ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks high total investment return, which includes current income and capital appreciation.

 

THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.

What are "Equity Securities"? Equity securities are securities that represent an ownership interest in a company. They include common stock, preferred stock and securities convertible into common stock.           What are "Debt Securities"? Debt securities are securities representing money borrowed by the issuer that must be repaid, specifying the amount of principal, the interest or discount rate, and the time or times at which payments are due.

The Fund buys a variety of different types of securities to seek its objective. The Fund may invest in equity securities and debt securities of both domestic and foreign issuers and in issuers in different capitalization ranges.  Normally, the Fund does not expect to invest more than 35% of its total assets in foreign securities, which may include issuers in both developed and emerging markets.  The Fund may not invest more than 10% of its net assets in governments and companies in emerging markets.  The relative amounts of equity and debt securities the Fund holds may vary from time to time. The Fund's investments generally include:
Equity securities: The Fund will normally invest in stocks and other equity securities, primarily common stocks of U.S. and foreign companies.
      • Debt securities: The Fund will normally invest in fixed-income securities, such as bonds and notes. The debt securities the Fund may buy include securities issued by U.S. and foreign companies, securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government and its agencies and instrumentalities, mortgage-related securities (including private issuer mortgage-backed securities), debt obligations of foreign governments, and money market instruments.  The Fund may not invest more than 20% of its net assets in foreign debt securities. The Fund may invest without limit in lower-grade, high-yield debt securities, sometimes referred to as "junk bonds."
The Fund may also invest in derivative instruments, including: options, futures, forward contracts, swaps and "structured" notes. It may also invest in "zero-coupon" and "stripped" securities that may pay only the interest or only the principal portion of a debt obligation. These are derivative securities that have prices that may go up or down in response to interest rate changes more than other types of debt securities. The Fund may buy foreign currency but only in connection with the purchase and sale of foreign securities and not for speculation.

 

HOW THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL. In selecting securities to buy, the portfolio managers use different investment styles to seek broad diversification across asset classes. They normally maintain a mix of stocks, debt securities, cash and cash equivalents, although the Fund is not required to allocate its assets in any fixed proportion. The Fund's mix of equity securities, debt securities, cash and cash equivalents will change over time as the portfolio managers seek relative opportunities in different asset classes.

     In seeking 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.  At times the Fund may focus more on investing for capital appreciation with less emphasis on seeking income. 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.
Equity Securities. In selecting equity securities to buy, the portfolio managers mainly look for potential capital appreciation. The portfolio managers employ both "growth" and "value" styles in selecting stocks.


What is "Value Investing"? Value investing uses fundamental analysis to seek companies whose intrinsic value is greater than the current price of their securities.

Value investing seeks stocks that are undervalued in the market by various measures such as the stock's price/earnings ratio. 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. A security may be undervalued because the market is not aware of the issuer's intrinsic value, does not yet recognize its future potential, or the issuer may be temporarily out of favor. The Fund seeks to realize gains in the prices of those securities when other investors recognize their real or prospective worth.


What are "Growth Companies"? Companies whose earnings and stock prices are expected to increase at a faster rate than the overall market are considered "growth companies."

Growth investing seeks stocks that the managers believe 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. The portfolio managers also consider the effect of worldwide trends on the growth of particular business sectors and looks for companies that may benefit from those trends.
Debt Securities. In selecting debt securities to buy, the portfolio managers look for both income and for total return. The Fund has no requirements as to the maturity of the debt securities it can buy, and may invest in securities that have short-, medium- or long-term maturities. The average maturity of the Fund's portfolio can be expected to change over time. The Fund may invest in debt securities that pay interest at fixed or floating rates. The income from debt securities, including money market investments can also help the Fund preserve principal when stock markets are volatile.

 

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund's shares are available only as an investment option under certain variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies and investment plans offered through insurance company separate accounts of participating insurance companies. 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. 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. The Fund is intended to be a long-term investment, not a short-term trading vehicle and may be appropriate for longer-term investors. Because the Fund's income will fluctuate, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have some degree of risk. The value of the Fund's shares fluctuates as the value of the Fund's investments changes, and may decline. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or from more specific factors like those described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

MAIN RISKS OF INVESTING IN EQUITY SECURITIES. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes in equity markets in general. Stock markets may experience great short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. The prices of equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time; for example, "growth" stocks may perform well under circumstances in which "value" stocks in general have fallen. Other factors may affect the price of an individual company's securities. Those factors include poor earnings reports, loss of customers, litigation, or changes in regulations affecting the company or its industry.

At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular industry or sector. To the extent that the Fund increases its emphasis on stocks in a particular industry, the value of its investments may fluctuate more in response to events affecting that industry, such as changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry more than others. To the extent that the Fund emphasizes investments in securities of other particular types, for example foreign stocks or stocks of small- or mid-sized companies, its portfolio value may fluctuate more in response to events affecting the market for those types of securities.

 

MAIN RISKS OF INVESTING IN DEBT SECURITIES. Debt securities (also referred to as "fixed-income securities") may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk and extension 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 an issuer fails to pay interest or to repay principal, the Fund's income and share value will usually be reduced. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. The values of debt securities are also subject to change when prevailing interest rates change. When prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. When prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may sell at a discount from their face amount or from the amount the Fund paid for them. Interest rate changes generally have a greater effect on longer-term debt securities than on shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, the issuers of debt securities may prepay principal more quickly than expected and the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as "prepayment risk." When interest rates rise, debt securities may be repaid more slowly than expected and the value of the Fund's holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as "extension risk." Interest rate changes may have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates.

Although some of the securities that the Fund invests in are issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or it agencies or instrumentalities, the Fund also invests in securities issued by private issuers, which do not have any government guarantees. While the Fund's investments in U.S. Government securities may be subject to little credit risk, the Fund's other investments in debt securities, particularly high-yield lower-grade debt securities and mortgage-backed securities, are subject to risks of default.

        Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower-grade securities may be subject to wider market fluctuations and greater risk of loss of income and principal than investment-grade securities. While investment-grade securities are subject to risks of non-payment of interest and principal, in general those risks are greater for higher-yielding lower-grade bonds, whether rated or unrated. The market for lower-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore they may be harder to sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.

 

FIXED INCOME MARKET RISKS. Recent developments relating to subprime mortgages have adversely affected fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. The values of many types of debt securities have been reduced, including debt securities that are not related to mortgage loans. These developments have reduced the willingness of some lenders to extend credit and have made it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms or at all. In addition, broker-dealers and other market participants have been less willing to make a market in some types of debt instruments, which has impacted the liquidity of those instruments. These developments may also have a negative effect on the broader economy. There is a risk that the lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund's ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.

 

RISKS OF VALUE INVESTING. Value investing entails the risk that the market might not recognize that the selected securities are undervalued and the prices of those securities might not appreciate as anticipated. Value investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. Although "value" companies may outperform "growth" companies at certain times, "growth" companies may outperform "value" companies during other periods. During those periods the Fund may underperform funds that only use a "growth" investment strategy.

 

RISKS OF GROWTH INVESTING. If a growth company's earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time. Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price. Growth stocks may also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.

 

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. A change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency and of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, or other political and economic factors.

     Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. Developing or emerging market countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges. Securities of companies in developing or emerging market countries may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and their prices may be more volatile than securities of companies in countries with more mature markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the proceeds of a sale of a security may not be received on a timely basis. The economies of developing or emerging market countries may be more dependent on relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Developing or emerging market countries may have less developed legal and accounting systems, and investments in those countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of company assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Their governments may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. The value of the currency of a developing or emerging market country may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in companies in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

     Time-Zone Arbitrage. The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that are traded in U.S. or foreign markets. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in securities traded in foreign markets, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Fund and the Board believe to be their fair value, may help deter those activities.

 

ASSET ALLOCATION RISK. Because the Fund typically invests in a combination of securities, the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective depends largely upon selecting the best mix of investments. There is the risk that the Manager's evaluations and assumptions regarding the equity and fixed-income markets' prospects may be incorrect in view of actual market conditions. During periods of rapidly rising prices the Fund might not achieve growth in its share prices to the same degree as funds focusing only on stocks. The Fund's investments in stocks may make it more difficult for the Manager to preserve principal during periods of stock market volatility. The Fund's use of a value or growth style might not be successful when the particular strategy is out of favor.

 

                            _________________________________

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Equity securities in domestic and foreign markets may be more volatile than other investments. The Fund's income-oriented investments may help to cushion the Fund's total return from changes in stock prices, but fixed-income securities have their own risks and changes in their values can also affect the Fund's share prices. The Fund is generally less aggressive than funds that focus only on stocks but may be more aggressive than funds that focus only on investment-grade debt securities.

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. The bar chart shows the yearly performance of the Fund's Non-Service shares for the last 10 calendar years.


Charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart and if those charges were included, the returns may be less than those shown. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 12.53% (2nd qtr 03) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -30.11% (4th qtr 08).

The following table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Fund's shares before taxes compared to two broad-based market indices. Because the Fund's Service Shares are subject to a service fee, their performance is expected to be lower than the performance of Non-Service Shares for any given period. The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Average Annual Total Returns for the periods ended December 31, 2008 1 Year 5 Years
10 Years
(or life of
class, if less)
Non-Service Shares (inception 2-9-87) (43.47%) (5.70%) 0.16%
Service Shares (inception 5-1-02) (43.62%) (5.94%) (2.73%)
S&P 500 Index (36.99%) (2.19%) (1.38%)1
(reflects no deductions for fees, expenses or taxes) (0.73%)2
Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index 5.24% 4.65% 5.63%1
(reflects no deductions for fees, expenses or taxes) 5.31%2

1. Ten Years
2. From 4-30-02

The average annual total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account, without deducting charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market, and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. corporate, government and mortgage-backed securities that is a measure of the domestic bond market. The index performance includes income reinvestment but does not reflect any transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund's investments vary from those in the indices.

The Fund's total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, even if both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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. Shareholders pay certain expenses directly, such as sales charges. The Fund pays other expenses for management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay those expenses indirectly.

The numbers in the Table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, but have been restated to reflect the transfer agent fee changes described below as if those changes had been in effect during that entire fiscal year. Expenses may vary in future years.


Shareholder Fees.
The Fund does not charge an initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends. There are no redemption fees and no contingent deferred sales charges. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on initial or contingent deferred sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees for that variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product. Those charges and fees are not reflected in the tables below.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (deducted from Fund assets): (% of average daily net assets)
Non-Service Shares Service Shares
Management Fees1 0.73% 0.73%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees None 0.25%
Other Expenses2 0.13% 0.12%
Total Annual OperatingExpenses3 0.86% 1.10%

1. Effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive the advisory fee by 0.08% of the Fund's average daily net assets.  This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be withdrawn at any time.
2.  "Other expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays. Effective May 1, 2009 the Fund's transfer agent fee structure has changed. The "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" per the above table reflect the estimated annual effect of these contractual changes. Prior to May 1, 2009, the Transfer Agent had voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. For the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the transfer agent fees did not exceed that expense limitation. The actual "Other Expenses" as a percentage of the average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.03% for both Non-Service and Service Shares. The Fund also receives certain credits from the Fund's custodian that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reduced its custodial expenses for all share classes by less than 0.01% of average daily net assets.    
3. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses so that the total annual operating expenses of the Fund will not exceed 0.92% of average annual net assets for Service Shares and 0.67% of average annual net assets for Non-Service Shares. After all of the waivers and credits in effect during that period, the actual "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were 0.67% for Non-Service Shares and 0.92% for Service Shares. It is estimated that after giving effect to all of the current fee structures, waivers and credits, the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets would have been 0.59% for Non-Service Shares and 0.84% for Service Shares during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes 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 expenses for your variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product are not included and if they were included, overall expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Fund's expenses will vary over time and your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeemed your shares:

  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Non-Service Shares $88 $276 $479 $1,065
Service Shares $113 $352 $609 $1,347

In evaluating the Fund's expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets and issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer investment benefits to individuals without the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund's overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund's shareholders.

The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and 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 FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS.  The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

 

EQUITY SECURITIES. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, rights, warrants and certain debt securities that are convertible into common stock. Equity investments may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities.

Common Stock.  Common stock represents an ownership interest in a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than exchange-traded securities.

DEBT SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in debt securities, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or its agencies and instrumentalities, or foreign sovereigns, and foreign and domestic corporate bonds, notes and debentures. The Fund may select debt securities for their income possibilities or to help cushion fluctuations in the value of its portfolio.

Debt securities may be subject to the following risks:

  • Interest Rate Risk. The values of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the Fund's investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund's income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change.

       The Fund may also buy zero-coupon or "stripped" securities, which may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes.  Interest rate changes may have different effects on the values of mortgage-related securities because of prepayment and extension risks.



  • Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. That is the risk that when interest rates fall, borrowers will prepay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the security's expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium, accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause it to lose a portion of its principal investment represented by the premium. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the security's price volatility. Interest-only and principal-only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and prepayment assumptions about those investments.
  • Extension Risk. If interest rates rise rapidly, repayments of principal on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected and the expected maturity of those securities could lengthen as a result. Those securities generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their value to fall sharply.
  • Credit Risk. Debt securities are also 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. Securities directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and certain agencies that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government have little credit risk, and other U.S. Government securities generally have lower credit risks, while securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments generally have greater credit risks. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the values of the security might fall. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news about an issuer can reduce the market value of that issuer's securities.

     Credit Quality. The Fund may invest in securities that are rated or unrated. Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Rating agencies might not always change their credit rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer's ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business and economic factors affecting issuers as well.

"Investment grade" refers to securities that are rated in one of the top four rating categories by nationally-recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services or that have similar ratings from other nationally-recognized statistical rating organizations. The Fund may also consider unrated securities to be "investment grade" if they are judged to be of comparable quality to securities rated investment-grade by those organizations. Lower-grade securities are those that are rated below "Baa" by Moody's, that are rated below "BBB" by Standard & Poor's, that have similar ratings from other rating organizations or that are unrated securities judged to be of similar quality. Below investment grade securities may be considered speculative. The ratings definitions of the principal ratings organizations are included in Appendix B to the Statement of Additional Information.

The Fund may invest in investment-grade securities. The Fund may also invest without limit in securities that are rated below investment-grade and at times may invest substantial amounts of its assets in those securities to seek higher income as part of its investment goal. 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.

U.S. Government Securities. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities. Some of those securities are directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. "Full faith and credit" means that the taxing power of the U.S. Government is pledged to the payment of interest and repayment of principal on a security.

Some securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, such as Government National Mortgage Corporation pass-through mortgage obligations ("Ginnie Maes"), are also backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Others are supported by the right of the agency to borrow an amount from the U.S. Government (for example, "Fannie Mae" bonds issued by Federal National Mortgage Corporation and "Freddie Mac" obligations issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). Others are supported only by the credit of the agency (for example obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks). On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, a new independent regulatory agency, placed the Federal National Mortgage Corporation and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation into conservatorship and the U.S. Department of Treasury made a commitment to purchase mortgage-backed securities from the companies through December 2009. The U.S. Department of Treasury also entered into a new secured lending credit facility with those companies and a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. Under those agreements, the Treasury will ensure that each company maintains a positive net worth. 

     U.S. Treasury Securities. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States for payment of interest and repayment of principal and have little credit risk. Some of the securities that are issued directly by the U.S. Treasury are: Treasury bills (having maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (having maturities of from one to ten years when issued), Treasury bonds (having maturities of more than ten years when issued) and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities ("TIPS"). While U.S. Treasury securities have little credit risk, they are subject to price fluctuations from changes in interest rates prior to their maturity.

     Mortgage-Related Government Securities. The Fund can buy interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages, in the form of "pass-through" mortgage securities. They may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or its agencies and instrumentalities. Mortgage-related U.S. Government securities may be issued in different series, each having different interest rates and maturities.

Mortgage-related securities that are U.S. Government securities have collateral to secure payment of interest and principal. The collateral is either in the form of mortgage pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency or instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a U.S. Government agency. The prices and yields of mortgage-related securities are determined, in part, by assumptions about the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages and are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Private-Issuer Mortgage-Related Securities. Mortgage-related securities issued by private issuers are not U.S. Government securities, and are subject to greater credit risks than mortgage-related securities that are U.S. Government securities. Primarily these include multi-class debt or pass-through certificates secured by mortgage loans, which may be issued by banks, savings and loans, mortgage bankers and other non-governmental issuers. Private-issuer mortgage-backed securities may include loans on residential or commercial properties. 

Mortgage-related securities issued by private issuers are not U.S. Government securities, which makes them subject to greater credit risks than U.S. Government securities. Private issuer mortgage-backed securities are subject to the credit risks of the issuers, as well as to interest rate risks, although in some cases they may be supported by insurance or guarantees. The prices and yields of private issuer mortgage-related securities are also subject to prepayment and extension risk. The market for private-issuer mortgage-backed securities may be volatile at times and may be less liquid than the markets for other types of securities.

Forward Rolls. The Fund can enter into "forward roll" transactions (also referred to as "mortgage dollar rolls") with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund will bear the risk that the market value of the securities might decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase them or that the counterparty might default in its obligations.

Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are fractional interests in pools of loans, other assets or receivables. They are issued by trusts or other special purpose vehicles and are collateralized by the loans, other assets or receivables that make up the pool. The trust or other issuer passes the income from the underlying pool to the investor. Neither the Fund nor the Manager selects the loans or other assets that are included in the pools or the collateral backing those pools. Asset-backed securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Certain asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risk.

Risks of Small- and Mid-Sized Companies. Small- and mid-sized companies may be either established or newer companies, including "unseasoned" companies that have been in operation for less than three years. While smaller companies might offer greater opportunities for gain than larger companies, they also involve greater risk of loss. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company's earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies' securities often trade in lower volumes and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Small- and mid-sized companies may not have established markets for their products or services and may have fewer customers and product lines. They may have more limited access to financial resources and may not have the financial strength to sustain them through business downturns or adverse market conditions. Since small- and mid-sized companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. Smaller companies may have unseasoned management or less depth in management skill than larger, more established companies. They may be more reliant on the efforts of particular members of their management team and management changes may pose a greater risk to the success of the business. Securities of small, unseasoned companies may be particularly volatile, especially in the short term, and may have very limited liquidity. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-sized company, if any gain is realized at all.

The Fund currently focuses on securities of issuers that have mid-to-large capitalizations. They may pay higher dividends than small capitalization companies and their stock prices have tended to be less volatile than securities of smaller issuers. However, the Fund can buy stocks of issuers in all capitalization ranges. At times the Manager might increase the relative emphasis of securities of issuers in a particular capitalization range if the Manager believes they offer greater opportunities for total return.

The Fund limits its investments in securities of small, unseasoned issuers to not more than 5% of its net assets.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different types of "derivative" investments. A derivative is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks.

The Fund may use derivatives to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.

     Options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, "structured" notes, and certain mortgage-related securities are some of the types of derivatives the Fund can use. The Fund may also use other types of derivatives that are consistent with its investment strategies or for hedging purposes.

      "Structured" Notes. "Structured" notes are specially-designed derivative debt investments. The terms of the instrument may be "structured" by the purchaser and the issuer of the note. Payments of principal or interest on these notes may be linked to the value of an index (such as a currency or securities index), an individual security, or a commodity. The value of these notes will normally rise or fall in response to the changes in the performance of the underlying security, index or commodity.

Structured notes are subject to interest rate risk and are also subject to credit risk with respect both to the borrower (referred to as "counter-party" risk) and to the issuer of the underlying investment. If the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated, the Fund might receive less interest than the stated coupon payment or repay less principal upon maturity. The price of structured notes may be very volatile and they may have a limited trading market, making it difficult for the Fund to value them or sell them at an acceptable price.

     Credit Default Swaps. A credit default swap enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a credit event, such as an issuer's failure to make timely payments of interest or principal, bankruptcy or restructuring. The terms of the instrument are generally negotiated by the Fund and the swap counterparty. A swap may be embedded within a structured note or other derivative instrument.

Generally, if the Fund buys credit protection using a credit default swap, the Fund will make fixed payments to the counterparty and if a credit event occurs, the Fund will deliver the defaulted bonds underlying the swap to the swap counterparty and the counterparty will pay the Fund par for the bonds. If the Fund sells credit protection using a credit default swap, generally the Fund will receive fixed payments from the counterparty and if a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay the swap counterparty par for the defaulted bonds underlying the swap and the swap counterparty will deliver the bonds to the Fund. If the credit default swap is on a basket of securities, the notional value of the swap is reduced by the par amount of the defaulted bonds, and the fixed payments are then made on the reduced notional value.

Credit default swaps are subject to credit risk on the underlying investment and to counterparty credit risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations the Fund may lose money. Credit default swaps are also subject to the risk that the Fund will not properly assess the cost of the underlying investment. If the Fund is selling credit protection, there is a risk that a credit event will occur and that the Fund will have to pay par value on defaulted bonds. If the Fund is buying credit protection, there is a risk that no credit event will occur and the Fund will receive no benefit for the premium paid.

Hedging. Hedging transactions are intended to reduce the risks of securities in the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, however, the hedge might be unsuccessful or could reduce the Fund's return or create a loss.

Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. For example, if a call option sold by the Fund were exercised on an investment that had increased in value above the call price, the Fund would be required to sell the investment at the call price and would not be able to realize any additional profit. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Manager expects it to. As a result, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose principal from the investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.  The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

 

DIVERSIFICATION AND CONCENTRATION.  The Fund is a diversified fund. It attempts to reduce its exposure to the risks of individual stocks by diversifying its investments across a broad number of different companies. The Fund will not concentrate more than 25% of its total assets in issuers in any one industry.  At times, however, the Fund may emphasize investments in some industries more than others.

Special Portfolio Diversification Requirements. To enable a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract based on an insurance company separate account to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, the underlying investments must follow special diversification requirements that limit the percentage of assets that can be invested in securities of particular issuers. The Fund's investment program is managed to meet those requirements, in addition to other diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that apply to publicly-sold mutual funds.

Failure by the Fund to meet those special requirements could cause earnings on a contract owner's interest in an insurance company separate account to be taxable income. Those diversification requirements might also limit, to some degree, the Fund's investment decisions in a way that could reduce its performance.


Other Equity Securities.
  In addition to common stocks, the Fund can invest in other equity or "equity equivalents" securities such as preferred stocks or convertible securities. Preferred stocks have a set dividend rate and rank ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. A convertible security is one that can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible securities offer the Fund the ability to participate in stock market movements while also seeking some current income. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. The Fund considers some convertible securities to be "equity equivalents" because they are convertible into common stock. The credit ratings of those convertible securities generally have less impact on the investment decision, although they are still subject to credit and interest rate risk.

Zero-Coupon and Stripped Securities. Some of the debt securities the Fund may invest in are "zero-coupon" or "stripped" securities. Zero-coupon securities pay no interest prior to their maturity date or another specified date in the future but are issued at a discount from their face value. Stripped securities are the separate income or principal components of a debt security, such as Treasury securities whose coupons have been stripped by a Federal Reserve Bank. One component might receive all the interest and the other all the principal payments.

Interest rate changes generally cause greater price fluctuations in zero-coupon securities or the "principal-only" components of stripped securities than in interest-paying securities of the same or similar maturities. The Fund may be required to pay a dividend of the imputed income on a zero-coupon or principal-only security at a time when it has not actually received the income. The "interest-only" components of stripped securities are also especially sensitive to changes in prevailing 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.

Participation Interests in Loans. These securities represent an undivided fractional interest in a loan obligation of a borrower. They are typically purchased from banks or dealers that have made the loan, or are members of the loan syndicate, and that act as the servicing agent for the interest. The loans may be to foreign or U.S. companies. Participation interests are subject to the credit risk of the servicing agent as well as the credit risk of the borrower. If a fund purchases a participation interest, it may be only able to enforce its rights through the lender. The Fund can also buy interests in trusts and other entities that hold loan obligations. In that case the Fund will be subject to the trust's credit risks as well as the credit risks of the underlying loans.

Not more than 5% of the Fund's net assets can be invested in participation interests of any one borrower.

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may also enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase transaction, the Fund buys a security and simultaneously sells it back to the vendor for delivery at a future date. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized. However, if the seller fails to pay the repurchase 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. If the default on the part of the seller is due to its bankruptcy, the Fund's ability to liquidate the collateral may be delayed or limited.

There is no limit on the amount of the Fund's net assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements of seven days or less.

Money Market Instruments. The Fund may also invest in "money market instruments." Money market instruments are short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated debt instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions, and other entities that meet the quality, maturity, diversification and other standards that apply to money market funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Money market instruments include bank obligations, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, and other corporate and governmental debt obligations. They may have fixed, variable or floating interest rates. Money market instruments generally do not generate capital appreciation if they are held to maturity.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as "illiquid" securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as "restricted securities." Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.

The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  The Manager monitors the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs") for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. The Fund's portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund's securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations.

The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

The Fund offers its shares to separate accounts of different insurance companies, as an investment for their variable annuity, variable life and other investment product contracts. While the Fund does not foresee any disadvantages to contract owners from these arrangements, it is possible that the interests of owners of different contracts participating in the Fund through different separate accounts might conflict. For example, a conflict could arise because of differences in tax treatment.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, rather than purchasing individual short-term investments, to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Fund cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments in which Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund invests or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund 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.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.

 

CHANGES TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares; however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. 

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 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 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary managed funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

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, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, and 0.60% of average annual net assets over $800 million. The Fund's management fee for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, was 0.73% of the Fund's average annual net assets for each class of shares.

Effective September 1, 2007 the Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses so that the total expenses of the Fund will not exceed 0.92% of average annual net assets for Service Shares and 0.67% of average annual net assets for Non-Service Shares. This voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement may be withdrawn at any time.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive the advisory fee by 0.08% of the Fund's average daily net assets through March 31, 2010. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be withdrawn at any time.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.

INVESTING IN THE FUND 

How to Buy and Sell Shares

You may only submit instructions for buying or selling shares of the Fund to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Information about your investment in the Fund can only be obtained from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Fund's Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records.

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund currently offers two 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 usually have different share prices. The Service Shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. The expenses of that plan are described below. The Non-Service Shares are not subject to a service and distribution plan.

 

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Fund shares are sold to participating insurance companies at their net asset value per share. The net asset value that applies to a purchase order is the next one calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. Fund shares are redeemed at the next net asset value calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. The Fund's Transfer Agent generally must receive the purchase or redemption order from the insurance company by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next regular business day.

 The Fund does not impose any sales charge on purchases of its shares. If there are any charges imposed under the variable annuity, variable life or other contract through which Fund shares are purchased, they are described in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company. The participating insurance company's prospectus may also include information regarding the time you must submit your purchase and redemption orders.

The sale and redemption price for Fund shares will change from day to day because the value of the securities in its portfolio and its expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for different classes of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.

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 (the "NYSE"), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

The Fund determines the net assets of each class of shares by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of the Fund's liabilities attributable to the share class from the market value of the Fund's securities and other assets attributable to the share class. The Fund's "other assets" might include, for example, cash and interest or dividends from its portfolio securities that have been accrued but not yet collected. The Fund's securities are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.

The net asset value per share for each share class is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.

Fair Value Pricing. If market quotations are not readily available or (in the Manager's judgment) do not accurately reflect the fair value of a security, or if after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board believes would more accurately reflect the security's fair value.

In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities. It seeks to identify significant events that it believes, in good faith, will affect the market prices of the securities held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's "Valuation Committee." Those determinations may include consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security, developments in the markets and their performance, and current valuations of foreign or U.S. indices. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.

  Pricing Foreign Securities. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges. Because many foreign markets close hours before the Fund, values its foreign portfolio holdings, significant events, including broad market movements, may occur during that time that could potentially affect the values of foreign securities held by the Fund.

The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

 

HOW CAN YOU BUY FUND SHARES? Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. Individual investors cannot buy shares of the Fund directly. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on how to select the Fund as an investment option. That prospectus will indicate which share class you may be eligible to purchase.

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

HOW CAN YOU REDEEM FUND SHARES? Only the participating insurance companies that hold Fund shares in their separate accounts can place orders to redeem shares. Contract holders and policy holders should not directly contact the Fund or its transfer agent to request a redemption of Fund shares. The Fund normally sends payment by Federal Funds wire to the insurance company's account on the next business day after the Fund receives the order (and no later than seven days after the Fund's receipt of the order). Under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. Contract owners should refer to the withdrawal or surrender instructions in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company.

 

Limitations on Frequent Transactions


 

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, may increase its transaction and administrative costs and may affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, and the aggregate dollar amount, the number and the frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in frequent redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading. If the Transfer Agent is not able to detect and curtail such activity, frequent trading could occur in the Fund.

Policies on Disruptive Activity

The Transfer Agent and the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, have entered into agreements with participating insurance companies designed to detect and restrict excessive short-term trading activity by contract or policy owners or their financial advisers in their accounts. The Transfer Agent generally does not consider periodic asset allocation or re-balancing that affects a portion of the Fund shares held in the account of a policy or contract owner to be "excessive trading." However, the Transfer Agent has advised participating insurance companies that it generally considers certain other types of trading activity to be "excessive," such as making a "transfer" out of the Fund within 30 days after buying Fund shares (by the sale of the recently purchased Fund shares and the purchase of shares of another fund) or making more than six "round-trip transfers" between funds during one year. The agreements require participating insurance companies to provide transaction information to the Fund and to execute Fund instructions to restrict trading in Fund shares.

 A participating insurance company may also have its own policies and procedures and may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term and/or excessive trading by its policy or contract owners. Those policies and procedures may be different from the Fund's in certain respects. You should refer to the prospectus for your insurance company variable annuity contract for specific information about the insurance company's policies. Under certain circumstances, policy or contract owners may be required to transmit purchase or redemption orders only by first class U.S. mail.

Monitoring the Policies. The Fund's policies and procedures for detecting and deterring frequent or excessive trading are administered by the Fund's Transfer Agent. However, the Transfer Agent presently does not have the ability to directly monitor trading activity in the accounts of policy or contract owners within the participating insurance companies' accounts. The Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in such insurance company accounts ultimately depends on the capability and diligence of each participating insurance company, under their agreements with the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Fund, in monitoring and controlling the trading activity of the policy or contract owners in the insurance company's accounts.

The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor the net effect on the Fund's assets from the purchase and redemption activity in the accounts of participating insurance companies and will seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the contract or policy owners who invest in the insurance company's accounts. If the Transfer Agent believes it has observed evidence of possible excessive trading activity, it will ask the participating insurance companies or other registered owners to provide information about the transaction activity of the contract or policy holders in their respective accounts, and to take appropriate action. In that case, the insurance company must confirm to the Transfer Agent that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the excessive trading activity.

The Transfer Agent will, subject to the limitations described in this section, limit or terminate the trading activity of any person, group or account that it believes would be excessive or disruptive. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect or curtail all such trading activity in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will evaluate trading activity on a case by case basis and the limitations placed on trading may vary between accounts.

Right to Refuse Purchase Orders. The Fund's Distributor or Transfer Agent may, in their discretion, refuse any purchase order and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

  

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS


Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares to pay the Distributor for distribution related services, personal services and account maintenance for those shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund's Service Shares. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time they will increase the operating expenses of the Service Shares and may cost you more than other types of fees or sales charges. As a result, the Service Shares may have lower performance compared to the Fund's shares that are not subject to a service fee.

     Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product for providing personal services and account maintenance for variable contract owners that hold Service Shares.

 

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to those firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include securities brokers, dealers or financial advisers, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

       Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends annually from any net investment income. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. Because of the higher expenses on Service Shares, the dividends and capital gains distributions paid on those shares will generally be lower than for other Fund shares.

Receiving Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares for the account of the participating insurance company, unless the insurance company elects to have dividends or distributions paid in cash.

 

TAXES. For a discussion of the tax status of a variable annuity contract, a variable life insurance policy or other investment product of a participating insurance company, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of your participating insurance company. Because shares of the Fund may be purchased only through insurance company separate accounts for variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other investment products, any dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term and long-term capital gains will be taxable, if at all, to the participating insurance company. Those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts, however.

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing in securities of well-known, established companies.

THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.

What are "Growth Companies"? Companies whose earnings and stock prices are expected to increase at a faster rate than the overall market are considered "growth companies."

The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of "growth companies." These may be newer companies or established companies of any capitalization range that the portfolio manager believes may appreciate in value over the long term.
The Fund focuses on domestic securities but may purchase foreign securities as well.
HOW THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER DECIDES WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL. In selecting securities to buy or sell the portfolio manager looks for growth companies with stock prices that he believes are reasonable in relation to overall stock market valuations. In seeking broad diversification of the Fund's portfolio among industries and market sectors, the portfolio manager focuses on a number of factors that may vary in particular cases and over time. Currently, the portfolio manager looks for:

  • companies in business areas that have above-average growth potential,
  • companies with growth rates that the portfolio manager believes are sustainable over time,
  • stocks with reasonable valuations relative to their growth potential.

The Fund may sell the stocks of companies that the portfolio manager believes no longer meet the above criteria.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund's shares are available only as an investment option under certain variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies and investment plans offered through insurance company separate accounts of participating insurance companies, for investors seeking capital appreciation in their investment over the long term, from investments in common stocks of well-known companies. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund focusing on stocks. Because of its focus on long-term growth, the Fund may be more appropriate for investors with longer-term investment goals. The Fund is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have some degree of risk. The value of the Fund's shares fluctuates as the value of the Fund's investments changes, and may decline. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or from more specific factors like those described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCK. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant volatility and may fall sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.

A variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company's stock and the prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time. These factors may include: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular industry or sector. To the extent that the Fund increases its emphasis on stocks in a particular industry, the value of its investments may fluctuate more in response to events affecting that industry, such as changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry more than others.

Because the Fund currently invests primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies, the value of the Fund's portfolio will mainly be affected by changes in the U.S. stock markets.

 

RISKS OF GROWTH INVESTING. If a growth company's earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time. Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price. Growth stocks may also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.

 

RISKS OF SMALL- AND MID-SIZED COMPANIES. Small- and mid-sized companies may be either established or newer companies, including "unseasoned" companies that have been in operation for less than three years. While smaller companies might offer greater opportunities for gain than larger companies, they also involve greater risk of loss. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company's earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies' securities often trade in lower volumes and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Small- and mid-sized companies may not have established markets for their products or services and may have fewer customers and product lines. They may have more limited access to financial resources and may not have the financial strength to sustain them through business downturns or adverse market conditions. Since small- and mid-sized companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. Smaller companies may have unseasoned management or less depth in management skill than larger, more established companies. They may be more reliant on the efforts of particular members of their management team and management changes may pose a greater risk to the success of the business. Securities of small, unseasoned companies may be particularly volatile, especially in the short term, and may have very limited liquidity. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-sized company, if any gain is realized at all.

 

                     _______________________________

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Growth stocks may be more volatile than other equity investments. The Fund generally does not use income-oriented investments to help cushion the Fund's total return from changes in stock prices. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is generally more aggressive than funds that invest in both stocks and bonds or in investment-grade debt securities.

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. The bar chart shows the yearly performance of the Fund's Non-Service Shares for the last 10 calendar years.


Charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart and if those charges were included, the returns may be less than those shown. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 28.49% (4th qtr 99) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -27.73% (4th qtr 08).

The following table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Fund's shares before taxes compared to two broad-based market indices. Because the Fund's Service Shares are subject to a service fee, their performance is expected to be lower than the performance of Non-Service Shares for any given period. The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Average Annual Total Returns for the periods ended December 31, 2008 1 Year 5 Years
(or life of
class, if less)
10 Years
(or life of
class, if less)
Non-Service Shares (inception 4-3-85) (45.52%) (5.48%) (1.13%)
Service Shares (inception 9-18-01) (45.66%) (5.72%) (2.69%)
S&P 500 Index (36.99%) (2.19%) (1.38%)1
(reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes) (0.09%)2
Russell 1000® Growth Index (38.44%) (3.42%) (4.27%)1
(reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes) (1.37%)2

1. Ten Years.
2. From 09-30-01.

The average annual total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account, without deducting charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market, and the Russell 1000® Growth Index, an unmanaged index of 1,000 U.S. large-cap growth stocks. The index performance includes income reinvestment but does not reflect any transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes.

 

The Fund's total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, even if both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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. Shareholders pay certain expenses directly, such as sales charges. The Fund pays other expenses for management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay those expenses indirectly.

The numbers in the Table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, but have been restated to reflect the transfer agent fee changes described below as if those changes had been in effect during that entire fiscal year. Expenses may vary in future years.


Shareholder Fees.
The Fund does not charge an initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends. There are no redemption fees and no contingent deferred sales charges. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on initial or contingent deferred sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees for that variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product. Those charges and fees are not reflected in the tables below.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (deducted from Fund assets): (% of average daily net assets)
Non-Service Shares Service Shares
Management Fees 0.65% 0.65%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees n/a 0.25%
Other Expenses1 0.11% 0.11%
Total Annual Operating Expenses2 0.76% 1.01%

1.  "Other Expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and audit and legal expenses that the Fund pays. Effective May 1, 2009, the Fund's transfer agent fee structure has changed. The "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" per the above table reflect the estimated annual effect of these contractual changes. Prior to May 1, 2009, the Transfer Agent had voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. For the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the transfer agent fees did not exceed that expense limitation. The actual "Other Expenses" as a percentage of the average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were 0.01% for both Non-Service and Service shares. The Fund also receives certain credits from the Fund's custodian that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reduced its custodial expenses for all share classes by less than 0.01% of average daily net assets.
2.  Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares.  This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders. During the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the actual "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets were 0.66% for Non-Service shares and 0.91% for Service shares. It is estimated that after giving effect to all of the current fees structures, waivers and credits, the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets would have been 0.76% for Non-Service shares and 1.01% for Service shares during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes 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 expenses for your variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product are not included and if they were included, overall expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Fund's expenses will vary over time and your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeemed your shares:

1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Service Shares $104 $323 $561 $1,242
Non-Service Shares $78 $244 $424 $946

In evaluating the Fund's expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets and issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer investment benefits to individuals without the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund's overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund's shareholders.

About the Fund's Investments

The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and 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 FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS.  The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

 

INVESTING IN GROWTH COMPANIES. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. Growth companies can be new companies or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business. Their anticipated growth may come from developing new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Although newer growth companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Current examples include companies in the fields of telecommunications, computer software, and new consumer products.


COMMON STOCK.  Common stock represents an ownership interest in a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than exchange-traded securities.

Growth stocks may be less liquid and more volatile than other stock investments. They may lose value if the company's business plans do not produce the expected results, or if growth investing falls out of favor with investors. Growth stocks may also be more volatile because of investor speculation.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.  The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

Risks of Foreign Investing. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements as U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. A change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency and of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and economic factors.

     Time-Zone Arbitrage. The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that are traded in U.S. or foreign markets. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in securities traded in foreign markets, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Fund and the Board believe to be their fair value, may help deter those activities.


Other Equity Securities.
  In addition to common stocks, the Fund can invest in other equity or "equity equivalents" securities such as preferred stocks or convertible securities. Preferred stocks have a set dividend rate and rank ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. A convertible security is one that can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible securities offer the Fund the ability to participate in stock market movements while also seeking some current income. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. The Fund considers some convertible securities to be "equity equivalents" because they are convertible into common stock. The credit ratings of those convertible securities generally have less impact on the investment decision, although they are still subject to credit and interest rate risk.

Cyclical Opportunities. At times, the Fund might seek to take advantage of short-term market movements or changes in the business cycle by investing in companies or industries that are sensitive to those changes. For example, when the economy is expanding, companies in consumer durables and the technology sector might benefit. There is a risk that if a cyclical event does not have the anticipated effect, or when the issuer or industry is out of phase in the business cycle, the value of the Fund's investment could fall.


Special Portfolio Diversification Requirements.
To enable a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract based on an insurance company separate account to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, the underlying investments must follow special diversification requirements that limit the percentage of assets that can be invested in securities of particular issuers. The Fund's investment program is managed to meet those requirements, in addition to other diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that apply to publicly-sold mutual funds.

Failure by the Fund to meet those special requirements could cause earnings on a contract owner's interest in an insurance company separate account to be taxable income. Those diversification requirements might also limit, to some degree, the Fund's investment decisions in a way that could reduce its performance.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different types of "derivative" investments. A derivative is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks.

The Fund may use derivatives to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.

       Options, futures, options on futures, swaps and forward contracts are some of the derivatives that the Fund may use. The Fund may also use other types of derivatives that are consistent with its investment strategies or hedging purposes.

The Fund has percentage limits on its use of hedging instruments and is not required to use hedging instruments in seeking its objective.

Hedging. Hedging transactions are intended to reduce the risks of securities in the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, however, the hedge might be unsuccessful or could reduce the Fund's return or create a loss.

Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Fund expects it to. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. The Fund may also lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer fails to pay the amount due.

Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as "illiquid" securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as "restricted securities." Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.

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%. The Manager monitors the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs") for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. The Fund's portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund's securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations.

The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

The Fund offers its shares to separate accounts of different insurance companies, as an investment for their variable annuity, variable life and other investment product contracts. While the Fund does not foresee any disadvantages to contract owners from these arrangements, it is possible that the interests of owners of different contracts participating in the Fund through different separate accounts might conflict. For example, a conflict could arise because of differences in tax treatment.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, rather than purchasing individual short-term investments, to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Fund cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

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. To some extent that risk may be limited by the Fund's policy of not concentrating 25% or more of its total assets in investments in any one industry or group of industries.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments in which Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund invests or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund 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.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.

 

CHANGES TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares; however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. 

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 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 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary managed funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

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, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, and 0.60% of average annual net assets over $800 million. The Fund's management fee for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, was 0.65% of the Fund's average annual net assets for each class of shares.

Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Portfolio Manager. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Marc L. Baylin, CFA, who is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. Mr. Baylin has been a Vice President and portfolio manager of the Fund since October 2005.

Mr. Baylin has been a Vice President of the Manager and a member of the Manager's Growth Equity Investment Team since September 2005. He was Managing Director and Lead Portfolio Manager at JP Morgan Fleming Investment Management from June 2002 to August 2005 and was a Vice President of T. Rowe Price, where he was an investment analyst from June 1993 and a portfolio manager from March 1999 to June 2002. Mr. Baylin is a portfolio manager and officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio manager's compensation, other accounts he manages and his ownership of Fund shares.

INVESTING IN THE FUND 

How to Buy and Sell Shares

You may only submit instructions for buying or selling shares of the Fund to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Information about your investment in the Fund can only be obtained from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Fund's Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records.

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund currently offers two 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 usually have different share prices. The Service Shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. The expenses of that plan are described below. The Non-Service Shares are not subject to a service and distribution plan.

 

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Fund shares are sold to participating insurance companies at their net asset value per share. The net asset value that applies to a purchase order is the next one calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. Fund shares are redeemed at the next net asset value calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. The Fund's Transfer Agent generally must receive the purchase or redemption order from the insurance company by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next regular business day.

 The Fund does not impose any sales charge on purchases of its shares. If there are any charges imposed under the variable annuity, variable life or other contract through which Fund shares are purchased, they are described in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company. The participating insurance company's prospectus may also include information regarding the time you must submit your purchase and redemption orders.

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 (the "NYSE"), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

The Fund determines the net assets of each class of shares by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of the Fund's liabilities attributable to the share class from the market value of the Fund's securities and other assets attributable to the share class. The Fund's "other assets" might include, for example, cash and interest or dividends from its portfolio securities that have been accrued but not yet collected. The Fund's securities are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.

The net asset value per share for each share class is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.

Fair Value Pricing. If market quotations are not readily available or (in the Manager's judgment) do not accurately reflect the fair value of a security, or if after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board believes would more accurately reflect the security's fair value.

In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities. It seeks to identify significant events that it believes, in good faith, will affect the market prices of the securities held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's "Valuation Committee." Those determinations may include consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security, developments in the markets and their performance, and current valuations of foreign or U.S. indices. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.

  Pricing Foreign Securities. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges. Because many foreign markets close hours before the Fund, values its foreign portfolio holdings, significant events, including broad market movements, may occur during that time that could potentially affect the values of foreign securities held by the Fund.

The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

 

HOW CAN YOU BUY FUND SHARES? Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. Individual investors cannot buy shares of the Fund directly. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on how to select the Fund as an investment option. That prospectus will indicate which share class you may be eligible to purchase.

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

HOW CAN YOU REDEEM FUND SHARES? Only the participating insurance companies that hold Fund shares in their separate accounts can place orders to redeem shares. Contract holders and policy holders should not directly contact the Fund or its transfer agent to request a redemption of Fund shares. The Fund normally sends payment by Federal Funds wire to the insurance company's account on the next business day after the Fund receives the order (and no later than seven days after the Fund's receipt of the order). Under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. Contract owners should refer to the withdrawal or surrender instructions in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company.

 

Limitations on Frequent Transactions


Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, may increase its transaction and administrative costs and may affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, and the aggregate dollar amount, the number and the frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in frequent redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading. If the Transfer Agent is not able to detect and curtail such activity, frequent trading could occur in the Fund.

Policies on Disruptive Activity

The Transfer Agent and the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, have entered into agreements with participating insurance companies designed to detect and restrict excessive short-term trading activity by contract or policy owners or their financial advisers in their accounts. The Transfer Agent generally does not consider periodic asset allocation or re-balancing that affects a portion of the Fund shares held in the account of a policy or contract owner to be "excessive trading." However, the Transfer Agent has advised participating insurance companies that it generally considers certain other types of trading activity to be "excessive," such as making a "transfer" out of the Fund within 30 days after buying Fund shares (by the sale of the recently purchased Fund shares and the purchase of shares of another fund) or making more than six "round-trip transfers" between funds during one year. The agreements require participating insurance companies to provide transaction information to the Fund and to execute Fund instructions to restrict trading in Fund shares.

 A participating insurance company may also have its own policies and procedures and may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term and/or excessive trading by its policy or contract owners. Those policies and procedures may be different from the Fund's in certain respects. You should refer to the prospectus for your insurance company variable annuity contract for specific information about the insurance company's policies. Under certain circumstances, policy or contract owners may be required to transmit purchase or redemption orders only by first class U.S. mail.

Monitoring the Policies. The Fund's policies and procedures for detecting and deterring frequent or excessive trading are administered by the Fund's Transfer Agent. However, the Transfer Agent presently does not have the ability to directly monitor trading activity in the accounts of policy or contract owners within the participating insurance companies' accounts. The Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in such insurance company accounts ultimately depends on the capability and diligence of each participating insurance company, under their agreements with the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Fund, in monitoring and controlling the trading activity of the policy or contract owners in the insurance company's accounts.

The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor the net effect on the Fund's assets from the purchase and redemption activity in the accounts of participating insurance companies and will seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the contract or policy owners who invest in the insurance company's accounts. If the Transfer Agent believes it has observed evidence of possible excessive trading activity, it will ask the participating insurance companies or other registered owners to provide information about the transaction activity of the contract or policy holders in their respective accounts, and to take appropriate action. In that case, the insurance company must confirm to the Transfer Agent that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the excessive trading activity.

The Transfer Agent will, subject to the limitations described in this section, limit or terminate the trading activity of any person, group or account that it believes would be excessive or disruptive. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect or curtail all such trading activity in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will evaluate trading activity on a case by case basis and the limitations placed on trading may vary between accounts.

Right to Refuse Purchase Orders. The Fund's Distributor or Transfer Agent may, in their discretion, refuse any purchase order and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

  

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS


Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares to pay the Distributor for distribution related services, personal services and account maintenance for those shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund's Service Shares. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time they will increase the operating expenses of the Service Shares and may cost you more than other types of fees or sales charges. As a result, the Service Shares may have lower performance compared to the Fund's shares that are not subject to a service fee.

     Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product for providing personal services and account maintenance for variable contract owners that hold Service Shares.

 

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to those firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include securities brokers, dealers or financial advisers, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

       Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends annually from any net investment income. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. Because of the higher expenses on Service Shares, the dividends and capital gains distributions paid on those shares will generally be lower than for other Fund shares.

Receiving Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares for the account of the participating insurance company, unless the insurance company elects to have dividends or distributions paid in cash.

 

TAXES. For a discussion of the tax status of a variable annuity contract, a variable life insurance policy or other investment product of a participating insurance company, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of your participating insurance company. Because shares of the Fund may be purchased only through insurance company separate accounts for variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other investment products, any dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term and long-term capital gains will be taxable, if at all, to the participating insurance company. Those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts, however.

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund's main objective is to seek a high level of current income. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks capital appreciation when consistent with its primary objective.

 

THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in investment grade debt securities. Those securities, generally referred to as "bonds," can include:

  • Domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations.
  • Domestic and foreign government bonds, including U.S. government securities
  • Mortgage-related securities
  • Asset-backed securities, and
  • Other debt obligations.

The Fund's investments in U.S. Government securities

What is a Debt Security? A debt security is a security representing money borrowed by the issuer that must be repaid, specifying the amount of principal, the interest or discount rate, and the time or times at which payments are due.

may include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or by its agencies or federally-chartered entities referred to as "instrumentalities." These include mortgage-related U.S. Government securities. There is no set allocation of the Fund's assets among the classes of securities, but it focuses mainly on U.S. government securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities. The Fund can also invest in money market instruments and other debt obligations. If market conditions change, the portfolio managers might change the Fund's relative asset allocation.

The Fund will attempt to maintain the overall weighted average credit quality of the portfolio equivalent to a rating of "A-" or higher from any nationally recognized credit rating organization. However, the Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in high-yield debt securities that are below investment-grade (commonly referred to as "junk bonds").

The Fund has no limitations on the range of maturities of the debt securities in which it can invest and therefore may hold bonds with short-, medium- or long-term maturities. To try to decrease volatility, the Fund seeks to maintain an average effective portfolio duration of three to six years, measured on a dollar-weighted basis. Because of market events and interest rate changes, the duration of the portfolio might not meet that target at all times.

The Fund may invest in foreign debt securities, including securities issued by foreign governments or companies in both developed markets and emerging markets.

The Fund may also use derivatives to seek increased returns or to try to manage investment risks. Options, futures, swaps, interest-only and principal-only securities, "structured" notes, asset-backed securities and certain mortgage-related securities are examples of the types of derivatives the Fund can use.

 

HOW DO THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In selecting securities, the Fund's portfolio managers analyze the overall investment opportunities and risks in different sectors of the debt securities markets by focusing on business cycle analysis and relative values between the corporate and government sectors. Generally, the Fund seeks "total return," which consists of income earned on the Fund's investments, plus capital appreciation, if any, which generally arises from decreases in interest rates, improving credit fundamentals for a particular sector or security, and managing pre-payment risks associated with mortgage-related securities, as well as other techniques. The portfolio managers' overall strategy is to build a diversified portfolio of corporate and government bonds. The portfolio managers currently focus on the following factors, which may vary in particular cases and may change over time:

  • Debt securities in market sectors that the Fund believes offer attractive relative value; and
  • Broad portfolio diversification to seek to reduce volatility.

The portfolio managers monitor individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security.

 

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund's shares are available only as an investment option under certain variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies and investment plans offered through insurance company separate accounts of participating insurance companies. The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking total return from a fund that invests mainly in investment-grade debt securities but which can also hold high-yield, below investment-grade securities. Those investors should be willing to assume the credit risks of a fund that typically invests a significant amount of its assets in corporate-debt securities, and the changes in debt securities prices that can occur when interest rates change. The Fund is intended to be a long-term investment, not a short-term trading vehicle. It may be appropriate for investors with longer term investment goals. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have some degree of risk. The value of the Fund's shares fluctuates as the value of the Fund's investments changes, and may decline. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or from more specific factors like those described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

MAIN RISKS OF INVESTING IN DEBT SECURITIES. Debt securities (also referred to as "fixed-income securities") may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk and extension 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 an issuer fails to pay interest or to repay principal, the Fund's income and share value will usually be reduced. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. The values of debt securities are also subject to change when prevailing interest rates change. When prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. When prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may sell at a discount from their face amount or from the amount the Fund paid for them. Interest rate changes generally have a greater effect on longer-term debt securities than on shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, the issuers of debt securities may prepay principal more quickly than expected and the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as "prepayment risk." When interest rates rise, debt securities may be repaid more slowly than expected and the value of the Fund's holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as "extension risk." Interest rate changes may have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates.

     Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower-grade debt securities, whether rated or unrated, have greater credit risks than investment-grade securities. They may be subject to greater price fluctuations and have a greater risk that the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due. The market for lower-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore they may be harder to value or to sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.

Because the Fund can invest up to 20% of its assets in lower-grade securities, the Fund's credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities.

 

FIXED-INCOME MARKET RISKS. Recent developments relating to subprime mortgages have adversely affected fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. The values of many types of debt securities have been reduced, including debt securities that are not related to mortgage loans. These developments have reduced the willingness of some lenders to extend credit and have made it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms or at all. In addition, broker-dealers and other market participants have been less willing to make a market in some types of debt instruments, which has impacted the liquidity of those instruments. These developments may also have a negative effect on the broader economy. There is a risk that the lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund's ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.

 

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. A change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency and of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, or other political and economic factors.

     Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. Developing or emerging market countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges. Securities of companies in developing or emerging market countries may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and their prices may be more volatile than securities of companies in countries with more mature markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the proceeds of a sale of a security may not be received on a timely basis. The economies of developing or emerging market countries may be more dependent on relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Developing or emerging market countries may have less developed legal and accounting systems, and investments in those countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of company assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Their governments may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. The value of the currency of a developing or emerging market country may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in companies in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

     Time-Zone Arbitrage. The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that are traded in U.S. or foreign markets. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in securities traded in foreign markets, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Fund and the Board believe to be their fair value, may help deter those activities.

 

RISKS OF DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Fund expects it to. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. The Fund may also lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer fails to pay the amount due. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.

            _________________________________________

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Debt securities are subject to credit and interest rate risks that can affect their values and the share prices of the Fund. The values of high-yield debt securities can fluctuate substantially because of interest rate changes and perceptions about the high-yield market among investors. Foreign debt securities can be volatile, particularly in emerging markets, and the price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The Fund is likely to be more volatile and have more risks than funds that focus on U.S. government securities.

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. The bar chart shows the yearly performance of the Fund's Non-Service shares for the last 10 calendar years.


Charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart and if those charges were included, the returns may be less than those shown. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 4.74% (3rd qtr 02) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -29.59% (4th qtr 08). For the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 the cumulative return before taxes was -39.05%.

The following table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Fund's shares before taxes compared to two broad-based market indices. Because the Fund's Service Shares are subject to a service fee, their performance is expected to be lower than the performance of Non-Service Shares for any given period. The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

1.  From 4-30-02

The average annual total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account, without deducting charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade ("BIG") Index, an index of institutionally traded U.S. Treasury Bonds, government-sponsored bonds, mortgage-backed securities and corporate securities; the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index (formerly known as the "Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index"), a broad-based index of government agencies and corporate debt, and the Barclays Capital Credit Index (formerly known as the "Lehman Brothers Credit Index"), an index of non-convertible U.S. investment grade corporate bonds. The indices' performance includes income reinvestment but does not reflect any transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund's performance reflects the effects of the Fund's business and operating expenses.

The Fund's total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, even if both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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. Shareholders pay certain expenses directly, such as sales charges. The Fund pays other expenses for management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay those expenses indirectly.

The numbers in the Table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, but have been restated to reflect the transfer agent fee changes described below as if those changes had been in effect during that entire fiscal year. Expenses may vary in future years.


Shareholder Fees.
The Fund does not charge an initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends. There are no redemption fees and no contingent deferred sales charges. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on initial or contingent deferred sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees for that variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product. Those charges and fees are not reflected in the tables below.

1. Effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive its advisory fee by 0.18% of the Fund's average daily net assets. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and may be withdrawn at any time.
2. "Other Expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays. Effective May 1, 2009 the Fund's transfer agent fee structure has changed. The "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" per the above table reflect the estimated annual effect of these contractual changes. Prior to May1, 2009, the Transfer Agent had voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. For the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the transfer agent fees did not exceed that expense limitation. The actual "Other Expenses" as a percentage of the average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.03% for both Non-Service and Service shares. The Fund also receives certain credits from the Fund's custodian that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reduced its custodial expenses for all share classes by less than 0.01% of average daily net assets.
3. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager voluntarily reimbursed expenses of $21,750 related to the acquisition of Oppenheimer Government Securities Portfolio. After that reimbursement and all of the waivers and credits in effect during that period, the actual "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were 0.62% for the Non-Service Shares and 0.87% for the Service Shares. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service shares and 1.00% for Service shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders. It is estimated that after giving effect to all of the current fee structures, waivers and credits, the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets would have been 0.55% for Non-Service Shares and 0.79% for Service Shares during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes 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 expenses for your variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product are not included and if they were included, overall expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Fund's expenses will vary over time and your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeemed your shares:

  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Non-Service Shares $75 $234 $407 $910
Service Shares $99 $310 $539 $1,195

In evaluating the Fund's expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets and issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer investment benefits to individuals without the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund's overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund's shareholders.

About the Fund's Investments

The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and 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 FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS.  The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

 

DEBT SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in debt securities, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or its agencies and instrumentalities, or foreign sovereigns, and foreign and domestic corporate bonds, notes and debentures. The Fund may select debt securities for their income possibilities or to help cushion fluctuations in the value of its portfolio.

Debt securities may be subject to the following risks:

  • Interest Rate Risk. The values of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the Fund's investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund's income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change.
  • Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. That is the risk that when interest rates fall, borrowers will prepay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the security's expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium, accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause it to lose a portion of its principal investment represented by the premium. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the security's price volatility. Interest-only and principal-only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and prepayment assumptions about those investments.
  • Extension Risk. If interest rates rise rapidly, repayments of principal on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected and the expected maturity of those securities could lengthen as a result. Those securities generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their value to fall sharply.
  • Credit Risk. Debt securities are also 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. Securities directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and certain agencies that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government have little credit risk, and other U.S. Government securities generally have lower credit risks, while securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments generally have greater credit risks. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the values of the security might fall. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news about an issuer can reduce the market value of that issuer's securities.

Credit Quality.  The Fund may invest in securities that are rated or unrated. "Investment grade" securities are rated in one of the top four rating categories by nationally-recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. "Lower grade" securities are those that are rated below those categories. While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by S&P are considered "investment grade," they may also have some speculative characteristics. 

        Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Rating agencies might not always change their credit rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer's ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business and economic factors affecting issuers as well. The ratings definitions of the principal ratings organizations are included in Appendix B to the Statement of Additional Information.

The Fund invests primarily in investment-grade debt securities but it is not required to dispose of debt securities that fall below investment grade after the Fund buys them.

U.S. Government Securities. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities. Some of those securities are directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. "Full faith and credit" means that the taxing power of the U.S. Government is pledged to the payment of interest and repayment of principal on a security.

Some securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, such as Government National Mortgage Corporation pass-through mortgage obligations ("Ginnie Maes"), are also backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Others are supported by the right of the agency to borrow an amount from the U.S. Government (for example, "Fannie Mae" bonds issued by Federal National Mortgage Corporation and "Freddie Mac" obligations issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). Others are supported only by the credit of the agency (for example obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks). On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, a new independent regulatory agency, placed the Federal National Mortgage Corporation and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation into conservatorship and the U.S. Department of Treasury made a commitment to purchase mortgage-backed securities from the companies through December 2009. The U.S. Department of Treasury also entered into a new secured lending credit facility with those companies and a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. Under those agreements, the Treasury will ensure that each company maintains a positive net worth. 

     U.S. Treasury Securities. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States for payment of interest and repayment of principal and have little credit risk. Some of the securities that are issued directly by the U.S. Treasury are: Treasury bills (having maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (having maturities of from one to ten years when issued), Treasury bonds (having maturities of more than ten years when issued) and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities ("TIPS"). While U.S. Treasury securities have little credit risk, they are subject to price fluctuations from changes in interest rates prior to their maturity.

     Mortgage-Related Government Securities. The Fund can buy interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages, in the form of "pass-through" mortgage securities. They may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or its agencies and instrumentalities. Mortgage-related U.S. Government securities may be issued in different series, each having different interest rates and maturities.

Mortgage-related securities that are U.S. Government securities have collateral to secure payment of interest and principal. The collateral is either in the form of mortgage pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency or instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a U.S. Government agency. The prices and yields of mortgage-related securities are determined, in part, by assumptions about the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages and are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Private-Issuer Securities. The Fund can also invest in securities issued by private issuers, such as banks, savings and loans, and other entities, including mortgage-related securities. Securities issued by private issuers are subject to greater credit risks than U.S. Government securities.

     Mortgage-Related Private Issuer Securities. Primarily these investments include multi-class debt or pass-through certificates secured by mortgage loans, which may be issued by banks, savings and loans, mortgage bankers and other non-governmental issuers.  Private-issuer mortgage-backed securities may include loans on residential or commercial properties.

Mortgage-related securities issued by private issuers are not U.S. Government securities, which makes them subject to greater credit risks. Private issuer securities are subject to the credit risks of the issuers as well as to interest rate risks, although in some cases they may be supported by insurance or guarantees. The prices and yields of private issuer mortgage-related securities are also subject to prepayment and extension risk. The market for private-issuer mortgage-backed securities may be volatile at times and may be less liquid than the markets for other types of securities.

 

DURATION. 

What is "Duration"? Duration is a measure of the expected price volatility of a debt security or portfolio. "Effective duration" means the expected percentage change in the value of a bond or portfolio resulting from a change in prevailing interest rates (measured by a 1% change in U.S. Treasury security rates). Duration and interest rates are inversely related. For example, if a bond has an effective duration of three years, a 1% increase in general interest rates would be expected to cause the bond's value to decline about 3%.

As a principal investment strategy, the Fund expects that under normal market conditions it will maintain an average effective portfolio duration of not more than three years. While the Fund seeks to maintain an average effective portfolio duration of not more than three years, the average maturity of the Fund's portfolio can differ from its duration target, and the Fund can hold securities having long, medium and short maturities.
The "maturity" of a security (the date when its principal repayment is due) differs from effective duration, which attempts to measure the expected volatility of a security's price. The Fund measures the duration of its entire portfolio of securities on a dollar-weighted basis, to try to maintain an average effective duration of its portfolio of three to six years, under normal market conditions (that is, when financial markets are not in an unstable or volatile state). However, duration cannot be relied on as an exact prediction of future volatility. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its targeted portfolio duration at all times.
Duration calculations rely on a number of assumptions and variables based on the historic performance of similar securities. Therefore, duration can be affected by unexpected economic events or conditions relating to a particular security. In the case of mortgage-related securities, duration calculations are based on historic rates of prepayments of underlying mortgages. If the mortgages underlying the Fund's investments are prepaid more rapidly or more slowly than expected, the duration calculation for that security may not be correct.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different types of "derivative" investments. A derivative is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks.

The Fund may use derivatives to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.

Options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, zero-coupon and stripped securities, "structured" notes, asset-backed securities and certain mortgage-related securities are some of the types of derivatives the Fund can use. The Fund may also use other types of derivatives that are consistent with its investment strategies or for hedging purposes.

     Credit Default Swaps. A credit default swap enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a credit event, such as an issuer's failure to make timely payments of interest or principal, bankruptcy or restructuring. The terms of the instrument are generally negotiated by the Fund and the swap counterparty. A swap may be embedded within a structured note or other derivative instrument.

Generally, if the Fund buys credit protection using a credit default swap, the Fund will make fixed payments to the counterparty and if a credit event occurs, the Fund will deliver the defaulted bonds underlying the swap to the swap counterparty and the counterparty will pay the Fund par for the bonds. If the Fund sells credit protection using a credit default swap, generally the Fund will receive fixed payments from the counterparty and if a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay the swap counterparty par for the defaulted bonds underlying the swap and the swap counterparty will deliver the bonds to the Fund. If the credit default swap is on a basket of securities, the notional value of the swap is reduced by the par amount of the defaulted bonds, and the fixed payments are then made on the reduced notional value.

Credit default swaps are subject to credit risk on the underlying investment and to counterparty credit risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations the Fund may lose money. Credit default swaps are also subject to the risk that the Fund will not properly assess the cost of the underlying investment. If the Fund is selling credit protection, there is a risk that a credit event will occur and that the Fund will have to pay par value on defaulted bonds. If the Fund is buying credit protection, there is a risk that no credit event will occur and the Fund will receive no benefit for the premium paid.

     Total Return Swaps. In a total return swap transaction, one party agrees to pay the other party an amount equal to the total return on a defined underlying asset or a non-asset reference during a specified period of time. The underlying asset might be a security or basket of securities or a non-asset reference might be a securities index. In return, the other party would make periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or on the total return from a different underlying asset or non-asset reference.

Total return swaps could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Total return swaps can have the potential for unlimited losses. They are also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money.

     Swap Transactions. There is no central exchange or market for swap transactions and therefore they are less liquid than exchange-traded instruments. If the Fund were to sell a swap it owned to a third party, the Fund would still remain primarily liable for the obligations under the swap contract.

      "Structured" Notes. "Structured" notes are specially-designed derivative debt investments. The terms of the instrument may be "structured" by the purchaser and the issuer of the note. Payments of principal or interest on these notes may be linked to the value of an index (such as a currency or securities index), an individual security, or a commodity. The value of these notes will normally rise or fall in response to the changes in the performance of the underlying security, index or commodity.

Structured notes are subject to interest rate risk and are also subject to credit risk with respect both to the borrower (referred to as "counter-party" risk) and to the issuer of the underlying investment. If the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated, the Fund might receive less interest than the stated coupon payment or repay less principal upon maturity. The price of structured notes may be very volatile and they may have a limited trading market, making it difficult for the Fund to value them or sell them at an acceptable price.

     Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are fractional interests in pools of loans, other assets or receivables. They are issued by trusts or other special purpose vehicles and are collateralized by the loans, other assets or receivables that make up the pool. The trust or other issuer passes the income from the underlying pool to the investor. Neither the Fund nor the Manager selects the loans or other assets that are included in the pools or the collateral backing those pools. Asset-backed securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Certain asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Hedging. Hedging transactions are intended to reduce the risks of securities in the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, however, the hedge might be unsuccessful or could reduce the Fund's return or create a loss.

The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.

Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Fund expects it to. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. The Fund may also lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer fails to pay the amount due.

Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.  The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

Diversification and Concentration. The Fund is a diversified fund. It attempts to reduce its exposure to the risks of individual stocks by diversifying its investments across a broad number of different companies. The Fund will not concentrate more than 25% of its total assets in issuers in any one industry. At times, however, the Fund may emphasize investments in some industries more than others.

Special Portfolio Diversification Requirements. To enable a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract based on an insurance company separate account to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, the underlying investments must follow special diversification requirements that limit the percentage of assets that can be invested in securities of particular issuers. The Fund's investment program is managed to meet those requirements, in addition to other diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that apply to publicly-sold mutual funds.

Failure by the Fund to meet those special requirements could cause earnings on a contract owner's interest in an insurance company separate account to be taxable income. Those diversification requirements might also limit, to some degree, the Fund's investment decisions in a way that could reduce its performance.

Forward Rolls. The Fund can enter into "forward roll" transactions (also referred to as "mortgage dollar rolls") with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund will bear the risk that the market value of the securities might decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase them or that the counterparty might default in its obligations.

Zero-Coupon and Stripped Securities. Some of the debt securities the Fund may invest in are "zero-coupon" or "stripped" securities. Zero-coupon securities pay no interest prior to their maturity date or another specified date in the future but are issued at a discount from their face value. Stripped securities are the separate income or principal components of a debt security, such as Treasury securities whose coupons have been stripped by a Federal Reserve Bank. One component might receive all the interest and the other all the principal payments.

Interest rate changes generally cause greater price fluctuations in zero-coupon securities or the "principal-only" components of stripped securities than in interest-paying securities of the same or similar maturities. The Fund may be required to pay a dividend of the imputed income on a zero-coupon or principal-only security at a time when it has not actually received the income. The "interest-only" components of stripped securities are also especially sensitive to changes in prevailing 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.

Participation Interests in Loans. These securities represent an undivided fractional interest in a loan obligation of a borrower. They are typically purchased from banks or dealers that have made the loan, or are members of the loan syndicate, and that act as the servicing agent for the interest. The loans may be to foreign or U.S. companies. Participation interests are subject to the credit risk of the servicing agent as well as the credit risk of the borrower. If a fund purchases a participation interest, it may be only able to enforce its rights through the lender. The Fund can also buy interests in trusts and other entities that hold loan obligations. In that case the Fund will be subject to the trust's credit risks as well as the credit risks of the underlying loans.

The Fund does not invest more than 5% of its net assets in participation interests with respect to any one borrower.

Money Market Instruments. The Fund may also invest in "money market instruments." Money market instruments are short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated debt instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions, and other entities that meet the quality, maturity, diversification and other standards that apply to money market funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Money market instruments include bank obligations, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, and other corporate and governmental debt obligations. They may have fixed, variable or floating interest rates. Money market instruments generally do not generate capital appreciation if they are held to maturity.

Common Stock and Other Equity Investments. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, rights, warrants and certain debt securities that are convertible into common stock. Equity investments may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Common stock represents an ownership interest in a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy.

Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The dividends on preferred stock may be cumulative (they remain a liability of the company until paid) or non-cumulative. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. When interest rates rise, the value of preferred stock having a fixed dividend rate tends to fall.

A convertible security can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Convertible securities may provide more income than common stock but they generally provide less income than comparable non-convertible debt securities. Convertible securities are subject to credit and interest rate risk. The credit ratings of convertible securities generally have less impact on the value of those securities than they do on non-convertible debt securities, however.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as "illiquid" securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as "restricted securities." Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.

The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  The Manager monitors the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs") for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. The Fund's portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund's securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations.

The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

The Fund offers its shares to separate accounts of different insurance companies, as an investment for their variable annuity, variable life and other investment product contracts. While the Fund does not foresee any disadvantages to contract owners from these arrangements, it is possible that the interests of owners of different contracts participating in the Fund through different separate accounts might conflict. For example, a conflict could arise because of differences in tax treatment.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, rather than purchasing individual short-term investments, to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Fund cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments in which Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund invests or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund 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.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.

 

CHANGES TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares, however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. Shareholders will receive 60 days advance notice of any change in the 80% investment policy described in "The Fund's Main Investment Strategies." The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. 

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 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 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary managed funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

Advisory Fees.  Under the Fund's Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee, calculated on the daily net assets of the Fund, at an annual rate that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows: 0.60% on the first $1 billion of the Fund's daily net assets, and 0.50% of daily net assets in excess of $1 billion. The Fund's management fee for its last fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was 0.60% of average annual net assets for each class of shares.

Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service shares and 1.00% for Service shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.

Effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the Manager has also agreed to voluntarily waive the advisory fee by 0.18% of the Fund's average daily net assets. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be withdrawn at any time.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Krishna Memani and Peter A. Strzalkowski, who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. Mr. Memani has been a portfolio manager and Vice President of the Fund since April 1, 2009 and Mr. Strzalkowski has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since April 27, 2009.

Mr. Memani has been a Senior Vice President and Head of the Investment Grade Fixed Income Team of the Manager since March 2009. Mr. Memani was a Managing Director and Head of the U.S. and European Credit Analyst Team at Deutsche Bank Securities from June 2006 through January 2009. He was the Chief Credit Strategist at Credit Suisse Securities from August 2002 through March 2006. He was a Managing Director and Senior Portfolio Manager at Putnam Investments from September 1998 through June 2002. Mr. Memani is a portfolio manager and an officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

Mr. Strzalkowski, CFA, has been a Vice President of the Manager since August 2007 and a member of the Manager's Investment Grade Fixed Income Team since April 2009. Mr. Strzalkowski was a Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Vector Capital Management, LLC, a structured products money management firm he founded, from July 2006 through August 2007. He was a Senior Portfolio Manager at Highland Capital Management, L.P. from June 2005 through July 2006 and a Senior Fixed Income Portfolio Manager at Microsoft Corp. from June 2003 through June 2005. He was a Vice President and Senior Fixed Income Portfolio Manager at First Citizens Bank Trust, Capital Management Group, from April 2000 through June 2003 and a Vice President and Fixed Income Portfolio Manager at Centura Banks from November 1998 through April 2000. Mr. Strzalkowski is a portfolio manager and an officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio managers' compensation, other accounts they manage and their ownership of Fund shares.

INVESTING IN THE FUND 

How to Buy and Sell Shares

You may only submit instructions for buying or selling shares of the Fund to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Information about your investment in the Fund can only be obtained from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Fund's Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records.

 

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund currently offers two 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 usually have different share prices. The Service Shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. The expenses of that plan are described below. The Non-Service Shares are not subject to a distribution and service plan.

 

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Fund shares are sold to participating insurance companies at their net asset value per share. The net asset value that applies to a purchase order is the next one calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. Fund shares are redeemed at the next net asset value calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. The Fund's Transfer Agent generally must receive the purchase or redemption order from the insurance company by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next regular business day.

 The Fund does not impose any sales charge on purchases of its shares. If there are any charges imposed under the variable annuity, variable life or other contract through which Fund shares are purchased, they are described in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company. The participating insurance company's prospectus may also include information regarding the time you must submit your purchase and redemption orders.

The sale and redemption price for Fund shares will change from day to day because the value of the securities in its portfolio and its expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for different classes of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.

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 (the "NYSE"), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

The Fund determines the net assets of each class of shares by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of the Fund's liabilities attributable to the share class from the market value of the Fund's securities and other assets attributable to the share class. The Fund's "other assets" might include, for example, cash and interest or dividends from its portfolio securities that have been accrued but not yet collected. The Fund's securities are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.

The net asset value per share for each share class is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.

Fair Value Pricing. If market quotations are not readily available or (in the Manager's judgment) do not accurately reflect the fair value of a security, or if after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board believes would more accurately reflect the security's fair value.

In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities. It seeks to identify significant events that it believes, in good faith, will affect the market prices of the securities held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's "Valuation Committee." Those determinations may include consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security, developments in the markets and their performance, and current valuations of foreign or U.S. indices. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.

  Pricing Foreign Securities. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges. Because many foreign markets close hours before the Fund, values its foreign portfolio holdings, significant events, including broad market movements, may occur during that time that could potentially affect the values of foreign securities held by the Fund.

The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

 

HOW CAN YOU BUY FUND SHARES? Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. Individual investors cannot buy shares of the Fund directly. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on how to select the Fund as an investment option. That prospectus will indicate which share class you may be eligible to purchase.

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

HOW CAN YOU REDEEM FUND SHARES? Only the participating insurance companies that hold Fund shares in their separate accounts can place orders to redeem shares. Contract holders and policy holders should not directly contact the Fund or its transfer agent to request a redemption of Fund shares. The Fund normally sends payment by Federal Funds wire to the insurance company's account on the next business day after the Fund receives the order (and no later than seven days after the Fund's receipt of the order). Under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. Contract owners should refer to the withdrawal or surrender instructions in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company.

 

Redemptions "In-Kind." Shares may be "redeemed in-kind" under certain circumstances (such as redemptions of substantial amounts of shares by shareholders that have consented to such in kind redemptions). That means that the redemption proceeds will be paid to the participating insurance companies in securities from the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund redeems shares in-kind, the insurance company accounts may bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such securities are converted into cash.

 

Limitations on Frequent Transactions


 

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, may increase its transaction and administrative costs and may affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, and the aggregate dollar amount, the number and the frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in frequent redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading. If the Transfer Agent is not able to detect and curtail such activity, frequent trading could occur in the Fund.

Policies on Disruptive Activity

The Transfer Agent and the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, have entered into agreements with participating insurance companies designed to detect and restrict excessive short-term trading activity by contract or policy owners or their financial advisers in their accounts. The Transfer Agent generally does not consider periodic asset allocation or re-balancing that affects a portion of the Fund shares held in the account of a policy or contract owner to be "excessive trading." However, the Transfer Agent has advised participating insurance companies that it generally considers certain other types of trading activity to be "excessive," such as making a "transfer" out of the Fund within 30 days after buying Fund shares (by the sale of the recently purchased Fund shares and the purchase of shares of another fund) or making more than six "round-trip transfers" between funds during one year. The agreements require participating insurance companies to provide transaction information to the Fund and to execute Fund instructions to restrict trading in Fund shares.

 A participating insurance company may also have its own policies and procedures and may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term and/or excessive trading by its policy or contract owners. Those policies and procedures may be different from the Fund's in certain respects. You should refer to the prospectus for your insurance company variable annuity contract for specific information about the insurance company's policies. Under certain circumstances, policy or contract owners may be required to transmit purchase or redemption orders only by first class U.S. mail.

Monitoring the Policies. The Fund's policies and procedures for detecting and deterring frequent or excessive trading are administered by the Fund's Transfer Agent. However, the Transfer Agent presently does not have the ability to directly monitor trading activity in the accounts of policy or contract owners within the participating insurance companies' accounts. The Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in such insurance company accounts ultimately depends on the capability and diligence of each participating insurance company, under their agreements with the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Fund, in monitoring and controlling the trading activity of the policy or contract owners in the insurance company's accounts.

The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor the net effect on the Fund's assets from the purchase and redemption activity in the accounts of participating insurance companies and will seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the contract or policy owners who invest in the insurance company's accounts. If the Transfer Agent believes it has observed evidence of possible excessive trading activity, it will ask the participating insurance companies or other registered owners to provide information about the transaction activity of the contract or policy holders in their respective accounts, and to take appropriate action. In that case, the insurance company must confirm to the Transfer Agent that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the excessive trading activity.

The Transfer Agent will, subject to the limitations described in this section, limit or terminate the trading activity of any person, group or account that it believes would be excessive or disruptive. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect or curtail all such trading activity in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will evaluate trading activity on a case by case basis and the limitations placed on trading may vary between accounts.

Right to Refuse Purchase Orders. The Fund's Distributor or Transfer Agent may, in their discretion, refuse any purchase order and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

  

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS


Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares to pay the Distributor for distribution related services, personal services and account maintenance for those shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund's Service Shares. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time they will increase the operating expenses of the Service Shares and may cost you more than other types of fees or sales charges. As a result, the Service Shares may have lower performance compared to the Fund's shares that are not subject to a service fee.

     Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product for providing personal services and account maintenance for variable contract owners that hold Service Shares.

 

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to those firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include securities brokers, dealers or financial advisers, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

       Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends annually from any net investment income. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. Because of the higher expenses on Service Shares, the dividends and capital gains distributions paid on those shares will generally be lower than for other Fund shares.

Receiving Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares for the account of the participating insurance company, unless the insurance company elects to have dividends or distributions paid in cash.

 

TAXES. For a discussion of the tax status of a variable annuity contract, a variable life insurance policy or other investment product of a participating insurance company, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of your participating insurance company. Because shares of the Fund may be purchased only through insurance company separate accounts for variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other investment products, any dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term and long-term capital gains will be taxable, if at all, to the participating insurance company. Those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts, however.

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's financial performance for the past five fiscal years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund's financial statements, is included in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request. KPMG LLP has been appointed as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year end 2009. See the Statement of Additional Information for additional information.

ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing a substantial portion of its assets in securities of foreign issuers, "growth-type" companies, cyclical industries and special situations that are considered to have appreciation possibilities.

 

THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.

What is "Market Capitalization"? A company's "market capitalization" is the value of its outstanding common stock. Relative to other companies, a company may be classified as small-cap, mid-cap or large-cap.

The Fund mainly invests mainly in common stock of U.S. and foreign companies, The Fund can invest without limit in foreign securities and can invest in any country, including countries with developed or emerging markets. However, the Fund currently emphasizes its investments in developed markets such as the United States, Western European countries and Japan. The Fund does not limit its investments to companies in a particular capitalization range, but primarily invests in mid- and large-cap companies.

As a fundamental policy, the Fund normally will invest in at least three countries (one of which may be the United States). Typically, the Fund invests in a number of different countries. The Fund is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries. The Fund can also use certain derivative investments.

 

HOW THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER DECIDES WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL. In selecting securities, the Fund's portfolio manager primarily looks for U.S. and foreign companies with high growth potential. This approach includes fundamental analysis of a company's financial statements and management structure and consideration of the company's operations and product development, as well as its position in its industry. The portfolio manager also evaluates factors affecting particular industries, market trends and general economic conditions.

In seeking diversification of the Fund's portfolio, the portfolio manager currently focuses on foreign companies with the following factors, which may vary in particular cases and may change over time:

  • Worldwide growth-oriented companies of any market capitalization;
  • Companies at attractive valuations that may benefit from global growth trends;
  • Companies with strong competitive positions and high demand for their products or services;
  • Cyclical opportunities in the business cycle and sectors or industries that may benefit from those opportunities.

The portfolio manager also considers the effect of worldwide trends on the growth of particular business sectors and looks for companies that may benefit from those trends. The trends currently considered include: mass affluence, new technologies, corporate restructuring and demographic changes. The portfolio manager does not invest any fixed amount of the Fund's assets according to these criteria and the trends that are considered may change over time. The portfolio manager monitors individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security.

 

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund's shares are available only as an investment option under certain variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies and investment plans offered through insurance company separate accounts of participating insurance companies. The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking capital growth over the long term from a fund that invests in U.S. and foreign issuers. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund focusing on stocks and foreign securities. Because of its focus on long-term growth, the Fund may be appropriate for investors with longer term investment goals. 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. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have some degree of risk. The value of the Fund's shares fluctuates as the value of the Fund's investments changes, and may decline. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or from more specific factors like those described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCK. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant volatility and may fall sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.

A variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company's stock and the prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time. These factors may include: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular industry or sector. To the extent that the Fund increases its emphasis on stocks in a particular industry, the value of its investments may fluctuate more in response to events affecting that industry, such as changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry more than others.

 

RISKS OF GROWTH INVESTING. If a growth company's earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time. Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price. Growth stocks may also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.

 

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. A change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency and of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, or other political and economic factors.

     Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. Developing or emerging market countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges. Securities of companies in developing or emerging market countries may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and their prices may be more volatile than securities of companies in countries with more mature markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the proceeds of a sale of a security may not be received on a timely basis. The economies of developing or emerging market countries may be more dependent on relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Developing or emerging market countries may have less developed legal and accounting systems, and investments in those countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of company assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Their governments may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. The value of the currency of a developing or emerging market country may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in companies in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Investing in Special Situations. At times, the Fund may seek to benefit from what it considers to be "special situations," such as mergers, reorganizations, restructurings or other unusual events, that are expected to affect a particular issuer. There is a risk that the expected change or event might not occur, which could cause the price of the security to fall, perhaps sharply. In that case, the investment might not produce the expected gains or might cause a loss. This is an aggressive investment technique that may be considered speculative.

Cyclical Opportunities. At times, the Fund might seek to take advantage of short-term market movements or changes in the business cycle by investing in companies or industries that are sensitive to those changes. For example, when the economy is expanding, companies in consumer durables and the technology sector might benefit. There is a risk that if a cyclical event does not have the anticipated effect, or when the issuer or industry is out of phase in the business cycle, the value of the Fund's investment could fall.

 

              ______________________________

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. In the short term, domestic and foreign stock markets can be volatile. The Fund is designed for investors willing to assume the risks of investing in stocks and foreign securities in the hope of achieving long-term capital appreciation. The Fund is likely to be subject to greater fluctuations in its share prices than funds that invest in both stocks and bonds, or funds that do not invest in foreign issuers.

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. The bar chart shows the yearly performance of the Fund's Non-Service shares for the last 10 calendar years.


Charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart and if those charges were included, the returns may be less than those shown. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 36.93% (4th qtr 99) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -21.51% (4th qtr 08).

The following table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Fund's shares before taxes compared to a broad-based market index. Because the Fund's Service Shares and Class 4 Shares are subject to a service fee, their performance is expected to be lower than the performance of Non-Service Shares and Class 3 shares for any given period. The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

The average annual total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account, without deducting charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the Morgan Stanley Capital International (MSCI) World Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities listed on stock exchanges of 23 foreign countries and the U.S. The index performance includes income reinvestment but does not reflect any transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes.

The Fund's total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, even if both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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 Fund pays a variety of expenses for the management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay those expenses indirectly.

The numbers in the Table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, but have been restated to reflect the transfer agent fee changes described below as if those changes had been in effect during that entire fiscal year. Expenses may vary in future years.

Shareholder Fees. The Fund does not charge an initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends and there are no contingent deferred sales charges. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on initial or contingent deferred sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees for that variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product. Those charges and fees are not reflected in either of the tables below.

Since these expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay these expenses indirectly.

1.The Fund imposes a 1% fee on the proceeds of Class 3 and Class 4 Shares that are redeemed within 60 days after their purchase.
2."Other Expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays. Effective May 1, 2009 the Fund's transfer agent fee structure has changed. The "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" per the above table reflect the estimated annual effect of these contractual changes. Prior to May 1, 2009, the Transfer Agent had voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. For the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the transfer agent fees did not exceed that expense limitation. The actual "Other Expenses" as a percentage of the average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.02% for Non-Service, Service and Class 3 shares and were 0.03% for Class 4 shares. The Fund also receives certain credits from the Fund's custodian that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reduced its custodial expenses for all share classes by less than 0.01% of average daily net assets.
3. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 1.00% for Non-Service and Class 3 Shares and 1.25% for Service and Class 4 Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders. After all of the waivers and credits in effect during that period, the actual "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were 0.65% for Non-Service and Class 3 Shares, 0.90% for Service Shares and 0.91% for Class 4 Shares. It is estimated that after giving effect to all of the current fee structures, waivers and credits, the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets would have been 0.75% for Non-Service and Class 3 Shares, 1.00% for Service Shares and Class 4 Shares during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes 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 expenses for your variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product are not included and if they were included, overall expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Fund's expenses will vary over time and your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeemed your shares:

  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Non-Service Shares $77 $241 $418 $934
Service Shares $103 $320 $555 $1,231
Class 3 Shares $77 $241 $418 $934
Class 4 Shares $103 $320 $555 $1,231

In evaluating the Fund's expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets and issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer investment benefits to individuals without the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund's overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund's shareholders.

About the Fund's Investments

THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS.  The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

Investing in Foreign Securities. The Fund may buy stocks and other equity securities of companies that are organized under the laws of a foreign country or that have a substantial portion of their operations or assets in a foreign country or countries, or that derive a substantial portion of their revenue or profits from businesses, investments or sales outside of the United States.

The Fund may also buy debt securities issued by foreign companies. It may buy debt securities issued by foreign governments or their agencies, but debt securities are not expected to be a main investment strategy of the Fund.

  • Foreign Market Risk. If there are fewer investors in a particular foreign market, securities traded in that market may be less liquid and more volatile than U.S. securities. Foreign markets may also be subject to delays in the settlement of transactions and difficulties in pricing securities. If the Fund is delayed in settling a purchase or sale transaction, it may not receive any return on the invested assets or it may lose money if the value of the security declines. It may also be more expensive for the Fund to buy or sell securities in certain foreign markets than in the United States, which may increase the Fund's expense ratio.
  • Foreign Economy Risk. Foreign economies may be more vulnerable to political or economic changes than the U.S. economy. They may be more concentrated in particular industries or may rely on particular resources or trading partners to a greater extent. Certain foreign economies may be adversely affected by shortages of investment capital or by high rates of inflation. Changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad may also have a greater impact on the economies of certain foreign countries.
  • Foreign Governmental and Regulatory Risks. Foreign companies are not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements as U.S. companies. As a result there may be less accurate information available regarding a foreign company's operations and financial condition. Foreign companies may be subject to capital controls, nationalization, or confiscatory taxes. Some countries also have restrictions that limit foreign ownership and may impose penalties for increases in the value of the Fund's investment. The value of the Fund's foreign investments may be affected if it experiences difficulties in enforcing legal judgments in foreign courts.
  • Foreign Currency Risk. A change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency. If the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency will be worth less in U.S. dollars and if the U.S. dollar decreases in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency will be worth more in U.S. dollars. The dollar value of foreign investments may also be affected by exchange controls.
  • Foreign Custody Risk. There may be very limited regulatory oversight of certain foreign banks or securities depositories that hold foreign securities and foreign currency and the laws of certain countries may limit the ability to recover such assets if a foreign bank or depository or their agents goes bankrupt.
  • Time Zone Arbitrage. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in foreign securities, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. The Fund imposes a 1% redemption fee in certain circumstance, to attempt to deter such activity. The Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Manager and the Board believe to be their fair value, may also help deter those activities.

Investing in Growth Companies. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. Growth companies can be new companies or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business. Their anticipated growth may come from developing new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets.  Although newer growth companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Current examples include companies in the fields of telecommunications, computer software, and new consumer products.

Growth stocks may be less liquid and more volatile than other stock investments. They may lose value if the company's business plans do not produce the expected results, or if growth investing falls out of favor with investors. Growth stocks may also be more volatile because of investor speculation.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.  The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

Special Portfolio Diversification Requirements. To enable a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract based on an insurance company separate account to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, the underlying investments must follow special diversification requirements that limit the percentage of assets that can be invested in securities of particular issuers. The Fund's investment program is managed to meet those requirements, in addition to other diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that apply to publicly-sold mutual funds.

Failure by the Fund to meet those special requirements could cause earnings on a contract owner's interest in an insurance company separate account to be taxable income. Those diversification requirements might also limit, to some degree, the Fund's investment decisions in a way that could reduce its performance.


Other Equity Securities.
  In addition to common stocks, the Fund can invest in other equity or "equity equivalents" securities such as preferred stocks or convertible securities. Preferred stocks have a set dividend rate and rank ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. A convertible security is one that can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible securities offer the Fund the ability to participate in stock market movements while also seeking some current income. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. The Fund considers some convertible securities to be "equity equivalents" because they are convertible into common stock. The credit ratings of those convertible securities generally have less impact on the investment decision, although they are still subject to credit and interest rate risk.

Risks of Small- and Mid-Sized Companies. Small- and mid-sized companies may be either established or newer companies, including "unseasoned" companies that have been in operation for less than three years. While smaller companies might offer greater opportunities for gain than larger companies, they also involve greater risk of loss. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company's earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies' securities often trade in lower volumes and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Small- and mid-sized companies may not have established markets for their products or services and may have fewer customers and product lines. They may have more limited access to financial resources and may not have the financial strength to sustain them through business downturns or adverse market conditions. Since small- and mid-sized companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. Smaller companies may have unseasoned management or less depth in management skill than larger, more established companies. They may be more reliant on the efforts of particular members of their management team and management changes may pose a greater risk to the success of the business. Securities of small, unseasoned companies may be particularly volatile, especially in the short term, and may have very limited liquidity. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-sized company, if any gain is realized at all.

The Fund currently focuses on securities of issuers that have mid-to-large capitalizations. They may pay higher dividends than small capitalization companies and their stock prices have tended to be less volatile than securities of smaller issuers. However, the Fund can buy stocks of issuers in all capitalization ranges. At times the Manager might increase the relative emphasis of securities of issuers in a particular capitalization range if the Manager believes they offer greater opportunities for total return.

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may also enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase transaction, the Fund buys a security and simultaneously sells it back to the vendor for delivery at a future date. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized. However, if the seller fails to pay the repurchase 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. If the default on the part of the seller is due to its bankruptcy, the Fund's ability to liquidate the collateral may be delayed or limited.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different types of "derivative" investments. A derivative is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks.

The Fund may use derivatives to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.

Options, futures and forward contracts are some of the types of derivatives the Fund can use. The Fund may also use other types of derivatives that are consistent with its investment strategies or for hedging purposes.

The Fund has percentage limits on its use of hedging instruments and is not required to use hedging instruments in seeking its objective.

Hedging. Hedging transactions are intended to reduce the risks of securities in the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, however, the hedge might be unsuccessful or could reduce the Fund's return or create a loss.

Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Fund expects it to. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. The Fund may also lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer fails to pay the amount due.

Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as "illiquid" securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as "restricted securities." Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.

The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  The Manager monitors the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs") for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. The Fund's portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund's securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations.

The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

The Fund offers its shares to separate accounts of different insurance companies, as an investment for their variable annuity, variable life and other investment product contracts. While the Fund does not foresee any disadvantages to contract owners from these arrangements, it is possible that the interests of owners of different contracts participating in the Fund through different separate accounts might conflict. For example, a conflict could arise because of differences in tax treatment.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, rather than purchasing individual short-term investments, to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Fund cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments in which Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund invests or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund 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.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.

 

CHANGES TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares; however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. 

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 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 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary managed funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

Advisory Fees.  Under the investment advisory agreement,the Fund pays the Manager an advisory fee at anannual rate that declines on additional assets as the Fund grows: 0.75% of the first $200 million of average annual netassets, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, and 0.60% of average annual net assets over $800 million. The Fund's management fee for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, was 0.63% of the Fund's average annual net assets for each class of shares.

Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 1.00% for Non-Service Shares and Class 3 Shares and 1.25% for Service Shares and Class 4 Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees'approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders fort he year ended December 31, 2008.

Portfolio Manager. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Rajeev Bhaman, who is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. Mr. Bhaman has been portfolio manager and Vice President of the Fund since August 2004.

Mr. Bhaman, CFA, has been a Senior Vice President of the Manager since May 2006 and was a Vice President of the Manager from January 1997 to May 2006. He is a portfolio manager and an officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio manager's compensation, other accounts he manages and his ownership of Fund shares.

INVESTING IN THE FUND 

How to Buy and Sell Shares

You may only submit instructions for buying or selling shares of the Fund to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Information about your investment in the Fund can only be obtained from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Fund's Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records.

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund currently offers 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 usually have different share prices. The Service Shares and Class 4 Shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. The expenses of that plan are described below. The Non-Service Shares and Class 3 Shares are not subject to a service and distribution plan.

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Fund shares are sold to participating insurance companies at their net asset value per share. The net asset value that applies to a purchase order is the next one calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. Fund shares are redeemed at the next net asset value calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form, less any applicable redemption fee. The Fund's Transfer Agent generally must receive the purchase or redemption order from the insurance company by 9:30 am Eastern Time on the next regular business day.

The Fund does not impose any sales charge on purchases of its shares. However, the Fund imposes a 1% redemption fee on the proceeds of Class 3 and Class 4 shares that are redeemed within 60 days of their purchase. If there are any charges imposed under the variable annuity, variable life or other contract through which Fund shares are purchased, they are described in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company. The participating insurance company's prospectus may also include information regarding the time you must submit your purchase and redemption orders.

The sale and redemption price for Fund shares will change from day to day because the value of the securities in its portfolio and its expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for different classes of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.

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 (the "NYSE"), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

The Fund determines the net assets of each class of shares by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of the Fund's liabilities attributable to the share class from the market value of the Fund's securities and other assets attributable to the share class. The Fund's "other assets" might include, for example, cash and interest or dividends from its portfolio securities that have been accrued but not yet collected. The Fund's securities are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.

The net asset value per share for each share class is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.

Fair Value Pricing. If market quotations are not readily available or (in the Manager's judgment) do not accurately reflect the fair value of a security, or if after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board believes would more accurately reflect the security's fair value.

In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities. It seeks to identify significant events that it believes, in good faith, will affect the market prices of the securities held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's "Valuation Committee." Those determinations may include consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security, developments in the markets and their performance, and current valuations of foreign or U.S. indices. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.

  Pricing Foreign Securities. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges. Because many foreign markets close hours before the Fund, values its foreign portfolio holdings, significant events, including broad market movements, may occur during that time that could potentially affect the values of foreign securities held by the Fund.

The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

 

HOW CAN YOU BUY FUND SHARES? Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. Individual investors cannot buy shares of the Fund directly. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on how to select the Fund as an investment option. That prospectus will indicate which share class you may be eligible to purchase.

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

HOW CAN YOU REDEEM FUND SHARES? Only the participating insurance companies that hold Fund shares in their separate accounts can place orders to redeem shares. Contract holders and policy holders should not directly contact the Fund or its transfer agent to request a redemption of Fund shares. The Fund normally sends payment by Federal Funds wire to the insurance company's account on the next business day after the Fund receives the order (and no later than seven days after the Fund's receipt of the order). Under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. Contract owners should refer to the withdrawal or surrender instructions in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company.

 

Redemption Fee. The Fund imposes a 1% redemption fee on Class 3 and Class 4 shares that are redeemed within 60 days of their purchase. The redemption fee is collected by the participating insurance company and paid to the Fund. It is intended to help offset the trading, market impact, and administrative costs associated with short-term transactions in Fund shares, and to help deter excessive short term trading. The redemption fee will only be imposed on the Class 3 or Class 4 shares you redeem that are more than the number of Class 3 or Class 4 shares you have held for more than 60 days. Shares held the longest will be redeemed first.

Redemptions "In-Kind." Shares may be "redeemed in-kind" under certain circumstances (such as redemptions of substantial amounts of shares by shareholders that have consented to such in kind redemptions). That means that the redemption proceeds will be paid to the participating insurance companies in securities from the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund redeems shares in-kind, the insurance company accounts may bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such securities are converted into cash.

 

Limitations on Frequent Transactions


 

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, may increase its transaction and administrative costs and may affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, and the aggregate dollar amount, the number and the frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in frequent redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading. If the Transfer Agent is not able to detect and curtail such activity, frequent trading could occur in the Fund.

Policies on Disruptive Activity

The Transfer Agent and the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, have entered into agreements with participating insurance companies designed to detect and restrict excessive short-term trading activity by contract or policy owners or their financial advisers in their accounts. The Transfer Agent generally does not consider periodic asset allocation or re-balancing that affects a portion of the Fund shares held in the account of a policy or contract owner to be "excessive trading." However, the Transfer Agent has advised participating insurance companies that it generally considers certain other types of trading activity to be "excessive," such as making a "transfer" out of the Fund within 30 days after buying Fund shares (by the sale of the recently purchased Fund shares and the purchase of shares of another fund) or making more than six "round-trip transfers" between funds during one year. The agreements require participating insurance companies to provide transaction information to the Fund and to execute Fund instructions to restrict trading in Fund shares.

 A participating insurance company may also have its own policies and procedures and may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term and/or excessive trading by its policy or contract owners. Those policies and procedures may be different from the Fund's in certain respects. You should refer to the prospectus for your insurance company variable annuity contract for specific information about the insurance company's policies. Under certain circumstances, policy or contract owners may be required to transmit purchase or redemption orders only by first class U.S. mail.

Monitoring the Policies. The Fund's policies and procedures for detecting and deterring frequent or excessive trading are administered by the Fund's Transfer Agent. However, the Transfer Agent presently does not have the ability to directly monitor trading activity in the accounts of policy or contract owners within the participating insurance companies' accounts. The Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in such insurance company accounts ultimately depends on the capability and diligence of each participating insurance company, under their agreements with the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Fund, in monitoring and controlling the trading activity of the policy or contract owners in the insurance company's accounts.

The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor the net effect on the Fund's assets from the purchase and redemption activity in the accounts of participating insurance companies and will seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the contract or policy owners who invest in the insurance company's accounts. If the Transfer Agent believes it has observed evidence of possible excessive trading activity, it will ask the participating insurance companies or other registered owners to provide information about the transaction activity of the contract or policy holders in their respective accounts, and to take appropriate action. In that case, the insurance company must confirm to the Transfer Agent that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the excessive trading activity.

The Transfer Agent will, subject to the limitations described in this section, limit or terminate the trading activity of any person, group or account that it believes would be excessive or disruptive. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect or curtail all such trading activity in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will evaluate trading activity on a case by case basis and the limitations placed on trading may vary between accounts.

Right to Refuse Purchase Orders. The Fund's Distributor or Transfer Agent may, in their discretion, refuse any purchase order and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

  

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS


Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares and Class 4 Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares and Class 4 Shares to pay the Distributor for distribution related services, personal services and account maintenance for those shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund's Service Shares and Class 4 Shares. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time they will increase the operating expenses of the Service Shares and Class 4 Shares and may cost you more than other types of fees or sales charges. As a result, the Service Shares and Class 4 Shares may have lower performance compared to the Fund's shares that are not subject to a service fee.

     Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate
sponsor(s) of the insurance product for providing personal services and account maintenance for variable contract owners that hold Service Shares and Class 4 Shares.

 

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to those firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include securities brokers, dealers or financial advisers, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

       Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends annually from any net investment income. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. Because of the higher expenses on Service Shares and Class 4 shares, the dividends and capital gains distributions paid on those shares will generally be lower than for other Fund shares.

Receiving Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares for the account of the participating insurance company, unless the insurance company elects to have dividends or distributions paid in cash.

 

TAXES. For a discussion of the tax status of a variable annuity contract, a variable life insurance policy or other investment product of a participating insurance company, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of your participating insurance company. Because shares of the Fund may be purchased only through insurance company separate accounts for variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other investment products, any dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term and long-term capital gains will be taxable, if at all, to the participating insurance company. Those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts, however.

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's financial performance for the past five fiscal years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund's financial statements, is included in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request. KPMG LLP has been appointed as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year end 2009. See the Statement of Additional Information for additional information.

ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT ARE THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES? The Fund seeks a high level of current income by investing mainly in a diversified portfolio of high-yield, lower-grade, fixed-income securities that the Fund's investment manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., believes does not involve undue risk.

 

THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. The Fund invests in a variety of high-yield debt securities and related instruments. Those investments include primarily:

  • Lower-grade corporate bonds.
  • Foreign corporate and government bonds.
  • Swaps, including single name and index-linked credit default swaps.

Under normal market conditions,

What is a Debt Security? A debt security is a security representing money borrowed by the issuer that must be repaid, specifying the amount of principal, the interest or discount rate, and the time or times at which payments are due.

the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in high-yield, lower-grade, fixed-income securities, also referred to as "junk" bonds. The remainder of the Fund's assets may be invested in other debt securities, common stocks (and other equity securities), cash or cash equivalents, when the Manager believes these investments are consistent with the Fund's objectives. The Fund has no requirements as to the range of maturities of the debt securities it can buy or as to the market capitalization of the issuers of those securities.

The Fund's debt securities may be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services or may be unrated. Lower-grade debt securities are those rated below "Baa" by Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") or below "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("S&P") or that have comparable ratings from other nationally-recognized rating organizations. Additionally, unrated debt securities may be determined to be comparable to securities rated below investment grade by the Manager.

The Fund may invest in securities of U.S. or foreign issuers. The Fund currently focuses on securities of foreign issuers in developed markets. The Fund may also use certain types of derivative investments to try to enhance income or to try to manage ("hedge") investment risks, including: options, futures contracts, swaps, "structured" notes, and certain mortgage-related securities.

 

HOW THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER DECIDES WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL. In selecting securities, the Fund's portfolio manager seeks to build a broadly diversified portfolio to try to moderate the special risks of investing in high-yield debt instruments. The portfolio manager currently uses an approach that evaluates the performance of individual securities as well as industry trends. He evaluates an issuer's liquidity, financial strength and earnings power. The Fund's portfolio manager also analyzes the overall investment opportunities and risks in different market sectors and industries. The portfolio manager currently focuses on the following factors, which may vary in particular cases and may change over time:

  • Issuers with earnings growth rates that are faster than the growth rate of the overall economy,
  • Issuers with improvements in relative cash flows and liquidity to help them meet their obligations,
  • Corporate sectors that in the portfolio managers' views are currently undervalued in the marketplace,
  • Changes in the business cycle that might affect corporate profits, and
  • Securities or sectors that will help the overall diversification of the portfolio.

The Fund may sell securities that the portfolio managers believe no longer meet the above criteria.

 

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund's shares are available only as an investment option under certain variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies and investment plans offered through insurance company separate accounts of participating insurance companies. The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking high current income from a fund that invests mainly in lower grade U.S. and foreign debt securities. Those investors should be willing to assume the greater risks of short-term share price fluctuations and the special credit risks that are typical for a fund that invests mainly in lower grade fixed-income securities. The Fund is intended to be a long-term investment, not a short-term trading vehicle. Because the Fund's income will fluctuate, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have some degree of risk. The value of the Fund's shares fluctuates as the value of the Fund's investments changes, and may decline. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or from more specific factors like those described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

MAIN RISKS OF INVESTING IN DEBT SECURITIES. Debt securities (also referred to as "fixed-income securities") may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk and extension 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 an issuer fails to pay interest or to repay principal, the Fund's income and share value will usually be reduced. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. The values of debt securities are also subject to change when prevailing interest rates change. When prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. When prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may sell at a discount from their face amount or from the amount the Fund paid for them. Interest rate changes generally have a greater effect on longer-term debt securities than on shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, the issuers of debt securities may prepay principal more quickly than expected and the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as "prepayment risk." When interest rates rise, debt securities may be repaid more slowly than expected and the value of the Fund's holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as "extension risk." Interest rate changes may have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates.

     Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower-grade debt securities, whether rated or unrated, have greater credit risks than investment-grade securities. They may be subject to greater price fluctuations and have a greater risk that the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due. The market for lower-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore they may be harder to value or to sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.

Because the Fund can invest without limit in lower-grade securities, the Fund's credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities.

 

FIXED-INCOME MARKET RISKS. Recent developments relating to subprime mortgages have adversely affected fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. The values of many types of debt securities have been reduced, including debt securities that are not related to mortgage loans. These developments have reduced the willingness of some lenders to extend credit and have made it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms or at all. In addition, broker-dealers and other market participants have been less willing to make a market in some types of debt instruments, which has impacted the liquidity of those instruments. These developments may also have a negative effect on the broader economy. There is a risk that the lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund's ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.

 

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. A change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency and of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, or other political and economic factors.

     Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. Developing or emerging market countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges. Securities of companies in developing or emerging market countries may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and their prices may be more volatile than securities of companies in countries with more mature markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the proceeds of a sale of a security may not be received on a timely basis. The economies of developing or emerging market countries may be more dependent on relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Developing or emerging market countries may have less developed legal and accounting systems, and investments in those countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of company assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Their governments may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. The value of the currency of a developing or emerging market country may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in companies in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

     Time-Zone Arbitrage. The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that are traded in U.S. or foreign markets. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in securities traded in foreign markets, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. The Fund imposes a 1% redemption fee in certain circumstances, to attempt to deter such activity.  The Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Fund and the Board believe to be their fair value, may also help deter those activities.

 

RISKS OF DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Fund expects it to. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. The Fund may also lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer fails to pay the amount due. Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.

 

                     __________________________________

 

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Debt securities are subject to credit and interest rate risks that can affect their values and the share prices of the Fund. In the short term, the values of high-yield debt securities can fluctuate substantially because of interest rate changes and perceptions about the high-yield market among investors. Defaults by issuers of lower-grade securities could reduce the Fund's income and share prices. Derivative securities can also entail significant risks. Foreign debt securities can be volatile, and the price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially because of events affecting foreign markets or issuers. The Fund is likely to be more volatile and has more risks than funds that focus only on investing in U.S. government securities and 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. The bar chart shows the yearly performance of the Fund's Non-Service Shares for the last 10 calendar years.


Charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart and if those charges were included, the returns may be less than those shown. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 8.88% (2nd qtr 03) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -71.27% (4th qtr 08).

The following table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Fund's shares before taxes compared to a broad-based market index. The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

2.  From 9-30-01

The average annual total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account, without deducting charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. corporate and government bonds that is a measure of the performance of the high-yield corporate bond market. The index performance includes income reinvestment but does not reflect any transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Funds investments vary from those in the index.

The Fund's total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, even if both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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 Fund pays a variety of expenses for the management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay those expenses indirectly.

The numbers in the Table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, but have been restated to reflect the transfer agent fee changes described below as if those changes had been in effect during that entire fiscal year. Expenses may vary in future years.

Shareholder Fees. The Fund does not charge an initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends and there are no contingent deferred sales charges. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on initial or contingent deferred sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees for that variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product. Those charges and fees are not reflected in either of the tables below.

1. The Fund imposes a 1% fee on the proceeds of Class 3 and Class 4 Shares that are redeemed within 60 days after their purchase.
2. Effective September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee rate as further described in the section "How the Fund is Managed - Advisory Fees" of this prospectus. After that waiver, the actual Management Fees during the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was 0.71% for all share classes. That advisory fee reduction is a voluntary undertaking and may be terminated by the Manager at any time. Effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive its advisory fee by 0.26% of the Fund's average daily net assets. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be withdrawn at any time.
3. "Other expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and audit and legal expenses that the Fund pays. Effective May 1, 2009 the Fund's transfer agent fee structure has changed.  The "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" per the above table reflect the estimated annual effect of these contractual changes. Prior to May 1, 2009, the Transfer Agent had voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes.  For the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the transfer agent fees did not exceed that expense limitation. The actual "Other Expenses" as a percentage of the average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.07% for Non-Service Shares, Service Shares and Class 3 Shares and 0.11% for Class 4 Shares. The Fund also receives certain credits from the Fund's custodian that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reduced its custodial expenses for all share classes by less than 0.01% of average daily net assets.
4.  Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service and Class 3 Shares and 1.00% for Service and Class 4 Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders. After all of the expense limitations and waivers/reimbursements in effect during that period, the actual "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008,  were 0.78% for Non-Service Shares; 1.03% for Service Shares; 0.78% for Class 3 Shares; and 1.05% for Class 4 Shares. It is estimated that after giving effect to all of the current fee structures, waivers and credits, the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets would have been 0.49% for Non-Service Shares and Class 3 Shares and 0.74% for Service Shares and Class 4 Shares, during the fiscal yeear ended December 31, 2008.

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes 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 expenses for your variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product are not included and if they were included, overall expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Fund's expenses will vary over time and your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeemed your shares:

  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Service Shares $117 $364 $631 $1,394
Non-Service Shares $92 $288 $501 $1,113
Class 3 Shares $92 $288 $501 $1,113
Class 4 Shares $115 $358 $620 $1,371

In evaluating the Fund's expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets and issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer investment benefits to individuals without the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund's overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund's shareholders.

About the Fund's Investments

The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and 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 FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS.  The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

 

DEBT SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in debt securities, including securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, or by foreign governments, or by foreign or domestic corporations. The Fund may select debt securities for their income possibilities or to help cushion fluctuations in the value of its portfolio.

Debt securities may be subject to the following risks:

  • Interest Rate Risk. The values of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the Fund's investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund's income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change.

       The Fund may also buy zero-coupon or "stripped" securities, which may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes.  Interest rate changes may have different effects on the values of mortgage-related securities because of prepayment and extension risks.



  • Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. That is the risk that when interest rates fall, borrowers will prepay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the security's expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium, accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause it to lose a portion of its principal investment represented by the premium. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the security's price volatility. Interest-only and principal-only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and prepayment assumptions about those investments.
  • Extension Risk. If interest rates rise rapidly, repayments of principal on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected and the expected maturity of those securities could lengthen as a result. Those securities generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their value to fall sharply.
  • Credit Risk. Debt securities are also 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. Securities directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and certain agencies that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government have little credit risk, and other U.S. Government securities generally have lower credit risks, while securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments generally have greater credit risks. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the values of the security might fall. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news about an issuer can reduce the market value of that issuer's securities.

Credit Quality.  The Fund may invest in securities that are rated or unrated. "Investment grade" securities are rated in one of the top four rating categories by nationally-recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. "Lower grade" securities are those that are rated below those categories. While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by S&P are considered "investment grade," they may also have some speculative characteristics. 

        Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Rating agencies might not always change their credit rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer's ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business and economic factors affecting issuers as well. The ratings definitions of the principal ratings organizations are included in Appendix B to the Statement of Additional Information.

High-Yield, Lower-Grade Debt Securities. To seek high current income, under normal market conditions the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in high-yield, lower-grade, fixed-income securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. Those securities may include, among others: bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stock, loan participation interests, "structured" notes, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. There are no limits on the amount of the Fund's assets that can be invested in securities rated below investment grade. The Fund may invest in securities rated as low as "C" or "D" or that are in default at the time the Fund buys them. Those securities are generally considered speculative.

     Price Arbitrage. Because the Fund may invest in high yield bonds that may trade infrequently, investors might seek to trade fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of those securities (this is sometimes referred to as "price arbitrage"). The Fund imposes a 1% redemption fee in certain circumstances, to attempt to deter such activity. If such price arbitrage were successful, it might interfere with the efficient management of the Fund's portfolio and the Fund may be required to sell securities at disadvantageous times or prices to satisfy the liquidity requirements created by that activity. Successful price arbitrage might also dilute the value of fund shares held by other shareholders.

Foreign Investments. The Fund can invest its assets without limit in foreign debt securities and can buy securities of governments and companies in both developed markets and emerging markets. The Fund can buy a variety of securities issued by foreign governments and companies, as well as "supra-national" entities, such as the World Bank. The Fund's foreign investments primarily include bonds, debentures and notes. The Fund's foreign investments can be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different types of "derivative" investments. A derivative is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks.

The Fund may use derivatives to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.

        Options, futures, swaps, "structured" notes, and certain mortgage-related securities are some of the types of derivatives the Fund can use. The Fund may also use other types of derivatives for investment or hedging purposes that are consistent with its investment strategies.

      "Structured" Notes. "Structured" notes are specially-designed derivative debt investments. The terms of the instrument may be "structured" by the purchaser and the issuer of the note. Payments of principal or interest on these notes may be linked to the value of an index (such as a currency or securities index), an individual security, or a commodity. The value of these notes will normally rise or fall in response to the changes in the performance of the underlying security, index or commodity.

Structured notes are subject to interest rate risk and are also subject to credit risk with respect both to the borrower (referred to as "counter-party" risk) and to the issuer of the underlying investment. If the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated, the Fund might receive less interest than the stated coupon payment or repay less principal upon maturity. The price of structured notes may be very volatile and they may have a limited trading market, making it difficult for the Fund to value them or sell them at an acceptable price.

     Credit Default Swaps. A credit default swap enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a credit event, such as an issuer's failure to make timely payments of interest or principal, bankruptcy or restructuring. The terms of the instrument are generally negotiated by the Fund and the swap counterparty. A swap may be embedded within a structured note or other derivative instrument.

Generally, if the Fund buys credit protection using a credit default swap, the Fund will make fixed payments to the counterparty and if a credit event occurs, the Fund will deliver the defaulted bonds underlying the swap to the swap counterparty and the counterparty will pay the Fund par for the bonds. If the Fund sells credit protection using a credit default swap, generally the Fund will receive fixed payments from the counterparty and if a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay the swap counterparty par for the defaulted bonds underlying the swap and the swap counterparty will deliver the bonds to the Fund. If the credit default swap is on a basket of securities, the notional value of the swap is reduced by the par amount of the defaulted bonds, and the fixed payments are then made on the reduced notional value.

Credit default swaps are subject to credit risk on the underlying investment and to counterparty credit risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations the Fund may lose money. Credit default swaps are also subject to the risk that the Fund will not properly assess the cost of the underlying investment. If the Fund is selling credit protection, there is a risk that a credit event will occur and that the Fund will have to pay par value on defaulted bonds. If the Fund is buying credit protection, there is a risk that no credit event will occur and the Fund will receive no benefit for the premium paid.

     Interest Rate Swaps.  In an interest rate swap, the Fund and another party exchange the right to receive interest payments on a security or other reference rate. For example, they might swap the right to receive floating rate payments for the right to receive fixed rate payments. The terms of the instrument are generally negotiated by the Fund and the swap counterparty. An interest rate swap may be embedded within a structured note or other derivative instrument.

Interest rate swaps are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. An interest rate swap transaction could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Interest rate swaps are also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money.

     Total Return Swaps. In a total return swap transaction, one party agrees to pay the other party an amount equal to the total return on a defined underlying asset or a non-asset reference during a specified period of time. The underlying asset might be a security or basket of securities or a non-asset reference such as a securities index. In return, the other party would make periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or on the total return from a different underlying asset or non-asset reference.

Total return swaps could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Total return swaps can have the potential for unlimited losses. They are also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money.

     Swap Transactions. There is no central exchange or market for swap transactions and therefore they are less liquid than exchange-traded instruments. If the Fund were to sell a swap it owned to a third party, the Fund would still remain primarily liable for the obligations under the swap contract.

 

DIVERSIFICATION AND CONCENTRATION.  The Fund is a diversified fund. It attempts to reduce its exposure to the risks of individual securities by diversifying its investments across a broad number of different companies. The Fund will not concentrate more than 25% of its total assets in issuers in any one industry.  At times, however, the Fund may emphasize investments in some industries more than others.

The Fund will not concentrate more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of any one foreign government.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.  The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

Special Portfolio Diversification Requirements. To enable a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract based on an insurance company separate account to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, the underlying investments must follow special diversification requirements that limit the percentage of assets that can be invested in securities of particular issuers. The Fund's investment program is managed to meet those requirements, in addition to other diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that apply to publicly-sold mutual funds.

Failure by the Fund to meet those special requirements could cause earnings on a contract owner's interest in an insurance company separate account to be taxable income. Those diversification requirements might also limit, to some degree, the Fund's investment decisions in a way that could reduce its performance.

Common Stock and Other Equity Investments. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, rights, warrants and certain debt securities that are convertible into common stock. Equity investments may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Common stock represents an ownership interest in a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy.

Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The dividends on preferred stock may be cumulative (they remain a liability of the company until paid) or non-cumulative. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. When interest rates rise, the value of preferred stock having a fixed dividend rate tends to fall.

A convertible security is one that can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Convertible securities may provide more income than common stock but they generally provide less income than comparable non-convertible debt securities. Convertible securities are subject to credit and interest rate risk. The credit ratings of convertible securities generally have less impact on the value of the securities than they do for non-convertible debt securities, however.

Risks of Investing in Equity Securities. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes in equity markets in general. Equity markets may experience great short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign markets.

The prices of equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company's securities. These factors may include: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular industry or sector. To the extent that the Fund increases its emphasis on stocks in a particular industry, the value of its investments may fluctuate more in response to events affecting that industry, such as changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry more than others.

Preferred stock is considered a debt security for purposes of the Fund's policy of investing 65% or more of its assets in lower-grade debt securities.

Mortgage-Related Securities. The Fund can buy interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages in the form of  "pass-through" mortgage securities. They may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or its agencies and instrumentalities, or by private issuers. Mortgage-related securities may be issued in different series, each having different interest rates and maturities. The prices and yields of mortgage-related securities are determined, in part, by assumptions about the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages and are subject to the risks of unanticipated prepayment.

U.S. Government Securities. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities. Some of those securities are directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. "Full faith and credit" means that the taxing power of the U.S. Government is pledged to the payment of interest and repayment of principal on a security.

Some securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, such as Government National Mortgage Corporation pass-through mortgage obligations ("Ginnie Maes"), are also backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Others are supported by the right of the agency to borrow an amount from the U.S. Government (for example, "Fannie Mae" bonds issued by Federal National Mortgage Corporation and "Freddie Mac" obligations issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). Others are supported only by the credit of the agency (for example obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks). On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, a new independent regulatory agency, placed the Federal National Mortgage Corporation and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation into conservatorship and the U.S. Department of Treasury made a commitment to purchase mortgage-backed securities from the companies through December 2009. The U.S. Department of Treasury also entered into a new secured lending credit facility with those companies and a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. Under those agreements, the Treasury will ensure that each company maintains a positive net worth. 

     U.S. Treasury Securities. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States for payment of interest and repayment of principal and have little credit risk. Some of the securities that are issued directly by the U.S. Treasury are: Treasury bills (having maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (having maturities of from one to ten years when issued), Treasury bonds (having maturities of more than ten years when issued) and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities ("TIPS"). While U.S. Treasury securities have little credit risk, they are subject to price fluctuations from changes in interest rates prior to their maturity.

     Mortgage-Related Government Securities. The Fund can buy interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages, in the form of "pass-through" mortgage securities. They may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or its agencies and instrumentalities. Mortgage-related U.S. Government securities may be issued in different series, each having different interest rates and maturities.

Mortgage-related securities that are U.S. Government securities have collateral to secure payment of interest and principal. The collateral is either in the form of mortgage pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency or instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a U.S. Government agency. The prices and yields of mortgage-related securities are determined, in part, by assumptions about the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages and are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Private-Issuer Securities. The Fund can also invest in securities issued by private issuers, such as banks, savings and loans, and other entities, including mortgage-related securities. Securities issued by private issuers are subject to greater credit risks than U.S. Government securities.

     Mortgage-Related Private Issuer Securities. Primarily these investments include multi-class debt or pass-through certificates secured by mortgage loans, which may be issued by banks, savings and loans, mortgage bankers and other non-governmental issuers.  Private-issuer mortgage-backed securities may include loans on residential or commercial properties.

Mortgage-related securities issued by private issuers are not U.S. Government securities, which makes them subject to greater credit risks. Private issuer securities are subject to the credit risks of the issuers as well as to interest rate risks, although in some cases they may be supported by insurance or guarantees. The prices and yields of private issuer mortgage-related securities are also subject to prepayment and extension risk. The market for private-issuer mortgage-backed securities may be volatile at times and may be less liquid than the markets for other types of securities.

Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are fractional interests in pools of loans, other assets or receivables. They are issued by trusts or other special purpose vehicles and are collateralized by the loans, other assets or receivables that make up the pool. The trust or other issuer passes the income from the underlying pool to the investor. Neither the Fund nor the Manager selects the loans or other assets that are included in the pools or the collateral backing those pools. Asset-backed securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Certain asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risk.

Zero-Coupon and Stripped Securities. Some of the debt securities the Fund may invest in are "zero-coupon" or "stripped" securities. Zero-coupon securities pay no interest prior to their maturity date or another specified date in the future but are issued at a discount from their face value. Stripped securities are the separate income or principal components of a debt security, such as Treasury securities whose coupons have been stripped by a Federal Reserve Bank. One component might receive all the interest and the other all the principal payments.

Interest rate changes generally cause greater price fluctuations in zero-coupon securities or the "principal-only" components of stripped securities than in interest-paying securities of the same or similar maturities. The Fund may be required to pay a dividend of the imputed income on a zero-coupon or principal-only security at a time when it has not actually received the income. The "interest-only" components of stripped securities are also especially sensitive to changes in prevailing 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.

The Fund can invest up to 50% of its total assets in zero-coupon securities issued by either the U.S. Treasury or by private issuers.

Participation Interests in Loans. These securities represent an undivided fractional interest in a loan obligation of a borrower. They are typically purchased from banks or dealers that have made the loan, or are members of the loan syndicate, and that act as the servicing agent for the interest. The loans may be to foreign or U.S. companies. Participation interests are subject to the credit risk of the servicing agent as well as the credit risk of the borrower. If a fund purchases a participation interest, it may be only able to enforce its rights through the lender. The Fund can also buy interests in trusts and other entities that hold loan obligations. In that case the Fund will be subject to the trust's credit risks as well as the credit risks of the underlying loans.

The Fund does not invest more than 5% of its net assets in participation interests with respect to any one borrower.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis and may purchase or sell such securities on a "delayed-delivery" basis. When-issued and delayed-delivery securities are purchased at a price that is fixed at the time of the transaction, with payment and delivery of the security made at a later date. During the period between purchase and settlement, the Fund makes no payment to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Fund from the investment.

The securities are subject to changes in value from market fluctuations during the period until settlement and the value of the security on the delivery date may be more or less than the Fund paid. The Fund may lose money if the value of the security declines below the purchase price.

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may also enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase transaction, the Fund buys a security and simultaneously sells it back to the vendor for delivery at a future date. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized. However, if the seller fails to pay the repurchase 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. If the default on the part of the seller is due to its bankruptcy, the Fund's ability to liquidate the collateral may be delayed or limited.

Hedging. Hedging transactions are intended to reduce the risks of securities in the Fund's portfolio. At times, however, a hedging instrument's value might not be correlated with the investment it is intended to hedge, and the hedge might be unsuccessful. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the strategy could reduce its return or create a loss.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as "illiquid" securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as "restricted securities." Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.

The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  The Manager monitors the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs") for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. The Fund's portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund's securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations.

The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

The Fund offers its shares to separate accounts of different insurance companies, as an investment for their variable annuity, variable life and other investment product contracts. While the Fund does not foresee any disadvantages to contract owners from these arrangements, it is possible that the interests of owners of different contracts participating in the Fund through different separate accounts might conflict. For example, a conflict could arise because of differences in tax treatment.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, rather than purchasing individual short-term investments, to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Fund cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments in which Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund invests or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund 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.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.

 

CHANGES TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares; however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. 

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 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 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary managed funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

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, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60% on the next $200 million and 0.50% of average annual net assets over $1 billion. The Fund's management fee for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, was 0.73% of the Fund's average annual net assets for each class of shares.

Effective September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009 (the "waiver period"), the Manager has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee rate by 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets if the Fund's trailing one-year total return performance is in the fifth quintile of the Fund's Lipper peer group and by 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets if the Fund's trailing one-year total return performance is in the fourth quintile of the Fund's Lipper peer group as of August 31, 2008. However, if the Fund's trailing one-year total return performance, as measured at the end of any calendar quarter during the waiver period, improves from the fifth quintile to the fourth quintile, the advisory fee waiver for subsequent quarters during the waiver period will be reduced only by an annualized rate of 0.05% of the Fund's average daily net assets, and if the Fund's trailing one-year total return performance at the end of any calendar quarter during the waiver period improves to the third or higher quintile of the Fund's Lipper peer group, the advisory fee reduction will be terminated effective the following business day. The advisory fee reduction is a voluntary undertaking and may be terminated by the Manager at any time.

Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service and Class 3 Shares and 1.00% for Service and Class 4 Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.

Effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive its advisory fee by 0.26% of the Fund's average daily net assets.  This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be withdrawn at any time.   

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Joseph Welsh, who is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. Mr. Welsh is a portfolio manager and Vice President of the Fund beginning April 1, 2009.

Mr. Welsh, CFA, has been the Head of the Manager's High Yield Corporate Debt Team since April 2009 and a Vice President of the Manager since December 2000. He was an Assistant Vice President of the Manager from December 1996 to November 2000 and a high yield bond analyst of the Manager from January 1995 to December 1996. He was a senior bond analyst with W.R. Huff Asset Management from November 1991 to December 1994. Mr. Welsh is a portfolio manager and officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio manager's compensation, other accounts he manages and his ownership of Fund shares.

INVESTING IN THE FUND 

How to Buy and Sell Shares

You may only submit instructions for buying or selling shares of the Fund to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Information about your investment in the Fund can only be obtained from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Fund's Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records.

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund currently offers 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 usually have different share prices. The Service Shares and Class 4 Shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. The expenses of that plan are described below. The Non-Service Shares and Class 3 Shares are not subject to a service and distribution plan.

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Fund shares are sold to participating insurance companies at their net asset value per share. The net asset value that applies to a purchase order is the next one calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. Fund shares are redeemed at the next net asset value calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form, less any applicable redemption fee. The Fund's Transfer Agent generally must receive the purchase or redemption order from the insurance company by 9:30 am Eastern Time on the next regular business day.

The Fund does not impose any sales charge on purchases of its shares. However, the Fund imposes a 1% redemption fee on the proceeds of Class 3 and Class 4 shares that are redeemed within 60 days of their purchase. If there are any charges imposed under the variable annuity, variable life or other contract through which Fund shares are purchased, they are described in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company. The participating insurance company's prospectus may also include information regarding the time you must submit your purchase and redemption orders.

The sale and redemption price for Fund shares will change from day to day because the value of the securities in its portfolio and its expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for different classes of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.

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 (the "NYSE"), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

The Fund determines the net assets of each class of shares by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of the Fund's liabilities attributable to the share class from the market value of the Fund's securities and other assets attributable to the share class. The Fund's "other assets" might include, for example, cash and interest or dividends from its portfolio securities that have been accrued but not yet collected. The Fund's securities are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.

The net asset value per share for each share class is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.

Fair Value Pricing. If market quotations are not readily available or (in the Manager's judgment) do not accurately reflect the fair value of a security, or if after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board believes would more accurately reflect the security's fair value.

In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities. It seeks to identify significant events that it believes, in good faith, will affect the market prices of the securities held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's "Valuation Committee." Those determinations may include consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security, developments in the markets and their performance, and current valuations of foreign or U.S. indices. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.

  Pricing Foreign Securities. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges. Because many foreign markets close hours before the Fund, values its foreign portfolio holdings, significant events, including broad market movements, may occur during that time that could potentially affect the values of foreign securities held by the Fund.

The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

 

HOW CAN YOU BUY FUND SHARES? Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. Individual investors cannot buy shares of the Fund directly. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on how to select the Fund as an investment option. That prospectus will indicate which share class you may be eligible to purchase.

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

HOW CAN YOU REDEEM FUND SHARES? Only the participating insurance companies that hold Fund shares in their separate accounts can place orders to redeem shares. Contract holders and policy holders should not directly contact the Fund or its transfer agent to request a redemption of Fund shares. The Fund normally sends payment by Federal Funds wire to the insurance company's account on the next business day after the Fund receives the order (and no later than seven days after the Fund's receipt of the order). Under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. Contract owners should refer to the withdrawal or surrender instructions in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company.

Redemption Fee. The Fund imposes a 1% redemption fee on Class 3 and Class 4 shares that are redeemed within 60 days of their purchase. The redemption fee is collected by the participating insurance company and paid to the Fund. It is intended to help offset the trading, market impact, and administrative costs associated with short-term transactions in Fund shares, and to help deter excessive short term trading. The redemption fee will only be imposed on the Class 3 or Class 4 shares you redeem that are more than the number of Class 3 or Class 4 shares you have held for more than 60 days. Shares held the longest will be redeemed first.

Limitations on Frequent Transactions


Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, may increase its transaction and administrative costs and may affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, and the aggregate dollar amount, the number and the frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in frequent redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading. If the Transfer Agent is not able to detect and curtail such activity, frequent trading could occur in the Fund.

Policies on Disruptive Activity

The Transfer Agent and the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, have entered into agreements with participating insurance companies designed to detect and restrict excessive short-term trading activity by contract or policy owners or their financial advisers in their accounts. The Transfer Agent generally does not consider periodic asset allocation or re-balancing that affects a portion of the Fund shares held in the account of a policy or contract owner to be "excessive trading." However, the Transfer Agent has advised participating insurance companies that it generally considers certain other types of trading activity to be "excessive," such as making a "transfer" out of the Fund within 30 days after buying Fund shares (by the sale of the recently purchased Fund shares and the purchase of shares of another fund) or making more than six "round-trip transfers" between funds during one year. The agreements require participating insurance companies to provide transaction information to the Fund and to execute Fund instructions to restrict trading in Fund shares.

 A participating insurance company may also have its own policies and procedures and may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term and/or excessive trading by its policy or contract owners. Those policies and procedures may be different from the Fund's in certain respects. You should refer to the prospectus for your insurance company variable annuity contract for specific information about the insurance company's policies. Under certain circumstances, policy or contract owners may be required to transmit purchase or redemption orders only by first class U.S. mail.

Monitoring the Policies. The Fund's policies and procedures for detecting and deterring frequent or excessive trading are administered by the Fund's Transfer Agent. However, the Transfer Agent presently does not have the ability to directly monitor trading activity in the accounts of policy or contract owners within the participating insurance companies' accounts. The Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in such insurance company accounts ultimately depends on the capability and diligence of each participating insurance company, under their agreements with the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Fund, in monitoring and controlling the trading activity of the policy or contract owners in the insurance company's accounts.

The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor the net effect on the Fund's assets from the purchase and redemption activity in the accounts of participating insurance companies and will seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the contract or policy owners who invest in the insurance company's accounts. If the Transfer Agent believes it has observed evidence of possible excessive trading activity, it will ask the participating insurance companies or other registered owners to provide information about the transaction activity of the contract or policy holders in their respective accounts, and to take appropriate action. In that case, the insurance company must confirm to the Transfer Agent that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the excessive trading activity.

The Transfer Agent will, subject to the limitations described in this section, limit or terminate the trading activity of any person, group or account that it believes would be excessive or disruptive. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect or curtail all such trading activity in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will evaluate trading activity on a case by case basis and the limitations placed on trading may vary between accounts.

Right to Refuse Purchase Orders. The Fund's Distributor or Transfer Agent may, in their discretion, refuse any purchase order and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

  

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS


Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares and Class 4 Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares and Class 4 Shares to pay the Distributor for distribution related services, personal services and account maintenance for those shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund's Service Shares and Class 4 Shares. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time they will increase the operating expenses of the Service Shares and Class 4 Shares and may cost you more than other types of fees or sales charges. As a result, the Service Shares and Class 4 Shares may have lower performance compared to the Fund's shares that are not subject to a service fee.

     Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate
sponsor(s) of the insurance product for providing personal services and account maintenance for variable contract owners that hold Service Shares and Class 4 Shares.

 

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to those firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include securities brokers, dealers or financial advisers, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

       Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends annually from any net investment income. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. Because of the higher expenses on Service Shares and Class 4 shares, the dividends and capital gains distributions paid on those shares will generally be lower than for other Fund shares.

Receiving Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares for the account of the participating insurance company, unless the insurance company elects to have dividends or distributions paid in cash.

 

TAXES. For a discussion of the tax status of a variable annuity contract, a variable life insurance policy or other investment product of a participating insurance company, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of your participating insurance company. Because shares of the Fund may be purchased only through insurance company separate accounts for variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other investment products, any dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term and long-term capital gains will be taxable, if at all, to the participating insurance company. Those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts, however.

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's financial performance for the past five fiscal years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund's financial statements, is included in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request. KPMG LLP has been appointed as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year end 2009. See the Statement of Additional Information for additional information.

ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks high total return from equity and debt securities.

 

THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.

What are "Larger Capitalization" Issuers? The Fund considers companies with assets in the top 70% of U.S. companies to be "larger-capitalization" (or "larger-cap") issuers.

The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies of different capitalization ranges based on analysis using multi-factor quantitative models. The Fund currently focuses on larger capitalization issuers.

 

HOW THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL. In selecting securities to buy or sell for the Fund, the Fund's portfolio managers use an investment process that uses multi-factor quantitative models to rank approximately 3,000 stocks on a daily basis. While the process may change over time or vary in particular cases, in general the selection process currently uses:
Multi-factor quantitative models: The Fund uses both "top down" and "bottom up" quantitative models.

  • The "top down" market capitalization model seeks to predict the future market direction of the capitalization environment. The portfolio managers divide the domestic equity market into several market-capitalization segments and market capitalization exposure is managed using proprietary modeling that incorporates factors such as relative price momentum and reversals, relative valuations and measures of investors' risk tolerance.
  • The "bottom up" stock selection models seek to rank securities within each capitalization range in order of attractiveness. More than a hundred company-specific factors are analyzed in constructing the "bottom up" models, including valuation, profitability, quality, momentum, volatility and special effects. Different models may be used for each of the different market capitalization segments. These models incorporate both macro-economic conditions and seasonal effects to attempt to predict the performance of the company-specific factors. 

Portfolio Construction: The portfolio is then constructed and continuously monitored based on the quantitative investment models. Security weightings are determined according to capitalization outlook, stock ranking and benchmark weighting. The Fund aims to maintain a broadly diversified portfolio that limits idiosyncratic company-specific risks and is scalable, efficient and adaptable.

 

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund's shares are available only as an investment option under certain variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies and investment plans offered through insurance company separate accounts of participating insurance companies. The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking high total return. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks described below. Because of its focus on long-term growth, the Fund may be more appropriate for investors with longer term investment goals. The Fund is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have some degree of risk. The value of the Fund's shares fluctuates as the value of the Fund's investments changes, and may decline. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or from more specific factors like those described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCK. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant volatility and may fall sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.

A variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company's stock and the prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time. These factors may include: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

 

                                  ____________________________

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is generally more aggressive than funds that invest in both stocks and bonds or in investment grade debt securities but may be less volatile than aggressive growth, small-cap or emerging markets stock funds.

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. The bar chart shows the yearly performance of the Fund's Non-Service Shares for the last 10 calendar years.


Charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart and if those charges were included, the returns may be less than those shown. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 14.13% (2nd qtr 03) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -22.18% (4th qtr 08).

The following table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Fund's shares before taxes compared to a broad-based market index. Because the Fund's Service Shares are subject to a service fee, their performance is expected to be lower than the performance of Non-Service Shares for any given period. The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Average Annual Total Returns for the periods ended December 31, 2008 1 Year 5 Years
(or life of
class, if less)
10 Years
(or life of
class, if less)
Non-Service Shares (inception 7-5-95) (38.47%) (3.03%) (1.27%)
Service Shares (inception 7-13-00) (38.63%) (3.28%) (4.33%)
S&P 500 Index (36.99%) (2.19%) (1.38%)1
(reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes) (3.76%)2

1. Ten Years
2. 6-30-00

The average annual total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account, without deducting charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. equity securities. The index performance includes income reinvestment but does not reflect any transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes.

The Fund's total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, even if both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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 Fund pays a variety of expenses for the management of its assets, administration and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay those expenses indirectly.

The numbers in the Table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, but have been restated to reflect the transfer agent fee changes described below as if those changes had been in effect during that entire fiscal year. Expenses may vary in future years.


Shareholder Fees.
The Fund does not charge an initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends. There are no redemption fees and no contingent deferred sales charges. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on initial or contingent deferred sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees for that variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product. Those charges and fees are not reflected in the tables below.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (deducted from Fund assets): (% of average daily net assets)
Non-Service Shares Service Shares
Management Fees 0.64% 0.64%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees None 0.25%
Other Expenses1 0.12% 0.12%
Total Annual Operating Expenses2 0.76% 1.01%

1. "Other expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays. Effective May 1, 2009 the Fund's transfer agent fee structure has changed. The "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" per the above table reflect the estimated annual effect of these contractual changes. Prior to May 1, 2009, the Transfer Agent had voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. For the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the transfer agent fees did not exceed that expense limitation. The actual "Other Expenses" as a percentage of the average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.02% for both Non-Service and Service Shares. The Fund also receives certain credits from the Fund's custodian that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reduced its custodial expenses for all share classes by less than 0.01% of average daily net assets.
2. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders. After all of the waivers and credits in effect during that period, the actual "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as a percentages of average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were 0.66% for Non-Service Shares and 0.91% for Service Shares. It is estimated that after giving effect to all of the current fee structures, waivers and credits, the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets would have been 0.76% for Non-Service Shares and 1.01% for Service Shares during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes 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 expenses for your variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product are not included and if they were included, overall expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Fund's expenses will vary over time and your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeemed your shares:

  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Non-Service Shares $78 $244 $424 $946
Service Shares $104 $323 $561 $1,242

In evaluating the Fund's expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets and issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer investment benefits to individuals without the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund's overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund's shareholders.

About the Fund's Investments

The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and 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 FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS.  The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

 

QUANTITATIVE MODELS. The portfolio managers use quantitative stock selection models that are based upon many factors that measure individual securities relative to each other. The portfolio managers typically use these models to rank more than 3,000 stocks on a daily basis and select those that they deem most attractive. The portfolio is continuously monitored by the portfolio managers based on their analysis of the quantitative tools and other qualitative factors.


COMMON STOCK.  Common stock represents an ownership interest in a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than exchange-traded securities.

 

DIVERSIFICATION AND CONCENTRATION.  The Fund is a diversified fund. It attempts to reduce its exposure to the risks of individual stocks by diversifying its investments across a broad number of different companies. The Fund will not concentrate more than 25% of its total assets in issuers in any one industry.  At times, however, the Fund may emphasize investments in some industries more than others.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.  The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

Special Portfolio Diversification Requirements. To enable a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract based on an insurance company separate account to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, the underlying investments must follow special diversification requirements that limit the percentage of assets that can be invested in securities of particular issuers. The Fund's investment program is managed to meet those requirements, in addition to other diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that apply to publicly-sold mutual funds.

Failure by the Fund to meet those special requirements could cause earnings on a contract owner's interest in an insurance company separate account to be taxable income. Those diversification requirements might also limit, to some degree, the Fund's investment decisions in a way that could reduce its performance.


Other Equity Securities.
  In addition to common stocks, the Fund can invest in other equity or "equity equivalents" securities such as preferred stocks or convertible securities. Preferred stocks have a set dividend rate and rank ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. A convertible security is one that can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible securities offer the Fund the ability to participate in stock market movements while also seeking some current income. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. The Fund considers some convertible securities to be "equity equivalents" because they are convertible into common stock. The credit ratings of those convertible securities generally have less impact on the investment decision, although they are still subject to credit and interest rate risk.

Debt Securities.

What is a Debt Security? A debt security is a security representing money borrowed by the issuer that must be repaid, specifying the amount of principal, the interest or discount rate, and the time or times at which payments are due.

The Fund does not focus on debt securities as a principal investment strategy, however debt securities are one of the other investments that the Fund may use. The Fund may invest in debt securities to seek income, for liquidity or for hedging purposes.
     The debt securities the Fund buys may be of any maturity. The Fund's debt securities may be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody's Investors Service or Standard Poor's Ratings Services or may be unrated. "Investment grade" refers to securities that are rated in one of the top four rating categories.

  • Interest Rate Risk. The values of debt securities usually 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. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more when interest rates change than the values of shorter-term debt securities.
  • Credit Risk. Debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make principal or interest payments on the security when they are due. If the issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income might be reduced, and if the issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the value of the security might fall.
  • Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower-grade debt securities, whether rated or unrated, have greater risks than investment-grade securities. They may be subject to greater price fluctuations and have a greater risk that the issuer might not be able to pay interest and principal when due. The market for lower-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore they may be harder to value or to sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.
  • 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. Although not rated, Treasury obligations have little credit risk but prior to their maturity are subject to interest rate risk.

Foreign Investing. The Fund can buy securities issued by companies or governments in any country, including in developing or emerging market countries. While there is no limit on the Fund's foreign investments, the Fund does not currently plan to invest a significant amount of its assets in securities of foreign issuers.

       While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, there are also special risks. A change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of the Fund's securities that are denominated in that foreign currency. Additionally, foreign issuers are usually 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 economic or monetary policy in the United States or abroad, or other political and economic factors.

The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that are traded on U.S. or foreign exchanges. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in securities that trade on foreign exchanges, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Manager and the Board believe to be their fair value, may help deter those activities.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different types of "derivative" investments. A derivative is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks.

The Fund may use derivatives to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.

       Options, futures, options on futures, indices, and forward contracts are some of the derivatives that the Fund may use. The Fund may also use other types of derivatives that are consistent with its investment strategies or hedging purposes.

Hedging. Hedging transactions are intended to reduce the risks of securities in the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, however, the hedge might be unsuccessful or could reduce the Fund's return or create a loss.

The Fund has percentage limits on its use of hedging instruments and is not required to use hedging instruments in seeking its objective.

Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Fund expects it to. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. The Fund may also lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer fails to pay the amount due.

Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as "illiquid" securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as "restricted securities." Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.

The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  The Manager monitors the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs") for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. The Fund's portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund's securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations.

The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

The Fund offers its shares to separate accounts of different insurance companies, as an investment for their variable annuity, variable life and other investment product contracts. While the Fund does not foresee any disadvantages to contract owners from these arrangements, it is possible that the interests of owners of different contracts participating in the Fund through different separate accounts might conflict. For example, a conflict could arise because of differences in tax treatment.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, rather than purchasing individual short-term investments, to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Fund cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments in which Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund invests or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund 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.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may, at times, have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.

 

CHANGES TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares; however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. 

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 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 Directors, 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 1960. The Manager and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

Advisory Fee. 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: the Fund pays 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, and 0.60% of average annual net assets over $800 million. The Fund's management fee for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, was 0.64% of the Fund's average annual net assets for each class of shares.

Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Marc Reinganum, Mark Zavanelli, and Wentong Alex Zhou, who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. Dr. Reinganum has been a Vice President and co-portfolio manager of the Fund since October 2003 and Mr. Zavanelli and Dr. Zhou are co-portfolio managers of the Fund since June 2008. 

Dr. Reinganum has been a Vice President of the Manager and Director of Quantitative Research and Portfolio Strategist for Equities since September 2002. He has been on the Board of Directors of The Quantitative Institute for Research in Finance since October 2008. He was the Mary Jo Vaughn Rauscher Chair in Financial Investments at Southern Methodist University from 1995 to 2002. At Southern Methodist University he also served as the Director of the Finance Institute, the Chairman of the Finance Department, the President of the Faculty at the Cox School of Business and a member of the Board of Trustees Investment Committee. He is a portfolio manager and an officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

Mr. Zavanelli has been a Vice President of the Manager since November 2000. He is an officer of 3 portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex. Prior to joining the Manager in May 1998, Mr. Zavanelli was President of Waterside Capital Management, a registered investment advisor from August 1995 through April 1998. He is a portfolio manager and an officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

Dr. Zhou, CFA, has been a senior quantitative analyst of the Manager since June 1999, assisting in the management and maintenance of the quantitative models for the Main Street Funds. He has been a portfolio manager of the Manager since January 2007 and an Assistant Vice President of the Manager since 2001.  He is a portfolio manager of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio managers' compensation, other accounts they manage and their ownership of Fund shares.

INVESTING IN THE FUND 

How to Buy and Sell Shares

You may only submit instructions for buying or selling shares of the Fund to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Information about your investment in the Fund can only be obtained from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Fund's Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records.

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund currently offers two 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 usually have different share prices. The Service Shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. The expenses of that plan are described below. The Non-Service Shares are not subject to a service and distribution plan.

 

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Fund shares are sold to participating insurance companies at their net asset value per share. The net asset value that applies to a purchase order is the next one calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. Fund shares are redeemed at the next net asset value calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. The Fund's Transfer Agent generally must receive the purchase or redemption order from the insurance company by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next regular business day.

 The Fund does not impose any sales charge on purchases of its shares. If there are any charges imposed under the variable annuity, variable life or other contract through which Fund shares are purchased, they are described in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company. The participating insurance company's prospectus may also include information regarding the time you must submit your purchase and redemption orders.

The sale and redemption price for Fund shares will change from day to day because the value of the securities in its portfolio and its expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for different classes of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.

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 (the "NYSE"), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

The Fund determines the net assets of each class of shares by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of the Fund's liabilities attributable to the share class from the market value of the Fund's securities and other assets attributable to the share class. The Fund's "other assets" might include, for example, cash and interest or dividends from its portfolio securities that have been accrued but not yet collected. The Fund's securities are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.

The net asset value per share for each share class is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.

Fair Value Pricing. If market quotations are not readily available or (in the Manager's judgment) do not accurately reflect the fair value of a security, or if after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board believes would more accurately reflect the security's fair value.

In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities. It seeks to identify significant events that it believes, in good faith, will affect the market prices of the securities held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's "Valuation Committee." Those determinations may include consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security, developments in the markets and their performance, and current valuations of foreign or U.S. indices. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.

  Pricing Foreign Securities. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges. Because many foreign markets close hours before the Fund, values its foreign portfolio holdings, significant events, including broad market movements, may occur during that time that could potentially affect the values of foreign securities held by the Fund.

The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

 

HOW CAN YOU BUY FUND SHARES? Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. Individual investors cannot buy shares of the Fund directly. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on how to select the Fund as an investment option. That prospectus will indicate which share class you may be eligible to purchase.

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

HOW CAN YOU REDEEM FUND SHARES? Only the participating insurance companies that hold Fund shares in their separate accounts can place orders to redeem shares. Contract holders and policy holders should not directly contact the Fund or its transfer agent to request a redemption of Fund shares. The Fund normally sends payment by Federal Funds wire to the insurance company's account on the next business day after the Fund receives the order (and no later than seven days after the Fund's receipt of the order). Under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. Contract owners should refer to the withdrawal or surrender instructions in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company.

 

Redemptions "In-Kind." Shares may be "redeemed in-kind" under certain circumstances (such as redemptions of substantial amounts of shares by shareholders that have consented to such in kind redemptions). That means that the redemption proceeds will be paid to the participating insurance companies in securities from the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund redeems shares in-kind, the insurance company accounts may bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such securities are converted into cash.

 

Limitations on Frequent Transactions


 

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, may increase its transaction and administrative costs and may affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, and the aggregate dollar amount, the number and the frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in frequent redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading. If the Transfer Agent is not able to detect and curtail such activity, frequent trading could occur in the Fund.

Policies on Disruptive Activity

The Transfer Agent and the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, have entered into agreements with participating insurance companies designed to detect and restrict excessive short-term trading activity by contract or policy owners or their financial advisers in their accounts. The Transfer Agent generally does not consider periodic asset allocation or re-balancing that affects a portion of the Fund shares held in the account of a policy or contract owner to be "excessive trading." However, the Transfer Agent has advised participating insurance companies that it generally considers certain other types of trading activity to be "excessive," such as making a "transfer" out of the Fund within 30 days after buying Fund shares (by the sale of the recently purchased Fund shares and the purchase of shares of another fund) or making more than six "round-trip transfers" between funds during one year. The agreements require participating insurance companies to provide transaction information to the Fund and to execute Fund instructions to restrict trading in Fund shares.

 A participating insurance company may also have its own policies and procedures and may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term and/or excessive trading by its policy or contract owners. Those policies and procedures may be different from the Fund's in certain respects. You should refer to the prospectus for your insurance company variable annuity contract for specific information about the insurance company's policies. Under certain circumstances, policy or contract owners may be required to transmit purchase or redemption orders only by first class U.S. mail.

Monitoring the Policies. The Fund's policies and procedures for detecting and deterring frequent or excessive trading are administered by the Fund's Transfer Agent. However, the Transfer Agent presently does not have the ability to directly monitor trading activity in the accounts of policy or contract owners within the participating insurance companies' accounts. The Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in such insurance company accounts ultimately depends on the capability and diligence of each participating insurance company, under their agreements with the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Fund, in monitoring and controlling the trading activity of the policy or contract owners in the insurance company's accounts.

The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor the net effect on the Fund's assets from the purchase and redemption activity in the accounts of participating insurance companies and will seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the contract or policy owners who invest in the insurance company's accounts. If the Transfer Agent believes it has observed evidence of possible excessive trading activity, it will ask the participating insurance companies or other registered owners to provide information about the transaction activity of the contract or policy holders in their respective accounts, and to take appropriate action. In that case, the insurance company must confirm to the Transfer Agent that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the excessive trading activity.

The Transfer Agent will, subject to the limitations described in this section, limit or terminate the trading activity of any person, group or account that it believes would be excessive or disruptive. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect or curtail all such trading activity in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will evaluate trading activity on a case by case basis and the limitations placed on trading may vary between accounts.

Right to Refuse Purchase Orders. The Fund's Distributor or Transfer Agent may, in their discretion, refuse any purchase order and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

  

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS


Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares to pay the Distributor for distribution related services, personal services and account maintenance for those shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund's Service Shares. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time they will increase the operating expenses of the Service Shares and may cost you more than other types of fees or sales charges. As a result, the Service Shares may have lower performance compared to the Fund's shares that are not subject to a service fee.

     Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product for providing personal services and account maintenance for variable contract owners that hold Service Shares.

 

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to those firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include securities brokers, dealers or financial advisers, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

       Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends annually from any net investment income. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. Because of the higher expenses on Service Shares, the dividends and capital gains distributions paid on those shares will generally be lower than for other Fund shares.

Receiving Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares for the account of the participating insurance company, unless the insurance company elects to have dividends or distributions paid in cash.

 

TAXES. For a discussion of the tax status of a variable annuity contract, a variable life insurance policy or other investment product of a participating insurance company, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of your participating insurance company. Because shares of the Fund may be purchased only through insurance company separate accounts for variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other investment products, any dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term and long-term capital gains will be taxable, if at all, to the participating insurance company. Those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts, however.

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

Financial Highlights

ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

 

THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.

What is "Market Capitalization"? A company's "market capitalization" is the value of its outstanding common stock. Relative to other companies, a company may be classified as small-cap, mid-cap or large-cap.

The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of small-capitalization U.S. companies based on analysis using multi-factor quantitative models. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, including any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of companies having a small market capitalization.
The Fund defines small capitalization or "small-cap" issuers as companies with market capitalizations less than or equal to the largest company in the Russell 2000 ("Russell 2000") or the S&P Small Cap 600 ("S&P 600") index. The capitalization of the largest company in the Russell 2000 or S&P 600 index is currently $3.5 billion but that is subject to change due to market activity or changes in the composition of the indices.

The Fund measures a company's capitalization at the time the Fund buys a security and is not required to sell a security if the company's capitalization exceeds the Fund's definition of a small cap issuer.

 

HOW THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL. In selecting securities to buy or sell for the Fund, the Fund's portfolio managers use an investment process that uses multi-factor quantitative models to rank approximately 3,000 stocks on a daily basis. While the process may change over time or vary in particular cases, in general the selection process currently uses:
Multi-factor quantitative models: The Fund uses both "top down" and "bottom up" quantitative models.

  • The "top down" market capitalization model seeks to predict the future market direction of the capitalization environment. The portfolio managers divide the domestic equity market into several market-capitalization segments and market capitalization exposure is managed using proprietary modeling that incorporates factors such as relative price momentum and reversals, relative valuations and measures of investors' risk tolerance.
  • The "bottom up" stock selection models seek to rank securities within each capitalization range in order of attractiveness. More than a hundred company-specific factors are analyzed in constructing the "bottom up" models, including valuation, profitability, quality, momentum, volatility and special effects. Different models may be used for each of the different market capitalization segments. These models incorporate both macro-economic conditions and seasonal effects to attempt to predict the performance of the company-specific factors. 

Portfolio Construction: The portfolio is then constructed and continuously monitored based on the quantitative investment models. Security weightings are determined according to capitalization outlook, stock ranking and benchmark weighting. The Fund aims to maintain a broadly diversified portfolio that limits idiosyncratic company-specific risks and is scalable, efficient and adaptable.

 

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund's shares are available only as an investment option under certain variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies and investment plans offered through insurance company separate accounts of participating insurance companies. The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking capital appreciation over the long term. Those investors should be willing to assume the greater risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund focusing on small-cap stocks. Because of its focus on long-term growth, the Fund may be more appropriate for investors with longer term investment goals. The Fund it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have some degree of risk. The value of the Fund's shares fluctuates as the value of the Fund's investments changes, and may decline. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or from more specific factors like those described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCK. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant volatility and may fall sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.

A variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company's stock and the prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time. These factors may include: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular industry or sector. To the extent that the Fund increases its emphasis on stocks in a particular industry, the value of its investments may fluctuate more in response to events affecting that industry, such as changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry more than others.

 

RISKS OF SMALL-CAP COMPANIES. Small-cap companies may be either established or newer companies, including "unseasoned" companies that have been in operation for less than three years. While smaller companies might offer greater opportunities for gain than larger companies, they also involve greater risk of loss. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company's earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements than larger companies. Smaller companies' securities often trade in lower volumes and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Small-cap companies may not have established markets for their products or services and may have fewer customers and product lines. They may have more limited access to financial resources and may not have the financial strength to sustain them through business downturns or adverse market conditions. Since smaller companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may lack liquidity in a declining market, particularly if they are newer companies. Small-cap companies may have unseasoned management or less depth in management skill than larger, more established companies. They may be more reliant on the efforts of particular members of their management team and management changes may pose a greater risk to the success of the business. It may take a substantial period of time before the Fund realizes a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-sized company, if it realizes any gain at all.

Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. The Fund may invest in the securities of small, unseasoned companies that have been in operation for less than three years. In addition to the risks of other small-sized issuers, the price of the securities of these companies may be particularly volatile, especially in the short term, and may have very limited liquidity. Securities of smaller, newer companies are also subject to greater risks of default than those of larger, more established issuers.

     Price Arbitrage. Because the Fund may invest in smaller company stocks that might trade infrequently, investors might seek to trade fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of those securities (this is sometimes referred to as "price arbitrage"). If such price arbitrage were successful, it might interfere with the efficient management of the Fund's portfolio and the Fund may be required to sell securities at disadvantageous times or prices to satisfy the liquidity requirements created by that activity. Successful price arbitrage might also dilute the value of fund shares held by other shareholders.

                              ____________________________________

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. In the OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is an aggressive investment vehicle, designed for investors willing to assume the risks of investing in small-cap companies in the hope of achieving greater gains. In the short term, the stock market and small-cap stocks can be volatile. The Fund may be subject to greater fluctuations in its share prices than funds that emphasize large capitalization stocks or funds that focus on both stocks and fixed-income securities.

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. The bar chart shows the yearly performance of the Fund's Non-Service Shares for the last 10 calendar years.


Charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart and if those charges were included, the returns may be less than those shown. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was  49.05% (4th qtr 99) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -27.25% (4th qtr 08).

The following table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Fund's shares before taxes compared to a broad-based market index. Because the Fund's Service Shares are subject to a service fee, their performance is expected to be lower than the performance of Non-Service Shares for any given period. The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Average Annual Total Returns for the periods ended December 31, 2008 1 Year 5 Years
(or life of
class, if less)
10 Years
(or life of
class, if less)
Non-Service Shares (inception 5-1-98) (37.83%) (1.50%) 3.01%

Russell 2000 Index (33.79%) (0.93%) (1.38%)1
(reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes) 1.70%2

1. Ten Years
2. From 7/31/01

The average annual total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account, without deducting charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities of small capitalization companies that is a measure of the small company market. The index performance includes income reinvestment but does not reflect any transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes.

The Fund's total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, even if both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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 Fund pays a variety of expenses for the management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay those expenses indirectly.

The numbers in the Table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, but have been restated to reflect the transfer agent fee changes described below as if those changes had been in effect during that entire fiscal year. Expenses may vary in future years.


Shareholder Fees.
The Fund does not charge an initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends. There are no redemption fees and no contingent deferred sales charges. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on initial or contingent deferred sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees for that variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product. Those charges and fees are not reflected in the tables below.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (deducted from Fund assets): (% of average daily net assets)
Non-Service Shares Service Shares
Management Fees 0.69% 0.69%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees None 0.25%
Other Expenses1 0.15% 0.15%
Total Annual Operating Expenses2 0.84% 1.09%

1.  "Other expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays. Effective May 1, 2009 the Fund's transfer agent fee structure has changed. The "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" per the above table reflect the estimated annual effect of these contractual changes. Prior to May 1, 2009, the Transfer Agent had voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. For the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the transfer agent fees did not exceed that expense limitation. The actual "Other Expenses" as a percentage of the average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.06% for Non-Service Shares and 0.05% for Service Shares. The Fund also receives certain credits from the Fund's custodian that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reduced its custodial expenses for all share classes by less than 0.01% of average daily net assets.
2.  Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders. After all of the waivers and credits in effect during that period, the actual "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as a percentages of average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were 0.75% for Non-Service Shares and 0.99% for Service Shares. It is estimated that after giving effect to all of the current fee structures, waivers and credits, the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets would have been 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes 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 expenses for your variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product are not included and if they were included, overall expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Fund's expenses will vary over time and your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeemed your shares:

1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Non-Service Shares $86 $269 $468 $1,041
Service Shares $112 $348 $604 $1,336

In evaluating the Fund's expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets and issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer investment benefits to individuals without the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund's overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund's shareholders.

About the Fund's Investments

The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and 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 FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS.  The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

 

QUANTITATIVE MODELS. The portfolio managers use quantitative stock selection models that are based upon many factors that measure individual securities relative to each other. The portfolio managers typically use these models to rank more than 3,000 stocks on a daily basis and select those that they deem most attractive. The portfolio is continuously monitored by the portfolio managers based on their analysis of the quantitative tools and other qualitative factors.


COMMON STOCK.  Common stock represents an ownership interest in a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. Common stocks may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Over-the-counter securities may be less liquid than exchange-traded securities.

SMALL-CAP COMPANIES. The Fund invests mainly in the common stock of small cap companies. The small-cap companies in which the Fund invests may include companies that are developing new products or services with relatively favorable prospects, or that are expanding into new and growing markets. That may enable them to capture a dominant or important market position. Some small-cap companies may have a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in market or demographic factors in a more profitable way than larger, more established companies.

 

DIVERSIFICATION AND CONCENTRATION.  The Fund is a diversified fund. It attempts to reduce its exposure to the risks of individual stocks by diversifying its investments across a broad number of different companies. The Fund will not concentrate more than 25% of its total assets in issuers in any one industry.  At times, however, the Fund may emphasize investments in some industries more than others.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.  The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

Special Portfolio Diversification Requirements. To enable a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract based on an insurance company separate account to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, the underlying investments must follow special diversification requirements that limit the percentage of assets that can be invested in securities of particular issuers. The Fund's investment program is managed to meet those requirements, in addition to other diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that apply to publicly-sold mutual funds.

Failure by the Fund to meet those special requirements could cause earnings on a contract owner's interest in an insurance company separate account to be taxable income. Those diversification requirements might also limit, to some degree, the Fund's investment decisions in a way that could reduce its performance.

Other Capitalization Ranges. If the Manager believes they offer opportunities for growth, up to 20% of the Fund's assets may be invested in securities of mid-cap and large-cap companies.


Other Equity Securities.
  In addition to common stocks, the Fund can invest in other equity or "equity equivalents" securities such as preferred stocks or convertible securities. Preferred stocks have a set dividend rate and rank ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. A convertible security is one that can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible securities offer the Fund the ability to participate in stock market movements while also seeking some current income. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. The Fund considers some convertible securities to be "equity equivalents" because they are convertible into common stock. The credit ratings of those convertible securities generally have less impact on the investment decision, although they are still subject to credit and interest rate risk.

Risks of Foreign Investing. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements as U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. A change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency and of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and economic factors.

     Time-Zone Arbitrage. The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that are traded in U.S. or foreign markets. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in securities traded in foreign markets, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Fund and the Board believe to be their fair value, may help deter those activities.

Special Risks of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs). The Fund has no limit on the amount of its assets that can be invested in IPOs. By definition, securities issued in IPOs have not traded publicly until the time of their offerings. Special risks associated with IPOs may include, among others, the fact that there may be only a limited number of shares available for trading. The market for those securities may be unseasoned. The issuer may have a limited operating history. These factors may contribute to price volatility. The limited number of shares available for trading in some IPOs may also make it more difficult for the Fund to buy or sell significant amounts of shares without an unfavorable impact on prevailing prices. In addition, some companies initially offering their shares publicly are involved in relatively new industries or lines of business, which may not be widely understood by investors. Some of the companies involved in new industries may be regarded as developmental stage companies, without revenues or operating income, or the near-term prospects of them. Many IPOs are by small- or micro-cap companies that are undercapitalized.

Typically the Fund invests less than 5% of its assets in unseasoned companies.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different types of "derivative" investments. A derivative is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks.

The Fund may use derivatives to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.

       Options, futures, options on futures and forward contracts are some of the derivatives that the Fund may use. The Fund may also use other types of derivatives that are consistent with its investment strategies or hedging purposes.

The Fund has percentage limits on its use of hedging instruments and is not required to use hedging instruments in seeking its objective.

Hedging. Hedging transactions are intended to reduce the risks of securities in the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, however, the hedge might be unsuccessful or could reduce the Fund's return or create a loss.

Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Fund expects it to. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. The Fund may also lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer fails to pay the amount due.

Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as "illiquid" securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as "restricted securities." Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.

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%. The Manager monitors the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs") for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. The Fund's portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund's securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations.

Loans of portfolio securities are limited to not more than 25% of the value of the Fund's net assets.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

The Fund offers its shares to separate accounts of different insurance companies, as an investment for their variable annuity, variable life and other investment product contracts. While the Fund does not foresee any disadvantages to contract owners from these arrangements, it is possible that the interests of owners of different contracts participating in the Fund through different separate accounts might conflict. For example, a conflict could arise because of differences in tax treatment.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, rather than purchasing individual short-term investments, to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Fund cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments in which Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund invests or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund 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.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may, at times, have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.

 

CHANGES TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares, however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. Shareholders will receive 60 days advance notice of any change in the 80% investment policy described in "The Fund's Main Investment Strategies." The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. 

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 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 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary managed funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

Advisory Fee. 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: the Fund pays 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, and 0.60% of average annual net assets over $800 million. The Fund's management fee for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, was 0.69% of the Fund's average annual net assets for each class of shares.

Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Mark Zavanelli and Marc Reinganum, who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. Mr. Zavanelli has been a Vice President and co-portfolio manager of the Fund since August 1999 and Dr. Reinganum is co-portfolio manager of the Fund effective June 30, 2008.

Mr. Zavanelli has been a Vice President of the Manager since November 2000. He is an officer of 3 portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex. Prior to joining the Manager in May 1998, Mr. Zavanelli was President of Waterside Capital Management, a registered investment advisor from August 1995 through April 1998. He is a portfolio manager and an officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

Dr. Reinganum has been a Vice President of the Manager and Director of Quantitative Research and Portfolio Strategist for Equities since September 2002. He has been on the Board of Directors of The Quantitative Institute for Research in Finance since October 2008. He was the Mary Jo Vaughn Rauscher Chair in Financial Investments at Southern Methodist University from 1995 to 2002. At Southern Methodist University he also served as the Director of the Finance Institute, the Chairman of the Finance Department, the President of the Faculty at the Cox School of Business and a member of the Board of Trustees Investment Committee. He is a portfolio manager and an officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio managers' compensation, other accounts they manage and their ownership of Fund shares.

INVESTING IN THE FUND 

How to Buy and Sell Shares

You may only submit instructions for buying or selling shares of the Fund to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Information about your investment in the Fund can only be obtained from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Fund's Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records.

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund currently offers two 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 usually have different share prices. The Service Shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. The expenses of that plan are described below. The Non-Service Shares are not subject to a service and distribution plan.

 

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Fund shares are sold to participating insurance companies at their net asset value per share. The net asset value that applies to a purchase order is the next one calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. Fund shares are redeemed at the next net asset value calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. The Fund's Transfer Agent generally must receive the purchase or redemption order from the insurance company by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next regular business day.

 The Fund does not impose any sales charge on purchases of its shares. If there are any charges imposed under the variable annuity, variable life or other contract through which Fund shares are purchased, they are described in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company. The participating insurance company's prospectus may also include information regarding the time you must submit your purchase and redemption orders.

The sale and redemption price for Fund shares will change from day to day because the value of the securities in its portfolio and its expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for different classes of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.

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 (the "NYSE"), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

The Fund determines the net assets of each class of shares by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of the Fund's liabilities attributable to the share class from the market value of the Fund's securities and other assets attributable to the share class. The Fund's "other assets" might include, for example, cash and interest or dividends from its portfolio securities that have been accrued but not yet collected. The Fund's securities are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.

The net asset value per share for each share class is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.

Fair Value Pricing. If market quotations are not readily available or (in the Manager's judgment) do not accurately reflect the fair value of a security, or if after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board believes would more accurately reflect the security's fair value.

In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities. It seeks to identify significant events that it believes, in good faith, will affect the market prices of the securities held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's "Valuation Committee." Those determinations may include consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security, developments in the markets and their performance, and current valuations of foreign or U.S. indices. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.

  Pricing Foreign Securities. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges. Because many foreign markets close hours before the Fund, values its foreign portfolio holdings, significant events, including broad market movements, may occur during that time that could potentially affect the values of foreign securities held by the Fund.

The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

 

HOW CAN YOU BUY FUND SHARES? Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. Individual investors cannot buy shares of the Fund directly. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on how to select the Fund as an investment option. That prospectus will indicate which share class you may be eligible to purchase.

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

HOW CAN YOU REDEEM FUND SHARES? Only the participating insurance companies that hold Fund shares in their separate accounts can place orders to redeem shares. Contract holders and policy holders should not directly contact the Fund or its transfer agent to request a redemption of Fund shares. The Fund normally sends payment by Federal Funds wire to the insurance company's account on the next business day after the Fund receives the order (and no later than seven days after the Fund's receipt of the order). Under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. Contract owners should refer to the withdrawal or surrender instructions in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company.

 

Limitations on Frequent Transactions


 

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, may increase its transaction and administrative costs and may affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, and the aggregate dollar amount, the number and the frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in frequent redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading. If the Transfer Agent is not able to detect and curtail such activity, frequent trading could occur in the Fund.

Policies on Disruptive Activity

The Transfer Agent and the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, have entered into agreements with participating insurance companies designed to detect and restrict excessive short-term trading activity by contract or policy owners or their financial advisers in their accounts. The Transfer Agent generally does not consider periodic asset allocation or re-balancing that affects a portion of the Fund shares held in the account of a policy or contract owner to be "excessive trading." However, the Transfer Agent has advised participating insurance companies that it generally considers certain other types of trading activity to be "excessive," such as making a "transfer" out of the Fund within 30 days after buying Fund shares (by the sale of the recently purchased Fund shares and the purchase of shares of another fund) or making more than six "round-trip transfers" between funds during one year. The agreements require participating insurance companies to provide transaction information to the Fund and to execute Fund instructions to restrict trading in Fund shares.

 A participating insurance company may also have its own policies and procedures and may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term and/or excessive trading by its policy or contract owners. Those policies and procedures may be different from the Fund's in certain respects. You should refer to the prospectus for your insurance company variable annuity contract for specific information about the insurance company's policies. Under certain circumstances, policy or contract owners may be required to transmit purchase or redemption orders only by first class U.S. mail.

Monitoring the Policies. The Fund's policies and procedures for detecting and deterring frequent or excessive trading are administered by the Fund's Transfer Agent. However, the Transfer Agent presently does not have the ability to directly monitor trading activity in the accounts of policy or contract owners within the participating insurance companies' accounts. The Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in such insurance company accounts ultimately depends on the capability and diligence of each participating insurance company, under their agreements with the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Fund, in monitoring and controlling the trading activity of the policy or contract owners in the insurance company's accounts.

The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor the net effect on the Fund's assets from the purchase and redemption activity in the accounts of participating insurance companies and will seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the contract or policy owners who invest in the insurance company's accounts. If the Transfer Agent believes it has observed evidence of possible excessive trading activity, it will ask the participating insurance companies or other registered owners to provide information about the transaction activity of the contract or policy holders in their respective accounts, and to take appropriate action. In that case, the insurance company must confirm to the Transfer Agent that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the excessive trading activity.

The Transfer Agent will, subject to the limitations described in this section, limit or terminate the trading activity of any person, group or account that it believes would be excessive or disruptive. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect or curtail all such trading activity in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will evaluate trading activity on a case by case basis and the limitations placed on trading may vary between accounts.

Right to Refuse Purchase Orders. The Fund's Distributor or Transfer Agent may, in their discretion, refuse any purchase order and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

  

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS


Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares to pay the Distributor for distribution related services, personal services and account maintenance for those shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund's Service Shares. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time they will increase the operating expenses of the Service Shares and may cost you more than other types of fees or sales charges. As a result, the Service Shares may have lower performance compared to the Fund's shares that are not subject to a service fee.

     Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product for providing personal services and account maintenance for variable contract owners that hold Service Shares.

 

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to those firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include securities brokers, dealers or financial advisers, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

       Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends annually from any net investment income. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. Because of the higher expenses on Service Shares, the dividends and capital gains distributions paid on those shares will generally be lower than for other Fund shares.

Receiving Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares for the account of the participating insurance company, unless the insurance company elects to have dividends or distributions paid in cash.

 

TAXES. For a discussion of the tax status of a variable annuity contract, a variable life insurance policy or other investment product of a participating insurance company, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of your participating insurance company. Because shares of the Fund may be purchased only through insurance company separate accounts for variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other investment products, any dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term and long-term capital gains will be taxable, if at all, to the participating insurance company. Those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts, however.

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

Financial Highlights

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

ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks capital appreciation by investing in "growth type" companies.

 

THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.

What is "Market Capitalization"? A company's "market capitalization" is the value of its outstanding common stock. Relative to other companies, a company may be classified as small-cap, mid-cap or large-cap.

The Fund mainly invests in equity securities, such as common stocks, preferred stocks, and convertible securities that the portfolio manager expects to have above-average growth rates. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities of "mid-cap" companies. Under normal market conditions the Fund can invest up to 20% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in stocks of companies in other market capitalizations, if the Manager believes they offer opportunities for growth.

The Fund primarily invests in U.S. companies

What are "Mid-Cap" Companies? The Fund considers companies with market capitalizations between $2 billion and $11.5 billion to be mid-cap companies.


but may also purchase securities of issuers in any country, including developed countries and emerging 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.

 

HOW THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER DECIDES WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL. In selecting securities, the Fund's portfolio manager looks for companies with high growth potential using a "bottom-up" stock selection process. The "bottom-up" approach focuses on fundamental analysis of individual issuers before considering the impact of overall economic, market or industry trends. This approach includes analysis of a company's financial statements and management structure and consideration of the company's operations and product development, as well as its position in its industry. The portfolio manager looks for companies with revenues growing at above-average rates that might support and sustain above-average earnings. The portfolio manager also evaluates other business and economic factors, including cyclical factors, that might contribute to the company's stock appreciation.

The Fund's portfolio manager currently focuses on companies with the following characteristics, which may vary in particular cases and may change over time:

  • Companies with market capitalization between $2 billion and $11.5 billion;
  • An above-average rate of high quality growth that the portfolio manager believes is sustainable;
  • Experienced management teams with proven records;
  • Industry leaders with competitive advantages;
  • Companies with strong financials including low debt.

The portfolio manager monitors individual issuers for changes in business fundamentals and valuation. If the portfolio manager notes a slowdown in the company's internal revenue growth or earnings growth or a negative movement in the company's fundamental economic condition, and if there are other investment alternatives that offer what he believes to be better appreciation possibilities, he will consider selling that stock.

 

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund's shares are available only as an investment option under certain variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies and investment plans offered through insurance company separate accounts of participating insurance companies. The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking capital appreciation over the long term. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations and losses that are typical for a growth fund focusing on mid-cap stock investments. Because of its focus on long-term growth, the Fund may be appropriate for investors with longer term investment goals. 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. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have some degree of risk. The value of the Fund's shares fluctuates as the value of the Fund's investments changes, and may decline. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or from more specific factors like those described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCK. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant volatility and may fall sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.

A variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company's stock and the prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time. These factors may include: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular industry or sector. To the extent that the Fund increases its emphasis on stocks in a particular industry, the value of its investments may fluctuate more in response to events affecting that industry, such as changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry more than others.

 

SPECIAL RISKS OF MID-CAP COMPANIES. Mid-cap companies are generally companies that have completed their initial start-up cycle. While mid-cap companies might offer greater opportunities for gain than larger companies, they also involve greater risk of loss. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company's earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements than larger companies. Mid-cap companies' securities are often traded in over-the-counter markets and therefore may be less liquid than stocks of larger exchange-traded issuers, meaning it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of those holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Mid-cap companies may have less established markets for their products or services and may have fewer customers and product lines than larger companies. They may have more limited access to financial resources and may not have the financial strength to sustain them through business downturns or adverse market conditions. Since mid-cap companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. Mid-cap companies may have unseasoned management or less depth in management skill than larger, more established companies. They may be more reliant on the efforts of particular members of their management team and management changes may pose a greater risk to the success of the business. Securities of unseasoned companies may be particularly volatile, especially in the short term and in periods of market instability. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a mid-cap company, if any gain is realized at all.

 

RISKS OF GROWTH INVESTING. If a growth company's earnings or stock price fails to increase as anticipated, or if its business plans do not produce the expected results, its securities may decline sharply. Growth companies may be newer or smaller companies that may experience greater stock price fluctuations and risks of loss than larger, more established companies. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Therefore, they may not pay any dividends for some time. Growth investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when growth investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, it may be more difficult to sell growth company securities at an acceptable price. Growth stocks may also be more volatile than other securities because of investor speculation.

 

RISKS OF TECHNOLOGY STOCKS. Technology companies and companies having significant investments in technology are particularly vulnerable to the risks of technology markets and economic events that affect those markets. The technology sector has historically exhibited great fluctuation in valuations. The stock prices of technology companies have been highly volatile, largely due to the rapid pace of product changes and developments within the sector. That price volatility may be expected to continue into the future.

Some technological developments may never become commercially successful or may rapidly become obsolete. Technologies that are dependent on consumer demand may also be more sensitive to changes in consumer spending patterns. Technology companies focusing on the information and telecommunications sectors may be adversely affected by international, federal and state regulations.

     __________________________________________________

 

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. The Fund is an aggressive investment vehicle, and in the short term, its share prices can be expected to be volatile. The Fund is designed for investors willing to assume greater risks of investments in the equity securities of mid-cap companies in the hope of achieving long-term capital appreciation. The Fund generally does not use income-oriented investments to help cushion the Fund's return from changes in stock prices. The Fund is likely to be subject to greater fluctuations in its share prices than funds that emphasize large capitalization stocks or that invest in 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. The bar chart shows the yearly performance of the Fund's Non-Service Shares for the last 10 calendar years.


Charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart and if those charges were included, the returns may be less than those shown. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 45.84% (4th qtr 99) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -32.43% (4th qtr 08).

The following table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Fund's shares before taxes compared to two broad-based market indices. Because the Fund's Service Shares are subject to a service fee, their performance is expected to be lower than the performance of Non-Service Shares for any given period. The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

2. From 10-31-00

The average annual total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account, without deducting charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market and the Russell Midcap® Growth Index, an unmanaged index of medium-capitalization domestic growth stocks. The index performance includes income reinvestment but does not reflect any transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund's investments vary from those in the indices.

The Fund's total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, even if both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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 Fund pays a variety of expenses for the management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay those expenses indirectly.

The numbers in the Table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, but have been restated to reflect the transfer agent fee changes described below as if those changes had been in effect during that entire fiscal year. Expenses may vary in future years.


Shareholder Fees.
The Fund does not charge an initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends. There are no redemption fees and no contingent deferred sales charges. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on initial or contingent deferred sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees for that variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product. Those charges and fees are not reflected in the tables below.

Other Expenses2 0.11% 0.10%
Total Annual Operating Expenses3 0.81% 1.05%

1.  Effective September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee rate by 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets if the Fund's trailing one-year total return performance is in the fourth or fifth quintile of the Fund's Lipper peer group as of August 31, 2008. However, if the Fund's trailing one-year total return performance, as measured at the end of any subsequent calendar quarter during this waiver period, improves to the third or higher quintile of the Fund's Lipper peer group, the advisory fee reduction will be terminated effective the following business day. In addition, effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive its advisory fee by 0.09% of the Fund's average daily net assets. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers. These advisory fee reductions are voluntary undertakings and may be terminated by the Manager at any time.
2. "Other expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and audit and legal expenses that the Fund pays. Effective May 1, 2009 the Fund's transfer agent fee structure has changed. The "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" per the above table reflect the estimated annual effect of these contractual changes. Prior to May 1, 2009, the Transfer Agent had voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. For the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the transfer agent fees did not exceed that expense limitation. The actual "Other Expenses" as a percentage of the average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.01% for Non-Service Shares and 0.03% for Service Shares. The Fund also receives certain credits from the Fund's custodian that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reduced its custodial expenses for all share classes by less than 0.01% of average daily net assets.      
3.  Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% of Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders. After all of the waivers and credits in effect during that period, the actual "Total Annual Operating Expenses", as percentages of average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.68% for Non-Service Shares and 0.95% for Service Shares. It is estimated that after giving effect to all of the current fees, waivers and credits, the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets would have been 0.71% for Non-Service Shares and 0.96% for Service Shares during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes 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 expenses for your variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product are not included and if they were included, overall expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Fund's expenses will vary over time and your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeemed your shares:

  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Non-Service Shares $83 $260 $451 $1,006
Service Shares $108 $336 $582 $1,289

In evaluating the Fund's expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets and issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer investment benefits to individuals without the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund's overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund's shareholders.

About the Fund's Investments

The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and 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 FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS.  The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

 

MID-CAP INVESTMENTS. Mid-cap companies are generally companies that have completed their initial start-up cycle, and in many cases have established markets and developed seasoned management teams. The portfolio manager searches for stocks of mid-cap companies that have the financial stability approximating that of larger companies and the high growth potential associated with smaller companies. The portfolio manager will not normally invest in stocks of companies in "turnaround" situations until the company's operating characteristics have improved.

The Fund measures the market capitalization of an issuer at the time of investment. Because the relative sizes of companies change over time as the stock market changes, the Fund's definition of what is a "mid-cap" company may change over time as well. After the Fund buys their stock, individual companies may grow and no longer fall within the Fund's definition of a "mid-cap" issuer. Although the Fund is not required to sell the stock of companies whose market capitalizations have grown beyond the Fund's mid-cap definition, it might sell some of those holdings to try to lower the dollar-weighted median capitalization of its portfolio. That might cause the Fund to realize capital gains on the investment and could increase taxable distributions to shareholders.

 

INVESTING IN GROWTH COMPANIES. Growth companies are companies whose earnings and stock prices are expected to grow at a faster rate than the overall market. Growth companies can be new companies or established companies that may be entering a growth cycle in their business. Their anticipated growth may come from developing new products or services or from expanding into new or growing markets. Growth companies may be applying new technologies, new or improved distribution methods or new business models that could enable them to capture an important or dominant market position. They may have a special area of expertise or the ability to take advantage of changes in demographic or other factors in a more profitable way. Newer growth companies tend to retain a large part of their earnings for research, development or investments in capital assets. Although newer growth companies may not pay any dividends for some time, their stocks may be valued because of their potential for price increases. Current examples include companies in the fields of telecommunications, computer software, and new consumer products.

 

OTHER EQUITY SECURITIES. In addition to common stocks, the Fund can invest in other equity or "equity equivalents" securities such as preferred stocks or convertible securities. Preferred stocks have a set dividend rate and rank ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. A convertible security is one that can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible securities offer the Fund the ability to participate in stock market movements while also seeking some current income. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. The Fund considers some convertible securities to be "equity equivalents" because they are convertible into common stock. The credit ratings of those convertible securities generally have less impact on the investment decision, although they are still subject to credit and interest rate risk.

The Fund will not invest more than 5% of its net assets in convertible securities that are rated below investment-grade by a nationally recognized rating organization.

 

INVESTING IN SMALL, UNSEASONED COMPANIES. The Fund can invest in the securities of small, unseasoned companies. These are companies that have been in operation for less than three years, including the operations of any predecessors. In addition to the other risks of small and mid-sized issuers, these securities may have a very limited trading market, making it harder for the Fund to sell them at an acceptable price. The price of these securities may be very volatile, especially in the short term.

 

CYCLICAL OPPORTUNITIES. At times, the Fund might seek to take advantage of short-term market movements or changes in the business cycle by investing in companies or industries that are sensitive to those changes. For example, when the economy is expanding, companies in consumer durables and the technology sector might benefit. There is a risk that if a cyclical event does not have the anticipated effect, or when the issuer or industry is out of phase in the business cycle, the value of the Fund's investment could fall.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.  The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

Special Portfolio Diversification Requirements. To enable a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract based on an insurance company separate account to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, the underlying investments must follow special diversification requirements that limit the percentage of assets that can be invested in securities of particular issuers. The Fund's investment program is managed to meet those requirements, in addition to other diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that apply to publicly-sold mutual funds.

Failure by the Fund to meet those special requirements could cause earnings on a contract owner's interest in an insurance company separate account to be taxable income. Those diversification requirements might also limit, to some degree, the Fund's investment decisions in a way that could reduce its performance.

Diversification and Concentration. The Fund is a diversified fund. It attempts to reduce its exposure to the risks of individual stocks by diversifying its investments across a broad number of different companies. The Fund will not concentrate more than 25% of its total assets in issuers in any one industry. At times, however, the Fund may emphasize investments in some industries more than others.

Risks of Foreign Investing. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements as U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. A change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency and of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and economic factors.

     Time-Zone Arbitrage. The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that are traded in U.S. or foreign markets. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in securities traded in foreign markets, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Manager and the Board believe to be their fair value, may help deter those activities.

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.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different types of "derivative" investments. A derivative is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks.

The Fund may use derivatives to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.

Options, futures and forward contracts are some of the types of derivatives the Fund can use. The Fund may also use other types of derivatives that are consistent with its investment strategies or for hedging purposes.

The Fund has percentage limits on its use of hedging instruments and is not required to use hedging instruments in seeking its objective.

Hedging. Hedging transactions are intended to reduce the risks of securities in the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, however, the hedge might be unsuccessful or could reduce the Fund's return or create a loss.

Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Fund expects it to. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. The Fund may also lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer fails to pay the amount due.

Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as "illiquid" securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as "restricted securities." Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.

The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  The Manager monitors the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs") for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. The Fund's portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund's securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations.

The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

The Fund offers its shares to separate accounts of different insurance companies, as an investment for their variable annuity, variable life and other investment product contracts. While the Fund does not foresee any disadvantages to contract owners from these arrangements, it is possible that the interests of owners of different contracts participating in the Fund through different separate accounts might conflict. For example, a conflict could arise because of differences in tax treatment.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, rather than purchasing individual short-term investments, to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Fund cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments in which Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund invests or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund 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.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.

 

CHANGES TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares, however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. Shareholders will receive 60 days advance notice of any change in the 80% investment policy described in "The Fund's Main Investment Strategies." The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. 

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 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 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary managed funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

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, 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 over $1.5 billion. The Fund's management fee for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, was 0.70% of the Fund's average annual net assets for each class of shares.

Effective September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee rate by 0.10% of the Fund's average daily net assets if the Fund's trailing one-year total return performance is in the fourth or fifth quintile of the Fund's Lipper peer group as of August 31, 2008. However, if the Fund's trailing one-year total return performance, as measured at the end of any subsequent calendar quarter during this waiver period, improves to the third or higher quintile of the Fund's Lipper peer group, the advisory fee reduction will be terminated effective the following business day. This advisory fee reduction is a voluntary undertaking and may be terminated by the Manager at any time.

Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% of Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.

Effective April 1, 2009 through March 31, 2010, the Manager has agreed to voluntarily waive its advisory fee by 0.09% of the Fund's average daily net assets. This voluntary waiver will be applied after all other waivers and/or reimbursements and may be withdrawn at any time.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Portfolio Manager. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Ronald J. Zibelli, Jr. who is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. Mr. Zibelli has been a portfolio manager and Vice President of the Fund since November 2008. 

Mr. Zibelli has been a Vice President of the Manager since May 2006. Prior to joining the Manager, he spent six years at Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, during which time he was a Managing Director and Small Cap Growth Team Leader, responsible for managing 11 portfolios. Prior to joining Merrill Lynch Investment Managers, Mr. Zibelli spent 12 years with Chase Manhattan Bank, including two years as Senior Portfolio Manager (U.S. Small Cap Equity) at Chase Asset Management. Mr. Zibelli is a portfolio manager and officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio manager's compensation, other accounts he manages and his ownership of Fund shares.

INVESTING IN THE FUND 

How to Buy and Sell Shares

You may only submit instructions for buying or selling shares of the Fund to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Information about your investment in the Fund can only be obtained from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Fund's Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records.

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund currently offers two 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 usually have different share prices. The Service Shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. The expenses of that plan are described below. The Non-Service Shares are not subject to a service and distribution plan.

 

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Fund shares are sold to participating insurance companies at their net asset value per share. The net asset value that applies to a purchase order is the next one calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. Fund shares are redeemed at the next net asset value calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. The Fund's Transfer Agent generally must receive the purchase or redemption order from the insurance company by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next regular business day.

 The Fund does not impose any sales charge on purchases of its shares. If there are any charges imposed under the variable annuity, variable life or other contract through which Fund shares are purchased, they are described in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company. The participating insurance company's prospectus may also include information regarding the time you must submit your purchase and redemption orders.

The sale and redemption price for Fund shares will change from day to day because the value of the securities in its portfolio and its expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for different classes of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.

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 (the "NYSE"), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

The Fund determines the net assets of each class of shares by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of the Fund's liabilities attributable to the share class from the market value of the Fund's securities and other assets attributable to the share class. The Fund's "other assets" might include, for example, cash and interest or dividends from its portfolio securities that have been accrued but not yet collected. The Fund's securities are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.

The net asset value per share for each share class is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.

Fair Value Pricing. If market quotations are not readily available or (in the Manager's judgment) do not accurately reflect the fair value of a security, or if after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board believes would more accurately reflect the security's fair value.

In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities. It seeks to identify significant events that it believes, in good faith, will affect the market prices of the securities held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's "Valuation Committee." Those determinations may include consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security, developments in the markets and their performance, and current valuations of foreign or U.S. indices. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.

  Pricing Foreign Securities. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges. Because many foreign markets close hours before the Fund, values its foreign portfolio holdings, significant events, including broad market movements, may occur during that time that could potentially affect the values of foreign securities held by the Fund.

The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

 

HOW CAN YOU BUY FUND SHARES? Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. Individual investors cannot buy shares of the Fund directly. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on how to select the Fund as an investment option. That prospectus will indicate which share class you may be eligible to purchase.

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

HOW CAN YOU REDEEM FUND SHARES? Only the participating insurance companies that hold Fund shares in their separate accounts can place orders to redeem shares. Contract holders and policy holders should not directly contact the Fund or its transfer agent to request a redemption of Fund shares. The Fund normally sends payment by Federal Funds wire to the insurance company's account on the next business day after the Fund receives the order (and no later than seven days after the Fund's receipt of the order). Under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. Contract owners should refer to the withdrawal or surrender instructions in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company.

 

Limitations on Frequent Transactions


 

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, may increase its transaction and administrative costs and may affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, and the aggregate dollar amount, the number and the frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in frequent redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading. If the Transfer Agent is not able to detect and curtail such activity, frequent trading could occur in the Fund.

Policies on Disruptive Activity

The Transfer Agent and the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, have entered into agreements with participating insurance companies designed to detect and restrict excessive short-term trading activity by contract or policy owners or their financial advisers in their accounts. The Transfer Agent generally does not consider periodic asset allocation or re-balancing that affects a portion of the Fund shares held in the account of a policy or contract owner to be "excessive trading." However, the Transfer Agent has advised participating insurance companies that it generally considers certain other types of trading activity to be "excessive," such as making a "transfer" out of the Fund within 30 days after buying Fund shares (by the sale of the recently purchased Fund shares and the purchase of shares of another fund) or making more than six "round-trip transfers" between funds during one year. The agreements require participating insurance companies to provide transaction information to the Fund and to execute Fund instructions to restrict trading in Fund shares.

 A participating insurance company may also have its own policies and procedures and may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term and/or excessive trading by its policy or contract owners. Those policies and procedures may be different from the Fund's in certain respects. You should refer to the prospectus for your insurance company variable annuity contract for specific information about the insurance company's policies. Under certain circumstances, policy or contract owners may be required to transmit purchase or redemption orders only by first class U.S. mail.

Monitoring the Policies. The Fund's policies and procedures for detecting and deterring frequent or excessive trading are administered by the Fund's Transfer Agent. However, the Transfer Agent presently does not have the ability to directly monitor trading activity in the accounts of policy or contract owners within the participating insurance companies' accounts. The Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in such insurance company accounts ultimately depends on the capability and diligence of each participating insurance company, under their agreements with the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Fund, in monitoring and controlling the trading activity of the policy or contract owners in the insurance company's accounts.

The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor the net effect on the Fund's assets from the purchase and redemption activity in the accounts of participating insurance companies and will seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the contract or policy owners who invest in the insurance company's accounts. If the Transfer Agent believes it has observed evidence of possible excessive trading activity, it will ask the participating insurance companies or other registered owners to provide information about the transaction activity of the contract or policy holders in their respective accounts, and to take appropriate action. In that case, the insurance company must confirm to the Transfer Agent that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the excessive trading activity.

The Transfer Agent will, subject to the limitations described in this section, limit or terminate the trading activity of any person, group or account that it believes would be excessive or disruptive. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect or curtail all such trading activity in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will evaluate trading activity on a case by case basis and the limitations placed on trading may vary between accounts.

Right to Refuse Purchase Orders. The Fund's Distributor or Transfer Agent may, in their discretion, refuse any purchase order and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

  

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS


Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares to pay the Distributor for distribution related services, personal services and account maintenance for those shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund's Service Shares. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time they will increase the operating expenses of the Service Shares and may cost you more than other types of fees or sales charges. As a result, the Service Shares may have lower performance compared to the Fund's shares that are not subject to a service fee.

     Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product for providing personal services and account maintenance for variable contract owners that hold Service Shares.

 

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to those firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include securities brokers, dealers or financial advisers, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

       Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends annually from any net investment income. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. Because of the higher expenses on Service Shares, the dividends and capital gains distributions paid on those shares will generally be lower than for other Fund shares.

Receiving Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares for the account of the participating insurance company, unless the insurance company elects to have dividends or distributions paid in cash.

 

TAXES. For a discussion of the tax status of a variable annuity contract, a variable life insurance policy or other investment product of a participating insurance company, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of your participating insurance company. Because shares of the Fund may be purchased only through insurance company separate accounts for variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other investment products, any dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term and long-term capital gains will be taxable, if at all, to the participating insurance company. Those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts, however.

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's financial performance for the past five fiscal years. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). This information has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Fund's independent registered public accounting firm, whose report, along with the Fund's financial statements, is included in the Statement of Additional Information, which is available upon request. KPMG LLP has been appointed as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year end 2009. See the Statement of Additional Information for additional information.

ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks maximum current income from investments in "money market" securities consistent with low capital risk and the maintenance of liquidity.

 

THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.

What are "Money Market Instruments"? Money market instruments are short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated debt instruments issued by the U.S. government, domestic and foreign corporations and financial institutions, and other entities.

The Fund is a money market fund that invests in a variety of money market instruments to seek current income. Money market instruments include bank obligations, repurchase agreements, commercial paper, and other short-term corporate and governmental debt obligations.
To be considered "high-quality," a debt instrument must be rated in one of the two highest credit-quality categories for short-term securities by nationally-recognized rating services or, if a security is unrated, it must be determined by the Fund's investment manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the "Manager"), under the supervision of the Fund's Board, to be of comparable quality to rated securities in one of those two categories.

 

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund's shares are available only as an investment option under certain variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies and investment plans offered through insurance company separate accounts of participating insurance companies. The Fund is designed for investors who want to earn income at money market rates while maintaining easy access to their investment and seeking to preserve its value. The Fund will invest in a variety of money market instruments to seek current income and stability of principal and to try to maintain a stable share price of $1.00. Since income on short-term securities tends to be lower than income on longer term debt securities, the Fund's yield will likely be lower than the yield on longer-term fixed income funds. The Fund does not invest for the purpose of seeking capital appreciation or gains and is not a complete investment program.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments carry risks to some degree. The Fund's investments are subject to changes in their value from a number of factors. However, the Fund's investments must meet strict standards set by its Board and special rules under Federal law for money market funds. Those requirements include maintaining high credit quality, a short average maturity and diversification of the Fund's investments among issuers. Those provisions are designed to minimize credit risks, to reduce the effects of changes in prevailing interest rates and to reduce the effect on the Fund's portfolio of a default by any one issuer.

Even so, there are risks that an issuer of an obligation that the Fund holds might have its credit rating downgraded or might default on its obligations, or that interest rates might rise sharply, causing the value of the Fund's investments to fall. If there is an unexpectedly high demand for the redemption of Fund shares, the Fund might need to sell portfolio securities prior to their maturity, possibly at a loss. As a result, there is a risk that the Fund's shares could fall below $1.00 per share. Also, there is the risk that the value of your investment could be eroded over time by the effects of inflation, or that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds that have a similar objective. The rate of the Fund's income will vary from day-to-day, generally reflecting changes in short-term interest rates and in the fixed-income securities market. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

 

INTEREST RATE RISK. The values of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the Fund's investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund's income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change.

 

CREDIT RISK. Debt securities are also subject to credit risk, which is the risk that the issuer of a security might not make principal or interest payments on the security when they are due. If the issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income might be reduced, and if the issuer fails to pay interest or repay principal, the value of the security might fall.

 

FIXED INCOME MARKET RISKS. Recent developments relating to subprime mortgages have adversely affected fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. The values of many types of debt securities have been reduced, including debt securities that are not related to mortgage loans. These developments have reduced the willingness of some lenders to extend credit and have made it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms or at all. In addition, broker-dealers and other market participants have been less willing to make a market in some types of debt instruments, which has impacted the liquidity of those instruments. These developments may also have a negative effect on the broader economy. There is a risk that the lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund's ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.

 

               ____________________________________________

The rate of the Fund's income will vary from day to day, generally reflecting changes in short-term interest rates and in the fixed-income securities market. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

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. Although the Fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the Fund.

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. The bar chart shows the yearly performance of the Fund's Shares for the last 10 calendar years.


Charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart and if those charges were included, the returns may be less than those shown. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 1.59% (2nd qtr 00) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 0.17% (3rd & 4th qtrs 03; 2nd qtr 04).

The following table shows the average annual total returns of the Fund's shares . The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Average Annual Total Returns for the periods ended December 31, 2008 1 Year 5 Years
10 Years
Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA
Non-Service Shares (inception 4-3-85) 2.78% 3.25% 3.35%

The average annual total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account, without deducting charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares.

The Fund's total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, even if both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.

The total returns are not the Fund's current yield. The Fund's yield more closely reflects the Fund's current earnings. To obtain the Fund's current 7-day yield information, please call the Transfer Agent toll-free at 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677).

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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 Fund pays expenses for management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay those expenses indirectly.

The numbers in the Table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, but have been restated to reflect the transfer agent fee changes described below as if those changes had been in effect during that entire fiscal year. Expenses may vary in future years.


Shareholder Fees.
The Fund does not charge an initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends. There are no redemption fees and no contingent deferred sales charges. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on initial or contingent deferred sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees for that variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product. Those charges and fees are not reflected in the tables below.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (deducted from Fund assets): (% of average daily net assets)
Management Fees1 0.45%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees None
Other Expenses2 0.14%
Total Annual Operating Expenses3 0.59%

1.  The Manager has voluntarily undertaken to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to assist the Fund in attempting to maintain a positive yield. There is no guarantee that the Fund will maintain a positive yield. That undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
2.  "Other expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays. Effective May 1, 2009 the Fund's transfer agent fee structure has changed. The "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" per the above table reflect the estimated annual effect of these contractual changes. Prior to May 1, 2009, the Transfer Agent had voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. For the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the transfer agent fees did not exceed that expense limitation. The actual "Other Expenses" as a percentage of the average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.05%.
3.  Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.50%. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders. After all of the waivers and credits in effect during that period, the actual "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as a percentages of average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were 0.50%. It is estimated that after giving effect to all of the current fee structures, waivers and credits, the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses," would not have changed as percentages of average daily net assets.

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes that you invest $10,000 in shares of the Fund for the time periods indicated and reinvest your dividends and distributions. The expenses for your variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product are not included and if they were included, overall expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Fund's expenses will vary over time and your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeemed your shares:

If shares are redeemed or not redeemed 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Non-Service Shares $60 $190 $330 $740

In evaluating the Fund's expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets and issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer investment benefits to individuals without the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund's overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund's shareholders.

About the Fund's Investments

The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and 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 FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS.  The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

 

MONEY MARKET INSTRUMENTS. The Fund invests in securities meeting the quality, maturity, diversification and other standards that apply to money market funds under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"). Money market instruments are high-quality, short-term, dollar-denominated debt instruments. They may have fixed, variable or floating interest rates. All of the Fund's money market investments must meet the requirements of the Investment Company Act and the special standards set by the Fund's Board. The following is a brief description of the types of money market instruments the Fund may invest in.

  • U.S. Government Securities. These include obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities. Some are direct obligations of the U.S. Treasury and are supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. Securities issued by some agencies and instrumentalities of the Government are also supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Securities issued by certain other U.S. Government agencies or instrumentalities are supported only by the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury and some are supported only by the credit of the particular instrumentality.
  • Bank Obligations. The Fund can buy bank obligations including time deposits, certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances, including dollar denominated obligations of foreign banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks or foreign branches of U.S. banks. These obligations must be denominated in U.S. dollars, even if issued by a foreign bank or branch.
  • Obligations of Foreign Banks and Foreign Branches of U.S. Banks. These securities have investment risks different from obligations of domestic branches of U.S. banks. Risks that may affect a foreign bank's or branch's ability to pay its debt include:
    •political and economic developments in the country in which the bank or
    branch is located,
    •imposition of withholding taxes on interest income payable on the securities,
    •seizure or nationalization of foreign deposits,
    •the establishment of exchange control regulations, or
    •the adoption of other governmental restrictions that might affect the payment of principal and interest on those securities.
    Additionally, not all of the U.S. and state banking laws and regulations that apply to domestic banks and branches apply to foreign branches of U.S. banks. Those U.S. and state regulations also generally do not apply to foreign banks.
  • Commercial Paper. Commercial paper is a short-term, unsecured promissory note of a domestic or foreign company or other financial firm. The Fund may buy commercial paper.
  • Corporate Debt Obligations. The Fund can invest in other short-term corporate debt obligations, besides commercial paper.
  • Floating Rate and Variable Rate Notes. The Fund can purchase notes with floating or variable interest rates. Variable interest rates are adjustable at stated periodic intervals. Floating interest rates are adjusted automatically according to a specified market rate or benchmark, such as the prime rate of a bank. If the maturity of a note is greater than 397 days, it may be purchased only if it has a demand feature. That feature must permit the Fund to recover the principal amount of the note on not more than thirty days' notice at any time, or at specified times not exceeding 397 days from purchase.
  • Asset-Backed Securities. The Fund can invest in asset-backed investments. These are fractional interests in pools of consumer loans and other trade receivables, which are the obligations of a number of different parties. The income from the underlying pool is passed through to investors, such as the Fund. These investments might be supported by a credit enhancement, such as a letter of credit, a guarantee or a preference right. However, the credit enhancement typically applies only to a fraction of the security's value. If the issuer of the security has no security interest in the related collateral, there is the risk that the Fund could lose money if the issuer defaults.
  • Guaranteed Obligations. The Fund may invest in obligations other than those listed above if they are guaranteed as to their principal and interest by a corporation whose commercial paper may be purchased by the Fund or by a domestic bank. The bank must meet credit criteria set by the Fund's Board of Trustees.
  • Other Money Market Instruments. The Fund may also buy other money market instruments that its Board approves from time to time. They must be U.S. dollar-denominated short-term investments that the Manager must determine to have minimal credit risks.

 

CREDIT QUALITY, MATURITY AND DIVERSIFICATION STANDARDS. The Fund's investments must meet standards set by the Board and the standards prescribed for money market funds under the Investment Company Act.

     Credit Quality. In general, the Fund buys only "high-quality" investments that the Manager believes present minimal credit risk at the time of purchase. Those investments must be:

  • rated in one of the two highest short-term rating categories by two nationally-recognized rating organizations, or
  • if only one rating organization has rated the investment, rated in one of that rating organization's two highest rating categories, or
  • unrated investments that the Manager, subject to the supervision of the Fund's Board, determines are comparable in quality to instruments rated in the two highest rating categories. The Manager may consider certain guarantees, letters of credit or other credit enhancements when making this determination.

Instruments rated in the second highest rating category may not represent more than 5% of the Fund's total assets.

     Maturity. A security's maturity must not exceed 397 days (13 months) at the time of purchase, unless if they are subject to repurchase agreements or demand features that permit the Fund to recover the principal amount of the security on not more than thirty days' notice at any time, or at specified times not exceeding 397 days from purchase. The Fund must maintain a dollar-weighted average portfolio maturity of not more than 90 days.

     Diversification. The Fund generally may not invest more than 5% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer in the highest short-term credit rating category or more than 1% of its total assets in the securities of any one issuer in the second highest short-term credit rating category. This limitation does not apply to securities issued by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.  The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may also enter into repurchase agreements. In a repurchase transaction, the Fund buys a security and simultaneously sells it back to the vendor for delivery at a future date. Repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized. However, if the vendor fails to pay the repurchase 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 Fund will not enter into a repurchase agreement that will cause more than 10% of its net assets to be subject to repurchase agreements maturing in more than 7 days. There is no limit on the amount of the Fund's net assets that may be subject to repurchase agreements of 7 days or less.

Special Portfolio Diversification Requirements. To enable a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract based on an insurance company separate account to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, the underlying investments must follow special diversification requirements that limit the percentage of assets that can be invested in securities of particular issuers. The Fund's investment program is managed to meet those requirements, in addition to other diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that apply to publicly-sold mutual funds.

Failure by the Fund to meet those special requirements could cause earnings on a contract owner's interest in an insurance company separate account to be taxable income. Those diversification requirements might also limit, to some degree, the Fund's investment decisions in a way that could reduce its performance.

Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult for the Fund to evaluate a foreign issuer's operations or financial condition. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and economic factors.

Illiquid Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as "illiquid" securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as "restricted securities." Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.

The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in illiquid or restricted securities.  The Manager monitors the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.

Share Reduction Risk. Share reduction risk is the risk that, under certain circumstances, the Fund may need to reduce the number of shares held by each shareholder in order to maintain a $1.00 net asset value per share.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

The Fund offers its shares to separate accounts of different insurance companies, as an investment for their variable annuity, variable life and other investment product contracts. While the Fund does not foresee any disadvantages to contract owners from these arrangements, it is possible that the interests of owners of different contracts participating in the Fund through different separate accounts might conflict. For example, a conflict could arise because of differences in tax treatment.

 

CHANGES TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares; however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. 

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 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 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary manage funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

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: the Fund pays 0.450% of the first $500 million of average annual net assets, 0.425% of the next $500 million, 0.400% of the next $500 million, and 0.375% of average annual net assets in excess of $1.5 billion. The Fund's management fee for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, was 0.45% of the Fund's average annual net assets.
The Manager has voluntarily undertaken to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to assist the Fund in attempting to maintain a positive yield.  There is no guarantee that the Fund will maintain a positive yield.  That undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.50%. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.
A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Portfolio Manager. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Carol E. Wolf who is primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. She has been a Vice President and a portfolio manager of the Fund since July 1998.

Ms. Wolf has been a Senior Vice President of the Manager since September 2000 and of HarbourView Asset Management Corporation since June 2003. She was Vice President of the Manager from June 1990 through June 2000. Ms. Wolf is an officer and portfolio manager of other funds for which the Manager or an affiliate serves as investment adviser.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio manager's compensation, other accounts she manages and her ownership of Fund shares.

INVESTING IN THE FUND 

How to Buy and Sell Shares

You may only submit instructions for buying or selling shares of the Fund to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Information about your investment in the Fund can only be obtained from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Fund's Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records.

 

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER?  The Fund currently offers only one class of shares. That class of shares has no class "name" designation, but is referred to in this prospectus as "Non-Service" shares. The Fund has three additional classes of shares authorized which are not currently offered for sale. There are no outstanding shares of any of those share classes.

 

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Fund shares are sold to participating insurance companies at their net asset value per share. The net asset value per share will normally remain fixed at $1.00 per share. However, there is no guarantee that the Fund will maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. Shares are also redeemed at their net asset value per share. The net asset value that applies to a purchase or redemption order is the next one calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. The Fund's Transfer Agent generally must receive the purchase or redemption order from the insurance company by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next regular business day.

The Fund does not impose any sales charge on purchases of its shares. If there are any charges imposed under the variable annuity, variable life or other contract through which Fund shares are purchased, they are described in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company. The participating insurance company's prospectus may also include information regarding the time you must submit your purchase and redemption orders.

Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value per share as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, but may close earlier on some days.

Under a policy adopted by the Fund's Board of Trustees, the Fund uses the amortized cost method to value its securities to determine net asset value, subject to the Board's review. A security's valuation may differ depending on the method used for determining value.

The net asset value per share is determined by dividing the Fund's net assets by the number of outstanding shares.

Fair Value Pricing. If after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security, that seucrity may be valued by another method that the Board believes would more accurately reflect the security's fair value. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security.

Foreign Securities. Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

 

HOW CAN YOU BUY FUND SHARES? Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. Individual investors cannot buy shares of the Fund directly. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on how to select the Fund as an investment option. That prospectus will indicate which share class you may be eligible to purchase.

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

HOW CAN YOU REDEEM FUND SHARES? Only the participating insurance companies that hold Fund shares in their separate accounts can place orders to redeem shares. Contract holders and policy holders should not directly contact the Fund or its transfer agent to request a redemption of Fund shares. The Fund normally sends payment by Federal Funds wire to the insurance company's account on the next business day after the Fund receives the order (and no later than seven days after the Fund's receipt of the order). Under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. Contract owners should refer to the withdrawal or surrender instructions in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company.

 

Limitations on Frequent Transactions


 

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, may increase its transaction and administrative costs and may affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, and the aggregate dollar amount, the number and the frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in frequent redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading. If the Transfer Agent is not able to detect and curtail such activity, frequent trading could occur in the Fund.

Policies on Disruptive Activity

The Transfer Agent and the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, have entered into agreements with participating insurance companies designed to detect and restrict excessive short-term trading activity by contract or policy owners or their financial advisers in their accounts. The Transfer Agent generally does not consider periodic asset allocation or re-balancing that affects a portion of the Fund shares held in the account of a policy or contract owner to be "excessive trading." However, the Transfer Agent has advised participating insurance companies that it generally considers certain other types of trading activity to be "excessive," such as making a "transfer" out of the Fund within 30 days after buying Fund shares (by the sale of the recently purchased Fund shares and the purchase of shares of another fund) or making more than six "round-trip transfers" between funds during one year. The agreements require participating insurance companies to provide transaction information to the Fund and to execute Fund instructions to restrict trading in Fund shares.

 A participating insurance company may also have its own policies and procedures and may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term and/or excessive trading by its policy or contract owners. Those policies and procedures may be different from the Fund's in certain respects. You should refer to the prospectus for your insurance company variable annuity contract for specific information about the insurance company's policies. Under certain circumstances, policy or contract owners may be required to transmit purchase or redemption orders only by first class U.S. mail.

Monitoring the Policies. The Fund's policies and procedures for detecting and deterring frequent or excessive trading are administered by the Fund's Transfer Agent. However, the Transfer Agent presently does not have the ability to directly monitor trading activity in the accounts of policy or contract owners within the participating insurance companies' accounts. The Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in such insurance company accounts ultimately depends on the capability and diligence of each participating insurance company, under their agreements with the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Fund, in monitoring and controlling the trading activity of the policy or contract owners in the insurance company's accounts.

The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor the net effect on the Fund's assets from the purchase and redemption activity in the accounts of participating insurance companies and will seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the contract or policy owners who invest in the insurance company's accounts. If the Transfer Agent believes it has observed evidence of possible excessive trading activity, it will ask the participating insurance companies or other registered owners to provide information about the transaction activity of the contract or policy holders in their respective accounts, and to take appropriate action. In that case, the insurance company must confirm to the Transfer Agent that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the excessive trading activity.

The Transfer Agent will, subject to the limitations described in this section, limit or terminate the trading activity of any person, group or account that it believes would be excessive or disruptive. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect or curtail all such trading activity in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will evaluate trading activity on a case by case basis and the limitations placed on trading may vary between accounts.

Right to Refuse Purchase Orders. The Fund's Distributor or Transfer Agent may, in their discretion, refuse any purchase order and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

  

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS


Distribution and Service Plan. The Fund has not adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for the Non-Service shares offered in this prospectus.

 

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to those firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include securities brokers, dealers or financial advisers, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

       Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare dividends from net investment income each regular business day and to pay those dividends monthly. To maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share, the Fund might withhold dividends or make distributions from capital or capital gains. Daily dividends will not be declared or paid on newly purchased shares until Federal Funds are available to the Fund from the purchase payment for such shares.
The Fund normally holds its securities to maturity and therefore will not usually pay capital gains distributions. The Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, however, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Receiving Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares for the account of the participating insurance company, unless the insurance company elects to have dividends or distributions paid in cash.

 

TAXES. For a discussion of the tax status of a variable annuity contract, a variable life insurance policy or other investment product of a participating insurance company, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of your participating insurance company. Because shares of the Fund may be purchased only through insurance company separate accounts for variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other investment products, any dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term and long-term capital gains will be taxable, if at all, to the participating insurance company. Those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts, however.

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks a high level of current income principally derived from interest on debt securities.

 

THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 80% of its net assets, including any borrowings for investment purposes, in debt securities. The Fund invests mainly in debt securities of issuers in three market sectors:

  • Foreign governments and companies,
  • U.S. Government securities, and
  • Lower rated high-yield securities of U.S. and foreign companies (commonly referred to as "junk bonds").



What is a Debt Security? A debt security is a security representing money borrowed by the issuer that must be repaid, specifying the amount of principal, the interest or discount rate, and the time or times at which payments are due.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests in each of the three market sectors. However, the Fund is not required to invest in all three sectors at all times, and the amount of its assets in each of the three sectors will vary over time. The Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in any one sector at any time, if the Fund's portfolio managers believe that the Fund can achieve its objective without undue risk. The Fund's foreign investments may include debt securities of issuers in both developed or emerging markets. The Fund has no requirements regarding the range of maturities of the debt securities it can buy or the market capitalization of the issuers of those securities.

The Fund's investments typically include:

  • Foreign and U.S. Government bonds and notes,
  • Collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs),
  • Other mortgage-related securities,
  • Lower-grade, high-yield domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations,
  • "Structured" notes,
  • Participation interests in loans and investments in loan pools,
  • Asset-backed securities.

The Fund's debt securities may be rated by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody's Investors Service ("Moody's") or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard &Poor's") or may be unrated. Lower-grade debt securities are those rated below "Baa" by  Moody's or below "BBB" by Standard & Poor's or that have comparable ratings from other nationally-recognized rating organizations. Additionally, unrated debt securities may be determined to be comparable to securities rated below investment grade by the Manager. The Fund can buy investment-grade securities, although it normally invests a substantial part of its assets in debt securities below investment-grade, and can do so without limit.

The Fund also uses certain types of derivative instruments for investment purposes or hedging including: options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, certain mortgage-related securities and "structured" notes.

 

HOW THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL. In selecting securities, the Fund's portfolio managers analyze the overall investment opportunities and risks among the three sectors in which the Fund invests. The portfolio managers seek to build a broadly diversified portfolio to try to moderate the special risks of investing in high-yield debt instruments and foreign securities. The Fund's diversification strategies, with respect to securities in different sectors and securities issued by different companies or governments, are intended to help reduce the volatility of the Fund's share prices while seeking current income. The Fund may try to take advantage of any lack of correlation in the movement of securities prices among the three sectors. The portfolio managers currently focus on the following factors, which may vary in particular cases and may change over time:

  • Securities offering high current income,
  • Securities whose market prices tend to move in different directions (to seek overall portfolio diversification), and
  • Relative values among the three major market sectors in which the Fund invests.

The Fund may sell securities that the portfolio managers believe are no longer favorable with regard to the above factors.

 

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund's shares are available only as an investment option under certain variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies and investment plans offered through insurance company separate accounts of participating insurance companies. The Fund is designed primarily for investors seeking high current income from a fund that invests in a variety of domestic and foreign debt securities, including government securities and lower-grade debt securities. Those investors should be willing to assume the greater risks of short-term share price fluctuations and the special credit risks that are typical for a fund that invests mainly in lower grade fixed-income securities and foreign securities. The Fund does not seek capital appreciation. Because the Fund's income will fluctuate, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is intended to be a long-term investment, not a short-term trading vehicle. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have some degree of risk. The value of the Fund's shares fluctuates as the value of the Fund's investments changes, and may decline. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or from more specific factors like those described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

MAIN RISKS OF INVESTING IN DEBT SECURITIES. Debt securities (also referred to as "fixed-income securities") may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk and extension 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 an issuer fails to pay interest or to repay principal, the Fund's income and share value will usually be reduced. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. The values of debt securities are also subject to change when prevailing interest rates change. When prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. When prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may sell at a discount from their face amount or from the amount the Fund paid for them. Interest rate changes generally have a greater effect on longer-term debt securities than on shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, the issuers of debt securities may prepay principal more quickly than expected and the Fund may be required to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate. This is referred to as "prepayment risk." When interest rates rise, debt securities may be repaid more slowly than expected and the value of the Fund's holdings may fall sharply. This is referred to as "extension risk." Interest rate changes may have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates.

        Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower-grade securities may be subject to wider market fluctuations and greater risk of loss of income and principal than investment-grade securities. While investment-grade securities are subject to risks of non-payment of interest and principal, in general those risks are greater for higher-yielding lower-grade bonds, whether rated or unrated. The market for lower-grade securities may be less liquid and therefore they may be harder to sell at an acceptable price, especially during times of market volatility or decline.

Because the Fund can invest without limit in lower-grade securities, the Fund's credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only investment-grade securities.

 

FIXED-INCOME MARKET RISKS. Recent developments relating to subprime mortgages have adversely affected fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. The values of many types of debt securities have been reduced, including debt securities that are not related to mortgage loans. These developments have reduced the willingness of some lenders to extend credit and have made it more difficult for borrowers to obtain financing on attractive terms or at all. In addition, broker-dealers and other market participants have been less willing to make a market in some types of debt instruments, which has impacted the liquidity of those instruments. These developments may also have a negative effect on the broader economy. There is a risk that the lack of liquidity or other adverse credit market conditions may hamper the Fund's ability to sell the debt securities in which it invests or to find and purchase suitable debt instruments.

 

SECTOR ALLOCATION RISK. In allocating investments among its three principal market sectors, the Fund seeks to take advantage of the potential lack of performance correlation between those sectors. There is the risk that the Manager's evaluations regarding the sectors' relative performance may be incorrect and those sectors may all perform in a similar manner under certain market conditions.

 

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. A change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency and of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, or other political and economic factors.

     Foreign Currency Risk. A change in the value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency. If the U.S. dollar rises in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency will be worth less in U.S. dollars and if the U.S. dollar decreases in value against a foreign currency, a security denominated in that currency will be worth more in U.S. dollars. The dollar value of foreign investments may also be affected by exchange controls.

     Time-Zone Arbitrage. The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that are traded in U.S. or foreign markets. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in securities traded in foreign markets, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Fund and the Board believe to be their fair value, may help deter those activities.

     Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. Developing or emerging market countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges. Securities of companies in developing or emerging market countries may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and their prices may be more volatile than securities of companies in countries with more mature markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the proceeds of a sale of a security may not be received on a timely basis. The economies of developing or emerging market countries may be more dependent on relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Developing or emerging market countries may have less developed legal and accounting systems, and investments in those countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of company assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Their governments may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. The value of the currency of a developing or emerging market country may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in companies in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

 

RISKS OF DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. For example, if a call option sold by the Fund were exercised on an investment that had increased in value above the call price, the Fund would be required to sell the investment at the call price and would not be able to realize any additional profit.

Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Manager expects it to. As a result, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose principal from the investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful. The Fund may also lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer fails to pay the amount due.

For some derivatives, it is possible for the Fund to lose more than the amount invested in the derivative instrument.

 

                                 _____________________________


There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Debt securities are subject to credit and interest rate risks that can affect their values and the share prices of the Fund. The values of high-yield debt securities can fluctuate substantially because of interest rate changes and perceptions about the high-yield market among investors. Foreign debt securities can be volatile, and the price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially, particularly in emerging markets. The Fund is likely to be more volatile and have more risks than funds that focus on U.S. government securities and investment-grade bonds, but its sector diversification strategy may help make it less volatile than funds that focus solely on investments in high-yield bonds or a single foreign sector, such as emerging markets.

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. The bar chart shows the yearly performance of the Fund's Non-Service shares for the last 10 calendar years.


Charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart and if those charges were included, the returns may be less than those shown. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 6.10% (2nd qtr 03) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -9.84% (4th qtr 08).

The following table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Fund's shares before taxes compared to two broad-based market indices. Because the Fund's Service Shares are subject to a service fee, their performance is expected to be lower than the performance of Non-Service Shares for any given period. The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Average Annual Total Returns for the periods ended December 31, 2008 1 Year 5 Years 10 Years
(or life of
class, if less)
Non-Service Shares (inception 05-03-1993) (14.21%) 2.45% 4.71%
Service Shares (inception 03-19-2001) (14.49%) 2.23% 4.67%
Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index 5.24% 4.65% 5.63%
(reflects no deductions for fees, expenses or taxes) 5.52%1
Citigroup World Government Bond Index 10.89% 6.05% 5.90%
(reflects no deductions for fees, expenses or taxes) 8.50%1

1. From 3-31-01

The average annual total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account, without deducting charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. corporate and government bonds, and to the Citigroup World Government Bond Index, an unmanaged index of debt securities of major foreign governments. The index performance includes income reinvestment but does not reflect any transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund's investments vary from those in the indices.

The Fund's total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, even if both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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 Fund pays a variety of expenses for the management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay those expenses indirectly.

The numbers in the Table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, but have been restated to reflect the transfer agent fee changes described below as if those changes had been in effect during that entire fiscal year. Expenses may vary in future years.


Shareholder Fees.
The Fund does not charge an initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends. There are no redemption fees and no contingent deferred sales charges. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on initial or contingent deferred sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees for that variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product. Those charges and fees are not reflected in the tables below.

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (deducted from Fund assets): (% of average daily net assets)
Non-Service Shares Service Shares
Management Fees 0.55% 0.55%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees n/a 0.25%
Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses1 0.02% 0.02%
Other Expenses2 0.13% 0.13%
Total Annual Operating Expenses3 0.70% 0.95%

1. "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" includes fees and expenses incurred indirectly by the Fund with respect to the Fund's investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC and Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC. The calculation of the "Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses" is based on the total annual expense ratios of those funds, without giving effect to any fee waivers or reimbursements. Any material change in the Fund's allocations to Acquired Funds might increase or decrease those expenses. The Manager will voluntarily waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund's investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC and Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC.
2. "Other Expenses" include transfer agent fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays. Effective May 1, 2009 the Fund's transfer agent fee structure has changed. The "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" per the above table reflect the estimated annual effect of these contractual changes. Prior to May 1, 2009, the Transfer Agent had voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. For the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the transfer agent fees did not exceed that expense limitation. The actual "Other Expenses" as a percentage of the average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.03% for both Non-Service and Service Shares. The Fund also receives certain credits from the Fund's custodian that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reduced its custodial expenses for all share classes by less than 0.01% of average daily net assets.
3. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service Shares and 1.00% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders. After all of the waivers and credits in effect during that period, the actual "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as a percentages of average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were 0.58 % for Non-Service Shares and 0.83 % for Service Shares. It is estimated that after giving effect to all of the current fee structures, waivers and credits, the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets would have been 0.68% for Non-Service Shares and 0.93% for Service Shares during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes 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 expenses for your variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product are not included and if they were included, overall expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Fund's expenses will vary over time and your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeemed your shares:

  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Non-Service Shares $72 $225 $391 $874
Service Shares $97 $304 $528 $1,172

In evaluating the Fund's expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets and issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer investment benefits to individuals without the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund's overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund's shareholders.

About the Fund's Investments

The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and 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 FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS.  The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

 

DEBT SECURITIES. The Fund may invest in debt securities, including: U.S. and foreign government bonds and notes, collateralized mortgage obligations and other mortgage-related securities, asset-backed securities, participation interests in loans, investments in loan pools, "structured" notes, lower-grade, high-yield domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations, and "zero-coupon" and "stripped" securities.

Debt securities may be subject to the following risks:

  • Interest Rate Risk. The values of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the Fund's investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund's income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change.

       The Fund may also buy zero-coupon or "stripped" securities, which may be particularly sensitive to interest rate changes.  Interest rate changes may have different effects on the values of mortgage-related securities because of prepayment and extension risks.



  • Prepayment Risk. Certain fixed-income securities are subject to the risk of unanticipated prepayment. That is the risk that when interest rates fall, borrowers will prepay the loans that underlie these securities more quickly than expected, causing the issuer of the security to repay the principal prior to the security's expected maturity. The Fund may need to reinvest the proceeds at a lower interest rate, reducing its income. Securities subject to prepayment risk generally offer less potential for gains when prevailing interest rates fall. If the Fund buys those securities at a premium, accelerated prepayments on those securities could cause it to lose a portion of its principal investment represented by the premium. The impact of prepayments on the price of a security may be difficult to predict and may increase the security's price volatility. Interest-only and principal-only securities are especially sensitive to interest rate changes, which can affect not only their prices but can also change the income flows and prepayment assumptions about those investments.
  • Extension Risk. If interest rates rise rapidly, repayments of principal on certain debt securities may occur at a slower rate than expected and the expected maturity of those securities could lengthen as a result. Those securities generally have a greater potential for loss when prevailing interest rates rise, which could cause their value to fall sharply.
  • Credit Risk. Debt securities are also 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. Securities directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and certain agencies that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government have little credit risk, and other U.S. Government securities generally have lower credit risks, while securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments generally have greater credit risks. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the values of the security might fall. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news about an issuer can reduce the market value of that issuer's securities.

Credit Quality.  The Fund may invest in securities that are rated or unrated. "Investment grade" securities are rated in one of the top four rating categories by nationally-recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. "Lower grade" securities are those that are rated below those categories. While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by S&P are considered "investment grade," they may also have some speculative characteristics. 

        Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Rating agencies might not always change their credit rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer's ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business and economic factors affecting issuers as well. The ratings definitions of the principal ratings organizations are included in Appendix B to the Statement of Additional Information.

U.S. Government Securities. The Fund invests in securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or its agencies and instrumentalities. Some of those securities are directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. "Full faith and credit" means that the taxing power of the U.S. Government is pledged to the payment of interest and repayment of principal on a security.

Some securities issued by U.S. Government agencies, such as Government National Mortgage Corporation pass-through mortgage obligations ("Ginnie Maes"), are also backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Others are supported by the right of the agency to borrow an amount from the U.S. Government (for example, "Fannie Mae" bonds issued by Federal National Mortgage Corporation and "Freddie Mac" obligations issued by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). Others are supported only by the credit of the agency (for example obligations issued by the Federal Home Loan Banks). On September 7, 2008, the Federal Housing Finance Agency, a new independent regulatory agency, placed the Federal National Mortgage Corporation and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation into conservatorship and the U.S. Department of Treasury made a commitment to purchase mortgage-backed securities from the companies through December 2009. The U.S. Department of Treasury also entered into a new secured lending credit facility with those companies and a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement. Under those agreements, the Treasury will ensure that each company maintains a positive net worth. 

     U.S. Treasury Securities. Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States for payment of interest and repayment of principal and have little credit risk. Some of the securities that are issued directly by the U.S. Treasury are: Treasury bills (having maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (having maturities of from one to ten years when issued), Treasury bonds (having maturities of more than ten years when issued) and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities ("TIPS"). While U.S. Treasury securities have little credit risk, they are subject to price fluctuations from changes in interest rates prior to their maturity.

     Mortgage-Related Government Securities. The Fund can buy interests in pools of residential or commercial mortgages, in the form of "pass-through" mortgage securities. They may be issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, or its agencies and instrumentalities. Mortgage-related U.S. Government securities may be issued in different series, each having different interest rates and maturities.

Mortgage-related securities that are U.S. Government securities have collateral to secure payment of interest and principal. The collateral is either in the form of mortgage pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency or instrumentality or mortgage loans insured by a U.S. Government agency. The prices and yields of mortgage-related securities are determined, in part, by assumptions about the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages and are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Private-Issuer Securities. The Fund can also invest in securities issued by private issuers, such as banks, savings and loans, and other entities, including mortgage-related securities. Securities issued by private issuers are subject to greater credit risks than U.S. Government securities.

     Mortgage-Related Private Issuer Securities. Primarily these investments include multi-class debt or pass-through certificates secured by mortgage loans, which may be issued by banks, savings and loans, mortgage bankers and other non-governmental issuers.  Private-issuer mortgage-backed securities may include loans on residential or commercial properties.

Mortgage-related securities issued by private issuers are not U.S. Government securities, which makes them subject to greater credit risks. Private issuer securities are subject to the credit risks of the issuers as well as to interest rate risks, although in some cases they may be supported by insurance or guarantees. The prices and yields of private issuer mortgage-related securities are also subject to prepayment and extension risk. The market for private-issuer mortgage-backed securities may be volatile at times and may be less liquid than the markets for other types of securities.

Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are fractional interests in pools of loans, other assets or receivables. They are issued by trusts or other special purpose vehicles and are collateralized by the loans, other assets or receivables that make up the pool. The trust or other issuer passes the income from the underlying pool to the investor. Neither the Fund nor the Manager selects the loans or other assets that are included in the pools or the collateral backing those pools. Asset-backed securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Certain asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risks.

Forward Rolls. The Fund can enter into "forward roll" transactions (also referred to as "mortgage dollar rolls") with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund will bear the risk that the market value of the securities might decline below the price at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase them or that the counterparty might default in its obligations.

Zero-Coupon and Stripped Securities. Some of the debt securities the Fund may invest in are "zero-coupon" or "stripped" securities. Zero-coupon securities pay no interest prior to their maturity date or another specified date in the future but are issued at a discount from their face value. Stripped securities are the separate income or principal components of a debt security, such as Treasury securities whose coupons have been stripped by a Federal Reserve Bank. One component might receive all the interest and the other all the principal payments.

Interest rate changes generally cause greater price fluctuations in zero-coupon securities or the "principal-only" components of stripped securities than in interest-paying securities of the same or similar maturities. The Fund may be required to pay a dividend of the imputed income on a zero-coupon or principal-only security at a time when it has not actually received the income. The "interest-only" components of stripped securities are also especially sensitive to changes in prevailing 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.

The Fund can invest up to 50% of its total assets in zero-coupon securities issued by either the U.S. Treasury or U.S. companies.

Participation Interests in Loans. These securities represent an undivided fractional interest in a loan obligation of a borrower. They are typically purchased from banks or dealers that have made the loan, or are members of the loan syndicate, and that act as the servicing agent for the interest. The loans may be to foreign or U.S. companies. Participation interests are subject to the credit risk of the servicing agent as well as the credit risk of the borrower. If a fund purchases a participation interest, it may be only able to enforce its rights through the lender. The Fund can also buy interests in trusts and other entities that hold loan obligations. In that case the Fund will be subject to the trust's credit risks as well as the credit risks of the underlying loans.

Investments in Loan Investment Pools. The Fund can also buy interests in trusts and other pooled entities that invest primarily or exclusively in loan obligations, including entities sponsored or advised by the Manager or an affiliate. The loans underlying these investments may include loans to foreign or U.S. borrowers, may be collateralized or uncollateralized and may be rated above or below investment grade or may be unrated. The Manager expects that from time to time investments in loan investment pools may exceed 15% of the Fund's net assets.

These investments are subject to the risk of default by the borrower, interest rate and prepayment risk, as well as credit risks of the pooled entity that holds the loan obligations.

High-Yield, Lower-Grade Debt Securities. The Fund may invest in high-yield, lower-grade, fixed-income securities of U.S. and foreign issuers. Those securities may include, among others: bonds, debentures, notes, preferred stock, loan participation interests, "structured" notes, commercial mortgage-backed securities, and asset-backed securities. There are no limits on the amount of the Fund's assets that can be invested in securities rated below investment grade. The Fund may invest in securities rated as low as "C" or "D" or that are in default at the time the Fund buys them. Those securities are generally considered speculative.

     Price Arbitrage. Because the Fund may invest in high yield bonds that may trade infrequently, investors might seek to trade fund shares based on their knowledge or understanding of the value of those securities (this is sometimes referred to as "price arbitrage"). If such price arbitrage were successful, it might interfere with the efficient management of the Fund's portfolio and the Fund may be required to sell securities at disadvantageous times or prices to satisfy the liquidity requirements created by that activity. Successful price arbitrage might also dilute the value of fund shares held by other shareholders.

Foreign Investments. The Fund can buy a variety of securities issued by foreign governments and companies, as well as "supra-national" entities, such as the World Bank. The Fund's foreign investments primarily include bonds, debentures and notes. The Fund's foreign investments can be denominated in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks.

 

DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS. The Fund can invest in a number of different types of "derivative" investments. A derivative is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks.

The Fund may use derivatives to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.

       Options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, "structured" notes, and certain mortgage-related securities are some of the derivatives that the Fund may use. The Fund may also use other types of derivatives that are consistent with its investment strategies or hedging purposes.

      "Structured" Notes. "Structured" notes are specially-designed derivative debt investments. The terms of the instrument may be "structured" by the purchaser and the issuer of the note. Payments of principal or interest on these notes may be linked to the value of an index (such as a currency or securities index), an individual security, or a commodity. The value of these notes will normally rise or fall in response to the changes in the performance of the underlying security, index or commodity.

Structured notes are subject to interest rate risk and are also subject to credit risk with respect both to the borrower (referred to as "counter-party" risk) and to the issuer of the underlying investment. If the underlying investment or index does not perform as anticipated, the Fund might receive less interest than the stated coupon payment or repay less principal upon maturity. The price of structured notes may be very volatile and they may have a limited trading market, making it difficult for the Fund to value them or sell them at an acceptable price.

In some cases, the Fund may invest in structured notes that pay an amount based on a multiple of the relative change in value of the asset or reference. This type of note increases the potential for income but at a greater risk of loss than a typical debt security of the same maturity and credit quality.

     Credit Default Swaps. A credit default swap enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a credit event, such as an issuer's failure to make timely payments of interest or principal, bankruptcy or restructuring. The terms of the instrument are generally negotiated by the Fund and the swap counterparty. A swap may be embedded within a structured note or other derivative instrument.

Generally, if the Fund buys credit protection using a credit default swap, the Fund will make fixed payments to the counterparty and if a credit event occurs, the Fund will deliver the defaulted bonds underlying the swap to the swap counterparty and the counterparty will pay the Fund par for the bonds. If the Fund sells credit protection using a credit default swap, generally the Fund will receive fixed payments from the counterparty and if a credit event occurs, the Fund will pay the swap counterparty par for the defaulted bonds underlying the swap and the swap counterparty will deliver the bonds to the Fund. If the credit default swap is on a basket of securities, the notional value of the swap is reduced by the par amount of the defaulted bonds, and the fixed payments are then made on the reduced notional value.

Credit default swaps are subject to credit risk on the underlying investment and to counterparty credit risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations the Fund may lose money. Credit default swaps are also subject to the risk that the Fund will not properly assess the cost of the underlying investment. If the Fund is selling credit protection, there is a risk that a credit event will occur and that the Fund will have to pay par value on defaulted bonds. If the Fund is buying credit protection, there is a risk that no credit event will occur and the Fund will receive no benefit for the premium paid.

     Interest Rate Swaps.  In an interest rate swap, the Fund and another party exchange the right to receive interest payments on a security or other reference rate. For example, they might swap the right to receive floating rate payments for the right to receive fixed rate payments. The terms of the instrument are generally negotiated by the Fund and the swap counterparty. An interest rate swap may be embedded within a structured note or other derivative instrument.

Interest rate swaps are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. An interest rate swap transaction could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Interest rate swaps are also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money.

     Total Return Swaps. In a total return swap transaction, one party agrees to pay the other party an amount equal to the total return on a defined underlying asset or a non-asset reference during a specified period of time. The underlying asset might be a security or basket of securities or a non-asset reference such as a securities index. In return, the other party would make periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or on the total return from a different underlying asset or non-asset reference.

Total return swaps could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. Total return swaps can have the potential for unlimited losses. They are also subject to counterparty risk. If the counterparty fails to meet its obligations, the Fund may lose money.

     Swap Transactions. There is no central exchange or market for swap transactions and therefore they are less liquid than exchange-traded instruments. If the Fund were to sell a swap it owned to a third party, the Fund would still remain primarily liable for the obligations under the swap contract.

Hedging. Hedging transactions are intended to reduce the risks of securities in the Fund's portfolio. At times, however, a hedging instrument's value might not be correlated with the investment it is intended to hedge, and the hedge might be unsuccessful. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the strategy could reduce its return or create a loss.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.  The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

Diversification and Concentration.  The Fund is a diversified fund. It attempts to reduce its exposure to the risks of individual securities by diversifying its investments across a broad number of different companies. The Fund will not concentrate more than 25% of its total assets in issuers in any one industry.  At times, however, the Fund may emphasize investments in some industries more than others.

The Fund will not concentrate more than 25% of its total assets in the securities of any one foreign government.

Special Portfolio Diversification Requirements. To enable a variable annuity or variable life insurance contract based on an insurance company separate account to qualify for favorable tax treatment under the Internal Revenue Code, the underlying investments must follow special diversification requirements that limit the percentage of assets that can be invested in securities of particular issuers. The Fund's investment program is managed to meet those requirements, in addition to other diversification requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, that apply to publicly-sold mutual funds.

Failure by the Fund to meet those special requirements could cause earnings on a contract owner's interest in an insurance company separate account to be taxable income. Those diversification requirements might also limit, to some degree, the Fund's investment decisions in a way that could reduce its performance.

Common Stock and Other Equity Investments. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, rights, warrants and certain debt securities that are convertible into common stock. Equity investments may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Common stock represents an ownership interest in a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy.

Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The dividends on preferred stock may be cumulative (they remain a liability of the company until paid) or non-cumulative. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. When interest rates rise, the value of preferred stock having a fixed dividend rate tends to fall.

A convertible security can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Convertible securities may provide more income than common stock but they generally provide less income than comparable non-convertible debt securities. Convertible securities are subject to credit and interest rate risk. The credit ratings of convertible securities generally have less impact on the value of those securities than they do on non-convertible debt securities, however.

Risks of Investing in Equity Securities. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price in response to changes in equity markets in general. Equity markets may experience great short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign markets.

The prices of equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company's securities. These factors may include: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Fund may purchase securities on a "when-issued" basis and may purchase or sell such securities on a "delayed-delivery" basis. When-issued and delayed-delivery securities are purchased at a price that is fixed at the time of the transaction, with payment and delivery of the security made at a later date. During the period between purchase and settlement, the Fund makes no payment to the issuer and no interest accrues to the Fund from the investment.

The securities are subject to changes in value from market fluctuations during the period until settlement and the value of the security on the delivery date may be more or less than the Fund paid. The Fund may lose money if the value of the security declines below the purchase price.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as "illiquid" securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as "restricted securities." Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.

The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.  The Manager monitors the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs") for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. The Fund's portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund's securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations.

The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

The Fund offers its shares to separate accounts of different insurance companies, as an investment for their variable annuity, variable life and other investment product contracts. While the Fund does not foresee any disadvantages to contract owners from these arrangements, it is possible that the interests of owners of different contracts participating in the Fund through different separate accounts might conflict. For example, a conflict could arise because of differences in tax treatment.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, rather than purchasing individual short-term investments, to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Fund cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments in which Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund invests or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund 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.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.

 

CHANGES TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares, however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. Shareholders will receive 60 days advance notice of any change in the 80% investment policy described in "The Fund's Main Investment Strategies." The Fund's investment objective is a fundamental policy. Other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. 

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 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 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary managed funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

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, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60% on the next $200 million and 0.50% of average annual net assets over $1 billion. The Fund's management fee for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, was 0.55% of the Fund's average annual net assets for each class of shares.

Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service Shares and 1.00% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders.

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Arthur P. Steinmetz, the lead portfolio manager, Krishna Memani, Joseph Welsh and Caleb Wong, who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio managers' compensation, other accounts they manage and their ownership of Fund shares.

INVESTING IN THE FUND 

How to Buy and Sell Shares

You may only submit instructions for buying or selling shares of the Fund to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Information about your investment in the Fund can only be obtained from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Fund's Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records.

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund currently offers two 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 usually have different share prices. The Service Shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. The expenses of that plan are described below. The Non-Service Shares are not subject to a service and distribution plan.

 

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Fund shares are sold to participating insurance companies at their net asset value per share. The net asset value that applies to a purchase order is the next one calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. Fund shares are redeemed at the next net asset value calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. The Fund's Transfer Agent generally must receive the purchase or redemption order from the insurance company by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next regular business day.

 The Fund does not impose any sales charge on purchases of its shares. If there are any charges imposed under the variable annuity, variable life or other contract through which Fund shares are purchased, they are described in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company. The participating insurance company's prospectus may also include information regarding the time you must submit your purchase and redemption orders.

The sale and redemption price for Fund shares will change from day to day because the value of the securities in its portfolio and its expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for different classes of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.

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 (the "NYSE"), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

The Fund determines the net assets of each class of shares by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of the Fund's liabilities attributable to the share class from the market value of the Fund's securities and other assets attributable to the share class. The Fund's "other assets" might include, for example, cash and interest or dividends from its portfolio securities that have been accrued but not yet collected. The Fund's securities are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.

The net asset value per share for each share class is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.

Fair Value Pricing. If market quotations are not readily available or (in the Manager's judgment) do not accurately reflect the fair value of a security, or if after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board believes would more accurately reflect the security's fair value.

In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities. It seeks to identify significant events that it believes, in good faith, will affect the market prices of the securities held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's "Valuation Committee." Those determinations may include consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security, developments in the markets and their performance, and current valuations of foreign or U.S. indices. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.

  Pricing Foreign Securities. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges. Because many foreign markets close hours before the Fund, values its foreign portfolio holdings, significant events, including broad market movements, may occur during that time that could potentially affect the values of foreign securities held by the Fund.

The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

 

HOW CAN YOU BUY FUND SHARES? Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. Individual investors cannot buy shares of the Fund directly. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on how to select the Fund as an investment option. That prospectus will indicate which share class you may be eligible to purchase.

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

HOW CAN YOU REDEEM FUND SHARES? Only the participating insurance companies that hold Fund shares in their separate accounts can place orders to redeem shares. Contract holders and policy holders should not directly contact the Fund or its transfer agent to request a redemption of Fund shares. The Fund normally sends payment by Federal Funds wire to the insurance company's account on the next business day after the Fund receives the order (and no later than seven days after the Fund's receipt of the order). Under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. Contract owners should refer to the withdrawal or surrender instructions in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company.

 

Redemptions "In-Kind." Shares may be "redeemed in-kind" under certain circumstances (such as redemptions of substantial amounts of shares by shareholders that have consented to such in kind redemptions). That means that the redemption proceeds will be paid to the participating insurance companies in securities from the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund redeems shares in-kind, the insurance company accounts may bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such securities are converted into cash.

 

Limitations on Frequent Transactions


 

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, may increase its transaction and administrative costs and may affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, and the aggregate dollar amount, the number and the frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in frequent redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading. If the Transfer Agent is not able to detect and curtail such activity, frequent trading could occur in the Fund.

Policies on Disruptive Activity

The Transfer Agent and the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, have entered into agreements with participating insurance companies designed to detect and restrict excessive short-term trading activity by contract or policy owners or their financial advisers in their accounts. The Transfer Agent generally does not consider periodic asset allocation or re-balancing that affects a portion of the Fund shares held in the account of a policy or contract owner to be "excessive trading." However, the Transfer Agent has advised participating insurance companies that it generally considers certain other types of trading activity to be "excessive," such as making a "transfer" out of the Fund within 30 days after buying Fund shares (by the sale of the recently purchased Fund shares and the purchase of shares of another fund) or making more than six "round-trip transfers" between funds during one year. The agreements require participating insurance companies to provide transaction information to the Fund and to execute Fund instructions to restrict trading in Fund shares.

 A participating insurance company may also have its own policies and procedures and may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term and/or excessive trading by its policy or contract owners. Those policies and procedures may be different from the Fund's in certain respects. You should refer to the prospectus for your insurance company variable annuity contract for specific information about the insurance company's policies. Under certain circumstances, policy or contract owners may be required to transmit purchase or redemption orders only by first class U.S. mail.

Monitoring the Policies. The Fund's policies and procedures for detecting and deterring frequent or excessive trading are administered by the Fund's Transfer Agent. However, the Transfer Agent presently does not have the ability to directly monitor trading activity in the accounts of policy or contract owners within the participating insurance companies' accounts. The Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in such insurance company accounts ultimately depends on the capability and diligence of each participating insurance company, under their agreements with the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Fund, in monitoring and controlling the trading activity of the policy or contract owners in the insurance company's accounts.

The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor the net effect on the Fund's assets from the purchase and redemption activity in the accounts of participating insurance companies and will seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the contract or policy owners who invest in the insurance company's accounts. If the Transfer Agent believes it has observed evidence of possible excessive trading activity, it will ask the participating insurance companies or other registered owners to provide information about the transaction activity of the contract or policy holders in their respective accounts, and to take appropriate action. In that case, the insurance company must confirm to the Transfer Agent that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the excessive trading activity.

The Transfer Agent will, subject to the limitations described in this section, limit or terminate the trading activity of any person, group or account that it believes would be excessive or disruptive. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect or curtail all such trading activity in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will evaluate trading activity on a case by case basis and the limitations placed on trading may vary between accounts.

Right to Refuse Purchase Orders. The Fund's Distributor or Transfer Agent may, in their discretion, refuse any purchase order and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

  

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS


Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares to pay the Distributor for distribution related services, personal services and account maintenance for those shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund's Service Shares. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time they will increase the operating expenses of the Service Shares and may cost you more than other types of fees or sales charges. As a result, the Service Shares may have lower performance compared to the Fund's shares that are not subject to a service fee.

     Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product for providing personal services and account maintenance for variable contract owners that hold Service Shares.

 

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to those firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include securities brokers, dealers or financial advisers, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

       Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends annually from any net investment income. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. Because of the higher expenses on Service Shares, the dividends and capital gains distributions paid on those shares will generally be lower than for other Fund shares.

Receiving Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares for the account of the participating insurance company, unless the insurance company elects to have dividends or distributions paid in cash.

 

TAXES. For a discussion of the tax status of a variable annuity contract, a variable life insurance policy or other investment product of a participating insurance company, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of your participating insurance company. Because shares of the Fund may be purchased only through insurance company separate accounts for variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other investment products, any dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term and long-term capital gains will be taxable, if at all, to the participating insurance company. Those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts, however.

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

Financial Highlights

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

ABOUT THE FUND

The Fund's Investment Objective and Principal Investment Strategies

WHAT IS THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE? The Fund seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks with low price-earnings ratios and better-than-anticipated earnings. Realization of current income is a secondary consideration.

 

THE FUND'S MAIN INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.

What is "Value Investing"? Value investing uses fundamental analysis to seek companies whose intrinsic value is greater than the current price of their securities.

The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of companies that the portfolio managers believe are undervalued in the marketplace. The Fund may also invest in other equity securities, such as preferred stock, rights, warrants and securities convertible into common stock. The Fund may buy securities issued by companies of any size or market capitalization range and at times might increase its emphasis on securities of issuers in a particular capitalization range. While the Fund does not limit its investments to issuers in a particular capitalization range, the portfolio managers currently focus on securities of larger-size companies.

The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in foreign securities of companies or governments in any country, including in developed and emerging market countries.  The Fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in debt securities.

 

HOW THE PORTFOLIO MANAGERS DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL. In selecting securities to buy, the portfolio managers look for companies they believe have been undervalued by the market. A security may be undervalued because the market is not aware of the issuer's intrinsic value, does not yet recognize its future potential, or the issuer may be temporarily out of favor. The Fund seeks to realize gains in the prices of those securities when other investors recognize their real or prospective worth. The portfolio managers use a "bottom up" approach to select securities one at a time before considering industry trends. The portfolio managers use fundamental analysis to select securities based on factors such as a company's long-term earnings and growth potential. The portfolio managers currently focus on companies with the following characteristics, which may vary in particular cases and may change over time:

  • Future supply/demand conditions for its key products,
  • Product cycles,
  • Quality of management,
  • Competitive position in the market place, 
  • Reinvestment plans for cash generated,
  • Better-than-expected earnings reports, and 
  • Attractive valuation.

The portfolio managers also monitor individual issuers for changes in their business fundamentals or prospects that could trigger a decision to sell a security. The portfolio managers may consider selling a stock for one or more of the following reasons:

  • the stock price is approaching its price target,
  • the company's fundamentals are deteriorating, or
  • alternative investment ideas have been developed.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund's shares are available only as an investment option under certain variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies and investment plans offered through insurance company separate accounts of participating insurance companies. The Fund is designed for investors seeking capital appreciation over the long term. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations and losses that are typical for a fund emphasizing investments in stocks. Because of its focus on long-term growth, the Fund may be appropriate for investors with longer term investment goals. Since the Fund's income level will fluctuate and will likely be small, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program and may not be appropriate for all investors. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

All investments have some degree of risk. The value of the Fund's shares fluctuates as the value of the Fund's investments changes, and may decline. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or from more specific factors like those described below. There is also the risk that poor security selection could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar objectives. When you redeem your shares, they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. These risks mean that you can lose money by investing in the Fund.

 

RISKS OF INVESTING IN STOCK. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant volatility and may fall sharply at times. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments. Different stock markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. stock markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets.

A variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company's stock and the prices of individual stocks generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time. These factors may include: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

At times, the Fund may emphasize investments in a particular industry or sector. To the extent that the Fund increases its emphasis on stocks in a particular industry, the value of its investments may fluctuate more in response to events affecting that industry, such as changes in economic conditions, government regulations, availability of basic resources or supplies, or other events that affect that industry more than others.

 

RISKS OF VALUE INVESTING. Value investing entails the risk that if the market does not recognize that the securities selected by the Fund are undervalued, the prices of those securities might not appreciate as anticipated. The portfolio managers' value approach could also result in acquiring fewer investments in securities that increase in price rapidly during times of market advances. This could cause the Fund to underperform other funds that seek capital appreciation but that employ only a growth or non-value approach to investing. Value investing has also gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and is likely to continue to do so. During periods when value investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, the securities of "value" companies may underperform the securities of "growth" companies.

 

RISKS OF SMALL- AND MID-SIZED COMPANIES. Small- and mid-sized companies may be either established or newer companies, including "unseasoned" companies that have been in operation for less than three years. While smaller companies might offer greater opportunities for gain than larger companies, they also involve greater risk of loss. They may be more sensitive to changes in a company's earnings expectations and may experience more abrupt and erratic price movements. Smaller companies' securities often trade in lower volumes and it might be harder for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable price when it wants to sell them. Small- and mid-sized companies may not have established markets for their products or services and may have fewer customers and product lines. They may have more limited access to financial resources and may not have the financial strength to sustain them through business downturns or adverse market conditions. Since small- and mid-sized companies typically reinvest a high proportion of their earnings in their business, they may not pay dividends for some time, particularly if they are newer companies. Smaller companies may have unseasoned management or less depth in management skill than larger, more established companies. They may be more reliant on the efforts of particular members of their management team and management changes may pose a greater risk to the success of the business. Securities of small, unseasoned companies may be particularly volatile, especially in the short term, and may have very limited liquidity. It may take a substantial period of time to realize a gain on an investment in a small- or mid-sized company, if any gain is realized at all.

 

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. While foreign securities may offer special investment opportunities, they are also subject to special risks. Foreign issuers are usually not subject to the same accounting and disclosure requirements that U.S. companies are subject to, which may make it difficult to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. A change in value of a foreign currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities denominated in that foreign currency and of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. Additionally, the value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, or other political and economic factors.

     Time-Zone Arbitrage. The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that are traded in U.S. or foreign markets. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in securities traded in foreign markets, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Fund and the Board believe to be their fair value, may help deter those activities.

These risks may be greater for investments in emerging or developing market countries.

     __________________________________________________

There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. Stock markets can be volatile, and the prices of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The Fund generally does not use income-oriented investments to help to cushion the Fund's total return from changes in stock prices. The Fund's share price is likely to be more volatile than funds that invest in stocks and bonds or in investment-grade debt securities.

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. The bar chart shows the yearly performance of the Fund's Non-Service Shares for each completed calendar year since the Fund's inception.


Charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund are not included in the calculations of return in this bar chart and if those charges were included, the returns may be less than those shown. During the period shown in the bar chart, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 17.01% (2nd qtr 03) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -24.60% (4th qtr 08).

The following table shows the average annual total returns of each class of the Fund's shares before taxes compared to a broad-based market index. Because the Fund's Service Shares are subject to a service fee, their performance is expected to be lower than the performance of Non-Service Shares for any given period. The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

(reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes) (14.47%)1 N/A

1.  From 8-31-06
2.  From 12-31-02

The average annual total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account, without deducting charges imposed by the separate accounts that invest in the Fund, and assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in additional shares. The Fund's performance is compared to the performance of the Russell 1000 Value Index, an unmanaged index of equity securities of large capitalization value companies. The index performance includes income reinvestment but does not reflect any transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund's investments vary from those in the index.

The Fund's total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, even if both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund

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 Fund pays a variety of expenses for the management of its assets, administration, distribution of its shares and other services. Since those expenses are paid from the Fund's assets, all shareholders pay those expenses indirectly.

The numbers in the Table are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, but have been restated to reflect the transfer agent fee changes described below as if those changes had been in effect during that entire fiscal year. Expenses may vary in future years.


Shareholder Fees.
The Fund does not charge an initial sales charge to buy shares or to reinvest dividends. There are no redemption fees and no contingent deferred sales charges. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on initial or contingent deferred sales charges, exchange fees or redemption fees for that variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product. Those charges and fees are not reflected in the tables below.

The "Other Expenses" and "Total Annual Operating Expenses" per the above table reflect the estimated annual effect of these contractual changes. Prior to May 1, 2009, the Transfer Agent had voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for all classes. For the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the transfer agent fees did not exceed that expense limitation. The actual "Other Expenses" as a percentage of the average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 were 0.73% for Non-Service and 1.17% for Service Shares. The Fund also receives certain credits from the Fund's custodian that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, reduced its custodial expenses for all share classes by less than 0.01% of average daily net assets. 
2. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager voluntarily agreed to waive any total annual operating expenses over 1.25% of average net assets for Non-Service Shares and 1.50% of average net assets for Service Shares. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This voluntary undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time without notice to shareholders. After all of the fee and expense waivers and credits in effect during that period, the actual "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as a percentage of average daily net assets for the Fund's fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, were 1.25% for the Non-Service Shares and 1.50% for the Service Shares. It is estimated that after giving effect to all of the current fee structures, waivers and credits, the Fund's "Total Annual Operating Expenses," as percentages of average daily net assets would have been 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. 

EXAMPLE. The following example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes 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 expenses for your variable life insurance policy, variable annuity or other investment product are not included and if they were included, overall expenses would be higher. The example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. The Fund's expenses will vary over time and your actual costs may be higher or lower. Based on these assumptions your expenses would be as follows, whether or not you redeemed your shares:

  1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years
Non-Service Shares $162 $503 $867 $1,893
Service Shares $229 $705 $1,208 $2,593

In evaluating the Fund's expenses, it is important to remember that mutual funds offer you the opportunity to combine your resources with those of many other investors to obtain professional portfolio management, exposure to a larger number of markets and issuers, reliable custody for investment assets, liquidity, and convenient recordkeeping and reporting services. Funds also offer investment benefits to individuals without the expense and inconvenience of buying and selling individual securities. Because a fund is a pooled investment, however, shareholders may bear certain fund operating costs as a result of the activities of other fund investors. Because some investors may use fund services more than others, or may have smaller accounts or more frequent account activity, those activities may increase the Fund's overall expenses, which are indirectly borne by all of the Fund's shareholders.

About the Fund's Investments

The allocation of the Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time and 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 FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS.  The following strategies and types of investments are the ones that the Fund considers to be the most important in seeking to achieve its investment objective and the following risks are those the Fund expects its portfolio to be subject to as a whole.

Common Stock and Other Equity Investments. Equity securities include common stock, preferred stock, rights, warrants and certain debt securities that are convertible into common stock. Equity investments may be exchange-traded or over-the-counter securities. Common stock represents an ownership interest in a company. It ranks below preferred stock and debt securities in claims for dividends and in claims for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy.

Preferred stock has a set dividend rate and ranks ahead of common stocks and behind debt securities in claims for dividends and for assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The dividends on preferred stock may be cumulative (they remain a liability of the company until paid) or non-cumulative. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. When interest rates rise, the value of preferred stock having a fixed dividend rate tends to fall.

A convertible security can be converted into or exchanged for a set amount of common stock of an issuer within a particular period of time at a specified price or according to a price formula. Convertible debt securities pay interest and convertible preferred stocks pay dividends until they mature or are converted, exchanged or redeemed. Some convertible debt securities may be considered "equity equivalents" because of the feature that makes them convertible into common stock. Convertible securities may offer the Fund the ability to participate in stock market movements while also seeking some current income. Convertible securities may provide more income than common stock but they generally provide less income than comparable non-convertible debt securities. Convertible securities are subject to credit and interest rate risk, however credit ratings of convertible securities generally have less impact on the value of the securities than they do for non-convertible debt securities.

The Fund's convertible debt securities are subject to the same credit rating limits as the Fund's other debt securities and to the Fund's policy of not investing more than 10% of its net assets in all debt securities.

Foreign Investing. The Fund can buy foreign securities that are listed on a domestic or foreign stock exchange, traded in domestic or foreign over-the-counter markets, or that are represented by American Depository Receipts (ADRs). The Fund also can invest in emerging markets, which have greater risks than developed markets. The Fund will hold foreign currency only in connection with buying and selling foreign securities.

     Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. Developing or emerging market countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges. Securities of companies in developing or emerging market countries may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and their prices may be more volatile than securities of companies in countries with more mature markets. Settlements of trades may be subject to greater delays so that the proceeds of a sale of a security may not be received on a timely basis. The economies of developing or emerging market countries may be more dependent on relatively few industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global changes. Developing or emerging market countries may have less developed legal and accounting systems, and investments in those countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of company assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Their governments may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. The value of the currency of a developing or emerging market country may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in companies in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

     Time-Zone Arbitrage. The Fund may invest in securities of foreign issuers that are traded in U.S. or foreign markets. If the Fund invests a significant amount of its assets in securities traded in foreign markets, it may be exposed to "time-zone arbitrage" attempts by investors seeking to take advantage of differences in the values of foreign securities that might result from events that occur after the close of the foreign securities market on which a security is traded and before the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") that day, when the Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. However, the Fund's use of "fair value pricing" under certain circumstances, to adjust the closing market prices of foreign securities to reflect what the Manager and the Board believe to be their fair value, may help deter those activities.

 

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES AND RISKS.  The Fund can also use the investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not use all of these techniques or strategies or might only use them from time to time.

Debt Securities.  The Fund may invest in debt securities, including: securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities, foreign government securities, and foreign and domestic corporate bonds and debentures. Normally the Fund's investments in debt securities, including convertible debt securities, are limited to not more than 10% of the Fund's net assets.

Debt securities may be subject to the following risks:

  • Interest Rate Risk. The values of debt securities usually change when prevailing interest rates change. When interest rates rise, the values of outstanding debt securities generally fall, and those securities may sell at a discount from their face amount. When interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise. However, when interest rates fall, the Fund's investments in new securities may be at lower yields and may reduce the Fund's income. The values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities when interest rates change.
  • Credit Risk. Debt securities are also 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. Securities directly issued by the U.S. Treasury and certain agencies that are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government have little credit risk, and other U.S. Government securities generally have lower credit risks, while securities issued by private issuers or certain foreign governments generally have greater credit risks. If an issuer fails to pay interest, the Fund's income might be reduced, and if an issuer fails to repay principal, the values of the security might fall. The extent of this risk varies based on the terms of the particular security and the financial condition of the issuer. A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news about an issuer can reduce the market value of that issuer's securities.

Credit Quality.  The Fund may invest in securities that are rated or unrated. "Investment grade" securities are rated in one of the top four rating categories by nationally-recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody's Investors Service or Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. "Lower grade" securities are those that are rated below those categories. While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by S&P are considered "investment grade," they may also have some speculative characteristics. 

        Credit ratings evaluate the expectation that scheduled interest and principal payments will be made in a timely manner. They do not reflect any judgment of market risk. Rating agencies might not always change their credit rating of an issuer in a timely manner to reflect events that could affect the issuer's ability to make timely payments on its obligations. In selecting securities for its portfolio and evaluating their income potential and credit risk, the Fund does not rely solely on ratings by rating organizations but evaluates business and economic factors affecting issuers as well. The ratings definitions of the principal ratings organizations are included in Appendix B to the Statement of Additional Information.

The Fund can invest in debt securities with credit ratings as low as "B," or in equivalent unrated securities. Below investment grade debt securities are commonly known as "junk bonds."

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different types of "derivative" investments. A derivative is an investment whose value depends on (or is derived from) the value of an underlying security, asset, interest rate, index or currency. Derivatives may allow the Fund to increase or decrease its exposure to certain markets or risks.

The Fund may use derivatives to seek to increase its investment return or for hedging purposes. The Fund is not required to use derivatives in seeking its investment objective or for hedging and might not do so.

Options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, mortgage-related securities and "stripped" securities are some of the types of derivatives the Fund can use. The Fund may also use other types of derivatives that are consistent with its investment strategies or for hedging purposes.

The Fund has percentage limits on its use of hedging instruments and is not required to use hedging instruments in seeking its objective.

Hedging. Hedging transactions are intended to reduce the risks of securities in the Fund's portfolio. At times, however, a hedging instrument's value might not be correlated with the investment it is intended to hedge, and the hedge might be unsuccessful. If the Fund uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the strategy could reduce its return or create a loss.

Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may be volatile and may involve significant risks. The underlying security or other instrument on which a derivative is based, or the derivative itself, may not perform the way the Fund expects it to. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. The Fund may also lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer fails to pay the amount due.

Certain derivative investments held by the Fund may be illiquid, making it difficult to close out an unfavorable position. Derivative transactions may require the payment of premiums and can increase portfolio turnover. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or the use of a derivative for hedging might be unsuccessful.

Asset-Backed Securities. Asset-backed securities are fractional interests in pools of loans, other assets or receivables. They are issued by trusts or other special purpose vehicles and are collateralized by the loans, other assets or receivables that make up the pool. The trust or other issuer passes the income from the underlying pool to the investor. Neither the Fund nor the Manager selects the loans or other assets that are included in the pools or the collateral backing those pools. Asset-backed securities are subject to interest rate risk and credit risk. Certain asset-backed securities are subject to prepayment and extension risk.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments that do not have an active trading market, or that have legal or contractual limitations on their resale, are generally referred to as "illiquid" securities. Illiquid securities may be difficult to value or to sell promptly at an acceptable price or may require registration under applicable securities laws before they can be sold publicly. Securities that have limitations on their resale are referred to as "restricted securities." Certain restricted securities that are eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be regarded as illiquid.

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%. The Manager monitors the Fund's holdings of illiquid securities on an ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any of those securities to maintain adequate liquidity.

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund may loan its portfolio securities to brokers, dealers and financial institutions to seek income. The Fund has entered into a securities lending agreement with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs") for that purpose. Under the agreement, Goldman Sachs will generally bear the risk that a borrower may default on its obligation to return loaned securities. The Fund, however, will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including any collateral invested in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may lose money on its investment of cash collateral or may fail to earn sufficient income on its investment to meet its obligations to the borrower. The Fund's portfolio loans must comply with the collateralization and other requirements of the Fund's securities lending agreement, its securities lending procedures and applicable government regulations.

The Fund limits loans of portfolio securities to not more than 25% of its net assets.

Conflicts of Interest. The investment activities of the Manager and its affiliates in regard to other accounts they manage may present conflicts of interest that could disadvantage the Fund and its shareholders. The Manager or its affiliates may provide investment advisory services to other funds and accounts that have investment objectives or strategies that differ from, or are contrary to, those of the Fund. That may result in another fund or account holding investment positions that are adverse to the Fund's investment strategies or activities. Other funds or accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates may have conflicting interests arising from investment objectives that are similar to those of the Fund. Those funds and accounts may engage in, and compete for, the same types of securities or other investments as the Fund or invest in securities of the same issuers that have different, and possibly conflicting, characteristics. The trading and other investment activities of those other funds or accounts may be carried out without regard to the investment activities of the Fund and, as a result, the value of securities held by the Fund or the Fund's investment strategies may be adversely affected. The Fund's investment performance will usually differ from the performance of other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates and the Fund may experience losses during periods in which other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates achieve gains. The Manager has adopted policies and procedures designed to address potential conflicts of interest identified by the Manager; however, such policies and procedures may also limit the Fund's investment activities and affect its performance.

The Fund offers its shares to separate accounts of different insurance companies, as an investment for their variable annuity, variable life and other investment product contracts. While the Fund does not foresee any disadvantages to contract owners from these arrangements, it is possible that the interests of owners of different contracts participating in the Fund through different separate accounts might conflict. For example, a conflict could arise because of differences in tax treatment.

Investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund can invest its free cash balances in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, to provide liquidity or for defensive purposes. The Fund invests in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, rather than purchasing individual short-term investments, to seek a higher yield than it could obtain on its own. Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and is part of the Oppenheimer Family of Funds. It invests in a variety of short-term, high-quality, dollar-denominated money market instruments issued by the U.S. Government, domestic and foreign corporations, other financial institutions, and other entities. Those investments may have a higher rate of return than the investments that would be available to the Fund directly. At the time of an investment, the Fund cannot always predict what the yield of the Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund will be because of the wide variety of instruments that fund holds in its portfolio. The return on those investments may, in some cases, be lower than the return that would have been derived from other types of investments that would provide liquidity. As a shareholder, the Fund will be subject to its proportional share of the expenses of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund's Class E shares, including its advisory fee. However, the Manager will waive a portion of the Fund's advisory fee to the extent of the Fund's share of the advisory fee paid to the Manager by Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund.

Cash and Cash Equivalents. Under normal market conditions the Fund can invest up to 15% of its net assets in cash and cash equivalents, including shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. This strategy would be used primarily for cash management or liquidity purposes. To the extent that the Fund uses this strategy, it might reduce its opportunities to seek its objective of long-term growth of capital.

Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. For temporary defensive purposes in times of adverse or unstable market, economic or political conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in investments that may be inconsistent with the Fund's principal investment strategies. Generally, the Fund would invest in shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund or in the types of money market instruments in which Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund invests or in other short-term U.S. Government securities. The Fund might also hold these types of securities as interim investments pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of Fund shares or the sale of Fund 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.

Portfolio Turnover. A change in the securities held by the Fund is known as "portfolio turnover." The Fund may engage in active and frequent trading to try to achieve its investment objective and may have a portfolio turnover rate of over 100% annually. Increased portfolio turnover may result in higher brokerage fees or other transaction costs, which can reduce performance. If the Fund realizes capital gains when it sells investments, it generally must pay those gains to shareholders, increasing its taxable distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during past fiscal years.

 

CHANGES TO THE FUND'S INVESTMENT POLICIES. The Fund's fundamental investment policies cannot be changed without the approval of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares, however, the Fund's Board can change non-fundamental policies without a shareholder vote. Significant policy changes will be described in supplements to this prospectus. The Fund's investment objective is not a fundamental policy but will not be changed by the Board without advance notice to shareholders. Investment restrictions that are fundamental policies are listed in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information. An investment policy is not fundamental unless this prospectus or the Statement of Additional Information states that it is.

 

PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS

The Fund's portfolio holdings are included in semi-annual and annual reports that are distributed to its shareholders within 60 days after the close of the applicable reporting period. The Fund also discloses its portfolio holdings in its Statements of Investments on Form N-Q, which are public filings that are required to be made with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 60 days after the end of the Fund's first and third fiscal quarters. Therefore, the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters. 

A description of the Fund's policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of its portfolio holdings is available in the Fund's Statement of Additional Information.

How the Fund is Managed

THE MANAGER. OppenheimerFunds, Inc., 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 1960. The Manager and a subsidiary managed funds with more than 6 million shareholder accounts as of December 31, 2008. The Manager is located at Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10281-1008.

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, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, and 0.60% of the average annual net assets over $800 million. The Fund's management fee for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 was 0.75% of the Fund's average annual net assets.

Effective January 1, 2007, the Manager voluntarily agreed to an expense waiver of any total expenses over 1.25% for Non-Service Shares and over 1.50% for Service Shares on an annual basis. Effective May 1, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily undertaken to limit the Fund's total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of average daily net assets will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. The expense waiver is a voluntary undertaking and may be amended or withdrawn by the Manager at any time without notice to shareholders. 

A discussion regarding the basis for the Board of Trustees' approval of the Fund's investment advisory contract is available in the Fund's Annual Report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Portfolio Managers. The Fund's portfolio is managed by Mitch Williams and John Damian, who are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund's investments. Mr. Williams and Mr. Damian have been portfolio managers and Vice Presidents of the Fund since January 2009.

Mr. Williams, CFA, has been a Vice President of the Manager since July 2006 and a Senior Research Analyst of the Manager since April 2002. He was a Vice President and Research Analyst for Evergreen Funds from October 2000 to January 2002. Mr. Williams is a portfolio manager of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

Mr. Damian has been Head of Value Equity Investments and Senior Vice President of the Manager since February 2007. He was a Vice President of the Manager from September 2001 to February 2007. He was a Senior Analyst/Director for Citigroup Asset Management  from November 1999 to September 2001. Mr. Damian is a portfolio manager and officer of other portfolios in the OppenheimerFunds complex.

The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio managers' compensation, other accounts they manage and their ownership of Fund shares.

INVESTING IN THE FUND 

How to Buy and Sell Shares

You may only submit instructions for buying or selling shares of the Fund to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Fund or its Transfer Agent. Information about your investment in the Fund can only be obtained from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Fund's Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records.

WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund currently offers two 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 usually have different share prices. The Service Shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. The expenses of that plan are described below. The Non-Service Shares are not subject to a service and distribution plan.

 

THE PRICE OF FUND SHARES. Fund shares are sold to participating insurance companies at their net asset value per share. The net asset value that applies to a purchase order is the next one calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. Fund shares are redeemed at the next net asset value calculated after the insurance company (as the Fund's designated agent to receive purchase orders) receives the order from its contract owner, in proper form. The Fund's Transfer Agent generally must receive the purchase or redemption order from the insurance company by 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time on the next regular business day.

 The Fund does not impose any sales charge on purchases of its shares. If there are any charges imposed under the variable annuity, variable life or other contract through which Fund shares are purchased, they are described in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company. The participating insurance company's prospectus may also include information regarding the time you must submit your purchase and redemption orders.

The sale and redemption price for Fund shares will change from day to day because the value of the securities in its portfolio and its expenses fluctuate. The redemption price will normally differ for different classes of shares. The redemption price of your shares may be more or less than their original cost.

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 (the "NYSE"), on each day the NYSE is open for trading (referred to in this prospectus as a "regular business day"). The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, but may close earlier on some days.

The Fund determines the net assets of each class of shares by subtracting the class-specific expenses and the amount of the Fund's liabilities attributable to the share class from the market value of the Fund's securities and other assets attributable to the share class. The Fund's "other assets" might include, for example, cash and interest or dividends from its portfolio securities that have been accrued but not yet collected. The Fund's securities are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations.

The net asset value per share for each share class is determined by dividing the net assets of the class by the number of outstanding shares of that class.

Fair Value Pricing. If market quotations are not readily available or (in the Manager's judgment) do not accurately reflect the fair value of a security, or if after the close of the principal market on which a security held by the Fund is traded and before the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated that day, an event occurs that the Manager learns of and believes in the exercise of its judgment will cause a material change in the value of that security from the closing price of the security on the principal market on which it is traded, that security may be valued by another method that the Board believes would more accurately reflect the security's fair value.

In determining whether current market prices are readily available and reliable, the Manager monitors the information it receives in the ordinary course of its investment management responsibilities. It seeks to identify significant events that it believes, in good faith, will affect the market prices of the securities held by the Fund. Those may include events affecting specific issuers (for example, a halt in trading of the securities of an issuer on an exchange during the trading day) or events affecting securities markets (for example, a foreign securities market closes early because of a natural disaster). The Board has adopted valuation procedures for the Fund and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for fair value determinations to the Manager's "Valuation Committee." Those determinations may include consideration of recent transactions in comparable securities, information relating to the specific security, developments in the markets and their performance, and current valuations of foreign or U.S. indices. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Board at its next scheduled meeting after the fair valuations are determined.

The Fund's use of fair value pricing procedures involves subjective judgments and it is possible that the fair value determined for a security may be materially different from the value that could be realized upon the sale of that security. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Fund could obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security at approximately the same time at which the Fund determines its net asset value per share.

  Pricing Foreign Securities. The Fund may use fair value pricing more frequently for securities primarily traded on foreign exchanges. Because many foreign markets close hours before the Fund, values its foreign portfolio holdings, significant events, including broad market movements, may occur during that time that could potentially affect the values of foreign securities held by the Fund.

The Manager believes that foreign securities values may be affected by volatility that occurs in U.S. markets after the close of foreign securities markets. The Manager's fair valuation procedures therefore include a procedure whereby foreign securities prices may be "fair valued" to take those factors into account.

Because some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund shares.

 

HOW CAN YOU BUY FUND SHARES? Shares of the Fund may be purchased only by separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. Individual investors cannot buy shares of the Fund directly. Please refer to the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company for information on how to select the Fund as an investment option. That prospectus will indicate which share class you may be eligible to purchase.

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

HOW CAN YOU REDEEM FUND SHARES? Only the participating insurance companies that hold Fund shares in their separate accounts can place orders to redeem shares. Contract holders and policy holders should not directly contact the Fund or its transfer agent to request a redemption of Fund shares. The Fund normally sends payment by Federal Funds wire to the insurance company's account on the next business day after the Fund receives the order (and no later than seven days after the Fund's receipt of the order). Under unusual circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission, payment may be delayed or suspended. Contract owners should refer to the withdrawal or surrender instructions in the accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company.

 

Limitations on Frequent Transactions


 

Frequent purchases and redemptions of Fund shares may interfere with the Manager's ability to manage the Fund's investments efficiently, may increase its transaction and administrative costs and may affect its performance, depending on various factors, such as the size of the Fund, the nature of its investments, the amount of Fund assets the portfolio manager maintains in cash or cash equivalents, and the aggregate dollar amount, the number and the frequency of trades.

If large dollar amounts are involved in frequent redemption transactions, the Fund might be required to sell portfolio securities at unfavorable times to meet those transaction requests, and the Fund's brokerage or administrative expenses might be increased. Therefore, the Manager and the Fund's Board have adopted the following policies and procedures to detect and prevent frequent and/or excessive purchase and redemption activity, while addressing the needs of investors who seek liquidity in their investment. There is no guarantee that those policies and procedures, described below, will be sufficient to identify and deter all excessive short-term trading. If the Transfer Agent is not able to detect and curtail such activity, frequent trading could occur in the Fund.

Policies on Disruptive Activity

The Transfer Agent and the Distributor, on behalf of the Fund, have entered into agreements with participating insurance companies designed to detect and restrict excessive short-term trading activity by contract or policy owners or their financial advisers in their accounts. The Transfer Agent generally does not consider periodic asset allocation or re-balancing that affects a portion of the Fund shares held in the account of a policy or contract owner to be "excessive trading." However, the Transfer Agent has advised participating insurance companies that it generally considers certain other types of trading activity to be "excessive," such as making a "transfer" out of the Fund within 30 days after buying Fund shares (by the sale of the recently purchased Fund shares and the purchase of shares of another fund) or making more than six "round-trip transfers" between funds during one year. The agreements require participating insurance companies to provide transaction information to the Fund and to execute Fund instructions to restrict trading in Fund shares.

 A participating insurance company may also have its own policies and procedures and may impose its own restrictions or limitations to discourage short-term and/or excessive trading by its policy or contract owners. Those policies and procedures may be different from the Fund's in certain respects. You should refer to the prospectus for your insurance company variable annuity contract for specific information about the insurance company's policies. Under certain circumstances, policy or contract owners may be required to transmit purchase or redemption orders only by first class U.S. mail.

Monitoring the Policies. The Fund's policies and procedures for detecting and deterring frequent or excessive trading are administered by the Fund's Transfer Agent. However, the Transfer Agent presently does not have the ability to directly monitor trading activity in the accounts of policy or contract owners within the participating insurance companies' accounts. The Transfer Agent's ability to monitor and deter excessive short-term trading in such insurance company accounts ultimately depends on the capability and diligence of each participating insurance company, under their agreements with the Transfer Agent, the Distributor and the Fund, in monitoring and controlling the trading activity of the policy or contract owners in the insurance company's accounts.

The Transfer Agent will attempt to monitor the net effect on the Fund's assets from the purchase and redemption activity in the accounts of participating insurance companies and will seek to identify patterns that may suggest excessive trading by the contract or policy owners who invest in the insurance company's accounts. If the Transfer Agent believes it has observed evidence of possible excessive trading activity, it will ask the participating insurance companies or other registered owners to provide information about the transaction activity of the contract or policy holders in their respective accounts, and to take appropriate action. In that case, the insurance company must confirm to the Transfer Agent that appropriate action has been taken to curtail the excessive trading activity.

The Transfer Agent will, subject to the limitations described in this section, limit or terminate the trading activity of any person, group or account that it believes would be excessive or disruptive. However, the Transfer Agent may not be able to detect or curtail all such trading activity in the Fund. The Transfer Agent will evaluate trading activity on a case by case basis and the limitations placed on trading may vary between accounts.

Right to Refuse Purchase Orders. The Fund's Distributor or Transfer Agent may, in their discretion, refuse any purchase order and are not obligated to provide notice before rejecting an order.

  

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS


Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares to pay the Distributor for distribution related services, personal services and account maintenance for those shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays the Distributor quarterly at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of the Fund's Service Shares. Because these fees are paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time they will increase the operating expenses of the Service Shares and may cost you more than other types of fees or sales charges. As a result, the Service Shares may have lower performance compared to the Fund's shares that are not subject to a service fee.

     Use of Plan Fees: The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product for providing personal services and account maintenance for variable contract owners that hold Service Shares.

 

PAYMENTS TO FINANCIAL INTERMEDIARIES AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. The Manager and the Distributor, in their discretion, may also make payments to brokers, dealers and other financial intermediaries or service providers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing activities. Those payments are made out of the Manager's and/or the Distributor's own resources and/or assets, including from the revenues or profits derived from the advisory fees the Manager receives from the Fund. Those cash payments, which may be substantial, are paid to many firms having business relationships with the Manager and Distributor and are in addition to any distribution fees, servicing fees, or transfer agency fees paid directly or indirectly by the Fund to these financial intermediaries and any commissions the Distributor pays to those firms out of the sales charges paid by investors. Payments by the Manager or Distributor from their own resources are not reflected in the tables in the "Fees and Expenses of the Fund" section of this prospectus because they are not paid by the Fund.

The financial intermediaries that may receive those payments include firms that offer and sell Fund shares to their clients, or provide shareholder services to the Fund, or both, and receive compensation for those activities. The financial intermediaries that may receive payments include securities brokers, dealers or financial advisers, sponsors of fund "supermarkets," sponsors of fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, sponsors of college and retirement savings programs, banks, trust companies and other intermediaries offering products that hold Fund shares, and insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products.

In general, these payments to financial intermediaries can be categorized as "distribution-related" or "servicing" payments. Payments for distribution-related expenses, such as marketing or promotional expenses, are often referred to as "revenue sharing." Revenue sharing payments may be made on the basis of the sales of shares attributable to that intermediary, the average net assets of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds attributable to the accounts of that intermediary and its clients, negotiated lump sum payments for distribution services provided, or similar fees. In some circumstances, revenue sharing payments may create an incentive for a financial intermediary or its representatives to recommend or offer shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds to its customers. These payments also may give an intermediary an incentive to cooperate with the Distributor's marketing efforts. A revenue sharing payment may, for example, qualify the Fund for preferred status with the intermediary receiving the payment or provide representatives of the Distributor with access to representatives of the intermediary's sales force, in some cases on a preferential basis over funds of competitors. Additionally, as firm support, the Manager or Distributor may reimburse expenses related to educational seminars and "due diligence" or training meetings (to the extent permitted by applicable laws or the rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), formerly known as the NASD) designed to increase sales representatives' awareness about Oppenheimer funds, including travel and lodging expenditures. However, the Manager does not consider a financial intermediary's sale of shares of the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds when selecting brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the funds.

Various factors are used to determine whether to make revenue sharing payments. Possible considerations include, without limitation, the types of services provided by the intermediary, sales of Fund shares, the redemption rates on accounts of clients of the intermediary or overall asset levels of Oppenheimer funds held for or by clients of the intermediary, the willingness of the intermediary to allow the Distributor to provide educational and training support for the intermediary's sales personnel relating to the Oppenheimer funds, the availability of the Oppenheimer funds on the intermediary's sales system, as well as the overall quality of the services provided by the intermediary and the Manager or Distributor's relationship with the intermediary. The Manager and Distributor have adopted guidelines for assessing and implementing each prospective revenue sharing arrangement. To the extent that financial intermediaries receiving distribution-related payments from the Manager or Distributor sell more shares of the Oppenheimer funds or retain more shares of the funds in their client accounts, the Manager and Distributor benefit from the incremental management and other fees they receive with respect to those assets.

       Payments may also be made by the Manager, the Distributor or the Transfer Agent to financial intermediaries to compensate or reimburse them for administrative or other client services provided such as sub-transfer agency services for shareholders or retirement plan participants, omnibus accounting or sub-accounting, participation in networking arrangements, account set-up, recordkeeping and other shareholder services. Payments may also be made for administrative services related to the distribution of Fund shares through the intermediary. Firms that may receive servicing fees include retirement plan administrators, qualified tuition program sponsors, banks and trust companies, insurance companies that offer variable annuity or variable life insurance products, and others. These fees may be used by the service provider to offset or reduce fees that would otherwise be paid directly to them by certain account holders, such as retirement plans. The Statement of Additional Information contains more information about revenue sharing and service payments made by the Manager or the Distributor. Your broker, dealer or other financial intermediary may charge you fees or commissions in addition to those disclosed in this prospectus. You should ask your financial intermediary for details about any such payments it receives from the Manager or the Distributor and their affiliates, or any other fees or expenses it charges.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS. The Fund intends to declare and pay dividends annually from any net investment income. The Fund may also realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio securities, in which case it may make distributions out of any net short-term or long-term capital gains annually. The Fund may also make supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end of its fiscal year. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or capital gains distributions in a particular year.

Dividends and distributions are paid separately for each share class. Because of the higher expenses on Service Shares, the dividends and capital gains distributions paid on those shares will generally be lower than for other Fund shares.

Receiving Dividends and Distributions. Any dividends and capital gains distributions will be automatically reinvested in additional Fund shares for the account of the participating insurance company, unless the insurance company elects to have dividends or distributions paid in cash.

 

TAXES. For a discussion of the tax status of a variable annuity contract, a variable life insurance policy or other investment product of a participating insurance company, please refer to the accompanying prospectus of your participating insurance company. Because shares of the Fund may be purchased only through insurance company separate accounts for variable annuity contracts, variable life insurance policies or other investment products, any dividends from net investment income and distributions of net realized short-term and long-term capital gains will be taxable, if at all, to the participating insurance company. Those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts, however.

The Fund has qualified and intends to qualify each year to be taxed as a regulated investment company under the Internal Revenue Code by satisfying certain income, asset diversification and income distribution requirements, but reserves the right not to so qualify. In each year that it qualifies as a regulated investment company, the Fund will not be subject to federal income taxes on its income that it distributes to shareholders.

This information is only a summary of certain Federal income tax information about your investment. You are encouraged to consult your tax adviser about the effect of an investment in the Fund on your particular tax situation and about any changes to the Internal Revenue Code that may occur from time to time. Additional information about the tax effects of investing in the Fund is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.

Financial Highlights

ABOUT THE FUNDS

Additional Information About the Funds' Investment Policies and Risks

The investment objective, the principal investment policies and the main risks of the Funds are described in the Funds' Prospectuses. This Statement of Additional Information ("SAI") contains supplemental information about those policies and risks and the types of securities that the Funds' investment manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the "Manager"), can select for the Funds. Additional information is also provided about the strategies that each Fund may use to try to achieve its objective. The full name of each Fund is shown on the cover page, the word "Oppenheimer" is omitted from these names in the rest of this document, to conserve space.

The Funds' Investment Policies. The composition of the Funds' portfolios and the techniques and strategies that the Manager uses in selecting portfolio securities will vary over time. The Funds are not required to use all of the investment techniques and strategies described below at all times in seeking their goals. They may use some of the special investment techniques and strategies at some times or not at all.

In selecting securities for the Funds' portfolios, 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.


The Funds are categorized by the types of investment they make. Capital Appreciation Fund/VA, Global Securities Fund/VA, Main Street Small Cap Fund®/VA, MidCap Fund/VA and Value Fund/VA can be categorized as "Equity Funds." High Income Fund/VA, Core Bond Fund/VA, and Strategic Bond Fund/VA can be categorized as "Fixed Income Funds." Balanced Fund/VA and Main Street Fund®/VA share the investment characteristics (and certain of the investment policies) of both the Equity Funds and the Fixed Income Funds, depending upon the allocations determined from time to time by their respective portfolio managers. However, if a Fund is referred to in general, the discussion below of particular investments and strategies indicates which Funds can use that investment or technique as part of their investment program. For example, some investments can be held by only some of the Funds and some can be held by all. Please refer to the prospectus of a particular Fund for an explanation of its principal investment policies and risks. The allocation of Main Street Fund®/VA's portfolio to equity securities is generally substantially larger than its allocation to fixed-income securities. Money Fund/VA's investment policies are explained separately; however, discussion below about investment restrictions, repurchase agreements, illiquid securities and loans of portfolio securities also apply to Money Fund/VA.

|X|     Investments in Equity Securities. The Equity Funds focus their investments in equity securities, which include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and securities convertible into common stock. Certain equity securities may be selected not only for their appreciation possibilities but because they may provide dividend income. At times, a Fund may have substantial amounts of its assets invested in securities of issuers in one or more capitalization ranges, based upon the Manager's use of its investment strategies and its judgment of where the best market opportunities are to seek a Fund's objective.

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- and mid- cap issuers may be subject to greater price volatility in general than securities of large-cap companies. Therefore, to the degree that a Fund has investments in smaller capitalization companies at times of market volatility, that Fund's share prices may fluctuate more. Main Street Small Cap Fund®/VA will invest primarily in securities of small-cap issuers, but, for the other Equity Funds those investments may be limited to the extent the Manager believes that such investments would be inconsistent with the goal of preservation of principal.

·     Growth Investing. In selecting equity investments, the portfolio managers for the Equity Funds may from time to time use a growth investing style, a value investing style, or a combination of both. In using a growth approach, the portfolio managers seek 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.

Growth companies 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 Funds look for growth companies with strong, capable management, sound financial and accounting policies, successful product development and marketing and other factors.

·     Value Investing. In selecting equity investments, the portfolio managers for the Equity Funds in particular may from time to time use a value investing style. In using a value approach, the portfolio managers seek stock and other equity securities that appear to be temporarily undervalued, by various measures, such as price/earnings ratios, rather than seeking stocks of "growth" issuers. This approach is subject to change and might not necessarily be used in all cases. Value investing seeks stocks having prices that are low in relation to their real worth or future prospects, in the hope that a Fund will realize appreciation in the value of its holdings when other investors realize the intrinsic value of the stock.

3


Using value investing requires research as to the issuer's underlying financial condition and prospects. Some of the measures that can be used to identify these securities include, among others:

·     

Price/Earnings ratio, which is the stock's price divided by its earnings per share. A stock having a price/earnings ratio lower than its historical range, or the market as a whole or that of similar companies may offer attractive investment opportunities.


·     

Price/book value ratio, which is the stock price divided by the book value of the company per share, which measures the company's stock price in relation to its asset value.


·     

Dividend Yield is measured by dividing the annual dividend by the stock price per share.


·     

Valuation of Assets, which compares the stock price to the value of the company's underlying assets, including their projected value in the marketplace and liquidation value.


·     

Convertible Securities. Convertible securities are debt securities that are convertible into an issuer's common stock. Convertible securities rank senior to common stock in a corporation's capital structure and therefore are subject to less risk than common stock in case of the issuer's bankruptcy or liquidation.


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: 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.

While many convertible securities are a form of debt security, in some cases their conversion feature (allowing conversion into equity securities) causes the Manager to regard them more as "equity equivalents." In those cases, the credit rating assigned to the security has less impact on the Manager's investment decision than in the case of non-convertible fixed income securities. Convertible securities are subject to the credit risks and interest rate risks described below in "Investments in Bonds and other Debt Securities."

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

(1)     

whether, at the option of the investor, the convertible security can be exchanged for a fixed number of shares of common stock of the issuer,


(2)     

whether the issuer of the convertible securities has restated its earnings per share of common stock on a fully diluted basis (considering the effect of conversion of the convertible securities), and


(3)     

the extent to which the convertible security may be a defensive "equity substitute," providing the ability to participate in any appreciation in the price of the issuer's common stock.


·     

Rights and Warrants. The Funds may invest in warrants or rights. 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|     Preferred Stocks. Preferred stocks are equity securities but have certain attributes of debt securities. 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 the issuer can pay dividends on common shares.

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 for their call or redemption prior to maturity which can have a negative effect on their prices when interest rates decline. Preferred stock may be "participating" stock, which means that it may be entitled to a dividend exceeding the stated dividend in certain cases.

Preferred stocks are equity securities because they do not constitute a liability of the issuer and therefore do not offer the same degree of protection of capital as debt securities and may not offer the same degree of assurance of continued income as debt securities. The rights of preferred stock on distribution of a corporation's assets in the event of its 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 its liquidation.

|X|     Investments in Bonds and Other Debt Securities. The Fixed Income Funds in particular can invest in bonds, debentures and other debt securities to seek current income as part of their investment objectives.

A 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., ("Moody's") or at least "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Rating Services ("S&P") or Fitch, Inc. ("Fitch") or that have comparable ratings by another nationally recognized 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 that a Fund buys are unrated, to be considered part of a 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. Because lower-grade securities tend to offer higher yields than investment grade securities, a Fund may invest in lower grade securities if the Manager is trying to achieve greater income (and, in some cases, the appreciation possibilities of lower-grade securities may be a reason they are selected for a Fund's portfolio). High-yield convertible debt securities might be selected as "equity substitutes," as described above but are subject to a Fund's limitation on its investment in debt securities as stated in the Prospectus.


As mentioned above, "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 S&P or Fitch, Inc. or similar ratings by other nationally recognized 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 a Fund's assets that can be invested in lower-grade securities.

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

·     

Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of a debt security to meet interest and principal payment obligations as they become due. Some of the special credit risks of lower-grade securities are discussed in the Prospectus. 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 SAI.


·     

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

n     Event-Linked Bonds. The Funds may invest in "event-linked" bonds. Event-linked bonds, which are sometimes referred to as "catastrophe" bonds, are fixed income securities for which the return of principal and payment of interest is contingent on the non-occurrence of a specific trigger event, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or other occurrence that leads to physical or economic loss. In some cases, the trigger event will not be deemed to have occurred unless the event is of a certain magnitude (based on scientific readings) or causes a certain measurable amount of loss to the issuer, a particular industry group or a reference index. If the trigger event occurs prior to maturity, a Fund may lose all or a portion of its principal and additional interest. The Funds may also invest in similar bonds where a Fund may lose all or a portion of its principal and additional interest if the mortality rate in a geographic area exceeds a stated threshold prior to maturity whether or not a particular catastrophic event has occurred. 

Event-linked bonds may be issued by government agencies, insurance companies, reinsurers, and financial institutions, among other issuers, or special purpose vehicles associated with the foregoing. Often event-linked bonds provide for extensions of maturity in order to process and audit loss claims in those cases when a trigger event has occurred or is likely to have occurred. An extension of maturity may increase a bond's volatility.

Event-linked bonds may expose the Funds to certain other risks, including issuer default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations, liquidity risk and adverse tax consequences. Lack of a liquid market may result in higher transaction costs and the possibility that a Fund may be forced to liquidate positions when it would not be advantageous to do so. Event-linked bonds are typically rated by one or more nationally recognized statistical rating organization and a Fund will only invest in event-linked bonds that meet the credit quality requirements for the Fund.

|X|     Floating Rate and Variable Rate Obligations. Some securities the Funds can purchase have variable or floating interest rates. Variable rates are adjusted at stated periodic intervals. Variable rate obligations can have a demand feature that allows the Funds 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 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 Funds' 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|     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 below, 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 any required payments of interest or repayments of principal are not made, that Fund could suffer losses 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, a 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 below. Unlike mortgage-backed securities, asset-backed securities typically do not have the benefit of a security interest in the underlying collateral.

|X|     Mortgage-Related Securities. Mortgage-related securities (also referred to as mortgage-backed 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). Privately issued mortgage-related securities have some credit risk, as the underlying mortgage may not fully collateralize the obligation and full payment of them is not guaranteed. Both types of mortgage-related securities are subject to interest rate risks and prepayment risks, as described in the Prospectuses.

As with other debt securities, the prices of mortgage-related securities tend to move inversely to changes in interest rates. The Fixed Income Funds and Value Fund/VA 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 that Fund's shares. If a mortgage-related security has been purchased at a premium, all or part of the premium that 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, that Fund may fail to recoup its initial investment on the security.

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

·     Forward Rolls. The Funds can enter into "forward roll" transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities (also referred to as "mortgage dollar rolls"). In this type of transaction, a 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 a Fund in excess of the yield on the securities that have been sold.

The Funds will only enter into "covered" rolls. To assure its future payment of the purchase price, the Funds 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.

·     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 trenches 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 government agencies or federally-chartered corporate entities referred to as "instrumentalities." The obligations of U.S. government agencies or instrumentalities in which the Funds 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 not be able to assert a claim against the United States if the issuing agency or instrumentality does not meet its commitment. The Funds will invest in securities of U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities only if the Manager is satisfied that the credit risk with respect to the agency or instrumentality is minimal.

·     

U.S. Treasury Obligations. These include Treasury bills (maturities of one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (maturities of one to 10 years), and Treasury bonds (maturities of more than 10 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 Funds can buy these TIPS, which 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 ("GNMA") 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 ("FHLMC") obligations ("Freddie Macs").


n     

U.S. Government Mortgage-Related Securities. The Funds 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 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 mortgage or a pool of mortgages that are insured by the Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") or the Farmers Home Administration ("FMHA") or guaranteed by the Veterans Administration ("VA").


The Ginnie Maes in which the Funds invest are of the "fully modified pass-through" type. They provide that the registered holders of the Ginnie Maes 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 Funds are guaranteed as to timely payment of principal and interest by GNMA. In giving that guaranty, GNMA expects 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 Ginnie Maes. However, if those payments are insufficient, the guaranty agreements between the issuers of the Ginnie Maes 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 Funds) 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 Funds with respect to the mortgages underlying the Ginnie Maes owned by the Funds. All of the mortgages in the pools relating to the Ginnie Maes in the Funds are subject to prepayment 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 (FHLMC) 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.


n     Zero-Coupon U.S. Government Securities. The Funds 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.

A Fund's investment in zero-coupon securities may cause that 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, a 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.

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

|X|     Participation Interests. The Funds can invest in participation interests, subject to the Funds' limitation on investments in illiquid investments. A participation interest is an undivided interest in a loan made by the issuing financial institution in the proportion that the buyer's participation interest bears to the total principal amount of the loan. The issuing financial institution may have no obligation to the Funds other than to pay the Funds the proportionate amount of the principal and interest payments they receive.

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 Funds 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 Funds' shares. If the issuing financial institution fails to perform its obligations under the participation agreement, the Funds might incur costs and delays in realizing payment and suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

|X|     Foreign Securities. The Equity Funds and the Fixed Income Funds may invest in foreign securities, and Global Securities Fund/VA expects to have substantial investments in foreign securities. These include equity securities issued by foreign companies and debt securities issued or guaranteed 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. Value Fund/VA can purchase up to 25% of its total assets in certain equity and debt securities issued or guaranteed by foreign companies or of foreign governments or their agencies and as stated in the Prospectus, Value Fund/VA does not concentrate 25% or more of its total assets in the securities of any one foreign government.

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 a 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 Funds 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 Funds have available for distribution. Because a portion of the Funds' investment income may be received in foreign currencies, the Funds will be required to compute their income in U.S. dollars for distribution to shareholders, and therefore the Funds will absorb the cost of currency fluctuations. After the Funds have distributed income, subsequent foreign currency losses may result in the Funds' 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 Funds 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 Fixed Income Funds 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 Fixed Income Funds 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:


·     

reduction of income by foreign taxes;


·     

fluctuation in value of foreign investments due to changes in currency rates or currency control regulations (for example, currency blockage);


·     

transaction charges for currency exchange;


·     

lack of public information about foreign issuers;


·     

lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards in foreign countries comparable to those applicable to domestic issuers;


·     

less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;


·     

greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the U.S.;


·     

less governmental regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and brokers than in the U.S.;


·     

greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;


·     

higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;


·     

increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio transactions or loss of certificates for portfolio securities;


·     

possibilities in some countries of expropriation, confiscatory taxation, currency devaluation, political, financial or social instability or adverse diplomatic developments; and


·     

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 a Fund's goal of preservation of principal.


n     Portfolio Turnover. "Portfolio turnover" describes the rates at which the Funds traded their portfolio securities during their 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 Funds' portfolio turnover rates will fluctuate from year to year, and any of the Funds may have portfolio turnover rates of more than 100% annually.

Other Investment Techniques and Strategies. In seeking their respective objectives, the Funds may from time to time use the types of investment strategies and investments described below. They are not required to use all of these strategies at all times, and at times may not use them.
 

|X|     Investing in Small, Unseasoned Companies. A Fund may invest in securities of small, unseasoned companies, subject to limits (if any) stated in that Fund's Prospectus. 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 or no trading market, which may adversely affect a Fund's ability to value them or to dispose of them and can reduce the price that 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 a Fund is attempting to dispose of their holdings of that security. In that case, a Fund might receive a lower price for its holdings than might otherwise be obtained.

|X|     When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions. The Funds 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 Funds. During the period between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by a Fund to the issuer and no interest accrues to that Fund from the investment until it receives the security at settlement. There is a risk of loss to a Fund if the value of the security changes prior to the settlement date, and there is the risk that the other party may not perform.

The Funds 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 a 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 that Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain the security at a price and yield the Manager considers to be advantageous.

When a 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 a Fund will enter into delayed-delivery or when-issued purchase transactions to acquire securities, it may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement. If a 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 against a forward commitment, it may incur a gain or loss.

At the time a 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 that Fund's net asset value. In a sale transaction, it records the proceeds to be received. That Fund will identify on its books liquid assets at least equal in value to the value of that Fund's purchase commitments until that Fund pays for the investment.

When-issued and delayed-delivery transactions can be used by the Funds 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, a 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, a 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|     Zero-Coupon Securities. The Fixed Income Funds may buy zero-coupon and delayed interest securities, and "stripped" securities of foreign government issuers, which may or may not be backed by the "full faith and credit" of the issuing foreign government, and of domestic and foreign corporations. The Fixed Income Funds and Value Fund/VA may also buy zero-coupon and "stripped" U.S. government securities. Zero-coupon securities issued by foreign governments and by corporations will be subject to greater credit risks than U.S. government zero-coupon securities.

|X|     "Stripped" Mortgage-Related Securities. The Fixed Income Funds and Value Fund/VA 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, a 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|     Repurchase Agreements. The Funds may acquire securities subject to repurchase agreements. They may do so for liquidity purposes to meet anticipated redemptions of Funds shares, or pending the investment of the proceeds from sales of Funds shares, or pending the settlement of portfolio securities transactions, or for temporary defensive purposes, as described below.

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

The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery pursuant to the resale typically occurs within one to five days of the purchase. Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are subject to each Fund's limit on holding illiquid investments. No Fund will enter into a repurchase agreement that causes more than 15% of its net assets (for Money Fund/VA, 10%) to be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days. There is no limit on the amount of a 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, are collateralized by the underlying security. The Funds' repurchase agreements require that at all times while the repurchase agreements are 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 Funds 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.

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Funds, along with other affiliated entities managed by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint repurchase accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. government securities. Securities that are collateral for repurchase agreements are financial assets subject to the Funds' entitlement orders through its securities account at its custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each joint repurchase arrangement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention or sale of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

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

The Funds may also acquire restricted securities through private placements. Those securities have contractual restrictions on their public resale. Those restrictions might limit a Fund's ability to dispose of the securities and might lower the amount that Fund could realize upon the sale.

The Funds have 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, 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 Funds' 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.

n     

Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Funds may lend its portfolio securities pursuant to a Securities Lending Agency Agreement (the "Securities Lending Agreement") with Goldman Sachs Bank USA, doing business as Goldman Sachs Agency Lending ("Goldman Sachs"), subject to the restrictions stated in the Prospectus. The Funds will lend portfolio securities to attempt to increase its income. Goldman Sachs has agreed, in general, to guarantee the obligations of borrowers to return loaned securities and to be responsible for certain expenses relating to securities lending. Under the Securities Lending Agreement, the Funds' securities lending procedures and applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the Funds must receive collateral from the borrower consisting of cash, bank letters of credit or securities of the U.S. Government (or its agencies or instrumentalities). On each business day, the amount of collateral that the Funds have received must at least equal the value of the loaned securities. If the Funds receive cash collateral from the borrower, the Funds may invest that cash in certain high quality, short-term investments, including money market funds advised by the Manager, specified in its securities lending procedures. The Funds will be responsible for the risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including the risk that the Funds may lose money on the investment or may fail to earn sufficient income to meet its obligations to the borrower.


The terms of the Funds' portfolio loans must comply with all applicable regulations and with the Funds' Securities Lending Procedures adopted by the Board. The terms of the loans must permit the Funds to recall loaned securities on five business days' notice and the Funds will seek to recall loaned securities in time to vote on any matters that the Manager determines would have a material effect on the Funds' investment. The Securities Lending Agreement may be terminated by either Goldman Sachs or the Fund on 30 days' written notice.

|X|     Borrowing for Leverage. Each Fund has the ability to borrow from banks on an unsecured basis. Each Fund has undertaken to limit borrowing to 25% of the value of that Fund's net assets, which is further limited to 10% if borrowing is for a purpose other than to facilitate redemptions. Investing borrowed funds in portfolio securities is a speculative technique known as "leverage." A Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33-1/3% of the value of that Fund's total assets. The Funds may borrow only from banks and/or affiliated investment companies. With respect to this fundamental policy, the Funds can borrow only if they maintain a 300% ratio of assets to borrowings at all times in the manner set forth in the Investment Company Act. If the value of that Fund's assets fails to meet this 300% asset coverage requirement, that Fund will reduce its bank debt within three days to meet the requirement. To do so, that Fund might have to sell a portion of its investments at a disadvantageous time.

A Fund will pay interest on these loans, and that interest expense will raise the overall expenses of that Fund and reduce its returns. If it does borrow, its expenses will be greater than comparable funds that do not borrow for leverage. Additionally, that Fund's net asset values per share might fluctuate more than that of funds that do not borrow. Currently, the Funds do not contemplate using this technique in the next year but if they do so, it will not likely be to a substantial degree.

·     

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


·     

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


·     obligations of a foreign bank with total assets of at least U.S. $1 billion.

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

·     

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


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

The Funds 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 Funds.

·     

Variable Amount Master Demand Notes. Master demand notes are corporate obligations that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts by the Funds at varying rates of interest under direct arrangements between the Funds, as lender, and the borrower. They permit daily changes in the amounts borrowed. The Funds have 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 Funds' right to redeem such notes is dependent upon the ability of the borrower to pay principal and interest on demand.

The Funds have 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 Funds in illiquid securities, described in the Prospectus. A description of the investment policies for Money Fund/VA is located below under the heading "Money Fund/VA Investment Policies."

n     Derivatives. The Funds can invest in a variety of derivative investments, including swaps, "structured" notes, convertible notes, options, forward contracts and futures contracts, to seek income or for hedging purposes. The use of derivatives requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques that are different than what is required for normal portfolio management.  If the Manager uses a derivative instrument at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, the use of derivatives may reduce a Fund's return.

     Although it is not obligated to do so, the Funds can use derivatives to hedge. To attempt to protect against declines in the market value of a Fund's portfolio, to permit a Fund to retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities which have appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons, a 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 a Fund's income, but the Manager does not expect to engage extensively in that practice.


The Funds can use hedging to establish a position in the securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing particular securities. In that case a Fund would normally seek to purchase the securities and then terminate that hedging position. A 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 a Fund could:

·     

buy futures, or


·     

buy calls on such futures or on securities.


A Fund's strategy of hedging with futures and options on futures will be incidental to that Fund's activities in the underlying cash market. The particular hedging strategies a Fund can use are described below. A Fund may employ new hedging strategies when they are developed, if those investment methods are consistent with that Fund's investment objectives and are permissible under applicable regulations governing that Fund.

·     "Structured" Notes. The Funds can invest in "structured" notes, which are specially-designed derivative debt investments whose principal payments or interest payments are linked to the value of an underlying asset, such as an equity or debt security, currency, or commodity, or non-asset reference, such as an interest rate or index. The terms of the instrument may be "structured" by the purchaser (the Fund) and the borrower issuing the note.

The values of these notes will fall or rise in response to changes in the values of the underlying asset or reference and the Fund might receive less principal or interest if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated. In some cases, these notes may pay an amount based on a multiple of the relative change in value of the asset or reference. This type of note 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.

The values of these notes are also subject to both credit risk (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations) and interest rate risk and therefore the Funds could receive more or less than it originally invested when a note matures. The prices of these notes may be very volatile and they may have a limited trading market, making it difficult for the Funds to value them or sell them at an acceptable price.

·     Swaps. The Funds may enter into swap agreements, including interest rate, total return, credit default and volatility swaps. Swap agreements are two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for a specified period of time typically ranging from a few weeks to more than one year. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or the difference between the returns) earned or realized on a particular asset, such as an equity or debt security, commodity or currency, or non-asset reference, such as an interest rate or index. The swapped returns are generally calculated with respect to a notional amount, that is, the return on a particular dollar amount invested in the underlying asset or reference. A Fund may enter into a swap agreement to, among other reasons, gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible, protect against currency fluctuations, or reduce risk arising from ownership of a particular security or instrument. A Fund will identify liquid assets on that 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.

The Funds may enter into swap transactions with certain counterparties pursuant to master netting agreements. A master netting agreement provides that all swaps done between a 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 more than one swap transaction, the amount payable shall be the net amount. In addition, the master netting agreement may provide that if one party defaults generally or on any swap, the counterparty can terminate all outstanding swaps with that party.

The use of swap agreements by the Funds entails certain risks. The swaps market is generally unregulated. There is no central exchange or market for swap transactions and therefore they are less liquid investments than exchange-traded instruments and may be considered illiquid by a Fund. Swap agreements entail credit risk arising from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counterparty defaults, a Fund's loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that that Fund has not yet received. The Manager will monitor the creditworthiness of counterparties to a Fund's swap transactions on an ongoing basis. A Fund's successful use of swap agreements is dependent upon the Manager's ability to predict correctly whether certain types of investments are likely to produce greater returns than other investments. Swap agreements may effectively add leverage to a Fund's portfolio because that Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap.

·     Interest Rate Swaps. The Funds, especially Core Bond Fund/VA, High Income Fund/VA, Strategic Bond Fund/ VA and Value Fund/VA, may enter into interest rate swaps. In an interest rate swap, a 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. There is a risk that, based on movements of interest rates, the payments made by a Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments it receives.

·     Total Return Swaps. The Funds may enter into total return swaps, under which one party agrees to pay the other the total return of a defined underlying asset, such as a security or basket of securities, or non-asset reference, such as a securities index, during the specified period in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return from different underlying assets or references. Total return swaps could result in losses if the underlying asset or reference does not perform as anticipated by the Manager.

·     Credit Default Swaps. The Fixed Income Funds and Balanced Fund/ VA may enter into credit default swaps. A credit default swap enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a credit event, such as an issuer's failure to make timely payments of interest or principal, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Funds may seek to enhance returns by selling protection or attempt to mitigate credit risk by buying protection against the occurrence of a credit event by a specified issuer. The Funds may enter into credit default swaps, both directly ( "unfunded swaps") and indirectly ("funded swaps") in the form of a swap embedded within a structured security. Unfunded and funded credit default swaps may refer to a single security or on a basket of securities.

If a Fund buys credit protection using a credit default swap and a credit event occurs, that Fund will deliver the defaulted bonds underlying the swap and the swap counterparty will pay the par amount of the bonds. If a Fund sells credit protection using a credit default swap and a credit event occurs, that Fund will pay the par amount of the defaulted bonds underlying the swap and the swap counterparty will deliver the bonds. If the swap is on a basket of securities, the notional amount of the swap is reduced by the par amount of the defaulted bonds, and the fixed payments are then made on the reduced notional amount.

Risks of credit default swaps include counterparty credit risk (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations) and the risk that a Fund will not properly assess the cost of the instrument based on the lack of transparency in the market. If a Fund is selling credit protection, there is a risk that a credit event will occur and that the Fund will have to pay par value on defaulted bonds. If a Fund is buying credit protection, there is a risk that no credit event will occur and that Fund will receive no benefit for the premium paid. In addition, if a Fund is buying credit protection and a credit event does occur, there is a risk when that Fund does not own the underlying security, that Fund will have difficulty acquiring the bond on the open market and may receive adverse pricing.

·     Volatility Swap Contracts. The Funds may enter into volatility swaps to hedge the direction of volatility in a particular asset or non-asset reference, or for other non-speculative purposes. For volatility swaps, counterparties agree to buy or sell volatility at a specific level over a fixed period. Volatility swaps are subject to credit risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations), and the risk that the Manager is incorrect in forecasts of volatility of the underlying asset or reference.

·     Swap Options and Swap Forwards. The Funds also may enter into options on swaps as well as forwards on swaps. A swap option is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel, or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement on pre-designated terms. The Funds may write (sell) and purchase put and call swap options. A swap forward is an agreement to enter into a swap agreement at some point in the future, usually three to six months from the date of the contract.

The writer of the contract receives the premium and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset rate on the underlying swap. The Funds generally will incur a greater risk when it writes a swap option than when it purchases a swap option. When a Fund purchases a swap option it risks losing only the amount of the premium it has paid if that Fund lets the option expire unexercised. When a Fund writes a swap option it will become obligated, upon exercise of the option by the counterparty, according to the terms of the underlying agreement.

     ·   Futures. The Funds can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to debt securities (these are referred to as "interest rate futures"), broadly-based securities indices ("stock index futures" and "bond index futures"), foreign currencies, commodities and an individual stock ("single stock futures").

     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 securities included in the index and its value fluctuates in response to the changes in value of the underlying securities. A stock index cannot be purchased or sold directly. Bond index futures are similar contracts based on the future value of the basket of securities that comprise the index. These contracts obligate the seller to deliver, and the purchaser to take, cash to settle the futures transaction. There is no delivery made of the underlying securities to settle the futures obligation. Either party may also settle the transaction by entering into an offsetting contract.

An interest rate future obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to take) cash or a specified type of debt security to settle the futures transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting contract to close out the position. Similarly, a single stock future obligates the seller to deliver (and the purchaser to take) cash or a specified equity security to settle the futures transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting contract to close out the position. Single stock futures trade on a very limited number of exchanges, with contracts typically not fungible among the exchanges.

The Funds 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 Funds 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 Funds on the purchase or sale of a future. Upon entering into a futures transaction, the Funds 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 Funds' 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 that 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 Funds 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 that Fund. Any loss or gain on the future is then realized by that 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 Funds can buy and sell exchange-traded and over-the-counter put options ("puts") and call options ("calls"), including index options, securities options, currency options, commodities options and options on futures.

           Writing Call Options. The Funds may write (that is, sell) calls. If a Fund sells a call option, it must be covered. That means a Fund must own the security subject to the call while the call is outstanding, or the call must be covered by segregating liquid assets to enable that Fund to satisfy its obligations if the call is exercised. There is no limit on the amount of a Fund's total assets that may be subject to covered calls that Fund writes.

     When a Fund writes a call on a security, it receives cash (a premium). That 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. That 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 that 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 that Fund would keep the cash premium and the investment.
 
     When a Fund writes a call on an index, it receives cash (a premium). If the buyer of the call exercises it, that 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 specific 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, that Fund would keep the cash premium.
 

A Fund's custodian bank, or a securities depository acting for the custodian, will act as that Fund's escrow agent, through the facilities of the Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"), as to the investments on which that 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 a 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 that 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 (i.e., the option is "in the money"). When that Fund writes an OTC option, it will treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding illiquid securities) the market-to-market value of the underlying security, unless the option is subject to a buy-back agreement with the executing broker.
 
     To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, a Fund may purchase a corresponding call in a "closing purchase transaction." That 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 that Fund wrote is more or less than the price of the call that Fund purchases to close out the transaction. That Fund may realize a profit if the call expires unexercised, because that Fund will retain the underlying security and the premium it received when it wrote the call. If that 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.

A 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, that Fund must cover the call by segregating an equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets as identified in that Fund's books. That 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 that Fund's receipt of an exercise notice as to that future require that Fund to deliver a futures contract. It would simply put that Fund in a short futures position, which is permitted by that Fund's hedging policies.

           Writing Put Options. The Funds may write (that is, 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. A put must be covered by segregated liquid assets.
 

If a Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by liquid assets identified in that Fund's books. The premium a 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. However, a 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 a Fund has written expires unexercised, that Fund realizes a gain in the amount of the premium less the transaction costs incurred. If the put is exercised, that 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, that 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 that Fund incurred.

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

     As long as a 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 that Fund to take delivery of the underlying security and pay the exercise price. That 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, that Fund effects a closing purchase transaction by purchasing a put of the same series as it sold. Once that Fund has been assigned an exercise notice, it cannot effect a closing purchase transaction.
 

A 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 that Fund to write another put option on the security, or to sell the security and use the proceeds from the sale for other investments. That 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.

           Purchasing Puts and Calls. The Funds may purchase call options. When a Fund buys a call (other than in a closing purchase transaction), it pays a premium. That 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.

      A 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 that Fund exercises the call. If that 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 that Fund will have paid the premium but lost the right to purchase the underlying investment.
 

A Fund can buy puts whether or not it owns the underlying investment. When a 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 a 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 a 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.

      Buying and Selling Options on Foreign Currencies. The Funds can buy and sell exchange-traded and over-the-counter put options and call options on foreign currencies. A 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 a Fund's position. That 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.

A 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 a 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, that 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 that Fund's custodian bank.

      Risks of Hedging with Options and Futures. The use of hedging strategies 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 strategy at the wrong time or judges market conditions incorrectly, hedging strategies may reduce a 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.

A Fund's option activities could affect its portfolio turnover rate and brokerage commissions. The exercise of calls written by a Fund might cause that Fund to sell related portfolio securities, thus increasing its turnover rate. The exercise by a 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 a Fund's control, holding a put might cause that Fund to sell the related investments for reasons that would not exist in the absence of the put.

A 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 a Fund's net asset value being more sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying investment.

If a covered call written by a Fund is exercised on an investment that has increased in value, that 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 a 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 a Fund's securities. For example, it is possible that while a Fund has used derivative instruments in a short hedge, the market may advance and the value of the securities held in that Fund's portfolio might decline. If that occurred, that Fund would lose money on the derivative 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 derivative instruments are based.

 

The risk of imperfect correlation increases as the composition of a 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, that Fund might use derivative 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 derivative 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 hedge position 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 Funds can use 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 can 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 a 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 a 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."

A Fund will cover its short positions in these cases by identifying on its books assets having a value equal to the aggregate amount of that Fund's commitment under forward contracts. A Fund will not enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if the consummation of the contracts would obligate that Fund to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess of the value of that 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, a Fund may maintain a net exposure to forward contracts in excess of the value of that Fund's portfolio securities or other assets denominated in foreign currencies if the excess amount is "covered" by liquid securities denominated in any currency. The cover must be at least equal at all times to the amount of that excess. As one alternative, the Fund may purchase a call option permitting the Fund to purchase the amount of foreign currency being hedged by a forward sale contract at a price no higher than the forward contract price. As another alternative, the Fund may purchase a put option permitting the Fund to sell the amount of foreign currency subject to a forward purchase contract at a price as high or higher than the forward contact price.

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

The projection of short-term currency market movements is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. Forward contracts involve the risk that anticipated currency movements will not be accurately predicted, causing the Fund to sustain losses on these contracts and to pay additional transactions costs. The use of forward contracts in this manner might reduce a 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 a Fund to sell a currency, that Fund might sell a portfolio security and use the sale proceeds to make delivery of the currency. In the alternative a 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, a 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.

Regulatory Aspects of Certain Derivative Instruments. The Commodities Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC") recently eliminated limitations on futures trading by certain regulated entities including registered investment companies and consequently registered investment companies may engage in unlimited futures transactions and options thereon provided that the Fund claims an exclusion from regulation as a commodity pool operator. The Fund has claimed such an exclusion from registration as a commodity pool operator under the Commodity Exchange Act ("CEA"). The Fund may use futures and options for hedging and non-hedging purposes to the extent consistent with its investment objective, internal risk management guidelines adopted by the Funds' investment advisor (as they may be amended from time to time), and as otherwise set forth in each Fund's prospectus or this SAI.

Transactions in options by a 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 a 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 that Fund (or an advisor that is an affiliate of that 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 a 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.

Under interpretations of staff members of the SEC regarding applicable provisions of the Investment Company Act, when the Fund purchases a future, it must segregate cash or readily marketable short-term debt instruments in an amount equal to the purchase price of the future, less the margin deposit applicable to it.

·     Tax Aspects of Certain Hedging Instruments. Certain foreign currency exchange contracts in which a Fund may invest are treated as "Section 1256 contracts" under the IRC. 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 a 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 IRC. An election can be made by a Fund to exempt those transactions from this marked-to-market treatment.

Certain forward contracts a 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 that 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 IRC, 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 a 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 IRC for that trade, which may increase or decrease the amount of a Fund's investment income available for distribution to its shareholders.

|X|     Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. When market conditions are unstable, or the Manager believes it is otherwise appropriate to reduce holdings in stocks or bonds, the Funds can invest in a variety of debt securities for defensive purposes. The Funds can also purchase these securities for liquidity purposes to meet cash needs due to the redemption of Fund shares, or to hold while waiting to reinvest cash received from the sale of other portfolio securities. The Funds can buy:

·     

obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its instrumentalities or agencies,


·     

commercial paper (short-term, unsecured, promissory notes of domestic or foreign companies) rated in the three top rating categories of a nationally recognized rating organization,


·     

short-term debt obligations of corporate issuers, rated investment grade (rated at least Baa by Moody's or at least BBB by Standard & Poor's or a comparable rating by another rating organization), or unrated securities judged by the Manager to have a comparable quality to rated securities in those categories,


·     

certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances of domestic and foreign banks having total assets in excess of $1 billion, and


·     

repurchase agreements.


Short-term debt securities would normally be selected for defensive or cash management purposes because they can normally be disposed of quickly, are not generally subject to significant fluctuations in principal value and their value will be less subject to interest rate risk than longer-term debt securities.

|X|     Investment in Other Investment Companies. The Funds can also invest in the securities of other investment companies, which can include open-end funds, closed-end funds and unit investment trusts, subject to the limits set forth in the Investment Company Act that apply to those types of investments. For example, a Fund can invest in Exchange-Traded Funds, which are typically open-end funds or unit investment trusts, listed on a stock exchange. A Fund might do so as a way of gaining exposure to the segments of the equity or fixed-income markets represented by the Exchange-Traded Funds' portfolio, at times when a Fund may not be able to buy those portfolio securities directly.

Investing in another investment company may involve the payment of substantial premiums above the value of such investment company's portfolio securities and is subject to limitations under the Investment Company Act. The Funds do not intend to invest in other investment companies unless the Manager believes that the potential benefits of the investment justify the payment of any premiums or sales charges. As a shareholder of an investment company, a Fund would be subject to its ratable share of that investment company's expenses, including its advisory and administration expenses. The Funds do not anticipate investing a substantial amount of its net assets in shares of other investment companies.

Money Fund/VA Investment Policies. Under Rule 2a-7 under the investment Company Act, Money Fund/VA may purchase only "Eligible Securities," as defined below, that the Manger, under procedures approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees, has determined have minimal credit risk. An "Eligible Security" is (a) a security that has received a rating in one of the two highest short-term rating categories by any two "nationally-recognized statistical rating organizations" as defined in Rule 2a-7 ("Rating Organizations"), or, if only one Rating Organization has rated that security, by that Rating Organization (the "Rating Requirements"), (b) a security that is guaranteed, and either that guarantee or the party providing that guarantee meets the Rating Requirements, or (c) an unrated security that is either issued by an issuer having another similar security that meets the Rating Requirements, or is judged by the Manager to be of comparable quality to investments that meet the Rating Requirements. Rule 2a-7 permits Money Fund/VA to purchase "First Tier Securities," which are Eligible Securities rated in the highest category for short-term debt obligations by at least two Rating Organizations, or, if only one Rating Organization has rated a particular security, by that Rating Organization, or comparable unrated securities. The Fund can also buy "Second Tier Securities," which are Eligible Securities that are not First Tier securities.
 

If a security's rating is downgraded, the Manager and/or the Board may have to reassess the security's credit risk. If a security has ceased to be a First Tier Security, the Manager will promptly reassess whether the security continues to present "minimal credit risk." If the Manager becomes aware that any Rating Organization has downgraded its rating of a Second Tier Security or rated an unrated security below its second highest rating category, the Trust's Board of Trustees shall promptly reassess whether the security presents minimal credit risk and whether it is in Money Fund/VA's best interests to dispose of it.

If Money Fund/VA disposes of the security within five days of the Manager learning of the downgrade, the Manager will provide the Board with subsequent notice of such downgrade. If a security is in default, or ceases to be an Eligible Security, or is determined no longer to present minimal credit risks, the Board must determine if disposal of the security would be in Money Fund/VA's best interests.

The Rating Organizations currently designated as nationally-recognized statistical rating organizations by the SEC are Standard & Poor's (a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies), Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Fitch, Inc. and Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited. See Appendix A to this SAI for a description of the rating categories of the Rating Organizations.

·     

Certificates of Deposit and Commercial Paper. Money Fund/VA may invest in certificates of deposit of up to $100,000 of a domestic bank if such certificates of deposit are fully insured as to principal by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. For purposes of this section, the term "bank" includes commercial banks, savings banks, and savings and loan associations and the term "foreign bank" includes foreign branches of U.S. banks (issuers of "Eurodollar" instruments), U.S. branches and agencies of foreign banks (issuers of "Yankee dollar" instruments) and foreign branches of foreign banks. Money Fund/VA also may purchase obligations issued by other entities if they are: (i) guaranteed as to principal and interest by a bank or corporation whose certificates of deposit or commercial paper may otherwise be purchased by Money Fund/VA, or (ii) subject to repurchase agreements (explained in the prospectus), if the collateral for the agreement complies with Rule 2a-7.


·     

Bank Loan Participation Agreements. Money Fund/VA may invest in bank loan participation agreements, although such investments have not been a principal investment strategy. They provide that Fund with an undivided interest in a loan made by the issuing bank in the proportion that Fund's interest bears to the total principal amount of the loan. In evaluating the risk of these investments, that Fund looks to the creditworthiness of the borrower that is obligated to make principal and interest payments on the loan.


·     

Time Deposits. Money Fund/VA may invest in fixed time deposits, which are non-negotiable deposits in a bank for a specified period of time at a stated interest rate, whether or not subject to withdrawal penalties; however, such deposits which are subject to such penalties, other than deposits maturing in less than seven days, are subject to the 10% limitation applicable to illiquid securities purchased by Money Fund/VA.


·     

Floating Rate/Variable Rate Notes. Money Fund/VA may invest in instruments with floating or variable interest rates. The interest rate on a floating rate obligation is based on a stated prevailing market rate, such as a bank's prime rate, the 90-day U.S. Treasury Bill rate, the rate of return on commercial paper or bank certificates of deposit, or some other standard, and is adjusted automatically each time such market rate is adjusted. The interest rate on a variable rate obligation is also based on a stated prevailing market rate but is adjusted automatically at a specified interval of no less than one year. Some variable rate or floating rate obligations in which Money Fund/VA may invest have a demand feature entitling the holder to demand payment at an amount approximately equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest at any time, or at specified intervals not exceeding one year. These notes may or may not be backed by bank letters of credit. The interest rates on these notes fluctuate from time to time. 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.


·     

Master Demand Notes. Master demand notes are corporate obligations that permit the investment of fluctuating amounts by Money Fund/VA at varying rates of interest pursuant to direct arrangements between Money Fund/VA, as lender, and the corporate borrower that issues the note. These notes permit daily changes in the amounts borrowed. Money Fund/VA 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 repay up to the full amount of the note at any time without penalty. It is not generally contemplated that master demand notes will be traded because they are direct lending arrangements between the lender and the borrower. There is no secondary market for these notes, although they are redeemable and thus immediately repayable by the borrower at face value, plus accrued interest, at any time. Accordingly, where these obligations are not secured by letters of credit or other credit support arrangements, Money Fund/VA's right to redeem is dependent upon the ability of the borrower to pay principal and interest on demand. In evaluating the master demand arrangements, the Manager considers the earning power, cash flow, and other liquidity ratios of the issuer. If they are not rated by Rating Organizations, Money Fund/VA may invest in them only if, at the time of an investment, they are Eligible Securities. The Manager will continuously monitor the borrower's financial ability to meet all of its obligations because Money Fund/VA's liquidity might be impaired if the borrower were unable to pay principal and interest on demand. There is no limit on the amount of the Money Fund/VA's assets that may be invested in floating rate and variable rate obligations. Floating rate or variable rate obligations which do not provide for recovery of principal and interest within seven days' notice will be subject to the 10% limitation applicable to illiquid securities purchased by Money Fund/VA.


Other Investment Restrictions. In addition to having a number of investment policies and restrictions identified in the Prospectuses or elsewhere as "fundamental policies," the Funds have other investment restrictions that are fundamental policies, described below.
 

|X|     What Are "Fundamental Policies?" Fundamental policies are those policies that the Funds have adopted to govern its investments that can be changed only by the vote of a "majority" of each 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:

·     

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


·     

more than 50% of the outstanding shares.


The Funds' (except Value Fund /VA) investment objectives are fundamental policies. Other policies described in the Prospectuses or this SAI are "fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Funds' 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 Prospectuses or this SAI, as appropriate. The Funds' most significant investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

|X|     Do the Funds Have Additional Fundamental Policies? The following investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Funds (except Value Fund/VA).

·     

No Fund can buy securities issued or guaranteed by any one issuer if (i) more than 5% of its total assets would be invested in securities of that issuer or (ii) it would then own more than 10% of that issuer's voting securities, or (iii) it would then own more than 10% in principal amount of that issuer's outstanding debt securities. The restriction on debt securities does not apply to Strategic Bond Fund/VA. All of the restrictions apply only to 75% of each Fund's total assets. The limits do not apply to securities issued by the U.S. government or any of its agencies or instrumentalities, or securities of other investment companies.


·     

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


·     

The Funds cannot concentrate investments. That means they cannot invest 25% or more of their 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. This policy does not limit investments by Money Fund/VA in obligations issued by banks.


·     

The Funds cannot buy or sell real estate or interests in real estate. However, the Funds can purchase debt securities secured by real estate or interests in real estate, or issued by companies, including real estate investment trusts, which invest in real estate or interests in real estate.


·     

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


·     

The Funds cannot invest in commodities or commodity contracts, other than the hedging instruments permitted by any of its other fundamental policies. It does not matter whether the hedging instrument is considered to be a commodity or commodity contract.


·     

The Funds cannot issue "senior securities," but this does not prohibit certain investment activities for which assets of the Funds 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.


·     

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


The following investment restrictions are fundamental policies of Value Fund/VA.

·     

Value Fund/VA cannot issue senior securities. However, it can make payments or deposits of margin in connection with options or futures transactions, lend its portfolio securities, enter into repurchase agreements, borrow money and pledge its assets as permitted by its other fundamental policies. For purposes of this restriction, the issuance of shares of common stock in multiple classes or series, the purchase or sale of options, futures contracts and options on futures contracts, forward commitments, and repurchase agreements entered into in accordance with Value Fund/VA's investment policies, and the pledge, mortgage or hypothecation of Value Fund/VA's assets are not deemed to be senior securities.


·     

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


·     

Value Fund/VA cannot invest 25% or more of its total assets in any one industry. That limit does not apply to securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies and instrumentalities or securities issued by investment companies.


·     

Value Fund/VA cannot invest in physical commodities or commodities contracts. However, the Fund can invest in hedging instruments permitted by any of its other investment policies, and can buy or 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, commodity contracts or currencies.
 

·     

Value Fund/VA cannot invest in real estate or in interests in real estate. However, the Fund can purchase securities of issuers holding real estate or interests in real estate (including securities of real estate investment trusts) if permitted by its other investment policies.


·     

Value Fund/VA cannot underwrite securities of other issuers. A permitted exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter under the Securities Act in reselling its portfolio securities.


·     

Value Fund/VA cannot make loans, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.


·     

Value Fund/VA may not borrow money, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom that is applicable to the Fund, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.


n     Do the Funds Have Any Restrictions That Are Not Fundamental? Main Street Small Cap Fund®/VA, MidCap Fund/VA and Value Fund/VA have other investment restrictions that are not fundamental policies, which means that they can be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval.

·     Main Street Small Cap Fund®/VA has also adopted the following non-fundamental policy: With respect to the Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA's non-fundamental policy to invest, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus the amount of any borrowings used for investment purposes) in equity securities of "small-cap" issuers, Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA will provide shareholders at least 60 days ' prior notice of any change in such policy as required by the Investment Company Act.

·     MidCap Fund/VA has also adopted the following non-fundamental policy, effective April 30, 2006: Under normal market conditions, as a non-fundamental policy, the MidCap Fund /VA invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of growth companies that have a market capitalization of between $2 billion and $11.5 billion (referred to as "mid-cap" stocks). MidCap Fund/VA's non-fundamental policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets in these investments will not be changed by MidCap Fund/VA's Board of Trustees without first providing shareholders 60 days' written notice.

·     Value Fund/VA has also adopted the following non-fundamental policy: The Fund cannot invest in securities of other investment companies, except to the extent permitted under the Investment Company Act, the rules or regulations thereunder or any exemption therefrom, as such statute, rules or regulations may be amended or interpreted from time to time.

Unless the Prospectus or this SAI states that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies only at the time the Funds makes an investment (except in the case of borrowing and investments in illiquid securities). The Funds 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 Funds' policy not to concentrate its investments as described above, the Funds have adopted classifications of industries and group of related industries. These classifications are not fundamental policies.

Disclosure of Portfolio Holdings. The Funds have adopted policies and procedures concerning the dissemination of information about their portfolio holdings by employees, officers and/or directors of the Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent. These policies are designed to assure that non-public information about portfolio securities is distributed only for a legitimate business purpose, and is done in a manner that (a) conforms to applicable laws and regulations and (b) is designed to prevent that information from being used in a way that could negatively affect the Funds' investment program or enable third parties to use that information in a manner that is harmful to the Funds.
 

·     

Public Disclosure. Each of the Fund's portfolio holdings are made publicly available no later than 60 days after the close of each of the Fund's fiscal quarters in the semi-annual and annual reports to shareholders and in their Statements of Investments on Form N-Q. Those documents are publicly available at the SEC. In addition, the top 20 month-end holdings may be posted on the OppenheimerFunds' website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com (select a Fund's name under the "View Fund Information for:" menu) with a 15-day lag. A Fund may release a more restrictive list of holdings (e.g., the top five or top 10 portfolio holdings) or may release no holdings if that is in the best interests of that Fund and its shareholders. Other general information about a Fund's portfolio investments, such as portfolio composition by asset class, industry, country, currency, credit rating or maturity, may also be posted.


Until publicly disclosed, each of the Fund's portfolio holdings are proprietary, confidential business information. While recognizing the importance of providing Fund shareholders with information about their Fund's investments and providing portfolio information to a variety of third parties to assist with the management, distribution and administrative process, the need for transparency must be balanced against the risk that third parties who gain access to a Fund's portfolio holdings information could attempt to use that information to trade ahead of or against that Fund, which could negatively affect the prices that Fund is able to obtain in portfolio transactions or the availability of the securities that portfolio managers are trading on that Fund's behalf.

The Manager and its subsidiaries and affiliates, employees, officers, and directors, shall neither solicit nor accept any compensation or other consideration (including any agreement to maintain assets in the Funds or in other investment companies or accounts managed by the Manager or any affiliated person of the Manager) in connection with the disclosure of the Funds' non-public portfolio holdings. The receipt of investment advisory fees or other fees and compensation paid to the Manager and its subsidiaries pursuant to agreements approved by the Funds' Board shall not be deemed to be "compensation" or "consideration" for these purposes. It is a violation of the Code of Ethics for any covered person to release holdings in contravention of portfolio holdings disclosure policies and procedures adopted by the Funds.
 
A list of the top 20 portfolio securities holdings (based on invested assets), listed by security or by issuer, as of the end of each month may be disclosed to third parties (subject to the procedures below) no sooner than 15 days after month-end.
 
Except under special limited circumstances discussed below, month-end lists of a Fund's complete portfolio holdings may be disclosed no sooner than 30-days after the relevant month-end, subject to the procedures below. If the Funds' complete portfolio holdings have not been disclosed publicly, they may be disclosed pursuant to special requests for legitimate business reasons, provided that:
 

·     

The third-party recipient must first submit a request for release of Fund portfolio holdings, explaining the business reason for the request;


·     

Senior officers (a Senior Vice President or above) in the Manager's Portfolio and Legal departments must approve the completed request for release of Fund portfolio holdings; and

·     

The third-party recipient must sign the Manager's portfolio holdings non-disclosure agreement before receiving the data, agreeing to keep information that is not publicly available regarding a Fund's holdings confidential and agreeing not to trade directly or indirectly based on the information.

An exception may be made to provide portfolio holdings information on a more current basis to insurance company sponsors that have signed a Participation Agreement with, and offer series of, Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds or Panorama Series Fund, Inc. to their separate account contract holders, if such insurance companies require such portfolio holdings information for the preparation of reports to their contract holders, and have contractually undertaken to keep such information confidential. Additionally, such information may be made available to new insurance company sponsors that first sign a confidentiality agreement in connection with evaluating offering such funds under their separate accounts.
 

The Funds' complete portfolio holdings positions may be released to the following categories of entities or individuals on an ongoing basis, provided that such entity or individual either (1) has signed an agreement to keep such information confidential and not trade on the basis of such information or (2) is subject to fiduciary obligations, as a member of the Funds' Board, or as an employee, officer and/or director of the Manager, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, or their respective legal counsel, not to disclose such information except in conformity with these policies and procedures and not to trade for his/her personal account on the basis of such information:
 

·     

Employees of the Funds' Manager, Distributor and Transfer Agent who need to have access to such information (as determined by senior officers of such entity),


·     

The Funds' independent registered public accounting firm,


·     

Members of the Funds' Board and the Board's legal counsel,

·     

The Funds' custodian bank,

·     

A proxy voting service designated by the Funds and their Board,

·     

Rating/ranking organizations (such as Lipper and Morningstar),

·     

Insurance companies having separate accounts invested in Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds or Panorama Series Fund, Inc. (to prepare their financial statements or analysis),

·     

Portfolio pricing services retained by the Manager to provide portfolio security prices, and

·     

Dealers, to obtain bids (price quotations if securities are not priced by the Funds' regular pricing services).

Portfolio holdings information of the Funds may be provided, under limited circumstances, to brokers and/or dealers with whom the Funds trade and/or entities that provide investment coverage and/or analytical information regarding the Funds' portfolio, provided that there is a legitimate investment reason for providing the information to the broker, dealer or other entity. Month-end portfolio holdings information may, under this procedure, be provided to vendors providing research information and/or analytics to the Funds, with at least a 15-day delay after the month end, but in certain cases may be provided to a broker or analytical vendor with a 1-2 day lag to facilitate the provision of requested investment information to the Manager to facilitate a particular trade or the portfolio manager's investment process for the Funds. Any third party receiving such information must first sign the Manager's portfolio holdings non-disclosure agreement as a pre-condition to receiving this information.
 
Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on individual securities positions or multiple securities) may be provided to the entities listed below (1) by portfolio traders employed by the Manager in connection with portfolio trading, and (2) by the members of the Manager's Security Valuation Group and Accounting Departments in connection with portfolio pricing or other portfolio evaluation purposes:
 

·     

Brokers and dealers in connection with portfolio transactions (purchases and sales)


·     

Brokers and dealers to obtain bids or bid and asked prices (if securities held by the Fund are not priced by the Funds' regular pricing services)

·     

Dealers to obtain price quotations where the Funds are not identified as the owner.

Portfolio holdings information (which may include information on each Fund's entire portfolio or individual securities therein) may be provided by senior officers of the Manager or attorneys on the legal staff of the Manager, Distributor, or Transfer Agent, in the following circumstances:
 

·     

Response to legal process in litigation matters, such as responses to subpoenas or in class action matters where a Fund may be part of the plaintiff class (and seeks recovery for losses on a security) or a defendant,


·     

Response to regulatory requests for information (the SEC, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), state securities regulators, and/or foreign securities authorities, including without limitation requests for information in inspections or for position reporting purposes),

·     

To potential sub-advisers of portfolios (pursuant to confidentiality agreements),

·     

To consultants for retirement plans for plan sponsors/discussions at due diligence meetings (pursuant to confidentiality agreements),

·     

Investment bankers in connection with merger discussions (pursuant to confidentiality agreements).

Portfolio managers and analysts may, subject to the Manager's policies on communications with the press and other media, discuss portfolio information in interviews with members of the media, or in due diligence or similar meetings with clients or prospective purchasers of Fund shares or their financial intermediary representatives.

The shareholders of Global Securities Fund/VA, Main Street Fund/VA and Strategic Bond Fund/VA may, under unusual circumstances (such as a lack of liquidity in a Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions), receive redemption proceeds of their Fund shares paid as pro rata shares of securities held in a Fund's portfolio. In such circumstances, disclosure of a Fund's portfolio holdings may be made to such shareholders.

Any permitted release of otherwise non-public portfolio holdings information must be in accordance with the Funds' then-current policy on approved methods for communicating confidential information, including but not limited to the Funds' policies as to use of secure e-mail technology.
 
The Chief Compliance Officer (the "CCO") of the Funds and the Manager, Distributor, and Transfer Agent shall oversee the compliance by the Manager, Distributor, Transfer Agent, and their personnel with these policies and procedures. At least annually, the CCO shall report to the Funds' Board on such compliance oversight and on the categories of entities and individuals to which disclosure of portfolio holdings of the Funds has been made during the preceding year pursuant to these policies. The CCO shall report to the Funds' Board any material violation of these policies and procedures and shall make recommendations to the Board as to any amendments that the CCO believes are necessary and desirable to carry out or improve these policies and procedures.
 
The Manager and/or the Funds have entered into ongoing arrangements to make available information about the Funds' portfolio holdings. One or more of the Oppenheimer funds may currently disclose portfolio holdings information based on ongoing arrangements to the following parties:

How the Funds Are Managed

Organization and History. Each Fund is an investment portfolio, or "series" of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds (the "Trust"), a multi-series open-end diversified management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust that presently includes 11 series. Money Fund/VA, Core Bond Fund/VA and Capital Appreciation Fund/VA were all organized in 1983, High Income Fund/VA, MidCap Fund/VA and Balanced Fund/VA, were all organized in 1986, Global Securities Fund/VA was organized in 1990, Strategic Bond Fund/VA was organized in 1993, Main Street Fund®/VA was organized in 1995, Main Street Small Cap Fund®/VA was organized in 1998 and Value Fund/ VA was organized in 2002. The suffix "VA" was added to each Fund's name on May 1, 1999. Prior to that date, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA was named "Oppenheimer Growth Fund," and Oppenheimer Main Street® Growth & Income Fund/VA was named "Oppenheimer Growth & Income Fund." Prior to May 1, 2001, Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund®/VA was named "Oppenheimer Small Cap Growth Fund/VA." Prior to May 1, 2003, Oppenheimer Main Street Fund®/VA was named "Oppenheimer Main Street® Growth & Income Fund/VA." Prior to April 29, 2004, Oppenheimer Balanced Fund/VA was named "Oppenheimer Multiple Strategies Fund/VA." Prior to April 29, 2005, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund/VA was named "Oppenheimer Bond Fund/VA." Prior to April 30, 2006, Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA was named "Oppenheimer Aggressive Growth Fund/VA", and prior to May 1, 1998 that Fund was named "Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund." All references to the Funds' Board of Trustees and Officers refer to the Trustees and Officers, respectively, of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds.
 

n     

Shareholders. Insurance companies that hold shares of the Funds in their separate accounts for the benefit of their customers' variable annuities, variable life insurance policies and other investment products are the record holders and the owners of shares of beneficial interest in the Funds. The right of those customers of the insurance companies to give directions to the insurance company for the purchase or redemption of shares is determined under the contract between the customer and the insurance company. The insurance companies, and not their customers, are "shareholders" of the Funds. The rights of those insurance companies as record holders and owners of shares of a Fund are different from the rights of their customers. These customers are indirect owners for all purposes except for those rights reserved by insurance companies in the insurance contract, or as permitted by the SEC. The term "shareholder" in this SAI refers to the indirect or underlying owner of shares held in the account, and not to the insurance companies.


n     Classes of Shares. The Trustees are authorized, without shareholder approval, to create new series and classes of shares, to reclassify unissued shares into additional series or classes and to 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, preemptive rights or subscription rights. Shares may be voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings.

The Funds currently have four classes of shares authorized. All Funds offer a class of shares with no name designation referred to in this SAI and the Prospectus as "non-service shares." As of September 15, 2006, all Funds except Money Fund/VA also offer a service share class, subject to a Distribution and Service Plan. Money Fund/VA currently only offers the class of non-service shares. Global Securities Fund/VA and High Income Fund/VA offer two additional share classes, referred to in this SAI "Class 3" and "Class 4", which are subject to a redemption fee. In addition, Class 4 shares are subject to a Distribution and Service Plan. Each class of shares:

·     

has its own dividends and distributions,


·     

pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,


·     

will generally have a different net asset value,


·     

will generally have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one class are different from interests of another class, and


·     

votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.


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

n     Meetings of Shareholders. The Trust is a Massachusetts business Trust. The Funds are not required to hold, and do not plan to hold, regular annual meetings of shareholders, but may hold shareholder meetings from time to time on important matters or when required to do so by the Investment Company Act or other applicable law. Shareholders have the right, upon a vote or declaration in writing of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Funds, to remove a Trustee or to take other action described in the Trust's Declaration of Trust.

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 Funds' 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 a Fund valued at $25,000 or more or constituting at least 1% of a Fund's outstanding shares. The Trustees may also take other action as permitted by the Investment Company Act.

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

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

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees. The Funds are 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 Funds' activities, review their performance, and review the actions of the Manager.

The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee, a Review Committee and a Governance Committee. Each committee is comprised solely of Trustees who are not "interested persons" under the Investment Company Act (the "Independent Trustees"). The members of the Audit Committee are George C. Bowen (Chairman), Edward L. Cameron, Robert J. Malone and F. William Marshall, Jr. The Audit Committee held 6 meetings during the Funds' fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Audit Committee furnishes the Board with recommendations regarding the selection of the Funds' independent registered public accounting firm (also referred to as the "independent Auditors"). Other main functions of the Audit Committee, outlined in the Audit Committee Charter, include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results of financial statement audits and the audit fees charged; (ii) reviewing reports from the Funds' independent Auditors regarding the Funds' internal accounting procedures and controls; (iii) reviewing reports from the Manager's Internal Audit Department; (iv)  reviewing certain reports from and meet periodically with the Funds' Chief Compliance Officer; (v) maintaining a separate line of communication between the Funds' independent Auditors and the Independent Trustees; (vi) reviewing the independence of the Funds' independent Auditors; and (vii) pre-approving the provision of any audit or non-audit services by the Funds' independent Auditors, including tax services, that are not prohibited by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, to the Funds, the Manager and certain affiliates of the Manager.

The Review Committee is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The members of the Review Committee are Sam Freedman (Chairman), Jon S. Fossel and Beverly L. Hamilton. The Review Committee held 6 meetings during the Funds' fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. Among other duties, as set forth in the Review Committee's Charter, the Review Committee reports and makes recommendations to the Board concerning the fees paid to the Funds' transfer agent and the Manager and the services provided to the Funds by the transfer agent and the Manager. The Review Committee also reviews the adequacy of the Funds' Codes of Ethics, the Funds' investment performance as well as the policies and procedures adopted by the Funds to comply with the Investment Company Act and other applicable law.

The Governance Committee is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The members of the Governance Committee are Robert J. Malone (Chairman), William Armstrong, Edward L. Cameron, Beverly L. Hamilton and F. William Marshall, Jr. The Governance Committee held 6 meetings during the Funds' fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. The Governance Committee has adopted a charter setting forth its duties and responsibilities. Among other duties, the Governance Committee reviews and oversees the Funds' governance guidelines, the adequacy of the Funds' Codes of Ethics and the nomination of Trustees, including Independent Trustees. The Governance Committee has adopted a process for shareholder submission of nominees for board positions. Shareholders may submit names of individuals, accompanied by complete and properly supported resumes, for the Governance Committee's consideration by mailing such information to the Governance Committee in care of the Funds. The Governance Committee may consider such persons at such time as it meets to consider possible nominees. The Governance Committee, however, reserves sole discretion to determine which candidates for Trustees and Independent Trustees it will recommend to the Board and/or shareholders and it may identify candidates other than those submitted by Shareholders. The Governance Committee may, but need not, consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and/or its affiliates in selecting nominees. The full Board elects new Trustees except for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.

Shareholders who desire to communicate with the Board should address correspondence to the Board or an individual Board member and may submit their correspondence electronically at www.oppenheimerfunds.com under the caption "contact us" or by mail to the Funds at the address below.

Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their immediate family members) of the Funds, the Manager and its affiliates, and retirement plans established by them for their employees are permitted to purchase Class A shares of other Oppenheimer funds at net asset value without sales charge. The sales charge on Class A shares is waived for that group because of the reduced sales efforts realized by the Distributor. Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and their eligible family members) of the Funds, the Manager and its affiliates, its parent company and the subsidiaries of its parent company, and retirement plans established for the benefit of such individuals, are also permitted to purchase Class Y shares of other Oppenheimer funds that offer Class Y shares.

Messrs. Baylin, Bhaman, Damian, Ferreira, Memani, Murphy, Petersen, Reinganum, Steinmetz, Szilagyi, Vandehey, Welsh, Williams, Wixted, Wong, Zack, Zavanelli, Zhou and Zibelli and Mss. Bloomberg, Ives, and Wolf, who are officers of the Funds, hold the same offices with one or more of the other Board II Funds. As of March 31, 2008 the Trustees and officers of the Funds, as a group, owned of record or beneficially less than 1% of any class of shares of the Funds. The foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares held of record by an employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than the shares beneficially owned under that plan by the officers of the Board II Funds. In addition, none of the Independent Trustees (nor any of their immediate family members) owns securities of either the Manager or the Distributor or of any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Manager or the Distributor of the Board II Funds.

The Trustees and officers, their positions with the Funds, length of service in such position(s), and principal occupations and business affiliations during at least the past five years are listed in the charts below. The charts also include information about each Trustee's beneficial share ownership in the Funds and in all of the registered investment companies that the Trustee oversees in the Oppenheimer family of funds ("Supervised Funds").

n     

Compensation Deferral Plan For Trustees. The Board of Trustees has adopted a Compensation Deferral Plan for Independent Trustees that enables them to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they are entitled to receive from the Funds. 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 amount of compensation deferred and the performance of the selected funds.


Deferral of Trustees' fees under the plan will not materially affect the Funds' assets, liabilities or net income per share. The plan will not obligate the Funds 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 SEC, the Funds may invest in the funds selected by the Trustees under the plan without shareholder approval for the limited purpose of determining the value of the Trustees' deferred compensation account.

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 Funds' registration statement filed with the SEC and can be reviewed and copied at the SEC's Public Reference Room in Washington, D.C.

The Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures include provisions to address conflicts of interest that may arise between the Funds and the Manager or the Manager's affiliates or business relationships. Such a conflict of interest may arise, for example, where the Manager or an affiliate of the Manager manages or administers the assets of a pension plan or other investment account of the portfolio company soliciting the proxy or seeks to serve in that capacity. The Manager and its affiliates generally seek to avoid such material conflicts of interest by maintaining separate investment decision making processes to prevent the sharing of business objectives with respect to proposed or actual actions regarding portfolio proxy voting decisions. Additionally, the Manager employs the following procedures, as long as OFI determines that the course of action is consistent with the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders: (1) if the proposal that gives rise to the conflict is specifically addressed in the Proxy Voting Guidelines, the Manager will vote the portfolio proxy in accordance with the Proxy Voting Guidelines, provided that they do not provide discretion to the Manager on how to vote on the matter; (2) if such proposal is not specifically addressed in the Proxy Voting Guidelines or the Proxy Voting Guidelines provide discretion to the Manager on how to vote, the Manager will vote in accordance with the third-party proxy voting agent 's general recommended guidelines on the proposal provided that the Manager has reasonably determined that there is no conflict of interest on the part of the proxy voting agent; and (3) if neither of the previous two procedures provides an appropriate voting recommendation, the Manager may retain an independent fiduciary to advise the Manager on how to vote the proposal or may abstain from voting. The Proxy Voting Guidelines' provisions with respect to certain routine and non-routine proxy proposals are summarized below:

·     

The Funds evaluate director nominees on a case-by-case basis, examining the following factors, among others: composition of the board and key board committees, experience and qualifications, attendance at board meetings, corporate governance provisions and takeover activity, long-term company performance and the nominee' s investment in the company.


·     

The Funds generally support proposals requiring the position of chairman to be filled by an independent director unless there are compelling reasons to recommend against the proposal such as a counterbalancing governance structure.


·     

The Funds generally support proposals asking that a majority of directors be independent. The Funds generally supports proposals asking that a board audit, compensation, and/or nominating committee be composed exclusively of independent directors.


·     

The Funds generally support shareholder proposals to reduce a super-majority vote requirement, and opposes management proposals to add a super-majority vote requirement.


·     

The Funds generally support proposals to allow shareholders the ability to call special meetings.


·     

The Funds generally support proposals to allow or make easier shareholder action by written consent.


·     

The Funds generally vote against proposals to create a new class of stock with superior voting rights.


·     

The Funds generally vote against proposals to classify a board.


·     

The Funds generally support proposals to eliminate cumulative voting.


·     

The Funds generally oppose re-pricing of stock options without shareholder approval.


·     

The Funds generally support proposals to require majority voting for the election of directors.


·     

The Funds generally support proposals seeking additional disclosure of executive and director pay information.


·     

The Funds generally support proposals seeking disclosure regarding the company's, board's or committee' s use of compensation consultants.


·     

The Funds generally support "pay-for-performance" proposals that align a significant portion of total compensation of senior executives to company performance.


·     

The Funds generally supports having shareholder votes on poison pills.


·     

The Funds generally support proposals calling for companies to adopt a policy of not providing tax gross-up payments.


·     

In the case of social, political and environmental responsibility issues, the Funds will generally abstain where there could be a detrimental impact on share value or where the perceived value if the proposal was adopted is unclear or unsubstantiated.  The Funds generally support proposals that would clearly have a discernible positive impact on short- or long-term share value, or that would have a presently indiscernible impact on short- or long-term share value but promotes general long-term interests of the company and its shareholders.


     The Funds are required to file Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of each year. The Funds' Form N-PX filing is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Funds toll-free at 1.800.525.7048 and (ii) on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

n     

The Investment Advisory Agreements. The Manager provides investment advisory and management services to each Fund under an investment advisory agreement between the Manager and the Trust of each Fund. The Manager selects securities for the Funds' portfolios and handles their day-to day business. The portfolio managers of the Funds are employed by the Manager and are the persons who are principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the Funds' portfolios. Other members of the Manager's investment teams provide the portfolio managers with counsel and support in managing the Funds' portfolios as appropriate.


The agreements require the Manager, at its expense, to provide the Funds 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 corporate administration for the Funds. Those responsibilities include the compilation and maintenance of records with respect to the Funds' operations, the preparation and filing of specified reports, and the composition of proxy materials and registration statements for continuous public sale of shares of the Funds.

The Funds pay expenses not expressly assumed by the Manager under the advisory agreements. The investment advisory agreements list examples of expenses paid by the Funds. The major categories relate to interest, taxes, fees to Independent Trustees, legal and audit expenses, custodian and transfer agent expenses, share issuance costs, certain printing and registration costs, brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses, including litigation cost. The management fees paid by the Funds to the Manager are calculated at the rates described in the Prospectus, which are applied to the assets of the Funds as a whole. The fees are allocated to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of a Fund's net assets represented by that class. The management fees paid by the Funds to the Manager during its last three fiscal years are listed below.

The investment advisory agreements state that in the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager is not liable for any loss the Funds sustain in connection with matters to which the agreement relates.

The agreements permit the Manager to act as investment adviser 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 adviser or general distributor. If the Manager shall no longer act as investment adviser to a Fund, the Manager may withdraw the right of that Fund to use the name "Oppenheimer" as part of its name.

Pending Litigation.  During 2009, a number of complaints have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain other mutual funds ("Defendant Funds") advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor.  The complaints naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers and trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Fund.  The plaintiffs are seeking class action status on behalf of those who purchased shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period.  The complaints against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws to the effect that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund's investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations.   The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.  
 
            A complaint brought in state court against the Manager, the Distributor and another subsidiary of the Manager (but not against the Fund
s), on behalf of the Oregon College Savings Plan Trust alleges a variety of claims, including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws. Plaintiffs seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.
 

Other complaints have been filed in state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates, regarding the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm ("Madoff").  Those lawsuits, in 2008 and 2009, allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others.  They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys' fees and litigation expenses.  None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors.  None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.

The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously.  The Defendant Funds' Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the individual independent Trustees named in those suits.  While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Funds, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer Funds.

1.     In millions.

2.     Does not include personal accounts of portfolio managers and their families, which are subject to the Code of Ethics.

3.      Messrs. Memani and Strzalkowski did not become portfolio managers of their respective Funds until April 2009.

As indicated above, each of the Portfolio Managers also manages other funds and accounts. Potentially, at times, those responsibilities could conflict with the interests of the Funds. That may occur whether the investment strategies of the other funds or accounts are the same as, or different from, the Funds' investment objectives and strategies. For example, a Portfolio Manager may need to allocate investment opportunities between a Fund and another fund or account having similar objectives or strategies, or a Portfolio Manager may need to execute transactions for another fund or account that could have a negative impact on the value of securities held by a Fund. Not all funds and accounts advised by the Manager have the same management fee. If the management fee structure of another fund or account is more advantageous to the Manager than the fee structure of a Fund, the Manager could have an incentive to favor the other fund or account. However, the Manager's compliance procedures and Code of Ethics recognize the Manager's fiduciary obligations to treat all of its clients, including the Funds, fairly and equitably, and are designed to preclude the Portfolio Managers from favoring one client over another. It is possible, of course, that those compliance procedures and the Code of Ethics may not always be adequate to do so. At various times, the Funds' Portfolio Managers may manage other funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are similar to those of the Funds, or may manage funds or accounts with investment objectives and strategies that are different from those of the Funds.

n     Compensation of the Portfolio Managers. The Funds' Portfolio Managers are employed and compensated by the Manager, not the Funds. The Manager's compensation structure is designed to attract and retain highly qualified investment management professionals and to reward individual and team contributions toward creating shareholder value. As of December 31, 2008, each Portfolio Managers ' compensation consisted principally of three elements: a base salary, an annual discretionary bonus and eligibility to participate in long-term

awards of options and appreciation rights in regard to the common stock of the Manager's holding company parent. Senior portfolio managers may also be eligible to participate in the Manager's deferred compensation plan.

To help the Manager attract and retain talent, the base pay component of each portfolio manager is reviewed regularly to ensure that it reflects the performance of the individual, is commensurate with the requirements of the particular portfolio, reflects any specific competence or specialty of the individual manager, and is competitive with other comparable positions. The annual discretionary bonus is determined by senior management of the Manager and is based on a number of factors, including management quality (such as style consistency, risk management, sector coverage, team leadership and coaching) and organizational development. The Portfolio Managers' compensation is not based on the total value of a Fund's portfolio assets or its investment performance. However, each portfolio managers' compensation is based on the performance of a tracking portfolio that is substantially similar to the Fund or Funds that he or she manages, measured against an appropriate Lipper benchmark selected by management. The Manager has a number of procedures in place to ensure that portfolio managers do not allocate securities to those portfolios in an inequitable manner, including monitoring and dispersion analysis. The compensation structure of certain other funds and accounts managed by the Portfolio Managers differs from the compensation structure of the Funds, described above. A portion of the Portfolio Managers' compensation with regard to other portfolios may be based on the performance of those portfolios compared to a particular benchmark and, with respect to one portfolio managed by Mr. Bhaman, may, under certain circumstances, include an amount based in part on the amount of that portfolio's management fee.

n     Ownership of Fund Shares. As of December 31, 2008, the Portfolio Managers did not beneficially own any shares of the Funds, which are sold only through insurance companies to their contract owners.

Brokerage Policies of the Funds

Brokerage Provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement. One of the duties of the Manager under the investment advisory agreements is to arrange the portfolio transactions for the Funds. The advisory agreements contain provisions relating to the employment of broker-dealers to effect the Funds' portfolio transactions. The Manager is authorized by the advisory agreements to employ broker-dealers, including "affiliated brokers," as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act, that the Manager thinks, in its best judgment based on all relevant factors, will implement the policy of the Funds to obtain, at reasonable expense, the "best execution" of the Funds' portfolio transactions. "Best execution" means prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable price obtainable for the services provided. 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 Funds as established by its Board of Trustees.

     Under the investment advisory agreements, in choosing brokers to execute portfolio transactions for the Funds, the Manager may select brokers (other than affiliates) that provide both brokerage and research services to the Funds. The commissions paid to those 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.

Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. The Manager allocates brokerage for the Funds subject to the provisions of the investment advisory agreements and other applicable rules and procedures described below.

The Manager's portfolio traders allocate brokerage based upon recommendations from the Manager's portfolio managers, together with the portfolio traders' judgment as to the execution capability of the broker or dealer. 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.

For Equity Funds, 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, a Fund may be required to pay fixed brokerage commissions and therefore would not have the benefit of negotiated commissions that are available in U.S. markets. Brokerage commissions are paid primarily for transactions in listed securities or for certain fixed-income agency transactions executed 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, a 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.

For the Fixed-Income Funds, most securities purchases made by a Fund are in principal transactions at net prices. A Fund usually deals directly with the selling or purchasing principal or market maker without incurring charges for the services of a broker on its behalf unless the Manager determines that a better price or execution may be obtained by using the services of a broker. Therefore, a Fund does not incur substantial brokerage costs. Portfolio securities purchased from underwriters include a commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter in the price of the security. Portfolio securities purchased from dealers include a spread between the bid and asked price. In an option transaction, a Fund ordinarily uses the same broker for the purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the investment to which the option relates.

Other accounts advised by the Manager have investment policies similar to those of the Funds. Those other accounts may purchase or sell the same securities as a Fund at the same time as that Fund, which could affect the supply and price of the securities. If two or more accounts 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. When possible, the Manager tries to combine concurrent orders to purchase or sell the same security by more than one of the accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates. 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.

Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act prohibits any fund from compensating a broker or dealer for promoting or selling the fund's shares by (1) directing to that broker or dealer any of the fund's portfolio transactions, or (2) directing any other remuneration to that broker or dealer, such as commissions, mark-ups, mark downs or other fees from the fund's portfolio transactions, that were effected by another broker or dealer (these latter arrangements are considered to be a type of "step-out" transaction). In other words, a fund and its investment adviser cannot use the fund's brokerage for the purpose of rewarding broker-dealers for selling the fund's shares.

However, the Rule permits funds to effect brokerage transactions through firms that also sell fund shares, provided that certain procedures are adopted to prevent a quid pro quo with respect to portfolio brokerage allocations. As permitted by the Rule, the Manager has adopted procedures (and the Funds' Board of Trustees has approved those procedures) that permit the Funds to direct portfolio securities transactions to brokers or dealers that also promote or sell shares of the Funds, subject to the "best execution" considerations discussed above. Those procedures are designed to prevent: (1) the Manager's personnel who effect the Funds' portfolio transactions from taking into account a broker's or dealer's promotion or sales of the Funds shares when allocating the Funds' portfolio transactions, and (2) the Funds, the Manager and the Distributor from entering into agreements or understandings under which the Manager directs or is expected to direct the Funds' brokerage directly, or through a "step-out" arrangement, to any broker or dealer in consideration of that broker's or dealer's promotion or sale of the Funds' shares or the shares of any of the other Oppenheimer funds.

The investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate brokerage for research services. The research services provided by a particular broker may be useful both to the Funds and to one or more of the other accounts advised by the Manager or its affiliates. Investment research may be supplied to the Manager by the broker or 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, analytical software 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.

Although the Manager currently does not do so, the Board of Trustees may permit 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 may also permit 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 broaden the scope and supplement 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 Funds' 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.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008, the Fund paid the total brokerage commissions indicated in the chart below:

Distribution and Service Plans (Service Shares and Class 4 Shares)

The Distributor. Under its General Distributor's Agreement with each Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. ("OFDI" or the "Distributor") will act as the principal underwriter for the Funds' Service shares and Class 4 shares only.

Each Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act (a "Plan") for its Service shares and Class 4 shares, although as of December 31, 2008, only Global Securities Fund/VA and High Income Fund/VA offered Class 4 shares. Each Fund that offers Service shares and/or Class 4 shares will make compensation payments to the Distributor in connection with the distribution and/or servicing of those shares. The Distributor will pay insurance company separate account sponsors and other entities that offer and/or provide services to Service shares and Class 4 shares, as described in the applicable Fund's Prospectus.

Each Plan has been approved by a vote of (i) the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that Plan, and (ii) the Manager as the then-sole initial holder of such shares.

Under the Plans, the Funds currently use the fees it receives to pay insurance company separate account sponsors or their affiliates (each is referred to as a "Recipient") for personal services and account maintenance services they provide for their customers who hold Service and Class 4 shares. The services include, among others, answering customer inquiries about the Funds, assisting in establishing and maintaining accounts in the Funds, and providing other services at the request of a Fund.

Under the Plans, no payment will be made to any Recipient in any period if the aggregate net assets of a Fund's Service and Class 4 shares held by the Recipient for itself and its customers did not exceed a minimum amount, if any, that may be determined from time to time by a majority of the Trust's Independent Trustees. The Plans provide for a fee of 0.25% of average annual net assets (although the Board of Trustees had set the fee at 0.15% of average net assets for all series prior to May 1, 2003). As of December 31, 2008, the Board had set no minimum asset amount. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, all payments made under the Service share Plan were paid by the Distributor, to Recipients (including Recipients affiliated with the Manager).

The Service shares class payments during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, for all Funds having Service shares outstanding as of that date, were as follows:

Under the Plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to affiliates. In their sole discretion, they may also from time to time make substantial payments from their own resources, which include the profits the Manager derives from the advisory fees it receives from the Funds, to compensate brokers, dealers, financial institutions and other intermediaries for providing distribution assistance and/or administrative services or that otherwise promote sales of the Funds' shares. These payments, some of which may be referred to as "revenue sharing," may relate to the Funds' inclusion on a financial intermediary's preferred list of funds offered to its clients.

Unless a plan is terminated as described below, each Plan continues in effect from year to year but only if the Trust's Board of Trustees and its Independent Trustees specially 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 each Plan. Each 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 Service shares or Class 4 shares. The Board of Trustees and the Independent Trustees must approve all material amendments to each 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.

While the plans are in effect and Service shares and/or Class 4 shares are outstanding, the Treasurer of the Trust shall provide separate written reports on each plan to the Board of Trustees at least quarterly for their review. The reports shall detail the amount of all payments made under a plan and the purpose for which the payments were made. Those reports are subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

Payments to Fund Intermediaries

Financial intermediaries may receive various forms of compensation or reimbursement from the Funds in the form of 12b-1 plan payments as described in the preceding section of this SAI. They may also receive payments or concessions from the Distributor, derived from sales charges paid by the clients of the financial intermediary, also as described in this SAI. Additionally, the Manager and/or the Distributor (including their affiliates) may make payments to financial intermediaries in connection with their offering and selling shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds, providing marketing or promotional support, transaction processing and/or administrative services. Among the financial intermediaries that may receive these payments are brokers, dealers or insurance agents who sell and/or hold shares of the Funds, banks (including bank trust departments), registered investment advisers, insurance companies, retirement plan and qualified tuition program administrators, third party administrators, and other institutions that have selling, servicing or similar arrangements with the Manager or Distributor. The payments to intermediaries vary by the types of product sold, the features of the Funds' share class and the role played by the intermediary.

Possible types of payments to financial intermediaries include, without limitation, those discussed below.

·     

Payments made by the Funds, or by an investor buying or selling shares of the Funds may include:


·     

depending on the share class that the investor selects, contingent deferred sales charges or initial front-end sales charges, all or a portion of which front-end sales charges are payable by the Distributor to financial intermediaries (see " About Your Account" in the applicable Fund's Prospectus);


·     

ongoing asset-based payments attributable to the share class selected, including fees payable under the Funds' distribution and/or service plans adopted under Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act, which are paid from the Funds' assets and allocated to the class of shares to which the plan relates (see "About the Funds -- Distribution and Service Plans" above);


·     

shareholder servicing payments for providing omnibus accounting, recordkeeping, networking, sub-transfer agency or other administrative or shareholder services, including retirement plan and 529 plan administrative services fees, which are paid from the assets of a Fund as reimbursement to the Manager or Distributor for expenses they incur on behalf of the Funds.


·     

Payments made by the Manager or Distributor out of their respective resources and assets, which may include profits the Manager derives from investment advisory fees paid by the Funds . These payments are made at the discretion of the Manager and/or the Distributor. These payments, often referred to as "revenue sharing" payments, may be in addition to the payments by the Funds listed above.


·     

These types of payments may reflect compensation for marketing support, support provided in offering the Funds or other Oppenheimer funds through certain trading platforms and programs, transaction processing or other services;


·     

The Manager and Distributor each may also pay other compensation to the extent the payment is not prohibited by law or by any self-regulatory agency, such as FINRA. Payments are made based on the guidelines established by the Manager and Distributor, subject to applicable law.

These payments may provide an incentive to financial intermediaries to actively market or promote the sale of shares of the Funds or other Oppenheimer funds, or to support the marketing or promotional efforts of the Distributor in offering shares of the Funds or other Oppenheimer funds. In addition, some types of payments may provide a financial intermediary with an incentive to recommend the Fund or a particular share class. Financial intermediaries may earn profits on these payments, since the amount of the payment may exceed the cost of providing the service. Certain of these payments are subject to limitations under applicable law. Financial intermediaries may categorize and disclose these arrangements to their clients and to members of the public in a manner different from the disclosures in the Funds Prospectuses and this SAI. You should ask your financial intermediary for information about any payments it receives from the Funds, the Manager or the Distributor and any services it provides, as well as the fees and commissions it charges.

Although brokers or dealers that sell Fund shares may also act as a broker or dealer in connection with the execution of the purchase or sale of portfolio securities by the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds, a financial intermediary's sales of shares of the Fund or such other Oppenheimer funds is not a consideration for the Manager when choosing brokers or dealers to effect portfolio transactions for the Funds or such other Oppenheimer funds.

Revenue sharing payments can pay for distribution-related or asset retention items including, without limitation,

·     

transactional support, one-time charges for setting up access for the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds on particular trading systems, and paying the intermediary' s networking fees;


·     

program support, such as expenses related to including the Oppenheimer funds in retirement plans, college savings plans, fee-based advisory or wrap fee programs, fund "supermarkets," bank or trust company products or insurance companies' variable annuity or variable life insurance products;

·     

placement on the dealer's list of offered funds and providing representatives of the Distributor with access to a financial intermediary's sales meetings, sales representatives and management representatives.

Additionally, the Manager or Distributor may make payments for firm support, such as business planning assistance, advertising, and educating a financial intermediary's sales personnel about the Oppenheimer funds and shareholder financial planning needs.

For the year ended December 31, 2008, the following financial intermediaries and/or their respective affiliates offered shares of the Oppenheimer funds and received revenue sharing or similar distribution-related payments from the Manager or the Distributor for marketing or program support:

Performance of the Funds

Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Funds use a variety of terms to illustrate their 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 Funds' performance as of the Funds' most recent fiscal year end. You can obtain current performance information by calling the Funds' Transfer Agent at 1.800.981.2871 or by visiting the OppenheimerFunds Internet website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com.

 

The Funds' illustrations of their performance data in advertisements must comply with rules of the SEC. Those rules describe the types of performance data that may be used and how it is to be calculated. In general, any advertisement by a Fund of its performance data must include the average annual total returns for the advertised class of shares of that Fund.

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

·     

Yields and total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account in a 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 the participating insurance company selects to have dividends paid 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.


·     

The Funds' performance does not reflect the charges deducted from an investor's separate account by the insurance company or other sponsor of that separate account, which vary from product to product. If these charges were deducted, performance will be lower than as described in the Funds' Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information. In addition, the separate accounts may have inception dates different from those of the Funds. The sponsor for your insurance product can provide performance information that reflects those charges and inception dates.


·     

The Funds' performance returns may not reflect the effect of taxes on dividends and capital gains distributions.


·     

An investment in the Funds is not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency.


·     

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


·     

The preceding statement does not apply to Money Fund/VA, which seeks to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share. There can be no assurance that Money Fund/VA will be able to do so.


·     

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


·     

Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA did not adopt its investment policy on investing in mid-cap stocks (see page 40) until April 30, 2006.


·     

Yields and total returns for any given past period represent historical performance information and are not, and should not be considered, a prediction of future yields or returns. The Funds' total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other Oppenheimer funds, whether or not such other funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names.


The performance of each class of shares is shown separately, because the performance of each class of shares will usually be different. That is because of the different kinds of expenses each class bears. The yields and total returns of each class of shares of the Funds are affected by market conditions, the quality of that Fund's investments, the maturity of debt investments, the types of investments that Fund holds, and its operating expenses that are allocated to the particular class.

n     

Yields. The Fixed Income Funds use a variety of different yields to illustrate their current returns. Each class of shares calculates its yield separately because of the different expenses that affect each class.


·     

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


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

Standardized Yield

= 2[(

a - b

+1)6

-1 ]

cd

The symbols above represent the following factors:

a =     dividends and interest earned during the 30-day period.

b =     expenses accrued for the period (net of any expense assumptions).

c =     the average daily number of shares of that class outstanding during the 30-day period that were entitled to receive dividends.

d =     the maximum offering price per share of that class on the last day of the period, adjusted for undistributed net investment income.

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

·     

Dividend Yield. The Fixed Income Funds may quote a "dividend yield" for each class of its shares. Dividend yield is based on the dividends paid on a class of shares during the actual dividend period. To calculate dividend yield, the dividends of a class declared during a stated period are added together, and the sum is multiplied by 12 (to annualize the yield) and divided by the maximum offering price on the last day of the dividend period. Because the Fixed Income Funds pay their annual dividend in March of each year, dividend yield is shown for the 30 days ended March 31, 2008. The formula is shown below:


Dividend Yield = Distribution Paid ÷ No. of Days in the Period x No. of Days in the Calendar Year

·     

Money Fund/VA Yields. The current yield for Money Fund/VA is calculated for a seven-day period of time as follows. First, a base period return is calculated for the seven-day period by determining the net change in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having one share at the beginning of the seven-day period. The change includes dividends declared on the original share and dividends declared on any shares purchased with dividends on that share, but such dividends are adjusted to exclude any realized or unrealized capital gains or losses affecting the dividends declared. Next, the base period return is multiplied by 365/7 to obtain the current yield to the nearest hundredth of one percent.


The compounded effective yield for a seven-day period is calculated by

(1)     adding 1 to the base period return (obtained as described above),

(2)     raising the sum to a power equal to 365 divided by 7, and

(3)     subtracting 1 from the result.

The yield as calculated above may vary for accounts less than approximately $100 in value due to the effect of rounding off each daily dividend to the nearest full cent. The calculation of yield under either procedure described above does not take into consideration any realized or unrealized gains or losses on the Funds' portfolio securities which may affect dividends. Therefore, the return on dividends declared during a period may not be the same on an annualized basis as the yield for that period.

|X|     Total Return Information. There are different types of "total returns" to measure the Funds' performance. Total return is the change in value of a hypothetical investment in a 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. Each Fund uses standardized calculations for its total returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

·     

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

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

|X|     Performance Rankings and Comparisons by Other Entities and Publications. From time to time the Funds may include in advertisements and sales literature performance information about the Funds 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 Funds' 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 Funds' 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 Funds' 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 Funds 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, insurance sponsors, shareholders or others.

From time to time the Funds may include in its advertisements and sales literature the total return performance of a hypothetical investment account that includes shares of the Funds 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 Funds and the total return performance of other Oppenheimer funds included in the account. Additionally, from time to time, the Funds' 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,

·     

information about the performance of certain securities or commodities markets or segments of those markets,


·     

information about the performance of the economies of particular countries or regions,


·     

the earnings of companies included in segments of particular industries, sectors, securities markets, countries or regions,


·

How to Buy and Sell Shares

Shares of the Funds are sold to provide benefits under variable life insurance policies and variable annuity and other insurance company separate accounts, as explained in the Prospectuses of the Funds and of the insurance product you have selected. Instructions from an investor to buy or sell shares of a Fund should be directed to the insurance sponsor for the investor's separate account, or that insurance sponsor's agent.

|X|     Allocation of Expenses. Each 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 each Fund's assets and are not paid directly by shareholders. However, those expenses reduce the net asset values of shares, and therefore are indirectly borne by shareholders through their investment.

For each Fund that has more than one class of shares outstanding, methodology for calculating the net asset value, dividends and distributions of each 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 a 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 Funds are determined as of the close of business of the NYSE on each day that the NYSE is open. The calculation is done by dividing the value of a Fund's net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are outstanding. The NYSE normally closes at 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, but may close earlier on some other days (for example, in case of weather emergencies or on days falling before a U.S. holiday). All references to time in this SAI mean "Eastern time." The NYSE's most recent annual announcement (which is subject to change) states that it will close on New Year's Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. It may also close on other days.
 
     Dealers other than NYSE members may conduct trading in certain securities on days on which the NYSE is closed (including weekends and holidays) or after 4:00 p.m. on a regular business day. Because the Funds' net asset values will not be calculated on those days, the Funds' net asset values per share may be significantly affected on such days when shareholders may not purchase or redeem shares. Additionally, trading on many foreign stock exchanges and over-the-counter markets normally is completed before the close of the NYSE.
 

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 NYSE, will not be reflected in the Funds' 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.

n     Securities Valuation. The Funds' Board of Trustees has established procedures for the valuation of the Funds' securities. In general those procedures for all Funds other than Money Fund/VA are as follows:

·     

Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange 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, 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 Funds' 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 Funds' 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 New York 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, 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 on the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the principal exchange on the valuation date. If the put, call or future is not traded on an exchange, 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 a Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in that 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 Funds' gain on investments, if a call or put written by a Fund is exercised, the proceeds are increased by the premium received. If a call or put written by a Fund expires, that Fund has a gain in the amount of the premium. If a 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 a Fund exercises a put it holds, the amount that Fund receives on its sale of the underlying investment is reduced by the amount of premium paid by that Fund.

Money Fund/VA Net Asset Valuation Per Share. Money Fund/VA will seek to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share for purchases and redemptions. There can be no assurance it will be able to do so. Money Fund/VA operates under Rule 2a-7 under which it may use the amortized cost method of valuing their shares. The Funds' Board of Trustees has adopted procedures for that purpose. The amortized cost method values a security initially at its cost and thereafter assumes a constant amortization of any premium or accretion of any discount, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates on the market value of the security. This method does not take into account unrealized capital gains or losses.
 

The Funds' Board of Trustees has established procedures intended to stabilize Money Fund/VA's net asset value at $1.00 per share. If Money Fund/VA's net asset value per share were to deviate from $1.00 by more than 0.5%, Rule 2a-7 requires the Board promptly to consider what action, if any, should be taken. If the Trustees find that the extent of any such deviation may result in material dilution or other unfair effects on shareholders, the Board will take whatever steps it considers appropriate to eliminate or reduce such dilution or unfair effects, including, without limitation, selling portfolio securities prior to maturity, shortening the average portfolio maturity, withholding or reducing dividends, reducing the outstanding number of shares of that Fund without monetary consideration, or calculating net asset value per share by using available market quotations.

As long as Money Fund/VA uses Rule 2a-7, it must abide by certain conditions described in the Prospectus which limit the maturity of securities that Fund buys. Under Rule 2a-7, the maturity of an instrument is generally considered to be its stated maturity (or in the case of an instrument called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment must be made), with special exceptions for certain variable rate demand and floating rate instruments. Repurchase agreements and securities loan agreements are, in general, treated as having maturity equal to the period scheduled until repurchase or return, or if subject to demand, equal to the notice period.

While amortized cost method provides certainty in valuation, there may be periods during which the value of an instrument, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price Money Fund/VA would receive if it sold the instrument. During periods of declining interest rates, the daily yield on shares of that Fund may tend to be lower (and net investment income and daily dividends higher) than market prices or estimates of market prices for its portfolio. Thus, if the use of amortized cost by the funds resulted in a lower aggregate portfolio value on a particular day, a prospective investor in Money Fund/VA would be able to obtain a somewhat higher yield than would result from investment in a fund utilizing solely market values, and existing investors in that Fund would receive less investment income than if Money Fund/VA were priced at market value. Conversely, during periods of rising interest rates, the daily yield on shares of that Fund will tend to be higher and its aggregate value lower than that of a portfolio priced at market value. A prospective investor would receive a lower yield than from an investment in a portfolio priced at market value, while existing investors in Money Fund/VA would receive more investment income than if that Fund were priced at market value.

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 Global Securities Fund/VA, Main Street Fund®/VA and Strategic Bond Fund/VA may determine that it would be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of those Funds to make payment of a redemption order wholly or partly in cash. In that case, the Funds may pay the redemption proceeds in whole or in part by a distribution "in kind" of liquid portfolio securities from the portfolio of the Funds, in lieu of cash. The Board of Trustees of the Fund has adopted procedures for "in kind" redemptions. In accordance with the procedures, the Board of Trustees of a Fund may be required to approve an "in kind" redemption paid to a shareholder that holds 5% or more of the shares of any class, or of all outstanding shares, of that Fund, or to any other shareholder that may be deemed to be an "affiliated person" under section 2(a)(3) of the Investment Company Act.

Each of Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA, Oppenheimer Main Street Fund®/VA and Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund/VA has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment Company Act. Under that rule, each of Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA, Oppenheimer Main Street Fund®/VA and Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund/VA is obligated to redeem shares solely in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of such Fund redeemed during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. As of the date of this SAI, those Funds intend to redeem shares in kind only under certain limited circumstances (such as redemptions of substantial amounts by shareholders that have consented to such in kind redemptions). If shares are redeemed in kind, the redeeming shareholder may incur brokerage or other costs in selling the securities. Each of Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA, Oppenheimer Main Street Fund®/VA and Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund/VA will value securities used to pay redemptions in kind using the same method it 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.


Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends and Distributions. The Funds have 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 Funds' portfolio, and expenses borne by the Fund or borne separately by a class (if more than one class of shares is outstanding). Dividends are calculated in the same manner, at the same time, and on the same day for each class of shares. Dividends on Service shares and Class 4 Shares are expected to be lower because of the additional expenses for those shares. Dividends will also differ in amount as a consequence of any difference in the net asset values of the different classes of shares.

     Taxes. Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to qualify as a "regulated investment company" under the provisions of Subchapter M of the Code. As a regulated investment company, each Fund is required to distribute to its shareholders for each taxable year at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (consisting generally of net investment income, net short-term capital gain, and net gains from certain foreign currency transactions). To qualify for treatment as a regulated investment company, a Fund must meet certain income source, asset diversification and income distribution requirements. If each Fund qualifies as a "regulated investment company" and complies with the relevant provisions of the Code, each Fund will be relieved of federal income tax on the part of its net ordinary income and realized net capital gain which it distributes to the separate accounts. If a Fund fails to qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund will be subject to federal, and possibly state, corporate taxes on its taxable income and gains. Furthermore, distributions to its shareholders will constitute ordinary dividend income to the extent of such Fund's available earnings and profits, and insurance policy and product holders could be subject to current tax on distributions received with respect to Fund shares.

Each Fund supports variable life insurance, variable annuity contracts and other insurance company separate accounts and therefore must, and intends to, comply with the diversification requirements imposed by section 817(h) of the Code and the regulations hereunder. These requirements place certain limitations on the proportion of each Fund's assets that may be represented by any single investment (which includes all securities of the issuer) and are in addition to the diversification requirements applicable to such Fund's status as a regulated investment company. For these purposes, each U.S. Government agency or instrumentality is treated as a separate issuer, while a particular foreign government and its agencies, instrumentalities, and political subdivisions are all considered the same issuer.

Generally, a regulated investment company must distribute substantially all of its ordinary income and capital gains in accordance with a calendar year distribution requirement in order to avoid a nondeductible 4% federal excise tax. However, the excise tax does not apply to a Fund whose only shareholders are certain tax-exempt trusts or segregated asset accounts of life insurance companies held in connection with variable contracts. The Funds intend to qualify for this exemption or to make distributions in accordance with the calendar year distribution requirements and therefore do not expect to be subject to this excise tax.

Foreign Taxes. Investment income received from sources within foreign countries may be subject to foreign income taxes. In this regard, withholding tax rates in countries with which the United States does not have a tax treaty are often as high as 30% or more. The United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries that entitle certain investors to a reduced rate of tax (generally 10-15%) or to certain exemptions from tax. Each Fund will operate so as to qualify for such reduced tax rates or tax exemptions whenever possible. While insurance policy and product holders will bear the cost of any foreign tax withholding, they will not be able to claim a foreign tax credit or deduction for taxes paid by the Fund.
 

The Funds that may invest in foreign securities, may invest in securities of "passive foreign investment companies" ("PFICs"). A PFIC is a foreign corporation that, in general, meets either of the following tests: (1) at least 75% of the its gross income is passive; or (2) an average of at least 50% of its assets produce, or are held for the production of, passive income. A Fund investing in securities of PFICs may be subject to U.S. federal income taxes and interest charges, which would reduce the investment return of a Fund making such investments. The owners of variable annuities, variable life insurance products and other insurance company separate accounts investing in such Fund would effectively bear the cost of these taxes and interest charges. In certain cases, a Fund may be eligible to make certain elections with respect to securities of PFICs that could reduce taxes and interest charges payable by the Fund. However, no assurance can be given that such elections can or will be made.

This is a general and abbreviated summary of the applicable provisions of the Code and Treasury Regulations currently in effect as interpreted by the Courts and the Internal Revenue Service. For further information, consult the prospectus and/or statement of additional information for your particular insurance product, as well as your own tax advisor.

Additional Information About the Funds

The Transfer Agent. OppenheimerFunds Services, the Funds' Transfer Agent, is a division of the Manager. It serves as the Transfer Agent for an annual per account fee. The Transfer Agent has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees to 0.35% per annum of shares of any class of any Fund. That undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. The Transfer Agent acts as shareholder servicing agent for other Oppenheimer funds. Information about your investment in the Funds through your variable annuity contract, variable life insurance policy or other plan can be obtained only from your participating insurance company or its servicing agent. The Funds' Transfer Agent does not hold or have access to those records. Instructions for buying or selling shares of the Funds should be given to your insurance company or its servicing agent, not directly to the Funds or its Transfer Agent.

The Custodian. J.P. Morgan Chase Bank is the custodian of the Funds' assets. The custodian's responsibilities include safeguarding and controlling the Funds' portfolio securities and handling the delivery of such securities to and from the Funds. It is the practice of the Funds to deal with the custodian in a manner uninfluenced by any banking relationship the custodian may have with the Manager and its affiliates. The Funds' 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 Registered Public Accounting Firm. At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

KPMG LLP serves as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Fund. KPMG LLP audits the Fund's financial statements and performs other related audit and tax services. KPMG LLP also acts as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Manager and certain other funds advised by the Manager and its affiliates. Audit and non-audit services provided by KPMG LLP to the Fund must be pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2008:
                 
    Investments in     Other Financial  
Valuation Description   Securities     Instruments*  
Level 1—Quoted Prices
  $ 466,729,333     $  
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs
           
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs
           
     
Total
  $ 466,729,333     $  
     
*   Other financial instruments include options written, currency contracts, futures, forwards and swap contracts. Currency contracts and forwards are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written and swaps are reported at their market value at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in determining value of the Fund’s investments, and a summary of changes to the valuation techniques, if any, during the reporting period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer MidCap Fund/VA (the “Fund”), is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation by investing in “growth type” companies. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
     Securities are valued using quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers. These securities are typically classified within Level 1 or 2; however, they may be designated as Level 3 if the dealer or portfolio pricing service values a security through an internal model with significant unobservable market data inputs.
     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
     Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
     Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
     “Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. These securities are typically designated as Level 2.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
     Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
     The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net

 


 

realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

2.   As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $217,996,958 of post-October losses available to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2017.
 
3.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund utilized $4,134,778 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
 
4.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund utilized $189,103,306 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
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 net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2008. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

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

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations and investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund and OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC, for the year ended December 31, 2008, were as follows:
                 
    Purchases     Sales  
 
Investment securities
  $ 616,640,852     $ 718,329,116  
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
         
Fee Schedule        
 
Up to $200 million
    0.75 %
Next $200 million
    0.72  
Next $200 million

Next $200 million
    0.66  
Next $700 million
    0.60  
Over $1.5 billion
    0.58  
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 a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $20,028 to OFS for services to the Fund.
     Additionally, funds offered in variable annuity separate accounts are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per class, for class level assets of $10 million or more. Each class is subject to the minimum fee in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fee.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009 (the “waiver period”), the Manager has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee rate by 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets if the Fund’s trailing one-year total return performance is in the fourth or fifth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper peer group as of August 31, 2008. However, if the Fund’s trailing one-year total return performance, as measured at the end of any subsequent calendar quarter during the waiver period, improves to the third or higher quintile of the Fund’s Lipper peer group, the advisory fee reduction will be terminated effective the following business day. During the year ended December 31, 2008, OFI waived $186,318. The advisory fee reduction is a voluntary undertaking and may be terminated by the Manager at any time.
     OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager waived $12,191 for IMMF management fees.
5. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
6. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

 

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Balanced Fund/VA:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Balanced Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1.   Non-income producing security.
 
2.   Illiquid security. The aggregate value of illiquid securities as of December 31, 2008 was $259,210, which represents 0.11% of the Fund’s net assets. See Note 8 of accompanying Notes.
 
3.   Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security.
 
4.   When-issued security or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after December 31, 2008. See Note 1 of accompanying Notes.
 
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. These securities amount to $5,321,813 or 2.23% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008.
 
6.   Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows. These securities amount to $326,239 or 0.14% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008.
 
7.   All or a portion of the security is held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts. The aggregate market value of such securities is $752,067. See Note 6 of accompanying Notes.
 
8.   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 $4,411,919 or 1.85% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008.
 
9.   This bond has no contractual maturity date, is not redeemable and contractually pays an indefinite stream of interest. Rate reported represents the current interest rate for this variable rate security.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2008:
                 
    Investments in     Other Financial  
Valuation Description   Securities     Instruments*  
 
Level 1—Quoted Prices
  $ 154,537,033     $ (393,056 )
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs

Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs
           
     
Total
  $ 285,806,688     $ (928,685 )
     
*   Other financial instruments include options written, currency contracts, futures, forwards and swap contracts. Currency contracts and forwards are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written and swaps are reported at their market value at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in determining value of the Fund’s investments, and a summary of changes to the valuation techniques, if any, during the reporting period.

*   The CMBS Indexes are representative indexes of segments of the commercial mortgage backed securities market. These indexes are measured by movements in the credit spreads of the underlying holdings. As the credit market perceives an improvement in the credit quality of an Index’s underlying holdings and reduced probability of default, the spread of an index narrows. As the credit market perceives a decrease in credit quality and an increased probability of default on an Index’s underlying holdings, the spread widens.
Abbreviation is as follows:
CMBS                Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities
A — The Fund makes periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Entity, widen.
B — The Fund makes periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Entity, narrow.
C — The Fund receives periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Enitiy, widen.
D — The Fund receives periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Enitiy, narrow.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Balanced Fund/VA (the “Fund”), is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high total investment return, which includes current income and capital appreciation in the value of its shares. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
     Securities are valued using quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers. These securities are typically classified within Level 1 or 2; however, they may be designated as Level 3 if the dealer or portfolio pricing service values a security through an internal model with significant unobservable market data inputs.
     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
     Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
     Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
     “Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. These securities are typically designated as Level 2.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.
As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
         
    When-Issued or Delayed Delivery  
    Basis Transactions  
 
Purchased securities
  $ 46,852,956  
The Fund may 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 (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.
     Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; counterparty credit risk. To assure its future payment of the purchase price, the Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the payment obligation under the roll.

 


 

Securities Sold Short. The Fund may short sell when-issued securities for future settlement. The value of the open short position is recorded as a liability, and the Fund records an unrealized gain or loss for the change in value of the open short position. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out.
     As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had no securities sold short.
Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default. As of December 31, 2008, securities with an aggregate market value of $286,441, representing 0.12% of the Fund’s net assets, were in default.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
     Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
     The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investments in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (“LAF”) is a limited liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. The Fund’s investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAF’s expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.
Investments With Off-Balance Sheet Market Risk. The Fund enters into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1.   As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $44,402,106 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of December 31, 2008, details of the capital loss carryforward were as follows:

  $ 44,402,106  
2.   As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $15,792,384 of post-October losses available to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2017.
 
3.   The Fund had $526 of post-October foreign currency losses which were deferred.
 
4.   The Fund had $277,087 of straddle losses which were deferred.
 
5.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
 
6.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains 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 net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2008. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2008 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations and investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund and OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LCC, for the year ended December 31, 2008, were as follows:

To Be Announced (TBA) mortgage-related securities
    474,582,075       434,587,487  
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
         
Fee Schedule        
 
Up to $200 million
    0.75 %
Next $200 million
    0.72  
Next $200 million
    0.69  
Next $200 million
    0.66  
Over $800 million
    0.60  

 


 

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 a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $20,022 to OFS for services to the Fund.
     Additionally, funds offered in variable annuity separate accounts are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per class, for class level assets of $10 million or more. Each class is subject to the minimum fee in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fee.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued
assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective September 1, 2007, the Manager voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of the advisory fee and/or reimburse certain expenses so the “Expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses” will not exceed 0.67% of average net assets for Non-Service shares and 0.92% of average annual net assets for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2008, OFS waived $263,110 and $95,094 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively. This voluntary waiver and/or reimbursement may be withdrawn at any time.
     OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager waived $5,307 for IMMF management fees.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
     Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
     Risks to the Fund include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. 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 payments that the Fund has not yet received.
     As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had no outstanding forward contracts.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
6. Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
     Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
     Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.
     Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
     Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
7. Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into privately negotiated agreements with a counterparty to exchange or “swap” payments at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). The swap agreement will specify the “notional” amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. As derivative contracts, swaps typically do not have an associated cost at contract inception. At initiation, contract terms are typically set at market value such that the value of the swap is $0. If a counterparty specifies terms that would result in the contract having a value other than $0 at initiation, one counterparty will pay the other an upfront payment to equalize the contract. Subsequent changes in market value are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional value of the contract. Contract types may include credit default, interest rate, total return, and currency swaps.
     Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from pricing services, counterparties or brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The value of the contracts is separately disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is comprised of the change in the valuation of the swap combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. Any payment received or paid to initiate a contract is recorded as a cost of the swap in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations until contract termination; upon contract termination, this amount is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Excluding amounts paid at contract initiation as described above, the Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
     Risks of entering into swap contracts include credit, market and liquidity risk. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty fails to make a payment when due or otherwise defaults under the terms of the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received. Market risk is the risk that the value of the contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may be unable to close the contract prior to its termination.

 


 

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection on a debt security against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on the debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a single security or a basket of securities (the “reference asset”).
     The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of debt securities underlying the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.
     The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.
     If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the reference asset less the market value of the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between the value of the underlying reference asset and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.
     Risks of credit default swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk. Additional risks include but are not limited to: the cost of paying for credit protection if there are no credit events or the cost of selling protection when a credit event occurs (paying the notional amount to the protection buyer); and pricing transparency when assessing the value of a credit default swap.
     As of the period end, the Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to gain exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and/or indexes that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The Fund has also engaged in pairs trades by purchasing protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of an issuer, and simultaneously selling protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of a different issuer with the intent to realize gains from the pricing differences of the two issuers who are expected to have similar market risks. Pairs trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk while hedging or offsetting the effects of overall market movements. In addition, the Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same issuer but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.
     Risks of interest rate swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk. Additional risks include but are not limited to, interest rate risk. There is a risk, based on future movements of interest rates that the payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments it received.
Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.
     Risks of total return swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
8. Illiquid Securities
As of December 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. 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. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
9. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
     As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had no securities on loan.
10. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
11. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

 

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.) 3)
Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2008:
                 
    Investments in     Other Financial  
Valuation Description   Securities     Instruments*  
Level 1—Quoted Prices

Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs
           
 
               
Total
  $ 1,121,917,579     $ (3,757 )
* Other financial instruments include options written, currency contracts, futures, forwards and swap contracts. Currency contracts and forwards are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written and swaps are reported at their market value at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in determining value of the Fund’s investments, and a summary of changes to the valuation techniques, if any, during the reporting period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation by investing in securities of well-known, established companies. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
Securities are valued using quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers. These securities are typically classified within Level 1 or 2; however, they may be designated as Level 3 if the dealer or portfolio pricing service values a security through an internal model with significant unobservable market data inputs.
     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
     Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
     Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
     “Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. These securities are typically designated as Level 2.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
     In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
     Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
     The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investments With Off-Balance Sheet Market Risk. The Fund enters into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets

 


 

represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1.   As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $243,920,551 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of December 31, 2008, details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

2.   As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $138,475,074 of post-October losses available to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2017.
 
3.   The Fund had $63,277 of post-October foreign currency losses which were deferred.
 
4.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
 
5.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund utilized $151,992,802 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
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 net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2008. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

 


 

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued
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 a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $20,074 to OFS for services to the Fund.
     Additionally, funds offered in variable annuity separate accounts are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per class, for class level assets of $10 million or more. Each class is subject to the minimum fee in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fee.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager waived $15,619 for IMMF management fees.

The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
     Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
     Risks to the Fund include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. 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 payments that the Fund has not yet received.
6. Illiquid Securities
As of December 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. 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. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.


 

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
8. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

 

 
 
 
 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund/VA:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Footnotes to Statement of Investments
 
1.   Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security.
 
2.   Illiquid security. The aggregate value of illiquid securities as of December 31, 2008 was $5,141,245, which represents 2.34% of the Fund’s net assets. See Note 8 of accompanying Notes.
 
3.   All or a portion of the security is held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts. The aggregate market value of such securities is $825,070. See Note 5 of accompanying Notes.
 
4.   Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $13,064,019 or 5.95% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008.
 
5.   Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows. These securities amount to $755,368 or 0.34% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008.
 
6.   When-issued security or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after December 31, 2008. See Note 1 of accompanying Notes.
 
7.   Zero coupon bond reflects effective yield on the date of purchase.
 
8.   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 $9,520,960 or 4.34% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008.
 
9.   Issue is in default. See Note 1 of accompanying Notes.
 
10.   This bond has no contractual maturity date, is not redeemable and contractually pays an indefinite stream of interest. Rate reported represents the current interest rate for this variable rate security.
 
11.   Non-income producing security.
 
12.   Is or was an affiliate, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, at or during the period ended December 31, 2008, by virtue of the Fund owning at least 5% of the voting securities of the issuer or as a result of the Fund and the issuer having the same investment adviser.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2008:
                 
    Investments     Other Financial  
Valuation Description   in Securities     Instruments*  
 
Level 1—Quoted Prices
  $ 13,605,218     $ (509,885 )
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs

Total
  $ 306,331,228     $ (4,579,719 )
     
*   Other financial instruments include options written, currency contracts, futures, forwards and swap contracts. Currency contracts and forwards are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written and swaps are reported at their market value at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in determining value of the Fund’s investments, and a summary of changes to the valuation techniques, if any, during the reporting period.

*   The CMBS Indexes are representative indexes of segments of the commercial mortgage backed securities market. These indexes are measured by movements in the credit spreads of the underlying holdings. As the credit market perceives an improvement in the credit quality of an Index’s underlying holdings and reduced probability of default, the spread of an index narrows. As the credit market perceives a decrease in credit quality and an increased probability of default on an Index’s underlying holdings, the spread widens.
Abbreviation is as follows:
     
CMBS
  Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities
A — The Fund makes periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Entity, widen.
B — The Fund makes periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Entity, narrow.
C — The Fund receives periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Enitiy, widen.
D — The Fund receives periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Enitiy, narrow.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund/VA (the “Fund”), is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s main investment objective is to seek a high level of current income. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks capital appreciation when consistent with its primary objective. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
     Securities are valued using quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers. These securities are typically classified within Level 1 or 2; however, they may be designated as Level 3 if the dealer or portfolio pricing service values a security through an internal model with significant unobservable market data inputs.
     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
     Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
     Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
     “Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. These securities are typically designated as Level 2.

In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.
As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
         
    When-Issued or Delayed  
    Delivery Basis Transactions  
 
Purchased securities
  $ 86,956,884  
The Fund may 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 (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.
     Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; counterparty credit risk. To assure its future payment of the purchase price, the Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the payment obligation under the roll.

 


 

Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default. As of December 31, 2008, securities with an aggregate market value of $702,820, representing 0.32% of the Fund’s net assets, were in default.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investments in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (“LAF”) is a limited liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. The Fund’s investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAF’s expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.
Investments With Off-Balance Sheet Market Risk. The Fund enters into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

3.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
 
4.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains 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 net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2008. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
         
Fee Schedule        
 
Up to $1 billion
    0.60 %
Over $1 billion
    0.50  
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 a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $20,020 to OFS for services to the Fund.
     Additionally, funds offered in variable annuity separate accounts are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per class, for class level assets of $10 million or more. Each class is subject to the minimum fee in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fee.

 


 

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager voluntarily reimbursed expenses of $21,750 related to the acquisition of Government Securities Portfolio.
     OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager waived $7,971 for IMMF management fees.
5. Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
     Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
     Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.
     Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
     Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
6. Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into privately negotiated agreements with a counterparty to exchange or “swap” payments at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). The swap agreement will specify the “notional” amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. As derivative contracts, swaps typically do not have an associated cost at contract inception. At initiation, contract terms are typically set at market value such that the value of the swap is $0. If a

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
6. Swap Contracts Continued
counterparty specifies terms that would result in the contract having a value other than $0 at initiation, one counterparty will pay the other an upfront payment to equalize the contract. Subsequent changes in market value are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional value of the contract. Contract types may include credit default, interest rate, total return, and currency swaps.
     Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from pricing services, counterparties or brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The value of the contracts is separately disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is comprised of the change in the valuation of the swap combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. Any payment received or paid to initiate a contract is recorded as a cost of the swap in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations until contract termination; upon contract termination, this amount is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Excluding amounts paid at contract initiation as described above, the Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
     Risks of entering into swap contracts include credit, market and liquidity risk. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty fails to make a payment when due or otherwise defaults under the terms of the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received. Market risk is the risk that the value of the contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may be unable to close the contract prior to its termination.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection on a debt security against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on the debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a single security or a basket of securities (the “reference asset”).
     The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of debt securities underlying the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.
     The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.
     If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the reference asset less the market value of the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between the value of the underlying reference asset and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.
     Risks of credit default swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk. Additional risks include but are not limited to: the cost of paying for credit protection if there are no credit events or the cost of selling protection when a credit event occurs (paying the notional amount to the protection buyer); and pricing transparency when assessing the value of a credit default swap.

 


 

     As of the period end, the Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to gain exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and/or indexes that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The Fund has also engaged in pairs trades by purchasing protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of an issuer, and simultaneously selling protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of a different issuer with the intent to realize gains from the pricing differences of the two issuers who are expected to have similar market risks. Pairs trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk while hedging or offsetting the effects of overall market movements. In addition, the Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same issuer but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.
     Risks of interest rate swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk. Additional risks include but are not limited to, interest rate risk. There is a risk, based on future movements of interest rates that the payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments it received.
Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.
     Risks of total return swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk.
8. Illiquid Securities
As of December 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. 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. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
9. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
     As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had no securities on loan.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
10. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
11. Acquisition of Government Securities Portfolio
On April 30, 2008, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Government Securities Portfolio, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Government Securities Portfolio shareholders on April 25, 2008. The Fund issued (at an exchange ratio of 1.0341 for Non-Service of the Fund to one share of Government Securities Portfolio) 1,626,777 shares of beneficial interest for Non-Service, valued at $17,178,762 in exchange for the net assets, resulting in combined Non-Service net assets of $321,759,067 on April 30, 2008. The net assets acquired included net unrealized appreciation $284,900 and an unused capital loss carryforward of $194,746, potential utilization subject to tax limitations. The exchange qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.
12. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation by investing a substantial portion of its assets in securities of foreign issuers, “growth-type” companies, cyclical industries and special situations that are considered to have appreciation possibilities. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The Fund offers Non-Service, Service, Class 3 and Class 4 shares. All classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares being designated as Service shares and Class 4 shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. The Fund assesses a 1% fee on the proceeds of Class 3 and Class 4 shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund or other investment option offered through your variable life insurance or variable annuity contract) within 60 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
     Securities are valued using quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers. These securities are typically classified within Level 1 or 2; however, they may be designated as Level 3 if the dealer or portfolio pricing service values a security through an internal model with significant unobservable market data inputs.
     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
     Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
     Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
     “Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. These securities are typically designated as Level 2.
     In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
     Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
     The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

 


 

Investments in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (“LAF”) is a limited liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. The Fund’s investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAF’s expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.
Investments With Off-Balance Sheet Market Risk. The Fund enters into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1.   As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $23,157,860 of post-October losses available to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2017.
 
2.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
 
3.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains 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 net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Certain foreign countries impose a tax on capital gains which is accrued by the Fund based on unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. The tax is paid when the gain is realized.
Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

 


 

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations and investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund and OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC, for the year ended December 31, 2008, were as follows:
                 
    Purchases     Sales  
 
Investment securities
  $ 575,234,267     $ 763,285,976  
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
         
Fee Schedule        
 
Up to $200 million
    0.75 %
Next $200 million
    0.72  
Next $200 million
    0.69  
Next $200 million
    0.66  
Over $800 million
    0.60  
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 a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $40,115 to OFS for services to the Fund.
     Additionally, funds offered in variable annuity separate accounts are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per class, for class level assets of $10 million or more. Each class is subject to the minimum fee in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fee.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares and Class 4 Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares and Class 4 shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares and Class 4 shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Service shares and Class 4 shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that

 


 

hold Service shares and Class 4 shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares and Class 4 shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager waived $50,784 for IMMF management fees.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
     Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
     Risks to the Fund include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. 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 payments that the Fund has not yet received.
6. Illiquid Securities
As of December 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. 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. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
7. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
     As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had no securities on loan.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
9. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

 

 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2008:
                      
    Investments in     Other Financial  
Valuation Description   Securities     Instruments*  
 
Level 1—Quoted Prices
  $ 77,030,679     $  
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs

Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs

Total
  $ 195,815,753     $ (44,330,311 )
     
*   Other financial instruments include options written, currency contracts, futures, forwards and swap contracts. Currency contracts and forwards are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written and swaps are reported at their market value at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in determining value of the Fund’s investments, and a summary of changes to the valuation techniques, if any, during the reporting period.

*   The CMBS Indexes are representative indexes of segments of the commercial mortgage backed securities market. These indexes are measured by movements in the credit spreads of the underlying holdings. As the credit market perceives an improvement in the credit quality of an Index’s underlying holdings and reduced probability of default, the spread of an index narrows. As the credit market perceives a decrease in credit quality and an increased probability of default on an Index’s underlying holdings, the spread widens.
Abbreviation is as follows:
CMBS Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities
A—The Fund makes periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Entity, widen.
B—The Fund makes periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Entity, narrow.
C—The Fund receives periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Entity, widen.
D—The Fund receives periodic payments when credit spreads, as represented by the Reference Entity, narrow.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income by investing mainly in a diversified portfolio of high-yield, lower-grade, fixed-income securities that the Fund’s investment manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”), believes does not involve undue risk. On December 17, 2008, the Manager purchased Non-Service Shares of the Fund for $50,000,000. As of December 31, 2008, 47% of the shares outstanding of Non-Service Shares were owned by the Manager.
     The Fund offers Non-Service, Service, Class 3 and Class 4 shares. All classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares being designated as Service shares and Class 4 shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. The Fund assesses a 1% fee on the proceeds of Class 3 and Class 4 shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund or other investment option offered through your variable life insurance or variable annuity contract) within 60 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
     Securities are valued using quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers. These securities are typically classified within Level 1 or 2; however, they may be designated as Level 3 if the dealer or portfolio pricing service values a security through an internal model with significant unobservable market data inputs.
     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
     Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
     “Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. These securities are typically designated as Level 2.
     In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.
     As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had no purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and no sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis.
     The Fund may 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 (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.
     Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities

 


 

sold to the counterparty; counterparty credit risk. To assure its future payment of the purchase price, the Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the payment obligation under the roll.
Securities Sold Short. The Fund may short sell when-issued securities for future settlement. The value of the open short position is recorded as a liability, and the Fund records an unrealized gain or loss for the change in value of the open short position. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out.
     As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had no securities sold short.
Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default. As of December 31, 2008, securities with an aggregate market value of $606,546, representing 0.38% of the Fund’s net assets, were in default.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
     Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
     The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investments With Off-Balance Sheet Market Risk. The Fund enters into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
     The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

2.   As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $93,885,653 of post-October losses available to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2017.
 
3.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
 
4.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund utilized $4,768,054 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
 
5.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, $9,779,664 of unused capital loss carryforward expired.
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 net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
     Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2008. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
         
Fee Schedule        
Up to $200 million
    0.75 %
Next $200 million
    0.72  
Next $200 million
    0.69  
Next $200 million
    0.66  
Next $200 million
    0.60  
Over $1 billion
    0.50  
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 a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $26,163 to OFS for services to the Fund.
     Additionally, funds offered in variable annuity separate accounts are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per class, for class level assets of $10 million or more. Each class is subject to the minimum fee in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fee.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares and Class 4 Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares and Class 4 shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares and Class 4 shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Service shares and Class 4 shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares and Class 4 shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares and Class 4 shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective September 1, 2008 through August 31, 2009 (the “waiver period”), the Manager has voluntarily agreed to reduce its advisory fee rate by 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets if the Fund’s trailing one-year total return performance is in the fifth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper peer group and by 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets if the Fund’s trailing one-year total return performance is in the fourth quintile of the Fund’s Lipper peer group as of August 31, 2008. However, if the Fund’s trailing one-year total return performance, as measured at the end of any calendar quarter during the waiver period, improves from the fifth quintile to the fourth quintile, the advisory fee waiver for subsequent quarters during the waiver period will be reduced only by an annualized rate of 0.05% of the Fund’s average daily net assets, and if the Fund’s trailing one-year total return performance at the end of any calendar quarter during the waiver period improves to the third or higher quintile of the Fund’s Lipper peer group, the advisory fee reduction will be terminated effective the following business day. During the year ended December 31, 2008, OFI waived $67,380. The advisory fee reduction is a voluntary undertaking and may be terminated by the Manager at any time.
     OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager waived $13,665 for IMMF management fees.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
5. Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
     Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
     Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.
     Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
     Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
     As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had no outstanding futures contracts.
6. Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into privately negotiated agreements with a counterparty to exchange or “swap” payments at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). The swap agreement will specify the “notional” amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. As derivative contracts, swaps typically do not have an associated cost at contract inception. At initiation, contract terms are typically set at market value such that the value of the swap is $0. If a counterparty specifies terms that would result in the contract having a value other than $0 at initiation, one counter-party will pay the other an upfront payment to equalize the contract. Subsequent changes in market value are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional value of the contract. Contract types may include credit default, interest rate, total return, and currency swaps.
     Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from pricing services, counterparties or brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The value of the contracts is separately disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is comprised of the change in the valuation of the swap combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. Any payment received or paid to initiate a contract is recorded as a cost of the swap in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations until contract termination; upon contract termination, this amount is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Excluding amounts paid at contract initiation as described above, the Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
     Risks of entering into swap contracts include credit, market and liquidity risk. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty fails to make a payment when due or otherwise defaults under the terms of the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received. Market risk is the risk that the value of the contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may be unable to close the contract prior to its termination.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection on a debt security against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on the debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a single security or a basket of securities (the “reference asset”).
     The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of debt securities underlying the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.
     The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.
     If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the reference asset less the market value of the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between the value of the underlying reference asset and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.
     Risks of credit default swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk. Additional risks include but are not limited to: the cost of paying for credit protection if there are no credit events or the cost of selling protection when a credit event occurs (paying the notional amount to the protection buyer); and pricing transparency when assessing the value of a credit default swap.
     As of the period end, the Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to gain exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and/or indexes that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The Fund has also engaged in pairs trades by purchasing protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of an issuer, and simultaneously selling protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of a different issuer with the intent to realize gains from the pricing differences of the two issuers who are expected to have similar market risks. Pairs trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk while hedging or offsetting the effects of overall market movements. In addition, the Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same issuer but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.
     Risks of interest rate swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk. Additional risks include but are not limited to, interest rate risk. There is a risk, based on future movements of interest rates that the payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments it received.

6. Swap Contracts Continued
Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.
     Risks of total return swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk.
7. Illiquid Securities
As of December 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. 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. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
9. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS Continued
Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2008:
                 
    Investments in     Other Financial  
Valuation Description   Securities     Instruments*  
 
Level 1—Quoted Prices
  $ 1,541,546,199     $  
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs
    10,451,130        
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs
           
     
Total
  $ 1,551,997,329     $  
     
*   Other financial instruments include options written, currency contracts, futures, forwards and swap contracts. Currency contracts and forwards are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written and swaps are reported at their market value at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in determining value of the Fund’s investments, and a summary of changes to the valuation techniques, if any, during the reporting period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA (the “Fund”), is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek high total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
     Securities are valued using quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers. These securities are typically classified within Level 1 or 2; however, they may be designated as Level 3 if the dealer or portfolio pricing service values a security through an internal model with significant unobservable market data inputs.
     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
     Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
     Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
     “Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. These securities are typically designated as Level 2.


 

     In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
     Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
     The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investments in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (“LAF”) is a limited liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. The Fund’s investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAF’s expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1.   As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $217,993,206 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of December 31, 2008, details of the capital loss carryforward were as follows:
         
Expiring  
 
2016
  $ 217,993,206  
2.   As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $30,270,322 of post-October losses available to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2017.
 
3.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
 
4.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund utilized $51,195,980 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
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 net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2008. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2008 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations and investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund and OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC, for the year ended December 31, 2008, were as follows:
                 
    Purchases     Sales  
 
Investment securities
  $ 2,588,552,424     $ 2,601,405,624  
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
         
Fee Schedule        
 
Up to $200 million
    0.75
Next $200 million
    0.72  
Next $200 million
    0.69  
Next $200 million
    0.66  
Over $800 million
    0.60  


 

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 a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $20,065 to OFS for services to the Fund.
     Additionally, funds offered in variable annuity separate accounts are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per class, for class level assets of $10 million or more. Each class is subject to the minimum fee in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fee.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager waived $11,091 for IMMF management fees.
5. Illiquid Securities
As of December 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. 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. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
6. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had on loan securities valued at $103,659,542. Collateral of $103,600,720 was received for the loans, all of which was received in cash and subsequently invested in approved instruments or held as cash.

7. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
8. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.   
  Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
     Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement for another year. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

 

 


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2008:
                 
    Investments in     Other Financial  
Valuation Description   Securities     Instruments*  
Level 1—Quoted Prices
  $ 671,016,762     $  
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs
    46,767,403        
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs
           
     
Total
  $ 717,784,165     $  
 
           
*   Other financial instruments include options written, currency contracts, futures, forwards and swap contracts. Currency contracts and forwards are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written and swaps are reported at their market value at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in determining value of the Fund’s investments, and a summary of changes to the valuation techniques, if any, during the reporting period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
     Securities are valued using quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers. These securities are typically classified within Level 1 or 2; however, they may be designated as Level 3 if the dealer or portfolio pricing service values a security through an internal model with significant unobservable market data inputs.
     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
     Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
     Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
     “Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. These securities are typically designated as Level 2.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
     In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Concentration of Risks. The Fund from time to time may have elements of concentration risk due to the value of certain securities held compared to the overall net investments value of the Fund. Such concentrations may subject the Fund to additional risks.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
     Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
     The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investments in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (“LAF”) is a limited

 


 

liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. The Fund’s investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAF’s expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.
Investments With Off-Balance Sheet Market Risk. The Fund enters into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1.   As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $91,820,783 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of December 31, 2008, details of the capital loss carryforward were as follows:

  $ 91,820,783  
2. As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $22,025,415 of post-October losses available to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2017.
3. The Fund had $57 of post-October foreign currency losses which were deferred.
4. The Fund had $1,382 of post-October passive foreign investment company losses which were deferred.
5. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
6. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains 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 net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.


 

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
         
Fee Schedule        
 
Up to $200 million
    0.75 %
Next $200 million
    0.72  
Next $200 million
    0.69  
Next $200 million
    0.66  
Over $800 million
    0.60  
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 a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $20,063 to OFS for services to the Fund.
     Additionally, funds offered in variable annuity separate accounts are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per class, for class level assets of $10 million or more. Each class is subject to the minimum fee in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fee.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager waived $7,346 for IMMF management fees.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
     Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
     Risks to the Fund include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. 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 payments that the Fund has not yet received.
     As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had no outstanding forward contracts.

 


 

6. Illiquid or Restricted Securities
As of December 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. 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. A restricted security may have a contractual restriction on its resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid and restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers, may not be subject to that limitation. Securities that are illiquid or restricted are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments. Restricted securities are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments.
7. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had on loan securities valued at $112,421,328. Collateral of $112,509,871 was received for the loans, all of which was received in cash and subsequently invested in approved instruments or held as cash.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
9. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

 

 
 
 
 


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Footnotes to Statement of Investments
Short-term notes and direct bank obligations are generally traded on a discount basis; the interest rate shown is the discount rate received by the Fund at the time of purchase. Other securities normally bear interest at the rates shown.
1.   Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security.
2.   Security issued in an exempt transaction without registration under the Securities Act of 1933. Such securities amount to $78,973,222, or 32.45% of the Fund’s net assets, and have been determined to be liquid pursuant to guidelines adopted by the Board of Trustees.
3.   Illiquid security. The aggregate value of illiquid securities as of December 31, 2008 was $4,500,000, which represents 1.85% of the Fund’s net assets. See Note 4 of accompanying Notes.
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 $13,643,796 or 5.61% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008.
Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1–quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2–inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3–unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2008:
                 
    Investments     Other Financial

Total

*   Other financial instruments include options written, currency contracts, futures, forwards and swap contracts. Currency contracts and forwards are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written and swaps are reported at their market value at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in determining value of the Fund’s investments, and a summary of changes to the valuation techniques, if any, during the reporting period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek maximum current income from investments in “money market” securities consistent with low capital risk and the maintenance of liquidity. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. Securities are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined under procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
     “Money market-type” instruments are typically designated as Level 2.
     In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

 


 

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years for federal income tax purposes.
                 
Undistributed Net   Undistributed     Accumulated Loss  
Investment Income   Long-Term Gains     Carryforward1,2  
 
$152,499
    $—       $—  
1.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund utilized $2 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
 
2.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforwards.
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 net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was as follows:
                 
    Year Ended     Year Ended  
    December 31, 2008     December 31, 2007  
 
Distributions paid from:
               
Ordinary income
    $5,787,153       $8,817,594  
Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually but may be paid at other times to maintain the net asset value per share at $1.00.
Investment Income. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest
The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:
                                 
    Year Ended December 31, 2008     Year Ended December 31, 2007  
    Shares     Amount     Shares     Amount

    53,607,490     $ 53,607,490       18,231,526     $ 18,231,526  
     
3. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
         
Fee Schedule        
 
Up to $500 million
    0.450 %
Next $500 million
    0.425  
Next $500 million
    0.400  
Over $1.5 billion
    0.375  
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 a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $10,017 to OFS for services to the Fund.
     Additionally, funds offered in variable annuity separate accounts are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 for assets of $10 million or more. The Fund is subject to the minimum fee in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fee.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has voluntarily undertaken to waive fees to the extent necessary to assist the Fund in attempting to maintain a positive yield. There is no guarantee that the Fund will maintain a positive yield. That undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees to 0.35% of average annual net assets of the Fund. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

 


 

4. Illiquid Securities
As of December 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid. 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. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid securities. Securities that are illiquid are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments.
5. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
6. Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds
The Fund’s Board of Trustees has elected for the Fund to participate in the Temporary Guarantee Program for Money Market Funds (the “Program”) established by the U.S. Treasury Department. The Treasury Department has accepted the Fund’s application to participate in the Program and entered into a Guarantee Agreement with the Fund dated as of September 19, 2008. The Fund has also notified the Treasury Department of its intent to continue its participation in the Program through April 30, 2009.
     Under the Program, shareholders of the Fund as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 may be guaranteed against loss in the event that the Fund’s net asset value falls below $0.995. The Program applies only to shareholders of record as of the close of business on September 19, 2008. The number of shares covered by the Program will be the lesser of (a) the number of shares of the Fund owned by the shareholder on September 19, 2008 or (b) the number of shares owned by the shareholder on the date the Fund’s net asset value falls below $0.995. If the number of shares of the Fund a shareholder holds after September 19, 2008 fluctuates during the Program period due to purchases or redemptions of shares, any shares in excess of the amount held as of the close of business on September 19, 2008 will not be covered.
     The Fund has paid a fee to participate in the Program’s initial term in the amount equal to 0.01% of the Fund’s net assets as of the close of business on September 19, 2008. The Fund has paid an additional fee to continue its participation in the Program through April 30, 2009 in the amount of 0.015% of the Fund’s net assets as of the close of business on September 19, 2008. Fees paid by the Fund to participate in the Program are shown as insurance expense on the Statement of Operations. Participation in any further extension of the Program would require payment of an additional fee.
7. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

 


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund/VA:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

3.   Non-income producing security.
 
4.   Issue is in default. See Note 1 of accompanying Notes.
 
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. These securities amount to $22,444,545 or 0.65% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008.
 
6.   Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows. These securities amount to $5,330,153 or 0.15% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008.
 
7.   When-issued security or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after December 31, 2008. See Note 1 of accompanying Notes.
 
8.   Partial or fully-loaned security. See Note 10 of accompanying Notes.
 
9.   A sufficient amount of liquid assets has been designated to cover outstanding written put options. See Note 7 of accompanying Notes.
 
10.   Zero coupon bond reflects effective yield on the date of purchase.
 
11.   All or a portion of the security is held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts. The aggregate market value of such securities is $45,907,536. See Note 6 of accompanying Notes.
 
12.   Denotes an inflation-indexed security: coupon and principal are indexed to the consumer price index.
 
13.   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 $233,849,534 or 6.76% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2008.
 
14.   Denotes a step bond: a zero coupon bond that converts to a fixed or variable interest rate at a designated future date.
 
15.   This bond has no contractual maturity date, is not redeemable and contractually pays an indefinite stream of interest. Rate reported represents the current interest rate for this variable rate security.
 
16.   Interest or dividend is paid-in-kind, when applicable.
 
17.   Swap contract terms if the option was exercised on exercise date.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities activelytraded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices forsimilar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2008:
                 
    Investments in     Other Financial  
Valuation Description   Securities     Instruments*  
 
Level 1—Quoted Prices
  $ 756,438,321     $ (4,080,437 )
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs
    3,134,767,144       (53,323,121 )
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs
    377,567        
     
Total
  $ 3,891,583,032     $ (57,403,558 )
     
*   Other financial instruments include options written, currency contracts, futures, forwards, swap contracts, short contracts and unfunded loan commitments. Currency contracts, forwards and unfunded loan commitments are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written, swaps and short contracts are reported at their market value at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in determining value of the Fund’s investments, and a summary of changes to the valuation techniques, if any, during the reporting period.

*   The CMBS Indexes are representative indexes of segments of the commercial mortgage backed securities market. These indexes are measured by movements in the credit spreads of the underlying holdings. As the credit market perceives an improvement in the credit quality of an Index’s underlying holdings and reduced probability of default, the spread of an index narrows. As the credit market perceives a decrease in credit quality and an increased probability of default on an Index’s underlying holdings, the spread widens.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Strategic Bond Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek a high level of current income principally derived from interest on debt securities. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
     Securities are valued using quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers. These securities are typically classified within Level 1 or 2; however, they may be designated as Level 3 if the dealer or portfolio pricing service values a security through an internal model with significant unobservable market data inputs.
     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
     Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
     Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
     “Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. These securities are typically designated as Level 2.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Structured Securities. The Fund invests in structured securities whose market values, interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked to the performance of underlying foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, stock market indices, prices of individual securities, commodities or other financial instruments or the occurrence of other specific events. The structured securities are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s market value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element or event. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying Statement of Operations. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured security is sold or matures.
Event-Linked Bonds. The Fund may invest in “event-linked” bonds. Event-linked bonds, which are sometimes referred to as “catastrophe” bonds, are fixed income securities for which the return of principal and payment of interest is contingent on the non-occurrence of a specific trigger event, such as a hurricane, earthquake, or other occurrence that leads to physical or economic loss. If the trigger event occurs prior to maturity, the Fund may lose all or a portion of its principal in addition to interest otherwise due from the security. Event-linked bonds may expose the Fund to certain other risks, including issuer default, adverse regulatory or jurisdictional interpretations, liquidity risk and adverse tax consequences. The Fund records the net change in market value of event-linked bonds on the Statement of Operations as a change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on investments. The Fund records a realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations upon the sale or maturity of such securities.
Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.

 


 

     As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:
         
    When-Issued or Delayed  
    Delivery Basis Transactions  
 
Purchased securities
  $ 72,960,143  
Sold securities

The Fund may 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 (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.
     Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; counterparty credit risk. To assure its future payment of the purchase price, the Fund maintains internally designated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the payment obligation under the roll.
Securities Sold Short. The Fund may short sell when-issued securities for future settlement. The value of the open short position is recorded as a liability, and the Fund records an unrealized gain or loss for the change in value of the open short position. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when the short position is closed out.
Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default. As of December 31, 2008, securities with an aggregate market value of $3,122,761, representing 0.09% of the Fund’s net assets, were in default.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
     Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
     The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund’s investment in IMMF is included

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investments in OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC. The Fund is permitted to invest cash collateral received in connection with its securities lending activities. Pursuant to the Fund’s Securities Lending Procedures, the Fund may invest cash collateral in, among other investments, an affiliated money market fund. OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC (“LAF”) is a limited liability company whose investment objective is to seek current income and stability of principal. The Manager is also the investment adviser of LAF. LAF is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, LAF does comply with the investment restrictions applicable to registered money market funds set forth in Rule 2a-7 adopted under the Investment Company Act. The Fund’s investment in LAF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of LAF’s expenses, including its management fee of 0.08%.
Investments in Oppenheimer Master Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in entities sponsored and/or advised by the Manager or an affiliate. Certain of these entities in which the Fund invests are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC and Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC (the “Master Funds”). Each master fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one master fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that master fund.
     The investment objective of Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC is to seek as high a level of current income and preservation of capital as is consistent with investing primarily in loans and other debt securities. The investment objective of Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC is to seek a high level of current income principally derived from interest on debt securities. The Fund’s investments in the master funds are included in the Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain/(loss) on its investments in each master fund according to its allocated pro-rata share, based on its relative proportion of total outstanding master fund shares held, of the total net income earned and the net gain/(loss) realized on investments sold by the master funds. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of master funds’s expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in the master funds.
Investments With Off-Balance Sheet Market Risk. The Fund enters into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

 


 

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

2.   The Fund had $29,563,300 of post-October foreign currency losses which were deferred.
 
3.   The Fund had $66,312 of post-October passive foreign investment company losses which were deferred.
 
4.   The Fund had $586,197 of straddle losses which were deferred.
 
5.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
 
6.   During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund utilized $13,349,869 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
 
    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 net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
 
    Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2008. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3. Purchases and Sales of Securities
The aggregate cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of securities, other than short-term obligations and investments in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund, OFI Liquid Assets Fund, LLC and the Master Funds, for the year ended December 31, 2008, were as follows:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:
         
Fee Schedule        
 
Up to $200 million
    0.75 %

Over $1 billion
    0.50  
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 a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $20,020 to OFS for services to the Fund.
     Additionally, funds offered in variable annuity separate accounts are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per class, for class level assets of $10 million or more. Each class is subject to the minimum fee in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fee.
Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s)

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates Continued of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investments in IMMF and the Master Funds. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager waived $936,254 for management fees.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
     Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
     Risks to the Fund include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. 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 payments that the Fund has not yet received.
6. Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
     Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
     Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses.
     Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

 


 

     Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
7. Option Activity
The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options. 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. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.
     Securities designated to cover outstanding call or put options are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable. Options written are reported in a schedule following the Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
     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 that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.
Written option activity for the year ended December 31, 2008 was as following:
                                 
    Call Options     Put Options

8. Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into privately negotiated agreements with a counterparty to exchange or “swap” payments at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). The swap agreement will specify the “notional” amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. As derivative contracts, swaps typically do not have an associated cost at contract inception. At initiation, contract terms are typically set at market value such that the value of the swap is $0. If a counterparty specifies terms that would result in the contract having a value other than $0 at initiation, one counterparty will pay the other an upfront payment to equalize the contract. Subsequent changes in market value are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional value of the contract. Contract types may include credit default, interest rate, total return, and currency swaps.
     Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from pricing services, counterparties or brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The value of the contracts is separately disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is comprised of the change in the valuation of the swap combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement
 

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
8. Swap Contracts Continued
The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. Any payment received or paid to initiate a contract is recorded as a cost of the swap in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations until contract termination; upon contract termination, this amount is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Excluding amounts paid at contract initiation as described above, the Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
     Risks of entering into swap contracts include credit, market and liquidity risk. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty fails to make a payment when due or otherwise defaults under the terms of the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received. Market risk is the risk that the value of the contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may be unable to close the contract prior to its termination.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection on a debt security against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on the debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a single security or a basket of securities (the “reference asset”).
     The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of debt securities underlying the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.
     The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.
     If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the reference asset less the market value of the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between the value of the underlying reference asset and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.
     Risks of credit default swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk. Additional risks include but are not limited to: the cost of paying for credit protection if there are no credit events or the cost of selling protection when a credit event occurs (paying the notional amount to the protection buyer); and pricing transparency when assessing the value of a credit default swap.
     As of the period end, the Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to gain exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and/or indexes that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractively priced in the bond market. The Fund has also engaged in pairs trades by purchasing protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of an issuer, and simultaneously selling protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of a different issuer with the intent to realize gains from the pricing differences of the two issuers who are expected to have similar market risks. Pairs trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk while hedging or offsetting the effects of overall market movements. In addition, the Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same issuer but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.
Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.
     Risks of interest rate swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk. Additional risks include but are not limited to, interest rate risk. There is a risk, based on future movements of interest rates that the payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments it received.
Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.
     Risks of total return swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk.
Currency Swaps. A currency swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange different currencies equivalent to the notional value at contract inception and reverse the exchange of the same notional values of those currencies at contract termination. The contract may also include periodic exchanges of cash flows based on a specified index or interest rate.
     Risks of currency swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk. Additional risks of currency swaps include, but are not limited to, exchange rate risk. Due to the exchange of currency at contract termination, changes in currency exchange rates may result in the Fund paying an amount greater than the amount received. There is also a risk, based on movements of interest rates or indexes that periodic payments made by the Fund will be greater than the payments received.
Swaption Transactions. The Fund may enter into a swaption contract which grants the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap at a preset rate within a specified period of time. The purchaser pays a premium to the swaption writer who bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset rate on the underlying interest rate swap.
     Swaptions are marked to market daily using primarily quotations from counterparties and brokers. Written swap-tions are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Written swaptions are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the swaption, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When a swaption is exercised, the cost of the swap is adjusted by the amount of premium paid or received. Upon the expiration or closing of an unexercised swaption contract, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations for the amount of the premium paid or received.
     Swaption contracts written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparty, to perform. The Fund generally will incur a greater risk when it writes a swaption than when it purchases a swaption. When the Fund purchases a swaption it risks losing only the amount of the premium they have paid if the option expires unexercised. When the Fund writes a swaption it will become obligated, upon exercise of the option, according to the terms of the underlying agreement.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
9. Illiquid or Restricted Securities
As of December 31, 2008, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. 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. A restricted security may have a contractual restriction on its resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. The Fund will not invest more than 15% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid and restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional purchasers, may not be subject to that limitation. Securities that are illiquid or restricted are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments. Restricted securities are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments.
10. Securities Lending
The Fund lends portfolio securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. The loans are secured by collateral (either securities, letters of credit, or cash) in an amount not less than 100% of the market value of the loaned securities during the period of the loan. The market value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Fund on the next business day. If the borrower defaults on its obligation to return the securities loaned because of insolvency or other reasons, the Fund could experience delays and cost in recovering the securities loaned or in gaining access to the collateral. The Fund continues to receive the economic benefit of interest or dividends paid on the securities loaned in the form of a substitute payment received from the borrower and recognizes the gain or loss in the fair value of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan. The Fund has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand. As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had on loan securities valued at $318,788,944. Collateral of $325,265,870 was received for the loans, of which all was received in cash and subsequently invested in approved instruments.
11. Unfunded Purchase Commitments
Pursuant to the terms of certain indenture agreements, the Fund has unfunded purchase commitments of $21,735,999 at December 31, 2008. The Fund generally will maintain with its custodian, liquid investments having an aggregate value at least equal to the amount of unfunded purchase loan commitments. The following commitments are subject to funding based on the borrower’s discretion. The Fund is obligated to fund these commitments at the time of the request by the borrower. These commitments have been excluded from the Statement of Investments.

 


 

As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had unfunded purchase commitments as follows:
                 
    Commitment        
    Termination     Unfunded  
    Date     Amount  
 
Deutsche Bank AG, Opic Reforma I Credit Linked Nts.
    10/23/13     $ 9,735,999

Upon funding requests, the unfunded portion decreases and new structured securities will be created and held by the fund to maintain a consistent exposure level.
    0.50 %     9/20/10     $ 12,000,000     $ 1,718,957  
12. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.
13. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

 

 
 
 


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Value Fund/VA:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Value Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2008, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
     We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2008, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
     In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of December 31, 2008, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of December 31, 2008:
                 
    Investments in     Other Financial  
Valuation Description   Securities     Instruments*  
 
Level 1—Quoted Prices
  $ 4,963,779     $  
Level 2—Other Significant Observable Inputs
    158,558        
Level 3—Significant Unobservable Inputs
           
     
Total
  $ 5,122,337     $  
     
*   Other financial instruments include options written, currency contracts, futures, forwards and swap contracts. Currency contracts and forwards are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written and swaps are reported at their market value at measurement date.
See the accompanying Notes for further discussion of the methods used in determining value of the Fund’s investments, and a summary of changes to the valuation techniques, if any, during the reporting period.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Value Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks with low price-earnings ratios and better-than-anticipated earnings. Realization of current income is a secondary consideration. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
     The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
     The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
     Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
     Securities are valued using quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers. These securities are typically classified within Level 1 or 2; however, they may be designated as Level 3 if the dealer or portfolio pricing service values a security through an internal model with significant unobservable market data inputs.
     Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.
     Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
     Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.
 


 

     “Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. These securities are typically designated as Level 2.
     In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be adjusted for any discounts related to resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
     Fair valued securities may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
     There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
     Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
     The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. The Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investments With Off-Balance Sheet Market Risk. The Fund enters into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

 


 

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

  As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $1,303,597 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of December 31, 2008, details of the capital loss carryforward was as follows:

  As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had $749,879 of post-October losses available to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2017.
     
3.
  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
     
4.
  During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains 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 net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2008. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2008 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

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 a per account fee. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Fund paid $91 to OFS for services to the Fund.
     Additionally, funds offered in variable annuity separate accounts are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 per class, for class level assets of $10 million or more. Each class is subject to the minimum fee in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fee.

 


 

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the average annual net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsor(s) of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective January 1, 2007, the Manager voluntarily agreed to an expense waiver of any “Total expenses” over 1.25% of average annual net assets for Non-Service shares and 1.50% of average annual net assets for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2008, OFS waived $1,987 and $34,759 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively. The expense waiver is a voluntary undertaking and may be terminated by the Manager at any time.
     OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. During the year ended December 31, 2008, OFS waived $6 for Non-Service shares. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
     The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2008, the Manager waived $268 for IMMF management fees.
5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
     Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
     Risks to the Fund include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. 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 payments that the Fund has not yet received.
     As of December 31, 2008, the Fund had no outstanding forward contracts.
6. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

7. Change In Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm (Unaudited)
At a meeting held on August 20, 2008, the Board of Trustees of the Fund appointed KPMG LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm to the Fund for fiscal year 2009, replacing the firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP, effective at the conclusion of the fiscal 2008 audit. During the two most recent fiscal years the audit reports of Deloitte & Touche LLP contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Further, there were no disagreements between the Fund and Deloitte & Touche LLP on accounting principles, financial statement disclosure or audit scope, which if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche LLP would have caused it to make reference to the disagreements in connection with its reports.

 

  

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

Long-Term Ratings: Bonds and Preferred Stock Issuer Ratings

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

C: Bonds and preferred stock rated "C" are the lowest class of rated bonds and can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing.
 
Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating classification from "Aa" through "Caa." The modifier "1" indicates that the obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the modifier "2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates a ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Advanced refunded issues that are secured by certain assets are identified with a # symbol.

Prime Rating System (Short-Term Ratings – Taxable Debt)

These ratings are opinions of the ability of issuers to honor senior financial obligations and contracts. Such obligations generally have an original maturity not exceeding one year, unless explicitly noted.

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

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

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

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

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

Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings

Issue credit ratings are based in varying degrees, on the following considerations:

·     

Likelihood of payment-capacity and willingness of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on an obligation in accordance with the terms of the obligation;


·     

Nature of and provisions of the obligation; and

·     

Protection afforded by, and relative position of, the obligation in the event of bankruptcy, reorganization, or other arrangement under the laws of bankruptcy and other laws affecting creditors' rights.



The issue ratings definitions are expressed in terms of default risk. As such, they pertain to senior obligations of an entity. Junior obligations are typically rated lower than senior obligations, to reflect the lower priority in bankruptcy, as noted above.

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

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

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C

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

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

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

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

CC: An obligation rated "CC" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C: Subordinated debt or preferred stock obligations rated "C" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The "C" rating may be used to cover a situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or similar action taken, but payments on this obligation are being continued. A "C" also will be assigned to a preferred stock issue in arrears on dividends or sinking fund payments, but that is currently paying.
 
D: An obligation rated "D" are in payment default. The "D" rating category is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D" rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.
 

The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating categories.

c: The "c" subscript is used to provide additional information to investors that the bank may terminate its obligation to purchase tendered bonds if the long-term credit rating of the issuer is below an investment-grade level and/or the issuer's bonds are deemed taxable.

p: The letter "p" indicates that the rating is provisional. A provisional rating assumes the successful completion of the project financed by the debt being rated and indicates that payment of debt service requirements is largely or entirely dependent upon the successful, timely completion of the project. This rating, however, while addressing credit quality subsequent to completion of the project, makes no comment on the likelihood of or the risk of default upon failure of such completion. The investor should exercise his own judgment with respect to such likelihood and risk.

Continuance of the ratings is contingent upon Standard & Poor's receipt of an executed copy of the escrow agreement or closing documentation confirming investments and cash flows.

r: The "r" highlights derivative, hybrid, and certain other obligations that Standard & Poor's believes may experience high volatility or high variability in expected returns as a result of noncredit risks. Examples of such obligations are securities with principal or interest return indexed to equities, commodities, or currencies; certain swaps and options; and interest-only and principal-only mortgage securities. The absence of an 'r' symbol should not be taken as an indication that an obligation will exhibit no volatility or variability in total return.

N.R. Not rated.

 

Debt obligations of issuers outside the United States and its territories are rated on the same basis as domestic corporate and municipal issues. The ratings measure the creditworthiness of the obligor but do not take into account currency exchange and related uncertainties.

Bond Investment Quality Standards

Under present commercial bank regulations issued by the Comptroller of the Currency, bonds rated in the top four categories ("AAA," "AA," "A," "BBB," commonly known as investment-grade ratings) generally are regarded as eligible for bank investment. Also, the laws of various states governing legal investments impose certain rating or other standards for obligations eligible for investment by savings banks, trust companies, insurance companies, and fiduciaries in general
 

Short-Term Issue Credit Ratings

Short-term ratings are generally assigned to those obligations considered short-term in the relevant market. In the U.S., for example, that means obligations with an original maturity of no more than 365 days-including commercial paper.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Notes:
A Standard & Poor's note rating reflects the liquidity factors and market access risks unique to notes. Notes due in three years or less will likely receive a note rating. Notes maturing beyond three years will most likely receive a long-term debt rating. The following criteria will be used in making that assessment:

·     

Amortization schedule-the larger the final maturity relative to other maturities, the more likely it will
be treated as a note; and


·     

Source of payment-the more dependent the issue is on the market for its refinancing, the more likely
it will be treated as a note.



SP-1: Strong capacity to pay principal and interest. An issue with a very strong capacity to pay debt service is given a (+) designation.
 

SP-2: Satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest, with some vulnerability to adverse financial and economic changes over the term of the notes.
 

SP-3: Speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.
 

Fitch, Inc.

International credit ratings assess the capacity to meet foreign currency or local currency commitments. Both "foreign currency" and "local currency" ratings are internationally comparable assessments. The local currency rating measures the probability of payment within the relevant sovereign state's currency and jurisdiction and therefore, unlike the foreign currency rating, does not take account of the possibility of foreign exchange controls limiting transfer into foreign currency.
 

International Long-Term Credit Ratings

The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency ratings.

Investment Grade:

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

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

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

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

Speculative Grade:

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

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

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

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

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their obligations. Entities rated "DDD" have the highest prospect for resumption of performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization process. Entities rated "DD" and "D" are generally undergoing a formal reorganization or liquidation process; those rated "DD" are likely to satisfy a higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated "D" have a poor prospect for repaying all obligations.
 
Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote relative status within the major rating categories. Plus and minus signs are not added to the
"AAA" category or to categories below "CCC," nor to short-term ratings other than "F1" (see below).

International Short-Term Credit Ratings

The following ratings scale applies to foreign currency and local currency ratings. A short-term rating has a time horizon of less than 12 months for most obligations, or up to three years for U.S. public finance securities, and thus places greater emphasis on the liquidity necessary to meet financial commitments in a timely manner.

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.

Dominion Bond Rating Service Limited ("DBRS")

R-1: Short term debt rated "R-1 (high)" is of the highest credit quality, and indicates an entity which possesses unquestioned ability to repay current liabilities as they fall due. Entities rated in this category normally maintain strong liquidity positions, conservative debt levels and profitability which is both stable and above average. Companies achieving an "R-1 (high)" rating are normally leaders in structurally sound industry segments with proven track records, sustainable positive future results and no substantial qualifying negative factors. Given the extremely tough definition which DBRS has established for an "R-1 (high)", few entities are strong enough to achieve this rating. Short term debt rated "R-1 (middle)" is of superior credit quality and, in most cases, ratings in this category differ from "R-1 (high)" credits to only a small degree. Given the extremely tough definition which DBRS has for the "R-1 (high)" category (which few companies are able to achieve), entities rated "R-1 (middle)" are also considered strong credits which typically exemplify above average strength in key areas of consideration for debt protection. Short term debt rated "R-1 (low)" is of satisfactory credit quality. The overall strength and outlook for key liquidity, debt and profitability ratios is not normally as favorable as with higher rating categories, but these considerations are still respectable. Any qualifying negative factors which exist are considered manageable, and the entity is normally of sufficient size to have some influence in its industry.

R-2: Short term debt rated "R-2" is of adequate credit quality and within the three subset grades (high, middle, low), debt protection ranges from having reasonable ability for timely repayment to a level which is considered only just adequate. The liquidity and debt ratios of entities in the "R-2" classification are not as strong as those in the "R-1" category, and the past and future trend may suggest some risk of maintaining the strength of key ratios in these areas. Alternative sources of liquidity support are considered satisfactory; however, even the strongest liquidity support will not improve the commercial paper rating of the issuer. The size of the entity may restrict its flexibility, and its relative position in the industry is not typically as strong as the "R-1 credit". Profitability trends, past and future, may be less favorable, earnings not as stable, and there are often negative qualifying factors present which could also make the entity more vulnerable to adverse changes in financial and economic conditions.

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.
