Also, the underlying
security or investment on which the derivative is based, and the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Manager expected it
to perform. If that happens, the Fund's share prices could fall and the Fund could get less income than expected, or its hedge might
be unsuccessful. Some derivatives may be illiquid, making it difficult to value or to sell them at an acceptable price. The Fund has
limits on the amount of certain types of derivatives it can hold. However, using derivatives can cause the Fund to lose money on its
investments and/or increase the volatility of its share prices.

HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL? The risks described above collectively form the overall risk profile of the Fund, and can affect the
value of the Fund's investments, its investment performance and the prices of its shares. Particular investments and investment
strategies also have risks. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund. When you redeem your shares, they may
be worth more or less than what you paid for them. The share price of the Fund will change daily based on changes in interest rates,
market prices of securities and market conditions, and in response to other economic events. There is no assurance that the Fund will
achieve its investment objective.

         Debt securities are subject to market, credit and interest rate risks that can affect their values and the share prices of
the Fund. Prepayment risks of mortgage-backed securities can cause the Fund to reinvest proceeds of its investments in lower-yielding
securities. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund generally has more risks than bond funds that focus primarily on U. S.
government securities, but the Fund's emphasis on investment-grade securities may make its share prices less volatile than high-yield
bond funds or funds that focus on foreign bonds.

The Fund's Past Performance

The bar chart and table below show one measure of the risks of investing in the Fund, by showing changes in the Fund's performance
(for its Class A shares) from year to year for the last 10 calendar years and by showing how the average annual total returns of the
Fund's shares, both before and after taxes, compare to those of a broad-based market index. The after-tax returns are shown for Class
A shares only and are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect during the
periods shown, and do not reflect the impact of state or local taxes. The after-tax returns for the other classes of shares will
vary. The after-tax returns are calculated based on certain assumptions mandated by regulation and your actual after-tax returns may
differ from those shown, depending on your individual tax situation. The after-tax returns set forth below are not relevant to
investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or IRAs or to institutional investors not
subject to tax. The Fund's past investment performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will
perform in the future.

Annual Total Returns (Class A) (as of 12/31 each year)

                            [See appendix to prospectus for data in bar chart showing annual total returns]

For  the  period  from 1/1/2002 through 3/31/2002, the  cumulative  return  (not annualized) of  Class A  shares was   -0.42%.
Sales charges and taxes are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart, and if those charges were included, the
returns would be less than those shown.
During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return (not annualized) for a calendar quarter was 6.24% (2Qtr '95) and the
lowest return (not annualized) for a calendar quarter was -3.16% (1Qtr '94).

1. From 12/31/91.
2. Total returns for Class N shares are cumulative and are not annualized.
The Fund's average annual total returns include the applicable sales charge: for Class A, the current maximum initial sales charge of
4.75%; for Class B, the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5 years); and for Class C and Class N, the 1%
contingent deferred sales charge for the 1-year period for Class C shares and life-of-class period for Class N shares. Because Class
B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, Class B "life-of-class" performance does not include any contingent
deferred sales charge and uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. There is no sales charge for Class Y shares. The
Fund's returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have
been reinvested in additional shares. The performance of the Fund's Class A shares is compared to the Lehman Brothers Corporate Bond
Index, which measures the performance of non-convertible investment-grade domestic corporate debt securities. The index performance
includes the reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs. The Fund's investments vary from the securities in the
index.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

The Fund pays a variety of expenses directly for management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other
services. Those expenses are subtracted from the Fund's assets to calculate the Fund's net asset values per share. All shareholders
therefore pay those expenses indirectly. Shareholders pay other expenses directly, such as sales charges and account transaction
charges. The following tables are provided to help you understand the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the
Fund. The numbers below are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, as restated to reflect the
reduction in Management Fees and the change in Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees for Class N.

Effective January 1, 2002, the Management Fee rate has been reduced as described in "How the Fund is Managed - The Manager - Advisory
Fees." Prior to such change, Management Fees were 0.73% of average annual net assets for each Class. Accordingly, the Management Fees
and Total Annual Operating Expenses set forth above have been restated to reflect the reduced fees. Effective November 1, 2001, the
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees for Class N shares increased from 0.25% to 0.50%. For the period from March 1, 2001 when
Class N shares were first offered until the Fund's fiscal year-end of December 31, 2001, the Class N shares "Distribution and/or
Service (12b-1) Fees" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" were 0.37% and 1.37%, respectively.

"Other Expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial expenses, and accounting and legal expenses the Fund pays.
The "Other Expenses" in the table are based on, among other things, the fees the Fund would have paid if the transfer agent had not
waived a portion of its fee under a voluntary undertaking to the Fund to limit these fees to 0.25% per annum for Class Y shares and
0.35% per annum for all other classes. After the waiver, the actual "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" as
percentages of average daily net assets were 0.19% and 0.77%, respectively, for Class Y shares. Expenses may vary in future years.

Examples. The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in
other mutual funds. The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated and
reinvest your dividends and distributions.

         The first example assumes that you redeem all of your shares at the end of those periods. The second example assumes that
you keep your shares. Both examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the class's operating
expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be higher or lower because expenses will vary over time. Based on these assumptions
your expenses would be as follows:

In the first example, expenses include the initial sales charge for Class A and the applicable Class B, Class C or Class N contingent
deferred sales charges. In the second example, the Class A expenses include the sales charge, but Class B, Class C and Class N
expenses do not include contingent deferred sales charges.  There are no sales charges on Class Y shares.
1. Class B expenses for years 7 through 10 are based on Class A expenses, because Class B shares automatically convert to Class A
shares after 6 years.
About the Fund's Investments

THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among the different types of investments will vary
over time based upon the evaluation of economic and market trends. The Fund's portfolio might not always include all of the different
types of investments described below. The Statement of Additional Information contains more detailed information about the Fund's
investment policies and risks.

         The Manager tries to reduce risks by carefully researching securities before they are purchased. The Fund attempts to reduce
its exposure to market risks by diversifying its investments, that is, by not holding a substantial amount of securities of any one
issuer and by not investing too great a percentage of the Fund's assets in any one company. Also, the Fund does not concentrate 25%
or more of its investments in any one industry.

         However, changes in the overall market prices of securities and any income they may pay can occur at any time. The share
price and yield of the Fund will change daily based on changes in market prices of securities and market conditions, and in response
to other economic events.

         In selecting debt securities and evaluating their yield potential and credit risk, the Manager does not rely solely on
ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business and economic factors affecting an issuer as well. The debt securities the Fund
buys may be rated by nationally recognized rating organizations such as Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Rating
Services, or they may be unrated securities assigned an equivalent rating by the Manager. "Investment-grade" rated securities are
those in the four highest rating categories of national ratings organizations. A description of those ratings definitions is included
in Appendix A to the Statement of Additional Information.

U.S. Government Securities. Not all of the U.S. government securities the Fund buys are backed by the full faith and credit of the
         U.S. government as to payment of interest and repayment of principal. Some are backed by the right of the entity to borrow
         from the U.S. Treasury. Others are backed only by the credit of the instrumentality. All of these different types of
         securities described below are generally referred to as "U.S. government securities" in this Prospectus.
o        U.S. Treasury Obligations. These include Treasury bills (having maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes
         (having maturities of more than one year and up to ten years when issued), and Treasury bonds (having maturities of more
         than ten years when issued). Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States as to timely
         payments of interest and repayments of principal. The Fund can buy U. S. Treasury securities that have been "stripped" of
         their coupons and zero-coupon securities described below.
o        Obligations Issued or Guaranteed by U.S. Government Agencies or Instrumentalities. These include direct obligations and
         mortgage-related securities that have different levels of credit support from the U.S. government. Some are supported by the
         full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such as Government National Mortgage Association ("Ginnie Mae") pass-through
         mortgage certificates. Some are supported by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury under certain
         circumstances, such as Federal National Mortgage Association ("Fannie Mae") bonds. Others are supported only by the credit
         of the entity that issued them, such as Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac") obligations.
o        Mortgage-Related U.S. Government Securities. These include interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages, in the
         form of CMOs and other "pass-through" mortgage securities. CMOs that are U.S. government securities have collateral to
         secure payment of interest and principal. They may be issued in different series with different interest rates and
         maturities. The collateral is either in the form of mortgage pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency
         or instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a U.S. government agency. The Fund can have substantial amounts of its
         assets invested in mortgage-related U.S. government securities.
         The prices and yields of CMOs are determined, in part, by assumptions about the cash flows from the rate of payments of the
         underlying mortgages. Changes in interest rates may cause the rate of expected prepayments of those mortgages to change.
         These prepayment risks can make the prices of CMOs very volatile when interest rates change. That volatility will affect the
         Fund's share prices.
Other Debt Securities. While the Fund invests primarily in investment-grade debt securities, it is not required to dispose of debt
         securities that fall below investment grade after the Fund buys them. However, the portfolio managers will monitor those
         holdings to determine whether the Fund should sell them. While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by S&P are
         considered "investment grade," they have some speculative characteristics.
         While investment-grade securities are subject to risks of non-payment of interest and principal, in general, higher-yielding
         lower-grade bonds, whether rated or unrated, have greater risks than investment-grade securities. There may be less of a
         market for them and therefore they may be harder to value and sell at an acceptable price. These risks can reduce the Fund's
         share prices and the income it earns.
o        Private-Issuer Securities. The Fund can invest in securities issued by private issuers that do not offer the credit backing
         of the U.S. government. These include multi-class debt or pass-through certificates secured by mortgage loans. They may be
         issued by banks, savings and loans, mortgage bankers or special trusts. The Fund can buy other types of asset-backed
         securities collateralized by loans or other assets or receivables. Private-issuer mortgage-backed securities are subject to
         the credit risks of the issuers (as well as the interest rate risks and prepayment risks discussed above). There is the risk
         that private issuers may not make timely payment of interest or repay principal when due, although in some cases those
         payment obligations may be supported by insurance or guarantees.
Foreign Securities. The Fund typically invests a portion of its assets in foreign debt securities, and it has no limit on the amount
         of its assets that can be invested in foreign securities that are investment grade. The Fund can buy debt securities issued
         by foreign governments or companies. The Fund can buy securities of governments and companies in both developed markets and
         emerging markets. Debt securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign government or its agencies might not be backed by the
         "full faith and credit" of the government.
         The Fund's foreign debt investments can be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies. The Fund will buy foreign
         currency only in connection with the purchase and sale of foreign securities and not for speculation.
o        Risks of Foreign Investing. While foreign securities offer special investment opportunities, there are also special risks
         that can reduce the Fund's share prices and returns. The change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will
         result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency. Currency rate changes can
         also affect the distributions the Fund makes from the income it receives from foreign securities as foreign currency values
         change against the U.S. dollar. Foreign investing can result in higher transaction and operating costs for the Fund. Foreign
         issuers are not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to.
         The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, currency devaluation, expropriation or
         nationalization of a company's assets, foreign taxes, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in governmental economic
         or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and economic factors.
Portfolio Turnover. The Fund can engage in short-term trading to try to achieve its objective, and will likely have a high portfolio
         turnover rate. Portfolio turnover increases the Fund's brokerage and transaction costs (and reduces the Fund's performance).
         However, most of the Fund's portfolio transactions are principal trades that do not entail brokerage fees. If the Fund
         realizes capital gains when it sells its portfolio investments, it must generally pay those gains out to shareholders,
         increasing their taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this Prospectus shows the Fund's
         portfolio turnover rates during recent fiscal years.

CAN THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE AND POLICIES CHANGE? The Fund's Board of Trustees can change non-fundamental investment policies
without shareholder approval, although significant changes will be described in amendments to this Prospectus. Fundamental policies
cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares. The Fund's investment objective is a
fundamental policy. Investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Statement of Additional Information. An
investment policy is not fundamental unless this Prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information says that it is. The Fund's
policy to invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings) in debt securities is not a fundamental policy; however, it cannot
be changed without 60 days prior notice to shareholders.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. To seek its objective, the Fund can use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The
Manager might not always use all of them. These techniques have risks, although some are designed to help reduce overall investment
or market risks.

Forward Rolls.  The Fund can enter into "forward roll" transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities.  In this type of
         transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar
         security at a later date at a set price.
         During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal
         payments on the securities that have been sold.  It is possible that the market value of the securities the Fund sells may
         decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase securities, or that the counterparty might default in
         its obligation.
Zero-Coupon and "Stripped" Securities. Some of the debt securities the Fund buys are zero-coupon bonds that pay no interest. They are
         issued at a substantial discount from their face value. They may be securities issued by the U.S. government or private
         issuers. "Stripped" securities are the separate income or principal components of a debt security. Some CMOs or other
         mortgage-related securities may be stripped, with each component having a different proportion of principal or interest
         payments. One class might receive all the interest and the other all the principal payments.
         Zero-coupon and stripped securities are subject to greater fluctuations in price from interest rate changes than typical
         debt securities that pay interest on a regular basis. The Fund may have to pay out the imputed income on zero-coupon
         securities without receiving the cash currently. Stripped securities are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates.
         The values of interest-only and principal-only mortgage-related securities are very sensitive to changes in interest rates
         and prepayments of underlying mortgages. The market for these securities may be limited, making it difficult for the Fund to
         value or to sell its holdings at an acceptable price.
Preferred Stock. Unlike common stock, preferred stock typically has a stated dividend rate. Preferred stock dividends may be
         cumulative (they remain a liability of the company until they are paid) or non-cumulative. When interest rates rise, the
         value of preferred stock having a fixed dividend rate tends to fall. The right to payment of dividends on preferred stock is
         generally subordinate to the rights of a corporation's debt securities.
Asset-Backed Securities. The Fund can buy asset-backed securities, which are fractional interests in pools of loans collateralized by
         the loans or other assets or receivables. They are typically issued by trusts and special purpose corporations that pass the
         income from the underlying pool to the buyer of the interest. These securities are subject to prepayment risks and the risk
         of default by the issuer as well as by the borrowers of the underlying loans in the pool.
Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it
         difficult to value them or sell them at an acceptable price. A restricted security is one that has a contractual restriction
         on its resale or which cannot be sold publicly until it is registered under the Securities Act of 1933. The Fund will not
         invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or restricted securities (the Fund's Board of Trustees can increase that
         limit to 15%). Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be
         subject to that limit. The Manager monitors holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell
         any holdings to maintain adequate liquidity.
"Structured" Notes. The Fund can buy "structured" notes, which are specially-designed derivative debt investments whose payments of
         principal or interest payments are linked to the value of an index (such as a currency or securities index) or commodity.
         The terms of the instrument may be "structured" by the purchaser (the Fund) and the borrower issuing the note.
         The principal and/or interest payments depend on the performance of one or more other securities or indices, and the values
         of these notes will therefore fall or rise in response to the changes in the values of the underlying security or index.
         They are subject to both credit and interest rate risks and therefore the Fund could receive more or less than it originally
         invested when the notes mature, or it might receive less interest than the stated coupon payment if the underlying
         investment or index does not perform as anticipated. Their values may be very volatile and they may have a limited trading
         market, making it difficult for the Fund to sell its investment at an acceptable price.
Hedging. The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of futures contracts, put and call options, interest rate swaps and forward
         contracts to hedge investment risks. The Fund is not required to use hedging instruments to seek its objective and does not
         currently use them to a significant degree.
         There are special risks in particular hedging strategies. If the Manager used a hedging instrument at the wrong time or
         judged market conditions incorrectly, the strategy could reduce the Fund's return. The Fund could also experience losses if
         the prices of its futures and options positions were not correlated with its other investments or if it could not close out
         a position because of an illiquid market.
Short-Term Debt Securities. The Fund can buy high-quality, short-term money market instruments, including obligations of the U.S.
         Government and its agencies, short-term corporate debt obligations, bank certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances,
         and commercial paper, which are short-term, negotiable promissory notes of companies. Because these instruments tend to
         offer lower yields than other debt securities, the Fund ordinarily does not invest in them to seek high current income, and
         uses them more for liquidity and cash management purposes or for defensive purposes when market conditions are unstable.

How the Fund Is Managed

THE MANAGER. The Manager chooses the Fund's investments and handles its day-to-day business. The Manager carries out its duties,
subject to the policies established by the Fund's Board of Trustees, under an investment advisory agreement that states the Manager's
responsibilities. The agreement sets the fees the Fund pays to the Manager and describes the expenses that the Fund is responsible to
pay to conduct its business.

         The Manager has been an investment advisor since January 1960. The Manager and its subsidiaries and affiliates managed more
than $130 billion in assets as of March 31, 2002, including other Oppenheimer funds, with more than 6.3 million shareholder accounts.
The Manager is located at 498 Seventh Avenue, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10018.

Portfolio Managers. Since April 23, 2002, the Fund has been managed by a portfolio management team comprised of Angelo Manioudakis
         and other investment professionals selected from the Manager's high-grade team in its fixed-income department. This
         portfolio management team is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's portfolio. Mr. Manioudakis is
         a Vice President of the Fund and Senior Vice President of the Manager.  He is also an officer and portfolio manager of other
         Oppenheimer funds.  Certain members of the Fund's portfolio management team have portfolio management responsibilities for
         other Oppenheimer funds.  Prior to joining the Manager in April 2002, Mr. Manioudakis was a portfolio manager at Morgan
         Stanley Investment Management (since August 1993).

Advisory Fees. Under the Investment Advisory Agreement, effective January 1, 2002, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an
         annual rate that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows: 0.60% of the first $200 million of average annual net
         assets of the Fund, 0.57% of the next $200 million, 0.54% of the next $200 million, 0.51% of the next $200 million, 0.45% of
         the next $200 million and 0.35% of average annual net assets in excess of $1 billion. Prior to January 1, 2002 the annual
         advisory fee was: 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.72% of the next $200 million,
         0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60% of the next $200 million and 0.50% of average annual
         net assets in excess of $1 billion. The Fund's management fee for its last fiscal year ended December 31, 2001 was 0.73% of
         average annual net assets for each class of shares.

time with as little as $25. There are reduced minimum investments under special investment plans.
o        With Asset Builder Plans, 403(b) plans, Automatic Exchange Plans and military allotment plans, you can make initial and
         subsequent investments for as little as $25. You can make additional purchases of at least $25 through AccountLink.
o        Under retirement plans, such as IRAs, pension and profit-sharing plans and 401(k) plans, you can start your account with as
         little as $250. If your IRA is started as an Asset Builder Plan, the $25 minimum applies. Additional purchases may be for as
         little as $25.
o        The minimum investment requirement does not apply to reinvesting dividends from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds (a list
         of them appears in the Statement of Additional Information, or you can ask your dealer or call the Transfer Agent), or
         reinvesting distributions from unit investment trusts that have made arrangements with the Distributor.

AT WHAT PRICE ARE SHARES SOLD? Shares are sold at their offering price which is the net asset value per share plus any initial sales
charge that applies. The offering price that applies to a purchase order is based on the next calculation of the net asset value per
share that is made after the Distributor receives the purchase order at its offices in Colorado, or after any agent appointed by the
Distributor receives the order and sends it to the Distributor.
Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of shares as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange, on
         each day the Exchange is open for trading (referred to in this Prospectus as a "regular business day"). The Exchange
         normally closes at 4:00 P.M., New York time, but may close earlier on some days. All references to time in this Prospectus
         mean "New York time."
         The net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable to a class by the
         number of shares of that class that are outstanding. To determine net asset value, the Fund's Board of Trustees has
         established procedures to value the Fund's securities, in general, based on market value. The Board has adopted special
         procedures for valuing illiquid and restricted securities and obligations for which market values cannot be readily
         obtained. Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the
         values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.
         If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded, and before the time the Fund's
         securities are priced that day, an event occurs that the Manager deems likely to cause a material change in the value of such
         security, the Fund's Board of Trustees has authorized the Manager, subject to the Board's review, to ascertain a fair value
         for such security.
The Offering Price. To receive the offering price for a particular day, in most cases the Distributor or its designated agent must
         receive your order by the time of day The New York Stock Exchange closes that day. If your order is received on a day when
         the Exchange is closed or after it has closed, the order will receive the next offering price that is determined after your
         order is received.
Buying Through a Dealer. If you buy shares through a dealer, your dealer must receive the order by the close of The New York Stock
         Exchange and transmit it to the Distributor so that it is received before the Distributor's close of business on a regular
         business day (normally 5:00 P.M.) to receive that day's offering price. Otherwise, the order will receive the next offering
         price that is determined.

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund offers investors five different classes of shares. The different classes of
shares represent investments in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes are subject to different expenses and will likely
have different share prices. When you buy shares, be sure to specify the class of shares. If you do not choose a class, your
investment will be made in Class A shares.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class A Shares. If you buy Class A shares, you pay an initial sales charge (on investments up to $1 million). The amount of that
         sales charge will vary depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates are listed in "How Can You Buy Class A
         Shares?" below.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based
         sales charge. If you sell your shares within 6 years of buying them, you will normally pay a contingent deferred sales
         charge. That contingent deferred sales charge varies depending on how long you own your shares, as described in "How Can You
         Buy Class B Shares?" below.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based
         sales charge. If you sell your shares within 12 months of buying them, you will normally pay a contingent deferred sales
         charge of 1.0%, as described in "How Can You Buy Class C Shares?" below.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class N Shares. If you buy Class N shares (available only through certain retirement plans), you pay no sales charge at the time of
         purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within 18 months of the retirement
         plan's first purchase of Class N shares, you may pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described in "How Can
         You Buy Class N Shares?" below.
Class Y Shares. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional investors that have special agreements with the Distributor.

WHICH CLASS OF SHARES SHOULD YOU CHOOSE? Once you decide that the Fund is an appropriate investment for you, the decision as to which
class of shares is best suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should discuss with your financial advisor. Some
factors to consider are how much you plan to invest and how long you plan to hold your investment. If your goals and objectives
change over time and you plan to purchase additional shares, you should re-evaluate those factors to see if you should consider
another class of shares. The Fund's operating costs that apply to a class of shares and the effect of the different types of sales
charges on your investment will vary your investment results over time.

         The discussion below is not intended to be investment advice or a recommendation, because each investor's financial
considerations are different. The discussion below assumes that you will purchase only one class of shares and not a combination of
shares of different classes. Of course, these examples are based on approximations of the effects of current sales charges and
expenses projected over time, and do not detail all of the considerations in selecting a class of shares. You should analyze your
options carefully with your financial advisor before making that choice.

How Long Do You Expect to Hold Your Investment? While future financial needs cannot be predicted with certainty, knowing how long you
         expect to hold your investment will assist you in selecting the appropriate class of shares. Because of the effect of
         class-based expenses, your choice will also depend on how much you plan to invest. For example, the reduced sales charges
         available for larger purchases of Class A shares may, over time, offset the effect of paying an initial sales charge on your
         investment, compared to the effect over time of higher class-based expenses on shares of Class B, Class C or Class N. For
         retirement plans that qualify to purchase Class N shares, Class N shares will generally be more advantageous than Class B and
         Class C shares.
     o   Investing for the Shorter Term. While the Fund is meant to be a long-term investment, if you have a relatively short-term
         investment horizon (that is, you plan to hold your shares for not more than six years), you should probably consider
         purchasing Class A or Class C shares rather than Class B shares. That is because of the effect of the Class B contingent
         deferred sales charge if you redeem within six years, as well as the effect of the Class B asset-based sales charge on the
         investment return for that class in the short-term. Class C shares might be the appropriate choice (especially for
         investments of less than $100,000), because there is no initial sales charge on Class C shares, and the contingent deferred
         sales charge does not apply to amounts you sell after holding them one year.
         However, if you plan to invest more than $100,000 for the shorter term, then as your investment horizon increases toward six
         years, Class C shares might not be as advantageous as Class A shares. That is because the annual asset-based sales charge on
         Class C shares will have a greater impact on your account over the longer term than the reduced front-end sales charge
         available for larger purchases of Class A shares.
         And for non-retirement plan investors who invest $1 million or more, in most cases Class A shares will be the most
         advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold your shares. For that reason, the Distributor normally will not
         accept purchase orders of $500,000 or more of Class B shares or $1 million or more of Class C shares from a single investor.
o        Investing for the Longer Term. If you are investing less than $100,000 for the  longer-term,  for example for retirement,  and
         do not expect to need access to your money for seven years or more, Class B shares may be appropriate.
Are There  Differences  in Account  Features  That Matter to You?  Some  account  features may not be available to Class B, Class C and
         Class N  shareholders.  Other features may not be advisable  (because of the effect of the  contingent  deferred sales charge)
         for Class B, Class C and Class N  shareholders.  Therefore,  you should  carefully  review how you plan to use your investment
         account before deciding which class of shares to buy.
         Additionally, the dividends payable to Class B, Class C and Class N shareholders will be reduced by the additional expenses
         borne by those classes that are not borne by Class A or Class Y shares, such as the Class B, Class C and Class N asset-based
         sales charge described below and in the Statement of Additional Information. Share certificates are only available on Class A
         shares. If you are considering using your shares as collateral for a loan, that may be a factor to consider.
How Do Share Classes Affect Payments to Your Broker? A financial advisor may receive different compensation for selling one class of
         shares than for selling another class. It is important to remember that Class B, Class C and Class N contingent deferred
         sales charges and asset-based sales charges have the same purpose as the front-end sales charge on sales of Class A shares:
         to compensate the Distributor for concessions and expenses it pays to dealers and financial institutions for selling shares.
         The Distributor may pay additional compensation from its own resources to securities dealers or financial institutions based
         upon the value of shares of the Fund owned by the dealer or financial institution for its own account or for its customers.

SPECIAL SALES CHARGE ARRANGEMENTS AND WAIVERS. Appendix C to the Statement of Additional Information details the conditions for the
waiver of sales charges that apply in certain cases, and the special sales charge rates that apply to purchases of shares of the Fund
by certain groups, or under specified retirement plan arrangements or in other special types of transactions. To receive a waiver or
special sales charge rate, you must advise the Distributor when purchasing shares or the Transfer Agent when redeeming shares that
the special conditions apply.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS A SHARES? Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus an initial
sales charge. However, in some cases, described below, purchases are not subject to an initial sales charge, and the offering price
will be the net asset value. In other cases, reduced sales charges may be available, as described below or in the Statement of
Additional Information. Out of the amount you invest, the Fund receives the net asset value to invest for your account.

         The sales charge varies depending on the amount of your purchase. A portion of the sales charge may be retained by the
Distributor or allocated to your dealer as a concession. The Distributor reserves the right to reallow the entire concession to
dealers. The current sales charge rates and concessions paid to dealers and brokers are as follows:
  ------------------------------------ ------------------------ ------------------------- -------------------------

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges? You may be eligible to buy Class A shares at reduced sales charge rates under the Fund's "Right
         of Accumulation" or a Letter of Intent, as described in "Reduced Sales Charges" in the Statement of Additional Information.
Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any one or more of the
         Oppenheimer funds aggregating $1 million or more, or for certain purchases by particular types of retirement plans that were
         permitted to purchase such shares prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts"). Retirement plans are not
         permitted to make initial purchases of Class A shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. The Distributor pays
         dealers of record concessions in an amount equal to 1.0% of purchases of $1 million or more other than by grandfathered
         retirement accounts. For grandfathered retirement accounts, the concession is 1.0% of the first $2.5 million, plus 0.50% of
         the next $2.5 million, plus 0.25% of purchases over $5 million, calculated on a calendar year basis. In either case, the
         concession will not be paid on purchases of shares by exchange or that were previously subject to a front-end sales charge
         and dealer concession.
         If you redeem any of those shares within an 18-month "holding period" measured from the beginning of the calendar month of
         their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge (called the "Class A contingent deferred sales charge") may be deducted
         from the redemption proceeds. That sales charge will be equal to 1.0% of the lesser of:
o        the aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption (excluding shares purchased by reinvestment
         of dividends or capital gain distributions) or
o        the original net asset value of the redeemed shares.
         The Class A contingent deferred sales charge will not exceed the aggregate amount of the concessions the Distributor paid to
         your dealer on all purchases of Class A shares of all Oppenheimer funds you made that were subject to the Class A contingent
         deferred sales charge.
Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans. There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any one or more Oppenheimer
         funds by retirement plans that have $10 million or more in plan assets and that have entered into a special agreement with
         the Distributor and by retirement plans which are part of a retirement plan product or platform offered by certain banks,
         broker-dealers, financial advisors, insurance companies or recordkeepers which have entered into a special agreement with
         the Distributor. The Distributor currently pays dealers of record concessions in an amount equal to 0.25% of the purchase
         price of Class A shares by those retirement plans from its own resources at the time of sale, subject to certain exceptions
         as described in the Statement of Additional Information. There is no contingent deferred sales charge upon the redemption of
         such shares.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS B SHARES? Class B shares are sold at net asset value per share without an initial sales charge. However, if
Class B shares are redeemed within six years from the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales
charge will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. The Class B contingent deferred sales charge is paid to compensate the
Distributor for its expenses of providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class B shares.

         The amount of the contingent deferred sales charge will depend on the number of years since you invested and the dollar
amount being redeemed, according to the following schedule for the Class B contingent deferred sales charge holding period:

- ----------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------

In the table, a "year" is a 12-month  period.  In applying the contingent  deferred sales charge,  all purchases are considered to have
been made on the first regular business day of the month in which the purchase was made.

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after you purchase them.
         This conversion feature relieves Class B shareholders of the asset-based sales charge that applies to Class B shares under
         the Class B Distribution and Service Plan, described below. The conversion is based on the relative net asset value of the
         two classes, and no sales load or other charge is imposed. When any Class B shares that you hold convert, any other Class B
         shares that were acquired by reinvesting dividends and distributions on the converted shares will also convert to Class A
         shares. For further information on the conversion feature and its tax implications, see "Class B Conversion" in the
         Statement of Additional Information.

How Can you Buy Class C Shares? Class C shares are sold at net asset value per share without an initial sales charge. However, if
Class C shares are redeemed within a holding period of 12 months from the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, a
contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. The Class C contingent deferred sales charge
is paid to compensate the Distributor for its expenses of providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the
sale of Class C shares.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS N SHARES? Class N shares are offered only through retirement plans (including IRAs and 403(b) plans) that
purchase $500,000 or more of Class N shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds or through group retirement plans (which do not include
IRAs and 403(b) plans) that have assets of $500,000 or more or 100 or more eligible participants. See "Availability of Class N
shares" in the Statement of Additional Information for other circumstances where Class N shares are available for purchase.

A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be imposed upon the redemption of Class N shares, if:
o        The group retirement plan is terminated or Class N shares of all Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an investment option of
         the plan and Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months after the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any
         Oppenheimer fund, or
o        With respect to an IRA or 403(b) plan, Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months of the plan's first purchase of Class N
         shares of any Oppenheimer fund.
         Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on plan participant accounts. The procedures for buying,
selling, exchanging and transferring the Fund's other classes of shares (other than the time those orders must be received by the
Distributor or Transfer Agent in Colorado) and the special account features applicable to purchasers of those other classes of shares
described elsewhere in this prospectus do not apply to Class N shares offered through a group retirement plan. Instructions for
buying, selling, exchanging or transferring Class N shares offered through a group retirement plan must be submitted by the plan, not
by plan participants for whose benefit the shares are held.

Who Can Buy Class Y Shares? Class Y shares are sold at net asset value per share without a sales charge directly to institutional
investors that have special agreements with the Distributor for this purpose. They may include insurance companies, registered
investment companies and employee benefit plans. For example, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company ("MassMutual"), an
affiliate of the Manager, may purchase Class Y shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds (as well as Class Y shares of funds
advised by MassMutual) for asset allocation programs, investment companies or separate investment accounts it sponsors and offers to
its customers. Individual investors cannot buy Class Y shares directly.

         An institutional investor that buys Class Y shares for its customers' accounts may impose charges on those accounts. The
procedures for buying, selling, exchanging and transferring the Fund's other classes of shares (other than the time those orders must
be received by the Distributor or Transfer Agent at their Colorado office) and the special account features available to investors
buying those other classes of shares do not apply to Class Y shares. Instructions for buying, selling, exchanging or transferring
Class Y shares must be submitted by the institutional investor, not by its customers for whose benefit the shares are held.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS.

Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion
         of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an
         annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual 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 quarterly for providing personal service
         and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares.

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class
         B, Class C and Class N shares to pay the Distributor for its services and costs in distributing Class B, Class C and Class N
         shares and servicing accounts. Under the plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on
         Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under
         the Class B, Class C and Class N plans.

         The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and Class C expenses by 1.0% and increase Class N expenses by
         0.50% of the net assets per year of the respective class. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an
         on-going basis, over time these fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more than other types of
         sales charges.
         The Distributor uses the service fees to compensate dealers for providing personal services for accounts that hold Class B,
         Class C or Class N shares. The Distributor pays the 0.25% service fees to dealers in advance for the first year after the
         shares are sold by the dealer. After the shares have been held for a year, the Distributor pays the service fees to dealers
         on a quarterly basis. The Distributor retains the service fees for accounts for which it renders the required personal
         services.

         The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 3.75% of the purchase price of Class B shares to dealers from its own
         resources at the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total amount paid by the Distributor to the
         dealer at the time of sale of Class B shares is therefore 4.00% of the purchase price. The Distributor retains the Class B
         asset-based sales charge. See the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

         The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase price of Class C shares to dealers from its own
         resources at the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total amount paid by the Distributor to the
         dealer at the time of sale of Class C shares is therefore 1.0% of the purchase price. The Distributor pays the asset-based
         sales charge as an ongoing concession to the dealer on Class C shares that have been outstanding for a year or more. See the
         Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

         The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the purchase price of Class N shares to dealers from its own
         resources at the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total amount paid by the Distributor to the
         dealer at the time of sale of Class N shares is therefore 1.0% of the purchase price. The Distributor retains the
         asset-based sales charge on Class N shares. See the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

Special Investor Services

ACCOUNTLINK. You can use our AccountLink feature to link your Fund account with an account at a U.S. bank or other financial
institution. It must be an Automated Clearing House (ACH) member. AccountLink lets you:
      o  transmit funds electronically to purchase shares by telephone (through a service representative or by PhoneLink) or
         automatically under Asset Builder Plans, or
      o  have the Transfer Agent send redemption proceeds or transmit dividends and distributions directly to your bank account.
         Please call the Transfer Agent for more information.
         You may purchase shares by telephone only after your account has been established. To purchase shares in amounts up to
$250,000 through a telephone representative, call the Distributor at 1.800.852.8457. The purchase payment will be debited from your
bank account.

         AccountLink privileges should be requested on your Application or your dealer's settlement instructions if you buy your
shares through a dealer. After your account is established, you can request AccountLink privileges by sending signature-guaranteed
instructions to the Transfer Agent. AccountLink privileges will apply to each shareholder listed in the registration on your account
as well as to your dealer representative of record unless and until the Transfer Agent receives written instructions terminating or
changing those privileges. After you establish AccountLink for your account, any change of bank account information must be made by
signature-guaranteed instructions to the Transfer Agent signed by all shareholders who own the account.

PHONELINK. PhoneLink is the OppenheimerFunds automated telephone system that enables shareholders to perform a number of account
transactions automatically using a touch-tone phone. PhoneLink may be used on already-established Fund accounts after you obtain a
Personal Identification Number (PIN), by calling the special PhoneLink number, 1.800.533.3310.
Purchasing Shares. You may purchase shares in amounts up to $100,000 by phone, by calling 1.800.533.3310. You must have established
         AccountLink privileges to link your bank account with the Fund to pay for these purchases.
Exchanging Shares. With the OppenheimerFunds Exchange Privilege, described below, you can exchange shares automatically by phone from
         your Fund account to another OppenheimerFunds account you have already established by calling the special PhoneLink number.

CAN YOU SUBMIT TRANSACTION REQUESTS BY FAX? You may send requests for certain types of account transactions to the Transfer Agent by
fax (telecopier). Please call 1.800.525.7048 for information about which transactions may be handled this way. Transaction requests
submitted by fax are subject to the same rules and restrictions as written and telephone requests described in this Prospectus.

OPPENHEIMERFUNDS INTERNET WEBSITE. You can obtain information about the Fund, as well as your account balance, on the
OppenheimerFunds Internet website, at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Additionally, shareholders listed in the account registration (and
the dealer of record) may request certain account transactions through a special section of that website. To perform account
transactions or obtain account information online, you must first obtain a user I.D. and password on that website. If you do not want
to have Internet account transaction capability for your account, please call the Transfer Agent at 1.800.525.7048. At times, the
website may be inaccessible or its transaction features may be unavailable.

AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL AND EXCHANGE PLANS. The Fund has several plans that enable you to sell shares automatically or exchange them to
another OppenheimerFunds account on a regular basis. Please call the Transfer Agent or consult the Statement of Additional
Information for details.

REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE If you redeem some or all of your Class A or Class B shares of the Fund, you have up to six months to reinvest
all or part of the redemption proceeds in Class A shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds without paying a sales charge. This
privilege applies only to Class A shares that you purchased subject to an initial sales charge and to Class A or Class B shares on
which you paid a contingent deferred sales charge when you redeemed them. This privilege does not apply to Class C, Class N or Class
Y shares. You must be sure to ask the Distributor for this privilege when you send your payment.

RETIREMENT PLANS. You may buy shares of the Fund for your retirement plan account. If you participate in a plan sponsored by your
employer, the plan trustee or administrator must buy the shares for your plan account. The Distributor also offers a number of
different retirement plans that individuals and employers can use:
Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). These include regular IRAs, Roth IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs and rollover IRAs.
SEP-IRAs. These are Simplified Employee Pension Plan IRAs for small business owners or self-employed individuals.
403(b)(7) Custodial Plans. These are tax-deferred plans for employees of eligible tax-exempt organizations, such as schools,
         hospitals and charitable organizations.
401(k) Plans. These are special retirement plans for businesses.
Pension and Profit-Sharing Plans. These plans are designed for businesses and self-employed individuals.
         Please call the Distributor for OppenheimerFunds retirement plan documents, which include applications and important plan
information.

How to Sell Shares

You can sell (redeem) some or all of your shares on any regular business day. Your shares will be sold at the next net asset value
calculated after your order is received in proper form (which means that it must comply with the procedures described below) and is
accepted by the Transfer Agent. The Fund lets you sell your shares by writing a letter, by using the Fund's checkwriting privilege,
or by telephone. You can also set up Automatic Withdrawal Plans to redeem shares on a regular basis. If you have questions about any
of these procedures, and especially if you are redeeming shares in a special situation, such as due to the death of the owner or from
a retirement plan account, please call the Transfer Agent first, at 1.800.525.7048, for assistance.

Certain Requests Require a Signature Guarantee. To protect you and the Fund from fraud, the following redemption requests must be in
         writing and must include a signature guarantee (although there may be other situations that also require a signature
         guarantee):
     o   You wish to redeem more than $100,000 and receive a check
     o   The redemption check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the account statement
     o   The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account statement
     o   Shares are being transferred to a Fund account with a different owner or name
     o   Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor) other than the owners.
Where Can You Have Your Signature Guaranteed? The Transfer Agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a number of financial
         institutions, including:
o        a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
o        a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
o        a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or government securities, or
o        a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities association or a clearing agency.
         If you are signing on behalf of a corporation, partnership or other business or as a fiduciary, you must also include your
         title in the signature.
Retirement Plan Accounts. There are special procedures to sell shares in an OppenheimerFunds retirement plan account. Call the
         Transfer Agent for a distribution request form. Special income tax withholding requirements apply to distributions from
         retirement plans. You must submit a withholding form with your redemption request to avoid delay in getting your money and
         if you do not want tax withheld. If your employer holds your retirement plan account for you in the name of the plan, you
         must ask the plan trustee or administrator to request the sale of the Fund shares in your plan account.

Checkwriting. To write checks against your Fund account, request that privilege on your account application, or contact the Transfer
Agent for signature cards. They must be signed (with a signature guarantee) by all owners of the account and returned to the Transfer
Agent so that checks can be sent to you to use. Shareholders with joint accounts can elect in writing to have checks paid over the
signature of one owner. If you previously signed a signature card to establish checkwriting in another Oppenheimer fund, simply call
1.800.525.7048 to request checkwriting for an account in this Fund with the same registration as the other account.
o        Checks can be written to the order of whomever you wish, but may not be cashed at the bank the checks are payable through or
         the Fund's custodian bank.
o        Checkwriting privileges are not available for accounts holding shares that are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.
o        Checks must be written for at least $100.
o        Checks cannot be paid if they are written for more than your account value. Remember, your shares fluctuate in value and you
         should not write a check close to the total account value.
o        You may not write a check that would require the Fund to redeem shares that were purchased by check or Asset Builder Plan
         payments within the prior 10 days.
Don't use your checks if you changed your Fund account number, until you receive new checks.

HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY MAIL? Write a letter of instruction that includes:
     o   Your name
     o   The Fund's name
     o   Your Fund account number (from your account statement)
     o   The dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed
     o   Any special payment instructions
     o   Any share certificates for the shares you are selling
     o   The signatures of all registered owners exactly as the account is registered, and
     o   Any special documents requested by the Transfer Agent to assure proper authorization of the person asking to sell the shares.

requests by mail:                                            requests to:
OppenheimerFunds Services                                    OppenheimerFunds Services
P.O. Box 5270                                                10200 E. Girard Avenue, Building D
Denver Colorado 80217                                        Denver, Colorado 80231

HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY TELEPHONE? You and your dealer representative of record may also sell your shares by telephone. To receive
the redemption price calculated on a particular regular business day, your call must be received by the Transfer Agent by the close
of The New York Stock Exchange that day, which is normally 4:00 P.M., but may be earlier on some days. You may not redeem shares held
in an OppenheimerFunds retirement plan account or under a share certificate by telephone.
     o   To redeem shares through a service representative, call 1.800.852.8457
     o   To redeem shares automatically on PhoneLink, call 1.800.533.3310
         Whichever  method you use,  you may have a check sent to the  address on the  account  statement,  or, if you have linked your
Fund account to your bank account on AccountLink, you may have the proceeds sent to that bank account.

Are There Limits on Amounts Redeemed by Telephone?
Telephone Redemptions Paid by Check. Up to $100,000 may be redeemed by telephone in any seven-day period. The check must be payable
         to all owners of record of the shares and must be sent to the address on the account statement. This service is not
         available within 30 days of changing the address on an account.
Telephone Redemptions Through AccountLink. There are no dollar limits on telephone redemption proceeds sent to a bank account
         designated when you establish AccountLink. Normally the ACH transfer to your bank is initiated on the business day after the
         redemption. You do not receive dividends on the proceeds of the shares you redeemed while they are waiting to be
         transferred.

CAN YOU SELL SHARES THROUGH your DEALER? The Distributor has made arrangements to repurchase Fund shares from dealers and brokers on
behalf of their customers. Brokers or dealers may charge for that service. If your shares are held in the name of your dealer, you
must redeem them through your dealer.

HOW CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES AFFECT REDEMPTIONS. If you purchase shares subject to a Class A, Class B, Class C or Class N
contingent deferred sales charge and redeem any of those shares during the applicable holding period for the class of shares, the
contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from the redemption proceeds (unless you are eligible for a waiver of that sales
charge based on the categories listed in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional Information and you advise the Transfer Agent of
your eligibility for the waiver when you place your redemption request.)

         A contingent  deferred  sales charge will be based on the lesser of the net asset value of the redeemed  shares at the time of
redemption or the original net asset value. A contingent deferred sales charge is not imposed on:
o        the amount of your account value represented by an increase in net asset value over the initial purchase price,
o        shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, or
o        shares redeemed in the special circumstances described in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional Information
         To determine whether a contingent deferred sales charge applies to a redemption, the Fund redeems shares in the following
order:
     1.  shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions,
     2.  shares held for the holding period that applies to the class, and
     3.  shares held the longest during the holding period.

         Contingent  deferred  sales  charges  are not charged  when you  exchange  shares of the Fund for shares of other  Oppenheimer
funds.  However,  if you exchange them within the applicable  contingent  deferred sales charge holding period, the holding period will
carry  over to the fund whose  shares you  acquire.  Similarly,  if you  acquire  shares of this Fund by  exchanging  shares of another
Oppenheimer  fund that are still subject to a contingent  deferred sales charge holding period,  that holding period will carry over to
this Fund.


How to Exchange Shares

Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of certain Oppenheimer funds at net asset value per share at the time of exchange,
without sales charge. Shares of the Fund can be purchased by exchange of shares of other Oppenheimer funds on the same basis. To
exchange shares, you must meet several conditions:
     o   Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of residence.
     o   The prospectuses of both funds must offer the exchange privilege.
     o   You must hold the shares you buy when you establish your account for at least seven days before you can exchange them. After
         the account is open seven days, you can exchange shares every regular business day.
     o   You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the fund whose shares you purchase by exchange.
     o   Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain and read its prospectus
         Shares of a particular class of the Fund may be exchanged only for shares of the same class in the other Oppenheimer funds.
For example, you can exchange Class A shares of this Fund only for Class A shares of another fund. In some cases, sales charges may
be imposed on exchange transactions. For tax purposes, exchanges of shares involve a sale of the shares of the fund you own and a
purchase of the shares of the other fund, which may result in a capital gain or loss. Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the
Statement of Additional Information for more details.

         You can find a list of Oppenheimer funds currently available for exchanges in the Statement of Additional Information or
obtain one by calling a service representative at 1.800.525.7048. That list can change from time to time.

HOW DO you SUBMIT EXCHANGE REQUESTS? Exchanges may be requested in writing or by telephone:
Written Exchange Requests. Submit an OppenheimerFunds Exchange Request form, signed by all owners of the account. Send it to the
         Transfer Agent at the address on the back cover. Exchanges of shares held under certificates cannot be processed unless the
         Transfer Agent receives the certificates with the request.
Telephone Exchange Requests.  Telephone exchange requests may be made either by calling a service representative at 1.800.852.8457,  or
         by using PhoneLink for automated  exchanges by calling  1.800.533.3310.  Telephone exchanges may be made only between accounts
         that are registered with the same name(s) and address. Shares held under certificates may not be exchanged by telephone.

ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON EXCHANGES? There are certain exchange policies you should be aware of:
o        Shares are normally redeemed from one fund and purchased from the other fund in the exchange transaction on the same regular
         business day on which the Transfer Agent receives an exchange request that conforms to the policies described above. It must
         be received by the close of The New York Stock Exchange that day, which is normally 4:00 P.M. but may be earlier on some
         days. However, either fund may delay the purchase of shares of the fund you are exchanging into up to seven days if it
         determines it would be disadvantaged by the same day exchange.
o        The interests of the Fund's long-term shareholders and its ability to manage its investments may be adversely affected when
         its shares are repeatedly bought and sold in response to short-term market fluctuations--also known as "market timing." When
         large dollar amounts are involved, the Fund may have difficulty implementing long-term investment strategies, because it
         cannot predict how much cash it will have to invest. Market timing also may force the Fund to sell portfolio securities at
         disadvantageous times to raise the cash needed to buy a market timer's Fund shares. These factors may hurt the Fund's
         performance and its shareholders. When the Manager believes frequent trading would have a disruptive effect on the Fund's
         ability to manage its investments, the Manager and the Fund may reject purchase orders and exchanges into the Fund by any
         person, group or account that the Manager believes to be a market timer.
     o   The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any time. The Fund will provide you notice whenever it is
         required to do so by applicable law, but it may impose changes at any time for emergency purposes.
     o   If the Transfer Agent cannot exchange all the shares you request because of a restriction cited above, only the shares
         eligible for exchange will be exchanged.

Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More information about the Fund's policies and procedures for buying, selling and exchanging shares is contained in the Statement of
Additional Information.
The offering of shares may be suspended during any period in which the determination of net asset value is suspended, and the
         offering may be suspended by the Board of Trustees at any time the Board believes it is in the Fund's best interest to do so.
Telephone transaction privileges for purchases, redemptions or exchanges may be modified, suspended or terminated by the Fund at any
         time. The Fund will provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable law. If an account has more than one
         owner, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may rely on the instructions of any one owner. Telephone privileges apply to each
         owner of the account and the dealer representative of record for the account unless the Transfer Agent receives cancellation
         instructions from an owner of the account.
The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning transactions and has adopted other procedures to confirm
         that telephone instructions are genuine, by requiring callers to provide tax identification numbers and other account data
         or by using PINs, and by confirming such transactions in writing. The Transfer Agent and the Fund will not be liable for
         losses or expenses arising out of telephone instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
Redemption or transfer requests will not be honored until the Transfer Agent receives all required documents in proper form. From
         time to time, the Transfer Agent in its discretion may waive certain of the requirements for redemptions stated in this
         Prospectus.
Dealers that perform account transactions for their clients by participating in NETWORKING through the National Securities Clearing
         Corporation are responsible for obtaining their clients' permission to perform those transactions, and are responsible to
         their clients who are shareholders of the Fund if the dealer performs any transaction erroneously or improperly.
The redemption price for shares will vary from day to day because the value of the securities in the Fund's portfolio fluctuates. The
         redemption price, which is the net asset value per share, will normally differ for each class of shares. The redemption
         value of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.
Payment for redeemed shares ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by check, or through AccountLink (as elected by the
         shareholder) within seven days after the Transfer Agent receives redemption instructions in proper form. However, under
         unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. For
         accounts registered in the name of a broker-dealer, payment will normally be forwarded within three business days after
         redemption.
The Transfer Agent may delay forwarding a check or processing a payment via AccountLink for recently purchased shares, but only until
         the purchase payment has cleared. That delay may be as much as 10 days from the date the shares were purchased. That delay
         may be avoided if you purchase shares by Federal Funds wire or certified check, or arrange with your bank to provide
         telephone or written assurance to the Transfer Agent that your purchase payment has cleared
Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the account value has fallen below $1,000 for reasons other than
         the fact that the market value of shares has dropped. In some cases, involuntary redemptions may be made to repay the
         Distributor for losses from the cancellation of share purchase orders.
Shares may be "redeemed in kind" under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet
         redemptions). This means that the redemption proceeds will be paid with liquid securities from the Fund's portfolio.
"Backup withholding" of federal income tax may be applied against taxable dividends, distributions and redemption proceeds (including
         exchanges) if you fail to furnish the Fund your correct, certified Social Security or Employer Identification Number when
         you sign your application, or if you under-report your income to the Internal Revenue Service.
To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Fund will mail only one copy of each prospectus, annual and
         semi-annual report and annual notice of the Fund's privacy policy to shareholders having the same last name and address on
         the Fund's records. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits the Fund through reduced mailing
         expense.
         If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call the Transfer Agent at 1.800.525.7048. You may also
         notify the Transfer Agent in writing. Individual copies of prospectuses, reports and privacy notices will be sent to you
         commencing within 30 days after the Transfer Agent receives your request to stop householding.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends. The Fund intends to declare dividends separately for each class of shares from net investment income each regular business
day and pay those dividends to shareholders monthly on a date selected by the Board of Trustees. Daily dividends will not be declared
or paid on newly purchased shares until Federal Funds are available to the Fund from the purchase payment for shares. Dividends and
distributions paid to Class A and Class Y shares will generally be higher than dividends for Class B, Class C and Class N shares,
which normally have higher expenses than Class A and Class Y shares. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it
will pay any dividends or distributions.

Capital Gains. The Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities. If it does, it may make distributions out of
any net short-term or long-term capital gains in December of each year. The Fund may make supplemental distributions of dividends and
capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. There can be no assurance that the Fund will pay any capital gains distributions
in a particular year.

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE FOR RECEIVING DISTRIBUTIONS? When you open your account, specify on your application how you want to receive
your dividends and distributions. You have four options:
Reinvest All Distributions in the Fund. You can elect to reinvest all dividends and capital gains distributions in additional shares
         of the Fund.
Reinvest Dividends or Capital Gains. You can elect to reinvest some distributions (dividends, short-term capital gains or long-term
         capital gains distributions) in the Fund while receiving the other types of distributions by check or having them sent to
         your bank account through AccountLink.
Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive a check for all dividends and capital gains distributions or have them
         sent to your bank through AccountLink.
Reinvest Your Distributions in Another OppenheimerFunds Account. You can reinvest all distributions in the same class of shares of
         another OppenheimerFunds account you have established.

TAXES. If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred retirement account, you should be aware of the following tax implications of
investing in the Fund. Distributions are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to state or local taxes. Dividends paid
from short-term capital gains and net investment income are taxable as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains are taxable as
long-term capital gains when distributed to shareholders. It does not matter how long you have held your shares. Whether you reinvest
your distributions in additional shares or take them in cash, the tax treatment is the same.

         Every year the Fund will send you and the IRS a statement showing the amount of any taxable distribution you received in the
previous year. Any long-term capital gains will be separately identified in the tax information the Fund sends you after the end of
the calendar year.
Avoid "Buying a Dividend." If you buy shares on or just before  the Fund declares a capital gains distribution, you will pay the full
         price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back as a taxable capital gain.
Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions. Because the Fund's share prices fluctuate, you may have a capital gain or loss when you
         sell or exchange your shares. A capital gain or loss is the difference between the price you paid for the shares and the
         price you received when you sold them. Any capital gain is subject to capital gains tax.
Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the Fund may be considered a non-taxable return of capital to
         shareholders. If that occurs, it will be identified in notices to shareholders.

         This information is only a summary of certain federal income tax information  about your  investment.  You should consult with
your tax advisor about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation.


Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's financial performance for the past five fiscal years.
Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an
investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This
information has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Fund's independent auditors, whose report, along with the Fund's financial
statements, is included in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available on request.

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

The  investment  objective,  the  principal  investment  policies and the main risks of the Fund are  described in the
Prospectus.  This  Statement of Additional  Information  contains  supplemental  information  about those policies and
risks and the types of securities  that the Fund's  investment  Manager,  OppenheimerFunds,  Inc.,  can select for the
Fund.  Additional  information  is also  provided  about the  strategies  that the Fund may use to try to achieve  its
objectives.

The Fund's  Investment  Policies.  The composition of the Fund's  portfolio and the techniques and strategies that the
Manager may use in  selecting  portfolio  securities  will vary over time.  The Fund is not required to use all of the
investment  techniques and strategies  described below in seeking its goal. It may use some of the special  investment
techniques and strategies at some times or not at all.

         In selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio,  the Manager evaluates the merits of particular  securities
primarily through the exercise of its own investment  analysis.  In the case of non-governmental  issues, that process
may include,  among other things,  evaluation  of the issuer's  historical  operations,  prospects for the industry of
which the issuer is part, the issuer's financial  condition,  its pending product developments and business (and those
of  competitors),  the effect of general  market and economic  conditions on the issuer's  business,  and  legislative
proposals that might affect the issuer.  In the case of foreign  issuers,  the Manager may consider  general  economic
conditions,  the  conditions  of a  particular  country's  economy in  relation to the U.S.  economy or other  foreign
economies,  general  political  conditions in a country or region,  the effect of taxes, the efficiencies and costs of
particular markets (as well as their liquidity) and other factors.

         |X| Debt  Securities.  The Fund can invest in a variety of debt  securities  to seek its  objective.  Foreign
debt securities are subject to the risks of foreign securities  described below. In general,  debt securities are also
subject to two additional types of risk: credit risk and interest rate risk.

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

         The Fund's investments  primarily are investment-grade debt securities and U.S. government  securities.  U.S.
government  securities,  although  unrated,  are  generally  considered  to be equivalent to securities in the highest
rating categories.  Investment-grade  bonds are bonds rated at least "Baa" by Moody's Investors  Service,  Inc., or at
least  "BBB" by  Standard  & Poor's  Rating  Service  or Fitch,  Inc.,  or that have  comparable  ratings  by  another
nationally-recognized  rating  organization.  The Fund can also buy  non-investment-grade  debt  securities  (commonly
referred to as "junk bonds").

         In making  investments  in debt  securities,  the  Manager  may rely to some extent on the ratings of ratings
organizations or it may use its own research to evaluate a security's  credit-worthiness.  If securities the Fund buys
are unrated, to be considered part of the Fund's holdings of investment-grade  securities,  they must be judged by the
Manager to be of comparable quality to bonds rated as investment grade by a rating organization.

              o  Interest  Rate  Risk.  Interest  rate risk  refers to the  fluctuations  in value of debt  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  debt securities,  and a decline in general interest rates will
tend to increase their value. In addition,  debt securities having longer maturities tend to offer higher yields,  but
are subject to  potentially  greater  fluctuations  in value from changes in interest  rates than  obligations  having
shorter maturities.

         Fluctuations  in the market  value of debt  securities  after the Fund buys them will not affect the interest
income  payable on those  securities  (unless the security  pays  interest at a variable  rate pegged to interest rate
changes).  However, those price fluctuations will be reflected in the valuations of the securities,  and therefore the
Fund's net asset values will be affected by those fluctuations.

              o Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities.  The Fund can invest in lower-grade debt securities.  Because
lower-grade  securities  tend to offer  higher  yields  than  investment-grade  securities,  the Fund might  invest in
lower-grade securities if the Manager is trying to achieve higher income.

         "Lower-grade"  debt  securities  are those rated  below  "investment  grade,"  which means they have a rating
lower than "Baa" by Moody's or lower  than "BBB" by  Standard & Poor's or Fitch,  or similar  ratings by other  rating
organizations.  If they are unrated,  and are determined by the Manager to be of comparable quality to debt securities
rated below investment grade, they are considered part of the Fund's portfolio of lower-grade securities.

         Some of the special  credit risks of  lower-grade  securities  are discussed  below.  There is a greater risk
that  the  issuer  may  default  on its  obligation  to pay  interest  or to  repay  principal  than  in the  case  of
investment-grade  securities.  The issuer's low  creditworthiness  may increase the potential for its  insolvency.  An
overall  decline in values in the high yield bond  market is also more  likely  during a period of a general  economic
downturn.  An economic  downturn or an increase  in interest  rates could  severely  disrupt the market for high yield
bonds,  adversely  affecting  the values of  outstanding  bonds as well as the  ability of issuers to pay  interest or
repay  principal.  In the case of foreign  high yield  bonds,  these risks are in  addition  to the  special  risks of
foreign investing discussed in the Prospectus and in this Statement of Additional Information.

         To the extent they can be converted  into stock,  convertible  securities  may be less subject to some of the
risks of volatility than  non-convertible  high yield bonds,  since stock may be more liquid and less affected by some
of these risk factors.

         While  securities  rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by Standard & Poor's or Fitch are investment grade and are
not  regarded  as  junk  bonds,  those  securities  may  be  subject  to  special  risks  and  have  some  speculative
characteristics.  Definitions of the debt security  ratings  categories of Moody's,  Standard & Poor's,  and Fitch are
included in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information.

         |X|  Mortgage-Related   Securities.   Mortgage-related   securities  are  a  form  of  derivative  investment
collateralized  by pools of commercial or residential  mortgages.  Pools of mortgage loans are assembled as securities
for  sale  to  investors  by  government  agencies  or  entities  or by  private  issuers.  These  securities  include
collateralized  mortgage  obligations  ("CMOs"),  mortgage  pass-through  securities,  stripped mortgage  pass-through
securities,  interests  in  real  estate  mortgage  investment  conduits  ("REMICs")  and  other  real  estate-related
securities.

         Mortgage-related  securities  that are issued or  guaranteed  by  agencies or  instrumentalities  of the U.S.
government  have  relatively  little  credit risk  (depending on the nature of the issuer) but are subject to interest
rate risks and prepayment risks, as described in the Prospectus.

         As with other debt securities,  the prices of  mortgage-related  securities tend to move inversely to changes
in interest  rates.  The Fund can buy  mortgage-related  securities  that have interest  rates that move  inversely to
changes in general interest rates,  based on a multiple of a specific index.  Although the value of a mortgage-related
security may decline when interest rates rise, the converse is not always the case.

         In  periods  of  declining  interest  rates,   mortgages  are  more  likely  to  be  prepaid.   Therefore,  a
mortgage-related  security's  maturity  can be shortened  by  unscheduled  prepayments  on the  underlying  mortgages.
Therefore,  it is not possible to predict  accurately the  security's  yield.  The principal that is returned  earlier
than  expected  may have to be  reinvested  in other  investments  having a lower  yield  than the  prepaid  security.
Therefore,  these  securities may be less effective as a means of "locking in" attractive  long-term  interest  rates,
and they may have less  potential for  appreciation  during periods of declining  interest  rates,  than  conventional
bonds with comparable stated maturities.

         Prepayment risks can lead to substantial  fluctuations in the value of a mortgage-related  security. In turn,
this can affect the value of the Fund's shares. If a  mortgage-related  security has been purchased at a premium,  all
or part of the premium the Fund paid may be lost if there is a decline in the market  value of the  security,  whether
that  results  from  interest  rate  changes or  prepayments  on the  underlying  mortgages.  In the case of  stripped
mortgage-related  securities, if they experience greater rates of prepayment than were anticipated,  the Fund may fail
to recoup its initial investment on the security.

         During periods of rapidly rising  interest  rates,  prepayments of  mortgage-related  securities may occur at
slower than expected  rates.  Slower  prepayments  effectively  may lengthen a  mortgage-related  security's  expected
maturity.  Generally,  that would cause the value of the security to fluctuate  more widely in responses to changes in
interest rates.  If the prepayments on the Fund's  mortgage-related  securities were to decrease  broadly,  the Fund's
sensitivity to interest rate changes would increase.

         As with other debt securities,  the values of  mortgage-related  securities may be affected by changes in the
market's  perception of the  creditworthiness  of the entity issuing the securities or guaranteeing them. Their values
may also be affected by changes in government regulations and tax policies.

              o Collateralized  Mortgage Obligations.  Collateralized  mortgage obligations or "CMOs," are multi-class
bonds that are backed by pools of mortgage loans or mortgage  pass-through  certificates.  They may be  collateralized
by:
(1)      pass-through  certificates  issued or guaranteed by Government  National Mortgage  Association  (Ginnie Mae),
                        Federal National Mortgage  Association (Fannie Mae), or Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
                        (Freddie Mac),
(2)      unsecuritized  mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing  Administration  or guaranteed by the Department
                        of Veterans' Affairs,
(3)      unsecuritized conventional mortgages,
(4)      other mortgage-related securities, or
(5)      any combination of these.

         Each  class of CMO,  referred  to as a  "tranche,"  is  issued  at a  specific  coupon  rate and has a stated
maturity or final  distribution  date.  Principal  prepayments  on the  underlying  mortgages  may cause the CMO to be
retired  much  earlier  than the stated  maturity  or final  distribution  date.  The  principal  and  interest on the
underlying  mortgages may be allocated  among the several  classes of a series of a CMO in different ways. One or more
tranches may have coupon  rates that reset  periodically  at a specified  increase  over an index.  These are floating
rate CMOs,  and typically have a cap on the coupon rate.  Inverse  floating rate CMOs have a coupon rate that moves in
the reverse  direction to an applicable  index.  The coupon rate on these CMOs will increase as general interest rates
decrease. These are usually much more volatile than fixed rate CMOs or floating rate CMOs.

         |X| U.S.  Government  Securities.  These are  securities  issued or guaranteed by the U.S.  Treasury or other
U.S.  government  agencies  or  federally-chartered   corporate  entities  referred  to  as  "instrumentalities."  The
obligations  of U.S.  government  agencies  or  instrumentalities  in  which  the Fund  can  invest  may or may not be
guaranteed or supported by the "full faith and credit" of the United States.  "Full faith and credit" means  generally
that the taxing power of the U.S.  government  is pledged to the payment of interest  and  repayment of principal on a
security.  If a security is not backed by the full faith and credit of the United  States,  the owner of the  security
must look  principally to the agency  issuing the  obligation  for repayment.  The owner might not be able to assert a
claim against the United States if the issuing agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment.

              o U.S.  Treasury  Obligations.  These include  Treasury bills (which have maturities of one year or less
when  issued),  Treasury  notes (which have  maturities  of more than one year and up to ten years when  issued),  and
Treasury  bonds (which have  maturities of more than ten years when  issued).  Treasury  securities  are backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States as to timely  payments of interest and repayments of principal.  Other U.S.
Treasury  obligations  the Fund can buy  include U. S.  Treasury  securities  that have been  "stripped"  by a Federal
Reserve Bank,  zero-coupon U.S.  Treasury  securities  described below, and Treasury  Inflation-Protection  Securities
("TIPS").

              o Obligations  Issued or  Guaranteed by U.S.  Government  Agencies or  Instrumentalities.  These include
direct obligations and  mortgage-related  securities that have different levels of credit support from the government.
Some are  supported  by the full  faith and  credit  of the U.S.  government,  such as  Government  National  Mortgage
Association  pass-through  mortgage certificates (called "Ginnie Maes"). Some are supported by the right of the issuer
to borrow from the U.S. Treasury under certain  circumstances,  such as Federal National Mortgage  Association  bonds.
Others  are  supported  only by the  credit of the  entity  that  issued  them,  such as  Federal  Home Loan  Mortgage
Corporation obligations.

              o  Mortgage-Related  U.S.  Government  Securities.  These include  interests in pools of  residential or
commercial  mortgages,  in  the  form  of  collateralized  mortgage  obligations  and  other  "pass-through"  mortgage
securities.  CMOs that are U.S.  government  securities  have  collateral to secure payment of interest and principal.
They may be issued in different series with different  interest rates and maturities.  The collateral is either in the
form of mortgage  pass-through  certificates  issued or guaranteed  by a U.S.  agency or  instrumentality  or mortgage
loans  insured  by a U.S.  government  agency.  The  Fund can have  significant  amounts  of its  assets  invested  in
mortgage-related U.S. government securities.

         The prices and yields of CMOs are determined,  in part, by assumptions  about the cash flows from the rate of
payments of the underlying  mortgages.  Changes in interest rates may cause the rate of expected  prepayments of those
mortgages to change.  In general,  prepayments  increase when general  interest  rates fall and decrease when interest
rates rise.

         If  prepayments  of mortgages  underlying a CMO occur faster than  expected  when  interest  rates fall,  the
market  value  and  yield of the CMO will be  reduced.  Additionally,  the Fund may have to  reinvest  the  prepayment
proceeds in other securities paying interest at lower rates, which could reduce the Fund's yield.

         When interest  rates rise rapidly,  if prepayments  occur more slowly than expected,  a short- or medium-term
CMO can in effect become a long-term  security,  subject to greater  fluctuations  in value.  These are the prepayment
risks  described  above and can make the  prices of CMOs very  volatile  when  interest  rates  change.  The prices of
longer-term debt securities tend to fluctuate more than those of shorter-term  debt  securities.  That volatility will
affect the Fund's share prices.

                  o Commercial  (Privately-Issued)  Mortgage  Related  Securities.  The Fund can invest in  commercial
mortgage-related  securities  issued by  private  entities.  Generally  these  are  multi-class  debt or  pass-through
certificates  secured by mortgage loans on commercial  properties.  They are subject to the credit risk of the issuer.
These  securities  typically are structured to provide  protection to investors in senior classes from possible losses
on the  underlying  loans.  They do so by having  holders  of  subordinated  classes  take the first loss if there are
defaults  on the  underlying  loans.  They may also be  protected  to some  extent  by  guarantees,  reserve  funds or
additional collateralization mechanisms.

              |X|  Asset-Backed  Securities.  Asset-backed  securities  are  fractional  interests in pools of assets,
typically  accounts  receivable or consumer loans. They are issued by trusts or  special-purpose  corporations.  These
securities  are subject to  prepayment  risks and the risk of default by the issuer as well as by the borrowers of the
underlying  loans in the pool. They are similar to  mortgage-backed  securities,  described above, and are backed by a
pool of assets that consist of  obligations  of individual  borrowers.  The income from the pool is passed  through to
the holders of participation  interest in the pools. The pools may offer a credit  enhancement,  such as a bank letter
of credit, to try to reduce the risks that the underlying debtors will not pay their obligations when due.


         The value of an  asset-backed  security  is  affected  by changes  in the  market's  perception  of the asset
backing the security,  the  creditworthiness of the servicing agent for the loan pool, the originator of the loans, or
the financial  institution  providing any credit enhancement,  and is also affected if any credit enhancement has been
exhausted.  The risks of investing in asset-backed  securities are ultimately  related to payment of consumer loans by
the individual  borrowers.  As a purchaser of an asset-backed  security,  the Fund would generally have no recourse to
the entity  that  originated  the loans in the event of default by a  borrower.  The  underlying  loans are subject to
prepayments,  which may shorten the weighted  average life of asset-backed  securities and may lower their return,  in
the same manner as in the case of mortgage-backed securities and CMOs, described above.

         |X|  Participation  Interests.  The Fund  can  invest  in  participation  interests,  subject  to the  Fund's
limitation on investments in illiquid  investments.  A participation  interest is an undivided interest in a loan made
by the issuing  financial  institution in the proportion  that the buyer's  participation  interest bears to the total
principal  amount of the loan.  Not more than 5% of the Fund's net assets can be invested in  participation  interests
of the same  borrower.  The issuing  financial  institution  may have no  obligation to the Fund other than to pay the
Fund the proportionate amount of the principal and interest payments it receives.

         Participation  interests are primarily  dependent  upon the  creditworthiness  of the borrowing  corporation,
which is obligated to make  payments of principal  and interest on the loan.  There is a risk that a borrower may have
difficulty  making  payments.  If a borrower  fails to pay scheduled  interest or principal  payments,  the Fund could
experience  a reduction  in its income.  The value of that  participation  interest  might also  decline,  which could
affect  the net  asset  value of the  Fund's  shares.  If the  issuing  financial  institution  fails to  perform  its
obligations under the participation  agreement,  the Fund might incur costs and delays in realizing payment and suffer
a loss of principal and/or interest.

         |X| Foreign  Securities.  "Foreign  securities"  include equity and debt  securities  issued or guaranteed by
companies  organized  under  the laws of  countries  other  than the  United  States  and debt  securities  issued  or
guaranteed by governments  other than the U.S.  government or by foreign  supra-national  entities,  such as the World
Bank.  Those  securities may be traded on foreign  securities  exchanges or in the foreign  over-the-counter  markets.
Securities  denominated  in  foreign  currencies  issued  by  U.S.  companies  are  also  considered  to  be  "foreign
securities."  The Fund expects to have investments in foreign securities as part of its normal investment strategy.

         Securities of foreign  issuers that are represented by American  Depository  Receipts or that are listed on a
U.S. securities exchange or traded in the U.S.  over-the-counter  markets are not considered "foreign  securities" for
the purpose of the Fund's investment  allocations,  because they are not subject to many of the special considerations
and risks, discussed below, that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

         Investing in foreign  securities offers potential  benefits not available from investing solely in securities
of  domestic  issuers.  They  include  the  opportunity  to invest in  foreign  issuers  that  appear to offer  income
potential,  or in foreign  countries with economic policies or business cycles different from those of the U.S., or to
reduce  fluctuations  in  portfolio  value by taking  advantage  of foreign  securities  markets that do not move in a
manner parallel to U.S.  markets.  The Fund will hold foreign currency only in connection with the purchase or sale of
foreign securities.

              o  Foreign  Debt  Obligations.  The debt  obligations  of a  foreign  government  and its  agencies  and
instrumentalities  may or may not be  supported by the full faith and credit of the foreign  government.  The Fund can
buy  securities  issued by certain  "supra-national"  entities,  which  include  entities  designated  or supported by
governments to promote  economic  reconstruction  or  development,  international  banking  organizations  and related
government  agencies.  Examples are the International  Bank for  Reconstruction  and Development  (commonly called the
"World Bank"), the Asian Development bank and the Inter-American Development Bank.

         The governmental  members of these  supra-national  entities are  "stockholders"  that typically make capital
contributions  and may be  committed to make  additional  capital  contributions  if the entity is unable to repay its
borrowings.  A  supra-national  entity's  lending  activities  may be limited to a  percentage  of its total  capital,
reserves and net income.  There can be no assurance that the constituent  foreign governments will continue to be able
or willing to honor their capitalization commitments for those entities.

         The Fund can  invest  in U.S.  dollar-denominated  "Brady  Bonds."  These  foreign  debt  obligations  may be
fixed-rate par bonds or floating-rate  discount bonds.  They are generally  collateralized  in full as to repayment of
principal at maturity by U.S. Treasury  zero-coupon  obligations that have the same maturity as the Brady Bonds. Brady
Bonds can be viewed as having three or four valuation  components:  (i) the  collateralized  repayment of principal at
final maturity;  (ii) the collateralized  interest payments;  (iii) the uncollateralized  interest payments;  and (iv)
any  uncollateralized  repayment of principal at maturity.  Those  uncollateralized  amounts constitute what is called
the "residual risk."

         If there is a default on collateralized  Brady Bonds resulting in acceleration of the payment  obligations of
the issuer,  the  zero-coupon  U.S.  Treasury  securities  held as collateral for the payment of principal will not be
distributed to investors,  nor will those obligations be sold to distribute the proceeds.  The collateral will be held
by the collateral  agent to the scheduled  maturity of the defaulted Brady Bonds. The defaulted bonds will continue to
remain  outstanding,  and the face amount of the  collateral  will equal the principal  payments which would have then
been due on the Brady  Bonds in the normal  course.  Because of the  residual  risk of Brady  Bonds and the history of
defaults  with  respect to  commercial  bank loans by public and private  entities of countries  issuing  Brady Bonds,
Brady Bonds are considered speculative investments.

         Because  the Fund can  purchase  securities  denominated  in foreign  currencies,  a change in the value of a
foreign  currency  against the U.S. dollar could result in a change in the amount of income the Fund has available for
distribution.  Because a portion of the Fund's investment income may be received in foreign currencies,  the Fund will
be required to compute its income in U.S.  dollars for  distribution  to  shareholders,  and  therefore  the Fund will
absorb the cost of currency  fluctuations.  After the Fund has distributed income,  subsequent foreign currency losses
may result in the Fund's  having  distributed  more  income in a  particular  fiscal  period than was  available  from
investment income, which could result in a return of capital to shareholders.


              o Risks of Foreign  Investing.  Investments in foreign  securities may offer special  opportunities  for
investing but also present special additional risks and  considerations  not typically  associated with investments in
domestic securities. Some of these additional risks are:

o        reduction of income by foreign taxes;
o        fluctuation  in value of foreign  investments  due to changes in currency rates or currency  devaluation,  or
                    currency control regulations (for example, currency blockage);
o        transaction charges for currency exchange;
o        lack of public information about foreign issuers;
o        lack of uniform accounting,  auditing and financial  reporting  standards in foreign countries  comparable to
                    those applicable to domestic issuers;
o        less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;
o        greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the U.S.;
o        less governmental regulation of foreign issuers, securities exchanges and brokers than in the U.S.;
o        greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;
o        higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;
o        increased  risks of delays in  settlement of portfolio  transactions  or loss of  certificates  for portfolio
                    securities;
o        possibilities  in some countries of  expropriation,  confiscatory  taxation,  political,  financial or social
                    instability or adverse diplomatic developments; and
o        unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign economies.

         In the past,  U.S.  government  policies  have  discouraged  certain  investments  abroad by U.S.  investors,
through taxation or other restrictions, and it is possible that such restrictions could be re-imposed.

              o Special  Risks of Emerging  Markets.  Emerging and  developing  markets  abroad may also offer special
opportunities  for investing  but have greater risks than more  developed  foreign  markets,  such as those in Europe,
Canada,  Australia,  New  Zealand  and  Japan.  There may be even less  liquidity  in their  securities  markets,  and
settlements  of purchases and sales of securities  may be subject to  additional  delays.  They are subject to greater
risks of limitations  on the  repatriation  of income and profits  because of currency  restrictions  imposed by local
governments.  Those  countries may also be subject to the risk of greater  political and economic  instability,  which
can greatly  affect the  volatility  of prices of  securities  in those  countries.  The Manager will  consider  these
factors when  evaluating  securities in these markets,  and the Fund currently does not expect to invest a substantial
portion of its assets in emerging markets.

Other  Investment  Techniques and Strategies.  In seeking its objective,  the Fund may from time to time use the types
of investment  strategies and investments  described  below. It is not required to use all of these  strategies at all
times, and at times may not use them.

         |X| Zero-Coupon  Securities.  The Fund can buy zero-coupon and  delayed-interest  securities,  and "stripped"
securities.  Stripped  securities are debt securities  whose interest coupons are separated from the security and sold
separately.  The Fund can buy different types of zero-coupon or stripped securities,  including, among others, foreign
debt  securities and U.S.  Treasury notes or bonds that have been stripped of their interest  coupons,  U.S.  Treasury
bills issued without interest coupons, and certificates representing interests in stripped securities.
         Zero-coupon  securities  do not make  periodic  interest  payments and are sold at a deep discount from their
face value. The buyer  recognizes a rate of return  determined by the gradual  appreciation of the security,  which is
redeemed at face value on a specified  maturity date. This discount  depends on the time remaining until maturity,  as
well as  prevailing  interest  rates,  the  liquidity  of the security  and the credit  quality of the issuer.  In the
absence of threats to the issuer's credit quality,  the discount typically  decreases as the maturity date approaches.
Some zero-coupon  securities are convertible,  in that they are zero-coupon  securities until a predetermined date, at
which time they convert to a security with a specified coupon rate.

         Because  zero-coupon  securities pay no interest and compound  semi-annually at the rate fixed at the time of
their issuance,  their value is generally more volatile than the value of other debt securities.  Their value may fall
more dramatically  than the value of  interest-bearing  securities when interest rates rise. When prevailing  interest
rates fall, zero-coupon securities tend to rise more rapidly in value because they have a fixed rate of return.

         The  Fund's  investment  in  zero-coupon  securities  may  cause  the  Fund  to  recognize  income  and  make
distributions  to shareholders  before it receives any cash payments on the zero-coupon  investment.  To generate cash
to satisfy those  distribution  requirements,  the Fund may have to sell portfolio  securities that it otherwise might
have continued to hold or to use cash flows from other sources such as the sale of Fund shares.

         |X|  "Stripped"  Mortgage-Related  Securities.  The Fund can invest in stripped  mortgage-related  securities
that are created by segregating  the cash flows from  underlying  mortgage loans or mortgage  securities to create two
or more new securities.  Each has a specified percentage of the underlying  security's principal or interest payments.
These are a form of derivative investment.

         Mortgage  securities may be partially  stripped so that each class receives some interest and some principal.
However,  they may be completely  stripped.  In that case all of the interest is distributed to holders of one type of
security,  known as an  "interest-only"  security,  or "I/O," and all of the  principal is  distributed  to holders of
another  type of  security,  known as a  "principal-only"  security or "P/O."  Strips can be created for pass  through
certificates or CMOs.

         The yields to maturity of I/Os and P/Os are very sensitive to principal  repayments  (including  prepayments)
on the  underlying  mortgages.  If the  underlying  mortgages  experience  greater  than  anticipated  prepayments  of
principal,  the Fund might not fully recoup its  investment in an I/O based on those assets.  If underlying  mortgages
experience  less than  anticipated  prepayments  of  principal,  the  yield on the P/Os  based on them  could  decline
substantially.

         |X| Floating Rate and Variable Rate  Obligations.  Variable rate  obligations  may have a demand feature that
allows the Fund to tender the  obligation to the issuer or a third party prior to its  maturity.  The tender may be at
par value plus accrued interest, according to the terms of the obligations.

         The interest rate on a floating rate note is adjusted  automatically  according to a stated prevailing market
rate, such as a bank's prime rate, the 91-day U.S.  Treasury Bill rate, or some other standard.  The instrument's rate
is adjusted  automatically  each time the base rate is  adjusted.  The interest  rate on a variable  rate note is also
based on a stated  prevailing  market  rate but is adjusted  automatically  at  specified  intervals.  Generally,  the
changes in the interest  rate on such  securities  reduce the  fluctuation  in their market value.  As interest  rates
decrease or  increase,  the  potential  for capital  appreciation  or  depreciation  is less than that for  fixed-rate
obligations  of the same  maturity.  The  Manager  may  determine  that an  unrated  floating  rate or  variable  rate
obligation  meets the Fund's quality  standards by reason of being backed by a letter of credit or guarantee issued by
a bank that meets those quality standards.

         Floating  rate and  variable  rate  demand  notes that have a stated  maturity in excess of one year may have
features  that permit the holder to recover the principal  amount of the  underlying  security at specified  intervals
not  exceeding  one year and upon no more  than 30 days'  notice.  The  issuer  of that  type of note  normally  has a
corresponding  right in its discretion,  after a given period, to prepay the outstanding  principal amount of the note
plus accrued interest. Generally the issuer must provide a specified number of days' notice to the holder.

         Step-coupon  bonds have a coupon interest rate that changes  periodically  during the life of the security on
predetermined dates that are set when the security is issued.

         |X| "When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery"  Transactions.  The Fund may invest in securities on a "when-issued"
basis and may purchase or sell securities on a  "delayed-delivery"  basis.  When-issued and delayed-delivery are terms
that refer to securities  whose terms and indenture  are  available and for which a market  exists,  but which are not
available for immediate delivery.

         When such  transactions are negotiated,  the price (which is generally  expressed in yield terms) is fixed at
the time the commitment is made.  Delivery and payment for the  securities  take place at a later date. The securities
are subject to change in value from market  fluctuations  during the period  until  settlement.  The value at delivery
may be less than the purchase  price.  For example,  changes in interest rates in a direction other than that expected
by the Manager before  settlement  will affect the value of such  securities and may cause a loss to the Fund.  During
the period between  purchase and settlement,  no payment is made by the Fund to the issuer and no interest  accrues to
the Fund from the investment until it receives the security at settlement.

         The Fund may engage in when-issued  transactions  to secure what the Manager  considers to be an advantageous
price  and  yield  at the  time  the  obligation  is  entered  into.  When  the  Fund  enters  into a  when-issued  or
delayed-delivery  transaction,  it relies on the other party to  complete  the  transaction.  Its failure to do so may
cause the Fund to lose the  opportunity  to obtain  the  security  at a price and yield the  Manager  considers  to be
advantageous.

         When the Fund  engages  in  when-issued  and  delayed-delivery  transactions,  it does so for the  purpose of
acquiring or selling  securities  consistent  with its investment  objective and policies or for delivery  pursuant to
options  contracts it has entered into, and not for the purpose of investment  leverage.  Although the Fund will enter
into  delayed-delivery  or when-issued  purchase  transactions to acquire  securities,  it may dispose of a commitment
prior to  settlement.  If the Fund  chooses to dispose of the right to  acquire a  when-issued  security  prior to its
acquisition  or to dispose of its right to delivery or receive  against a forward  commitment,  it may incur a gain or
loss.

         At  the  time  the  Fund  makes  the  commitment  to  purchase  or  sell  a  security  on  a  when-issued  or
delayed-delivery  basis, it records the  transaction on its books and reflects the value of the security  purchased in
determining the Fund's net asset value. In a sale transaction,  it records the proceeds to be received.  The Fund will
identify on its books  liquid  assets at least equal in value to the value of the Fund's  purchase  commitments  until
the Fund pays for the investment.

         When-issued  and  delayed-delivery  transactions  can be used by the Fund as a defensive  technique  to hedge
against  anticipated  changes in interest  rates and prices.  For instance,  in periods of rising  interest  rates and
falling  prices,  the Fund might sell  securities in its portfolio on a forward  commitment  basis to attempt to limit
its exposure to anticipated  falling prices.  In periods of falling  interest rates and rising prices,  the Fund might
sell portfolio  securities and purchase the same or similar securities on a when-issued or  delayed-delivery  basis to
obtain the benefit of currently higher cash yields.

         |X| Repurchase Agreements.  The Fund can acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements.  It might do so
for liquidity  purposes to meet  anticipated  redemptions  of Fund shares,  or pending the  investment of the proceeds
from  sales of Fund  shares,  or pending  the  settlement  of  portfolio  securities  transactions,  or for  temporary
defensive purposes.

         In a repurchase  transaction,  the Fund buys a security from, and  simultaneously  resells it to, an approved
vendor for delivery on an  agreed-upon  future date.  The resale  price  exceeds the purchase  price by an amount that
reflects an agreed-upon  interest rate  effective for the period during which the  repurchase  agreement is in effect.
Approved vendors include U.S.  commercial  banks,  U.S.  branches of foreign banks, or  broker-dealers  that have been
designated as primary dealers in government  securities.  They must meet credit  requirements  set by the Manager from
time to time.

         The  majority of these  transactions  run from day to day,  and  delivery  pursuant  to the resale  typically
occurs  within  one to five days of the  purchase.  Repurchase  agreements  having a  maturity  beyond  seven days are
subject to the Fund's  limits on holding  illiquid  investments.  The Fund will not enter into a repurchase  agreement
that causes more than 10% of its net assets to be subject to  repurchase  agreements  having a maturity  beyond  seven
days.  There is no limit on the amount of the Fund's net assets that may be subject to  repurchase  agreements  having
maturities of seven days or less for defensive purposes.

         Repurchase  agreements,  considered  "loans"  under the  Investment  Company Act, are  collateralized  by the
underlying security.  The Fund's repurchase  agreements require that at all times while the repurchase agreement is in
effect,  the value of the collateral must equal or exceed the repurchase  price to fully  collateralize  the repayment
obligation.  However,  if the vendor fails to pay the resale price on the delivery  date,  the Fund may incur costs in
disposing  of the  collateral  and may  experience  losses if there is any delay in its  ability to do so. The Manager
will  monitor the vendor's  creditworthiness  to confirm that the vendor is  financially  sound and will  continuously
monitor the collateral's value.

         |X| Illiquid and Restricted  Securities.  Under the policies and  procedures  established by the Fund's Board
of Trustees,  the Manager  determines the liquidity of certain of the Fund's  investments.  To enable the Fund to sell
its holdings of a restricted  security not  registered  under the  Securities  Act of 1933, the Fund may have to cause
those  securities to be registered.  The expenses of registering  restricted  securities may be negotiated by the Fund
with the issuer at the time the Fund buys the  securities.  When the Fund must arrange  registration  because the Fund
wishes to sell the  security,  a  considerable  period may elapse  between  the time the  decision is made to sell the
security  and the time the  security  is  registered  so that the Fund could sell it. The Fund would bear the risks of
any downward price fluctuation during that period.

         The  Fund  may  also  acquire  restricted  securities  through  private  placements.  Those  securities  have
contractual  restrictions  on their public resale.  Those  restrictions  may make it more difficult to value them, and
might limit the Fund's  ability to dispose of the  securities  and might lower the amount the Fund could  realize upon
the sale.

         The Fund has  limitations  that apply to purchases of  restricted  securities,  as stated in the  Prospectus.
Those  percentage  restrictions  do not  limit  purchases  of  restricted  securities  that are  eligible  for sale to
qualified  institutional  purchasers  under Rule 144A of the  Securities  Act of 1933, if those  securities  have been
determined  to be liquid by the Manager  under  Board-approved  guidelines.  Those  guidelines  take into  account the
trading  activity for such securities and the availability of reliable pricing  information,  among other factors.  If
there is a lack of trading  interest in a particular  Rule 144A security,  the Fund's holdings of that security may be
considered to be illiquid.

         Illiquid  securities  include  repurchase  agreements  maturing  in more than  seven  days and  participation
interests that do not have puts exercisable within seven days.

         |X| Forward  Rolls.  The Fund can enter into "forward  roll"  transactions  with respect to  mortgage-related
securities.  In this type of transaction,  the Fund sells a  mortgage-related  security to a buyer and  simultaneously
agrees to  repurchase a similar  security  (the same type of security,  and having the same coupon and  maturity) at a
later date at a set price.  The  securities  that are  repurchased  will have the same interest rate as the securities
that are sold,  but typically  will be  collateralized  by different  pools of mortgages  (with  different  prepayment
histories)  than the securities  that have been sold.  Proceeds from the sale are invested in short-term  instruments,
such as repurchase  agreements.  The income from those  investments,  plus the fees from the forward roll transaction,
are expected to generate income to the Fund in excess of the yield on the securities that have been sold.

         The Fund will only enter into "covered"  rolls. To assure its future payment of the purchase price,  the Fund
will identify on its books liquid assets in an amount equal to the payment obligation under the roll.

         These  transactions have risks.  During the period between the sale and the repurchase,  the Fund will not be
entitled to receive  interest and principal  payments on the  securities  that have been sold. It is possible that the
market  value of the  securities  the Fund  sells  might  decline  below the price at which the Fund is  obligated  to
repurchase securities.

         |X|  Investments  in Equity  Securities.  Under  normal  market  conditions  the Fund can invest a portion of
assets in common stocks,  preferred  stocks,  warrants (which might be acquired as part of a "unit" of securities that
includes debt securities) and convertible debt securities,  which in some cases are considered  "equity  equivalents."
However,  it does not currently  anticipate  investing  significant amounts of its assets in equity securities as part
of its normal  investment  strategy.  Certain  equity  securities  may be selected  because they may provide  dividend
income.

                  o Risks of Investing  in Stocks.  Stocks  fluctuate in price,  and their  short-term  volatility  at
times may be great. To the extent that the Fund invests in equity  securities,  the value of the Fund's portfolio will
be affected by changes in the stock markets.  Market risk can affect the Fund's net asset value per share,  which will
fluctuate as the values of the Fund's portfolio  securities  change.  The prices of individual  stocks do not all move
in the same direction uniformly or at the same time. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other.

         Other factors can affect a particular  stock's price,  such as poor earnings  reports by the issuer,  loss of
major customers,  major litigation  against the issuer, or changes in government  regulations  affecting the issuer or
its industry.

         The Fund can invest in  securities  of large  companies  and mid-size  companies,  but may also buy stocks of
small companies, which may have more volatile stock prices than large companies.

                  o  Convertible  Securities.  While  some  convertible  securities  are a form of debt  security,  in
certain cases their conversion  feature  (allowing  conversion into equity  securities)  causes them to be regarded by
the Manager more as "equity  equivalents."  As a result,  the rating  assigned to the security  might have less impact
on the  Manager's  investment  decision with respect to  convertible  securities  than in the case of  non-convertible
fixed-income  securities.  Convertible  debt  securities  are  subject to the  credit  risks and  interest  rate risks
described above in "Debt Securities."

         The value of a convertible  security is a function of its "investment  value" and its "conversion  value." If
the  investment  value  exceeds the  conversion  value,  the  security  will behave more like a debt  security and the
security's  price will likely  increase  when  interest  rates fall and  decrease  when  interest  rates rise.  If the
conversion value exceeds the investment  value,  the security will behave more like an equity security.  In that case,
it will likely sell at a premium  over its  conversion  value and its price will tend to fluctuate  directly  with the
price of the underlying security.

         To  determine  whether  convertible  securities  should be  regarded  as "equity  equivalents,"  the  Manager
examines the following factors:

(1)      whether,  at the option of the  investor,  the  convertible  security can be exchanged  for a fixed number of
                  shares of common stock of the issuer,
(2)      whether the issuer of the  convertible  securities  has  restated its earnings per share of common stock on a
                  fully diluted basis (considering the effect of conversion of the convertible securities), and
(3)      the extent to which the convertible  security may be a defensive "equity  substitute,"  providing the ability
                  to participate in any appreciation in the price of the issuer's common stock.

         |_| Rights and Warrants.  Warrants  basically are options to purchase  equity  securities at specific  prices
valid for a specific  period of time.  Their prices do not  necessarily  move parallel to the prices of the underlying
securities.  Rights are similar to warrants,  but normally have a short duration and are  distributed  directly by the
issuer to its  shareholders.  Rights and warrants have no voting rights,  receive no dividends and have no rights with
respect to the assets of the issuer.

         |_| Preferred  Stocks.  Preferred  stock,  unlike common stock,  has a stated  dividend rate payable from the
corporation's  earnings.  Preferred stock  dividends may be cumulative or  non-cumulative,  participating,  or auction
rate.  "Cumulative"  dividend  provisions  require  all or a  portion  of prior  unpaid  dividends  to be paid  before
dividends can be paid on the issuer's common stock.  Preferred stock may be  "participating"  stock,  which means that
it may be entitled to a dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain cases.

         If interest rates rise, the fixed dividend on preferred stocks may be less  attractive,  causing the price of
preferred  stocks to decline.  Preferred  stock may have  mandatory  sinking fund  provisions,  as well as  provisions
allowing  calls or  redemptions  prior to maturity,  which also have a negative  impact on prices when interest  rates
decline.  The rights of preferred stock on  distribution  of a corporation's  assets in the event of a liquidation are
generally  subordinate to the rights associated with a corporation's debt securities.  Preferred stock generally has a
preference  over  common  stock on the  distribution  of a  corporation's  assets in the event of  liquidation  of the
corporation.

         |X| Loans of  Portfolio  Securities.  To raise cash for income or liquidity  purposes,  the Fund can lend its
portfolio  securities to brokers,  dealers and other types of financial  institutions  approved by the Fund's Board of
Trustees.

         These  loans are limited to not more than 25% of the value of the Fund's  total  assets.  The Fund  currently
does not intend to engage in loans of  securities,  but if it does so,  such  loans  will not likely  exceed 5% of the
Fund's total assets.

         There are some risks in connection with securities  lending.  The Fund might  experience a delay in receiving
additional  collateral  to secure a loan, or a delay in recovery of the loaned  securities  if the borrower  defaults.
The Fund must receive collateral for a loan. Under current applicable  regulatory  requirements  (which are subject to
change),  on each business day the loan  collateral must be at least equal to the value of the loaned  securities.  It
must  consist  of  cash,  bank  letters  of  credit  or  securities  of  the  U.S.   government  or  its  agencies  or
instrumentalities,  or other  cash  equivalents  in  which  the Fund is  permitted  to  invest.  To be  acceptable  as
collateral,  letters of credit must obligate a bank to pay amounts  demanded by the Fund if the demand meets the terms
of the letter. The terms of the letter of credit and the issuing bank both must be satisfactory to the Fund.

         When it  lends  securities,  the  Fund  receives  amounts  equal  to the  dividends  or  interest  on  loaned
securities.  It also receives one or more of (a) negotiated  loan fees, (b) interest on securities used as collateral,
and (c) interest on any short-term debt securities  purchased with such loan  collateral.  Either type of interest may
be  shared  with the  borrower.  The Fund may also pay  reasonable  finder's,  custodian  and  administrative  fees in
connection  with these loans.  The terms of the Fund's  loans must meet  applicable  tests under the Internal  Revenue
Code and  must  permit  the  Fund to  reacquire  loaned  securities  on five  days'  notice  or in time to vote on any
important matter.

         |X|  Money  Market  Instruments.  The  following  is a brief  description  of the  types of the  U.S.  dollar
denominated  money market  securities  the Fund can invest in. Money market  securities are  high-quality,  short-term
debt  instruments  that may be issued by the U.S.  government,  corporations,  banks or other entities.  They may have
fixed, variable or floating interest rates.

              o U.S. Government  Securities.  These include obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or
any of its agencies or instrumentalities, described above.

              o Bank Obligations.  The Fund can buy time deposits,  certificates of deposit and bankers'  acceptances.
They must be:

                 o  obligations  issued or  guaranteed by a domestic  bank  (including a foreign  branch of a domestic
                    bank) having total assets of at least U.S. $1 billion, or
o        obligations of a foreign bank with total assets of at least U.S. $1 billion.

         "Banks" include commercial banks,  savings banks and savings and loan  associations,  which may or may not be
members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

              o Commercial  Paper.  The Fund can invest in commercial paper if it is rated within the top three rating
categories of Standard & Poor's and Moody's or other rating organizations.

         If the paper is not rated,  it may be  purchased if the Manager  determines  that it is  comparable  to rated
commercial paper in the top three rating categories of national rating organizations.

         The Fund can buy commercial paper, including U.S.  dollar-denominated  securities of foreign branches of U.S.
banks,  issued by other  entities if the  commercial  paper is  guaranteed  as to  principal  and  interest by a bank,
government or corporation whose certificates of deposit or commercial paper may otherwise be purchased by the Fund.

                  o Variable  Amount Master Demand Notes.  Master demand notes are corporate  obligations  that permit
the investment of fluctuating amounts by the Fund at varying rates of interest under direct  arrangements  between the
Fund,  as lender,  and the  borrower.  They permit daily  changes in the amounts  borrowed.  The Fund has the right to
increase the amount under the note at any time up to the full amount  provided by the note  agreement,  or to decrease
the amount.  The borrower may prepay up to the full amount of the note without penalty.  These notes may or may not be
backed by bank letters of credit.

         Because  these notes are direct  lending  arrangements  between the lender and  borrower,  it is not expected
that there  will be a trading  market for them.  There is no  secondary  market  for these  notes,  although  they are
redeemable (and thus are immediately  repayable by the borrower) at principal amount,  plus accrued  interest,  at any
time.  Accordingly,  the Fund's  right to redeem  such notes is  dependent  upon the  ability of the  borrower  to pay
principal and interest on demand.

         The Fund has no  limitations  on the type of issuer  from whom these  notes will be  purchased.  However,  in
connection  with such  purchases and on an ongoing basis,  the Manager will consider the earning power,  cash flow and
other liquidity ratios of the issuer,  and its ability to pay principal and interest on demand,  including a situation
in which all holders of such notes made demand  simultaneously.  Investments in master demand notes are subject to the
limitation on investments by the Fund in illiquid securities,  described in the Prospectus.  Currently,  the Fund does
not intend that its investments in variable amount master demand notes will exceed 5% of its total assets.

         |X|  Derivatives.  The Fund can invest in a variety of derivative  investments  to seek income or for hedging
purposes.  Some derivative  investments the Fund can use are the hedging instruments described below in this Statement
of Additional Information.

         Among the  derivative  investments  the Fund can invest in are  "index-linked"  or  "currency-linked"  notes.
Principal  and/or  interest  payments  on  index-linked  notes  depend  on the  performance  of an  underlying  index.
Currency-indexed  securities are typically  short-term or intermediate-term  debt securities.  Their value at maturity
or the rates at which they pay income are  determined  by the change in value of the U.S.  dollar  against one or more
foreign  currencies or an index. In some cases,  these securities may pay an amount at maturity based on a multiple of
the amount of the relative currency  movements.  This type of index security offers the potential for increased income
or  principal  payments but at a greater  risk of loss than a typical  debt  security of the same  maturity and credit
quality.

         Other  derivative  investments the Fund can use include "debt  exchangeable for common stock" of an issuer or
"equity-linked  debt  securities"  of an issuer.  At maturity,  the debt security is exchanged for common stock of the
issuer or it is payable in an amount  based on the price of the issuer's  common  stock at the time of maturity.  Both
alternatives  present a risk that the amount  payable at maturity will be less than the  principal  amount of the debt
because the price of the issuer's common stock might not be as high as the Manager expected.

         |X| Hedging.  The Fund can use hedging  instruments  although it is not  obligated to use them in seeking its
objective.  To attempt to protect against declines in the market value of the Fund's portfolio,  to permit the Fund to
retain  unrealized  gains in the value of  portfolio  securities  which have  appreciated,  or to  facilitate  selling
securities for investment reasons, the Fund could:
o        sell futures contracts,
o        buy puts on futures or on securities, or
o        write covered calls on securities or futures.  Covered calls may also be used to increase the Fund's  income,
                but the Manager does not expect to engage extensively in that practice.

         The Fund can use hedging to  establish  a position in the  securities  market as a temporary  substitute  for
purchasing  particular  securities.  In that case,  the Fund would  normally seek to purchase the  securities and then
terminate  that  hedging  position.  The Fund might also use this type of hedge to  attempt  to  protect  against  the
possibility that its portfolio  securities would not be fully included in a rise in value of the market.  To do so the
Fund could:
o        buy futures, or
o        buy calls on futures or on securities.

         The Fund is not  obligated  to use  hedging  instruments,  even  though  it is  permitted  to use them in the
Manager's  discretion,  as described below. The Fund's strategy of hedging with futures and options on futures will be
incidental to the Fund's  activities in the underlying cash market.  The particular  hedging  instruments the Fund can
use are described  below.  The Fund may employ new hedging  instruments  and strategies  when they are  developed,  if
those  investment  methods are consistent with the Fund's  investment  objective and are permissible  under applicable
regulations governing the Fund.

                  o Futures.  The Fund can buy and sell futures  contracts  that relate to (1)  broadly-based  bond or
other  security  indices (these are referred to as "financial  futures"),  (2)  commodities  (these are referred to as
"commodity  futures"),  (3) debt  securities  (these are  referred to as  "interest  rate  futures"),  and (4) foreign
currencies (these are referred to as "forward contracts").

         A  broadly-based  stock index is used as the basis for  trading  stock index  futures.  In some cases,  these
futures may be based on stocks of issuers in a  particular  industry  or group of  industries.  A stock index  assigns
relative values to the securities  included in the index and its value  fluctuates in response to the changes in value
of the  underlying  securities.  A stock index cannot be purchased or sold  directly.  Bond index  futures are similar
contracts  based on the future value of the basket of securities  that comprise the index.  These  contracts  obligate
the seller to deliver,  and the purchaser to take, cash to settle the futures  transaction.  There is no delivery made
of the  underlying  securities  to settle the futures  obligation.  Either  party may also settle the  transaction  by
entering into an offsetting contract.

         An interest  rate future  obligates  the seller to deliver  (and the  purchaser  to take) cash or a specified
type of debt security to settle the futures  transaction.  Either party could also enter into an  offsetting  contract
to close out the position.

         The Fund can invest a portion of its assets in commodity  futures  contracts.  Commodity futures may be based
upon commodities  within five main commodity groups:  (1) energy,  which includes crude oil, natural gas, gasoline and
heating oil; (2) livestock,  which includes cattle and hogs; (3) agriculture,  which includes wheat,  corn,  soybeans,
cotton,  coffee, sugar and cocoa; (4) industrial metals, which includes aluminum,  copper, lead, nickel, tin and zinc;
and (5) precious metals,  which includes gold,  platinum and silver.  The Fund may purchase and sell commodity futures
contracts,  options on futures  contracts and options and futures on commodity indices with respect to these five main
commodity groups and the individual commodities within each group, as well as other types of commodities.

         No money is paid or received by the Fund on the purchase or sale of a future.  Upon  entering  into a futures
transaction,  the Fund will be required to deposit an initial  margin  payment  with the futures  commission  merchant
(the "futures  broker").  Initial  margin  payments  will be deposited  with the Fund's  custodian  bank in an account
registered  in the futures  broker's  name.  However,  the futures  broker can gain access to that  account only under
specified  conditions.  As the  future is marked to market  (that is,  its value on the Fund's  books is  changed)  to
reflect changes in its market value,  subsequent margin payments,  called variation margin,  will be paid to or by the
futures broker daily.

         At any time prior to  expiration  of the  future,  the Fund may elect to close out its  position by taking an
opposite  position,  at which time a final  determination  of variation margin is made and any additional cash must be
paid by or released to the Fund.  Any loss or gain on the future is then  realized by the Fund for tax  purposes.  All
futures transactions,  except forward contracts,  are effected through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange on
which the contracts are traded.

                  o Put and Call  Options.  The Fund can buy and sell certain  kinds of put options  ("puts") and call
options ("calls").  The Fund can buy and sell  exchange-traded and  over-the-counter  put and call options,  including
index options,  securities options,  currency options,  commodities options, and options on the other types of futures
described above.

                      o Writing  Covered Call Options.  The Fund can write (that is, sell) covered calls.  If the Fund
sells a call  option,  it must be  covered.  That means the Fund must own the  security  subject to the call while the
call is  outstanding,  or, for calls on futures and indices,  the call may be covered by segregating  liquid assets to
enable the Fund to satisfy its  obligations  if the call is  exercised.  Up to 50% of the Fund's  total  assets may be
subject to calls.

         When the Fund  writes a call on a  security,  it  receives  cash (a  premium).  The Fund  agrees  to sell the
underlying  security to a purchaser of a  corresponding  call on the same  security  during the call period at a fixed
exercise  price  regardless of market price changes  during the call period.  The call period is usually not more than
nine months.  The exercise  price may differ from the market price of the underlying  security.  The Fund has the risk
of loss that the price of the  underlying  security  may decline  during the call  period.  That risk may be offset to
some extent by the premium the Fund receives.  If the value of the investment  does not rise above the call price,  it
is likely that the call will lapse  without  being  exercised.  In that case the Fund would keep the cash  premium and
the investment.

         When the Fund writes a call on an index,  it receives  cash (a premium).  If the buyer of the call  exercises
it,  the Fund  will pay an  amount of cash  equal to the  difference  between  the  closing  price of the call and the
exercise  price,  multiplied  by a specified  multiple that  determines  the total value of the call for each point of
difference.  If the value of the underlying  investment does not rise above the call price, it is likely that the call
will lapse without being exercised. In that case the Fund would keep the cash premium.

         The Fund's custodian bank, or a securities  depository  acting for the custodian bank, will act as the Fund's
escrow agent,  through the facilities of the Options Clearing  Corporation ("OCC"), as to the investments on which the
Fund has written calls traded on exchanges or as to other acceptable  escrow  securities.  In that way, no margin will
be required for such  transactions.  OCC will release the  securities on the expiration of the option or when the Fund
enters into a closing transaction.

         When the Fund writes an  over-the-counter  ("OTC") option,  it will enter into an arrangement  with a primary
U.S.  government  securities  dealer  which will  establish a formula  price at which the Fund will have the  absolute
right to repurchase that OTC option.  The formula price will generally be based on a multiple of the premium  received
for the option,  plus the amount by which the option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying  security
(that is, the option is "in the money").  When the Fund writes an OTC option,  it will treat as illiquid (for purposes
of its restriction on holding illiquid  securities) the  mark-to-market  value of any OTC option it holds,  unless the
option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.

         To terminate  its  obligation  on a call it has  written,  the Fund may  purchase a  corresponding  call in a
"closing  purchase  transaction."  The Fund will then realize a profit or loss,  depending upon whether the net of the
amount of the option  transaction  costs and the premium  received on the call the Fund wrote is more or less than the
price of the call the Fund purchases to close out the  transaction.  The Fund may realize a profit if the call expires
unexercised,  because  the Fund will retain the  underlying  security  and the  premium it received  when it wrote the
call. Any such profits are considered  short-term  capital gains for federal income tax purposes,  as are the premiums
on lapsed  calls.  When  distributed  by the Fund they are taxable as  ordinary  income.  If the Fund cannot  effect a
closing  purchase  transaction  due to the lack of a market,  it will have to hold the callable  securities  until the
call expires or is exercised.

         The Fund may also write  calls on a futures  contract  without  owning the  futures  contract  or  securities
deliverable  under  the  contract.  To do so,  at the time the  call is  written,  the  Fund  must  cover  the call by
identifying  on it books an  equivalent  dollar amount of liquid  assets.  The Fund will  identify  additional  liquid
assets on its books to cover the call if the value of the  identified  assets drops below 100% of the current value of
the future.  Because of this asset coverage  requirement,  in no circumstances would the Fund's receipt of an exercise
notice as to that  future  require  the Fund to deliver a futures  contract.  It would  simply put the Fund in a short
futures position, which is permitted by the Fund's hedging policies.

                      o Writing Put Options.  The Fund can sell put options on  securities,  broadly-based  securities
indices,  foreign  currencies and futures.  A put option on securities  gives the purchaser the right to sell, and the
writer the  obligation to buy, the  underlying  investment at the exercise  price during the option  period.  The Fund
will not write puts if, as a result,  more than 50% of the Fund's net assets  would be  required to be  segregated  to
cover such put options.

         If the Fund  writes a put,  the put must be covered by liquid  assets  identified  on the Fund's  books.  The
premium the Fund receives from writing a put represents a profit,  as long as the price of the  underlying  investment
remains equal to or above the exercise  price of the put.  However,  the Fund also assumes the  obligation  during the
option period to buy the underlying  investment from the buyer of the put at the exercise price,  even if the value of
the investment falls below the exercise price.

         If a put the Fund has  written  expires  unexercised,  the Fund  realizes a gain in the amount of the premium
less the  transaction  costs incurred.  If the put is exercised,  the Fund must fulfill its obligation to purchase the
underlying  investment at the exercise  price.  That price will usually  exceed the market value of the  investment at
that time. In that case, the Fund may incur a loss if it sells the underlying  investment.  That loss will be equal to
the sum of the sale price of the underlying  investment  and the premium  received minus the sum of the exercise price
and any transaction costs the Fund incurred.

         When writing a put option on a security,  to secure its  obligation  to pay for the  underlying  security the
Fund will deposit in escrow liquid assets with a value equal to or greater than the exercise  price of the  underlying
securities.  The Fund therefore  forgoes the  opportunity of investing the segregated  assets or writing calls against
those assets.

         As long as the Fund's  obligation as the put writer  continues,  it may be assigned an exercise notice by the
broker-dealer  through which the put was sold.  That notice will require the Fund to take  delivery of the  underlying
security and pay the exercise  price.  The Fund has no control over when it may be required to purchase the underlying
security,  since it may be assigned an exercise  notice at any time prior to the  termination of its obligation as the
writer of the put.  That  obligation  terminates  upon  expiration  of the put. It may also  terminate  if,  before it
receives an exercise notice,  the Fund effects a closing  purchase  transaction by purchasing a put of the same series
as it sold. Once the Fund has been assigned an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction.

         The Fund may  decide to effect a closing  purchase  transaction  to  realize a profit on an  outstanding  put
option it has written or to prevent the underlying  security from being put. Effecting a closing purchase  transaction
will also permit the Fund to write  another put option on the  security,  or to sell the security and use the proceeds
from the sale for other  investments.  The Fund will  realize  a profit  or loss from a closing  purchase  transaction
depending  on whether the cost of the  transaction  is less or more than the  premium  received  from  writing the put
option.  Any profits from writing puts are  considered  short-term  capital gains for federal tax  purposes,  and when
distributed by the Fund, are taxable as ordinary income.

                  o Purchasing  Calls and Puts. The Fund can purchase calls on  securities,  broadly-based  securities
indices,  foreign  currencies and futures.  It may do so to protect against the possibility  that the Fund's portfolio
will not  participate in an  anticipated  rise in the  securities  market.  When the Fund buys a call (other than in a
closing purchase  transaction),  it pays a premium. The Fund then has the right to buy the underlying  investment from
a seller of a corresponding call on the same investment during the call period at a fixed exercise price.

         The Fund benefits  only if it sells the call at a profit or if,  during the call period,  the market price of
the underlying  investment is above the sum of the call price plus the transaction  costs and the premium paid for the
call and the  Fund  exercises  the  call.  If the Fund  does not  exercise  the call or sell it  (whether  or not at a
profit),  the call will become  worthless at its expiration date. In that case the Fund will have paid the premium but
lost the right to purchase the underlying investment.

         The Fund can buy puts on  securities,  broadly-based  securities  indices,  foreign  currencies  and futures,
whether or not it owns the underlying  investment.  When the Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium and, except as to
puts on indices,  has the right to sell the underlying  investment to a seller of a put on a corresponding  investment
during the put period at a fixed exercise price.

         Buying a put on  securities  or futures the Fund owns  enables the Fund to attempt to protect  itself  during
the put period  against a decline in the value of the  underlying  investment  below the exercise price by selling the
underlying  investment  at the  exercise  price  to a  seller  of a  corresponding  put.  If the  market  price of the
underlying  investment is equal to or above the exercise  price and, as a result,  the put is not exercised or resold,
the put will become  worthless at its  expiration  date. In that case the Fund will have paid the premium but lost the
right to sell the underlying  investment.  However,  the Fund may sell the put prior to its expiration.  That sale may
or may not be at a profit.

         Buying a put on an investment  the Fund does not own (such as an index or future)  permits the Fund either to
resell the put or to buy the  underlying  investment  and sell it at the  exercise  price.  The resale price will vary
inversely to the price of the underlying  investment.  If the market price of the  underlying  investment is above the
exercise price and, as a result, the put is not exercised, the put will become worthless on its expiration date.

         When the Fund  purchases a call or put on an index or future,  it pays a premium,  but  settlement is in cash
rather than by delivery of the  underlying  investment  to the Fund.  Gain or loss  depends on changes in the index in
question  (and  thus on price  movements  in the  securities  market  generally)  rather  than on price  movements  in
individual securities or futures contracts.

         The Fund may buy a call or put only if,  after the  purchase,  the value of all call and put options  held by
the Fund will not exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets.

                  o Buying and  Selling  Options on  Foreign  Currencies.  The Fund can buy and sell calls and puts on
foreign  currencies.  They  include  puts and calls that  trade on a  securities  or  commodities  exchange  or in the
over-the-counter markets or are quoted by major recognized dealers in such options.

 The Fund  could  use  these  calls  and puts to try to  protect  against  declines  in the  dollar  value of  foreign
securities and increases in the dollar cost of foreign securities the Fund wants to acquire.

         If the  Manager  anticipates  a rise in the dollar  value of a foreign  currency  in which  securities  to be
acquired are  denominated,  the increased  cost of those  securities  may be partially  offset by purchasing  calls or
writing  puts on that  foreign  currency.  If the  Manager  anticipates  a decline  in the  dollar  value of a foreign
currency,  the decline in the dollar value of portfolio  securities  denominated  in that currency  might be partially
offset by writing calls or purchasing puts on that foreign  currency.  However,  the currency rates could fluctuate in
a direction  adverse to the Fund's position.  The Fund will then have incurred option premium payments and transaction
costs without a corresponding benefit.

         A call the Fund writes on a foreign  currency is "covered" if the Fund owns the underlying  foreign  currency
covered by the call or has an absolute and immediate right to acquire that foreign  currency  without  additional cash
consideration (or it can do so for additional cash  consideration  held in a segregated account by its custodian bank)
upon conversion or exchange of other foreign currency held in its portfolio.

         The Fund could  write a call on a foreign  currency to provide a hedge  against a decline in the U.S.  dollar
value of a  security  which  the Fund owns or has the  right to  acquire  and  which is  denominated  in the  currency
underlying the option.  That decline might be one that occurs due to an expected  adverse change in the exchange rate.
This is known as a  "cross-hedging"  strategy.  In those  circumstances,  the Fund  covers the  option by  identifying
liquid assets on its books having a value equal to its obligation under the option.

                  o Risks of Hedging  with  Options  and  Futures.  The use of hedging  instruments  requires  special
skills and  knowledge  of  investment  techniques  that are  different  than what is  required  for  normal  portfolio
management.  If the Manager  uses a hedging  instrument  at the wrong time or judges  market  conditions  incorrectly,
hedging  strategies may reduce the Fund's return.  The Fund could also experience  losses if the prices of its futures
and options positions were not correlated with its other investments.

         The Fund's  option  activities  could affect its  portfolio  turnover  rate and  brokerage  commissions.  The
exercise of calls written by the Fund might cause the Fund to sell related portfolio  securities,  thus increasing its
turnover  rate.  The  exercise  by the Fund of puts on  securities  will  cause  the sale of  underlying  investments,
increasing  portfolio  turnover.  Although  the  decision  whether  to  exercise  a put it holds is within  the Fund's
control,  holding a put might cause the Fund to sell the related  investments  for reasons that would not exist in the
absence of the put.

         The Fund could pay a brokerage  commission  each time it buys a call or put,  sells a call or put, or buys or
sells an underlying  investment in connection  with the exercise of a call or put. Those  commissions  could be higher
on a relative basis than the commissions for direct  purchases or sales of the underlying  investments.  Premiums paid
for options  are small in  relation to the market  value of the  underlying  investments.  Consequently,  put and call
options  offer large  amounts of leverage.  The leverage  offered by trading in options could result in the Fund's net
asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying investment.

         If a covered call written by the Fund is exercised on an  investment  that has  increased in value,  the Fund
will be  required  to sell the  investment  at the  call  price.  It will not be able to  realize  any  profit  if the
investment has increased in value above the call price.

         An option  position  may be closed out only on a market that  provides  secondary  trading for options of the
same series,  and there is no assurance that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular  option. The Fund
might experience losses if it could not close out a position because of an illiquid market for the future or option.

         There is a risk in using short hedging by selling  futures or  purchasing  puts on  broadly-based  indices or
futures to attempt to protect against declines in the value of the Fund's portfolio  securities.  The risk is that the
prices of the futures or the applicable  index will correlate  imperfectly with the behavior of the cash prices of the
Fund's  securities.  For example,  it is possible that while the Fund has used hedging  instruments  in a short hedge,
the  market  might  advance  and the value of the  securities  held in the Fund's  portfolio  might  decline.  If that
occurred,  the Fund would lose money on the  hedging  instruments  and also  experience  a decline in the value of its
portfolio  securities.  However,  while this could occur for a very brief period or to a very small degree,  over time
the value of a diversified  portfolio of securities  will tend to move in the same direction as the indices upon which
the hedging instruments are based.

         The risk of imperfect  correlation  increases as the  composition of the Fund's  portfolio  diverges from the
securities  included in the applicable  index.  To compensate for the imperfect  correlation of movements in the price
of the portfolio  securities  being hedged and movements in the price of the hedging  instruments,  the Fund might use
hedging  instruments in a greater dollar amount than the dollar amount of portfolio  securities being hedged. It might
do so if the  historical  volatility  of the  prices  of the  portfolio  securities  being  hedged  is more  than  the
historical volatility of the applicable index.


         The  ordinary  spreads  between  prices in the cash and futures  markets are subject to  distortions,  due to
differences  in the nature of those  markets.  First,  all  participants  in the futures  market are subject to margin
deposit and  maintenance  requirements.  Rather than meeting  additional  margin deposit  requirements,  investors may
close futures contracts through offsetting  transactions which could distort the normal relationship  between the cash
and futures  markets.  Second,  the liquidity of the futures market depends on  participants  entering into offsetting
transactions  rather than  making or taking  delivery.  To the extent  participants  decide to make or take  delivery,
liquidity  in the futures  market  could be  reduced,  thus  producing  distortion.  Third,  from the point of view of
speculators,  the deposit  requirements  in the  futures  market are less  onerous  than  margin  requirements  in the
securities  markets.  Therefore,  increased  participation  by speculators  in the futures market may cause  temporary
price distortions.

         The Fund can use  hedging  instruments  to  establish  a position  in the  securities  markets as a temporary
substitute  for the purchase of individual  securities  (long hedging) by buying futures and/or calls on such futures,
broadly-based  indices or on securities.  It is possible that when the Fund does so the market might  decline.  If the
Fund then  concludes  not to invest in securities  because of concerns  that the market might  decline  further or for
other  reasons,  the Fund will  realize a loss on the hedging  instruments  that is not offset by a  reduction  in the
price of the securities purchased.

                  o Forward  Contracts.  Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange  contracts.  They are used to
buy or sell foreign  currency for future  delivery at a fixed price.  The Fund uses them to "lock in" the U.S.  dollar
price of a  security  denominated  in a foreign  currency  that the Fund has  bought or sold,  or to  protect  against
possible losses from changes in the relative values of the U.S. dollar and a foreign  currency.  The Fund may also use
"cross-hedging"  where the Fund hedges  against  changes in currencies  other than the currency in which a security it
holds is denominated.

         Under a forward  contract,  one party  agrees to  purchase,  and  another  party  agrees to sell,  a specific
currency at a future  date.  That date may be any fixed  number of days from the date of the  contract  agreed upon by
the parties.  The  transaction  price is set at the time the contract is entered into.  These  contracts are traded in
the inter-bank market conducted directly among currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.

         The Fund may use forward  contracts to protect  against  uncertainty in the level of future  exchange  rates.
The use of forward  contracts does not eliminate the risk of fluctuations  in the prices of the underlying  securities
the Fund owns or intends to acquire,  but it does fix a rate of exchange in advance.  Although  forward  contracts may
reduce  the risk of loss  from a  decline  in the  value of the  hedged  currency,  at the same  time  they  limit any
potential gain if the value of the hedged currency increases.

         When the Fund  enters  into a  contract  for the  purchase  or sale of a  security  denominated  in a foreign
currency,  or when it  anticipates  receiving  dividend  payments  in a foreign  currency,  the Fund  might  desire to
"lock-in" the U.S. dollar price of the security or the U.S. dollar equivalent of the dividend payments.  To do so, the
Fund could enter into a forward  contract for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign  currency  involved in the
underlying  transaction,  in a fixed  amount  of U.S.  dollars  per unit of the  foreign  currency.  This is  called a
"transaction  hedge."  The  transaction  hedge will  protect  the Fund  against a loss from an  adverse  change in the
currency  exchange  rates  during the period  between the date on which the  security is purchased or sold or on which
the payment is declared, and the date on which the payments are made or received.

         The Fund could also use forward  contracts to lock in the U.S. dollar value of portfolio  positions.  This is
called a "position  hedge." When the Fund believes that foreign  currency might suffer a substantial  decline  against
the U.S. dollar,  it could enter into a forward contract to sell an amount of that foreign currency  approximating the
value of some or all of the Fund's portfolio securities  denominated in that foreign currency.  When the Fund believes
that the U.S.  dollar might suffer a substantial  decline  against a foreign  currency,  it could enter into a forward
contract to buy that foreign  currency for a fixed dollar amount.  Alternatively,  the Fund could enter into a forward
contract to sell a different  foreign  currency  for a fixed U.S.  dollar  amount if the Fund  believes  that the U.S.
dollar  value of the foreign  currency  to be sold  pursuant to its forward  contract  will fall  whenever  there is a
decline in the U.S. dollar value of the currency in which portfolio  securities of the Fund are  denominated.  That is
referred to as a "cross hedge."

         The Fund will cover its short  positions in these cases by  identifying to its custodian bank assets having a
value equal to the aggregate  amount of the Fund's  commitment under forward  contracts.  The Fund will not enter into
forward  contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if the  consummation  of the contracts  would obligate
the Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of the Fund's  portfolio  securities or other
assets denominated in that currency or another currency that is the subject of the hedge.

         However,  to avoid  excess  transactions  and  transaction  costs,  the Fund may  maintain a net  exposure to
forward  contracts in excess of the value of the Fund's  portfolio  securities or other assets  denominated in foreign
currencies if the excess amount is "covered" by liquid  securities  denominated in any currency.  The cover must be at
least  equal at all times to the amount of that  excess.  As one  alternative,  the Fund may  purchase  a call  option
permitting  the Fund to purchase the amount of foreign  currency being hedged by a forward sale contract at a price no
higher than the forward  contract price.  As another  alternative,  the Fund may purchase a put option  permitting the
Fund to sell the amount of foreign currency  subject to a forward purchase  contract at a price as high or higher than
the forward contact price.

         The  precise  matching  of the amounts  under  forward  contracts  and the value of the  securities  involved
generally will not be possible  because the future value of securities  denominated in foreign  currencies will change
as a consequence of market  movements  between the date the forward  contract is entered into and the date it is sold.
In some cases the Manager  might  decide to sell the  security  and deliver  foreign  currency to settle the  original
purchase  obligation.  If the market  value of the  security is less than the amount of foreign  currency  the Fund is
obligated  to deliver,  the Fund might have to purchase  additional  foreign  currency on the "spot"  (that is,  cash)
market to settle the  security  trade.  If the market  value of the  security  instead  exceeds  the amount of foreign
currency  the Fund is  obligated  to deliver to settle the trade,  the Fund might have to sell on the spot market some
of the foreign  currency  received upon the sale of the security.  There will be additional  transaction  costs on the
spot market in those cases.

         The projection of short-term currency market movements is extremely  difficult,  and the successful execution
of a short-term  hedging strategy is highly uncertain.  Forward  contracts involve the risk that anticipated  currency
movements  will not be  accurately  predicted,  causing  the Fund to  sustain  losses  on these  contracts  and to pay
additional  transactions  costs.  The use of forward  contracts in this manner might reduce the Fund's  performance if
there are  unanticipated  changes in currency  prices to a greater  degree than if the Fund had not entered  into such
contracts.

         At or before the maturity of a forward  contract  requiring the Fund to sell a currency,  the Fund might sell
a portfolio  security and use the sale proceeds to make delivery of the currency.  In the  alternative  the Fund might
retain the security and offset its  contractual  obligation to deliver the currency by  purchasing a second  contract.
Under that  contract the Fund will  obtain,  on the same  maturity  date,  the same amount of the currency  that it is
obligated  to deliver.  Similarly,  the Fund might close out a forward  contract  requiring it to purchase a specified
currency  by  entering  into a second  contract  entitling  it to sell the same  amount  of the same  currency  on the
maturity  date of the first  contract.  The Fund  would  realize a gain or loss as a result of  entering  into such an
offsetting  forward  contract  under  either  circumstance.  The gain or loss will  depend on the  extent to which the
exchange rate or rates between the  currencies  involved  moved between the execution  dates of the first contract and
offsetting contract.

         The costs to the Fund of engaging in forward  contracts varies with factors such as the currencies  involved,
the length of the contract period and the market  conditions then  prevailing.  Because forward  contracts are usually
entered into on a principal  basis,  no brokerage fees or commissions  are involved.  Because these  contracts are not
traded on an exchange,  the Fund must evaluate the credit and performance risk of the counterparty  under each forward
contract.

         Although  the Fund  values  its assets  daily in terms of U.S.  dollars,  it does not  intend to convert  its
holdings of foreign  currencies into U.S.  dollars on a daily basis.  The Fund may convert foreign  currency from time
to time, and will incur costs in doing so. Foreign  exchange  dealers do not charge a fee for conversion,  but they do
seek to realize a profit based on the  difference  between the prices at which they buy and sell  various  currencies.
Thus,  a dealer  might  offer to sell a foreign  currency  to the Fund at one rate,  while  offering a lesser  rate of
exchange if the Fund desires to resell that currency to the dealer.

              o  Interest  Rate Swap  Transactions.  The Fund can enter  into  interest  rate swap  agreements.  In an
interest rate swap,  the Fund and another party  exchange  their right to receive or their  obligation to pay interest
on a security.  For example, they might swap the right to receive floating rate payments for fixed rate payments.  The
Fund can enter into swaps only on  securities  that it owns.  The Fund will not enter into swaps with  respect to more
than  25% of its  total  assets.  Also,  the  Fund  will  identify  on its book  liquid  assets  (such as cash or U.S.
government  securities)  to cover any  amounts it could owe under  swaps that  exceed the  amounts it is  entitled  to
receive, and it will adjust that amount daily, as needed.

         Swap agreements  entail both interest rate risk and credit risk.  There is a risk that, based on movements of
interest  rates in the future,  the payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments
it  received.  Credit risk  arises from the  possibility  that the  counterparty  will  default.  If the  counterparty
defaults,  the Fund's loss will consist of the net amount of contractual  interest  payments that the Fund has not yet
received.  The  Manager  will  monitor  the  creditworthiness  of  counterparties  to the  Fund's  interest  rate swap
transactions on an ongoing basis.


         The  Fund  can  enter  into  swap  transactions  with  certain  counterparties  pursuant  to  master  netting
agreements.  A master netting agreement  provides that all swaps done between the Fund and that counterparty  shall be
regarded  as parts of an integral  agreement.  If amounts are  payable on a  particular  date in the same  currency in
respect of one or more swap  transactions,  the amount  payable on that date in that currency shall be the net amount.
In addition,  the master  netting  agreement  may provide  that if one party  defaults  generally or on one swap,  the
counterparty may terminate all of the swaps with that party.  Under these  agreements,  if a default results in a loss
to one party,  the measure of that party's  damages is  calculated  by reference to the average cost of a  replacement
swap for each swap.  It is measured  by the  mark-to-market  value at the time of the  termination  of each swap.  The
gains and losses on all swaps are then netted, and the result is the counterparty's  gain or loss on termination.  The
termination  of all  swaps  and  the  netting  of  gains  and  losses  on  termination  is  generally  referred  to as
"aggregation."

                  o Regulatory  Aspects of Hedging  Instruments.  When using futures and options on futures,  the Fund
is required to operate within certain  guidelines and  restrictions  with respect to the use of futures as established
by the Commodities  Futures Trading  Commission (the "CFTC").  In particular,  the Fund is exempted from  registration
with the CFTC as a "commodity  pool  operator" if the Fund complies with the  requirements  of Rule 4.5 adopted by the
CFTC.  The Rule does not limit the  percentage  of the Fund's  assets that may be used for futures  margin and related
options  premiums  for a bona fide  hedging  position.  However,  under the Rule,  the Fund must  limit its  aggregate
initial  futures  margin and  related  options  premiums  to not more than 5% of the  Fund's  net  assets for  hedging
strategies that are not considered  bona fide hedging  strategies  under the Rule.  Under the Rule, the Fund must also
use short futures and options on futures  solely for bona fide hedging  purposes  within the meaning and intent of the
applicable provisions of the Commodity Exchange Act.

         Transactions  in options by the Fund are subject to  limitations  established  by the option  exchanges.  The
exchanges  limit the maximum number of options that may be written or held by a single  investor or group of investors
acting in concert.  Those  limits  apply  regardless  of whether the options  were written or purchased on the same or
different  exchanges or are held in one or more accounts or through one or more different  exchanges or through one or
more brokers.  Thus, the number of options that the Fund may write or hold may be affected by options  written or held
by other entities,  including other  investment  companies  having the same advisor as the Fund (or an advisor that is
an affiliate of the Fund's advisor).  The exchanges also impose position limits on futures  transactions.  An exchange
may order the  liquidation  of  positions  found to be in  violation  of those  limits  and may impose  certain  other
sanctions.

         Under the  Investment  Company Act, when the Fund  purchases a future,  it must maintain  liquid assets in an
amount equal to the market value of the securities underlying the future, less the margin deposit applicable to it.

                  o Tax Aspects of Certain Hedging  Instruments.  Certain foreign currency exchange contracts in which
the Fund may invest are treated as "Section 1256  contracts"  under the Internal  Revenue  Code. In general,  gains or
losses  relating to Section 1256  contracts are  characterized  as 60% long-term and 40%  short-term  capital gains or
losses under the Code.  However,  foreign  currency  gains or losses  arising from  Section  1256  contracts  that are
forward  contracts  generally are treated as ordinary income or loss. In addition,  Section 1256 contracts held by the
Fund at the end of each  taxable year are  "marked-to-market,"  and  unrealized  gains or losses are treated as though
they were  realized.  These  contracts  also may be  marked-to-market  for  purposes  of  determining  the  excise tax
applicable  to  investment  company  distributions  and for other  purposes  under  rules  prescribed  pursuant to the
Internal  Revenue Code. An election can be made by the Fund to exempt those  transactions  from this  marked-to-market
treatment.

         Certain  forward  contracts the Fund enters into may result in  "straddles"  for federal income tax purposes.
The  straddle  rules may affect the  character  and timing of gains (or  losses)  recognized  by the Fund on  straddle
positions.  Generally,  a loss sustained on the  disposition of a position making up a straddle is allowed only to the
extent that the loss exceeds any  unrecognized  gain in the offsetting  positions  making up the straddle.  Disallowed
loss is generally allowed at the point where there is no unrecognized  gain in the offsetting  positions making up the
straddle, or the offsetting position is disposed of.

         Under the Internal Revenue Code, the following gains or losses are treated as ordinary income or loss:

(1)      gains or losses  attributable  to fluctuations in exchange rates that occur between the time the Fund accrues
              interest  or other  receivables  or  accrues  expenses  or other  liabilities  denominated  in a foreign
              currency and the time the Fund actually collects such receivables or pays such liabilities, and
(2)      gains or  losses  attributable  to  fluctuations  in the  value of a  foreign  currency  between  the date of
              acquisition of a debt security  denominated in a foreign currency or foreign currency forward  contracts
              and the date of disposition.

         Currency gains and losses are offset  against market gains and losses on each trade before  determining a net
"Section 988" gain or loss under the Internal  Revenue Code for that trade,  which may increase or decrease the amount
of the Fund's investment income available for distribution to its shareholders.

         |X|  Portfolio  Turnover.  "Portfolio  turnover"  describes  the rate at which the Fund traded its  portfolio
securities  during its last fiscal  year.  For  example,  if a fund sold all of its  securities  during the year,  its
portfolio  turnover rate would have been 100%.  The Fund's  portfolio  turnover rate will fluctuate from year to year,
and the Fund expects to have a portfolio turnover rate of more than 100% annually.

         Increased  portfolio  turnover may result in higher  brokerage and transaction  costs for the Fund, which may
reduce its overall performance.  Additionally,  the realization of capital gains from selling portfolio securities may
result in distributions of taxable  long-term capital gains to shareholders,  since the Fund will normally  distribute
all of its capital gains realized each year, to avoid excise taxes under the Internal Revenue Code.

         |X|  Temporary  Defensive  and  Interim  Investments.  In times of  unstable  or adverse  market or  economic
conditions,  the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in temporary  defensive  investments  that are  inconsistent
with the Fund's  principal  investment  strategies.  Generally,  they would be cash  equivalents  (such as  commercial
paper), money market instruments,  short-term debt securities,  U.S. Government securities,  or repurchase agreements.
They could  include  other  investment-grade  debt  securities.  The Fund might  also hold these  types of  securities
pending  the  investment  of proceeds  from the sale of Fund shares or  portfolio  securities  or to meet  anticipated
redemptions  of Fund shares.  To the extent the Fund invests  defensively  in these  securities,  it might not achieve
its investment objective of seeking a high level of current income.

Investment Restrictions

         |X| What Are  "Fundamental  Policies?"  Fundamental  policies are those policies that the Fund has adopted to
govern  its  investments  that can be  changed  only by the vote of a  "majority"  of the  Fund's  outstanding  voting
securities.  Under the Investment  Company Act, a "majority"  vote is defined as the vote of the holders of the lesser
of:

o        67% or more of the shares present or represented  by proxy at a shareholder  meeting,  if the holders of more
                than 50% of the outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or
o        more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

         The Fund's investment  objective is a fundamental policy.  Other policies described in the Prospectus or this
Statement of  Additional  Information  are  "fundamental"  only if they are  identified  as such.  The Fund's Board of
Trustees  can  change  non-fundamental  policies  without  shareholder  approval.  However,   significant  changes  to
investment  policies will be described in  supplements  or updates to the  Prospectus or this  Statement of Additional
Information, as appropriate. The Fund's most significant investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

         |X|  Does  the  Fund  Have  Additional  Fundamental  Policies?  The  following  investment  restrictions  are
fundamental policies of the Fund.

              o The Fund cannot buy  securities  issued or  guaranteed  by any one issuer if more than 5% of its total
assets would be invested in securities  of that issuer or if it would then own more than 10% of that  issuer's  voting
securities.  That  restriction  applies  to 75% of the Fund's  total  assets.  The limit does not apply to  securities
issued  by the U.S.  government  or any of its  agencies  or  instrumentalities  or  securities  of  other  investment
companies.

              o The Fund cannot  concentrate  its  investments  (that means it cannot  invest 25% or more of its total
assets) in any one industry.  Gas, water,  electric and telephone  utilities are considered to be separate  industries
for this purpose.

              o The Fund  cannot make loans  except (a) through  lending of  securities,  (b) through the  purchase of
debt  instruments  or similar  evidences  of  indebtedness,  (c)  through an  inter-fund  lending  program  with other
affiliated funds, and (d) through repurchase agreements.

              o The Fund cannot invest in real estate or real estate  mortgage loans.  However,  the Fund can purchase
and sell  securities  issued or  secured by  companies  that  invest in or deal in real  estate or  interests  in real
estate.

              o The Fund  cannot  underwrite  securities.  A  permitted  exception  is in case it is  deemed  to be an
underwriter under the Securities Act of 1933 when reselling any securities held in its own portfolio.

              o The Fund  cannot  borrow  money in excess of 33 1/3% of the  value of its total  assets.  The Fund may
borrow only from banks and/or affiliated investment  companies.  With respect to this fundamental policy, the Fund can
borrow  only if it  maintains  a 300%  ratio of  assets to  borrowings  at all  times in the  manner  set forth in the
Investment Company Act of 1940.

              o The Fund cannot issue "senior  securities," but this does not prohibit certain  investment  activities
for which  assets of the Fund are  designated  as  segregated,  or  margin,  collateral  or  escrow  arrangements  are
established,  to cover the  related  obligations.  Examples  of those  activities  include  borrowing  money,  reverse
repurchase  agreements,  delayed-delivery  and when-issued  arrangements for portfolio  securities  transactions,  and
contracts to buy or sell derivatives, hedging instruments, options or futures.

         For  purposes of the Fund's  policy not to  concentrate  its  investments,  the Fund has adopted the industry
classifications  set forth in  Appendix B to this  Statement  of  Additional  Information.  That is not a  fundamental
policy.

         Unless the  Prospectus  or this  Statement of  Additional  Information  states that a percentage  restriction
applies  on an  ongoing  basis,  it  applies  only at the time the Fund  makes an  investment.  The Fund need not sell
securities to meet the  percentage  limits if the value of the  investment  increases in proportion to the size of the
Fund.

         |X| Does the Fund Have Additional Restrictions That Are Not "Fundamental" Policies?

         The Fund has an  additional  operating  policy  that is not  "fundamental,"  and which can be  changed by the
Board of Trustees without shareholder approval:

         o The Fund cannot invest in securities of other investment  companies,  except if it acquires them as part of
a merger, consolidation or acquisition of assets.

How the Fund is Managed

Organization  and History.  The Fund is a series of  Oppenheimer  Integrity  Funds  (referred to as the Fund's  parent
Trust in this  document).  The Fund's  parent Trust was  established  in 1982 as MassMutual  Liquid  Assets Trust,  an
open-end  diversified  management  investment  company,  with an unlimited  number of authorized  shares of beneficial
interest.  The Fund was reorganized from a closed-end  investment  company called MassMutual  Income  Investors,  Inc.
into a series of the Trust on April 15, 1988. The Fund and the Trust were originally  managed by Massachusetts  Mutual
Life  Insurance  Company,  the Manager's  indirect  parent  company.  On March 29, 1991, the Manager became the Fund's
investment  advisor,  and the  Trust  changed  its name to  Oppenheimer  Integrity  Funds.  The  Fund was then  called
Oppenheimer Investment Grade Bond Fund and changed its name to Oppenheimer Bond Fund on July 10, 1995.

         The Fund is governed by the Board of Trustees of its parent Trust.  The Board is  responsible  for protecting
the interests of shareholders under  Massachusetts law. The Trustees meet periodically  throughout the year to oversee
the Fund's activities, review its performance, and review the actions of the Manager.

         |X| Classes of Shares. The Trustees are authorized,  without shareholder  approval,  to create new series and
classes of shares.  The Trustees  may  reclassify  unissued  shares of the Fund into  additional  series or classes of
shares.  The  Trustees  also may  divide or combine  the  shares of a class into a greater or lesser  number of shares
without changing the  proportionate  beneficial  interest of a shareholder in the Fund.  Shares do not have cumulative
voting  rights or  preemptive  or  subscription  rights.  Shares  may be voted in  person  or by proxy at  shareholder
meetings.

         The Fund  currently  has five classes of shares:  Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y. All classes
invest  in the  same  investment  portfolio.  Only  retirement  plans  may  purchase  Class  N  shares.  Only  certain
institutional investors may elect to purchase Class Y shares. Each class of shares:
o        has its own dividends and distributions,
o        pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,
o        may have a different net asset value,
o        may have separate  voting rights on matters in which  interests of one class are different  from interests of
             another class, and
o        votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

         Shares are freely  transferable,  and each share of each  class has one vote at  shareholder  meetings,  with
fractional  shares voting  proportionally  on matters  submitted to the vote of  shareholders.  Each share of the Fund
represents an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of each other share of the same class.

         |X| Meetings of Shareholders.  As a Massachusetts  business trust, the Fund is not required to hold, and does
not plan to hold,  regular annual meetings of shareholders.  The Fund will hold meetings when required to do so by the
Investment  Company  Act or other  applicable  law.  It will also do so when a  shareholder  meeting  is called by the
Trustees or upon proper request of the shareholders.

         Shareholders  have the  right,  upon the  declaration  in writing or vote of  two-thirds  of the  outstanding
shares of the Fund, to remove a Trustee.  The Trustees will call a meeting of  shareholders  to vote on the removal of
a Trustee upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of its outstanding  shares.  If the Trustees receive a
request from at least 10  shareholders  stating that they wish to  communicate  with other  shareholders  to request a
meeting  to remove a Trustee,  the  Trustees  will then  either  make the Fund's  shareholder  list  available  to the
applicants or mail their communication to all other shareholders at the applicants'  expense.  The shareholders making
the  request  must have been  shareholders  for at least six months and must hold shares of the Fund valued at $25,000
or more or constituting at least 1% of the Fund's  outstanding  shares,  whichever is less. The Trustees may also take
other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

         |X|  Shareholder and Trustee  Liability.  The Fund's  Declaration of Trust contains an express  disclaimer of
shareholder or Trustee liability for the Fund's  obligations.  It also provides for  indemnification and reimbursement
of  expenses  out of the  Fund's  property  for any  shareholder  held  personally  liable  for its  obligations.  The
Declaration  of Trust also states that upon  request,  the Fund shall  assume the defense of any claim made  against a
shareholder  for any act or  obligation of the Fund and shall  satisfy any judgment on that claim.  Massachusetts  law
permits a  shareholder  of a business  trust  (such as the Fund) to be held  personally  liable as a  "partner"  under
certain  circumstances.  However, the risk that a Fund shareholder will incur financial loss from being held liable as
a "partner" of the Fund is limited to the relatively  remote  circumstances  in which the Fund would be unable to meet
its obligations.

         The  Fund's  contractual  arrangements  state  that  any  person  doing  business  with the  Fund  (and  each
shareholder  of the  Fund)  agrees  under  its  Declaration  of Trust to look  solely  to the  assets  of the Fund for
satisfaction  of any claim or demand that may arise out of any  dealings  with the Fund.  Additionally,  the  Trustees
shall have no personal liability to any such person, to the extent permitted by law.

Board of Trustees

         The  Fund is  governed  by a Board  of  Trustees,  which is  responsible  for  protecting  the  interests  of
shareholders  under  Massachusetts  law.  The Trustees  meet  periodically  throughout  the year to oversee the Fund's
activities,  review its performance,  and review the actions of the Manager.  Although the Fund will not normally hold
annual meetings of its  shareholders,  it may hold shareholder  meetings from time to time on important  matters,  and
shareholders  have the right to call a meeting  to remove a Trustee or to take other  action  described  in the Fund's
Declaration of Trust.

         The Board of Trustees  has an Audit  Committee  and a Review  Committee.  The members of the Audit  Committee
are Edward L. Cameron  (Chairman),  C. Howard Kast and F. William Marshall,  Jr. The Audit Committee held six meetings
during the fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  2001.  The Audit  Committee  furnishes  the Board with  recommendations
regarding the selection of the Fund's independent  auditors.  Other main functions of the Audit Committee include, but
are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results of audits and the audit fees charged;  (ii) reviewing  reports
from the Fund's  independent  auditors  regarding the Fund's internal  accounting  procedures and controls;  and (iii)
establishing a separate line of communication between the Fund's independent auditors and its independent Trustees.

         The Audit  Committee's  functions include  selecting and nominating to the full Board,  Independent  nominees
for election as Independent  Trustees.  The Audit  Committee may, but need not consider the advice and  recommendation
of the  Manager  and its  affiliates  in  selecting  nominees.  The full Board  elects new  Trustees  except for those
instances when a shareholder  vote is required.  To date,  the Audit  Committee has been able to identify from its own
resources  an ample  number of  qualified  candidates.  Nonetheless,  shareholders  may submit  names of  individuals,
accompanied  by complete and properly  supported  resumes,  for the Audit  Committee's  consideration  by mailing such
information  to the  Committee in care of the Fund.  The  Committee may consider such persons at such time as it meets
to consider  possible  nominees.  The  Committee,  however,  reserves sole  discretion to determine the  candidates to
present to the Board and/or shareholders and when it meets for the purpose of considering potential nominees.

         The members of the Review  Committee  are Jon S.  Fossel  (Chairman),  Sam  Freedman,  William L.  Armstrong,
Robert G. Avis and George C. Bowen.  The Review  Committee held six meetings during the fiscal year ended December 31,
2001. Among other functions,  the Review Committee reviews reports and makes  recommendations  to the Board concerning
the fees paid to the Fund's  transfer agent and the services  provided to the Fund by the transfer  agent.  The Review
Committee also reviews the Fund's  investment  performance  and policies and procedures  adopted by the Fund to comply
with the Investment Company Act of 1940 and other applicable law.

Trustees  and Officers of the Fund.  The Fund's  Trustees  and  officers  and their  positions  held with the Fund and
length of service in such position(s) and their principal  occupations and business  affiliations during the past five
years are listed below.  Each of the  Trustees,  except Mr.  Murphy,  is an  "Independent  Trustee," as defined in the
Investment  Company Act. Mr. Murphy is an "Interested  Trustee,"  because he is affiliated  with the Manager by virtue
of his positions as an officer and director of the Manager,  and as a shareholder  of its parent  company.  Mr. Murphy
was  elected as a Trustee  of the Fund with the  understanding  that in the event he ceases to be the chief  executive
officer  of the  Manager,  he will  resign  as a trustee  of the Fund and the  other  Board II Funds for which he is a
trustee or director.  The  information  for the Trustees  also includes the dollar range of shares of the Fund as well
as the aggregate dollar range of shares of the Board II Funds  beneficially  owned by the Trustee.  All information is
as of December 31, 2001. All of the Trustees are also trustees or directors of the following Oppenheimer funds1
(referred to as "Board II Funds"):

1.  For the  Fund's  fiscal  year  ended  December  31,  2001.  Aggregate  compensation  includes  fees  and  deferred
compensation, if any, accrued for a Trustee.
2. For the 2001 calendar year.
         |X| Deferred  Compensation Plan for Trustees.  The Board of Trustees has adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan
for  Independent  Trustees that enables them to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are
entitled to receive from the Fund.  Under the plan, the  compensation  deferred by a Trustee is periodically  adjusted
as though an equivalent  amount had been invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer  funds selected by the Trustee.
The amount paid to the Trustee under the plan will be determined  based upon the  performance  of the selected  funds.
As of the December 31, 2001 none of the Independent Trustees has elected to participate in the plan.

         Deferral of Trustees'  fees under the plan will not materially  affect the Fund's assets,  liabilities or net
income per share.  The plan will not obligate the Fund to retain the services of any Trustee or to pay any  particular
level of  compensation  to any Trustee.  Pursuant to an Order issued by the  Securities and Exchange  Commission,  the
Fund may invest in the funds  selected by the Trustee  under the plan  without  shareholder  approval  for the limited
purpose of determining the value of the Trustee's deferred fee account.

         |X| Major  Shareholders.  As of April 1, 2002 the only  persons who owned of record or were known by the Fund
to own beneficially 5% or more of any class of the Fund's outstanding securities were:

         |X| Code of Ethics.  The Fund,  the  Manager  and the  Distributor  have a Code of Ethics.  It is designed to
detect and prevent improper personal trading by certain employees,  including portfolio  managers,  that would compete
with or take advantage of the Fund's  portfolio  transactions.  Covered  persons include persons with knowledge of the
investments  and  investment  intentions of the Fund and other funds  advised by the Manager.  The Code of Ethics does
permit personnel  subject to the Code to invest in securities,  including  securities that may be purchased or held by
the  Fund,  subject  to a number of  restrictions  and  controls.  Compliance  with the Code of  Ethics  is  carefully
monitored and enforced by the Manager.

         The Code of Ethics  is an  exhibit  to the  Fund's  registration  statement  filed  with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public  Reference  Room in  Washington,  D.C. You can
obtain  information  about the hours of operation of the Public  Reference Room by calling the SEC at  1-202-942-8090.
The Code of Ethics can also be viewed as part of the Fund's  registration  statement  on the SEC's  EDGAR  database at
the SEC's  Internet web site at  www.sec.gov.  Copies may be obtained,  after paying a duplicating  fee, by electronic
request at the following  e-mail address:  publicinfo@sec.gov,  or by writing to the SEC's Public  Reference  Section,

         |X| The Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  The Manager provides investment advisory and management services to
the Fund under an investment  advisory  agreement between the Manager and the Fund. The Manager selects securities for
the Fund's  portfolio and handles its  day-to-day  business.  The  portfolio  managers of the Fund are employed by the
Manager and are the persons who are  principally  responsible for the day-to-day  management of the Fund's  portfolio.
Other members of the Manager's  Fixed-Income  Portfolio  Team provide the portfolio  managers with counsel and support
in managing the Fund's portfolio.

         The  agreement  requires  the  Manager,  at its  expense,  to provide the Fund with  adequate  office  space,
facilities and equipment.  It also requires the Manager to provide and supervise the activities of all  administrative
and clerical personnel required to provide effective  administration for the Fund. Those responsibilities  include the
compilation  and  maintenance  of records  with respect to its  operations,  the  preparation  and filing of specified
reports,  and composition of proxy materials and registration  statements for continuous  public sale of shares of the
Fund.

         The  advisory  agreement  lists  examples  of  expenses  paid by the  Fund.  The major  categories  relate to
interest,  taxes, brokerage commissions,  fees to certain Trustees,  legal and audit expenses,  custodian and transfer
agent expenses,  share issuance costs, certain printing and registration costs and non-recurring  expenses,  including
litigation  costs.  The management  fees paid by the Fund to the Manager are calculated at the rates  described in the
Prospectus,  which are applied to the assets of the Fund as a whole.  The fees are  allocated  to each class of shares
based upon the relative proportion of the Fund's net assets represented by that class.

         The  investment  advisory  agreement  states that in the  absence of willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  gross
negligence in the  performance of its duties or reckless  disregard of its obligations and duties under the investment
advisory  agreement,  the  Manager  is not  liable for any loss the Fund  sustains  by reason of good faith  errors or
omissions on its part with respect to any of its duties under the agreement.

         The agreement  permits the Manager to act as investment  advisor for any other  person,  firm or  corporation
and to use the name  "Oppenheimer"  in connection with other  investment  companies for which it may act as investment
advisor or general  distributor.  If the Manager  shall no longer act as investment  advisor to the Fund,  the Manager
may withdraw the right of the Fund to use the name "Oppenheimer" as part of its name.

         Until March 1991,  Massachusetts  Mutual  Life  Insurance  Company  was the Fund's  investment  advisor.  The
Manager became the Fund's  investment  advisor March 28, 1991, and the Manager engaged  MassMutual as sub-advisor from
March 28, 1991 until July 10, 1995.

         |X| Annual  Approval  of  Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  Each year,  the Board of  Trustees,  including  a
majority of the Independent  Trustees,  is required to approve the renewal of the investment advisory  agreement.  The
Investment  Company Act requires that the Board request and evaluate and the Manager  provide such  information as may
be reasonably  necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.  The board employs an independent
consultant to prepare a report that provides such information as the Board requests for this purpose.

         The Board also receives  information  about the 12b-1  distribution  fees the Fund pays.  These  distribution
fees are reviewed and approved at a different time of the year.

         The Board reviewed the foregoing  information  in arriving at its decision to renew the  investment  advisory
agreement. Among other factors, the Board considered:
o        The nature, cost, and quality of the services provided to the Fund and its shareholders;
o        The profitability of the Fund to the Manager;
o        The investment performance of the Fund in comparison to regular market indices
o        Economies of scale that may be available to the Fund from the Manager;
o        Fees paid by other mutual funds for similar services;
o        The value and quality of any other benefits or services  received by the Fund from its relationship  with the
              Manager, and
o        The direct and indirect  benefits the Manager  received from its  relationship  with the Fund. These included
              services  provided by the General  Distributor  and the Transfer  Agent,  and  brokerage and soft dollar
              arrangements permissible under Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act.

         The Board  considered  that the Manager must be able to pay and retain high quality  personnel at competitive
rates to provide  services to the Fund. The Board also  considered  that  maintaining  the financial  viability of the
Manager is  important  so that the Manager  will be able to continue to provide  quality  services to the Fund and its
shareholders in adverse times.  The Board also considered the investment  performance of other mutual funds advised by
the Manager. The Board is aware that there are alternatives to the use of the Manager.

         These matters were also considered by the Independent  Trustees,  meeting separately from the full Board with
experienced  Counsel to the Fund who assisted the Board in its  deliberations.  The Fund's  Counsel is  independent of
the Manager within the meaning and intent of the SEC Rules regarding the independence of counsel.

         In  arriving  at a  decision,  the Board did not  single out any one factor or group of factors as being more
important than other factors,  but considered all factors  together.  The Board judged the terms and conditions of the
Agreement,  including  the  investment  advisory  fee,  in  light  of  all  of the  surrounding  circumstances.  After
deliberating the Board approved a reduction in the annual management fee rate as described in the Prospectus.

Brokerage Policies of the Fund

Brokerage  Provisions of the  Investment  Advisory  Agreement.  One of the duties of the Manager under the  investment
advisory agreement is to arrange the portfolio  transactions for the Fund. The advisory agreement contains  provisions
relating to the employment of  broker-dealers to effect the Fund's portfolio  transactions.  The Manager is authorized
by the advisory agreement to employ  broker-dealers,  including  "affiliated"  brokers, as that term is defined in the
Investment Company Act. The Manager may employ  broker-dealers  that the Manager thinks, in its best judgment based on
all relevant  factors,  will implement the policy of the Fund to obtain, at reasonable  expense,  the "best execution"
of the Fund's  portfolio  transactions.  "Best  execution"  means prompt and reliable  execution at the most favorable
price obtainable.  The Manager need not seek competitive  commission  bidding.  However, it is expected to be aware of
the  current  rates of eligible  brokers  and to  minimize  the  commissions  paid to the extent  consistent  with the
interests and policies of the Fund as established by its Board of Trustees.

         Under the  investment  advisory  agreement,  the Manager may select  brokers  (other  than  affiliates)  that
provide  brokerage  and/or  research  services  for the Fund and/or the other  accounts  over which the Manager or its
affiliates  have investment  discretion.  The  commissions  paid to such brokers may be higher than another  qualified
broker would charge,  if the Manager makes a good faith  determination  that the  commission is fair and reasonable in
relation to the services provided.  Subject to those  considerations,  as a factor in selecting brokers for the Fund's
portfolio  transactions,  the Manager may also consider sales of shares of the Fund and other investment companies for
which the Manager or an affiliate serves as investment advisor.


Brokerage  Practices Followed by the Manager.  The Manager allocates  brokerage for the Fund subject to the provisions
of the  investment  advisory  agreement  and the  procedures  and rules  described  above.  Generally,  the  Manager's
portfolio traders allocate brokerage based upon  recommendations  from the Manager's  portfolio  managers.  In certain
instances,  portfolio  managers  may  directly  place trades and allocate  brokerage.  In either case,  the  Manager's
executive officers supervise the allocation of brokerage.

         Transactions  in securities  other than those for which an exchange is the primary  market are generally done
with  principals  or market  makers.  In  transactions  on foreign  exchanges,  the Fund may be  required to pay fixed
brokerage  commissions and therefore would not have the benefit of negotiated  commissions  available in U.S. markets.
Brokerage  commissions are paid primarily for effecting  transactions in listed securities or for certain fixed-income
agency transactions in the secondary market.  Otherwise brokerage  commissions are paid only if it appears likely that
a better price or execution can be obtained by doing so. In an option  transaction,  the Fund ordinarily uses the same
broker for the purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the securities to which the option relates.

         Other funds advised by the Manager have investment  policies  similar to those of the Fund. Those other funds
may purchase or sell the same  securities as the Fund at the same time as the Fund,  which could affect the supply and
price of the securities.  If two or more funds advised by the Manager  purchase the same security on the same day from
the same dealer,  the  transactions  under those combined  orders are averaged as to price and allocated in accordance
with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.

         Most purchases of debt  obligations are principal  transactions at net prices.  Instead of using a broker for
those transactions,  the Fund normally deals directly with the selling or purchasing  principal or market maker unless
the Manager  determines that a better price or execution can be obtained by using the services of a broker.  Purchases
of portfolio  securities from  underwriters  include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter.
Purchases from dealers  include a spread between the bid and asked prices.  The Fund seeks to obtain prompt  execution
of these orders at the most favorable net price.

         The  investment  advisory  agreement  permits the Manager to allocate  brokerage for research  services.  The
research  services  provided by a particular  broker may be useful only to one or more of the advisory accounts of the
Manager and its  affiliates.  The  investment  research  received for the  commissions  of those other accounts may be
useful both to the Fund and one or more of the Manager's  other accounts.  Investment  research may be supplied to the
Manager by a third party at the instance of a broker through which trades are placed.

         Investment  research  services  include  information  and analysis on particular  companies and industries as
well as market or economic trends and portfolio  strategy,  market quotations for portfolio  evaluations,  information
systems,  computer  hardware and similar  products and services.  If a research  service also assists the Manager in a
non-research capacity (such as bookkeeping or other administrative  functions),  then only the percentage or component
that provides assistance to the Manager in the investment decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.


         The Board of Trustees permits the Manager to use stated commissions on secondary  fixed-income  agency trades
to obtain  research if the broker  represents to the Manager  that:  (i) the trade is not from or for the broker's own
inventory,  (ii) the trade was  executed  by the  broker on an agency  basis at the stated  commission,  and (iii) the
trade is not a riskless  principal  transaction.  The Board of  Trustees  permits the  Manager to use  concessions  on
fixed-price offerings to obtain research, in the same manner as is permitted for agency transactions.

         The research services  provided by brokers broadens the scope and supplements the research  activities of the
Manager.  That research provides  additional views and comparisons for consideration,  and helps the Manager to obtain
market  information  for the  valuation  of  securities  that are  either  held in the Fund's  portfolio  or are being
considered  for  purchase.  The  Manager  provides  information  to the Board  about the  commissions  paid to brokers
furnishing  such  services,  together  with the  Manager's  representation  that the  amount of such  commissions  was
reasonably related to the value or benefit of such services.

Distribution and Service Plans

The  Distributor.  Under its  General  Distributor's  Agreement  with the Fund,  the  Distributor  acts as the  Fund's
principal  underwriter  in the  continuous  public  offering  of the  different  classes  of shares  of the Fund.  The
Distributor  bears the expenses  normally  attributable to sales,  including  advertising and the cost of printing and
mailing prospectuses,  other than those furnished to existing  shareholders.  The Distributor is not obligated to sell
a specific number of shares. Expenses normally attributable to sales are borne by the Distributor.

         The sales charges and  concessions  paid to, or retained by, the  Distributor  from the sale of shares during
the Fund's three most recent fiscal years,  and the contingent  deferred sales charges  retained by the Distributor on
the redemption of shares for the most recent fiscal year are shown in the tables below.

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares and Distribution and Service
Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the
Fund pays the Distributor for all or a portion of its costs incurred in connection with the distribution and/or
servicing of the shares of the particular class.

         Each plan has been  approved by a vote of the Board of  Trustees,  including  a majority  of the  Independent
Trustees9, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.

         Under the  plans,  the  Manager  and the  Distributor  may make  payments  from  time to time from  their own
resources,  in their sole discretion,  to brokers,  dealers or other financial  institutions  including affiliates for
distribution  and  administrative  services they perform,  at no direct cost to the Fund to make those  payments.  The
Manager may use its profits from the advisory fee it receives from the Fund.

         In their sole  discretion,  the  Distributor  and the Manager may increase or decrease the amount of payments
they make from their own resources to plan recipients.

         Unless a plan is terminated as described  below,  the plan  continues in effect from year to year but only if
the Fund's Board of Trustees and its  Independent  Trustees  specifically  vote  annually to approve its  continuance.
Approval  must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting  called for the purpose of voting on  continuing  the plan.  A
plan may be  terminated  at any time by the  vote of a  majority  of the  Independent  Trustees  or by the vote of the
holders of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the outstanding shares of that class.

         The Board of Trustees  and the  Independent  Trustees  must  approve all material  amendments  to a plan.  An
amendment to increase  materially the amount of payments to be made under a plan must be approved by  shareholders  of
the class  affected by the  amendment.  Because Class B shares of the Fund  automatically  convert into Class A shares
after six years,  the Fund must obtain the approval of both Class A and Class B shareholders  for a proposed  material
amendment to the Class A Plan that would  materially  increase  payments  under the Plan.  That  approval must be by a
"majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the shares of each class, voting separately by class.

         While the Plans are in effect,  the  Treasurer  of the Fund shall  provide  separate  written  reports on the
plans to the Board of  Trustees  at least  quarterly  for its  review.  The  reports  shall  detail  the amount of all
payments made under a plan and the purpose for which the payments were made.

         The  reports  on the  Class B Plan,  Class C Plan and  Class N Plan  shall  also  include  the  Distributor's
distribution  costs for that  quarter.  Those  reports  are  subject  to the review and  approval  of the  Independent
Trustees.

         Each plan states that while it is in effect,  the selection and  nomination of those Trustees of the Fund who
are not  "interested  persons" of the Fund is committed to the discretion of the Independent  Trustees.  This does not
prevent  the  involvement  of others in the  selection  and  nomination  process as long as the final  decision  as to
selection or nomination is approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

         Under the plan for a class,  no payment will be made to any  recipient in any quarter in which the  aggregate
net asset value of all Fund shares of that class held by the recipient  for itself and its  customers  does not exceed
a minimum amount,  if any, that may be set from time to time by a majority of the Independent  Trustees.  The Board of
Trustees has set no minimum amount of assets to qualify for payments under the plans.

         |X| Class A Service Plan Fees.  Under the Class A service plan,  the  Distributor  currently uses the fees it
receives  from  the  Fund  to pay  brokers,  dealers  and  other  financial  institutions  (they  are  referred  to as
"recipients") for personal services and account  maintenance  services they provide for their customers who hold Class
A shares. The services include,  among others,  answering customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in establishing
and maintaining  accounts in the Fund,  making the Fund's  investment  plans available and providing other services at
the  request  of the  Fund or the  Distributor.  While  the  plan  permits  the  Board to  authorize  payments  to the
Distributor  to reimburse  itself for services under the plan,  the Board has not yet done so. The  Distributor  makes
payments  to plan  recipients  quarterly  at an annual  rate not to exceed  0.25% of the  average  annual  net  assets
consisting of Class A shares held in the accounts of the recipients or their customers.

         For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001,  payments  under the Class A Plan totaled  $582,277 all of which
was paid by the  Distributor  to recipients.  An affiliate of the  Distributor  received  $110,787.  Any  unreimbursed
expenses the  Distributor  incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in  subsequent
years.  The  Distributor  may not use payments  received  under the Class A Plan to pay any of its interest  expenses,
carrying charges, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.

         |X| Class B, Class C and Class N Service and  Distribution  Plan Fees. Under the Class B, Class C and Class N
plans,  service  fees and  distribution  fees,  are  computed  on the  average of the net asset value of shares in the
respective  class,  determined as of the close of each regular business day during the period.  Each plan provides for
the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate,  whether the  Distributor's  distribution  expenses are more or less
than the amounts  paid by the Fund under the plan  during the period for which the fee is paid.  The types of services
that  recipients  provide  for the service fee are similar to the  services  provided  under the Class A service  plan
described above.

         The Class B, Class C and Class N plans permit the  Distributor to retain both the  asset-based  sales charges
and the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a quarterly basis,  without payment in advance.  However,
the  Distributor  currently  intends to pay the  service  fee to  recipients  in advance  for the first year after the
shares are  purchased.  After the first year shares are  outstanding,  the  Distributor  makes  service  fee  payments
quarterly on those shares.  The advance  payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold.  Shares  purchased by
exchange  do not  qualify for the advance  service  fee  payment.  If Class B, Class C or Class N shares are  redeemed
during the first year after their  purchase,  the  recipient  of the service fees on those shares will be obligated to
repay the Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance payment of the service fee made on those shares.

         The  asset-based  sales charge and service fees increase  Class B and Class C expenses by 1.00% and effective
November 1, 2001 the  asset-based  sales charge and service fees increases Class N expenses by 0.50% of the net assets
per year of the respective class.

         The Distributor  retains the asset-based sales charge on Class B and Class N shares. The Distributor  retains
the  asset-based  sales  charge on Class C shares  during  the first  year the  shares  are  outstanding.  It pays the
asset-based sales charge as an ongoing  commission to the recipient on Class C shares  outstanding for a year or more.
If a dealer has a special  agreement with the  Distributor,  the Distributor will pay the Class B, Class C, or Class N
service fee and the  asset-based  sales  charge on Class C shares to the dealer  quarterly in lieu of paying the sales
commissions and service fee in advance at the time of purchase.

         The  asset-based  sales charges on Class B, Class C and Class N shares allow  investors to buy shares without
a front-end  sales charge while allowing the Distributor to compensate  dealers that sell those shares.  The Fund pays
the  asset-based  sales charges to the  Distributor  for its services  rendered in  distributing  Class B, Class C and
Class N shares. The payments are made to the Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:

o        pays sales  commissions  to  authorized  brokers  and  dealers at the time of sale and pays  service  fees as
             described above,
o        may make payment of sales  commissions  and/or the advance of the service fee payment to recipients under the
             plans, or may provide such financing from its own resources or from the resources of an affiliate,
o        employs personnel to support distribution of Class B, Class C and Class N shares, and
o        bears the costs of sales  literature,  advertising  and  prospectuses  (other than those furnished to current
             shareholders) and state "blue sky" registration fees and certain other distribution expenses.
o        may not be able to adequately compensate dealers that sell Class B, Class C and Class N shares without
             receiving payment under the plans and therefore may not be able to offer such Classes for sale absent
             the plans,
o        receives payments under the plans consistent with the service fees and asset-based sales charges paid by
             other non-proprietary funds that charge 12b-1 fees,
o        may use the payments under the plan to include the Fund in various third-party distribution programs that
             may increase sales of Fund shares,
o        may experience increased difficulty selling the Fund's shares if payments under the plan are discontinued
             because most competitor funds have plans that pay dealers for rendering distribution services as much or
             more than the amounts currently being paid by the Fund, and
o        may not be able to continue providing, at the same or at a lesser cost, the same quality distribution sales
             efforts and services, or to obtain such services from brokers and dealers, if the plan payments were to
             be discontinued.

         When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are sold without the designation of a broker-dealer, the
Distributor is automatically designated as the broker-dealer of record. In those cases, the Distributor retains the
service fee and asset-based sales charge paid on Class B, Class C and Class N shares.

         The  Distributor's  actual  expenses  in  selling  Class B,  Class C and Class N shares  may be more than the
payments it receives from the contingent  deferred sales charges  collected on redeemed shares and from the Fund under
the plans.  If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund,  the Board of Trustees may allow
the Fund to continue  payments of the  asset-based  sales charge to the  Distributor to compensate it for its expenses
incurred for distributing  shares before the plan was terminated.  All payments under the Class B, Class C and Class N
plans are subject to the limitations  imposed by the Conduct Rules of the National  Association of Securities Dealers,
Inc. on payments of asset-based sales charges and service fees.

Performance of the Fund

Explanation of Performance  Terminology.  The Fund uses a variety of terms to illustrate its performance.  These terms
include  "standardized  yield," "dividend  yield," "average annual total return,"  "cumulative total return," "average
annual  total  return at net asset  value" and "total  return at net asset  value." An  explanation  of how yields and
total returns are  calculated is set forth below.  The charts below show the Fund's  performance as of the Fund's most
recent  fiscal year end.  You can obtain  current  performance  information  by calling the Fund's  Transfer  Agent at
1-800-525-7048 or by visiting the OppenheimerFunds Internet web site at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

         The Fund's  illustrations of its performance data in advertisements  must comply with rules of the Securities
and  Exchange  Commission.  Those rules  describe the types of  performance  data that may be used and how it is to be
calculated.  In general,  any  advertisement by the Fund of its performance data must include the average annual total
returns  for the  advertised  class of shares  of the Fund.  Those  returns  must be shown for the 1-, 5- and  10-year
periods  (or the life of the class,  if less)  ending as of the most  recently  ended  calendar  quarter  prior to the
publication  of the  advertisement  (or its submission  for  publication).  Certain types of yields may also be shown,
provided that they are accompanied by standardized average annual total returns.

         Use of standardized  performance  calculations  enables an investor to compare the Fund's  performance to the
performance of other funds for the same periods.  However,  a number of factors should be considered  before using the
Fund's performance information as a basis for comparison with other investments:

         o Yields and total  returns  measure  the  performance  of a  hypothetical  account in the Fund over  various
periods and do not show the performance of each shareholder's  account.  Your account's performance will vary from the
model  performance  data if your  dividends are received in cash, or you buy or sell shares during the period,  or you
bought your shares at a different time and price than the shares used in the model.

         o The  Fund's  performance  returns  do not  reflect  the  effect of taxes on  dividends  and  capital  gains
distributions.
         o An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.

         o The  principal  value of the Fund's  shares,  and its  yields  and total  returns  are not  guaranteed  and
normally will fluctuate on a daily basis.

         o When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less than their original cost.

         o Yields and total returns for any given past period  represent  historical  performance  information and are
not, and should not be considered, a prediction of future yields or returns.

         The  performance  of each  class of shares is shown  separately,  because  the  performance  of each class of
shares will usually be different. That is because of the different kinds of expenses each class bears.

The yields and total  returns of each class of shares of the Fund are  affected by market  conditions,  the quality of
the  Fund's  investments,  the  maturity  of those  investments,  the types of  investments  the Fund  holds,  and its
operating expenses that are allocated to the particular class.

         |X| Yields.  The Fund uses a variety of different  yields to illustrate  its current  returns.  Each class of
shares calculates its yield separately because of the different expenses that affect each class.

              o Standardized  Yield. The "standardized  yield" (sometimes  referred to just as "yield") is shown for a
class of shares for a stated 30-day period. It is not based on actual  distributions  paid by the Fund to shareholders
in the 30-day period,  but is a  hypothetical  yield based upon the net  investment  income from the Fund's  portfolio
investments  for that  period.  It may  therefore  differ  from the  "dividend  yield"  for the same  class of shares,
described below.

         Standardized  yield is calculated  using the following  formula set forth in rules adopted by the  Securities
and Exchange Commission, designed to assure uniformity in the way that all funds calculate their yields:


                                                   STANDARDIZED YIELD =2 (A - B + 1) - 1
                                                                          -----
                                                                           CD

         The symbols above represent the following factors:
         a =   dividends and interest earned during the 30-day period.
         b =   expenses accrued for the period (net of any expense assumptions).
         c =   the  average  daily  number of shares of that class  outstanding  during the  30-day  period  that were
               entitled to receive dividends.
         d =   the  maximum  offering  price  per  share of that  class on the last day of the  period,  adjusted  for
               undistributed net investment income.

         The standardized  yield for a particular  30-day period may differ from the yield for other periods.  The SEC
formula assumes that the  standardized  yield for a 30-day period occurs at a constant rate for a six-month period and
is annualized at the end of the six-month period.  Additionally,  because each class of shares is subject to different
expenses,  it is likely  that the  standardized  yields of the  Fund's  classes of shares  will  differ for any 30-day
period.

              o Dividend  Yield.  The Fund may quote a "dividend  yield" for each class of its shares.  Dividend yield
is based on the dividends paid on a class of shares during the actual dividend  period.  To calculate  dividend yield,
the  dividends of a class  declared  during a stated  period are added  together,  and the sum is multiplied by 12 (to
annualize the yield) and divided by the maximum  offering  price on the last day of the dividend  period.  The formula
is shown below:

                       Dividend Yield=dividends paid x 12/maximum offering price (payment date)

         The maximum  offering  price for Class A shares  includes  the current  maximum  initial  sales  charge.  The
maximum offering price for Class B, Class C and Class N shares is the net asset value per share,  without  considering
the effect of contingent  deferred  sales  charges.  There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.  The Class A dividend
yield may also be quoted without deducting the maximum initial sales charge.

         |X|  Total  Return  Information.  There  are  different  types of  "total  returns"  to  measure  the  Fund's
performance.  Total  return  is the  change in value of a  hypothetical  investment  in the Fund over a given  period,
assuming  that all  dividends  and capital  gains  distributions  are  reinvested  in  additional  shares and that the
investment  is redeemed at the end of the period.  Because of  differences  in expenses for each class of shares,  the
total returns for each class are separately  measured.  The cumulative  total return measures the change in value over
the entire period (for example,  ten years).  An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for each
year in a period that would  produce the  cumulative  total return over the entire  period.  However,  average  annual
total returns do not show actual  year-by-year  performance.  The Fund uses  standardized  calculations  for its total
returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

         In calculating  total returns for Class A shares,  the current maximum sales charge of 4.75% (as a percentage
of the  offering  price) is deducted  from the initial  investment  ("P")  (unless the return is shown  without  sales
charge,  as described  below).  For Class B shares,  payment of the  applicable  contingent  deferred  sales charge is
applied,  depending  on the period for which the return is shown:  5.0% in the first  year,  4.0% in the second  year,
3.0% in the third and fourth years,  2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0% in the sixth year and none  thereafter.  For Class C
shares,  the 1% contingent  deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the 1-year  period.  For Class N shares,
the 1% contingent  deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the  life-of-class  periods as applicable.  There
is no sales charge for Class Y shares.


                                                   ERV - 1 = AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN
                                                   -----
                                                     P


              o Average  Annual Total Return.  The "average  annual total  return" of each class is an average  annual
compounded  rate of return for each year in a specified  number of years. It is the rate of return based on the change
in value of a  hypothetical  initial  investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula  below) held for a number of years ("n"
in the formula) to achieve an Ending  Redeemable  Value ("ERV" in the  formula) of that  investment,  according to the
following formula:

              o Cumulative Total Return. The "cumulative total return"  calculation  measures the change in value of a
hypothetical  investment of $1,000 over an entire period of years.  Its  calculation  uses some of the same factors as
average annual total return,  but it does not average the rate of return on an annual basis.  Cumulative  total return
is determined as follows:


                                                   ERV - P = TOTAL RETURN
                                                  --------
                                                      P

              o Total  Returns  at Net Asset  Value.  From  time to time the Fund may also  quote a  cumulative  or an
average annual total return "at net asset value"  (without  deducting  sales charges) for Class A, Class B, Class C or
Class N shares.  There is no sales charge on Class Y shares.  Each is based on the  difference  in net asset value per
share at the  beginning  and the end of the  period for a  hypothetical  investment  in that class of shares  (without
considering  front-end  or  contingent  deferred  sales  charges) and takes into  consideration  the  reinvestment  of
dividends and capital gains distributions.

         |X| Lipper  Rankings.  From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking of the  performance  of its classes
of shares by Lipper,  Inc.  ("Lipper").  Lipper is a  widely-recognized  independent  mutual fund monitoring  service.
Lipper monitors the performance of regulated  investment  companies,  including the Fund, and ranks their  performance
for various  periods in categories  based on investment  styles.  The Lipper  performance  rankings are based on total
returns that  include the  reinvestment  of capital  gain  distributions  and income  dividends  but do not take sales
charges or taxes into  consideration.  Lipper also  publishes  "peer-group"  indices of the  performance of all mutual
funds in a category that it monitors and averages of the performance of the funds in particular categories.

              o  Morningstar  Ratings and  Rankings.  From time to time the Fund may  publish the ranking  and/or star
rating of the  performance  of its classes of shares by  Morningstar,  Inc.,  an  independent  mutual fund  monitoring
service.   Morningstar  rates  and  ranks  mutual  funds  in  broad  investment  categories:   domestic  stock  funds,
international  stock funds,  taxable  bond funds and  municipal  bond funds.  The Fund is included in the taxable bond
funds category.

         Morningstar  proprietary star rankings reflect  historical  risk-adjusted  total investment  return. For each
fund  with at least a  three-year  history,  Morningstar  calculates  a  Morningstar  RatingTM  metric  each  month by
subtracting the return on a 90-day U.S. Treasury Bill from the fund's  load-adjusted  return for the same period,  and
then adjusting  this excess return for risk. The top 10% of funds in each broad asset class receive 5 stars,  the next
22.5%  receive 4 stars,  the next 35%  receive 3 stars,  the next 22.5%  receive 2 stars and the bottom 10%  receive 1
star.  The  Overall  Morningstar  Rating for a fund is  derived  from a weighted  average of the  performance  figures
associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) Morningstar Ratings metrics.

         The Fund may also compare its total return  ranking to that of other funds in its  Morningstar  category,  in
addition to its star rating.  Those total return rankings are percentages  from one percent to one hundred percent and
are not  risk-adjusted.  For  example,  if a fund is in the 94th  percentile,  that means that 94% of the funds in the
same category performed better than it did.

         |X| Performance  Rankings and Comparisons by Other Entities and Publications.  From time to time the Fund may
include in its  advertisements  and sales literature  performance  information  about the Fund cited in newspapers and
other  periodicals  such as The New York Times,  The Wall Street  Journal,  Barron's,  or similar  publications.  That
information may include performance quotations from other sources,  including Lipper and Morningstar.  The performance
of the Fund's  classes of shares may be compared in  publications  to the  performance  of various  market  indices or
other  investments,  and  averages,  performance  rankings  or other  benchmarks  prepared by  recognized  mutual fund
statistical services.

         Investors  may also wish to compare the  returns on the Fund's  share  classes to the return on  fixed-income
investments  available  from  banks  and  thrift  institutions.   Those  include  certificates  of  deposit,  ordinary
interest-paying  checking and savings accounts,  and other forms of fixed or variable time deposits, and various other
instruments such as Treasury bills.  However,  the Fund's returns and share price are not guaranteed or insured by the
FDIC or any other agency and will fluctuate  daily,  while bank depository  obligations may be insured by the FDIC and
may provide  fixed rates of return.  Repayment of principal  and payment of interest on Treasury  securities is backed
by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

         From time to time,  the Fund may publish  rankings or ratings of the  Manager or Transfer  Agent,  and of the
investor services provided by them to shareholders of the Oppenheimer  funds,  other than performance  rankings of the
Oppenheimer  funds  themselves.  Those ratings or rankings of shareholder  and investor  services by third parties may
include  comparisons  of their  services to those  provided by other  mutual fund  families  selected by the rating or
ranking services.  They may be based upon the opinions of the rating or ranking service itself,  using its research or
judgment, or based upon surveys of investors, brokers, shareholders or others.

         From time to time,  the Fund may  include  in its  advertisements  and  sales  literature  the  total  return
performance of a hypothetical  investment  account that includes shares of the fund and other  Oppenheimer  funds. The
combined  account may be part of an illustration of an asset  allocation  model or similar  presentation.  The account
performance  may combine total return  performance of the fund and the total return  performance of other  Oppenheimer
funds included in the account.  Additionally,  from time to time, the Fund's  advertisements  and sales literature may
include,  for illustrative or comparative  purposes,  statistical data or other  information about general or specific
market and economic conditions. That may include, for example,

o        information  about the  performance  of  certain  securities  or  commodities  markets or  segments  of those
              markets,
o        information about the performance of the economies of particular countries or regions,
o        the  earnings of  companies  included in segments of  particular  industries,  sectors,  securities  markets,
              countries or regions,
o        the availability of different types of securities or offerings of securities,
o        information  relating  to the  gross  national  or gross  domestic  product  of the  United  States  or other
              countries or regions,
o        comparisons of various market sectors or indices to demonstrate  performance,  risk, or other characteristics
              of the Fund.

How to Buy Shares

Additional  information  is presented  below about the methods that can be used to buy shares of the Fund.  Appendix C
contains more information  about the special sales charge  arrangements  offered by the Fund, and the circumstances in
which sales charges may be reduced or waived for certain classes of investors.

AccountLink.  When shares are  purchased  through  AccountLink,  each  purchase  must be at least $25.  Shares will be
purchased on the regular  business day the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated  Clearing House ("ACH")
transfer to buy the shares.  Dividends will begin to accrue on shares  purchased with the proceeds of ACH transfers on
the business day the Fund receives  federal funds for the purchase  through the ACH system before the close of The New
York Stock  Exchange.  The Exchange  normally  closes at 4:00 P.M.,  but may close earlier on certain days. If federal
funds are  received on a business day after the close of the  Exchange,  the shares will be  purchased  and  dividends
will begin to accrue on the next regular  business  day. The proceeds of ACH  transfers  are normally  received by the
Fund 3 days after the transfers are initiated.  The  Distributor  and the Fund are not  responsible  for any delays in
purchasing shares resulting from delays in ACH transmissions.

Reduced Sales Charges. As discussed in the Prospectus, a reduced sales charge rate may be obtained for Class A
shares under Right of Accumulation and Letters of Intent because of the economies of sales efforts and reduction in
expenses realized by the Distributor, dealers and brokers making such sales. No sales charge is imposed in certain
other circumstances described in Appendix C to this Statement of Additional Information because the Distributor or
dealer or broker incurs little or no selling expenses.

|X| Right of  Accumulation.  To qualify for the lower sales  charge  rates that apply to larger  purchases  of Class A
shares, you and your spouse can add together:

o        Class A and Class B shares you purchase for your individual  accounts  (including IRAs and 403(b) plans),  or
         for your joint accounts, or for trust or custodial accounts on behalf of your children who are minors, and
o        Current  purchases of Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other  Oppenheimer funds to reduce the sales
         charge rate that applies to current purchases of Class A shares, and
o        Class A and  Class B  shares  of  Oppenheimer  funds  you  previously  purchased  subject  to an  initial  or
         contingent  deferred  sales charge to reduce the sales  charge rate for current  purchases of Class A shares,
         provided that you still hold your investment in one of the Oppenheimer funds.

         A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a trust,  estate or other fiduciary account  (including one or
more employee benefit plans of the same employer) that has multiple  accounts.  The Distributor will add the value, at
current  offering  price, of the shares you previously  purchased and currently own to the value of current  purchases
to determine the sales charge rate that applies.  The reduced sales charge will apply only to current  purchases.  You
must request it when you buy shares.

the distributor or the sub-distributor and currently include the following:

1"OSM" stands for Oppenheimer Select Managers
         There is an initial  sales charge on the purchase of Class A shares of each of the  Oppenheimer  funds except
the  money  market  funds.  Under  certain  circumstances  described  in this  Statement  of  Additional  Information,
redemption proceeds of certain money market fund shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

Letters  of  Intent.  Under a Letter of Intent,  if you  purchase  Class A shares or Class A and Class B shares of the
Fund and other Oppenheimer  funds during a 13-month period,  you can reduce the sales charge rate that applies to your
purchases  of Class A shares.  The total  amount of your  intended  purchases  of both Class A and Class B shares will
determine  the  reduced  sales  charge  rate for the Class A shares  purchased  during  that  period.  You can include
purchases made up to 90 days before the date of the Letter.

         A Letter of Intent is an  investor's  statement in writing to the  Distributor  of the  intention to purchase
Class A shares or Class A and Class B shares of the Fund (and other  Oppenheimer  funds) during a 13-month period (the
"Letter of Intent  period").  At the investor's  request,  this may include  purchases made up to 90 days prior to the
date of the Letter.  The Letter states the  investor's  intention to make the aggregate  amount of purchases of shares
which,  when added to the investor's  holdings of shares of those funds,  will equal or exceed the amount specified in
the Letter.  Purchases made by reinvestment of dividends or  distributions  of capital gains and purchases made at net
asset value without sales charge do not count toward satisfying the amount of the Letter.

         A Letter  enables an  investor to count the Class A and Class B shares  purchased  under the Letter to obtain
the reduced  sales charge rate on purchases of Class A shares of the Fund (and other  Oppenheimer  funds) that applies
under the Right of  Accumulation  to current  purchases of Class A shares.  Each  purchase of Class A shares under the
Letter will be made at the offering price  (including the sales charge) that applies to a single lump-sum  purchase of
shares in the amount intended to be purchased under the Letter.

         In submitting a Letter,  the investor  makes no commitment to purchase  shares.  However,  if the  investor's
purchases  of shares  within  the  Letter of  Intent  period,  when  added to the  value  (at  offering  price) of the
investor's  holdings of shares on the last day of that period,  do not equal or exceed the intended  purchase  amount,
the  investor  agrees to pay the  additional  amount of sales  charge  applicable  to such  purchases.  That amount is
described  in "Terms of  Escrow,"  below  (those  terms may be  amended  by the  Distributor  from time to time).  The
investor  agrees  that  shares  equal in value to 5% of the  intended  purchase  amount  will be held in escrow by the
Transfer Agent subject to the Terms of Escrow.  Also, the investor  agrees to be bound by the terms of the Prospectus,
this  Statement  of  Additional  Information  and the  Application  used for a Letter of  Intent.  If those  terms are
amended,  as they may be from time to time by the Fund, the investor  agrees to be bound by the amended terms and that
those amendments will apply automatically to existing Letters of Intent.

         If the total  eligible  purchases made during the Letter of Intent period do not equal or exceed the intended
purchase  amount,  the  commissions  previously  paid to the dealer of record for the  account and the amount of sales
charge  retained by the  Distributor  will be adjusted to the rates  applicable  to actual total  purchases.  If total
eligible  purchases  during the Letter of Intent  period  exceed the  intended  purchase  amount and exceed the amount
needed to qualify for the next sales charge rate  reduction set forth in the  Prospectus,  the sales charges paid will
be adjusted to the lower rate.  That  adjustment  will be made only if and when the dealer returns to the  Distributor
the excess of the amount of  commissions  allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of  commissions  that apply to
the  actual  amount of  purchases.  The  excess  commissions  returned  to the  Distributor  will be used to  purchase
additional  shares  for the  investor's  account  at the net  asset  value  per  share in  effect  on the date of such
purchase, promptly after the Distributor's receipt thereof.

         The Transfer  Agent will not hold shares in escrow for purchases of shares of the Fund and other  Oppenheimer
funds by  OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plans under a Letter of Intent.  If the intended  purchase amount under a
Letter of Intent  entered into by an  OppenheimerFunds  prototype  401(k) plan is not purchased by the plan by the end
of the Letter of Intent period,  there will be no adjustment of  commissions  paid to the  broker-dealer  or financial
institution of record for accounts held in the name of that plan.

         In determining  the total amount of purchases made under a Letter,  shares  redeemed by the investor prior to
the  termination  of the Letter of Intent period will be deducted.  It is the  responsibility  of the dealer of record
and/or the  investor  to advise the  Distributor  about the Letter in placing  any  purchase  orders for the  investor
during the Letter of Intent period. All of such purchases must be made through the Distributor.

         |X| Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.

              1. Out of the initial  purchase  (or  subsequent  purchases  if  necessary)  made  pursuant to a Letter,
shares of the Fund equal in value up to 5% of the intended  purchase  amount  specified in the Letter shall be held in
escrow by the Transfer Agent.  For example,  if the intended  purchase  amount is $50,000,  the escrow shall be shares
valued  in the  amount of $2,500  (computed  at the  public  offering  price  adjusted  for a $50,000  purchase).  Any
dividends and capital gains distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to the investor's account.

              2. If the total minimum  investment  specified under the Letter is completed  within the  thirteen-month
Letter of Intent period, the escrowed shares will be promptly released to the investor.

              3. If, at the end of the  thirteen-month  Letter of Intent  period the total  purchases  pursuant to the
Letter  are  less  than the  intended  purchase  amount  specified  in the  Letter,  the  investor  must  remit to the
Distributor  an amount  equal to the  difference  between the dollar  amount of sales  charges  actually  paid and the
amount of sales  charges  which would have been paid if the total  amount  purchased  had been made at a single  time.
That  sales  charge  adjustment  will apply to any shares  redeemed  prior to the  completion  of the  Letter.  If the
difference  in sales charges is not paid within twenty days after a request from the  Distributor  or the dealer,  the
Distributor  will,  within sixty days of the expiration of the Letter,  redeem the number of escrowed shares necessary
to realize such  difference in sales charges.  Full and fractional  shares  remaining  after such  redemption  will be
released  from escrow.  If a request is received to redeem  escrowed  shares  prior to the payment of such  additional
sales charge, the sales charge will be withheld from the redemption proceeds.

              4. By signing the Letter,  the investor  irrevocably  constitutes  and  appoints  the Transfer  Agent as
attorney-in-fact to surrender for redemption any or all escrowed shares.

              5. The shares  eligible  for  purchase  under the Letter (or the holding of which may be counted  toward
completion of a Letter) include:

(a)      Class A shares sold with a front-end sales charge or subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge,
(b)      Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds acquired subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, and
(c)      Class A or Class B shares  acquired by exchange of either (1) Class A shares of one of the other  Oppenheimer
                      funds that were  acquired  subject to a Class A initial or contingent  deferred  sales charge or
                      (2)  Class B shares of one of the other  Oppenheimer  funds  that  were  acquired  subject  to a
                      contingent deferred sales charge.

              6. Shares held in escrow  hereunder will  automatically be exchanged for shares of another fund to which
an exchange is requested,  as described in the section of the  Prospectus  entitled  "How to Exchange  Shares" and the
escrow will be transferred to that other fund.

Asset Builder Plans. To establish an Asset Builder Plan to buy shares  directly from a bank account,  you must enclose
a check (the minimum is $25) for the initial  purchase with your  application.  Shares purchased by Asset Builder Plan
payments  from bank  accounts  are  subject to the  redemption  restrictions  for recent  purchases  described  in the
Prospectus.  Asset  Builder  Plans are  available  only if your bank is an ACH member.  Asset Builder Plans may not be
used to buy shares for OppenheimerFunds  employer-sponsored  qualified  retirement accounts.  Asset Builder Plans also
enable  shareholders  of Oppenheimer  Cash Reserves to use their fund account to make monthly  automatic  purchases of
shares of up to four other Oppenheimer funds.

         If you make  payments  from your bank  account to  purchase  shares of the Fund,  your bank  account  will be
debited  automatically.  Normally the debit will be made two business days prior to the investment  dates you selected
on your Application.  Neither the Distributor,  the Transfer Agent nor the Fund shall be responsible for any delays in
purchasing shares that result from delays in ACH transmissions.

         Before you establish  Asset  Builder  payments,  you should obtain a prospectus of the selected  fund(s) from
your  financial  advisor  (or the  Distributor  ) and  request  an  application  from the  Distributor.  Complete  the
application  and  return it. You may change  the  amount of your  Asset  Builder  payment or you can  terminate  these
automatic  investments at any time by writing to the Transfer Agent.  The Transfer Agent requires a reasonable  period
(approximately  10 days) after receipt of your  instructions  to implement them. The Fund reserves the right to amend,
suspend, or discontinue offering Asset Builder plans at any time without prior notice.

Retirement  Plans.  Certain types of retirement plans are entitled to purchase shares of the Fund without sales charge
or at reduced sales charge rates,  as described in Appendix C to this  Statement of  Additional  Information.  Certain
special sales charge  arrangements  described in that Appendix apply to retirement  plans whose records are maintained
on a daily valuation basis by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith,  Inc.  ("Merrill  Lynch") or an independent  record
keeper that has a contract or special  arrangement  with Merrill  Lynch.  If on the date the plan  sponsor  signed the
Merrill  Lynch  record  keeping  service  agreement  the plan has less than $3 million in assets  (other  than  assets
invested in money market funds) invested in applicable  investments,  then the retirement plan may purchase only Class
B shares of the Oppenheimer  funds.  Any retirement  plans in that category that currently invest in Class B shares of
the  Fund  will  have  their  Class B shares  converted  to Class A shares  of the  Fund  when the  plan's  applicable
investments reach $5 million.

Cancellation of Purchase Orders.  Cancellation of purchase orders for the Fund's shares (for example,  when a purchase
check is returned to the Fund unpaid)  causes a loss to be incurred  when the net asset value of the Fund's  shares on
the  cancellation  date is less than on the purchase date.  That loss is equal to the amount of the decline in the net
asset value per share  multiplied by the number of shares in the purchase order.  The investor is responsible for that
loss. If the investor fails to compensate the Fund for the loss,  the  Distributor  will do so. The Fund may reimburse
the Distributor for that amount by redeeming  shares from any account  registered in that investor's name, or the Fund
or the Distributor may seek other redress.

Classes of Shares.  Each class of shares of the Fund  represents an interest in the same  portfolio of  investments of
the Fund.  However,  each class has different  shareholder  privileges and features.  The net income  attributable  to
Class B, Class C or Class N shares  and the  dividends  payable on Class B, Class C or Class N shares  will be reduced
by incremental  expenses borne solely by that class.  Those expenses  include the  asset-based  sales charges to which
Class B, Class C and Class N shares are subject.

         The  availability  of  different  classes of shares  permits an investor  to choose the method of  purchasing
shares that is more  appropriate for the investor.  That may depend on the amount of the purchase,  the length of time
the investor  expects to hold shares,  and other relevant  circumstances.  Class A shares normally are sold subject to
an initial  sales charge.  While Class B, Class C and Class N shares have no initial sales charge,  the purpose of the
deferred sales charge and  asset-based  sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares is the same as that of the
initial  sales  charge  on  Class A shares  - to  compensate  the  Distributor  and  brokers,  dealers  and  financial
institutions that sell shares of the Fund.

         A  salesperson  who is entitled  to receive  compensation  from his or her firm for  selling  Fund shares may
receive different levels of compensation for selling one class of shares rather than another.
         The  Distributor  will not  accept  any  order in the  amount  of  $500,000  or more for Class B shares or $1
million or more for Class C shares on behalf of a single  investor  (not  including  dealer  "street  name" or omnibus
accounts).  That is because  generally it will be more  advantageous  for that investor to purchase  Class A shares of
the Fund.

         |X| Class A Shares Subject to a Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. For purchases of Class A shares subject
to a contingent deferred sales charge as described in the Prospectus, no sales concessions will be paid to the
broker-dealer of record, as described in the Prospectus, on sales of Class A shares purchased with the redemption
proceeds of shares of another mutual fund offered as an investment option in a retirement plan in which Oppenheimer
funds are also offered as investment options under a special arrangement with the Distributor, if the purchase
occurs more than 30 days after the Oppenheimer funds are added as an investment option under that plan.
Additionally, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares by a retirement plan made with the redemption
proceeds of Class N shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan for more than 18 months.

         |X| Class B Conversion.  Under current  interpretations  of applicable federal income tax law by the Internal
Revenue  Service,  the  conversion  of Class B shares to Class A shares  after six years is not  treated  as a taxable
event for the  shareholder.  If those  laws or the IRS  interpretation  of those laws  should  change,  the  automatic
conversion  feature may be suspended.  In that event, no further  conversions of Class B shares would occur while that
suspension  remained in effect.  Although  Class B shares could then be  exchanged  for Class A shares on the basis of
relative net asset value of the two classes,  without the  imposition of a sales charge or fee,  such  exchange  could
constitute  a taxable  event for the  shareholder,  and absent  such  exchange,  Class B shares  might  continue to be
subject to the asset-based sales charge for longer than six years.

         |X| Availability of Class N Shares. In addition to the description of the types of retirement plans which
may purchase Class N shares contained in the prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:

o        to all rollover IRAs,
o        to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and Ascender retirement plans,
o        to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,
o        to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,
o        to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix C to this Statement of Additional Information) which have
                entered into a special agreement with the Distributor for that purpose,
o        to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, the
                recordkeeper or the plan sponsor for which has entered into a special agreement with the Distributor,
o        to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of all such plans invested in the
                Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or more,
o        to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the purchase with the redemption proceeds
                of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds, and
o        to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that are identified in a special agreement
                between the broker-dealer or financial advisor and the Distributor for that purpose.

         The sales concession and the advance of the service fee, as described in the Prospectus, will not be paid
to dealers of record on sales of Class N shares on:

o        purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that pays for the purchase
                with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds (other than
                rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in
                the Oppenheimer funds),
o        purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a retirement plan that pays for the purchase
                with the redemption proceeds of  Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the plan
                for more than one year (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender
                401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds), and
o        on purchases of Class N shares by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan made with
                the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds.

         |X| Allocation of Expenses.  The Fund pays expenses related to its daily operations,  such as custodian fees,
Trustees'  fees,  transfer  agency fees,  legal fees and  auditing  costs.  Those  expenses are paid out of the Fund's
assets and are not paid directly by shareholders.  However,  those expenses reduce the net asset value of shares,  and
therefore are indirectly borne by shareholders through their investment.

         The  methodology  for  calculating  the net asset  value,  dividends  and  distributions  of the Fund's share
classes  recognizes  two types of expenses.  General  expenses that do not pertain  specifically  to any one class are
allocated  pro rata to the shares of all  classes.  The  allocation  is based on the  percentage  of the Fund's  total
assets that is  represented  by the assets of each class,  and then equally to each  outstanding  share within a given
class. Such general expenses include  management fees, legal,  bookkeeping and audit fees,  printing and mailing costs
of  shareholder  reports,  Prospectuses,  Statements  of  Additional  Information  and  other  materials  for  current
shareholders,  fees to unaffiliated  Trustees,  custodian  expenses,  share issuance costs,  organization and start-up
costs, interest, taxes and brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses, such as litigation costs.

         Other  expenses  that  are  directly  attributable  to a  particular  class  are  allocated  equally  to each
outstanding  share within that class.  Examples of such expenses  include  distribution and service plan (12b-1) fees,
transfer and shareholder  servicing agent fees and expenses and shareholder  meeting expenses (to the extent that such
expenses pertain only to a specific class).

Determination  of Net Asset  Values Per Share.  The net asset values per share of each class of shares of the Fund are
determined  as of the close of business  of The New York Stock  Exchange  on each day that the  Exchange is open.  The
calculation  is done by dividing  the value of the Fund's net assets  attributable  to a class by the number of shares
of that class that are  outstanding.  The Exchange  normally closes at 4:00 P.M., New York time, but may close earlier
on some other days (for example, in case of weather  emergencies or on days falling before a holiday).  The Exchange's
most  recent  annual  announcement  (which  is  subject  to  change)  states  that it will  close on New  Year's  Day,
Presidents' Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Good Friday,  Memorial Day,  Independence  Day, Labor Day,  Thanksgiving
Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.

         Dealers other than Exchange  members may conduct trading in certain  securities on days on which the Exchange
is closed  (including  weekends and U.S.  holidays) or after 4:00 P.M. on a regular  business day.  Because the Fund's
net asset values will not be  calculated  on those days,  the Fund's net asset  values per share may be  significantly
affected on such days when  shareholders  may not  purchase or redeem  shares.  Additionally,  trading on European and
Asian stock  exchanges  and  over-the-counter  markets  normally is  completed  before the close of The New York Stock
Exchange.

         Changes in the values of securities  traded on foreign  exchanges or markets as a result of events that occur
after the prices of those  securities are determined,  but before the close of The New York Stock  Exchange,  will not
be reflected in the Fund's  calculation of its net asset values that day unless the Manager  determines that the event
is likely to effect a material  change in the value of the  security.  If such  determination  is made,  the  Manager,
acting through an internal valuation committee,  will establish a valuation for such security.  Some of the securities
the Fund buys may not have  readily  available  market  quotations.  For these  securities,  the Board of Trustees has
authorized  the  Manager's  valuation  committee to establish  values for them.  All valuation  determinations  by the
valuation  committee  are subject to the  approval,  ratification  and  confirmation  by the Board at its next ensuing
meeting.

         |X| Securities  Valuation.  The Fund's Board of Trustees has established  procedures for the valuation of the
Fund's securities. In general those procedures are as follows:

              o Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on Nasdaq are valued as follows:

(1)      if last sale  information  is  regularly  reported,  they are valued at the last  reported  sale price on the
                     principal exchange on which they are traded or on Nasdaq, as applicable, on that day, or
(2)      if last sale  information  is not  available on a valuation  date,  they are valued at the last reported sale
                     price  preceding the  valuation  date if it is within the spread of the closing "bid" and "asked"
                     prices on the valuation date or, if not,  at the closing "bid" price on the valuation date.

              o Equity  securities  traded  on a  foreign  securities  exchange  generally  are  valued  in one of the
following ways:

(1)      at the last sale price available to the pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees, or
(2)      at the last sale price  obtained  by the  Manager  from the  report of the  principal  exchange  on which the
                     security is traded at its last trading session on or immediately before the valuation date, or
(3)      at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices  obtained from the principal  exchange on which the security
                     is traded or, on the basis of reasonable inquiry, from two market makers in the security.

              o Long-term  debt  securities  having a remaining  maturity in excess of 60 days are valued based on the
mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices  determined by a portfolio  pricing service  approved by the Fund's Board of
Trustees  or  obtained  by the  Manager  from two active  market  makers in the  security  on the basis of  reasonable
inquiry.

              o The following  securities are valued at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices  determined by a
pricing  service  approved by the Fund's Board of Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in
the security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:

(1)      debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when issued,
(2)      debt  instruments  that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued and have a remaining  maturity of more
                     than 60 days, and
(3)      non-money  market  debt  instruments  that had a  maturity  of 397 days or less when  issued and which have a
                     remaining maturity of 60 days or less.

              o The following  securities are valued at cost,  adjusted for  amortization of premiums and accretion of
discounts:

(1)      money market debt securities  held by a non-money  market fund that had a maturity of less than 397 days when
                     issued that have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and
(2)      debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining maturity of 397 days or less.

              o If the  Manager is unable to locate two  market  makers  willing  to give  quotes,  a security  may be
priced at the mean between the "bid" and "asked"  prices  provided by a single  active  market maker (which in certain
cases may be the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available).

         In the  case  of  U.S.  government  securities,  mortgage-backed  securities,  corporate  bonds  and  foreign
government  securities,  when last sale information is not generally  available,  the Manager may use pricing services
approved by the Board of Trustees.  The pricing  service may use  "matrix"  comparisons  to the prices for  comparable
instruments  on the basis of  quality,  yield  and  maturity.  Other  special  factors  may be  involved  (such as the
tax-exempt  status of the  interest  paid by  municipal  securities).  The Manager  will  monitor the  accuracy of the
pricing  services.  That monitoring may include  comparing prices used for portfolio  valuation to actual sales prices
of selected securities.

         The closing prices in the London foreign  exchange  market on a particular  business day that are provided to
the Manager by a bank,  dealer or pricing  service  that the Manager has  determined  to be reliable are used to value
foreign  currency,  including  forward  contracts,  and to convert to U.S. dollars  securities that are denominated in
foreign currency.

         Puts,  calls,  and  futures  are valued at the last sale price on the  principal  exchange  on which they are
traded or on Nasdaq,  as applicable,  as determined by a pricing  service  approved by the Board of Trustees or by the
Manager.  If there were no sales that day,  they shall be valued at the last sale price on the  preceding  trading day
if it is within the spread of the  closing  "bid" and  "asked"  prices on the  principal  exchange or on NASDAQ on the
valuation  date.  If not,  the value  shall be the  closing  bid price on the  principal  exchange or on Nasdaq on the
valuation  date. If the put, call or future is not traded on an exchange or on Nasdaq,  it shall be valued by the mean
between "bid" and "asked" prices  obtained by the Manager from two active market makers.  In certain cases that may be
at the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available.

         When the Fund writes an option,  an amount equal to the premium  received is included in the Fund's Statement
of Assets and  Liabilities  as an asset.  An  equivalent  credit is included in the liability  section.  The credit is
adjusted  ("marked-to-market")  to reflect the current market value of the option.  In determining  the Fund's gain on
investments,  if a call or put written by the Fund is exercised,  the proceeds are increased by the premium  received.
If a call or put written by the Fund  expires,  the Fund has a gain in the amount of the  premium.  If the Fund enters
into a closing purchase  transaction,  it will have a gain or loss, depending on whether the premium received was more
or less than the cost of the closing transaction.

         If the Fund exercises a put it holds,  the amount the Fund receives on its sale of the underlying  investment
is reduced by the amount of premium paid by the Fund.

How to Sell Shares

The information below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming shares set forth in the Prospectus.

Checkwriting.  When a check is presented to the Bank for clearance,  the Bank will ask the Fund to redeem a sufficient
number of full and fractional shares in the  shareholder's  account to cover the amount of the check. This enables the
shareholder to continue  receiving  dividends on those shares until the check is presented to the Fund. Checks may not
be presented for payment at the offices of the Bank or the Fund's  custodian.  This limitation does not affect the use
of checks for the payment of bills or to obtain cash at other banks.  The Fund  reserves  the right to amend,  suspend
or  discontinue  offering  checkwriting  privileges  at any time.  The Fund will  provide  you notice  whenever  it is
required to do so by applicable law.

         In choosing to take  advantage  of the  Checkwriting  privilege,  by signing  the Account  Application  or by
completing a Checkwriting card, each individual who signs:

(1)      for individual  accounts,  represents that they are the registered owner(s) of the shares of the Fund in that
                account;
(2)      for  accounts  for  corporations,  partnerships,  trusts  and  other  entities,  represents  that they are an
                officer, general partner,  trustee or other fiduciary or agent, as applicable,  duly authorized to act
                on behalf of the registered owner(s);
(3)      authorizes  the Fund,  its Transfer  Agent and any bank through which the Fund's drafts  (checks) are payable
                to pay all checks drawn on the Fund  account of such  person(s)  and to redeem a sufficient  amount of
                shares from that account to cover payment of each check;
(4)      specifically  acknowledges  that if they choose to permit checks to be honored if there is a single signature
                on checks drawn against joint accounts,  or accounts for corporations,  partnerships,  trusts or other
                entities,  the signature of any one  signatory on a check will be  sufficient to authorize  payment of
                that check and  redemption  from the account,  even if that account is registered in the names of more
                than one  person  or more  than one  authorized  signature  appears  on the  Checkwriting  card or the
                Application, as applicable;
(5)      understands that the  Checkwriting  privilege may be terminated or amended at any time by the Fund and/or the
                Fund's bank; and
(6)      acknowledges  and agrees that neither the Fund nor its bank shall incur any liability  for that  amendment or
                termination of checkwriting  privileges or for redeeming shares to pay checks  reasonably  believed by
                them to be  genuine,  or for  returning  or not  paying  checks  that have not been  accepted  for any
                reason.

Reinvestment  Privilege.  Within six months of a redemption,  a shareholder may reinvest all or part of the redemption
proceeds of:

o        Class A shares  purchased  subject  to an  initial  sales  charge  or Class A  shares  on which a  contingent
                deferred sales charge was paid, or

o        Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred sales charge when redeemed.

         The  reinvestment  may be made  without  sales  charge only in Class A shares of the Fund or any of the other
Oppenheimer  funds into which shares of the Fund are  exchangeable  as described  in "How to Exchange  Shares"  below.
Reinvestment  will be at the net asset value next computed after the Transfer Agent receives the  reinvestment  order.
The shareholder  must ask the Transfer Agent for that privilege at the time of  reinvestment.  This privilege does not
apply  to Class C,  Class N or Class Y  shares.  The Fund may  amend,  suspend  or cease  offering  this  reinvestment
privilege at any time as to shares redeemed after the date of such amendment, suspension or cessation.

         Any capital  gain that was  realized  when the shares were  redeemed is taxable,  and  reinvestment  will not
alter any capital gains tax payable on that gain. If there has been a capital loss on the  redemption,  some or all of
the loss may not be tax  deductible,  depending  on the  timing  and amount of the  reinvestment.  Under the  Internal
Revenue Code, if the  redemption  proceeds of Fund shares on which a sales charge was paid are reinvested in shares of
the Fund or another of the Oppenheimer funds within 90 days of payment of the sales charge,  the  shareholder's  basis
in the shares of the Fund that were  redeemed may not include the amount of the sales  charge paid.  That would reduce
the loss or increase the gain recognized from the  redemption.  However,  in that case the sales charge would be added
to the basis of the shares acquired by the reinvestment of the redemption proceeds.

Payments "In Kind." The  Prospectus  states that payment for shares  tendered for  redemption  is  ordinarily  made in
cash.  However,  under  certain  circumstances,  the  Board of  Trustees  of the Fund may  determine  that it would be
detrimental  to the best  interests of the remaining  shareholders  of the Fund to make payment of a redemption  order
wholly  or  partly  in  cash.  In that  case,  the  Fund  may pay the  redemption  proceeds  in  whole or in part by a
distribution "in kind" of liquid securities from the portfolio of the Fund, in lieu of cash.

         The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the  Investment  Company  Act.  Under that rule,  the
Fund is  obligated  to redeem  shares  solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the Fund
during any 90-day period for any one  shareholder.  If shares are redeemed in kind,  the redeeming  shareholder  might
incur  brokerage  or other  costs in selling  the  securities  for cash.  The Fund will value  securities  used to pay
redemptions  in kind using the same  method the Fund uses to value its  portfolio  securities  described  above  under
"Determination  of Net Asset Values Per Share." That  valuation  will be made as of the time the  redemption  price is
determined.

Involuntary  Redemptions.  The Fund's  Board of  Trustees  has the right to cause the  involuntary  redemption  of the
shares  held in any  account if the  aggregate  net asset  value of those  shares is less than  $1,000 or such  lesser
amount as the Board may fix.  The Board  will not cause the  involuntary  redemption  of shares in an  account  if the
aggregate  net  asset  value of such  shares  has  fallen  below  the  stated  minimum  solely  as a result  of market
fluctuations.  If the Board exercises this right, it may also fix the  requirements  for any notice to be given to the
shareholders in question (not less than 30 days).  The Board may  alternatively  set  requirements for the shareholder
to increase the investment, or set other terms and conditions so that the shares would not be involuntarily redeemed.

Transfers of Shares.  A transfer of shares to a different  registration  is not an event that  triggers the payment of
sales  charges.  Therefore,  shares are not subject to the payment of a contingent  deferred sales charge of any class
at the time of transfer to the name of another  person or entity.  It does not matter  whether the transfer  occurs by
absolute  assignment,  gift or bequest, as long as it does not involve,  directly or indirectly,  a public sale of the
shares.  When shares  subject to a contingent  deferred  sales charge are  transferred,  the  transferred  shares will
remain subject to the contingent  deferred sales charge.  It will be calculated as if the transferee  shareholder  had
acquired the transferred shares in the same manner and at the same time as the transferring shareholder.

         If less than all  shares  held in an account  are  transferred,  and some but not all  shares in the  account
would be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge if redeemed at the time of transfer,  the priorities  described
in the  Prospectus  under  "How to Buy  Shares"  for the  imposition  of the  Class B,  Class C or Class N  contingent
deferred sales charge will be followed in determining the order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions  From Retirement  Plans.  Requests for distributions  from  OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  IRAs,  403(b)(7)
custodial plans,  401(k) plans or pension or  profit-sharing  plans should be addressed to "Trustee,  OppenheimerFunds
Retirement  Plans," c/o the Transfer  Agent at its address  listed in "How To Sell Shares" in the Prospectus or on the
back cover of this Statement of Additional Information. The request must

(1)      state the reason for the distribution;
(2)      state the owner's awareness of tax penalties if the distribution is premature; and
(3)      conform to the requirements of the plan and the Fund's other redemption requirements.

         Participants  (other than  self-employed  persons) in  OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  pension or  profit-sharing
plans with shares of the Fund held in the name of the plan or its  fiduciary  may not directly  request  redemption of
their accounts. The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign the request.


         Distributions  from pension and profit sharing plans are subject to special  requirements  under the Internal
Revenue  Code and certain  documents  (available  from the  Transfer  Agent) must be  completed  and  submitted to the
Transfer Agent before the  distribution  may be made.  Distributions  from retirement plans are subject to withholding
requirements  under the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  and IRS Form  W-4P  (available  from the  Transfer  Agent)  must be
submitted  to the  Transfer  Agent with the  distribution  request,  or the  distribution  may be delayed.  Unless the
shareholder  has provided the Transfer Agent with a certified tax  identification  number,  the Internal  Revenue Code
requires that tax be withheld  from any  distribution  even if the  shareholder  elects not to have tax withheld.  The
Fund,  the  Manager,  the  Distributor,  and the  Transfer  Agent  assume no  responsibility  to  determine  whether a
distribution  satisfies  the  conditions  of  applicable  tax laws and will not be  responsible  for any tax penalties
assessed in connection with a distribution.

Special  Arrangements  for  Repurchase  of Shares from Dealers and  Brokers.  The  Distributor  is the Fund's agent to
repurchase its shares from authorized  dealers or brokers on behalf of their  customers.  Shareholders  should contact
their  broker or dealer to  arrange  this type of  redemption.  The  repurchase  price per share will be the net asset
value  next  computed  after the  Distributor  receives  an order  placed by the  dealer or  broker.  However,  if the
Distributor  receives a repurchase  order from a dealer or broker after the close of The New York Stock  Exchange on a
regular  business  day, it will be  processed at that day's net asset value if the order was received by the dealer or
broker from its customers prior to the time the Exchange closes.  Normally,  the Exchange closes at 4:00 P.M., but may
do so earlier on some days.  Additionally,  the order must have been  transmitted  to and received by the  Distributor
prior to its close of business that day (normally 5:00 P.M.).

         Ordinarily,  for  accounts  redeemed by a  broker-dealer  under this  procedure,  payment will be made within
three  business  days after the shares have been redeemed upon the  Distributor's  receipt of the required  redemption
documents in proper form. The  signature(s)  of the registered  owners on the redemption  documents must be guaranteed
as described in the Prospectus.

Automatic  Withdrawal and Exchange Plans.  Investors  owning shares of the Fund valued at $5,000 or more can authorize
the  Transfer  Agent to  redeem  shares  (having  a value of at least  $50)  automatically  on a  monthly,  quarterly,
semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic  Withdrawal Plan.  Shares will be redeemed three business days prior to
the date  requested by the  shareholder  for receipt of the payment.  Automatic  withdrawals of up to $1,500 per month
may be requested by telephone if payments  are to be made by check  payable to all  shareholders  of record.  Payments
must also be sent to the  address of record for the  account and the  address  must not have been  changed  within the
prior 30 days.  Required minimum  distributions from  OppenheimerFunds-sponsored  retirement plans may not be arranged
on this basis.

         Payments  are  normally  made by check,  but  shareholders  having  AccountLink  privileges  (see "How To Buy
Shares") may arrange to have Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan payments  transferred  to the bank account  designated on the
Account Application or by  signature-guaranteed  instructions sent to the Transfer Agent. Shares are normally redeemed
pursuant to an Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan three business days before the payment  transmittal  date you select in the
Account  Application.  If a contingent  deferred  sales charge applies to the  redemption,  the amount of the check or
payment will be reduced accordingly.

         The Fund cannot guarantee  receipt of a payment on the date requested.  The Fund reserves the right to amend,
suspend or  discontinue  offering these plans at any time without prior notice.  Because of the sales charge  assessed
on  Class A share  purchases,  shareholders  should  not  make  regular  additional  Class  A  share  purchases  while
participating  in an  Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan.  Class B, Class C and Class N  shareholders  should  not  establish
automatic  withdrawal  plans,  because of the potential  imposition of the  contingent  deferred  sales charge on such
withdrawals  (except  where the Class B, Class C and Class N contingent  deferred  sales charge is waived as described
in Appendix C to this Statement of Additional Information).

         By requesting an Automatic  Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the  shareholder  agrees to the terms and conditions
that apply to such plans,  as stated below.  These  provisions may be amended from time to time by the Fund and/or the
Distributor. When adopted, any amendments will automatically apply to existing Plans.

         |X| Automatic  Exchange  Plans.  Shareholders  can authorize the Transfer Agent to exchange a  pre-determined
amount of shares of the Fund for shares (of the same class) of other  Oppenheimer  funds  automatically  on a monthly,
quarterly,  semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic  Exchange Plan. The minimum amount that may be exchanged to
each  other  fund  account  is  $25.   Instructions  should  be  provided  on  the  OppenheimerFunds   Application  or
signature-guaranteed  instructions.  Exchanges  made under these plans are subject to the  restrictions  that apply to
exchanges  as set forth in "How to  Exchange  Shares" in the  Prospectus  and below in this  Statement  of  Additional
Information.

         |X|  Automatic  Withdrawal  Plans.  Fund shares will be redeemed as  necessary to meet  withdrawal  payments.
Shares acquired without a sales charge will be redeemed first.  Shares acquired with reinvested  dividends and capital
gains  distributions  will be redeemed next,  followed by shares acquired with a sales charge, to the extent necessary
to make withdrawal payments.  Depending upon the amount withdrawn, the investor's principal may be depleted.  Payments
made under these plans should not be considered as a yield or income on your investment.

         The Transfer Agent will administer the investor's  Automatic  Withdrawal Plan as agent for the shareholder(s)
(the  "Planholder") who executed the Plan authorization and application  submitted to the Transfer Agent.  Neither the
Fund nor the  Transfer  Agent shall incur any  liability  to the  Planholder  for any action taken or not taken by the
Transfer  Agent in good faith to administer  the Plan.  Share  certificates  will not be issued for shares of the Fund
purchased  for and held under the Plan,  but the  Transfer  Agent will  credit all such  shares to the  account of the
Planholder on the records of the Fund. Any share  certificates  held by a Planholder may be surrendered  unendorsed to
the Transfer Agent with the Plan  application so that the shares  represented by the certificate may be held under the
Plan.

         For accounts  subject to Automatic  Withdrawal  Plans,  distributions  of capital gains must be reinvested in
shares of the Fund,  which will be done at net asset value  without a sales  charge.  Dividends  on shares held in the
account may be paid in cash or reinvested.

         Shares will be  redeemed to make  withdrawal  payments  at the net asset  value per share  determined  on the
redemption  date.  Checks or  AccountLink  payments  representing  the proceeds of Plan  withdrawals  will normally be
transmitted  three  business  days prior to the date  selected  for receipt of the  payment,  according  to the choice
specified in writing by the Planholder. Receipt of payment on the date selected cannot be guaranteed.

         The amount and the  interval of  disbursement  payments  and the address to which  checks are to be mailed or
AccountLink  payments are to be sent may be changed at any time by the  Planholder  by writing to the Transfer  Agent.
The Planholder  should allow at least two weeks' time after mailing such  notification  for the requested change to be
put in effect.  The Planholder  may, at any time,  instruct the Transfer Agent by written notice to redeem all, or any
part of, the shares held under the Plan.  That notice must be in proper form in accordance  with the  requirements  of
the  then-current  Prospectus of the Fund. In that case, the Transfer Agent will redeem the number of shares requested
at the net asset value per share in effect and will mail a check for the proceeds to the Planholder.

         The  Planholder  may  terminate a Plan at any time by writing to the Transfer  Agent.  The Fund may also give
directions to the Transfer  Agent to terminate a Plan.  The Transfer Agent will also terminate a Plan upon its receipt
of evidence  satisfactory to it that the Planholder has died or is legally  incapacitated.  Upon termination of a Plan
by the Transfer  Agent or the Fund,  shares that have not been  redeemed  will be held in  uncertificated  form in the
name of the  Planholder.  The account will  continue as a  dividend-reinvestment,  uncertificated  account  unless and
until proper  instructions are received from the Planholder,  his or her executor or guardian,  or another  authorized
person.

         To use shares  held under the Plan as  collateral  for a debt,  the  Planholder  may  request  issuance  of a
portion of the shares in  certificated  form.  Upon written  request  from the  Planholder,  the  Transfer  Agent will
determine the number of shares for which a certificate  may be issued without  causing the withdrawal  checks to stop.
However, should such uncertificated shares become exhausted, Plan withdrawals will terminate.

         If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer  agent for the Fund,  the  Planholder  will be deemed to have
appointed any successor transfer agent to act as agent in administering the Plan.

How to Exchange Shares

As stated in the Prospectus,  shares of a particular  class of Oppenheimer  funds having more than one class of shares
may be exchanged only for shares of the same class of other Oppenheimer  funds.  Shares of Oppenheimer funds that have
a single class without a class  designation  are deemed  "Class A" shares for this  purpose.  You can obtain a current
list showing which funds offer which classes by calling the Distributor at 1.800.525.7048.

o        All of the Oppenheimer  funds currently offer Class A, B and C shares except  Oppenheimer  Money Market Fund,
     Inc., Centennial Money Market Trust,  Centennial Tax Exempt Trust,  Centennial  Government Trust,  Centennial New
     York Tax Exempt Trust,  Centennial  California Tax Exempt Trust,  and Centennial  America Fund,  L.P., which only
     offer Class A shares.
o        Class B, Class C and Class N shares of  Oppenheimer  Cash Reserves are generally  available  only by exchange
     from the same class of shares of other Oppenheimer funds or through OppenheimerFunds-sponsored 401(k) plans.
o        Only certain  Oppenheimer  funds  currently  offer Class Y shares.  Class Y shares of Oppenheimer  Real Asset
     Fund may not be exchanged for shares of any other fund.
o        Only certain  Oppenheimer  funds currently offer Class N shares,  which are only offered to retirement  plans
     as described in the  Prospectus.  Class N shares can be  exchanged  only for Class N shares of other  Oppenheimer
     funds.
o        Class M shares of Oppenheimer  Convertible  Securities Fund may be exchanged only for Class A shares of other
     Oppenheimer  funds.  They may not be acquired by exchange of shares of any class of any other  Oppenheimer  funds
     except Class A shares of  Oppenheimer  Money Market Fund or  Oppenheimer  Cash  Reserves  acquired by exchange of
     Class M shares.
o        Class X shares of Limited  Term New York  Municipal  Fund can be  exchanged  only for Class B shares of other
     Oppenheimer funds and no exchanges may be made to Class X shares.
o        Shares of Oppenheimer  Capital  Preservation Fund may not be exchanged for shares of Oppenheimer Money Market
     Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Cash Reserves or Oppenheimer  Limited-Term  Government Fund. Only participants in certain
     retirement plans may purchase shares of Oppenheimer  Capital  Preservation  Fund, and only those participants may
     exchange shares of other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund.
o        Class A shares  of  Oppenheimer  Senior  Floating  Rate  Fund are not  available  by  exchange  of  shares of
     Oppenheimer  Money Market Fund or Class A shares of  Oppenheimer  Cash  Reserves.  Shares of  Oppenheimer  Senior
     Floating  Rate Fund may only be sold or  exchanged  in a  quarterly  repurchase  offer.  If any Class A shares of
     another  Oppenheimer  fund that are exchanged  for Class A shares of  Oppenheimer  Senior  Floating Rate Fund are
     subject to the Class A contingent  deferred sales charge of the other  Oppenheimer  fund at the time of exchange,
     the holding  period for that Class A  contingent  deferred  sales charge will carry over to the Class A shares of
     Oppenheimer  Senior  Floating  Rate Fund  acquired  in the  exchange.  The Class A shares of  Oppenheimer  Senior
     Floating  Rate  Fund  acquired  in that  exchange  will be  subject  to the  Class A Early  Withdrawal  Charge of
     Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund if they are repurchased before the expiration of the holding period.
o        Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y Shares of Oppenheimer  Select  Managers  Mercury  Advisors S&P
     Index Fund and Oppenheimer  Select  Managers QM Active  Balanced Fund are only available to retirement  plans and
     are  available  only by  exchange  from the same class of shares of other  Oppenheimer  funds held by  retirement
     plans.

         Class A shares of  Oppenheimer  funds may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of any money market fund
offered by the  Distributor.  Shares of any money market fund  purchased  without a sales charge may be exchanged  for
shares of  Oppenheimer  funds offered with a sales charge upon payment of the sales  charge.  They may also be used to
purchase shares of Oppenheimer funds subject to an early withdrawal charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

         Shares of Oppenheimer  Money Market Fund,  Inc.  purchased  with the  redemption  proceeds of shares of other
mutual funds (other than funds managed by the Manager or its  subsidiaries)  redeemed within the 30 days prior to that
purchase may  subsequently  be exchanged  for shares of other  Oppenheimer  funds  without being subject to an initial
sales charge or  contingent  deferred  sales charge.  To qualify for that  privilege,  the investor or the  investor's
dealer must notify the  Distributor  of eligibility  for this  privilege at the time the shares of  Oppenheimer  Money
Market Fund, Inc. are purchased. If requested, they must supply proof of entitlement to this privilege.

         Shares of the Fund acquired by reinvestment of dividends or distributions  from any of the other  Oppenheimer
funds or from any unit investment trust for which  reinvestment  arrangements  have been made with the Distributor may
be exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds.

         The Fund may amend,  suspend or terminate  the exchange  privilege at any time.  Although the Fund may impose
these  changes at any time,  it will  provide  you with  notice of those  changes  whenever it is required to do so by
applicable  law. It may be  required  to provide 60 days  notice  prior to  materially  amending  or  terminating  the
exchange privilege. That 60 day notice is not required in extraordinary circumstances.

         |X| How Exchanges Affect Contingent  Deferred Sales Charges.  No contingent  deferred sales charge is imposed
on exchanges of shares of any class purchased  subject to a contingent  deferred sales charge.  However,  when Class A
shares acquired by exchange of Class A shares of other  Oppenheimer  funds  purchased  subject to a Class A contingent
deferred sales charge are redeemed  within 18 months of the end of the calendar  month of the initial  purchase of the
exchanged Class A shares,  the Class A contingent  deferred sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares.  The Class
B contingent  deferred  sales charge is imposed on Class B shares  acquired by exchange if they are redeemed  within 6
years of the initial  purchase of the  exchanged  Class B shares.  The Class C  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is
imposed on Class C shares  acquired by exchange if they are redeemed  within 12 months of the initial  purchase of the
exchanged  Class C shares.  The Class N  contingent  deferred  sales  charge is imposed on Class N shares  acquired by
exchange if they are redeemed within eighteen (18) months of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class N shares.

         When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are  redeemed to effect an  exchange,  the  priorities  described  in
"How To Buy Shares" in the Prospectus  for the  imposition of the Class B, Class C or the Class N contingent  deferred
sales charge will be followed in determining the order in which the shares are exchanged.  Before  exchanging  shares,
shareholders  should take into account how the exchange may affect any contingent  deferred sales charge that might be
imposed in the subsequent redemption of remaining shares.

         Shareholders owning shares of more than one class must specify which class of shares they wish to exchange.

         |X| Limits on Multiple  Exchange Orders.  The Fund reserves the right to reject telephone or written exchange
requests  submitted in bulk by anyone on behalf of more than one account.  The Fund may accept  requests for exchanges
of up to 50 accounts per day from representatives of authorized dealers that qualify for this privilege.

         |X| Telephone  Exchange  Requests.  When exchanging shares by telephone,  a shareholder must have an existing
account in the fund to which the exchange is to be made.  Otherwise,  the  investors  must obtain a Prospectus of that
fund before the exchange  request may be submitted.  If all telephone lines are busy (which might occur,  for example,
during periods of substantial market  fluctuations),  shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by telephone
and would have to submit written exchange requests.

         |X|  Processing  Exchange  Requests.  Shares to be  exchanged  are  redeemed on the regular  business day the
Transfer Agent receives an exchange request in proper form (the "Redemption  Date").  Normally,  shares of the fund to
be  acquired  are  purchased  on the  Redemption  Date,  but such  purchases  may be delayed by either fund up to five
business days if it determines that it would be  disadvantaged  by an immediate  transfer of the redemption  proceeds.
The Fund  reserves  the right,  in its  discretion,  to refuse any  exchange  request  that may  disadvantage  it. For
example,  if the receipt of multiple  exchange  requests  from a dealer  might  require the  disposition  of portfolio
securities at a time or at a price that might be disadvantageous to the Fund, the Fund may refuse the request.

         When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another,  any special  account  feature such as
an Asset  Builder  Plan or Automatic  Withdrawal  Plan,  will be switched to the new fund account  unless you tell the
Transfer Agent not to do so. However,  special  redemption and exchange features such as Automatic  Exchange Plans and
Automatic Withdrawal Plans cannot be switched to an account in Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund.

         In  connection  with any  exchange  request,  the  number of  shares  exchanged  may be less than the  number
requested if the exchange or the number requested would include shares subject

to a  restriction  cited in the  Prospectus  or this  Statement of Additional  Information,  or would  include  shares
covered by a share  certificate that is not tendered with the request.  In those cases,  only the shares available for
exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

         The different  Oppenheimer funds available for exchange have different  investment  objectives,  policies and
risks.  A shareholder  should assure that the fund selected is  appropriate  for his or her  investment  and should be
aware of the tax consequences of an exchange.  For federal income tax purposes,  an exchange transaction is treated as
a redemption of shares of one fund and a purchase of shares of another.  "Reinvestment  Privilege,"  above,  discusses
some of the tax  consequences of reinvestment of redemption  proceeds in such cases.  The Fund, the  Distributor,  and
the Transfer  Agent are unable to provide  investment,  tax or legal advice to a  shareholder  in  connection  with an
exchange request or any other investment transaction.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends  and  Distributions.  Dividends  will be  payable  on  shares  held of  record  at the time of the  previous
determination  of net asset value,  or as otherwise  described in "How to Buy  Shares."  Daily  dividends  will not be
declared or paid on newly  purchased  shares  until such time as federal  funds  (funds  credited  to a member  bank's
account at the Federal  Reserve  Bank) are available  from the purchase  payment for such shares.  Normally,  purchase
checks  received from  investors are converted to federal  funds on the next business day.  Shares  purchased  through
dealers or brokers normally are paid for by the third business day following the placement of the purchase order.

         Shares redeemed  through the regular  redemption  procedure will be paid dividends  through and including the
day on which the redemption  request is received by the Transfer  Agent in proper form.  Dividends will be declared on
shares  repurchased  by a dealer or broker  for three  business  days  following  the trade  date  (that is, up to and
including  the day prior to  settlement of the  repurchase).  If all shares in an account are redeemed,  all dividends
accrued on shares of the same class in the account will be paid together with the redemption proceeds.

         The Fund has no fixed  dividend  rate for  Class  B,  Class C,  Class N or Class Y  shares,  and the rate can
change for Class A shares.  There can be no assurance as to the payment of any  dividends  or the  realization  of any
capital  gains.  The dividends and  distributions  paid by a class of shares will vary from time to time  depending on
market  conditions,  the composition of the Fund's portfolio,  and expenses borne by the Fund or borne separately by a
class.  Dividends are  calculated in the same manner,  at the same time, and on the same day for each class of shares.
However,  dividends  on Class B, Class C and Class N shares are  expected  to be lower than  dividends  on Class A and
Class Y  shares.  That is  because  of the  effect of the  asset-based  sales  charge on Class B,  Class C and Class N
shares.  Those  dividends will also differ in amount as a consequence of any difference in the net asset values of the
different classes of shares.

         Dividends,  distributions  and proceeds of the redemption of Fund shares  represented  by checks  returned to
the Transfer  Agent by the Postal  Service as  undeliverable  will be invested in shares of  Oppenheimer  Money Market
Fund,  Inc.  Reinvestment  will be made as promptly as possible after the return of such checks to the Transfer Agent,
to enable  the  investor  to earn a return on  otherwise  idle  funds.  Unclaimed  accounts  may be  subject  to state
escheatment  laws, and the Fund and the Transfer  Agent will not be liable to  shareholders  or their  representatives
for compliance with those laws in good faith.

Tax Status of the Fund's Dividends,  Distributions and Redemptions of Shares.  The federal tax treatment of the Fund's
dividends and capital gains  distributions is briefly  highlighted in the Prospectus.  The following is only a summary
of certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the Fund and its shareholders.

         The tax  discussion in the  Prospectus  and this  Statement of Additional  Information is based on tax law in
effect on the date of the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional  Information.  Those laws and regulations may be
changed by legislative,  judicial,  or administrative  action,  sometimes with retroactive effect. State and local tax
treatment of ordinary  income  dividends and capital gain  dividends from  regulated  investment  companies may differ
from the treatment under the Internal  Revenue Code described  below.  Potential  purchasers of shares of the Fund are
urged  to  consult  their  tax  advisers  with  specific  reference  to  their  own tax  circumstances  as well as the
consequences of  federal, state and local tax rules affecting an investment in the Fund.

         |X|  Qualification  as a  Regulated  Investment  Company.  The Fund has  elected  to be taxed as a  regulated
investment  company under  Subchapter M of the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  As a regulated  investment
company,  the Fund is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its investment  company taxable income (that
is, taxable interest,  dividends,  and other taxable ordinary income net of expenses,  and net short-term capital gain
in excess of long-term  capital loss) and capital gain net income (that is, the excess of net long-term  capital gains
over net short-term  capital  losses) that it  distributes to  shareholders.  That  qualification  enables the Fund to
"pass through" its income and realized capital gains to shareholders  without having to pay tax on them. This avoids a
"double  tax" on that income and  capital  gains,  since  shareholders  normally  will be taxed on the  dividends  and
capital  gains  they  receive  from the Fund  (unless  their  Fund  shares  are held in a  retirement  account  or the
shareholder is otherwise  exempt from tax).  The Internal  Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests relating to
qualification  that the Fund might not meet in a  particular  year.  If it did not qualify as a  regulated  investment
company,  the Fund would be treated for tax purposes as an ordinary  corporation  and would  receive no tax  deduction
for payments made to shareholders.

         To qualify  as a  regulated  investment  company,  the Fund must  distribute  at least 90% of its  investment
company  taxable  income (in brief,  net  investment  income and the excess of net  short-term  capital  gain over net
long-term  capital loss) for the taxable year. The Fund must also satisfy  certain other  requirements of the Internal
Revenue Code,  some of which are  described  below.  Distributions  by the Fund made during the taxable year or, under
specified  circumstances,  within twelve months after the close of the taxable year, will be considered  distributions
of income  and gains  for the  taxable  year and will  therefore  count  toward  satisfaction  of the  above-mentioned
requirement.

         To qualify as a regulated  investment  company,  the Fund must  derive at least 90% of its gross  income from
dividends,  interest,  certain payments with respect to securities loans,  gains from the sale or other disposition of
stock or securities or foreign  currencies  (to the extent such currency  gains are directly  related to the regulated
investment company's principal business of investing in stock or securities) and certain other income.

         In addition to satisfying the requirements  described  above, the Fund must satisfy an asset  diversification
test in order to qualify as a  regulated  investment  company.  Under that test,  at the close of each  quarter of the
Fund's  taxable  year,  at least 50% of the value of the  Fund's  assets  must  consist of cash and cash  items,  U.S.
government  securities,  securities of other regulated  investment  companies,  and securities of other issuers. As to
each of those  issuers,  the Fund  must not have  invested  more than 5% of the value of the  Fund's  total  assets in
securities of each such issuer and the Fund must not hold more than 10% of the outstanding  voting  securities of each
such  issuer.  No more than 25% of the value of its total assets may be invested in the  securities  of any one issuer
(other than U.S.  government  securities and securities of other regulated  investment  companies),  or in two or more
issuers which the Fund  controls and which are engaged in the same or similar  trades or  businesses.  For purposes of
this test,  obligations  issued or guaranteed by certain  agencies or  instrumentalities  of the U.S.  government  are
treated as U.S. government securities.

         |X| Excise Tax on Regulated  Investment  Companies.  Under the  Internal  Revenue  Code,  by December 31 each
year,  the Fund must  distribute  98% of its taxable  investment  income earned from January 1 through  December 31 of
that year and 98% of its capital  gains  realized in the period from  November 1 of the prior year through  October 31
of the current year. If it does not, the Fund must pay an excise tax on the amounts not  distributed.  It is presently
anticipated that the Fund will meet those requirements.  To meet this requirement,  in certain  circumstances the Fund
might be required to liquidate portfolio  investments to make sufficient  distributions to avoid excise tax liability.
However,  the Board of Trustees and the Manager  might  determine  in a  particular  year that it would be in the best
interests of  shareholders  for the Fund not to make such  distributions  at the required levels and to pay the excise
tax on the undistributed  amounts.  That would reduce the amount of income or capital gains available for distribution
to shareholders.

         |X| Taxation of Fund  Distributions.  The Fund anticipates  distributing  substantially all of its investment
company taxable income for each taxable year. Those  distributions  will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income
and treated as dividends for federal income tax purposes.


         Special  provisions  of the Internal  Revenue Code govern the  eligibility  of the Fund's  dividends  for the
dividends-received  deduction for corporate  shareholders.  Long-term capital gains distributions are not eligible for
the  deduction.  The  amount of  dividends  paid by the Fund that may  qualify  for the  deduction  is  limited to the
aggregate amount of qualifying  dividends that the Fund derives from portfolio  investments that the Fund has held for
a minimum period,  usually 46 days. A corporate  shareholder  will not be eligible for the deduction on dividends paid
on Fund  shares  held for 45 days or less.  To the extent the Fund's  dividends  are  derived  from gross  income from
option  premiums,  interest  income  or  short-term  gains  from the sale of  securities  or  dividends  from  foreign
corporations,  those  dividends  will not qualify for the deduction.  Since it is anticipated  that most of the Fund's
income  will be  derived  from  interest  it  receives  on its  investments,  the Fund  does not  anticipate  that its
distributions will qualify for this deduction.

         The Fund may either  retain or  distribute to  shareholders  its net capital gain for each taxable year.  The
Fund currently  intends to distribute any such amounts.  If net long term capital gains are distributed and designated
as a capital gain  distribution,  it will be taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gain. It does not matter how
long the  shareholder  has held  his or her  shares  or  whether  that  gain was  recognized  by the Fund  before  the
shareholder acquired his or her shares.

         If the Fund  elects  to  retain  its net  capital  gain,  the Fund  will be  subject  to tax on it at the 35%
corporate  tax rate.  If the Fund elects to retain its net capital  gain, it is expected that the Fund also will elect
to have  shareholders  of record on the last day of its taxable year  treated as if each  received a  distribution  of
their pro rata  share of such gain.  As a result,  each  shareholder  will be  required  to report his or her pro rata
share of such gain on their tax return as long-term  capital  gain,  will receive a refundable  tax credit for his/her
pro rata share of tax paid by the Fund on the gain,  and will  increase the tax basis for his/her  shares by an amount
equal to the deemed distribution less the tax credit.

         Investment  income that may be received by the Fund from sources within  foreign  countries may be subject to
foreign taxes  withheld at the source.  The United  States has entered into tax treaties  with many foreign  countries
which entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such income.

         Distributions  by the Fund that do not constitute  ordinary  income  dividends or capital gain  distributions
will be treated as a return of capital to the extent of the shareholder's  tax basis in their shares.  Any excess will
be treated as gain from the sale of those shares,  as discussed  below.  Shareholders  will be advised  annually as to
the U.S.  federal  income  tax  consequences  of  distributions  made (or  deemed  made)  during  the  year.  If prior
distributions  made by the Fund must be  re-characterized  as a non-taxable return of capital at the end of the fiscal
year as a result of the effect of the Fund's investment  policies,  they will be identified as such in notices sent to
shareholders.

         Distributions  by the  Fund  will be  treated  in the  manner  described  above  regardless  of  whether  the
distributions  are paid in cash or  reinvested  in additional  shares of the Fund (or of another  fund).  Shareholders
receiving a distribution  in the form of additional  shares will be treated as receiving a  distribution  in an amount
equal to the fair market value of the shares received, determined as of the reinvestment date.

         The Fund will be  required  in certain  cases to  withhold  and remit to the U.S.  Treasury  31% of  ordinary
income  dividends  and  capital  gains  distributions  and the  proceeds  of the  redemption  of  shares,  paid to any
shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a correct,  certified taxpayer  identification number, (2) who is subject to
backup  withholding for failure to report the receipt of interest or dividend income  properly,  or (3) who has failed
to certify to the Fund that the  shareholder is not subject to backup  withholding or is an "exempt  recipient"  (such
as a corporation).

         |X| Tax Effects of Redemptions of Shares.  If a shareholder  redeems all or a portion of his/her shares,  the
shareholder  will  recognize a gain or loss on the redeemed  shares in an amount equal to the  difference  between the
proceeds of the redeemed shares and the shareholder's  adjusted tax basis in the shares.  All or a portion of any loss
recognized  in that manner may be  disallowed  if the  shareholder  purchases  other shares of the Fund within 30 days
before or after the redemption.

         In general,  any gain or loss arising from the  redemption of shares of the Fund will be  considered  capital
gain or loss,  if the shares were held as a capital  asset.  It will be  long-term  capital gain or loss if the shares
were held for more than one year.  However,  any  capital  loss  arising  from the  redemption  of shares held for six
months or less will be treated as a  long-term  capital  loss to the  extent of the amount of capital  gain  dividends
received  on those  shares.  Special  holding  period  rules  under the  Internal  Revenue  Code apply in this case to
determine the holding period of shares and there are limits on the deductibility of capital losses in any year.

         |X| Foreign  Shareholders.  Taxation of a  shareholder  who under United  States law is a  nonresident  alien
individual,   foreign  trust  or  estate,  foreign  corporation,   or  foreign  partnership  depends  on  whether  the
shareholder's  income  from  the Fund is  effectively  connected  with a U.S.  trade or  business  carried  on by such
shareholder.

         If the income  from the Fund is not  effectively  connected  with a U.S.  trade or  business  carried on by a
foreign  shareholder,  ordinary income dividends paid to such foreign shareholder will be subject to U.S.  withholding
tax. The rate of the tax depends on a number of factors.  If the income from the Fund is effectively  connected with a
U.S. trade or business carried on by a foreign  shareholder,  then ordinary income dividends,  capital gain dividends,
and any gains  realized  upon the sale of shares of the Fund will be subject to U.S.  federal  income tax at the rates
applicable to U.S. citizens or domestic corporations.

         In the case of a foreign  non-corporate  shareholder,  the Fund may be  required  to  withhold  U.S.  federal
income tax at a rate of 31% on  distributions  that are otherwise exempt from withholding tax (or taxable at a reduced
treaty rate) unless the shareholder furnishes the Fund with proper notification of their foreign status.

         The tax  consequences  to a foreign  shareholder  entitled to claim the benefits of an applicable  tax treaty
may be different from those described  herein.  Foreign  shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisers with
respect to the  particular  tax  consequences  to them of an investment in the Fund,  including the  applicability  of
foreign taxes.

Dividend  Reinvestment in Another Fund.  Shareholders  of the Fund may elect to reinvest all dividends  and/or capital
gains  distributions  in shares of the same class of any of the other  Oppenheimer  funds listed  above.  Reinvestment
will be made  without  sales charge at the net asset value per share in effect at the close of business on the payable
date of the  dividend or  distribution.  To elect this  option,  the  shareholder  must notify the  Transfer  Agent in
writing and must have an existing  account in the fund  selected for  reinvestment.  Otherwise the  shareholder  first
must obtain a prospectus for that fund and an  application  from the  Distributor  to establish an account.  Dividends
and/or  distributions  from shares of certain other  Oppenheimer  funds (other than  Oppenheimer Cash Reserves) may be
invested in shares of this Fund on the same basis.

Additional Information About the Fund

The Distributor.  The Fund's shares are sold through  dealers,  brokers and other financial  institutions  that have a
sales  agreement  with  OppenheimerFunds  Distributor,  Inc.,  a  subsidiary  of the  Manager  that acts as the Fund's
Distributor.  The Distributor also distributes shares of the other Oppenheimer funds and is sub-distributor  for funds
managed by a subsidiary of the Manager.

The Transfer  Agent.  OppenheimerFunds  Services,  the Fund's  Transfer  Agent,  is a division of the  Manager.  It is
responsible  for maintaining  the Fund's  shareholder  registry and  shareholder  accounting  records,  and for paying
dividends and distributions to shareholders.  It also handles shareholder servicing and administrative  functions.  It
serves as the  Transfer  Agent for an annual per account  fee.  It also acts as  shareholder  servicing  agent for the
other  Oppenheimer  funds.  Shareholders  should direct  inquiries  about their  accounts to the Transfer Agent at the
address and toll-free numbers shown on the back cover.

The  Custodian.  The Bank of New York is the custodian of the Fund's  assets.  The custodian  bank's  responsibilities
include  safeguarding and controlling the Fund's portfolio  securities and handling the delivery of such securities to
and from the Fund. It will be the practice of the Fund to deal with the  custodian  bank in a manner  uninfluenced  by
any banking  relationship  the custodian bank may have with the Manager and its  affiliates.  The Fund's cash balances
with the  custodian  bank in excess of $100,000  are not  protected  by federal  deposit  insurance.  Those  uninsured
balances at times may be substantial.

Independent  Auditors.  Deloitte  & Touche  LLP are the  independent  auditors  of the Fund.  They  audit  the  Fund's
financial  statements and perform other related audit services.  They also act as auditors for the Manager and certain
other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates.

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS Continued


Footnotes to Statement of Investments

1. Identifies issues considered to be illiquid or restricted. See Note 8 of
Notes to Financial Statements.
2. Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have
been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of
Trustees. These securities amount to $96,976,340 or 19.19% of the Fund's net
assets as of December 31, 2001.
3. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate
security.
4. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly
interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities
typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income
securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount
of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest
is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to
changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for
example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields
based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash
flows.
5. When-issued security to be delivered and settled after December 31, 2001.
6. Securities with an aggregate market value of $3,885,478 are held in
collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures
sales contracts. See Note 6 of Notes to Financial Statements.
7. Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal
payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities
generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The
price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing
bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields
based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows.
8. Issuer is in default.
9. Non-income-producing security.
10. Interest or dividend is paid in kind.
11. Denotes a step bond: a zero coupon bond that converts to a fixed or variable
interest rate at a designated future date.

See accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Bond Fund (the Fund) is a separate fund of Oppenheimer Integrity
Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund's investment objective is to seek a
high level of current income by investing mainly in debt instruments. The Fund's
investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).

   The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares. Class
A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value
plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold
without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge (CDSC). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans.
Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts.
Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a
front-end sales charge or a CDSC. All classes of shares have identical rights to
earnings, assets and voting privileges, except that each class has its own
expenses directly attributable to that class and exclusive voting rights with
respect to matters affecting that class. Classes A, B, C and N have separate
distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y
shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares six years
after the date of purchase. The following is a summary of significant accounting
policies consistently followed by the Fund.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Securities Valuation. Securities listed or traded on National Stock Exchanges or
other domestic or foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price of
the security traded on that exchange 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 closing bid
and asked prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities (including
restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available are valued
primarily using dealer-supplied valuations, a portfolio pricing service
authorized by the Board of Trustees, or at their fair value. Fair value is
determined in good faith under consistently applied procedures under the
supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term "money market type" debt
securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at
amortized cost (which approximates market value).

Securities Purchased on a When-Issued Basis. Delivery and payment for securities
that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis can take place a
month or more after the trade date. Normally the settlement date occurs within
six months after the trade date; however, the Fund may, from time to time,
purchase securities whose settlement date extends beyond six months or more
beyond trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are
subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to
their delivery. The Fund maintains segregated assets with a market value equal
to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of
securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund's net
asset value to the extent the Fund makes such purchases while remaining
substantially

related securities. Forward roll transactions require the sale of securities for
delivery in the current month, and a simultaneous agreement with the same
counterparty to repurchase similar (same type, coupon and maturity) but not
identical securities on a specified future date. The forward roll may not extend
for a period of greater than one year. The Fund generally records the
incremental difference between the forward purchase and sell of each forward
roll as interest income.

   Risks to the Fund of entering into forward roll transactions include the
potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the
potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities to what was sold to the
counterparty at redelivery; counterparty credit risk; and the potential pay down
speed variance between the mortgage-related pools.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Security Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield securities, which may be
subject to a greater degree of credit risk, greater market fluctuations and risk
of loss of income and principal, and may be more sensitive to economic
conditions than lower yielding, higher rated fixed income securities. The Fund
may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities
whose issuers subsequently default. As of December 31, 2001, securities with an
aggregate market value of $5,852,675, representing 1.16% of the Fund's net
assets, were in default.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Foreign Currency Translation. The accounting records of the Fund are maintained
in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are
translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange. Amounts related
to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are
translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such
transactions.

    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.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repurchase Agreements. The Fund requires its custodian bank to take possession,
to have legally segregated in the Federal Reserve Book Entry System or to have
segregated within the custodian's vault, all securities held as collateral for
repurchase agreements. The market value of the underlying securities is required
to be at least 102% of the resale price at the time of purchase. If the seller
of the agreement defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if the
seller enters an insolvency proceeding, realization of the value of the
collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited.

                          34 | OPPENHEIMER BOND FUND


- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than
those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated daily to
each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets
represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a
specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to continue to comply with provisions of the
Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to
distribute all of its taxable income, including any net realized gain on
investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no
federal income or excise tax provision is required.

As of December 31, 2001, the Fund had available for federal income tax purposes
unused capital loss carryovers as follows:

- ----------------------------------
2003                  $   748,553
2004                    1,106,500
2007                   10,208,297
2008                   13,887,954
                      ------------
Total                 $25,951,304
                      ============

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, the Fund utilized $4,380,862 of
capital loss carryover to offset capital gains realized in the current fiscal
year.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to
shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations,
are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Classification of Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Net investment
income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement
and tax purposes primarily because of paydown gains and losses and the
recognition of certain foreign currency gains (losses) as ordinary income (loss)
for tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the
fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from
their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to
timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are
distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or realized gain
was recorded by the Fund.

   The Fund adjusts the classification of distributions to shareholders to
reflect the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions
determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the
year ended December 31, 2001, amounts have been reclassified to reflect an
increase in paid-in capital of $2,663,544, a decrease in undistributed net
investment income of $280,793 and an increase in accumulated net realized loss
on investments of $2,944,337. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the
reclassifications.

 1.Significant Accounting Policies Continued

 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. Noncash dividends included in dividend
 income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities
 received. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and
 amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Security Transactions. Security transactions are accounted for as of trade
 date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of
 identified cost.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Other. The Fund adopted the provisions of the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide
 for Investment Companies, as revised, effective for fiscal years beginning
 after December 15, 2000. The Fund elected to begin amortizing premiums on debt
 securities effective January 1, 2001. Prior to this date, the Fund did not
 amortize premiums on debt securities. The cumulative effect of this accounting
 change had no impact on the total net assets of the Fund, but resulted in a
 $331,883 decrease to cost of securities and a corresponding $331,883 decrease
 in net unrealized depreciation, based on securities held as of December 31,
 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2001, interest income decreased by
 $489,625, net realized gain on investments decreased by $220,994, and the
 change in net unrealized depreciation on investments decreased by $710,619.

    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 income and
 expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
 estimates.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Management fees paid to the Manager were in accordance with the
investment advisory agreement with the Fund which provides for a fee of 0.75% of
the first $200 million of average annual net assets of the Fund, 0.72% of the
next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200
million, 0.60% of the next $200 million and 0.50% of average annual net assets
in excess of $1 billion. The Fund's management fee for the year ended December
31, 2001, was an annualized rate of 0.73%.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (OFS), a division of the Manager,
acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays
OFS an agreed upon per account fee. Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to
minimum fees of $5,000 for assets of less than $10 million and $10,000 for
assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fee
in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable
minimum fee.
     OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing
agent fees to 0.25% per annum of Class Y shares, effective January 1, 2001, and
for all other classes, 0.35% per annum, effective October 1, 2001. This
undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distribution and Service Plan Fees. Under its General Distributor's Agreement
with the Manager, the Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in
the continuous public offering of the different classes of shares of the Fund.

The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares and Distribution and
Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the
Investment Company Act. Under those plans the Fund pays the Distributor for all
or a portion of its costs incurred in connection with the distribution and/or
servicing of the shares of the particular class.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class A Service Plan Fees. Under the Class A service plan, the Distributor
currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers, dealers and
other financial institutions. The Class A service plan permits reimbursements to
the Distributor at a rate of up to a specified percent of average annual net
assets of Class A shares purchased. The Distributor makes payments to plan
recipients quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed a specified percent of the
average annual net assets consisting of Class A shares of the Fund. For the year
ended December 31, 2001, payments under the Class A plan totaled $582,277, all
of which were paid by the Distributor to recipients, and included $110,787 paid
to an affiliate of the Manager. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs
with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in
subsequent years.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B, Class C and Class N Distribution and Service Plan Fees. Under each
plan, service fees and distribution fees are computed on the average of the net
asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the close of
each regular business day during the period. The Class B, Class C and Class N
plans provide for the Distributor to be compensated at a flat rate, whether the
Distributor's distribution expenses are more or less than the amounts paid by
the Fund under the plan during the period for which the fee is paid.
     The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class B shares. The
Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class C shares during the
first year the shares are outstanding. The Distributor retains the asset-based
sales charge on Class N shares. The asset-based sales charges on Class B, Class
C and Class N shares allow investors to buy shares without a front-end sales
charge while allowing the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those
shares.
     The Distributor's actual expenses in selling Class B, Class C and Class N
shares may be more than the payments it receives from the contingent deferred
sales charges collected

If any plan is terminated by the Fund, the Board of Trustees may allow the Fund
to continue payments of the asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for
distributing shares before the plan was terminated. The plans allow for the
carryforward of distribution expenses, to be recovered from asset-based sales
charges in subsequent fiscal periods.

5. Foreign Currency Contracts

A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign
currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into foreign
currency contracts for operational purposes and to seek to protect against
adverse exchange rate fluctuations. Risks to the Fund include the potential
inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.
     The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual
commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or
depreciation are determined using foreign currency exchange rates as provided by
a reliable bank, dealer or pricing service. Unrealized appreciation and
depreciation on foreign currency contracts are reported in the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of
Operations with the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.
     The Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the
foreign currency transactions. Such realized gains and losses are reported with
all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of Operations.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a
commodity or financial instrument at a particular price on a stipulated future
date at a negotiated price. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity
exchange. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that relate to broadly
based securities indices "financial futures" or debt securities "interest rate
futures" in order to gain exposure to or to seek to protect against changes in
market value of stock and bonds or interest rates. The Fund may also buy or
write put or call options on these futures contracts.
     The Fund generally sells futures contracts to hedge against increases in
interest rates and decreases in market value of portfolio securities. The Fund
may also purchase futures

                          40 | OPPENHEIMER BOND FUND


contracts to gain exposure to market changes as it may be more efficient or cost
effective than actually buying fixed income securities.
     Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit
either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain
percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are
made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal
to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains
and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is
closed or expires.
     Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin
requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of
Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable
and/or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. Realized gains
and losses are reported on the Statement of Operations as closing and expiration
of futures contracts.
     Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the
possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value
of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the
underlying securities.

     As of December 31, 2001, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as
follows:




                                                                                    Unrealized

7. Option Activity

     The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered
call options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or
protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities.
     The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call options to
hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. When an
option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or
purchase the underlying security at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.
     Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal
exchange on which the option is traded and unrealized appreciation or
depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the
expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised,
the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written
put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is
adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.
     Securities designated to cover outstanding call options are noted in the
Statement of Investments where applicable. Shares subject to call, expiration
date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in a note
to the Statement of Investments.

7. Option Activity Continued

     Options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and
Liabilities. Realized gains and losses are reported in the Statement of
Operations.
     The risk in writing a call option is that the Fund gives up the opportunity
for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is
exercised. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if
the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk
in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is
exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk of not being able to enter into
a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.

     Written option activity for the year ended December 31, 2001, was as
follows:




                                                    Call Options                            Put Options

8. Illiquid or Restricted Securities

As of December 31, 2001, investments in securities included issues that are
illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are often purchased in private
placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may
have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved
by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also be
considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation
has not changed for a certain period of time. The Fund intends to invest no more
than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed
periodically) in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted
securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not
subject to that limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted
securities subject to this limitation as of December 31, 2001, was $39,002,135,
which represents 7.72% of the Fund's net assets, of which $1,214 is considered
restricted. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:




                                                                                               Unrealized

9. Bank Borrowings

The Fund may borrow from a bank for temporary or emergency purposes including,
without limitation, funding of shareholder redemptions provided asset coverage
for borrowings exceeds 300%. The Fund has entered into an agreement which
enables it to participate with other Oppenheimer funds in an unsecured line of
credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $400 million, collectively.
Interest is charged to each fund, based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to
the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.45%. Borrowings are payable 30 days after such
loan is executed. The Fund also pays a commitment fee equal to its pro rata
share of the average unutilized amount of the credit facility at a rate of 0.08%
per annum.
     The Fund had no borrowings outstanding during the year ended or at December
31, 2001.

                                                 RATINGS DEFINITIONS

Below are summaries of the rating  definitions used by the  nationally-recognized  rating agencies listed below. Those
ratings  represent the opinion of the agency as to the credit  quality of issues that they rate.  The summaries  below
are based upon publicly-available information provided by the rating organizations.


Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")

LONG-TERM (TAXABLE) BOND RATINGS

Aaa:  Bonds  rated  "Aaa" are  judged to be the best  quality.  They carry the  smallest  degree of  investment  risk.
Interest  payments are protected by a large or by an  exceptionally  stable margin and principal is secure.  While the
various  protective  elements are likely to change,  the changes that can be expected are most  unlikely to impair the
fundamentally strong position of such issues.

Aa: Bonds rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by all standards.  Together with the "Aaa" group,  they comprise
what are  generally  known as  high-grade  bonds.  They are  rated  lower  than the  best  bonds  because  margins  of
protection  may not be as large as with "Aaa"  securities  or  fluctuation  of  protective  elements may be of greater
amplitude or there may be other  elements  present which make the long-term risk appear  somewhat  larger than that of
"Aaa" securities.

A: Bonds rated "A" possess many  favorable  investment  attributes  and are to be  considered  as  upper-medium  grade
obligations.  Factors giving  security to principal and interest are  considered  adequate but elements may be present
which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future.

Baa:  Bonds rated "Baa" are  considered  medium-grade  obligations;  that is, they are neither  highly  protected  nor
poorly  secured.  Interest  payments and principal  security  appear  adequate for the present but certain  protective
elements  may be  lacking  or may be  characteristically  unreliable  over any great  length of time.  Such bonds lack
outstanding investment characteristics and have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba: Bonds rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative elements.  Their future cannot be considered  well-assured.  Often
the protection of interest and principal  payments may be very moderate and thereby not well  safeguarded  during both
good and bad times over the future.  Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

B: Bonds rated "B" generally lack  characteristics  of the desirable  investment.  Assurance of interest and principal
payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa:  Bonds  rated  "Caa" are of poor  standing.  Such  issues may be in default or there may be present  elements  of
danger with respect to principal or interest.

Ca: Bonds rated "Ca" represent  obligations  which are speculative in a high degree.  Such issues are often in default
or have other marked shortcomings.

C: Bonds  rated "C" are the lowest  class of rated bonds and can be regarded as having  extremely  poor  prospects  of
ever attaining any real investment standing.

Con. (...):  Bonds for which the security  depends on the  completion of some act or the  fulfillment  of some condition
are rated  conditionally.  These bonds are secured by (a)  earnings of projects  under  construction,  (b) earnings of
projects  unseasoned in operating  experience,  (c) rentals that begin when facilities are completed,  or (d) payments
to which some other  limiting  condition  attaches.  The  parenthetical  rating denotes  probable  credit stature upon
completion of construction or elimination of the basis of the condition.

Moody's applies  numerical  modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating  classification  from "Aa" through "Caa." The
modifier "1" indicates that the obligation  ranks in the higher end of its generic rating  category;  the modifier "2"
indicates a mid-range  ranking;  and the  modifier  "3"  indicates a ranking in the lower end of that  generic  rating
category. Advanced refunded issues that are secured by certain assets are identified with a # symbol.

Short-Term Ratings - Taxable Debt

These  ratings  apply to the ability of issuers to honor  senior debt  obligations  having an  original  maturity  not
exceeding one year:

Prime-1: Issuer has a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term debt obligations.

Prime-2:  Issuer has a strong  ability for  repayment  of senior  short-term  debt  obligations.  Earnings  trends and
coverage ratios,  while sound, may be more subject to variation.  Capitalization  characteristics,  while appropriate,
may be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is maintained.

Prime-3:  Issuer has an acceptable  ability for  repayment of senior  short-term  obligations.  The effect of industry
characteristics and market  compositions may be more pronounced.  Variability in earnings and profitability may result
in changes in the level of debt protection  measurements and may require relatively high financial leverage.  Adequate
alternate liquidity is maintained.

Not Prime: Issuer does not fall within any Prime rating category.


Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. ("Standard & Poor's")

LONG-TERM CREDIT RATINGS

AAA:  Bonds rated "AAA" have the highest  rating  assigned by Standard & Poor's.  The  obligor's  capacity to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation is extremely strong.

AA: Bonds rated "AA" differ from the highest  rated bonds only in small  degree.  The  obligor's  capacity to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

A: Bonds rated "A" are somewhat  more  susceptible  to the adverse  effects of changes in  circumstances  and economic
conditions  than  obligations  in  higher-rated  categories.  However,  the  obligor's  capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB: Bonds rated "BBB" exhibit  adequate  protection  parameters.  However,  adverse  economic  conditions or changing
circumstances  are more likely to lead to a weakened  capacity of the obligor to meet its financial  commitment on the
obligation.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C

Obligations  rated `BB', `B', `CCC',  `CC', and `C' are regarded as having  significant  speculative  characteristics.
`BB'  indicates the least degree of  speculation  and `C' the highest.  While such  obligations  will likely have some
quality and protective  characteristics,  these may be outweighed by large uncertainties or major exposures to adverse
conditions.

BB: Bonds rated "BB" are less  vulnerable  to  nonpayment  than other  speculative  issues.  However,  they face major
ongoing  uncertainties  or exposure to adverse  business,  financial,  or economic  conditions which could lead to the
obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

B: Bonds  rated "B" are more  vulnerable  to  nonpayment  than bonds rated "BB",  but the  obligor  currently  has the
capacity to meet its financial  commitment on the obligation.  Adverse  business,  financial,  or economic  conditions
will likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC: Bonds rated "CCC" are currently vulnerable to nonpayment,  and are dependent upon favorable business,  financial,
and economic  conditions for the obligor to meet its financial  commitment on the obligation.  In the event of adverse
business,  financial,  or economic  conditions,  the obligor is not likely to have the capacity to meet its  financial
commitment on the obligation.

CC: Bonds rated "CC" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C: Subordinated  debt or preferred stock obligations rated "C" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.  The "C"
rating may be used to cover a situation  where a  bankruptcy  petition  has been filed or similar  action  taken,  but
payments on this  obligation are being  continued.  A "C" also will be assigned to a preferred  stock issue in arrears
on dividends or sinking fund payments, but that is currently paying.

D: Bonds rated "D" are in payment  default.  The "D" rating  category is used when payments on an  obligation  are not
made on the date due even if the  applicable  grace period has not expired,  unless  Standard & Poor's  believes  that
such  payments  will be made  during  such  grace  period.  The "D"  rating  also  will be used  upon the  filing of a
bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

The  ratings  from "AA" to "CCC" may be  modified  by the  addition  of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show  relative
standing  within  the major  rating  categories.  The "r"  symbol is  attached  to the  ratings  of  instruments  with
significant noncredit risks.




SHORT-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS

A-1: A short-term bond rated "A-1" is rated in the highest  category by Standard & Poor's.  The obligor's  capacity to
meet its financial  commitment on the obligation is strong.  Within this category,  certain obligations are designated
with a plus  sign  (+).  This  indicates  that the  obligor's  capacity  to meet  its  financial  commitment  on these
obligations is extremely strong.

A-2: A short-term  bond rated "A-2" is somewhat more  susceptible to the adverse  effects of changes in  circumstances
and economic  conditions than obligations in higher rating  categories.  However,  the obligor's  capacity to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.

A-3: A short-term bond rated "A-3" exhibits adequate protection  parameters.  However,  adverse economic conditions or
changing  circumstances  are  more  likely  to lead to a  weakened  capacity  of the  obligor  to meet  its  financial
commitment on the obligation.

B: A short-term bond rated "B" is regarded as having significant  speculative  characteristics.  The obligor currently
has the capacity to meet its financial  commitment on the obligation;  however,  it faces major ongoing  uncertainties
which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

C: A short-term  bond rated "C" is currently  vulnerable  to  nonpayment  and is dependent  upon  favorable  business,
financial, and economic conditions for the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

D: A short-term bond rated "D" is in payment  default.  The "D" rating category is used when payments on an obligation
are not made on the date due even if the applicable  grace period has not expired,  unless  Standard & Poor's believes
that such  payments  will be made  during  such grace  period.  The "D" rating  also will be used upon the filing of a
bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.


Fitch, Inc.

INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM CREDIT RATINGS

Investment Grade:

AAA:  Highest Credit  Quality.  "AAA" ratings denote the lowest  expectation of credit risk. They are assigned only in
the case of  exceptionally  strong  capacity for timely  payment of  financial  commitments.  This  capacity is highly
unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA: Very High Credit  Quality.  "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk. They indicate a very strong
capacity for timely payment of financial  commitments.  This capacity is not  significantly  vulnerable to foreseeable
events.

A: High Credit  Quality.  "A" ratings  denote a low  expectation  of credit risk.  The capacity for timely  payment of
financial  commitments  is  considered  strong.  This  capacity may,  nevertheless,  be more  vulnerable to changes in
circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

BBB:  Good Credit  Quality.  "BBB"  ratings  indicate that there is currently a low  expectation  of credit risk.  The
capacity for timely payment of financial  commitments is considered  adequate,  but adverse  changes in  circumstances
and in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the lowest investment-grade category.

Speculative Grade:

BB:  Speculative.  "BB" ratings  indicate that there is a possibility of credit risk  developing,  particularly as the
result of adverse  economic change over time.  However,  business or financial  alternatives may be available to allow
financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not investment grade.

B: Highly  Speculative.  "B" ratings indicate that significant credit risk is present,  but a limited margin of safety
remains.  Financial commitments are currently being met. However,  capacity for continued payment is contingent upon a
sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

CCC, CC C: High Default Risk.  Default is a real  possibility.  Capacity for meeting  financial  commitments is solely
reliant upon sustained,  favorable  business or economic  developments.  A "CC" rating  indicates that default of some
kind appears probable. "C" ratings signal imminent default.

DDD, DD, and D:  Default.  The ratings of  obligations  in this  category are based on their  prospects  for achieving
partial or full recovery in a  reorganization  or  liquidation  of the obligor.  While  expected  recovery  values are
highly  speculative  and cannot be estimated  with any precision,  the following  serve as general  guidelines.  "DDD"
obligations  have the highest  potential for recovery,  around 90%-100% of outstanding  amounts and accrued  interest.
"DD" indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and "D" the lowest recovery potential, i.e., below 50%.

Entities  rated in this category have  defaulted on some or all of their  obligations.  Entities  rated "DDD" have the
highest  prospect for  resumption  of  performance  or  continued  operation  with or without a formal  reorganization
process.  Entities rated "DD" and "D" are generally undergoing a formal  reorganization or liquidation process;  those
rated "DD" are likely to satisfy a higher portion of their  outstanding  obligations,  while entities rated "D" have a
poor prospect for repaying all obligations.

Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating  symbol to denote  relative  status  within the major  rating
categories.  Plus and  minus  signs  are not  added  to the  "AAA"  category  or to  categories  below  "CCC,"  nor to
short-term ratings other than "F1" (see below).

INTERNATIONAL SHORT-TERM CREDIT RATINGS

F1: Highest credit  quality.  Strongest  capacity for timely payment of financial  commitments.  May have an added "+"
to denote any exceptionally strong credit feature.

F2: Good credit  quality.  A  satisfactory  capacity for timely  payment of financial  commitments,  but the margin of
safety is not as great as in the case of higher ratings.

F3: Fair credit  quality.  Capacity  for timely  payment of financial  commitments  is  adequate.  However,  near-term
adverse changes could result in a reduction to non-investment grade.

B:  Speculative.  Minimal  capacity  for timely  payment of financial  commitments,  plus  vulnerability  to near-term
adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.

C:  High  default  risk.  Default  is a real  possibility.  Capacity  for  meeting  financial  commitments  is  solely
reliant upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

D:     Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

9.  The term "Independent Trustees" used in reference to plans adopted under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company
Act means those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who do not have any direct or indirect
financial interest in the operation of the distribution plan or any agreement under the plan.

2 In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to
contingent deferred sales charges mean the Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to "redemptions" mean
"repurchases" of shares.
3 An "employee benefit plan" means any plan or arrangement, whether or not it is "qualified" under the Internal
Revenue Code, under which Class N shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other
administrator for the account of participants who are employees of a single employer or of affiliated employers.
These may include, for example, medical savings accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The fund
accounts must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or administrator purchasing the shares for the benefit of
participants in the plan.
4 The term "Group Retirement Plan" means any qualified or non-qualified retirement plan for employees of a

non-qualified deferred compensation plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a
single investment dealer, broker or other financial institution that has made special arrangements with the
Distributor.
5 However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts of $1 million or more (including any
right of accumulation) by a Retirement Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C

                                                      Appendix C

                            OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class A shares1 of the Oppenheimer funds or
the contingent deferred sales charge that may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.2  That is
because of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this
document as the "Distributor"), or by dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain
classes of investors.

Not all waivers apply to all funds. For example, waivers relating to Retirement Plans do not apply to Oppenheimer
municipal funds, because shares of those funds are not available for purchase by or on behalf of retirement plans.
Other waivers apply only to shareholders of certain funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus and Statement of Additional
Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds, the term "Retirement Plan" refers to the following types of plans:
              1)  plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code,
              2)  non-qualified deferred compensation plans,
              3)  employee benefit plans3
              4)  Group Retirement Plans4
              5)  403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
              6)  Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs
                  or SIMPLE plans

The interpretation of these provisions as to the applicability of a special arrangement or waiver in a particular
case is in the sole discretion of the Distributor or the transfer agent (referred to in this document as the
"Transfer Agent") of the particular Oppenheimer fund. These waivers and special arrangements may be amended or
terminated at any time by a particular fund, the Distributor, and/or OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (referred to in this
document as the "Manager").

Waivers that apply at the time shares are redeemed must be requested by the shareholder and/or dealer in the
redemption request.
I.





                     Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain Cases
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchases of Class A Shares of Oppenheimer Funds That Are Not Subject to Initial Sales Charge but May Be Subject to
the Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge (unless a waiver applies).

         There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any of the Oppenheimer funds in the
cases listed below. However, these purchases may be subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge if
redeemed within 18 months (24 months in the case of Oppenheimer Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund
Municipals) of the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, as described in the Prospectus (unless a
waiver described elsewhere in this Appendix applies to the redemption). Additionally, on shares purchased under
these waivers that are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge, the Distributor will pay the
applicable concession described in the Prospectus under "Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge."5 This waiver
provision applies to:
|_|      Purchases of Class A shares aggregating $1 million or more.
|_|      Purchases of Class A shares by a Retirement Plan that was permitted to purchase such shares at net asset
              value but subject to a contingent deferred sales charge prior to March 1, 2001. That included plans
              (other than IRA or 403(b)(7) Custodial Plans) that: 1) bought shares costing $500,000 or more, 2) had
              at the time of purchase 100 or more eligible employees or total plan assets of $500,000 or more, or 3)
              certified to the Distributor that it projects to have annual plan purchases of $200,000 or more.
|_|      Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the purchases are made:
              1)  through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment adviser that has made special arrangements
                  with the Distributor for those purchases, or
              2)  by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified Retirement Plan if the administrator of
                  that Plan has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.
|_|      Purchases of Class A shares by Retirement Plans that have any of the following record-keeping arrangements:
              1)  The record keeping is performed by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. ("Merrill Lynch") on
                  a daily valuation basis for the Retirement Plan. On the date the plan sponsor signs the
                  record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more of its
                  assets invested in (a) mutual funds, other than those advised or managed by Merrill Lynch
                  Investment Management, L.P. ("MLIM"), that are made available under a Service Agreement between
                  Merrill Lynch and the mutual fund's principal underwriter or distributor, and  (b)  funds advised
                  or managed by MLIM (the funds described in (a) and (b) are referred to as "Applicable
                  Investments").
              2)  The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a daily valuation basis by a record
                  keeper whose services are provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement Plan and
                  Merrill Lynch. On the date the plan sponsor signs the record keeping service agreement with
                  Merrill Lynch, the Plan must have $3 million or more of its assets (excluding assets invested in
                  money market funds) invested in Applicable Investments.
              3)  The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a service agreement with Merrill Lynch
                  and on the date the plan sponsor signs that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible employees
                  (as determined by the Merrill Lynch plan conversion manager).
|_|      Purchases by a Retirement  Plan whose record keeper had a  cost-allocation  agreement with the Transfer Agent
              on or before March 1, 2001.

|_|      Clients of investment advisors or financial planners (that have entered into an agreement for this purpose
              with the Distributor) who buy shares for their own accounts may also purchase shares without sales
              charge but only if their accounts are linked to a master account of their investment advisor or
              financial planner on the books and records of the broker, agent or financial intermediary with which

              the broker, agent or financial intermediary for purchasing shares.
|_|      Directors, trustees, officers or full-time employees of OpCap Advisors or its affiliates, their relatives

              Revenue Code), in each case if those purchases are made through a broker, agent or other financial
              intermediary that has made special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.
|_|      A TRAC-2000 401(k) plan (sponsored by the former Quest for Value Advisors) whose Class B or Class C shares
              of a Former Quest for Value Fund were exchanged for Class A shares of that Fund due to the termination
              of the Class B and Class C TRAC-2000 program on November 24, 1995.
|_|      A qualified Retirement Plan that had agreed with the former Quest for Value Advisors to purchase shares of

              shares redeemed in the prior 30 days from a mutual fund (other than a fund managed by the Manager or
              any of its subsidiaries) on which an initial sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge was
              paid. This waiver also applies to shares purchased by exchange of shares of Oppenheimer Money Market
              Fund, Inc. that were purchased and paid for in this manner. This waiver must be requested when the

     Oppenheimer Quest Balanced Value Fund           Oppenheimer Quest Global Value Fund, Inc.

         For purchases by Associations having 50 or more eligible employees or members, there is no initial sales
charge on purchases of Class A shares, but those shares are subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge
described in the applicable fund's Prospectus.

         Purchases made under this arrangement qualify for the lower of either the sales charge rate in the table
based on the number of members of an Association, or the sales charge rate that applies under the Right of
Accumulation described in the applicable fund's Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. Individuals who
qualify under this arrangement for reduced sales charge rates as members of Associations also may purchase shares
for their individual or custodial accounts at these reduced sales charge rates, upon request to the Distributor.

|X|      Waiver of Class A Sales Charges for Certain Shareholders.  Class A shares purchased by the following
investors are not subject to any Class A initial or contingent deferred sales charges:
o        Shareholders who were shareholders of the AMA Family of Funds on February 28, 1991 and who acquired shares
              of any of the Former Quest for Value Funds by merger of a portfolio of the AMA Family of Funds.
o        Shareholders who acquired shares of any Former Quest for Value Fund by merger of any of the portfolios of
              the Unified Funds.

|X|      Waiver of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge in Certain Transactions.  The Class A contingent
deferred sales charge will not apply to redemptions of Class A shares purchased by the following investors who were
shareholders of any Former Quest for Value Fund:

         Investors who purchased Class A shares from a dealer that is or was not permitted to receive a sales load

an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Quest for Value Fund or into which such fund merged. Those shares must have
been purchased prior to March 6, 1995 in connection with:
o        withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan holding only either Class B or Class C shares if the annual
              withdrawal does not exceed 10% of the initial value of the account value, adjusted annually, and
o        liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value of shares held in the account is
              less than the required minimum value of such accounts.

|X|      Waivers for Redemptions of Shares Purchased on or After March 6, 1995 but Prior to November 24, 1995. In

Fund into the fund or by exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Quest For Value Fund or into which such

o        liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value of shares held in the account is
              less than the required minimum account value.






         A shareholder's account will be credited with the amount of any contingent deferred sales charge paid on

Class A initial sales charge, but subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge that was in effect prior
to March 18, 1996 (the "prior Class A CDSC"). Under the prior Class A CDSC, if any of those shares are redeemed
within one year of purchase, they will be assessed a 1% contingent deferred sales charge on an amount equal to the
current market value or the original purchase price of the shares sold, whichever is smaller (in such redemptions,

                  that Fund or other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and
              2)  persons whose intended purchases under a Statement of Intention entered into prior to March 18,

                  shares valued at $500,000 or more over a 13-month period entitled those persons to purchase shares
                  at net asset value without being subject to the Class A initial sales charge

         Any of the Class A shares of a Fund and the other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds that were purchased at
net asset value prior to March 18, 1996, remain subject to the prior Class A CDSC, or if any additional shares are
purchased by those shareholders at net asset value pursuant to this arrangement they will be subject to the prior
Class A CDSC.

|X|      Class A Sales Charge Waivers. Additional Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased without a sales charge,

                  their immediate families;
              4)  employee benefit plans sponsored by Connecticut Mutual Financial Services, L.L.C. ("CMFS"), the
                  prior distributor of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and its affiliated companies;
              5)  one or more members of a group of at least 1,000 persons (and persons who are retirees from such
