(Oppenheimer OVAF Main Street Fund/VA)

Investment Objective. The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees (Oppenheimer OVAF Main Street Fund/VA)	Non-Service Shares	Service Shares
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) imposed on purchases (as % of offering price)	none	none
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as % of the lower of original offering price or redemption proceeds)	none	none

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Oppenheimer OVAF Main Street Fund/VA)	Non-Service Shares	Service Shares
Management Fees	0.66%	0.66%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees	none	0.25%
Total Other Expenses	0.12%	0.12%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.78%	1.03%

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Main Street Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	80	250	435	970
Service Shares	106	329	571	1,266

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 37% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies of different capitalization ranges. The Fund currently focuses on "larger capitalization" issuers, which are considered to be companies with market capitalizations equal to the companies in the Russell 1000 Index. The portfolio managers use fundamental research and quantitative models to select securities for the Fund's portfolio, which is comprised of both growth and value stocks. While the process may change over time or vary in particular cases, in general the selection process currently uses:

• a fundamental approach in analyzing issuers on factors such as a company's financial performance and prospects, industry position, and business model and management strength. Industry outlook, market trends and general economic conditions may also be considered.

• quantitative models to rank securities within each sector to identify potential buy and sell candidates for further fundamental analysis. A number of company-specific factors are analyzed in constructing the models, including valuation, fundamentals and momentum.

The portfolio is constructed and regularly monitored based upon several analytical tools, including quantitative investment models. The Fund aims to maintain a broadly diversified portfolio across major economic sectors by applying investment parameters for both sector and position size. The portfolio managers use the following sell criteria: the stock price is approaching its target, deterioration in the company's competitive position, poor execution by the company's management, or identification of more attractive alternative investment ideas.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Small- and Mid-Sized Companies. The stock prices of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may not have established markets, may have fewer customers and product lines, may have unseasoned management or less management depth and may have more limited access to financial resources. Smaller companies may not pay dividends or provide capital gains for some time, if at all.

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. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund that focuses on stocks. The Fund is not designed for investors needing current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Non-Service Shares performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. 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: https://www.oppenheimerfunds.com/fund/MainStreetFundVA

During the period shown, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 18.50% (2nd Qtr 09) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -22.18% (4th Qtr 08).

(Oppenheimer OVAF Global Strategic Income/VA)

Investment Objective. The Fund seeks total return.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Global Strategic Income/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	74	429	429	964
Service Shares	99	566	566	1,260

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 78% of the average value of its portfolio.

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

The Fund invests mainly in issuers in three market sectors: (1) foreign governments and companies, (2) U.S. government securities, and (3) lower-grade, high-yield securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds") of U.S. and foreign companies. 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 it offers the best investment opportunity. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest a substantial portion of its assets in a number of different countries, including the U.S. The Fund is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries.

The Fund's foreign investments may include debt securities issued by foreign governments or companies in both developed markets and 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 can invest in investment grade or lower-grade, high-yield debt securities. "Investment grade" debt 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. The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, in which case the Fund's Sub-Adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing their credit quality, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Sub-Adviser's credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Fund's debt investments typically include: U.S. and foreign government bonds and notes, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and other mortgage-related securities, domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations, "structured" notes, "zero coupon" and "stripped" securities, participation interests in loans, investments in loan pools and asset-backed securities. The Fund normally invests a substantial amount of its assets in lower-grade, high-yield debt securities, and can do so without limit.

The Fund may also use certain types of derivative instruments for investment purposes or for hedging, including: options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, certain mortgage-related securities, "structured"notes, and event-linked bonds.

The Fund actively manages foreign currency exposure to seek to reduce risk and enhance return. To do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange derivatives, including forwards and options that reference foreign currencies, including currencies of developing and emerging market countries.

The portfolio managers analyze the overall investment opportunities and risks among the three market sectors in which the Fund invests and seek to moderate the special risks of investing in lower-grade, high-yield debt instruments and foreign securities by building a broadly diversified portfolio. The Fund's diversification strategies are intended to help reduce share price volatility while seeking current income. The portfolio managers currently focus on 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 market sectors in which the Fund invests. These factors may vary in particular cases and may change over time.

The Fund may sell securities that the portfolio managers believe are no longer favorable based on these factors.

The Fund's holdings may at times differ significantly from the weightings of the indices comprising its reference index (the "Reference Index"). The Fund's Reference Index is a customized weighted index currently comprised of the following underlying broad-based security indices: 40% Citigroup Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index, 30% J.P. Morgan Domestic High Yield Index, and 30% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund is not managed to be invested in the same percentages as those indices comprising the Reference Index.

The Fund has established a Cayman Islands exempted company that is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund (the "Subsidiary"). The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity futures, financial futures, options and swap contracts) and exchange traded funds related to gold or other special minerals ("Gold ETFs"). The Subsidiary may also invest in certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral for its derivatives positions. Investments in the Subsidiary are intended to provide the Fund with exposure to commodities market returns within the limitations of the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. The Fund applies its investment restrictions and compliance policies and procedures, on a look-through basis, to the Subsidiary. The Fund's investment in the Subsidiary may vary based on the portfolio managers' use of different types of commodity-linked derivatives, fixed-income securities, Gold ETFs, and other investments. Since the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in the Subsidiary, which may hold certain of the investments described in this prospectus, the Fund may be considered to be investing indirectly in those investments through its Subsidiary. Therefore, references in this prospectus to investments by the Fund also may be deemed to include the Fund's indirect investments through the Subsidiary.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Debt Securities. Debt securities may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and event 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 repay principal, the Fund's income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, debt securities may be repaid 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 normally have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates. Event risk is the risk that an issuer could be subject to an event, such as a buyout or debt restructuring, that interferes with its ability to make timely interest and principal payments and cause the value of its debt securities to 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.

Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower-grade securities, whether rated or unrated, may be subject to wider market fluctuation, greater credit risk and greater risk of loss of income and principal than investment-grade securities. 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.

Special Risks of Sovereign Debt. Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse, or otherwise be unable, to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt. If a governmental entity defaults, it may ask for more time in which to pay or for further loans. There is no legal process for collecting sovereign debt that a government does not pay nor are there bankruptcy proceedings through which all or part of such sovereign debt may be collected. A restructuring or default of sovereign debt may also cause additional impacts to the financial markets, such as downgrades to credit ratings, a flight to quality debt instruments, disruptions in common trading markets or unions, reduced liquidity, increased volatility, and heightened financial sector, foreign securities and currency risk, among others.

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 evaluations regarding the sectors' relative performance may be incorrect and those sectors may all perform in a similar manner under certain market conditions.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Foreign Currency Risk. Fluctuations in foreign currency values will result in fluctuations 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.

The portfolio manager's selection of foreign currency denominated investments may not perform as expected. Currency derivative investments may be particularly volatile and subject to greater risks than other types of foreign-currency denominated investments.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, can increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful.

Main Risks of Commodity-Linked Investments. Commodity-linked investments are considered speculative and have substantial risks, including the risk of loss of a significant portion of their principal value. Prices of commodities and commodity-linked investments may fluctuate significantly over short periods due to a variety of factors, including for example agricultural, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may make commodity-linked investments more volatile than other types of investments.

Main Risks Of Investments In The Fund's Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is not subject to its investor protections (except as otherwise noted in this prospectus). As an investor in the Subsidiary, the Fund does not have all of the protections offered to investors by the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, the Subsidiary is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund and managed by the Manager. Therefore, the Fund's ownership and control of the Subsidiary make it unlikely that the Subsidiary would take actions contrary to the interests of the Fund or its shareholders.

Changes in the laws of the Cayman Islands (where the Subsidiary is organized) could prevent the Subsidiary from operating as described in this prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. For example, the Cayman Islands currently does not impose certain taxes on exempted companies like the Subsidiary, including income and capital gains tax, among others. If Cayman Islands laws were changed to require such entities to pay Cayman Islands taxes, the investment returns of the Fund would likely decrease.

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 other 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 in a variety of domestic and foreign debt securities, including government 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 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.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Non-Service Shares performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of broad measures of market performance and those of the Reference Index, which has characteristics of those markets in which the Fund can invest. 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: https://www.oppenheimerfunds.com/fund/GlobalStrategicIncomeFundVA

(Oppenheimer OVAF Capital Appreciation Fund/VA)

Investment Objective. The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Capital Appreciation Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	82	259	450	1,005
Service Shares	108	338	587	1,300

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 28% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of "growth companies." Growth companies are companies whose earnings and stock prices are expected to increase at a faster rate than the overall market. These may be newer companies or established companies of any capitalization range that the portfolio managers believe may appreciate in value over the long term. Currently, the Fund primarily focuses on established companies that are similar in size to companies in the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Fund primarily invests in securities of U.S. issuers but may also invest in foreign securities. The portfolio managers look for growth companies with stock prices that they believe 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 managers focus on a number of factors that may vary in particular cases and over time. Currently, the portfolio managers look for:

• companies in business areas that have above-average growth potential,

• companies with growth rates that the portfolio managers believe are sustainable over time,

• stocks with reasonable valuations relative to their growth potential.

The Fund may sell the stocks of companies that the portfolio managers believe no longer meet the above criteria, but is not required to do so.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main 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.

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. 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.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Non-Service Shares performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. 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: https://www.oppenheimerfunds.com/fund/CapitalAppreciationFundVA

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees (Oppenheimer OVAF Equity Income Fund/VA)	Non-Service Shares	Service Shares
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) imposed on purchases (as % of offering price)	none	none
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as % of the lower of original offering price or redemption proceeds)	none	none

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Oppenheimer OVAF Equity Income Fund/VA)		Non-Service Shares	Service Shares
Management Fees		0.75%	0.75%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees		none	0.25%

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Equity Income Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	82	462	867	2,000
Service Shares	107	524	968	2,202

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 87% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies that the portfolio manager believes are undervalued. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities. The Fund may invest in equity securities other than common stocks, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stocks. The Fund may invest in equity securities issued by companies of different capitalization ranges, but will typically focus on larger capitalization stocks. The Fund may invest in equity securities both for current income from dividends as well as for growth opportunities.

The Fund can buy securities of companies in developed and emerging market countries. The Fund has no limits on the amounts it can invest in foreign securities. However, currently it does not intend to invest more than 25% of its net assets in securities of issuers in any single foreign country or more than 5% of its net assets in companies or government issuers in emerging market countries.

In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio manager mainly relies on a value-oriented investing style. 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 Fund also looks for securities that offer higher than average dividends. The portfolio manager generally uses a fundamental approach to analyzing issuers, for example, by looking at price/earnings ratios and current balance sheet information. Currently, the portfolio manager focuses on securities that have high current income and are believed to have substantial earnings possibilities, have low price/earnings ratios relative to other securities, and that have a low price relative to the underlying value of the issuer's assets, earnings, cash flow or other factors. These criteria may vary in particular cases and may change over time. The Fund may sell securities that the portfolio manager believes no longer meet these criteria, but is not required to do so.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Other Equity Securities. Most convertible securities are subject to the risks and price fluctuations of the underlying stock. They may be subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of the issuer's creditworthiness. Some convertible preferred stocks have a conversion or call feature that allows the issuer to redeem the stock before the conversion date, which could diminish the potential for capital appreciation on the investment. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. If interest rates rise, the value of preferred stock having a fixed dividend rate tends to fall. Preferred stock generally rank behind debt securities in claims for dividends and assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The price of a warrant does not necessarily move parallel to the price of the underlying security and is generally more volatile than that of the underlying security. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a shorter duration. The market for rights or warrants may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer.

Main Risks of Small- and Mid-Sized Companies. The stock prices of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may not have established markets, may have fewer customers and product lines, may have unseasoned management or less management depth and may have more limited access to financial resources. Smaller companies may not pay dividends or provide capital gains for some time, if at all.

Main Risks of Value Investing. Value investing entails the risk that if the market does not recognize that the Fund's securities are undervalued, the prices of those securities might not appreciate as anticipated. A value approach could also result in fewer investments that increase rapidly during times of market gains and could cause the Fund to underperform funds that use a growth or non-value approach to investing. Value investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and when value investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, the securities of "value" companies may underperform the securities of "growth" companies.

Dividend Risk. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the stocks held by the Fund will declare dividends in the future or that, if dividends are declared, they will remain at their current levels or increase over time. High-dividend stocks may not experience high earnings growth or capital appreciation. The Fund's performance during a broad market advance could suffer because dividend paying stocks may not experience the same capital appreciation as non-dividend paying stocks.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

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 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 Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. The Fund's use of "fair value pricing" to adjust certain market prices of foreign securities may help deter those activities.

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. 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 equity securities. Since the Fund's income level will fluctuate, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Non-Service Shares performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance.

Investment Objective. The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Global Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	78	244	424	946
Service Shares	104	323	561	1,242
Class 3 Shares	78	244	424	946
Class 4 Shares	104	323	561	1,242

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund 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 developing 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 market capitalization range, but primarily invests in mid- and large-cap companies.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in at least three different 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 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, product development, and industry position. The portfolio manager also evaluates factors affecting particular industries, market trends and general economic conditions.

The portfolio manager currently focuses on growth-oriented companies, companies that may benefit from global growth trends at attractive valuations, companies with strong competitive positions and high demand for their products or services, and cyclical opportunities in the business cycle and sectors or industries that may benefit from those opportunities. These criteria may vary.

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, but does not require a decision to do so.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main 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.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Mid-Sized Companies. Mid-sized companies generally involve greater risk of loss than larger companies. The stock prices of mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be less liquid and more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may have less established markets, fewer customers and product lines, less management depth and more limited access to financial resources. Mid-sized companies may not pay dividends for some time, if at all.

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.

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 that are typical for a fund that focuses on stocks and foreign securities. 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 current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Non-Service Shares performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. Charges imposed by the insurance accounts that invest in the Fund are not included and the returns would be lower if they were.

(Oppenheimer OVAF Capital Income Fund/VA)

Investment Objective. The Fund seeks total return.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Capital Income Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	69	267	482	1,102
Service Shares	95	350	624	1,407

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 110% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund invests in both equity and debt securities of domestic and foreign issuers in different capitalization ranges and in developed or developing countries. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in equity and debt securities that are expected to generate income. The percentages of equity and debt securities the Fund holds may vary from time to time. There is no limit on the Fund's investments in foreign securities.

Equity Securities. In selecting equity securities, the portfolio managers use both fundamental research and quantitative models to identify investment opportunities. While the process may change over time or vary in particular cases, in general the selection process currently:

• aims to maintain broad diversification across all major economic sectors;

• uses quantitative models, including sector specific factors, to rank securities within each economic sector;

• uses a fundamental approach to analyze issuers based on factors such as a company's financial performance, competitive strength, industry position, business practices and management; and

• considers market trends, current industry outlooks and general economic conditions.

Debt Securities. The portfolio managers look for high current yields and typically search for corporate and government debt securities that offer: attractive relative value, more income than U.S. treasury obligations, a balance of risk and return, high income potential and portfolio diversification.

The Fund's debt securities may be rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or may be unrated. The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets below investment grade securities, also referred to as "junk bonds," but cannot invest more than 10% of its assets in below investment grade non-convertible securities. "Investment grade" securities are rated in one of the top four rating categories.

Derivative Securities. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to seek income or to try to manage investment risks, including: options, futures, swaps, "structured" notes, mortgage-related securities and equity-linked debt securities.

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

The Fund's holdings may at times differ significantly from the weightings of the indices comprising its reference index (the "Reference Index"). The Fund's Reference Index is a customized weighted index currently comprised of the following underlying broad-based security indices: 65% of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 35% of the Russell 3000 Index. The Fund is not managed to be invested in the same percentages as those indices comprising the Reference Index.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant 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 individual 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 against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Main Risks of Debt Securities. Debt securities may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and event 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 repay principal, the Fund's income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, debt securities may be repaid 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 normally have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates. Event risk is the risk that an issuer could be subject to an event, such as a buyout or debt restructuring, that interferes with its ability to make timely interest and principal payments and cause the value of its debt securities to 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.

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.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, can increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful.

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. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund that has substantial investments in equity securities. Although the Fund seeks total return, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Non-Service Shares performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of broad measures of market performance and those of the Reference Index, which has characteristics of those markets in which the Fund can invest. 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.

The Manager has also contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund's investments in funds managed by the Manager or its affiliates. Each of these fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of this prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

Investment Objective. The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Capital Appreciation Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	82	259	450	1,005
Service Shares	108	338	587	1,300

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 28% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of "growth companies." Growth companies are companies whose earnings and stock prices are expected to increase at a faster rate than the overall market. These may be newer companies or established companies of any capitalization range that the portfolio managers believe may appreciate in value over the long term. Currently, the Fund primarily focuses on established companies that are similar in size to companies in the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Fund primarily invests in securities of U.S. issuers but may also invest in foreign securities. The portfolio managers look for growth companies with stock prices that they believe 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 managers focus on a number of factors that may vary in particular cases and over time. Currently, the portfolio managers look for:

• companies in business areas that have above-average growth potential,

• companies with growth rates that the portfolio managers believe are sustainable over time,

• stocks with reasonable valuations relative to their growth potential.

The Fund may sell the stocks of companies that the portfolio managers believe no longer meet the above criteria, but is not required to do so.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main 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.

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. 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.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Non-Service Shares performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. 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: https://www.oppenheimerfunds.com/fund/CapitalAppreciationFundVA

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Capital Income Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	69	267	482	1,102
Service Shares	95	350	624	1,407

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 110% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund invests in both equity and debt securities of domestic and foreign issuers in different capitalization ranges and in developed or developing countries. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in equity and debt securities that are expected to generate income. The percentages of equity and debt securities the Fund holds may vary from time to time. There is no limit on the Fund's investments in foreign securities.

Equity Securities. In selecting equity securities, the portfolio managers use both fundamental research and quantitative models to identify investment opportunities. While the process may change over time or vary in particular cases, in general the selection process currently:

• aims to maintain broad diversification across all major economic sectors;

• uses quantitative models, including sector specific factors, to rank securities within each economic sector;

• uses a fundamental approach to analyze issuers based on factors such as a company's financial performance, competitive strength, industry position, business practices and management; and

• considers market trends, current industry outlooks and general economic conditions.

Debt Securities. The portfolio managers look for high current yields and typically search for corporate and government debt securities that offer: attractive relative value, more income than U.S. treasury obligations, a balance of risk and return, high income potential and portfolio diversification.

The Fund's debt securities may be rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or may be unrated. The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets below investment grade securities, also referred to as "junk bonds," but cannot invest more than 10% of its assets in below investment grade non-convertible securities. "Investment grade" securities are rated in one of the top four rating categories.

Derivative Securities. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to seek income or to try to manage investment risks, including: options, futures, swaps, "structured" notes, mortgage-related securities and equity-linked debt securities.

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

The Fund's holdings may at times differ significantly from the weightings of the indices comprising its reference index (the "Reference Index"). The Fund's Reference Index is a customized weighted index currently comprised of the following underlying broad-based security indices: 65% of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 35% of the Russell 3000 Index. The Fund is not managed to be invested in the same percentages as those indices comprising the Reference Index.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant 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 individual 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 against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Main Risks of Debt Securities. Debt securities may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and event 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 repay principal, the Fund's income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, debt securities may be repaid 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 normally have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates. Event risk is the risk that an issuer could be subject to an event, such as a buyout or debt restructuring, that interferes with its ability to make timely interest and principal payments and cause the value of its debt securities to 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.

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.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, can increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful.

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Core Bond Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	79	251	438	980
Service Shares	105	331	575	1,276

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 140% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal 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 (generally referred to as "bonds"). A debt security is a security representing money borrowed by the issuer that must be repaid. The terms of a debt security specify the amount of principal, the interest rate or discount, and the time or times at which payments are due. Debt securities can include:

• Domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations;

• Domestic and foreign government debt obligations, including U.S. government securities;

• Mortgage-related securities;

• Asset-backed securities; and

• Other debt obligations.

The portfolio managers' overall strategy is to build a diversified portfolio of corporate and government bonds. The Fund's investments in U.S. government securities may include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or by its agencies or federally-chartered entities referred to as "instrumentalities." There is no required allocation of the Fund's assets among the classes of securities, but the Fund focuses mainly on U.S. government securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities. When market conditions change, the portfolio managers might change the Fund's relative asset allocation.

The Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in lower-grade, high-yield debt securities that are below investment-grade (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). "Investment-grade" debt securities are rated in one of the top four rating categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody's or Standard & Poor's. The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, in which case the Fund's sub-adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing their credit quality, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Sub-Adviser's credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

The Fund has no limitations on the range of maturities of the debt securities in which it can invest and may hold securities with short-, medium- or long-term maturities. The maturity of a security differs from its effective duration, which attempts to measure the expected volatility of a security's price to interest rate changes. 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 decrease about 3%. To try to decrease volatility, the Fund seeks to maintain a weighted average effective portfolio duration of three to six years, measured on a dollar-weighted basis using the effective duration of the securities included in its portfolio and the amount invested in each of those securities. However, the duration of the portfolio might not meet that target due to market events or interest rate changes that cause debt securities to be repaid more rapidly or more slowly than expected.

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

The Fund may also use derivatives to seek increased returns or to try to manage investment risks. Futures, swaps and "structured" notes are examples of some of the types of derivatives the Fund can use.

In selecting investments for the Fund, 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. The Fund mainly seeks income earnings on the Fund's investments plus capital appreciation that may arise from decreases in interest rates, from improving credit fundamentals for a particular sector or security or from other investment techniques.

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

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Debt Securities. Debt securities may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and event 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 repay principal, the Fund's income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, debt securities may be repaid 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 normally have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates. Event risk is the risk that an issuer could be subject to an event, such as a buyout or debt restructuring, that interferes with its ability to make timely interest and principal payments and cause the value of its debt securities to fall.

Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower-grade securities, whether rated or unrated, may be subject to wider market fluctuation, greater credit risk and greater risk of loss of income and principal than investment-grade securities. 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. 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.

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

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, can increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful.

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 other 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 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. 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.

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.

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	82	267	468	1,049
Service Shares	108	347	605	1,343

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 66% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies that the portfolio manager expects to have above-average growth rates. The Fund seeks to invest in newer companies or in more established companies that are in the early growth phase of their business cycle, which is typically marked by above-average growth rates. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of "mid-cap" issuers. The Fund defines mid-cap issuers as those issuers that are within the range of market capitalizations of the Russell Midcap® Growth Index. This range is subject to change at any time due to market activity or changes in the composition of that index. The range of the Russell Midcap Growth Index is reconstituted annually to preserve its capitalization characteristics. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in companies in other market capitalization ranges. 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 issuer's capitalization moves outside of the Fund's definition of mid-cap issuers.

The Fund invests primarily in U.S. 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. In selecting investments for the Fund, the 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, product development, and its industry position.

The portfolio manager currently focuses on high-growth companies that are characterized by industry leadership, market share growth, high caliber management teams, sustainable competitive advantages, and strong growth themes or new innovative products or services. The portfolio manager monitors individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security, but does not require a decision to do so. The factors considered by the portfolio manager may vary in particular cases and may change over time.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Mid-Sized Companies. Mid-sized companies generally involve greater risk of loss than larger companies. The stock prices of mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be less liquid and more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may have less established markets, fewer customers and product lines, less management depth and more limited access to financial resources. Mid-sized companies may not pay dividends for some time, if at all.

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.

Main 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.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

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 an aggressive growth fund emphasizing mid-cap stock investments. The Fund does not seek current income and 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.

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.

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Equity Income Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	82	462	867	2,000
Service Shares	107	524	968	2,202

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 87% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies that the portfolio manager believes are undervalued. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities. The Fund may invest in equity securities other than common stocks, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stocks. The Fund may invest in equity securities issued by companies of different capitalization ranges, but will typically focus on larger capitalization stocks. The Fund may invest in equity securities both for current income from dividends as well as for growth opportunities.

The Fund can buy securities of companies in developed and emerging market countries. The Fund has no limits on the amounts it can invest in foreign securities. However, currently it does not intend to invest more than 25% of its net assets in securities of issuers in any single foreign country or more than 5% of its net assets in companies or government issuers in emerging market countries.

In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio manager mainly relies on a value-oriented investing style. 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 Fund also looks for securities that offer higher than average dividends. The portfolio manager generally uses a fundamental approach to analyzing issuers, for example, by looking at price/earnings ratios and current balance sheet information. Currently, the portfolio manager focuses on securities that have high current income and are believed to have substantial earnings possibilities, have low price/earnings ratios relative to other securities, and that have a low price relative to the underlying value of the issuer's assets, earnings, cash flow or other factors. These criteria may vary in particular cases and may change over time. The Fund may sell securities that the portfolio manager believes no longer meet these criteria, but is not required to do so.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Other Equity Securities. Most convertible securities are subject to the risks and price fluctuations of the underlying stock. They may be subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of the issuer's creditworthiness. Some convertible preferred stocks have a conversion or call feature that allows the issuer to redeem the stock before the conversion date, which could diminish the potential for capital appreciation on the investment. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. If interest rates rise, the value of preferred stock having a fixed dividend rate tends to fall. Preferred stock generally rank behind debt securities in claims for dividends and assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The price of a warrant does not necessarily move parallel to the price of the underlying security and is generally more volatile than that of the underlying security. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a shorter duration. The market for rights or warrants may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer.

Main Risks of Small- and Mid-Sized Companies. The stock prices of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may not have established markets, may have fewer customers and product lines, may have unseasoned management or less management depth and may have more limited access to financial resources. Smaller companies may not pay dividends or provide capital gains for some time, if at all.

Main Risks of Value Investing. Value investing entails the risk that if the market does not recognize that the Fund's securities are undervalued, the prices of those securities might not appreciate as anticipated. A value approach could also result in fewer investments that increase rapidly during times of market gains and could cause the Fund to underperform funds that use a growth or non-value approach to investing. Value investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and when value investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, the securities of "value" companies may underperform the securities of "growth" companies.

Dividend Risk. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the stocks held by the Fund will declare dividends in the future or that, if dividends are declared, they will remain at their current levels or increase over time. High-dividend stocks may not experience high earnings growth or capital appreciation. The Fund's performance during a broad market advance could suffer because dividend paying stocks may not experience the same capital appreciation as non-dividend paying stocks.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

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 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 Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. The Fund's use of "fair value pricing" to adjust certain market prices of foreign securities may help deter those activities.

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. 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 equity securities. Since the Fund's income level will fluctuate, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Non-Service Shares performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. 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: https://www.oppenheimerfunds.com/fund/EquityIncomeFundVA

During the period shown, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 26.91% (2nd Qtr 09) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -24.60% (4th Qtr 08).

Investment Objective. The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees (Oppenheimer OVAF Global Fund/VA)	Non-Service Shares	Service Shares	Class 3 Shares	Class 4 Shares
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) imposed on purchases (as % of offering price)	none	none	none	none
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as % of the lower of original offering price or redemption proceeds)	none	none	none	none
Redemption Fee (as a percentage of Amount Redeemed)	none	none	1.00%	1.00%

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Oppenheimer OVAF Global Fund/VA)	Non-Service Shares	Service Shares	Class 3 Shares	Class 4 Shares
Management Fees	0.63%	0.63%	0.63%	0.63%

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Global Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	78	244	424	946
Service Shares	104	323	561	1,242
Class 3 Shares	78	244	424	946
Class 4 Shares	104	323	561	1,242

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund 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 developing 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 market capitalization range, but primarily invests in mid- and large-cap companies.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in at least three different 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 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, product development, and industry position. The portfolio manager also evaluates factors affecting particular industries, market trends and general economic conditions.

The portfolio manager currently focuses on growth-oriented companies, companies that may benefit from global growth trends at attractive valuations, companies with strong competitive positions and high demand for their products or services, and cyclical opportunities in the business cycle and sectors or industries that may benefit from those opportunities. These criteria may vary.

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, but does not require a decision to do so.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main 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.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Mid-Sized Companies. Mid-sized companies generally involve greater risk of loss than larger companies. The stock prices of mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be less liquid and more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may have less established markets, fewer customers and product lines, less management depth and more limited access to financial resources. Mid-sized companies may not pay dividends for some time, if at all.

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.

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 that are typical for a fund that focuses on stocks and foreign securities. 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 current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Non-Service Shares performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance.

Investment Objective. The Fund seeks total return.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Global Strategic Income/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	74	429	429	964
Service Shares	99	566	566	1,260

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 78% of the average value of its portfolio.

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

The Fund invests mainly in issuers in three market sectors: (1) foreign governments and companies, (2) U.S. government securities, and (3) lower-grade, high-yield securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds") of U.S. and foreign companies. 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 it offers the best investment opportunity. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest a substantial portion of its assets in a number of different countries, including the U.S. The Fund is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries.

The Fund's foreign investments may include debt securities issued by foreign governments or companies in both developed markets and 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 can invest in investment grade or lower-grade, high-yield debt securities. "Investment grade" debt 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. The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, in which case the Fund's Sub-Adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing their credit quality, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Sub-Adviser's credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Fund's debt investments typically include: U.S. and foreign government bonds and notes, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and other mortgage-related securities, domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations, "structured" notes, "zero coupon" and "stripped" securities, participation interests in loans, investments in loan pools and asset-backed securities. The Fund normally invests a substantial amount of its assets in lower-grade, high-yield debt securities, and can do so without limit.

The Fund may also use certain types of derivative instruments for investment purposes or for hedging, including: options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, certain mortgage-related securities, "structured"notes, and event-linked bonds.

The Fund actively manages foreign currency exposure to seek to reduce risk and enhance return. To do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange derivatives, including forwards and options that reference foreign currencies, including currencies of developing and emerging market countries.

The portfolio managers analyze the overall investment opportunities and risks among the three market sectors in which the Fund invests and seek to moderate the special risks of investing in lower-grade, high-yield debt instruments and foreign securities by building a broadly diversified portfolio. The Fund's diversification strategies are intended to help reduce share price volatility while seeking current income. The portfolio managers currently focus on 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 market sectors in which the Fund invests. These factors may vary in particular cases and may change over time.

The Fund may sell securities that the portfolio managers believe are no longer favorable based on these factors.

The Fund's holdings may at times differ significantly from the weightings of the indices comprising its reference index (the "Reference Index"). The Fund's Reference Index is a customized weighted index currently comprised of the following underlying broad-based security indices: 40% Citigroup Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index, 30% J.P. Morgan Domestic High Yield Index, and 30% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund is not managed to be invested in the same percentages as those indices comprising the Reference Index.

The Fund has established a Cayman Islands exempted company that is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund (the "Subsidiary"). The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity futures, financial futures, options and swap contracts) and exchange traded funds related to gold or other special minerals ("Gold ETFs"). The Subsidiary may also invest in certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral for its derivatives positions. Investments in the Subsidiary are intended to provide the Fund with exposure to commodities market returns within the limitations of the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. The Fund applies its investment restrictions and compliance policies and procedures, on a look-through basis, to the Subsidiary. The Fund's investment in the Subsidiary may vary based on the portfolio managers' use of different types of commodity-linked derivatives, fixed-income securities, Gold ETFs, and other investments. Since the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in the Subsidiary, which may hold certain of the investments described in this prospectus, the Fund may be considered to be investing indirectly in those investments through its Subsidiary. Therefore, references in this prospectus to investments by the Fund also may be deemed to include the Fund's indirect investments through the Subsidiary.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Debt Securities. Debt securities may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and event 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 repay principal, the Fund's income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, debt securities may be repaid 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 normally have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates. Event risk is the risk that an issuer could be subject to an event, such as a buyout or debt restructuring, that interferes with its ability to make timely interest and principal payments and cause the value of its debt securities to 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.

Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower-grade securities, whether rated or unrated, may be subject to wider market fluctuation, greater credit risk and greater risk of loss of income and principal than investment-grade securities. 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.

Special Risks of Sovereign Debt. Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse, or otherwise be unable, to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt. If a governmental entity defaults, it may ask for more time in which to pay or for further loans. There is no legal process for collecting sovereign debt that a government does not pay nor are there bankruptcy proceedings through which all or part of such sovereign debt may be collected. A restructuring or default of sovereign debt may also cause additional impacts to the financial markets, such as downgrades to credit ratings, a flight to quality debt instruments, disruptions in common trading markets or unions, reduced liquidity, increased volatility, and heightened financial sector, foreign securities and currency risk, among others.

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 evaluations regarding the sectors' relative performance may be incorrect and those sectors may all perform in a similar manner under certain market conditions.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Foreign Currency Risk. Fluctuations in foreign currency values will result in fluctuations 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.

The portfolio manager's selection of foreign currency denominated investments may not perform as expected. Currency derivative investments may be particularly volatile and subject to greater risks than other types of foreign-currency denominated investments.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, can increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful.

Main Risks of Commodity-Linked Investments. Commodity-linked investments are considered speculative and have substantial risks, including the risk of loss of a significant portion of their principal value. Prices of commodities and commodity-linked investments may fluctuate significantly over short periods due to a variety of factors, including for example agricultural, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may make commodity-linked investments more volatile than other types of investments.

Main Risks Of Investments In The Fund's Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is not subject to its investor protections (except as otherwise noted in this prospectus). As an investor in the Subsidiary, the Fund does not have all of the protections offered to investors by the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, the Subsidiary is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund and managed by the Manager. Therefore, the Fund's ownership and control of the Subsidiary make it unlikely that the Subsidiary would take actions contrary to the interests of the Fund or its shareholders.

Changes in the laws of the Cayman Islands (where the Subsidiary is organized) could prevent the Subsidiary from operating as described in this prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. For example, the Cayman Islands currently does not impose certain taxes on exempted companies like the Subsidiary, including income and capital gains tax, among others. If Cayman Islands laws were changed to require such entities to pay Cayman Islands taxes, the investment returns of the Fund would likely decrease.

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 other 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 in a variety of domestic and foreign debt securities, including government 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 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.

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.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees (Oppenheimer OVAF Main Street Fund/VA)	Non-Service Shares	Service Shares
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) imposed on purchases (as % of offering price)	none	none
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as % of the lower of original offering price or redemption proceeds)	none	none

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Oppenheimer OVAF Main Street Fund/VA)	Non-Service Shares	Service Shares
Management Fees	0.66%	0.66%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees	none	0.25%
Total Other Expenses	0.12%	0.12%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses	0.78%	1.03%

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Main Street Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	80	250	435	970
Service Shares	106	329	571	1,266

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 37% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies of different capitalization ranges. The Fund currently focuses on "larger capitalization" issuers, which are considered to be companies with market capitalizations equal to the companies in the Russell 1000 Index. The portfolio managers use fundamental research and quantitative models to select securities for the Fund's portfolio, which is comprised of both growth and value stocks. While the process may change over time or vary in particular cases, in general the selection process currently uses:

• a fundamental approach in analyzing issuers on factors such as a company's financial performance and prospects, industry position, and business model and management strength. Industry outlook, market trends and general economic conditions may also be considered.

• quantitative models to rank securities within each sector to identify potential buy and sell candidates for further fundamental analysis. A number of company-specific factors are analyzed in constructing the models, including valuation, fundamentals and momentum.

The portfolio is constructed and regularly monitored based upon several analytical tools, including quantitative investment models. The Fund aims to maintain a broadly diversified portfolio across major economic sectors by applying investment parameters for both sector and position size. The portfolio managers use the following sell criteria: the stock price is approaching its target, deterioration in the company's competitive position, poor execution by the company's management, or identification of more attractive alternative investment ideas.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Small- and Mid-Sized Companies. The stock prices of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may not have established markets, may have fewer customers and product lines, may have unseasoned management or less management depth and may have more limited access to financial resources. Smaller companies may not pay dividends or provide capital gains for some time, if at all.

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. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund that focuses on stocks. The Fund is not designed for investors needing current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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.

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:

Non-Service Shares	82	263	459	1,027
Service Shares	108	342	596	1,321

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 92% of the average value of its portfolio.

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 2500TM Index. 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 2500TM Index generally widens over time and it is reconstituted annually to preserve its market cap characteristics. 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.

Although the Fund mainly invests in U.S. companies, it can invest in securities issued by companies or governments in any country. The Fund primarily invests in common stock but may also invest in other types of securities that are consistent with its investment objective.

The portfolio managers use both fundamental research and quantitative models to identify investment opportunities. While the process may change over time or vary in particular cases, in general the selection process currently:

• aims to maintain broad diversification across all major economic sectors;

• uses quantitative models, including sector-specific factors, to rank securities within each economic sector;

• uses a fundamental approach to analyze issuers based on factors such as a company's financial performance, competitive strength, industry position, business practices and management; and

• considers market trends, current industry outlooks and general economic conditions.

In constructing the portfolio, the Fund seeks to limit exposure to so-called "top-down" or "macro" risks, such as overall stock market movements, economic cycles, and interest rate or currency fluctuations. Instead, the portfolio managers seek to add value by selecting individual securities with superior company-specific fundamental attributes or relative valuations that they expect to outperform their industry and sector peers. This is commonly referred to as a "bottom-up" approach to portfolio construction.

The portfolio managers consider stock rankings, benchmark weightings and capitalization outlooks in determining security weightings for individual issuers.

The portfolio managers might sell a security if the price is approaching their price target, if the company's competitive position has deteriorated or the company's management has performed poorly, or if they have identified more attractive investment prospects.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Small-Cap Companies. Small-cap companies may be either established or newer companies, including "unseasoned" companies that have typically 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-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 small-cap 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-sized company, if it realizes any gain at all.

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 smaller 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.

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. Those investors should be willing to assume the greater risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund focusing on long-term capital appreciation of stocks of small sized companies. The Fund 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.

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.

Investment Objective. The Fund seeks total return.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees (Oppenheimer OVAF Core Bond Fund/VA)	Non-Service Shares	Service Shares
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) imposed on purchases (as % of offering price)	none	none
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as % of the lower of original offering price or redemption proceeds)	none	none

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Oppenheimer OVAF Core Bond Fund/VA)		Non-Service Shares	Service Shares
Management Fees		0.60%	0.60%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees		none	0.25%

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Core Bond Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	79	251	438	980
Service Shares	105	331	575	1,276

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 140% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal 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 (generally referred to as "bonds"). A debt security is a security representing money borrowed by the issuer that must be repaid. The terms of a debt security specify the amount of principal, the interest rate or discount, and the time or times at which payments are due. Debt securities can include:

• Domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations;

• Domestic and foreign government debt obligations, including U.S. government securities;

• Mortgage-related securities;

• Asset-backed securities; and

• Other debt obligations.

The portfolio managers' overall strategy is to build a diversified portfolio of corporate and government bonds. The Fund's investments in U.S. government securities may include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or by its agencies or federally-chartered entities referred to as "instrumentalities." There is no required allocation of the Fund's assets among the classes of securities, but the Fund focuses mainly on U.S. government securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities. When market conditions change, the portfolio managers might change the Fund's relative asset allocation.

The Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in lower-grade, high-yield debt securities that are below investment-grade (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). "Investment-grade" debt securities are rated in one of the top four rating categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody's or Standard & Poor's. The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, in which case the Fund's sub-adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing their credit quality, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Sub-Adviser's credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

The Fund has no limitations on the range of maturities of the debt securities in which it can invest and may hold securities with short-, medium- or long-term maturities. The maturity of a security differs from its effective duration, which attempts to measure the expected volatility of a security's price to interest rate changes. 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 decrease about 3%. To try to decrease volatility, the Fund seeks to maintain a weighted average effective portfolio duration of three to six years, measured on a dollar-weighted basis using the effective duration of the securities included in its portfolio and the amount invested in each of those securities. However, the duration of the portfolio might not meet that target due to market events or interest rate changes that cause debt securities to be repaid more rapidly or more slowly than expected.

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

The Fund may also use derivatives to seek increased returns or to try to manage investment risks. Futures, swaps and "structured" notes are examples of some of the types of derivatives the Fund can use.

In selecting investments for the Fund, 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. The Fund mainly seeks income earnings on the Fund's investments plus capital appreciation that may arise from decreases in interest rates, from improving credit fundamentals for a particular sector or security or from other investment techniques.

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

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Debt Securities. Debt securities may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and event 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 repay principal, the Fund's income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, debt securities may be repaid 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 normally have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates. Event risk is the risk that an issuer could be subject to an event, such as a buyout or debt restructuring, that interferes with its ability to make timely interest and principal payments and cause the value of its debt securities to fall.

Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower-grade securities, whether rated or unrated, may be subject to wider market fluctuation, greater credit risk and greater risk of loss of income and principal than investment-grade securities. 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. 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.

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

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, can increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful.

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 other 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 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. 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.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Non-Service Shares performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. 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.

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: https://www.oppenheimerfunds.com/fund/MoneyFundVA

During the period shown, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 1.25% (2nd Qtr 07) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 0.00% (4th Qtr 12).

Average Annual Total Returns for the periods ended December 31, 2012

The following table shows the average annual total returns for the Fund's shares.

Average Annual Total Returns (Oppenheimer OVAF Money Fund/VA)	Inception Date	1 Year	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	Apr. 03, 1985	0.01%	0.62%	1.73%

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 Objective. The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Expense Narrative [Text Block]

rr_ExpenseNarrativeTextBlock

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

Portfolio Turnover [Text Block]

rr_PortfolioTurnoverTextBlock

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 28% of the average value of its portfolio.

Expense Example Narrative [Text Block]

rr_ExpenseExampleNarrativeTextBlock

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:

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of "growth companies." Growth companies are companies whose earnings and stock prices are expected to increase at a faster rate than the overall market. These may be newer companies or established companies of any capitalization range that the portfolio managers believe may appreciate in value over the long term. Currently, the Fund primarily focuses on established companies that are similar in size to companies in the S&P 500 Index or the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The Fund primarily invests in securities of U.S. issuers but may also invest in foreign securities. The portfolio managers look for growth companies with stock prices that they believe 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 managers focus on a number of factors that may vary in particular cases and over time. Currently, the portfolio managers look for:

• companies in business areas that have above-average growth potential,

• companies with growth rates that the portfolio managers believe are sustainable over time,

• stocks with reasonable valuations relative to their growth potential.

The Fund may sell the stocks of companies that the portfolio managers believe no longer meet the above criteria, but is not required to do so.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main 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.

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. 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.

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.

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 110% of the average value of its portfolio.

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:

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund invests in both equity and debt securities of domestic and foreign issuers in different capitalization ranges and in developed or developing countries. Under normal market conditions, the Fund invests at least 65% of its total assets in equity and debt securities that are expected to generate income. The percentages of equity and debt securities the Fund holds may vary from time to time. There is no limit on the Fund's investments in foreign securities.

Equity Securities. In selecting equity securities, the portfolio managers use both fundamental research and quantitative models to identify investment opportunities. While the process may change over time or vary in particular cases, in general the selection process currently:

• aims to maintain broad diversification across all major economic sectors;

• uses quantitative models, including sector specific factors, to rank securities within each economic sector;

• uses a fundamental approach to analyze issuers based on factors such as a company's financial performance, competitive strength, industry position, business practices and management; and

• considers market trends, current industry outlooks and general economic conditions.

Debt Securities. The portfolio managers look for high current yields and typically search for corporate and government debt securities that offer: attractive relative value, more income than U.S. treasury obligations, a balance of risk and return, high income potential and portfolio diversification.

The Fund's debt securities may be rated by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization or may be unrated. The Fund can invest up to 25% of its total assets below investment grade securities, also referred to as "junk bonds," but cannot invest more than 10% of its assets in below investment grade non-convertible securities. "Investment grade" securities are rated in one of the top four rating categories.

Derivative Securities. The Fund may also use derivative instruments to seek income or to try to manage investment risks, including: options, futures, swaps, "structured" notes, mortgage-related securities and equity-linked debt securities.

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

The Fund's holdings may at times differ significantly from the weightings of the indices comprising its reference index (the "Reference Index"). The Fund's Reference Index is a customized weighted index currently comprised of the following underlying broad-based security indices: 65% of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 35% of the Russell 3000 Index. The Fund is not managed to be invested in the same percentages as those indices comprising the Reference Index.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant 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 individual 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 against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

Main Risks of Debt Securities. Debt securities may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and event 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 repay principal, the Fund's income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, debt securities may be repaid 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 normally have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates. Event risk is the risk that an issuer could be subject to an event, such as a buyout or debt restructuring, that interferes with its ability to make timely interest and principal payments and cause the value of its debt securities to 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.

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.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, can increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful.

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. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund that has substantial investments in equity securities. Although the Fund seeks total return, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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.

Risk Lose Money [Text]

The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Principal 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 (generally referred to as "bonds"). A debt security is a security representing money borrowed by the issuer that must be repaid. The terms of a debt security specify the amount of principal, the interest rate or discount, and the time or times at which payments are due. Debt securities can include:

• Domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations;

• Domestic and foreign government debt obligations, including U.S. government securities;

• Mortgage-related securities;

• Asset-backed securities; and

• Other debt obligations.

The portfolio managers' overall strategy is to build a diversified portfolio of corporate and government bonds. The Fund's investments in U.S. government securities may include securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or by its agencies or federally-chartered entities referred to as "instrumentalities." There is no required allocation of the Fund's assets among the classes of securities, but the Fund focuses mainly on U.S. government securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities. When market conditions change, the portfolio managers might change the Fund's relative asset allocation.

The Fund can invest up to 20% of its total assets in lower-grade, high-yield debt securities that are below investment-grade (commonly referred to as "junk bonds"). "Investment-grade" debt securities are rated in one of the top four rating categories by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations such as Moody's or Standard & Poor's. The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, in which case the Fund's sub-adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing their credit quality, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Sub-Adviser's credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization.

The Fund has no limitations on the range of maturities of the debt securities in which it can invest and may hold securities with short-, medium- or long-term maturities. The maturity of a security differs from its effective duration, which attempts to measure the expected volatility of a security's price to interest rate changes. 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 decrease about 3%. To try to decrease volatility, the Fund seeks to maintain a weighted average effective portfolio duration of three to six years, measured on a dollar-weighted basis using the effective duration of the securities included in its portfolio and the amount invested in each of those securities. However, the duration of the portfolio might not meet that target due to market events or interest rate changes that cause debt securities to be repaid more rapidly or more slowly than expected.

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

The Fund may also use derivatives to seek increased returns or to try to manage investment risks. Futures, swaps and "structured" notes are examples of some of the types of derivatives the Fund can use.

In selecting investments for the Fund, 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. The Fund mainly seeks income earnings on the Fund's investments plus capital appreciation that may arise from decreases in interest rates, from improving credit fundamentals for a particular sector or security or from other investment techniques.

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

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Debt Securities. Debt securities may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and event 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 repay principal, the Fund's income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, debt securities may be repaid 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 normally have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates. Event risk is the risk that an issuer could be subject to an event, such as a buyout or debt restructuring, that interferes with its ability to make timely interest and principal payments and cause the value of its debt securities to fall.

Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower-grade securities, whether rated or unrated, may be subject to wider market fluctuation, greater credit risk and greater risk of loss of income and principal than investment-grade securities. 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. 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.

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

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, can increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful.

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 other 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 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. 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.

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.

Risk Lose Money [Text]

rr_RiskLoseMoney

The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies that the portfolio manager expects to have above-average growth rates. The Fund seeks to invest in newer companies or in more established companies that are in the early growth phase of their business cycle, which is typically marked by above-average growth rates. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of "mid-cap" issuers. The Fund defines mid-cap issuers as those issuers that are within the range of market capitalizations of the Russell Midcap® Growth Index. This range is subject to change at any time due to market activity or changes in the composition of that index. The range of the Russell Midcap Growth Index is reconstituted annually to preserve its capitalization characteristics. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in companies in other market capitalization ranges. 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 issuer's capitalization moves outside of the Fund's definition of mid-cap issuers.

The Fund invests primarily in U.S. 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. In selecting investments for the Fund, the 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, product development, and its industry position.

The portfolio manager currently focuses on high-growth companies that are characterized by industry leadership, market share growth, high caliber management teams, sustainable competitive advantages, and strong growth themes or new innovative products or services. The portfolio manager monitors individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security, but does not require a decision to do so. The factors considered by the portfolio manager may vary in particular cases and may change over time.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Mid-Sized Companies. Mid-sized companies generally involve greater risk of loss than larger companies. The stock prices of mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be less liquid and more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may have less established markets, fewer customers and product lines, less management depth and more limited access to financial resources. Mid-sized companies may not pay dividends for some time, if at all.

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.

Main 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.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

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 an aggressive growth fund emphasizing mid-cap stock investments. The Fund does not seek current income and 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.

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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies that the portfolio manager believes are undervalued. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets, plus borrowings for investment purposes, in equity securities. The Fund may invest in equity securities other than common stocks, such as preferred stocks, warrants and securities convertible into common stocks. The Fund may invest in equity securities issued by companies of different capitalization ranges, but will typically focus on larger capitalization stocks. The Fund may invest in equity securities both for current income from dividends as well as for growth opportunities.

The Fund can buy securities of companies in developed and emerging market countries. The Fund has no limits on the amounts it can invest in foreign securities. However, currently it does not intend to invest more than 25% of its net assets in securities of issuers in any single foreign country or more than 5% of its net assets in companies or government issuers in emerging market countries.

In selecting investments for the Fund, the portfolio manager mainly relies on a value-oriented investing style. 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 Fund also looks for securities that offer higher than average dividends. The portfolio manager generally uses a fundamental approach to analyzing issuers, for example, by looking at price/earnings ratios and current balance sheet information. Currently, the portfolio manager focuses on securities that have high current income and are believed to have substantial earnings possibilities, have low price/earnings ratios relative to other securities, and that have a low price relative to the underlying value of the issuer's assets, earnings, cash flow or other factors. These criteria may vary in particular cases and may change over time. The Fund may sell securities that the portfolio manager believes no longer meet these criteria, but is not required to do so.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Other Equity Securities. Most convertible securities are subject to the risks and price fluctuations of the underlying stock. They may be subject to the risk that the issuer will not be able to pay interest or dividends when due and their market value may change based on changes in the issuer's credit rating or the market's perception of the issuer's creditworthiness. Some convertible preferred stocks have a conversion or call feature that allows the issuer to redeem the stock before the conversion date, which could diminish the potential for capital appreciation on the investment. The fixed dividend rate of preferred stocks may cause their prices to behave more like those of debt securities. If interest rates rise, the value of preferred stock having a fixed dividend rate tends to fall. Preferred stock generally rank behind debt securities in claims for dividends and assets of the issuer in a liquidation or bankruptcy. The price of a warrant does not necessarily move parallel to the price of the underlying security and is generally more volatile than that of the underlying security. Rights are similar to warrants, but normally have a shorter duration. The market for rights or warrants may be very limited and it may be difficult to sell them promptly at an acceptable price. Rights and warrants have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect to the assets of the issuer.

Main Risks of Small- and Mid-Sized Companies. The stock prices of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may not have established markets, may have fewer customers and product lines, may have unseasoned management or less management depth and may have more limited access to financial resources. Smaller companies may not pay dividends or provide capital gains for some time, if at all.

Main Risks of Value Investing. Value investing entails the risk that if the market does not recognize that the Fund's securities are undervalued, the prices of those securities might not appreciate as anticipated. A value approach could also result in fewer investments that increase rapidly during times of market gains and could cause the Fund to underperform funds that use a growth or non-value approach to investing. Value investing has gone in and out of favor during past market cycles and when value investing is out of favor or when markets are unstable, the securities of "value" companies may underperform the securities of "growth" companies.

Dividend Risk. There is no guarantee that the issuers of the stocks held by the Fund will declare dividends in the future or that, if dividends are declared, they will remain at their current levels or increase over time. High-dividend stocks may not experience high earnings growth or capital appreciation. The Fund's performance during a broad market advance could suffer because dividend paying stocks may not experience the same capital appreciation as non-dividend paying stocks.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

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 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 Fund's net asset value is calculated. If such time-zone arbitrage were successful, it might dilute the interests of other shareholders. The Fund's use of "fair value pricing" to adjust certain market prices of foreign securities may help deter those activities.

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. 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 equity securities. Since the Fund's income level will fluctuate, it is not designed for investors needing an assured level of current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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.

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 14% of the average value of its portfolio.

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:

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund 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 developing 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 market capitalization range, but primarily invests in mid- and large-cap companies.

Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest in at least three different 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 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, product development, and industry position. The portfolio manager also evaluates factors affecting particular industries, market trends and general economic conditions.

The portfolio manager currently focuses on growth-oriented companies, companies that may benefit from global growth trends at attractive valuations, companies with strong competitive positions and high demand for their products or services, and cyclical opportunities in the business cycle and sectors or industries that may benefit from those opportunities. These criteria may vary.

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, but does not require a decision to do so.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main 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.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Mid-Sized Companies. Mid-sized companies generally involve greater risk of loss than larger companies. The stock prices of mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be less liquid and more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may have less established markets, fewer customers and product lines, less management depth and more limited access to financial resources. Mid-sized companies may not pay dividends for some time, if at all.

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.

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 that are typical for a fund that focuses on stocks and foreign securities. 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 current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 78% of the average value of its portfolio.

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:

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

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

The Fund invests mainly in issuers in three market sectors: (1) foreign governments and companies, (2) U.S. government securities, and (3) lower-grade, high-yield securities (commonly referred to as "junk bonds") of U.S. and foreign companies. 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 it offers the best investment opportunity. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest a substantial portion of its assets in a number of different countries, including the U.S. The Fund is not required to allocate its investments in any set percentages in any particular countries.

The Fund's foreign investments may include debt securities issued by foreign governments or companies in both developed markets and 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 can invest in investment grade or lower-grade, high-yield debt securities. "Investment grade" debt 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. The Fund may also invest in unrated securities, in which case the Fund's Sub-Adviser, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., may internally assign ratings to certain of those securities, after assessing their credit quality, in investment-grade or below-investment-grade categories similar to those of nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. There can be no assurance, nor is it intended, that the Sub-Adviser's credit analysis is consistent or comparable with the credit analysis process used by a nationally recognized statistical rating organization. The Fund's debt investments typically include: U.S. and foreign government bonds and notes, collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and other mortgage-related securities, domestic and foreign corporate debt obligations, "structured" notes, "zero coupon" and "stripped" securities, participation interests in loans, investments in loan pools and asset-backed securities. The Fund normally invests a substantial amount of its assets in lower-grade, high-yield debt securities, and can do so without limit.

The Fund may also use certain types of derivative instruments for investment purposes or for hedging, including: options, futures, forward contracts, swaps, certain mortgage-related securities, "structured"notes, and event-linked bonds.

The Fund actively manages foreign currency exposure to seek to reduce risk and enhance return. To do so, the Fund may invest in foreign exchange derivatives, including forwards and options that reference foreign currencies, including currencies of developing and emerging market countries.

The portfolio managers analyze the overall investment opportunities and risks among the three market sectors in which the Fund invests and seek to moderate the special risks of investing in lower-grade, high-yield debt instruments and foreign securities by building a broadly diversified portfolio. The Fund's diversification strategies are intended to help reduce share price volatility while seeking current income. The portfolio managers currently focus on 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 market sectors in which the Fund invests. These factors may vary in particular cases and may change over time.

The Fund may sell securities that the portfolio managers believe are no longer favorable based on these factors.

The Fund's holdings may at times differ significantly from the weightings of the indices comprising its reference index (the "Reference Index"). The Fund's Reference Index is a customized weighted index currently comprised of the following underlying broad-based security indices: 40% Citigroup Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index, 30% J.P. Morgan Domestic High Yield Index, and 30% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Fund is not managed to be invested in the same percentages as those indices comprising the Reference Index.

The Fund has established a Cayman Islands exempted company that is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund (the "Subsidiary"). The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity futures, financial futures, options and swap contracts) and exchange traded funds related to gold or other special minerals ("Gold ETFs"). The Subsidiary may also invest in certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral for its derivatives positions. Investments in the Subsidiary are intended to provide the Fund with exposure to commodities market returns within the limitations of the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. The Fund applies its investment restrictions and compliance policies and procedures, on a look-through basis, to the Subsidiary. The Fund's investment in the Subsidiary may vary based on the portfolio managers' use of different types of commodity-linked derivatives, fixed-income securities, Gold ETFs, and other investments. Since the Fund may invest a substantial portion of its assets in the Subsidiary, which may hold certain of the investments described in this prospectus, the Fund may be considered to be investing indirectly in those investments through its Subsidiary. Therefore, references in this prospectus to investments by the Fund also may be deemed to include the Fund's indirect investments through the Subsidiary.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Debt Securities. Debt securities may be subject to credit risk, interest rate risk, prepayment risk, extension risk and event 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 repay principal, the Fund's income or share value might be reduced. Adverse news about an issuer or a downgrade in an issuer's credit rating, for any reason, can also reduce the market value of the issuer's securities. Interest rate risk is the risk that when prevailing interest rates fall, the values of already-issued debt securities generally rise; and when prevailing interest rates rise, the values of already-issued debt securities generally fall, and they may be worth less than the amount the Fund paid for them. When interest rates change, the values of longer-term debt securities usually change more than the values of shorter-term debt securities. When interest rates fall, debt securities may be repaid 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 normally have different effects on variable or floating rate securities than they do on securities with fixed interest rates. Event risk is the risk that an issuer could be subject to an event, such as a buyout or debt restructuring, that interferes with its ability to make timely interest and principal payments and cause the value of its debt securities to 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.

Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. Lower-grade securities, whether rated or unrated, may be subject to wider market fluctuation, greater credit risk and greater risk of loss of income and principal than investment-grade securities. 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.

Special Risks of Sovereign Debt. Sovereign debt instruments are subject to the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse, or otherwise be unable, to pay interest or repay principal on its sovereign debt. If a governmental entity defaults, it may ask for more time in which to pay or for further loans. There is no legal process for collecting sovereign debt that a government does not pay nor are there bankruptcy proceedings through which all or part of such sovereign debt may be collected. A restructuring or default of sovereign debt may also cause additional impacts to the financial markets, such as downgrades to credit ratings, a flight to quality debt instruments, disruptions in common trading markets or unions, reduced liquidity, increased volatility, and heightened financial sector, foreign securities and currency risk, among others.

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 evaluations regarding the sectors' relative performance may be incorrect and those sectors may all perform in a similar manner under certain market conditions.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

Foreign Currency Risk. Fluctuations in foreign currency values will result in fluctuations 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.

The portfolio manager's selection of foreign currency denominated investments may not perform as expected. Currency derivative investments may be particularly volatile and subject to greater risks than other types of foreign-currency denominated investments.

Special Risks of Developing and Emerging Markets. 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. The governments of developing and emerging market countries may also be more unstable than the governments of more developed countries. These countries generally have less developed securities markets or exchanges, and less developed legal and accounting systems. Securities may be more difficult to sell at an acceptable price and may be more volatile than securities in countries with more mature markets. The value of developing or emerging market currencies may fluctuate more than the currencies of countries with more mature markets. Investments in developing or emerging market countries may be subject to greater risks of government restrictions, including confiscatory taxation, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, restrictions on foreign ownership of local companies and restrictions on withdrawing assets from the country. Investments in securities of issuers in developing or emerging market countries may be considered speculative.

Main Risks of Derivative Investments. Derivatives may involve significant risks. Derivatives may be more volatile than other types of investments, may require the payment of premiums, can increase portfolio turnover, may be illiquid, and may not perform as expected. Derivatives are subject to counterparty risk and the Fund may lose money on a derivative investment if the issuer or counterparty fails to pay the amount due. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund's initial investment. As a result of these risks, the Fund could realize little or no income or lose money from its investment, or a hedge might be unsuccessful.

Main Risks of Commodity-Linked Investments. Commodity-linked investments are considered speculative and have substantial risks, including the risk of loss of a significant portion of their principal value. Prices of commodities and commodity-linked investments may fluctuate significantly over short periods due to a variety of factors, including for example agricultural, economic and regulatory developments. These risks may make commodity-linked investments more volatile than other types of investments.

Main Risks Of Investments In The Fund's Wholly-Owned Subsidiary. The Subsidiary is not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and is not subject to its investor protections (except as otherwise noted in this prospectus). As an investor in the Subsidiary, the Fund does not have all of the protections offered to investors by the Investment Company Act of 1940. However, the Subsidiary is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund and managed by the Manager. Therefore, the Fund's ownership and control of the Subsidiary make it unlikely that the Subsidiary would take actions contrary to the interests of the Fund or its shareholders.

Changes in the laws of the Cayman Islands (where the Subsidiary is organized) could prevent the Subsidiary from operating as described in this prospectus and could negatively affect the Fund and its shareholders. For example, the Cayman Islands currently does not impose certain taxes on exempted companies like the Subsidiary, including income and capital gains tax, among others. If Cayman Islands laws were changed to require such entities to pay Cayman Islands taxes, the investment returns of the Fund would likely decrease.

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 other 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 in a variety of domestic and foreign debt securities, including government 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 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.

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.

Risk Lose Money [Text]

The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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.

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 37% of the average value of its portfolio.

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:

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies of different capitalization ranges. The Fund currently focuses on "larger capitalization" issuers, which are considered to be companies with market capitalizations equal to the companies in the Russell 1000 Index. The portfolio managers use fundamental research and quantitative models to select securities for the Fund's portfolio, which is comprised of both growth and value stocks. While the process may change over time or vary in particular cases, in general the selection process currently uses:

• a fundamental approach in analyzing issuers on factors such as a company's financial performance and prospects, industry position, and business model and management strength. Industry outlook, market trends and general economic conditions may also be considered.

• quantitative models to rank securities within each sector to identify potential buy and sell candidates for further fundamental analysis. A number of company-specific factors are analyzed in constructing the models, including valuation, fundamentals and momentum.

The portfolio is constructed and regularly monitored based upon several analytical tools, including quantitative investment models. The Fund aims to maintain a broadly diversified portfolio across major economic sectors by applying investment parameters for both sector and position size. The portfolio managers use the following sell criteria: the stock price is approaching its target, deterioration in the company's competitive position, poor execution by the company's management, or identification of more attractive alternative investment ideas.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Small- and Mid-Sized Companies. The stock prices of small- and mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may not have established markets, may have fewer customers and product lines, may have unseasoned management or less management depth and may have more limited access to financial resources. Smaller companies may not pay dividends or provide capital gains for some time, if at all.

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. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund that focuses on stocks. The Fund is not designed for investors needing current income. The Fund is not a complete investment program. You should carefully consider your own investment goals and risk tolerance before investing in the Fund.

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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

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 2500TM Index. 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 2500TM Index generally widens over time and it is reconstituted annually to preserve its market cap characteristics. 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.

Although the Fund mainly invests in U.S. companies, it can invest in securities issued by companies or governments in any country. The Fund primarily invests in common stock but may also invest in other types of securities that are consistent with its investment objective.

The portfolio managers use both fundamental research and quantitative models to identify investment opportunities. While the process may change over time or vary in particular cases, in general the selection process currently:

• aims to maintain broad diversification across all major economic sectors;

• uses quantitative models, including sector-specific factors, to rank securities within each economic sector;

• uses a fundamental approach to analyze issuers based on factors such as a company's financial performance, competitive strength, industry position, business practices and management; and

• considers market trends, current industry outlooks and general economic conditions.

In constructing the portfolio, the Fund seeks to limit exposure to so-called "top-down" or "macro" risks, such as overall stock market movements, economic cycles, and interest rate or currency fluctuations. Instead, the portfolio managers seek to add value by selecting individual securities with superior company-specific fundamental attributes or relative valuations that they expect to outperform their industry and sector peers. This is commonly referred to as a "bottom-up" approach to portfolio construction.

The portfolio managers consider stock rankings, benchmark weightings and capitalization outlooks in determining security weightings for individual issuers.

The portfolio managers might sell a security if the price is approaching their price target, if the company's competitive position has deteriorated or the company's management has performed poorly, or if they have identified more attractive investment prospects.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Small-Cap Companies. Small-cap companies may be either established or newer companies, including "unseasoned" companies that have typically 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-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 small-cap 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-sized company, if it realizes any gain at all.

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 smaller 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.

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. Those investors should be willing to assume the greater risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund focusing on long-term capital appreciation of stocks of small sized companies. The Fund 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.

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

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.

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

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 price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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.

(Oppenheimer OVAF Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund/VA)

Investment Objective. The Fund seeks capital appreciation.

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees (Oppenheimer OVAF Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund/VA)	Non-Service Shares	Service Shares
Maximum Sales Charge (Load) imposed on purchases (as % of offering price)	none	none
Maximum Deferred Sales Charge (Load) (as % of the lower of original offering price or redemption proceeds)	none	none

Annual Fund Operating Expenses(expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (Oppenheimer OVAF Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund/VA)		Non-Service Shares	Service Shares
Management Fees		0.72%	0.72%
Distribution and/or Service (12b-1) Fees		none	0.25%
Total Other Expenses		0.13%	0.13%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses		0.85%	1.10%
Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement	[1]	(0.05%)	(0.05%)
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver and/or Expense Reimbursement		0.80%	1.05%

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Discovery Mid Cap Growth Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	82	267	468	1,049
Service Shares	108	347	605	1,343

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 66% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies. The Fund mainly invests in common stocks of U.S. companies that the portfolio manager expects to have above-average growth rates. The Fund seeks to invest in newer companies or in more established companies that are in the early growth phase of their business cycle, which is typically marked by above-average growth rates. Under normal circumstances, the Fund will invest at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of "mid-cap" issuers. The Fund defines mid-cap issuers as those issuers that are within the range of market capitalizations of the Russell Midcap® Growth Index. This range is subject to change at any time due to market activity or changes in the composition of that index. The range of the Russell Midcap Growth Index is reconstituted annually to preserve its capitalization characteristics. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in companies in other market capitalization ranges. 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 issuer's capitalization moves outside of the Fund's definition of mid-cap issuers.

The Fund invests primarily in U.S. 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. In selecting investments for the Fund, the 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, product development, and its industry position.

The portfolio manager currently focuses on high-growth companies that are characterized by industry leadership, market share growth, high caliber management teams, sustainable competitive advantages, and strong growth themes or new innovative products or services. The portfolio manager monitors individual issuers for changes in the factors above, which may trigger a decision to sell a security, but does not require a decision to do so. The factors considered by the portfolio manager may vary in particular cases and may change over time.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Mid-Sized Companies. Mid-sized companies generally involve greater risk of loss than larger companies. The stock prices of mid-sized companies may be more volatile and their securities may be less liquid and more difficult to sell than those of larger companies. They may have less established markets, fewer customers and product lines, less management depth and more limited access to financial resources. Mid-sized companies may not pay dividends for some time, if at all.

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.

Main 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.

Main Risks of Foreign Investing. Foreign securities are 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. 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 and in the value of any income or distributions the Fund may receive on those securities. 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. These risks may be greater for investments in developing or emerging market countries.

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 an aggressive growth fund emphasizing mid-cap stock investments. The Fund does not seek current income and 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.

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 provide some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's Non-Service Shares performance from year to year and by showing how the Fund's average annual returns for 1, 5, and 10 years compare with those of a broad measure of market performance. 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: https://www.oppenheimerfunds.com/fund/DiscoveryMidCapGrowthFundVA

During the period shown, the highest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was 16.47% (1st Qtr 12) and the lowest return before taxes for a calendar quarter was -32.43% (4th Qtr 08).

Average Annual Total Returns for the periods ended December 31, 2012

Fees and Expenses of the Fund. This table describes the fees and expenses that you may pay if you buy and hold or redeem shares of the Fund. The accompanying prospectus of the participating insurance company provides 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. The fees and expenses of those products are not charged by the Fund and are not reflected in this table. Expenses would be higher if those fees were included.

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:

Expense Example (Oppenheimer OVAF Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Non-Service Shares	82	263	459	1,027
Service Shares	108	342	596	1,321

Portfolio Turnover. The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs. These costs, which are not reflected in the annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 92% of the average value of its portfolio.

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 2500TM Index. 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 2500TM Index generally widens over time and it is reconstituted annually to preserve its market cap characteristics. 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.

Although the Fund mainly invests in U.S. companies, it can invest in securities issued by companies or governments in any country. The Fund primarily invests in common stock but may also invest in other types of securities that are consistent with its investment objective.

The portfolio managers use both fundamental research and quantitative models to identify investment opportunities. While the process may change over time or vary in particular cases, in general the selection process currently:

• aims to maintain broad diversification across all major economic sectors;

• uses quantitative models, including sector-specific factors, to rank securities within each economic sector;

• uses a fundamental approach to analyze issuers based on factors such as a company's financial performance, competitive strength, industry position, business practices and management; and

• considers market trends, current industry outlooks and general economic conditions.

In constructing the portfolio, the Fund seeks to limit exposure to so-called "top-down" or "macro" risks, such as overall stock market movements, economic cycles, and interest rate or currency fluctuations. Instead, the portfolio managers seek to add value by selecting individual securities with superior company-specific fundamental attributes or relative valuations that they expect to outperform their industry and sector peers. This is commonly referred to as a "bottom-up" approach to portfolio construction.

The portfolio managers consider stock rankings, benchmark weightings and capitalization outlooks in determining security weightings for individual issuers.

The portfolio managers might sell a security if the price is approaching their price target, if the company's competitive position has deteriorated or the company's management has performed poorly, or if they have identified more attractive investment prospects.

Principal Risks. The price of the Fund's shares can go up and down substantially. The value of the Fund's investments may change because of broad changes in the markets in which the Fund invests or because of poor investment selection, which could cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives. There is no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective. 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 Stock. The value of the Fund's portfolio may be affected by changes in the stock markets. Stock markets may experience significant 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 individual stocks 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 stock. These factors may include, but are not limited to: poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company's sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.

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

Main Risks of Small-Cap Companies. Small-cap companies may be either established or newer companies, including "unseasoned" companies that have typically 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-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 small-cap 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-sized company, if it realizes any gain at all.

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 smaller 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.

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. Those investors should be willing to assume the greater risks of short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund focusing on long-term capital appreciation of stocks of small sized companies. The Fund 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.

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.
