ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Strategies
WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? The Fund invests mainly in common stocks of U.S. companies that the portfolio manager believes
have favorable growth prospects. The Fund currently emphasizes stocks of issuers that have a market capitalization of less than $3
billion when the Fund buys them. That capitalization range may change over time. While these stocks may be traded on stock exchanges,
in many cases the Fund buys over-the-counter securities. These investments are more fully explained in "About the Fund's
Investments," below.

HOW DOES THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In selecting securities for the Fund, the Fund's portfolio
manager looks for companies with high growth potential using fundamental analysis of a company's financial statements, interviews
with management and analysis of the company's operations and product development, as well as the industry of which the issuer is
part. The manager also evaluates research on particular industries, market trends and general economic conditions. In seeking broad
diversification of the Fund's portfolio, the portfolio manager currently searches primarily for stocks of companies having the
following characteristics (although these factors may change over time and may vary in different cases):
o Companies with small capitalizations, primarily under $3 billion,
o Companies with management that has a proven ability to handle rapid growth,
o Companies with innovative products or services,
o Companies that self-finance expansion rather than adding to their debt,
o Companies with rapidly accelerating earnings and what the portfolio manager believes are sustainable growth rates.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed for investors seeking capital growth over the long term from small-cap stocks.
Those investors should be willing to assume the greater risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for an
aggressive growth fund focusing on small-cap stock investments. The Fund does not seek current income and the income from its
investments will likely be small, so it is not designed for investors needing current income. Because of its focus on long-term
growth, the Fund may be appropriate for a portion of a retirement plan investment. 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 their value from a number of factors
described below. 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 a similar objective.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCKS. Stocks fluctuate in price, and their short-term volatility at times may be great. Because the Fund
invests primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies, the value of the Fund's portfolio will be affected by changes in the U.S. stock
markets and the special economic and other factors that might primarily affect the prices of small cap stocks. Market risk will
affect the Fund's net asset value per share, which will fluctuate as the values of the Fund's portfolio securities change. A variety
of factors can affect the price of a particular stock and 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.

Industry and Sector Focus. At times the Fund may increase the relative emphasis of its investments in a particular industry or
sector. The prices of stocks of issuers in a particular industry or sector may go up and down in response to changes in
economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that
industry or sector more than others. To the extent that the Fund increases the relative emphasis of its investments in a
particular industry or sector, its share values may fluctuate in response to events affecting that industry or sector.

Risks of Growth Stocks. Stocks of growth companies, particularly newer companies, may offer opportunities for greater long-term
capital appreciation but may be more volatile than stocks of larger, more established companies. They have greater risks if
the company's earnings growth or stock price fails to increase as expected.

SPECIAL RISKS OF SMALL-CAP STOCKS. In many cases small-cap issuers are newer companies. While they may offer greater opportunities
for capital appreciation than larger, more established companies, they involve substantially greater risks of loss and price
fluctuations than larger issuers. Small-cap companies may have limited product lines or markets for their products, limited access to
financial resources and less depth in management skill than larger, more established companies.

The volatility of the stock prices of small cap companies is likely to be greater than for larger issuers, in part because
these securities trade mostly in the over-the-counter market, where there may be less liquidity. That could make it harder for the
Fund to dispose of a stock at an acceptable price when the portfolio manager wants to sell it, especially in periods of market
volatility. That factor increases the potential for losses to the Fund. Also, it may take a substantial period of time before the
Fund realizes a gain on an investment in a small-cap company, if it realizes any gain at all.

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. While foreign securities offer special investment opportunities, there are also special risks. 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 foreign securities.
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, 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. Securities in underdeveloped countries may be more difficult to sell and their prices may be more
volatile.

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. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

In the short term, the markets for small-cap stocks can be volatile, and the prices of the Fund's shares can go up and down
substantially. The Fund generally does not seek current income nor use income-oriented investments to help cushion the Fund's total
return from changes in stock prices. Small-cap stocks do not tend to pay dividends and so the Fund's dividend income is likely to be
small. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is generally a very aggressive investment vehicle, designed for investors willing
to assume greater risks in the hope of greater long-term returns. It is likely to be subject to greater fluctuations in its share
prices than funds that emphasize large capitalization stocks, or funds that focus on both stocks and bonds.

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
or any other government agency.

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 Class A shares compare to those of a broad-based and a capitalization-weighted market index. The Fund's past performance does
not necessarily indicate 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]

Sales charges 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 59.36% (4th Q,'99) and the
lowest return (not annualized) for a calendar quarter was -23.60% (3rd Q,'01).

1. Cumulative Return.
The Fund's average annual total returns include the applicable sales charge: for Class A, the current maximum initial sales charge of
5.75%; for Class B, the contingent deferred sales charges of 5% (1-year), 2% (5 years); and for Class C, the 1% contingent deferred
sales charge for the 1-year period. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, Class B
"life-of-class" performance does not include the contingent deferred sales charge and uses Class A performance for the period after
conversion. Class N shares were not publically offered for a full 12 months during the period shown. 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 S&P 500 Index, an
unmanaged index of equity securities, and the Russell 2000 Index, a capitalization-weighted unmanaged index of 2000 issuers of
mid-cap size. The index performance includes the reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs. Also, the Fund's
investments vary from the securities in the indices.

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 September 30, 2001.

1. A contingent deferred sales charge may apply to redemptions of investments of $1 million or more ($500,000 for certain retirement
plan accounts) of Class A shares. See "How to Buy Shares" for details.
2. Applies to redemptions in first year after purchase. The contingent deferred sales charge declines to 1% in the sixth year and is
eliminated after that.

3. Applies to shares redeemed within 12 months of purchase.

4. Applies to shares redeemed within 18 months of a retirement plan's first purchase of Class N shares.

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

Expenses may vary in future years. "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% for per
annum for Class Y shares effective January 1, 2001 and 0.35% per annum for all other classes effective October 1, 2001. That
undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. After the waiver, the actual "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating
Expenses" as percentages of average daily net assets were 0.40% and 1.06%, respectively, for Call Y shares; expenses for the other
classes were not affected during the period shown.

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:

------------------------------------
If shares are redeemed: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years1
------------------------------------ ----------------- -------------------- ------------------- -----------------
------------------------------------ ----------------- -------------------- ------------------- -----------------

Class A Shares $695 $949 $1,222 $1,999

Class B Shares $704 $930 $1,283 $1,962

Class C Shares $304 $630 $1,083 $2,338

Class N Shares $258 $490 $845 $1,845

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

Class Y Shares $116 $362 $628 $1,386

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

------------------------------------
If shares are not redeemed: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years1
------------------------------------ ----------------- -------------------- ------------------- -----------------
------------------------------------ ----------------- -------------------- ------------------- -----------------

Class A Shares $695 $949 $1,222 $1,999

Class B Shares $204 $630 $1,083 $1,962

Class C Shares $204 $630 $1,083 $2,338

Class N Shares $158 $490 $845 $1,845

Class Y Shares $116 $362 $628 $1,386

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

In the first example, expenses include the initial sales charge for Class A and the applicable Class B, Class C or Class N 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 the 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, since Class B shares automatically convert to Class A after
6 years.

About the Fund's Investments

THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different investments will vary over time
based upon the Manager's 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 stock of any one
company 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 total assets in investments in any one industry. However, changes in the overall market prices of securities can occur
at any time. The share prices of the Fund will change daily based on changes in market prices of securities and market conditions and
in response to other economic events.

Small-Cap Stock Investments. The Fund currently emphasizes investments in common stocks of small-cap U.S. growth companies. While
small-cap companies tend to be newer businesses, they can also be more established businesses that are entering a growth
phase.

The Fund measures the market capitalization of an issuer at the time of investment to determine if it fits within the Fund's
small-cap definition. Because the relative sizes of companies change over time as the stock market changes, the Fund's
definition of what is a "small-cap" company may change over time as well. Also, as individual companies grow, they may no
longer fit within the Fund's definition of a "small-cap" issuer after the Fund buys their stock. While the Fund is not
required to sell stocks of companies whose market capitalizations grow beyond the Fund's small-cap definition, the Manager
might sell some of those holdings to try to lower the median capitalization of its portfolio (measured on a dollar-weighted
basis). This could cause the Fund to realize capital gains on its investments, which could increase taxable distributions to
shareholders. Of course, there is no assurance that small-cap stocks will grow in value.

Foreign Investing. The Fund may buy securities or other instruments issued by companies, governments or other entities in any
country, including developed and emerging countries or markets. The Fund has no limits on the amount of its assets that can
be invested in foreign securities but has adopted an operating policy limiting its investments in foreign securities to 25%
of its total assets. Currently the Manager does not expect to invest that much in foreign stocks.

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 objective is a fundamental
policy. Other 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.

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

Other Equity Securities. The Fund's investments are not limited only to small-cap issuers, and the Fund can invest a portion of its
assets in issuers of mid- and large capitalizations, if the Manager believes they offer opportunities for growth. While the
Fund mainly buys common stocks, it can also buy preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stock. The
Manager considers some convertible securities to be "equity equivalents" because of the conversion feature and in that case
their credit rating has less impact on the Manager's investment decision than in the case of other debt securities. The Fund
can buy convertible securities that are investment grade or below investment grade (which have greater risks of default).

Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund can invest in small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in
operation less than three years, including the operations of any predecessors. These securities may have limited liquidity,
which means that the Fund might not be able to sell them quickly at an acceptable price. Their prices may be very volatile,
especially in the short term. The Fund currently does not intend to invest more than 10% of its assets in these securities.
Under its fundamental policies it can increase that amount to as much as 20%.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments may be illiquid because they do not have an active trading market, making it
difficult to value them or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. Restricted securities may have terms that limit
their resale to other investors or may require registration under federal securities laws before they can be publicly sold.
The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or restricted securities. The Board 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.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of "derivative" investments. 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. In the broadest sense, options, futures contracts, and other hedging instruments the Fund
might use may be considered "derivative" investments. In addition to using derivatives for hedging, the Fund might use other
derivative investments because they offer the potential for increased value. The Fund currently does not use derivatives to
a significant degree and is not required to use them in seeking its objective.

Derivatives have risks. If the issuer of the derivative investment does not pay the amount due, the Fund can lose money on
the investment. The underlying security or investment on which a derivative is based, and the derivative itself, may not
perform the way the Manager expected it to. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize less principal or income from
the investment than expected or its hedge might be unsuccessful. As a result, the Fund's share prices could fall. Certain
derivative investments held by the Fund might be illiquid.

o Hedging. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts, put and call options, and forward contracts. These are all referred to
as "hedging instruments." The Fund does not currently use hedging extensively nor for speculative purposes. It has limits on
its use of hedging instruments and is not required to use them in seeking its objective.

Some of these strategies would hedge the Fund's portfolio against price fluctuations. Other hedging strategies, such as
buying futures and call options, would tend to increase the Fund's exposure to the securities market.

There are also special risks in particular hedging strategies. Options trading involves the payment of premiums and can
increase portfolio turnover. If the Manager used a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judged market conditions
incorrectly, the hedge might fail and the strategy could reduce the Fund's return.

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund can engage in short-term trading to try to achieve its objective. Portfolio turnover affects brokerage
costs the Fund pays. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells portfolio investments generally it must pay out those
gains to shareholders, increasing their taxable distributors. The Financial Highlights tables at the end of this Prospectus
show the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during recent fiscal years.

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. The Fund could 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 in these securities, it might not achieve its investment objective of capital
appreciation.

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 adviser since January 1960. The Manager and its subsidiaries and affiliates managed more
than $120 billion in assets as of December 31, 2001, including other Oppenheimer funds with more than 5 million shareholder accounts.
The Manager is located at 498 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10018.

Portfolio Manager. The portfolio manager of the Fund is Jayne Stevlingson, who is principally responsible for the day-to-day
management of the Fund's portfolio. Ms. Stevlingson has been the Fund's portfolio manager since August 9, 1999, and she is
a Vice President of the Fund and of the Manager. Prior to joining the Manager in August 1999, she was a small-cap growth
fund portfolio manager with Morgan Stanley Dean Witter Advisors, Inc., before which she was a senior equity analyst with
Bankers Trust Corporation.

Advisory Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate that declines as
the Fund's assets grow: 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual net assets, 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 $700 million, and 0.58% of average annual net
assets in excess of $1.5 billion. The Fund's management fee for its last fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 was 0.66% of
average annual net assets for each class of shares.

ABOUT YOUR ACCOUNT

How to Buy Shares
HOW DO YOU BUY SHARES? You can buy shares several ways, as described below. The Fund's Distributor, OppenheimerFunds Distributor,
Inc., may appoint certain agents to accept purchase (and redemption) orders. The Distributor, in its sole discretion, may reject any
purchase order for the Fund's shares.

Buying Shares Through Your Dealer. You can buy shares through any dealer, broker or financial institution that has a sales agreement
with the Distributor. Your dealer will place your order with the Distributor on your behalf.

Buying Shares Through the Distributor. Complete an OppenheimerFunds new account application and return it with a check payable to
"OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc." Mail it to P.O. Box 5270, Denver, Colorado 80217. If you don't list a dealer on the
application, the Distributor will act as your agent in buying the shares. However, we recommend that you discuss your
investment with a financial advisor before you make a purchase to be sure that the Fund is appropriate for you.

o Paying by Federal Funds Wire. Shares purchased through the Distributor may be paid for by Federal Funds wire. The minimum
investment is $2,500. Before sending a wire, call the Distributor's Wire Department at 1.800.525.7048 to notify the
Distributor of the wire, and to receive further instructions.

o Buying Shares Through OppenheimerFunds AccountLink. With AccountLink, you pay for shares by electronic funds transfer from
your bank account. Shares are purchased for your account by a transfer of money from your bank through the Automated
Clearing House (ACH) system. You can provide those instructions automatically, under an Asset Builder Plan, described below,
or by telephone instructions using OppenheimerFunds PhoneLink, also described below. Please refer to "AccountLink," below
for more details.

o Buying Shares Through Asset Builder Plans. You may purchase shares of the Fund (and up to four other Oppenheimer funds)
automatically each month from your account at a bank or other financial institution under an Asset Builder Plan with
AccountLink. Details are in the Asset Builder Application and the Statement of Additional Information.

HOW MUCH MUST YOU INVEST? You can buy Fund shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional investments at any
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 under an Asset Builder Plan, the $25 minimum applies. Additional purchases may be 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 securities and obligations for which market values cannot be readily obtained. Because some
foreign securities trade in markets and exchanges that operate on U.S. holidays and weekends, the value of some of the
Fund's foreign investments might change significantly 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 six 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%, 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 eighteen (18) months of the retirement plan's first purchase of Class N shares, you may pay a
contingent deferred sales charge of 1%, 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 effect 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 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 or Class
N shareholders. Other features may not be advisable (because of the effect of the contingent deferred sales charge) for
Class B, Class C or 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 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 not available for Class B,
Class C and Class N shares, and 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 B 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 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:

Front-End Sales Front-End Sales
Charge As a Charge As a Commission
Percentage of Percentage of Net As Percentage of
Amount of Purchase Offering Price Amount Invested Offering Price
-------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------
-------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

Less than $25,000 5.75% 6.10% 4.75%
-------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------
-------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

$25,000 or more but less than $50,000 5.50% 5.82% 4.75%
-------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------
-------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

$50,000 or more but less than $100,000 4.75% 4.99% 4.00%
-------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------
-------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

$100,000 or more but less than $250,000 3.75% 3.90% 3.00%
-------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

$250,000 or more but less than $500,000 2.50% 2.56% 2.00%
--------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------- --------------------- ------------------------ ----------------------

$500,000 or more but less than $1 million 2.00% 2.04% 1.60%

Can You Reduce Class A Share 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, except as provided
below. 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 6 years of 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:

---------------------------------------------------------
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on
Years Since Beginning of Month in] Redemptions in That Year
Which Purchase Order was Accepted (As % of Amount Subject to Charge)
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
0 - 1 5.0%
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
1 - 2 4.0%
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
2 - 3 3.0%
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
3 - 4 3.0%
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
4 - 5 2.0%
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
5 - 6 1.0%
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------
6 and following None
---------------------------------------------------------

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 you hold convert, a prorated portion of
your 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? As discussed above, 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 1.00% 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
purchasing redeeming, 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 sales charge directly to certain
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, 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 in Colorado) and the special account features available to purchasers of those other
classes of shares described elsewhere in this Prospectus do not apply to Class Y shares. Instructions for purchasing, redeeming,
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 compensate 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 shares and on Class C shares, and the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.25% on Class
N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan.

The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and Class C expenses by 1.00% and increase Class N expense 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 sales of Class B shares is therefore 4.00% of the purchase price. The Distributor retains the Class B
asset-based sales charge.

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 1.00% 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.

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 1.00% of the purchase price, subject to certain exceptions as
described in the Statement of Additional Information. The Distributor retains the service fees for accounts for which it
renders the required personal services. The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class N shares

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.

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 6 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, rollover IRAs and Education IRAs.

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 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 $100,000 or more 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.

HOW DO YOU SELL SHARES BY MAIL? Write a letter of instructions 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 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 B 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 B 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 these 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 where 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 can 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.
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 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 annually and to pay
dividends to shareholders in December on a date selected by the Board of Trustees. Dividends and distributions paid on 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. 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 ARE YOUR CHOICES 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 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 ex-dividend date or just before the Fund declares a capital gain
distribution, you will pay the full price for the shares and then receive a portion of the price back as a taxable dividend
or capital gain.

Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions. Because the Fund's share prices fluctuates, 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 adviser 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 KPMG 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.

ABOUT THE FUND
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 objective.

The Fund's Investment Policies.

The composition of the Fund's portfolio and the techniques and strategies that the Manager will use 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. 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.

|X| Investments in Equity Securities. The Fund's investments in equity securities can include those of
foreign and U.S. companies. Equity securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and
securities convertible into common stock. The Fund's investments can include stocks of companies in any market
capitalization range, if the Manager believes the investment is consistent with the Fund's objective, including
the preservation of principal. Certain equity securities might be selected not only for their appreciation
possibilities but because they may provide dividend income.

Small-cap growth companies may offer greater opportunities for capital appreciation than securities of
large, more established companies. However, these securities also involve greater risks than securities of larger
companies. Securities of small capitalization issuers may be subject to greater price volatility in general than
securities of large-cap and mid-cap companies. Therefore, to the degree that the Fund has investments in smaller
capitalization companies at times of market volatility, the Fund's share price may fluctuate more. Those
investments may be limited to the extent the Manager believes that such investments would be inconsistent with
the goal of preservation of principal. As noted below, the Fund limits investments in unseasoned small-cap
issuers.

|_| 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.

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. Preferred stock may be "participating" stock, which means that it may be entitled
to a dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain cases.

|_| Growth Companies. The Fund may invest in securities of "growth" companies. Growth companies
are those companies that the Manager believes are entering into a growth cycle in their business, with the
expectation that their stock will increase in value. They may be established companies as well as newer companies
in the development stage.

Growth companies may have a variety of characteristics that in the Manager's view define them as
"growth" issuers. They may be generating or applying new technologies, new or improved distribution techniques or
new services. They may own or develop natural resources. They may be companies that can benefit from changing
consumer demands or lifestyles, or companies that have projected earnings in excess of the average for their
sector or industry. In each case, they have prospects that the Manager believes are favorable for the long term.
The portfolio managers of the Fund look for growth companies with strong, capable management, sound financial and
accounting policies, successful product development and marketing and other factors.

|_| Convertible Securities. While some convertible securities are a form of debt security, in
many 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 has less impact on the
Manager's investment decision with respect to convertible securities than in the case of non-convertible debt
fixed income securities. Convertible securities are subject to the credit risks and interest rate risks described
below in "Debt Securities."

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.

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.

|_| Rights and Warrants. As a fundamental policy, the Fund cannot invest more than 5% of its
total assets in warrants nor more than 2% of that amount in warrants that are not listed on the New York or
American Stock Exchanges. That limit does not apply to warrants and rights the Fund has acquired as part of units
of securities or that are attached to other securities that the Fund buys.

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.

|X| Debt Securities. The Fund can invest in a variety of domestic and foreign debt securities for
current income. Foreign debt securities are subject to the risks of foreign securities described above. In
general, domestic and foreign fixed-income securities are also subject to two additional types of risk: credit
risk and interest rate risk.

|_| 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 debt investments can include investment-grade and non-investment-grade bonds (commonly
referred to as "junk bonds"). Investment-grade bonds are bonds rated at least "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service,
Inc., at least "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Rating Service or Duff & Phelps, Inc., or have comparable ratings by
another nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

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 the securities 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.

|_| Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. The Fund can invest a substantial portion of its
assets in lower-grade debt securities. Because lower-grade securities tend to offer higher yields than investment
grade securities, the Fund may invest in lower-grade securities if the Manager is trying to achieve greater
income. In some cases, the appreciation possibilities of lower-grade securities may be a reason they are selected
for the Fund's portfolio. However, these investments will be made only when consistent with the Fund's goal of
preservation of principal that is part of the Fund's objective.

The Fund may invest up to 35% of its total assets in "lower grade" debt securities. "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 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 included in the limitation on the percentage of the Fund's assets that can be invested in lower-grade
securities. The Fund can invest in securities rated as low as "C" or "D" or which are in default at the time the
Fund buys them.

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.

However, the Fund's limitations on these investments may reduce some of the risks to the Fund, as will
the Fund's policy of diversifying its investments. Additionally, to the extent they can be converted into stock,
convertible securities may be less subject to some of these risks 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 Duff & Phelps are investment
grade and are not regarded as junk bonds, those securities may be subject to special risks, and have some
speculative characteristics. The debt security ratings definitions of the principal rating definitions are
included in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information.

|_| Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income
securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general
interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already-issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in
general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities,
which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in
interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.

Fluctuations in the market value of fixed-income securities after the Fund buys them will not affect the
interest payable on those securities, nor the cash income from them. 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.

|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 response to changes
in interest rates. If the prepayments on the Fund's mortgage-related securities were to decrease broadly, the
Fund's effective duration, and therefore its 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.

|_| Collateralized Mortgage Obligations. 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 Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae, or 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 may 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 be able
to assert a claim against the United States if the issuing agency or instrumentality does not meet its
commitment. The Fund will invest in securities of U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities only if the
Manager is satisfied that the credit risk with respect to such instrumentality is minimal.

|_| U.S. Treasury Obligations. These include Treasury bills (having maturities of one year or less
when issued), Treasury notes (having maturities of from one to ten years), and Treasury bonds (having maturities
of more than ten years). Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States as to
timely payments of interest and repayments of principal. They also can 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").

|_| Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities. The Fund can buy these U.S. Treasury securities,
called "TIPS," that are designed to provide an investment vehicle that is not vulnerable to inflation. The
interest rate paid by TIPS is fixed. The principal value rises or falls semi-annually based on changes in the
published Consumer Price Index. If inflation occurs, the principal and interest payments on TIPS are adjusted to
protect investors from inflationary loss. If deflation occurs, the principal and interest payments will be
adjusted downward, although the principal will not fall below its face amount at maturity.

|_| 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 ("Fannie Maes"). Others are supported only by the credit of the entity that issued them, such
as Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation obligations ("Freddie Macs").

|_| U.S. Government Mortgage-Related Securities. The Fund can invest in a variety of
mortgage-related securities that are issued by U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities, some of which are
described below.

|_| GNMA Certificates. The Government National Mortgage Association ("GNMA") is a wholly-owned
corporate instrumentality of the United States within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
GNMA's principal programs involve its guarantees of privately-issued securities backed by pools of mortgages.
Ginnie Maes are debt securities representing an interest in one or a pool of mortgages that are insured by the
Federal Housing Administration or the Farmers Home Administration or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration.

The Ginnie Maes in which the Fund invests are of the "fully modified pass-through" type. They provide
that the registered holders of the Certificates will receive timely monthly payments of the pro-rata share of the
scheduled principal payments on the underlying mortgages, whether or not those amounts are collected by the
issuers. Amounts paid include, on a pro rata basis, any prepayment of principal of such mortgages and interest
(net of servicing and other charges) on the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Ginnie Maes, whether or not
the interest on the underlying mortgages has been collected by the issuers.

The Ginnie Maes purchased by the Fund are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by
GNMA. It is expected that payments received by the issuers of Ginnie Maes on account of the mortgages backing the
Ginnie Maes will be sufficient to make the required payments of principal of and interest on those GNMA
Certificates. However if those payments are insufficient, the guaranty agreements between the issuers of the
Certificates and GNMA require the issuers to make advances sufficient for the payments. If the issuers fail to
make those payments, GNMA will do so.

Under Federal law, the full faith and credit of the United States is pledged to the payment of all
amounts that may be required to be paid under any guaranty issued by GNMA as to such mortgage pools. An opinion
of an Assistant Attorney General of the United States, dated December 9, 1969, states that such guaranties
"constitute general obligations of the United States backed by its full faith and credit." GNMA is empowered to
borrow from the United States Treasury to the extent necessary to make any payments of principal and interest
required under those guaranties.

Ginnie Maes are backed by the aggregate indebtedness secured by the underlying FHA-insured, FMHA-insured
or VA-guaranteed mortgages. Except to the extent of payments received by the issuers on account of such
mortgages, Ginnie Maes do not constitute a liability of those issuers, nor do they evidence any recourse against
those issuers. Recourse is solely against GNMA. Holders of Ginnie Maes (such as the Fund) have no security
interest in or lien on the underlying mortgages.

Monthly payments of principal will be made, and additional prepayments of principal may be made, to the
Fund with respect to the mortgages underlying the Ginnie Maes held by the Fund. All of the mortgages in the pools
relating to the Ginnie Maes in the Fund are subject to repayment without any significant premium or penalty, at
the option of the mortgagors. While the mortgages on one-to-four-family dwellings underlying certain Ginnie Maes
have a stated maturity of up to 30 years, it has been the experience of the mortgage industry that the average
life of comparable mortgages, as a result of prepayments, refinancing and payments from foreclosures, is
considerably less.

|_| Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation Certificates. FHLMC, a corporate instrumentality of
the United States, issues FHLMC Certificates representing interests in mortgage loans. FHLMC guarantees to each
registered holder of a FHLMC Certificate timely payment of the amounts representing a holder's proportionate
share in:

(i) interest payments less servicing and guarantee fees,
(ii) principal prepayments and
(iii) the ultimate collection of amounts representing the holder's proportionate interest in principal
payments on the mortgage loans in the pool represented by the FHLMC Certificate, in
each case whether or not such amounts are actually received.

The obligations of FHLMC under its guarantees are obligations solely of FHLMC and are not backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States.

|_| Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) Certificates. Fannie Mae, a
federally-chartered and privately-owned corporation, issues Fannie Mae Certificates which are backed by a pool of
mortgage loans. Fannie Mae guarantees to each registered holder of a Fannie Mae Certificate that the holder will
receive amounts representing the holder's proportionate interest in scheduled principal and interest payments,
and any principal prepayments, on the mortgage loans in the pool represented by such Certificate, less servicing
and guarantee fees, and the holder's proportionate interest in the full principal amount of any foreclosed or
other liquidated mortgage loan. In each case the guarantee applies whether or not those amounts are actually
received. The obligations of Fannie Mae under its guarantees are obligations solely of Fannie Mae and are not
backed by the full faith and credit of the United States or any of its agencies or instrumentalities other than
Fannie Mae.

|_| Zero-Coupon U.S. Government Securities. The Fund may buy zero-coupon U.S. government
securities. These will typically be U.S. Treasury Notes and Bonds that have been stripped of their unmatured
interest coupons, the coupons themselves, or certificates representing interests in those stripped debt
obligations and coupons.

Zero-coupon securities do not make periodic interest payments and are sold at a deep discount from their
face value at maturity. 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. The discount typically decreases as the maturity date approaches.

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 that pay
interest. 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| Money Market Instruments. The following is a brief description of the types of 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.

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

|_| 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 $500 million, or
o banker's acceptances (which may or may not be supported by letters of credit) but only if
guaranteed by a U.S. commercial bank with total assets of at least U.S. $500 million.

The Fund can purchase certificates of deposit of $100,000 or less of a domestic bank even if that bank
has assets of less than $500 million, if the certificate of deposit is fully insured as to principal by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Fund can buy only one such certificate of deposit from any one bank
with that amount of assets and limits its investments in those certificates of deposit to 10% of its assets.
"Banks" include U.S. commercial banks, savings banks and savings and loan associations.

|_| Commercial Paper. The Fund can invest in commercial paper if it is rated within the top two
rating categories of Standard & Poor's and Moody's. If the paper is not rated, it may be purchased if issued by a
company having a credit rating of at least "AA" by Standard & Poor's or "Aa" by Moody's.

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.

|_| 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| 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. Currently, the Fund does not expect to have a portfolio turnover rate of more than 100% annually.

The Fund can engage in short-term trading to try to achieve its objective. Portfolio turnover affects
brokerage costs the Fund pays. 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.

Increased portfolio turnover creates 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.

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| Foreign Securities. The Fund expects to have substantial investments in foreign securities. These
include equity securities issued by foreign companies and debt securities issued by foreign companies or
governments, including supra-national entities. "Foreign securities" include equity and debt securities of
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. They also include
securities of companies (including those that are located in the U.S. or organized under U.S. law) that derive a
significant portion of their revenue or profits from foreign businesses, investments or sales, or that have a
significant portion of their assets abroad. They may be traded on foreign securities exchanges or in the foreign
over-the-counter markets.

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.

Because the Fund may purchase securities denominated in foreign currencies, a change in the value of
such foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will 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.

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
growth 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 stock 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.

|_| Foreign Debt Obligations. The debt obligations of foreign governments and entities may or
may not be supported by the full faith and credit of the foreign government. The Fund may 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.

|_| 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 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, stock 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.

|_| Special Risks of Emerging Markets. Emerging and developing markets abroad may also offer
special opportunities for growth 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, because the selection of those
securities must be consistent with the Fund's goal of preservation of principal.

|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,
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.

The Fund may buy zero-coupon and delayed interest securities, and "stripped" securities of corporations
and of foreign government issuers. These are similar in structure to zero-coupon and "stripped" U.S. government
securities, but in the case of foreign government securities may or may not be backed by the "full faith and
credit" of the issuing foreign government. Zero coupon securities issued by foreign governments and by
corporations will be subject to greater credit risks than U.S. government zero-coupon 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.

|X| Commercial (Privately-Issued) Mortgage-Related Securities. The Fund may 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| "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 demand obligations 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 demand 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 demand note is also based on a stated prevailing market rate but is adjusted automatically at
specified intervals of not less than one year. 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 demand 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.

|X| Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund can invest in securities of small, unseasoned
companies. These are companies that have been in operation for less than three years, including the operations of
any predecessors. Securities of these companies may be subject to volatility in their prices. They may have a
limited trading market, which may adversely affect the Fund's ability to dispose of them and can reduce the price
the Fund might be able to obtain for them. Other investors that own a security issued by a small, unseasoned
issuer for which there is limited liquidity might trade the security when the Fund is attempting to dispose of
its holdings of that security. In that case the Fund might receive a lower price for its holdings than might
otherwise be obtained. The Fund currently does not intend to invest more than 5% of its net assets in those
securities.

|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" or "forward commitment" 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. No income begins to accrue to the Fund on a when-issued
security until the Fund receives the security at settlement of the trade.

The Fund will engage in when-issued transactions to secure what the Manager considers to be an
advantageous price and yield at the time of entering into the obligation. 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 for its portfolio 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| 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 buyers participation interest bears to the
total principal amount of the loan. No 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| Repurchase Agreements. The Fund can acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements. It may 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, as described below.

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 Fund's Board of Trustees 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.

Repurchase agreements, considered "loans" under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (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 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 may decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to
repurchase securities.

|X| Loans of Portfolio Securities. To raise cash for liquidity purposes or income, the Fund can lend its
portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and other types of financial institutions approved by the Fund's Board
of Trustees. As a fundamental policy, these loans are limited to not more than 25% of the value of the Fund's net
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, 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| 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. 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. However, the enhancement,
if any, might not be for the full par value of the security. If the enhancement is exhausted and only required
payments of principal are not made, the Fund could suffer a loss on its investment or delays in receiving
payment.

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. Unlike
mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities typically do not have the benefit.

|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. However, the Fund is not obligated to use derivatives in seeking its
objective.

Some of the 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.

Other derivative investments the Fund can invest in include mortgage-related securities (described
above) and "index-linked" notes. Principal and/or interest payments on these notes depend on the performance of
an underlying index. Currency-indexed securities are another derivative the Fund may use. Typically these are
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.

|X| Hedging. Although the Fund can use hedging instruments, 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 that have appreciated, or to facilitate
selling securities for investment reasons, the Fund could:

|_| sell futures contracts,
|_| buy puts on such futures or on securities, or
|_| 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:

|_| buy futures, or
|_| buy calls on such futures or on securities.

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.

|_| Futures. The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to (1) broadly-based stock indices
(these are referred to as "stock index futures"), (2) bond indices (these are referred to as "bond index
futures"), (3) debt securities (these are referred to as "interest rate futures"), (4) foreign currencies (these
are referred to as "forward contracts") and (5) commodities.

A broadly-based stock index is used as the basis for trading stock index futures. They may in some cases
be based on stocks of issuers in a particular industry or group of industries. A stock index assigns relative
values to the common stocks included in the index and its value fluctuates in response to the changes in value of
the underlying stocks. 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.

|_| 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.

|_| 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 certain types of calls, the call may be covered by segregating liquid assets to
enable the Fund to satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised. Up to 35% of the Fund's total assets may be
subject to calls the Fund writes.

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, or a securities depository acting for the Custodian, 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
segregating an equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets. The Fund will segregate additional liquid assets if the
value of the segregated assets drops below 100% of the current value of the future. Because of this segregation
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.

|_| Writing Put Options. The Fund can sell put options. 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 25% 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 segregated liquid assets. 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.

|_| Purchasing Calls and Puts. The Fund can purchase calls 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 whether or not it holds the underlying investment in its portfolio. 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 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.

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.

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.

|_| 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
maintaining cash, U.S. government securities or other liquid, high grade debt securities in an amount equal to
the exercise price of the option, in a segregated account with the Fund's Custodian bank.

|_| 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 may 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.

|_| 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 limits
its exposure in foreign currency exchange contracts in a particular foreign currency to the amount of its assets
denominated in that currency or a closely-correlated 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 may 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.

|_| 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 liquid assets on the Fund's books (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 can 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."

|_| 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 cash or readily
marketable short-term debt instruments in an amount equal to the market value of the securities underlying the
future, less the margin deposit applicable to it. The account must be a segregated account or accounts held by
the Fund's Custodian bank.

|_| 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.

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| What Are the Fund's 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.

o The Fund cannot lend money. However, it can buy debt securities that its investment policies and
restrictions permit it to purchase. The Fund may also lend its portfolio securities subject to the
percentage restrictions set forth in this Statement of Additional Information and may enter into
repurchase agreements.

o The Fund cannot concentrate investments. That means it cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in
companies in any one industry. Obligations of the U.S. government, its agencies and instrumentalities
are not considered to be part of an "industry" for the purposes of this restriction.

o The Fund cannot buy or sell real estate, including futures contracts. However, the Fund can purchase
debt securities secured by real estate or interests in real estate.

o The Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies. 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 invest in physical commodities or commodity contracts. However, the Fund may buy and
sell the hedging instruments permitted by any of its other investment policies. The Fund can also buy
and sell options, futures, securities or other instruments backed by, or the investment return from
which is linked to changes in the price of, physical commodities.

o The Fund cannot invest in the securities issued by any company for the purpose of acquiring control or
management of that company, except in connection with a merger, reorganization, consolidation or
acquisition of assets.

o The Fund cannot invest in or hold securities of any issuer if officers and Trustees of the Fund or the
Manager individually beneficially own more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities of that issuer and together
own more than 5% of the securities of that issuer.

o The Fund cannot buy securities on margin. However, this does not prohibit the Fund from making margin
deposits in connection with any of the hedging instruments permitted by any of its other investment
policies.

o The Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 5% of the value of its total assets. It can borrow only as a
temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes.

o The Fund cannot mortgage, hypothecate or pledge any of its assets to secure a debt. However, the escrow
arrangements in connection with hedging instruments are not considered to involve a mortgage,
hypothecation or pledge.

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.

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.

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

How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History. The Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment company with an unlimited
number of authorized shares of beneficial interest. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust in
1987.

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.

|X| Classes of Shares. The Board of Trustees has the power, without shareholder approval, to divide
unissued shares of the Fund into two or more classes. The Board has done so, and the Fund currently has four
classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N. All classes invest in the same investment portfolio.
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.

The Trustees are authorized 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.

|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.

affiliations and occupations during the past five years are listed below. Trustees denoted with an asterisk (*)

1Aggregate compensation includes fees, deferred compensation, if any, and retirement plan benefits accrued
for a Trustee, if any. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001.
2For the 2001 calendar year.
3Total compensation for the 2001calendar year includes $97,126 compensation received for serving as a Trustee
or Director of 10 other Oppenheimer funds.
4Includes $1,584 deferred under Deferred Compensation Plan described below.
5Includes $489 deferred under Deferred Compensation Plan described below.
6 Trustee retirement accruals were a negative $107,096 for the year. It has been determined that the SAI will
not include a negative expense so a zero amount will be reflected. The "Aggregate Compensation from Fund"
information does not include retirement accrual since they were negative.

|X| Retirement Plan for Trustees. The Fund has adopted a retirement plan that provides for payments to
retired Trustees. Payments are up to 80% of the average compensation paid during a Trustee's five years of
service in which the highest compensation was received. A Trustee must serve as trustee for any of the New
York-based Oppenheimer funds for at least 15 years to be eligible for the maximum payment. Each Trustee's
retirement benefits will depend on the amount of the Trustee's future compensation and length of service.
Therefore the amount of those benefits cannot be determined at this time, nor can we estimate the number of years
of credited service that will be used to determine those benefits.

|X| Deferred Compensation Plan for Trustees. The Board of Trustees has adopted a Deferred Compensation
Plan for disinterested 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.

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 January 9, 2002, there were no persons who owned of record or were known
by the Fund to own of record 5% or more of any class of the Fund's outstanding Class A, Class B, Class C or Class
N shares except the following:

Arbros Communications Inc. Employees Savings Trust, 1100 Wayne Avenue, Floor 8, Silver Spring, MD
20910-5642, which owned 8,180.571 Class N shares (56.50% of the Class N shares then outstanding).

Sandra Joan Morris 401(k) PSP, 3200 Fourth Avenue, Suite 101, San Diego, CA 92103-5716, which owned
5,147.797 Class N shares (35.55% of the Class N shares then outstanding).

The Manager. The Manager is wholly-owned by Oppenheimer Acquisition Corp., a holding company controlled by
Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company.

|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

|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 Equity 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 Fund pays expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the advisory agreement. 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 resulting from a good faith error or
omission 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.

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, it 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 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
commissions 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 Fund's classes of shares. The
Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific number of shares.
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 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.

Under the plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to affiliates and in their sole
discretion, from time to time, may use their own resources (at no direct cost to the Fund) to make payments to
brokers, dealers or other financial institutions for distribution and administrative services they perform. 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 and
Class C 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. 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.

For the fiscal period ended September 30, 2001 payments under the Class A Plan totaled $1,228,328 all of
which was paid by the Distributor to recipients. That included $73,377 paid to an affiliate of the Distributor's
parent company. 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 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 Plans. 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
types of services that recipients provide are similar to the services provided under the Class A service plan,
described above.

The Class B, Class C and the 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 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 concession 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
and/or Class N service fee and the asset-based sales charge to the dealer quarterly in lieu of paying the sales
concessions 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 concessions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of sale and pays service fees
as described above,
o may finance payment of sales concessions 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 for distributing
shares before the plan was terminated.

charges and service fees.

Performance of the Fund

Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses a variety of terms to illustrate its investment
performance. Those terms include "cumulative total return," "average annual total return," "average annual total
return at net asset value" and "total return at net asset value." An explanation of how 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 website 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
one-, five- and ten-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).

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 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 An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.
o The Fund's performance returns do not reflect the effect of taxes on dividends and capital gains
distributions.
o The principal value of the Fund's shares 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 Total returns for any given past period represent historical performance information and are not, and
should not be considered, a prediction of future 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 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 debt investments, the types of investments the Fund holds, and its operating
expenses that are allocated to the particular class.

|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 5.75% (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 1.0% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the
one-year period. For Class N shares, the 1% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for the
one-year and life-of-class periods as applicable.

|_| 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:

1/n
ERV
--- - 1 = Average Annual Total Return
P

|_| 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

|_| 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. 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.

Other Performance Comparisons. The Fund compares its performance annually to that of an appropriate broadly-based
market index in its Annual Report to shareholders. You can obtain that information by contacting the Transfer
Agent at the addresses or telephone numbers shown on the cover of this Statement of Additional Information. The
Fund may also compare its performance to that of other investments, including other mutual funds, or use rankings
of its performance by independent ranking entities. Examples of these performance comparisons are set forth below.

|X| Lipper Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking of the performance of its
classes of shares by Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. 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 based in categories based on investment styles. The performance of
the Fund is ranked by Lipper against all other balanced funds. 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.

|X| Morningstar Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the star ranking of the performance of
its classes of shares by Morningstar, Inc., an independent mutual fund monitoring service. Morningstar ranks
mutual funds in broad investment categories: domestic stock funds, international stock funds, taxable bond funds
and municipal bond funds. The Fund is ranked among domestic stock funds.

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 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Ratings metrics.

The Fund may also compare its performance to that of other funds in its Morningstar category. In
addition to its star rankings, Morningstar also categorizes and compares a fund's 3-year performance based on
Morningstar's classification of the fund's investments and investment style, rather than how a fund defines its
investment objective. Morningstar's four broad categories (domestic equity, international equity, municipal bond
and taxable bond) are each further subdivided into categories based on types of investments and investment
styles. Those comparisons by Morningstar are based on the same risk and return measurements as its star rankings
but do not consider the effect of sales charges.

|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 received 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. The proceeds of ACH transfers are normally received by the Fund three days after the transfers are
initiated. If the proceeds of the ACH transfer are not received on a timely basis, the Distributor reserves the
right to cancel the purchase order. 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.

|X| The Oppenheimer Funds. The Oppenheimer funds are those mutual funds for which the Distributor acts
as the distributor or the sub-distributor and currently include the following:

Oppenheimer Bond Fund Oppenheimer Municipal Bond Fund

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 concessions 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 concessions allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of concessions
that apply to the actual amount of purchases. The excess concessions 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 concessions 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 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 13-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 60 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 offered
by employers to their employees. Asset Builder Plans also enable shareholders of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves to use
their account in that fund to make monthly automatic purchases of shares of up to four other Oppenheimer funds.

If you make automatic 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 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 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.
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. 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 may change
significantly on 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. The Manager, or an internal
valuation committee established by the Manager, as applicable, may establish a valuation, under procedures
established by the Board and 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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Securities (including restricted securities) not having readily-available market quotations are valued
at fair value determined under the Board's procedures. 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.

Reinvestment Privilege. Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may reinvest all or part of the
redemption proceeds of any Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class A shares on which
a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or 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 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 $500 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 or 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. 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 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.

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 six 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. With respect to Class N shares, a 1% contingent deferred
sales charge will be imposed if the retirement plan (not including IRAs and 403(b) plans) 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 with
respect to an individual retirement plan 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.

When Class B or Class C 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 or the Class C 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.

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.

Telephone Exchange Requests. 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.

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. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and 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 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 and Distributions. The federal tax treatment of the Fund's dividends and
capital gains distributions is briefly highlighted in the Prospectus.

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.

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. 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.

The Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code
(although it reserves the right not to qualify). 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 the Fund's shares are held in a retirement account or the shareholder is otherwise
exempt from tax). If the Fund qualifies as a "regulated investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code, it
will not be liable for federal income taxes on amounts paid by it as dividends and distributions. The Fund
qualified as a regulated investment company in its last fiscal year. The Internal Revenue Code contains a number
of complex tests relating to qualification which the Fund might not meet in any particular year. If it did not so
qualify, the Fund would be treated for tax purposes as an ordinary corporation and receive no tax deduction for
payments made to shareholders.

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.

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'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 in a manner uninfluenced by
any banking relationship the Custodian may have with the Manager and its affiliates. The Fund's cash balances
with the custodian in excess of $100,000 are not protected by Federal deposit insurance. Those uninsured balances
at times may be substantial.

Independent Auditors. KPMG 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 certain other funds advised by
the Manager and its affiliates.

disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of
securities owned as of September 30, 2001, by correspondence with the custodian
and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from
brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

2. Non-income-producing security.
3. Identifies issues considered to be illiquid or restricted--See Note 7 of
Notes to Financial Statements.
4. 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 $4,237,143 or 0.64% of the Fund's net
assets as of September 30, 2001.
5. 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.
6. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate
security.
7. Zero-coupon bond reflects the effective yield on the date of purchase.
8. Issuer is in default.
9. Denotes a step bond: a zero-coupon bond that converts to a fixed or variable
interest rate at a designated future date.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

Oppenheimer Multiple Strategies Fund (the Fund) is registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment
company. The Fund's investment objective is to seek high total investment return
consistent with preservation of principal. The Fund's investment advisor is
OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N 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. 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. 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).
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Structured Notes. The Fund invests in structured notes whose market values and
redemption prices are linked to the market value of specific securities. The
structured notes are leveraged, which increases the Fund's exposure to changes
in prices of the underlying securities and increases the volatility of each
note's market value relative to the change in the underlying security prices.
Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and
losses in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund records a realized
gain or loss when a structured note is sold or matures. As of September 30,
2001, the market value of these securities comprised less than 0.1% of the
Fund's net assets, and resulted in unrealized gains in the current period of
$17,736.

38 | OPPENHEIMER MULTIPLE STRATEGIES FUND

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 September 30, 2001, securities with an
aggregate market value of $1,388,522, representing 0.21% 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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
The Fund had approximately $1,537,000 of post-October foreign currency
losses which were deferred. If unutilized by the Fund in the following fiscal
year, such losses will expire.

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

Trustees' Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan for the
Fund's independent Board of Trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and
fees paid to each trustee during the years of service. During the year ended
September 30, 2001, the Fund's projected benefit obligations were decreased by
$107,096 and payments of $9,252 were made to retired trustees, resulting in an
accumulated liability of $120,459 as of September 30, 2001.
The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation plan for
independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a
portion of annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. Under
the plan, the compensation deferred is periodically adjusted as though an
equivalent amount had been invested for the Board of Trustees in shares of one
or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the trustee. The amount paid to the Board
of Trustees under the plan will be determined based upon the performance of the
selected funds. Deferral of trustees' fees under the plan will not affect the
net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund's assets,
liabilities or net investment income per share.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 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 September 30, 2001, amounts have been reclassified to reflect an
increase in paid-in capital of $1,044,730, a decrease in undistributed net
investment income of $3,924,886, and an increase in accumulated net realized
gain on investments of $2,880,156. This reclassification includes $946,617
distributed in connection with Fund share redemptions which increased paid-in
capital and reduced accumulated net realized gain. Net assets of the Fund were
unaffected by the reclassifications.

40 | OPPENHEIMER MULTIPLE STRATEGIES FUND

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon
ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the
ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend
income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities
received. Interest income, 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
$2,253,893 decrease to cost of securities and a corresponding $2,253,893
increase in net unrealized appreciation, based on securities held as of December
31, 2000. For the year ended September 30, 2001, interest income decreased by
$776,175, net realized gain on investments decreased by $433,557, and the change
in net unrealized depreciation on investments decreased by $1,209,732.
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 are 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 $700 million and 0.58% of average annual net assets
in excess of $1.5 billion. The Fund's management fee for the year ended
September 30, 2001, was an annualized rate of 0.71%.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued

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 September 30, 2001, payments under the Class A plan totaled $1,228,328,
all of which were paid by the Distributor to recipients, and included $73,377
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 on redeemed shares and asset-based sales charges from
the Fund under the plans. 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.

45 | OPPENHEIMER MULTIPLE STRATEGIES FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. 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. 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 September 30, 2001, was as follows:

7. Illiquid or Restricted Securities

As of September 30, 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 September 30, 2001, was $2,723,092,
which represents 0.41% of the Fund's net assets, of which $14,133 is considered
restricted. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:

8. 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
September 30, 2001.

Appendix A

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&#146;s
Investors Service, Inc.

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

Long-Term (Taxable) Bond Ratings

Aaa: Bonds rated
&#147;Aaa&#148; 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
&#147;Aa&#148; are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with
the &#147;Aaa&#148; 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 &#147;Aaa&#148; 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
&#147;Aaa&#148; securities.

A: Bonds rated
&#147;A&#148; 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
&#147;Baa&#148; 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
&#147;Ba&#148; 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
&#147;B&#148; 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
&#147;C&#148; are the lowest class of rated bonds and can be regarded as having
extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.

Con. (&#133;): 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&#146;s applies
numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating classification from
&#147;Aa&#148; through &#147;Caa.&#148; The modifier &#147;1&#148; indicates
that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the
modifier &#147;2&#148; indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier
&#147;3&#148; 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 &amp;
Poor&#146;s Rating Services

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

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 obligations only in small degree. The obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation is very strong.

A: Bonds rated
&#147;A&#148; are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in higher-rated
categories. However, the obligor&#146;s capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB: Bonds rated
&#147;BBB&#148; 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

Bonds rated &#147;BB,&#148;
&#147;B,&#148; &#147;CCC,&#148; &#147;CC&#148; and &#147;C&#148; are regarded as
having significant speculative characteristics. &#147;BB&#148; indicates the
least degree of speculation, and &#147;C&#148; 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
&#147;BB&#148; are less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative issues.
However, these face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse business,
financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor&#146;s
inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

B: Bonds rated
&#147;B&#148; are more vulnerable to nonpayment than obligations rated
&#147;BB&#148;, 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&#146;s capacity or willingness to meet
its financial commitment on the obligation.

CCC: Bonds rated
&#147;CCC&#148; 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: A subordinated
debt or preferred stock obligation rated &#147;C&#148; is currently highly
vulnerable to nonpayment. The &#147;C&#148; rating may be used to cover a
situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or similar action has been
taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued. A &#147;C&#148; 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
&#147;D&#148; are in default. Payments on the obligation are not being made on
the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless
Standard and Poor&#146;s believes that such payments will be made during such
grace period. The &#147;D&#148; rating will also 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
&#147;AA&#148; to &#147;CCC&#148; may be modified by the addition of a plus (+)
or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.
The &#147;r&#148; symbol is attached to the ratings of instruments with
significant noncredit risks.

Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings

A-1: Obligation is
rated in the highest category. The obligor&#146;s capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation is strong. Within this category, a plus (+) sign
designation indicates the obligor&#146;s capacity to meet its financial
obligation is extremely strong.

A-2: Obligation is
somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and
economic conditions than obligations in higher rating categories. However, the
obligor&#146;s capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is
satisfactory.

A-3: Obligation 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: Obligation 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&#146;s inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.

C: Obligation 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: Obligation is in
payment default. Payments on the obligation have not been made on the due date
even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard and
Poor&#146;s believes that such payments will be made during such grace period.
The &#147;D&#148; rating will also be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy
petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are
jeopardized.

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. &#147;DDD&#148; obligations have the highest potential for
recovery, around 90%-100% of outstanding amounts and accrued interest.
&#147;DD&#148; indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and
&#147;D&#148; the lowest recovery potential, i.e., below 50%.

Entities rated in this
category have defaulted on some or all of their obligations. Entities rated
&#147;DDD&#148; have the highest prospect for resumption of performance or
continued operation with or without a formal reorganization process. Entities
rated &#147;DD&#148; and &#147;D&#148; are generally undergoing a formal
reorganization or liquidation process; those rated &#147;DD&#148; are likely to
satisfy a higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated
&#147;D&#148; 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
&#147;AAA&#148; category or to categories below &#147;CCC,&#148; nor to
short-term ratings other than &#147;F1&#148; (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.

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 &#147;Distributor&#148;), 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 &#147;Transfer Agent&#148;) 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
&#147;Manager&#148;).

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).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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 of the end 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 &#147;Class A
Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.&#148;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.

- - Purchases by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Rollover IRA, if the purchases are made:
(1) through a broker, dealer, bank or registered investment advisor that has made special arrangements with
the Distributor for those purchases, or

(2)

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 &amp; Smith, Inc.
(&#147;Merrill Lynch&#148;) 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. (&#147;MLIM&#148;), that are made available under a
Service Agreement between Merrill Lynch and the mutual fund&#146;s principal
underwriter or distributor, and (b) funds advised or managed by MLIM (the funds
described in (a) and (b) are referred to as &#147;Applicable Investments&#148;).

(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 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&#146;s Prospectus.

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&#146;s Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.

members of Associations also may purchase shares for their individual or
custodial accounts at these reduced sales charge rates, upon request to the
Distributor.

&nbsp;

- -
withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan holding only either Class B or

the account value; adjusted annually, and - liquidation of a shareholder&#146;s

shares of the Oppenheimer fund described in this section if the proceeds are
invested in the same Class of shares in that fund or another Oppenheimer fund
within 90 days after redemption.

Connecticut
Mutual Investment Accounts, Inc.

The initial and contingent

funds (each is referred to as a &#147;Fund&#148; in this section):

Oppenheimer U. S. Government Trust,
Oppenheimer Bond Fund,
Oppenheimer Value Fund and
Oppenheimer Disciplined Allocation Fund
are modified as described
below for those Fund shareholders who were shareholders of the following funds
(referred to as the &#147;Former Connecticut Mutual Funds&#148;) on March 1,
1996, when OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the investment advisor to the Former
Connecticut Mutual Funds:

Connecticut Mutual Liquid Account Connecticut Mutual Total Return Account
Connecticut Mutual Government Securities Account CMIA LifeSpan Capital Appreciation Account
Connecticut Mutual Income Account CMIA LifeSpan Balanced Account
Connecticut Mutual Growth Account CMIA Diversified Income Account

A. Prior Class A CDSC and Class A Sales Charge Waivers.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-
Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Certain shareholders of a Fund
and the other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds are entitled to continue to make
additional purchases of Class A shares at net asset value without a 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 &#147;prior Class A
CDSC&#148;). 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,
any shares not subject to the prior Class A CDSC will be redeemed first).

Those shareholders who are eligible for the prior Class A CDSC are:

(1)

persons whose purchases of Class A shares of a Fund and other Former Connecticut
Mutual Funds were $500,000 prior to March 18, 1996, as a result of direct
purchases or purchases pursuant to the Fund&#146;s policies on Combined
Purchases or Rights of Accumulation, who still hold those shares in 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, 1996, with the former general distributor of the Former
Connecticut Mutual Funds to purchase 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;-
Class A Sales Charge Waivers. Additional Class A shares of a Fund may be
purchased without a sales charge, by a person who was in one (or more) of the
categories below and acquired Class A shares prior to March 18, 1996, and still
holds Class A shares:

any purchaser, provided the total initial amount invested in the Fund or any one
or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or more,
including investments made pursuant to the Combined Purchases, Statement of
Intention and Rights of Accumulation features available at the time of the
initial purchase and such investment is still held in one or more of the Former
Connecticut Mutual Funds or a Fund into which such Fund merged;

(2)

any participant in a qualified plan, provided that the total initial amount
invested by the plan in the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut
Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or more;

(3) Trustees of the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds and members of their
immediate families;

retirees from such group) engaged in a common business, profession, civic or
charitable endeavor or other activity, and the spouses and minor dependent
children of such persons, pursuant to a marketing program between CMFS and such
group; and

(6)

an institution acting as a fiduciary on behalf of an individual or individuals,
if such institution was directly compensated by the individual(s) for
recommending the purchase of the shares of the Fund or any one or more of the
Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, provided the institution had an agreement with
CMFS.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Purchases
of Class A shares made pursuant to (1) and (2) above may be subject to the Class
A CDSC of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds described above.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Additionally,
Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased without a sales charge by any holder
of a variable annuity contract issued in New York State by Connecticut Mutual
Life Insurance Company through the Panorama Separate Account which is beyond the
applicable surrender charge period and which was used to fund a qualified plan,
if that holder exchanges the variable annuity contract proceeds to buy Class A
shares of the Fund.

B. Class A and Class B Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Waivers.

In addition to the waivers
set forth in the Prospectus and in this Appendix, above, the contingent deferred
sales charge will be waived for redemptions of Class A and Class B shares of a
Fund and exchanges of Class A or Class B shares of a Fund into Class A or Class
B shares of a Former Connecticut Mutual Fund provided that the Class A or Class
B shares of the Fund to be redeemed or exchanged were (i) acquired prior to
March 18, 1996 or (ii) were acquired by exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that
was a Former Connecticut Mutual Fund. Additionally, the shares of such Former
Connecticut Mutual Fund must have been purchased prior to March 18, 1996: (1) by
the estate of a deceased shareholder; (2) upon the disability of a shareholder,
as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code; (3) for retirement
distributions (or loans) to participants or beneficiaries from retirement plans
qualified

plans created under Section 457 of the Code, or other employee benefit plans;

(4) as tax-free returns of excess contributions to such retirement or employee benefit plans;
(5) in whole or in part, in connection with shares sold to any state, county, or city, or any

&nbsp;

instrumentality,
department, authority, or agency thereof, that is prohibited by applicable
investment laws from paying a sales charge or concession in connection with the
purchase of shares of any registered investment management company;

(6)

in connection with the redemption of shares of the Fund due to a combination
with another investment company by virtue of a merger, acquisition or similar
reorganization transaction;

(7) in connection with the Fund's right to involuntarily redeem or liquidate the Fund;

(8)

in connection with automatic redemptions of Class A shares and Class B shares in
certain retirement plan accounts pursuant to an Automatic Withdrawal Plan but
limited to no more than 12% of the original value annually; or

set forth in the Fund&#146;s Declaration of Trust, or as adopted by the Board of
Trustees of the Fund.

Shareholders of Oppenheimer Municipal Bond Fund, Oppenheimer U.S. Government
Trust, Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund and Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund who
acquired (and still hold) shares of those funds as a result of the
reorganization of series of Advance America Funds, Inc. into those Oppenheimer
funds on October 18, 1991, and who held shares of Advance America Funds, Inc. on
March 30, 1990, may purchase Class A shares of those four Oppenheimer funds at a
maximum sales charge rate of 4.50%.

1 Mr. Griffith and Mr. Murphy are not Directors of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. Mr. Murphy is not a
Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.
1 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund.
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
&#147;employee benefit plan&#148; means any plan or arrangement, whether or not
it is &#147;qualified&#148; 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
&#147;Group Retirement Plan&#148; means any qualified or non-qualified
retirement plan for employees of a corporation or sole proprietorship, members
and employees of a partnership or association or other organized group of
persons (the members of which may include other groups), if the group has made
special arrangements with the Distributor and all members of the group
participating in (or who are eligible to participate in) the plan purchase
shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment dealer,
broker or other financial institution designated by the group. Such plans
include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b) plans other than
plans for public school employees. The term &#147;Group Retirement Plan&#148;
also includes qualified retirement plans and 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 $1million or
more (including any right of accumulation) 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. 6 This
provision does not apply to IRAs.

7 This provision
does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant is less than age
55, nor to IRAs. 8 The distribution must be requested prior to Plan
termination or the elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option
under the Plan.

9 This provision does not apply to IRAs.
10 This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans.
11 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.

Item 24. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund

Item 25. Indemnification
- -------------------------

Reference is made to the provisions of Article Seven of Registrant's Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust
filed as Exhibit 23(a) to this Registration Statement, and incorporated herein by reference.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees,
officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses incurred or paid
by a trustee, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of
its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction
the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of
1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 26. - Business and Other Connections of the Investment Adviser

(a) OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is the investment adviser of the Registrant; it and certain subsidiaries and
affiliates act in the same capacity to other investment companies, including without limitation those described
in Parts A and B hereof and listed in Item 26(b) below.

(b) There is set forth below information as to any other business, profession, vocation or employment of a
substantial nature in which each officer and director of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is, or at any time during the
past two fiscal years has been, engaged for his/her own account or in the capacity of director, officer,
employee, partner or trustee.
