Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA is a mutual fund that seeks capital appreciation. The Fund uses fundamental research and quantitative models to invest mainly in common stocks of companies that are within the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000® Index.
3. The first paragraph of the section titled "Principal Investment Strategies," on page 3, is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:
Principal Investment Strategies. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, including any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities of “small-cap” companies. A company's "market capitalization" is the value of its outstanding common stock. The Fund considers small-cap companies to be those having a market capitalization in the range of the Russell 2000® Index, a measure of small-cap issuers. The capitalization range of that index is subject to change at any time due to market activity or changes in the composition of the index. The range of the Russell 2000® Index generally widens over time and it is reconstituted annually to preserve its small-cap character. 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 moves outside of the Fund's capitalization definition.
