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. The Example also assumes that your investment has a 5% return each year and that the Fund's operating expenses remain the same. Although 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 | $ | 51 | $ | 187 | $ | 335 | $ | 765 |
Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund is a money market fund that invests in a variety of money market instruments to seek income consistent with stability of principal. 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. 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 a nationally recognized statistical rating service or, if a security is unrated, it must be determined by OppenheimerFunds, Inc., the Fund's Sub-Adviser, under the supervision of the Fund's Board, to be of comparable quality to rated securities in one of those two categories.
Principal Risks. 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 of Trustees 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 help 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. 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.
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. 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. 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.
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.
Fixed-Income Market Risks. Economic and other market developments can adversely affect fixed-income securities markets in the United States, Europe and elsewhere. At times, participants in debt securities markets may develop concerns about the ability of certain issuers of debt securities to make timely principal and interest payments, or they may develop concerns about the ability of financial institutions that make markets in certain debt securities to facilitate an orderly market. Those concerns can cause increased volatility in those debt securities or debt securities markets. Under some circumstances, as was the case during the latter half of 2008 and early 2009, those concerns could cause reduced liquidity in certain debt securities markets. A 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.
Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Although the risks of investing in foreign money market securities are significantly lower than the risks of certain other types of foreign securities, to the extent that the Fund invests in foreign securities, those investments may be 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 for the Fund to evaluate a foreign company's operations or financial condition. The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control regulations, foreign taxes, higher transaction and other costs, delays in the settlement of transactions, changes in economic or monetary policy in the United States or abroad, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, or other political and economic factors.
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.
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 income consistent with 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.
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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's
performance from year to year. Charges imposed by the insurance accounts that invest in the Fund are not included and the
returns would be lower if they were. The Fund's past investment performance is not necessarily an indication of how the Fund
will perform in the future. More recent performance information is available by calling the toll-free number on the back of
this prospectus and on the Fund's website at:

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).
Investment Adviser. OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (the "Manager") is the Fund's investment adviser. OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser") is its sub-adviser.
Portfolio Managers. Carol E. Wolf has been a portfolio manager and Vice President of the Fund since July 1998, and Christopher Proctor, CFA,
has been a portfolio manager of the Fund since May 2010.
Purchase and Sale of 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. 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. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides information about how to select the Fund as an investment option.
Taxes. 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 and capital gains distributions will be taxable to the participating insurance company, if at all. However, those payments may affect the tax basis of certain types of distributions from those accounts. Special tax rules apply to life insurance companies, variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts. For information on federal income taxation of a life insurance company with respect to its receipt of distributions from the Fund and federal income taxation of owners of variable annuity or variable life insurance contracts, see the accompanying prospectus for the applicable contract.
Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries. The Fund, the Sub-Adviser, or their related companies may make payments to financial intermediaries, including to insurance companies that offer shares of the Fund as an investment option. These payments for the sale of Fund shares and related services may create a conflict of interest by influencing the intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary's website for more information.
