The Fund's Investment Objective and Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks high total investment return consistent with preservation
of principal.

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN? The Fund buys a variety of different types of securities to seek its
objective. Mainly, these include:
o        Equity securities. Primarily common stocks of U.S. and foreign companies.
o        Debt securities. Including bonds and notes issued by domestic and foreign companies (which can include
        lower-grade, high-yield securities), securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its
        agencies and instrumentalities, including mortgage-related securities (these are referred to as "U.S.
        Government securities"), and debt obligations of foreign governments.
o        Money market instruments, which are obligations that have a maturity of 13 months or less, including
        short-term U.S. Government securities, corporate and bank debt obligations and commercial paper.

         These investments are more fully explained in "About the Fund's Investments," below.

HOW DO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In selecting securities for the Fund, the
Fund's portfolio managers use different investment styles to carry out an asset allocation strategy that seeks
broad diversification across asset classes. They normally maintain a balanced mix of stocks, debt securities and
cash, although the Fund has no requirements to weight the portfolio holdings in a fixed proportion. Therefore,
the portfolio's mix of equity and debt securities and cash will change over time as the portfolio managers seek
relative values and opportunities in different asset classes.

         Because the goal of total return looks for an increase in the overall portfolio value from a combination
of capital growth and income, the Fund invests in stocks mainly for their growth potential and in debt securities
for income. The income from debt securities and money market instruments can also help the Fund preserve
principal when stock markets are volatile.

         The portfolio managers employ both "growth" and "value" styles in selecting stocks. They employ
fundamental analysis of a company's financial statements and management structure, operations and product
development, as well as the industry of which the company is part. Value investing seeks stocks that are
temporarily out of favor or undervalued in the market by various measures, such as the stock's price/earnings
ratio. Growth investing seeks stocks that the manager believes have possibilities for increases in stock price
because of strong earnings growth compared to the market, the development of new products or services or other
favorable economic factors.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking high total return from their
investment over the long term, from a fund employing different investment styles in allocating its assets among a
variety of types of securities. While the Fund selects investments consistent with the goal of preservation of
principal, investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are
typical for a fund with significant investments in stocks and foreign securities. Since the Fund's income level
will fluctuate, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. Because of its focus
on seeking total return over the long-term, the Fund may be appropriate for a part of an investor's retirement
plan portfolio. However, 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 similar objectives.

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCKS. Stocks fluctuate in price, and their short-term volatility at times may be great.
The Fund will normally invest at least 25% of its total assets in stocks and other equity securities, and the
value of the Fund's portfolio therefore will be affected by changes in the stock markets. Market risk will affect
the Fund's net asset values 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. The Fund has no requirements to invest in companies in any particular capitalization range, and can
invest in securities of large companies and also small and medium-size companies, which may have more volatile
stock prices than large companies.

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. The Fund can buy securities issued by companies or governments in any country,
developed and emerging markets. While the Fund has no limits on the amounts it can invest in foreign securities,
it normally expects to invest not more than 50% of its assets in foreign securities. Foreign securities may offer
special investment opportunities, but 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.

Special Risks of Emerging and Developing Markets. Securities in emerging and developing markets present risks not
         found in more mature markets. Those securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and
         their prices may be more volatile than securities of issuers in more developed markets. Settlements of
         trades may be subject to greater delays so that the Fund might not receive the proceeds of a sale of a
         security on a timely basis.

         Emerging markets might have less developed trading markets and exchanges, and legal and accounting
         systems. Investments may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions on withdrawing the sales
         proceeds of securities from the country. Economies of developing countries may be more dependent on
         relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Governments may be
         more unstable and present greater risks of nationalization or restrictions on foreign ownership of
         stocks of local companies. These investments may be very speculative.

CREDIT RISK. Debt securities are subject to credit risk. Credit risk is the risk that the issuer of a security
might not make interest and principal payments on the security as they become due. If the issuer fails to pay
interest, the Fund's income might be reduced and if the issuer fails to repay principal, the value of that
security and of the Fund's shares might fall. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news
about an issuer can cause the market value of that issuer's securities to fall. While the Fund's investments in
U.S. Government securities are subject to little credit risk, the Fund's other investments in debt securities,
particularly high-yield lower-grade debt securities, are subject to risks of default.

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

INTEREST RATE RISKS. The values of debt securities are subject to change when prevailing interest rates change.
When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. When interest rates rise,
the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall and they may sell at a discount from their face
amount. The magnitude of these fluctuations will often be greater for debt securities having longer maturities
than shorter-term debt securities. The Fund's share prices can go up or down when interest rates change because
of the effect of the changes on the value of the Fund's investments in debt securities.

PREPAYMENT RISK. Prepayment risk occurs when the issuer of a security can prepay the principal prior to the
security's maturity. Securities subject to prepayment risk, including the mortgage-related securities that the
Fund can buy, have greater potential for loss when interest rates rise. The impact of prepayments on the price of
a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the volatility of the price. Additionally, the Fund might
buy mortgage-related securities at a premium. Accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause the Fund to
lose a portion of its principal investment represented by the premium the Fund paid.

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

         If prepayments of mortgages underlying a CMO occur faster than expected when interest rates fall, the
market value and yield of the CMO could be reduced. Additionally, the Fund may have to reinvest the prepayment
proceeds in other securities paying interest at lower rates, which could reduce the Fund's yield.
         If interest rates rise rapidly, prepayments might occur at slower rates than expected, which could have
the effect of lengthening the expected maturity of a short or medium-term security. That could cause its value to
fluctuate more widely in response to changes in interest rates. In turn, this could cause the value of the Fund's
shares to fluctuate more.

ASSET ALLOCATION RISKS. Because the Fund typically invests in a combination of stocks, bonds and money market
instruments to seek total return, it might not achieve growth in its share prices to the same degree as funds
focusing on stocks during periods of rapidly rising prices. Also, the Fund's investments in stocks may make it
more difficult for the Manager to preserve principal in volatile stock markets. The Fund's use of value and
growth styles in selecting stocks might not be successful, particularly if stocks selected as value investments
fail to appreciate in price to the extent the Manager expected.

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, domestic and foreign stock markets can be volatile, and the price of the Fund's
shares will go up and down in response to those changes. The Fund's income-oriented investments may help cushion
the Fund's total return from changes in stock prices, but debt securities are subject to credit, prepayment and
interest rate risks. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund may be less volatile than funds that focus only
on stock investments, but has less opportunities for capital growth and more risks than the funds that focus
solely on investment grade 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 broad-based market indices. The
Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

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

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

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 10-year period shown in the bar chart, the highest return (not annualized) for a calendar quarter was
11.15% (4th Q '98) and the lowest return (not annualized) for a calendar quarter was -11.03% (3rd Q '01).

   1. From 12/31/91.
   2. 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) and 2% (5
   years); and for Class C and Class N, the 1% contingent deferred sales charge for the 1-year period and life of
   class, respectively. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, Class B "life
   of the class" performance does not include the contingent deferred sales charge and uses Class A performance
   for the period after conversion.
   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 Standard & Poor's 500 Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. equity securities, and to the Lehman
   Brothers Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. corporate, government and mortgage-backed
   securities. 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 meant 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.

Expenses may vary in future years. "Other Expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial expenses, and
accounting and legal expenses the Fund pays.  The Fund's transfer agent has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer
and shareholder servicing agent fees to 0.35% per annum, effective October 1, 2001.

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

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

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

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

In the first example, expenses include the initial sales charge for Class A and the applicable Class B, Class C
or Class N contingent deferred sales charges. In the second example, the Class A expenses include the sales
charge, but Class B, Class C and Class N expenses do not include the contingent deferred sales charges.
1.       Class B expenses for years 7 through 10 are based on Class A expenses, since Class B shares
    automatically convert to Class A shares after 6 years.




About the Fund's Investments

THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES. The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among 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.

         At times the Fund may focus more on investing for capital appreciation with less emphasis on seeking
income, while seeking to preserve principal. At other times, for example when stock markets are less stable, the
Fund might have greater relative emphasis on income-seeking investments, such as government securities and money
market instruments.

         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 issuer. 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 and the income they pay 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.

         In seeking broad diversification of the Fund's portfolio over asset classes, issuers and economies, the
portfolio managers consider overall and relative economic conditions in U.S. and foreign markets. They seek broad
diversification by investing in different countries to help moderate the special risks of investing in foreign
securities and lower-grade, high-yield debt securities.

Stock Investments. The Fund's stock investments may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities.
         Over-the-counter securities may have less liquidity than exchange-traded securities. Stocks represent an
         ownership interest in a company and common stocks rank below preferred stocks and bonds in their claim
         for dividends and assets if the issuer is liquidated or becomes bankrupt.

Debt Securities. The Fund will normally invest at least 25% of its assets in fixed-income senior securities, such
         as bonds and notes. The debt securities the Fund buys may be rated by nationally recognized rating
         organizations or they may be unrated securities assigned a rating by the Manager. The Fund's investments
         may be investment grade or below investment grade in credit quality. The Manager does not rely solely on
         ratings by rating organizations in selecting debt securities but evaluates business and economic factors
         affecting an issuer as well.

         The Fund's foreign debt investments can be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies. Foreign
         government securities might not be backed by the government's full faith and credit. The Fund can buy
         "Brady Bonds." Those are U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities collateralized by zero-coupon U.S.
         Treasury securities. They are typically issued by governments of emerging market countries and are
         considered speculative securities with higher risks of default. The Fund will buy foreign currency only
         in connection with the purchase and sale of foreign securities and not for speculation.

     o   U.S. Government Securities. The Fund can invest in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury
         or other U.S. Government agencies or federally-chartered corporate entities referred to as
         "instrumentalities." These are referred to as "U.S. Government securities" in this Prospectus. They can
         include collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and other mortgage-related securities.

     o   U.S. Treasury Obligations. These include Treasury bills (having maturities of one year or less when
         issued), Treasury notes (having maturities of more than one and up to ten years when issued), and
         Treasury bonds (having maturities of more than ten years when issued). Treasury securities are backed by
         the full faith and credit of the United States as to timely payments of interest and repayment of
         principal. Although not rated, Treasury obligations have little credit risk but prior to their maturity
         are subject to interest rate risk.

     o   Obligations of U.S. Government Agencies or Instrumentalities. These include direct obligations and
         mortgage-related securities that have different levels of credit support from the U.S. Government. These
         have relatively little credit risk. 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").

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

     o   Private-Issuer Mortgage-Backed Securities. The Fund can invest in mortgage-backed securities issued by
         private issuers, which do not offer the credit backing of U.S. Government mortgage-related securities.
         Primarily these would include multi-class debt or pass-through certificates secured by mortgage loans.
         They may be issued by banks, savings and loans, mortgage bankers and other non-governmental issuers.
         Private issuer mortgage-backed securities are subject to the credit risks of the issuers (as well as
         interest rate risks and prepayment risks), although in some cases they may be supported by insurance or
         guarantees.

     ?   High-Yield, Lower-Grade Debt Securities. The Fund can purchase a variety of lower-grade, high-yield debt
         securities, to seek current income. These securities are sometimes called "junk bonds." The Fund has no
         requirements as to the maturity of the debt securities it can buy, or as to the market capitalization
         range of the issuers of those securities. The Fund limits these investments to not more than 35% of its
         assets.

         Lower-grade debt securities are those rated below "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") or
         lower than "BBB" by Standard & Poor's ("S&P") or that have comparable ratings by other
         nationally-recognized rating organizations. They include unrated securities assigned a comparable rating
         by the Manager. 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. While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by S&P are considered
         "investment grade," they have some speculative characteristics.

     o   Money Market Instruments. The Fund can invest in money market instruments, which include short-term
         certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, commercial paper, U.S. Government obligations, and other
         debt instruments (including bonds) issued by corporations. These securities may have variable or
         floating interest rates. The Fund's investments in commercial paper in general will be limited to paper
         in the top two rating categories of S&P or Moody's.

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 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 Investments. The Fund's equity investments are mainly common stocks, but also include preferred
         stocks 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 rating has less
         impact on the investment decision than in the case of other debt securities.

Zero-Coupon and "Stripped" Securities. Some of the U.S. Government debt securities the Fund buys are zero-coupon
         bonds that pay no interest. They are issued at a substantial discount from their face value. "Stripped"
         securities are the separate income or principal components of a debt security. Some CMOs or other
         mortgage-related securities may be stripped, with each component having a different proportion of
         principal or interest payments. One class might receive all the interest and the other all the principal
         payments.

         Zero-coupon and stripped securities are subject to greater fluctuations in price from interest rate
         changes than interest-bearing securities. The Fund may have to pay out the imputed income on zero-coupon
         securities without receiving the actual cash currently. Interest-only securities are particularly
         sensitive to changes in interest rates.

         The values of interest-only mortgage related securities are also very sensitive to prepayments of
         underlying mortgages. When prepayments tend to fall, the timing of the cash flows to these securities
         increases, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates. The market for some of these
         securities may be limited, making it difficult for the Fund to dispose of its holdings quickly at an
         acceptable price.

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
         substantial 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 is not required to use hedging instruments to
         seek its objective. The Fund does not use hedging instruments for speculative purposes, and has limits
         on its use of them.

         The Fund could buy and sell options, futures and forward contracts for a number of purposes. It might do
         so to try to manage its exposure to the possibility that the prices of its portfolio securities may
         decline, or to establish a position in the securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing
         individual securities. It might do so to try to manage its exposure to changing interest rates. Forward
         contracts can be used to try to manage foreign currency risks on the Fund's foreign investments.

         There are also special risks in particular hedging strategies. Options trading involves the payment of
         premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. 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 and will not be able to realize any profit if the investment has increased in value above the call
         price.

         If the Manager used a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judged market conditions incorrectly, the
         strategy could reduce the Fund's return. The Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its
         futures and options positions were not correlated with its other investments or if it could not close
         out a position because of an illiquid market.

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 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 Managers. The Fund's management team includes five portfolio managers. Each is a Vice President of the
         Fund. They are the persons principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's
         portfolio. Richard H. Rubinstein, a Senior Vice President of the Manager, has been a portfolio manager
         of the Fund since April 15, 1991. Since August 21, 1998, David Negri, a Senior Vice President of the
         Manager, George Evans and Michael Levine, who are both Vice Presidents of the Manager, have been
         portfolio managers of the Fund. Since May 1, 2001 Susan Switzer, Vice President of the Manager has been
         a portfolio manager of the Fund.  Each serves as an officer and manager of other Oppenheimer funds.

Advisory Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at an annual
         rate that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows: 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 its last fiscal year ended September 30, 2001 was 0.71%
         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 servicing 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 transfers from your bank account. Shares are purchased for your account by a transfer of money
         from your account 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 by telephone 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 net asset value of each class of shares is determined as of the close of The New York Stock
         Exchange, on each day the Exchange is open for trading (referred to in this Prospectus as a "regular
         business day"). The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., New York time, but may close earlier on some
         days. All references to time in this Prospectus mean "New York time."

         The net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable
         to a class by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. To determine net asset value, the
         Fund's Board of Trustees has established procedures to value the Fund's securities, in general based on
         market value. The Board has adopted special procedures for valuing illiquid and restricted securities
         and obligations for which market values cannot be readily obtained. Because some foreign securities
         trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the
         Fund's foreign investments may change 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 four 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 I 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 I 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 I Buy  Class C Shares?" below.
Class N Shares. If you buy Class N shares (available only through certain retirement plans), you pay no sales charge
        at the time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your shares within
        18 months of the retirement plan's first purchase of Class N shares, you may pay a contingent deferred sales
        charge of 1%, as described in "How Can You Buy Class N Shares?" below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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

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

How Long Do You Expect to Hold Your Investment? While future financial needs cannot be predicted with certainty,
         knowing how long you expect to hold your investment will assist you in selecting the appropriate class
         of shares. Because of the effect of class-based expenses, your choice will also depend on how much you
         plan to invest. For example, the reduced sales charges available for larger purchases of Class A shares
         may, over time, offset the effect of paying an initial sales charge on your investment, compared to the
         effect over time of higher class-based expenses on shares of Class B or Class C. For retirement plans
         that qualify to purchase Class N shares, Class N shares will generally be more advantageous than Class B
         and Class C shares.

     o   Investing for the Shorter Term. While the Fund is meant to be a long-term investment, if you have a
         relatively short-term investment horizon (that is, you plan to hold your shares for not more than six
         years), you should probably consider purchasing Class A or Class C shares rather than Class B shares.
         That is because of the effect of the Class B contingent deferred sales charge if you redeem within six
         years, as well as the effect of the Class B asset-based sales charge on the investment return for that
         class in the short-term. Class C shares might be the appropriate choice (especially for investments of
         less than $100,000), because there is no initial sales charge on Class C shares, and the contingent
         deferred sales charge does not apply to amounts you sell after holding them one year.

         However, if you plan to invest more than $100,000 for the shorter term, then as your investment horizon
         increases toward six years, Class C shares might not be as advantageous as Class A shares. That is
         because the annual asset-based sales charge on Class C shares will have a greater impact on your account
         over the longer term than the reduced front-end sales charge available for larger purchases of Class A
         shares.

         And for non-retirement plan investors who invest $1 million or more, in most cases Class A shares will
         be the most advantageous choice, no matter how long you intend to hold your shares. For that reason, the
         Distributor normally will not accept purchase orders of $500,000 or more of Class B shares or $1 million
         or more of Class C shares from a single investor.

     o   Investing for the Longer Term. If you are investing less than $100,000 for the longer-term, for example
         for retirement, and do not expect to need access to your money for seven years or more, Class B shares
         may be appropriate.

Are There Differences in Account Features That Matter to You? Some account features may not be available to Class
         B, Class C 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 charges 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 C to the Statement of Additional Information details the
conditions for the waiver of sales charges that apply in certain cases, and the special sales charge rates that
apply to purchases of shares of the Fund by certain groups, or under specified retirement plan arrangements or in
other special types of transactions. To receive a waiver or special sales charge rate, you must advise the
Distributor when purchasing shares or the Transfer Agent when redeeming shares that the special conditions apply.

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

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

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

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges? You may be eligible to buy Class A shares at reduced sales charge rates
         under the Fund's "Right of Accumulation" or a Letter of Intent, as described in "Reduced Sales Charges"
         in the Statement of Additional Information.

Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge.  There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
         one or more of the Oppenheimer funds aggregating $1 million or more, or for certain purchases by
         particular types of retirement plans that were permitted to purchase such shares prior to March 1, 2001
         ("grandfathered retirement accounts").  Retirement plans are not permitted to make initial purchases of
         Class A shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.  The Distributor pays dealers of record
         concessions in an amount equal to 1.0% of purchases of $1 million or more other than by grandfathered
         retirement accounts. For grandfathered retirement accounts, the concession is 1.0% of the first $2.5
         million, plus 0.50% of the next $2.5 million, plus 0.25% of purchases over $5 million, calculated on a
         calendar year basis.  In either case, the concession will not be paid on purchases of shares by exchange
         or that were previously subject to a front-end sales charge and dealer concession.

         If you redeem any of those shares within an 18 month "holding period" measured from the beginning of the
         calendar month of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge (called the "Class A contingent
         deferred sales charge") may be deducted from the redemption proceeds.  That sales charge will be equal
         to 1.0% of the lesser of:
o        the aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of redemption (excluding shares
                  purchased by reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions) or
o        the original net asset value of the redeemed shares.

         The Class A contingent deferred sales charge will not exceed the aggregate amount of the concessions the
         Distributor paid to your dealer on all purchases of Class A shares of all Oppenheimer funds you made
         that were subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge.

Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans.  There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
         one or more Oppenheimer funds by retirement plans that have $10 million or more in plan assets and that
         have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor and by retirement plans which are part of a
         retirement plan product or platform offered by certain banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors,
         insurance companies or recordkeepers which have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor.
         The Distributor currently pays dealers of record concessions in an amount equal to 0.25% of the purchase
         price of Class A shares by those retirement plans from its own resources at the time of sale, subject to
         certain exceptions as described in the Statement of Additional Information. There is no contingent
         deferred sales charge upon the redemption of such shares.

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

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

                                                            Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on
  Years Since Beginning of Month in Which                   Redemptions in That Year
  Purchase Order was Accepted                               (As % of Amount Subject to Charge)

  --------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
  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? 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.



DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS.

Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class A shares. It reimburses the
Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares.
Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Class A
shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other
financial institutions quarterly for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers
that hold Class A shares.

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and
         Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N shares to pay the Distributor for its services and costs
         in distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares and servicing accounts. Under the plans, the Fund
         pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B shares and on Class C shares
         and 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 expenses by 0.50% of the net assets per year of the respective class. Because these
         fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an ongoing basis, over time these fees will increase the cost
         of your investment and may cost you more than other types of sales charges.

         The Distributor uses the service fees to compensate dealers for providing personal services for accounts
         that hold Class B, Class C or Class N shares. The Distributor pays the 0.25% service fees to dealers in
         advance for the first year after the shares are sold by the dealer. After the shares have been held for
         a year, the Distributor pays the service fees to dealers on a quarterly basis. The Distributor retains
         the service fees for accounts for which it renders the required personal services.

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

         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 asset-based sales charge on Class N shares.

         established by calling the special PhoneLink number.
Selling Shares. You can redeem shares by telephone automatically by calling the PhoneLink number and the Fund
         will send the proceeds directly to your AccountLink bank account. Please refer to "How to Sell Shares,"
         below for details.

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

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

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

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

     o   Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). These include regular IRAs, Roth IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs and rollover
         IRAs.
     o   SEP-IRAs. These are Simplified Employee Pension Plan IRAs for small business owners or self-employed
         individuals.
     o   403(b)(7) Custodial Plans. These are tax-deferred plans for employees of eligible tax-exempt
         organizations, such as schools, hospitals and charitable organizations.
     o   401(k) Plans. These are special retirement plans for businesses.
     o   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 more than $100,000 and receive a check
     o   The redemption check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the account statement
     o   The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your account statement
     o   Shares are being transferred to a Fund account with a different owner or name
     o   Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor) other than the owners

Where Can You Have Your Signature Guaranteed? The Transfer Agent will accept a guarantee of your signature by a
         number of financial institutions, including:

     o   a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
     o   a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
     o   a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities or government securities, or
     o   a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities association or a clearing agency.

         If you are signing on behalf of a corporation, partnership or other business or as a fiduciary, you must
also include your title in the signature.

Retirement Plan Accounts. There are special procedures to sell shares in an OppenheimerFunds retirement plan
       account. Call the Transfer Agent for a distribution request form. Special income tax withholding
       requirements apply to distributions from retirement plans. You must submit a withholding form with your
       redemption request to avoid delay in getting your money and if you do not want tax withheld. If your
       employer holds your retirement plan account for you in the name of the plan, you must ask the plan trustee
       or administrator to request the sale of the Fund shares in your plan account.

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.

P.O. Box 5270                                                10200 E. Girard Avenue, Building D
Denver, Colorado 80217                                       Denver, Colorado 80231

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

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

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

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

         A contingent deferred sales charge will be based on the lesser of the net asset value of the redeemed
shares at the time of redemption or the original net asset value. A contingent deferred sales charge is not
imposed on:
     o   the amount of your account value represented by an increase in net asset value over the initial purchase
         price,
     o   shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gains distributions, or
     o   shares redeemed in the special circumstances described in Appendix C to the Statement of Additional
         Information.

         To determine whether a contingent deferred sales charge applies to a redemption, the Fund redeems shares
         in the following order:
     1.  shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions,
     2.  shares held for the holding period that applies to the class, and
     3.  shares held the longest during the holding period.

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

How to Exchange Shares

         Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of certain Oppenheimer funds at net asset value per share
at the time of exchange, without sales charge. Shares of the Fund can be purchased by exchange of shares of other
Oppenheimer funds on the same basis. To exchange shares, you must meet several conditions:
     o   Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in your state of residence.
     o   The prospectuses of both funds must offer the exchange privilege.
     o   You must hold the shares you buy when you establish your account for at least seven days before you can
         exchange them. After the account is open seven days, you can exchange shares every regular business day.
     o   You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the fund whose shares you purchase by exchange.
     o   Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain and read its prospectus.

Shares of a particular class of the Fund may be exchanged only for shares of the same class in  the other
Oppenheimer funds. For example, you can exchange Class A shares of this Fund only for Class A shares of another
fund. In some cases, sales charges may be imposed on exchange transactions. For tax purposes, exchanges of shares
involve a sale of the shares of the fund you own and a purchase of the shares of the other fund, which may result
in a capital gain or loss. Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the Statement of Additional Information
for more details.

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

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

ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON EXCHANGES? There are certain exchange policies you should be aware of:

   o   Shares are normally  redeemed  from one fund and purchased  from the other fund in the exchange  transaction
       on the same regular  business day on which the Transfer Agent receives an exchange  request that conforms to
       the policies  described  above.  It must be received by the close of The New York Stock  Exchange  that day,
       which is normally  4:00 P.M.  but may be earlier on some days.  However,  either fund may delay the purchase
       of shares of the fund you are  exchanging  into up to seven days if it determines it would be  disadvantaged
       by the same day exchange.

   o   The  interests  of the Fund's  long-term  shareholders  and its  ability to manage  its  investments  may be
       adversely  affected  when its shares  are  repeatedly  bought  and sold in  response  to  short-term  market
       fluctuations--also  known as "market  timing."  When large dollar  amounts are  involved,  the Fund may have
       difficulty  implementing  long-term investment  strategies,  because it cannot predict how much cash it will
       have to invest.  Market  timing  also may force the Fund to sell  portfolio  securities  at  disadvantageous
       times to raise the cash  needed to buy a market  timer's  Fund  shares.  These  factors  may hurt the Fund's
       performance  and its  shareholders.  When the Manager  believes  frequent  trading  would have a  disruptive
       effect on the  Fund's  ability to manage  its  investments,  the  Manager  and the Fund may reject  purchase
       orders and  exchanges  into the Fund by any  person,  group or account  that the  Manager  believes  to be a
       market timer.

   o   The Fund may amend,  suspend or  terminate  the exchange  privilege  at any time.  The Fund will provide you
       notice  whenever  it is  required  to do so by  applicable  law,  but it may impose  changes at any time for
       emergency purposes.

o        If the Transfer Agent cannot exchange all the shares you request because of a restriction cited above,
       only the shares eligible for exchange will be exchanged.


Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More information about the Fund's policies and procedures for buying, selling and exchanging shares is contained
in the Statement of Additional Information.

The offering of shares may be suspended during any period in which the determination of net asset value is
         suspended, and the offering may be suspended by the Board of Trustees at any time the Board believes it
         is in the Fund's best interest to do so.

Telephone transaction privileges for purchases, redemptions or exchanges may be modified, suspended or terminated
         by the Fund at any time. The Fund will provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable
         law. If an account has more than one owner, the Fund and the Transfer Agent may rely on the instructions
         of any one owner. Telephone privileges apply to each owner of the account and the dealer representative
         of record for the account unless the Transfer Agent receives cancellation instructions from an owner of
         the account.

The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning transactions and has adopted other
         procedures to confirm that telephone instructions are genuine, by requiring callers to provide tax
         identification numbers and other account data or by using PINs, and by confirming such transactions in
         writing. The Transfer Agent and the Fund will not be liable for losses or expenses arising out of
         telephone instructions 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.

Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the account value has fallen below $500 for
         reasons other than the fact that the market value of shares has dropped. In some cases involuntary
         redemptions may be made to repay the Distributor for losses from the cancellation of share purchase
         orders.

Shares may be "redeemed in kind" under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity in the Fund's portfolio
         to meet redemptions). This means that the redemption proceeds will be paid with liquid securities from
         the Fund's portfolio.

"Backup Withholding" of federal income tax may be applied against taxable dividends, distributions and redemption
         proceeds (including exchanges) if you fail to furnish the Fund your correct, certified Social Security
         or Employer Identification Number when you sign your application, or if you under-report your income to
         the Internal Revenue Service.

To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Fund will mail only one copy of each
         prospectus, annual and semi-annual report and annual notice of the Fund's privacy policy to
         shareholders having the same last name and address on the Fund's records.  The consolidation of
         these mailings, called householding, benefits the Fund through reduced mailing expense.

         If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call the Transfer Agent at
         1.800.525.7048.  You may also notify the Transfer Agent in writing.  Individual copies of
         prospectuses, reports and privacy notices will be sent to you commencing 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
on a quarterly basis and to pay them to shareholders in March, June, September and December on a date selected by
the Board of Trustees. Dividends and distributions paid on Class A shares will generally be higher than dividends
for Class B, Class C and Class N shares, which normally have higher expenses than Class A. 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 fluctuate, you may have a capital
         gain or loss when you sell or exchange your shares. A capital gain or loss is the difference between the
         price you paid for the shares and the price you received when you sold them. Any capital gain is subject
         to capital gains tax.
Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the Fund may be considered a non-taxable
         return of capital to shareholders. If that occurs, it will be identified in notices to shareholders.

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