Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

Fund Performance Discussion

 

The Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a total return of 35.98% during the one-year reporting period ended December 31, 2013, outperforming the Russell Midcap Growth Index (the “Index”), which returned 35.74%. During the reporting period, the Fund enjoyed good relative performance in the industrials, financials, information technology and energy sectors largely due to positive stock selection. The Fund underperformed the Index in the consumer discretionary sector due to relatively weak stock selection, and in the consumer staples sector, where less favorable stock selection and an underweight position detracted.

For the trailing 3-year period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund’s Non-Service shares produced an annualized return of 16.98% compared to 15.63% for the Russell Midcap Growth Index.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Equities in the U.S. and developed markets throughout the world delivered strong performance in 2013. Accommodative monetary policies on the part of central banks in the U.S., Europe and Japan, combined with supportive equity valuations relative to bonds, were instrumental in this performance. Signs that the U.S. economy was on the mend, demonstrated by rising house prices, also helped sentiment toward stocks. While equities performed well for the year, numerous concerns remained. Namely, in late May, relatively hawkish remarks by Federal Reserve (“Fed”) chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to back away from their quantitative easing program sooner than expected, sparking heightened volatility in financial markets throughout the world. Additionally, fears began to creep into the market about a possible slowdown in the world’s emerging economies. However, market conditions generally stabilized over the summer of 2013. While the Fed unexpectedly refrained from reducing its monthly bond purchases in September, in December, the Central Bank announced that it would reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, from $85 billion to $75 billion, starting in January 2014. The Fed also announced that it would continue to hold short-term interest rates at very low levels until unemployment in the United States subsided below 6.5%. This was lower than its earlier 7% target.

TOP INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS

During the period, two information technology companies were top performers, LinkedIn Corp. and CoStar Group, Inc. LinkedIn, the largest professional networking website, released strong earnings results throughout the year and all three of the company’s segments grew significantly faster than the overall market. CoStar Group is a leading provider of information services to the commercial real estate industry. As commercial real estate activity accelerated through the year, CoStar reported a series of strong quarterly results. The company also benefited from its 2012 acquisition of LoopNet, as synergies appear to be greater than expected.

Other strong performers during the period included health care company Actavis plc, consumer discretionary stock Tractor Supply Co. and financial services company Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. Actavis has become one of the largest generic drug companies in the world through a series of strategic acquisitions and new generic drug launches. Their most recent acquisition of Warner Chilcott was announced in May 2013 and we believe it will be accretive to earnings. We have owned Actavis for a number of years and it has grown into our largest health care holding. Tractor Supply is the largest domestic operator of retail farm and ranch stores. The company performed positively despite sizable weather challenges.

Our long-term investment in the Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”) made a strong contribution during the period. AMG is an asset management company providing investment management services to mutual funds, institutional clients, and high net worth individuals. Strong relative performance by the company’s affiliate investment managers led to large inflows during the period. AMG remains our largest holding in the financial services sector.

TOP INDIVIDUAL DETRACTORS

The most significant detractors from performance this period were Rackspace Hosting, Inc., Aruba Networks, Inc. and SolarWinds, Inc. Rackspace reported weak results early in 2013 due to unexpected price competition in their core web hosting market. Aruba Networks, a supplier of wireless LAN (WLAN) systems for enterprises, reported disappointing third quarter results and fourth quarter guidance due largely to delayed customer orders. SolarWinds, a provider of infrastructure management tools, reported first quarter revenue below street estimates as growth from new licenses slowed. We sold our position in these three stocks during the period.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

At the end of the reporting period relative to the Index, the Fund was overweight in the information technology, industrials and energy sectors while most underweight in consumer discretionary, consumer staples, materials and financials.

Our long-term investment process is unchanged as we focus on outperforming the Index with superior stock selection. We seek dynamic companies with above-average and sustainable revenue and earnings growth potential. We also continue to favor well-established, high-quality growth companies with proven management teams.

The macroeconomic environment remains characterized by modest economic expansion, slow corporate profit growth and low (albeit more volatile) interest rates. We believe this environment places a bigger premium on companies that can generate organic growth, which is a favorable backdrop for the Fund.

Investors should consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor or calling us at 1.800.988.8287. Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2013. Performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period for both Classes. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares. Past performance cannot guarantee future results. The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Russell Midcap Growth Index, the Russell 2500 Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Growth Index. The Russell Midcap Growth Index measures the performance of the mid-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell Midcap Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2500 Growth Index measures the performance of the small to mid-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2500 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Russell 2000 Growth Index measures the performance of the small-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 2000 Index companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. The Fund has changed its benchmarks from the Russell Midcap Growth Index, the Russell 2500 Growth Index and the Russell 2000 Growth Index to the Russell Midcap Growth Index, which it believes is a more appropriate measure of the Fund’s performance. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Expenses

 

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios     

Non-Service shares

       0.80 %    

Service shares

       1.04      

The expense ratios reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, unless approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   December 31, 2013

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Discovery Mid-Cap Growth Fund/VA (the “Fund”), formerly Oppenheimer Small- & Mid-Cap Growth Fund/VA, is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, as a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

3. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund utilized $121,849,981 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

4. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $44,334,654 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and

liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

2. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.

Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.

Security Type   Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities   Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors.
Loans   Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Event-linked bonds   Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield

2. Securities Valuation

curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

Fee Schedule        

Up to $200 million

     0.75%   

Next $200 million

     0.72

     0.66      

Next $700 million

     0.60      

Over $1.5 billion

     0.58      

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $243,578 and $15,480 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively.

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $8,413 for IMMF management fees.

Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.

 

 

6. Pending Litigation

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and

6. Pending Litigation (Continued)

former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On January 7, 2014, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.

OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS   Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Agreements. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Sub-Adviser’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio manager and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers are responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Managers also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Ronald Zibelli, Jr., the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other mid-cap growth funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its performance category median for the one- and three-year periods but underperformed for the five- and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the Fund’s recent improved performance, ranking in the top quintile of its performance category for the three-year period and in the second quintile for the one-year period.

Costs of Services by the Adviser. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other mid-cap growth funds underlying variable insurance products. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds to those of retail funds, it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual management fees and total expenses, after waivers, were lower than its peer group median and category median. Within the total asset range of $500 million to $1 billion, the Fund’s effective rate was lower than its peer group median and category median. The Board noted that the Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This contractual expense limitation may not be amended or withdrawn until one year after the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information regarding the Managers’ costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers’ profitability from their relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Managers may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to

 

22    OPPENHEIMER DISCOVERY MID CAP GROWTH FUND/VA


 

the Managers’ affiliates and research provided to the Adviser in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through August 31, 2014. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a total return of 13.17% during the one-year reporting period ended December 31, 2013. On a relative basis, the Fund outperformed its Reference Index, which returned 12.04%. 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. Measured separately, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned -2.02% and the Russell 3000 Index returned 33.55%.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Accommodative monetary policies on the part of central banks in the U.S., Europe and Japan, combined with an improving economic outlook, resulted in a rally among risk equities and higher-yielding bonds over the first four months of 2013. At the same time, yields of U.S. government securities remained near historical lows due to the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed’s”) massive bond buying program. These developments drove financial markets higher through the early spring of 2013. At that time, economic data appeared to confirm that the United States, Europe and Japan had engineered a sustained economic rebound, but investors responded negatively to disappointing economic data from China, India, Brazil, and other emerging markets. The ensuing “flight to quality” toward traditional safe havens produced sharp dislocations in emerging equity, fixed-income and currency markets. In late May, relatively hawkish remarks by Fed chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to back away from their quantitative easing program sooner than expected, sparking heightened volatility in financial markets throughout the world. However, market conditions generally stabilized over the summer of 2013. In October, the U.S. Congress managed to reach a bipartisan agreement to raise the national debt ceiling, and did so well ahead of the potential default deadline. While the Fed unexpectedly refrained from reducing its monthly bond purchases in September, in December the Central Bank announced that it would reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, from $85 billion to $75 billion, starting in January 2014. The Fed also announced that it would continue to hold short-term interest rates at very low levels until unemployment in the United States subsided below 6.5%. This was lower than its earlier 7% target.

EQUITY STRATEGY REVIEW

The equity strategy outperformed the Russell 3000 Index this period, and only underperformed in one sector. Outperformance was driven by stronger relative stock selection and an underweight position in telecommunication services, along with stronger stock selection in the consumer staples and financials sectors. Consumer discretionary was the sole underperforming sector, due to less favorable stock selection.

The equity strategy’s strongest performing holdings this period were Walgreen Co., Actavis plc and Chevron Corp. In 2012, Walgreen acquired a 45% stake in European pharmacy chain Alliance Boots. Synergies between the companies appeared strong during the period. We exited our position in Walgreen by period end. Actavis is a branded and generic drug company whose shares spiked when management announced it was combining operations with Warner Chilcott – a leading specialty pharmaceutical company based in Ireland. The merged entity is expected to benefit from revenue synergies, with complementary product lines, and cost rationalization – both of which we believe have the potential to contribute to rising profits. The merger would also allow the company to reincorporate in Ireland, which could result in a significantly lower tax rate that would provide the potential not only to boost profits, but also cash generation. Oil company Chevron’s stock was driven partly by higher refining profitability and a rise in upstream volumes.

Detractors from performance included information technology stocks Aruba Networks, Inc. and International Business Machines Corp. (“IBM”), and financials stock Digital Realty Trust, Inc. Over the first half of the period, fundamentals of many technology companies suffered from the macroeconomic headwinds that impacted enterprise spending. Networking company Aruba Networks’ earnings growth may have also been hurt due to discounting by competitor Cisco Systems. IBM reported disappointing revenues and earnings over the second quarter of 2013, due in part to delayed signings of new software and hardware bookings. A stronger dollar also negatively impacted top line growth. We exited our positions in both Aruba Networks and IBM during the reporting period.

Digital Realty owns and/or manages data centers on behalf of corporate and technology-related tenants throughout the U.S. and England. A quarterly result that missed expectations and management’s subsequent guidance below consensus estimates caused Digital’s stock price to retreat. The shortfall was largely attributed to delays in lease commencements. Partially offsetting the disappointing news was an unexpected share repurchase announcement. We have maintained our holdings in Digital as we expect demand to remain robust for data center management services and Digital should be well-positioned to compete for “Global 1000” contracts.

FIXED-INCOME STRATEGY REVIEW

In what was a volatile period for fixed-income markets, the Fund’s fixed-income strategy experienced a slight decline, but outperformed the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. During the reporting period, the fixed-income strategy remained significantly underweight government bonds and favored corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities and structured products. This positioning benefited the Fund’s relative performance during the period, as higher-yielding fixed income sectors outperformed the performance of U.S. Treasuries. The fixed-income strategy’s exposure to corporate bonds produced positive results this period and was a primary outperformer to relative performance. Within the corporate bond allocation, an overweight to the financial sector was beneficial to

 

3      OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL INCOME FUND/VA


performance as a review of the sector by Moody’s in November resulted in a positive outcome for many banks that were at risk of losing their investment grade rating. The fixed-income strategy also benefited from a modest allocation to high yield bonds which saw significant spread compression throughout the year.

The fixed-income strategy’s investments in non-agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and asset backed securities (“ABS”) also benefited performance for the one-year period. However, its allocation to agency MBS produced slight negative results. Before the Fed’s comments on tapering in May, we started reducing our position in agency MBS since we felt they were vulnerable to policy changes. This decision helped limit their negative impact on the fixed-income strategy when interest rates rose and volatility in the mortgage market increased over the second half of the reporting period.

Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2013. Performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period for both Classes. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Russell 3000 Index, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Russell 1000 Value Index, the S&P 500 Index and the Fund’s Reference Index. The Russell 3000 Index measures the performance of the largest 3,000 U.S. companies, representing approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index of U.S dollar-denominated, investment-grade U.S. corporate government and mortgage-backed securities. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks intended to be a representative sample of leading companies in leading industries within the U.S. economy. The Fund’s Reference Index is a customized weighted index currently comprised of 65% of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and 35% of the Russell 3000 Index. The Fund has changed its benchmarks from the S&P 500 Index, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Russell 1000 Value Index to the Russell 3000 Index, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate bond Index, and the Reference Index, which it believes are more appropriate measures of the Fund’s performance. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Expenses

 

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios     

Non-Service shares

       0.67 %    

Service shares

       0.92      

The expense ratios reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, unless approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

These securities amount to $32,641,058 or 11.52% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2013.

4. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security.

5. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $2,502,370 or 0.88% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2013.

6. Interest rate is less than 0.0005%.

7. Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows. These securities amount to $130,462 or 0.05% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2013.

8. The current amortization rate of the security’s cost basis exceeds the future interest payments currently estimated to be received. Both the amortization rate and interest payments are contingent on future mortgage pre-payment speeds and are therefore subject to change.

9. All or a portion of the security position is when-issued or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after December 31, 2013. See Note 1 of the accompanying Notes.

10. All or a portion of the security position is held in accounts at a futures clearing merchant and pledged to cover margin requirements on open futures contracts and written options on futures, if applicable. The aggregate market value of such securities is $584,283. See Note 6 of the accompanying Notes.

11. This bond has no contractual maturity date, is not redeemable and contractually pays an indefinite stream of interest. Rate reported represents the current interest rate for this variable rate security.

12. Is or was an affiliate, as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, at or during the period ended December 31, 2013, by virtue of the Fund owning at least 5% of the voting securities of the issuer or as a result of the Fund and the issuer having the same investment adviser.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS      December 31, 2013

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund/VA (the “Fund”), formerly Oppenheimer Balanced Fund/VA, is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.

As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:

     When-Issued or
Delayed Delivery
Basis Transactions
 

 

 

Purchased securities

     $48,496,502   

Sold securities

     7,647,296   

The Fund may enter into “forward roll” transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.

Forward roll transactions may be deemed to entail embedded leverage since the Fund purchases mortgage-related securities with extended settlement dates rather than paying for the securities under a normal settlement cycle. This embedded leverage increases the Fund’s market value of investments relative to its net assets which can incrementally increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Forward roll transactions can be replicated over multiple settlement periods.

Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; and counterparty credit risk.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS      Continued

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had $32,864,475 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. Details of the capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryovers with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates.

Of these losses, $9,969,732 are subject to loss limitation rules resulting from merger activity. These limitations generally reduce the utilization of these losses to a maximum of $3,323,244 per year.

2. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund utilized $36,236,660 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

3. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $4,569,082 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

2.  Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.

Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.

Security Type    Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities    Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors.
Loans    Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Event-linked bonds    Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Structured securities    Relevant market information such as the price of underlying financial instruments, stock market indices, foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, commodities, or the occurrence of other specific events.
Swaps    Relevant market information, including underlying reference assets such as credit spreads, credit event probabilities, index values, individual security values, forward interest rates, variable interest rates, volatility measures, and forward currency rates.

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

 Fee Schedule        

 Up to $200 million

     0.75%      

 Next $200 million

     0.72         

 Next $200 million

     0.69         

 Next $200 million

     0.66         

 Over $800 million

     0.60         

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not

 

26      OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL INCOME FUND/VA


 

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

 

 

exceed the annual rate of 0.67% for Non-Service shares and 0.92% for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $469,413 and $155,544 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively.

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $21,049 for IMMF management fees.

Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.

 

 

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments

The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.

Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products. 

Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. Futures contracts and options thereon are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value in an account registered in the futures commission merchant’s name. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the futures commission merchant each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains

 

27      OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL INCOME FUND/VA


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS      Continued

 

 

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued)

 

and losses. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the futures commission merchant can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations.

Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various bonds and notes to increase exposure to interest rate risk.

The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $15,041,246 and $15,732,851 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.

Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, the price or volatility of asset or non-asset references, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Swaps can be executed in a bi-lateral privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction (“OTC swaps”) or executed on a regulated market. Certain swaps, regardless of the venue of their execution, are required to be cleared through a clearinghouse (“cleared swaps”). Swap contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit default, currency, and volatility swaps.

Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Daily changes in the value of cleared swaps are reported as variation margin receivable or payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The values of OTC swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund, if any, at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference rate or asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps have embedded leverage, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on a debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a corporate issuer, sovereign issuer, or a basket or index of issuers (the “reference asset”).

The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.

The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.

If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the swap less the market value of specified debt securities issued by the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between such value and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.

The Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to increase exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/or indexes of issuers that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.

The Fund has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/or indexes of issuers.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $646,154 on credit default swaps to buy protection.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had no such credit default swap agreements outstanding.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.

 

28      OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL INCOME FUND/VA


 

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued)

 

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund. For OTC options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform.

To reduce counterparty risk with respect to OTC transactions, the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.

ISDA master agreements include credit related contingent features which allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for cleared swaps.

With respect to cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund or the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

As of December 31, 2013, investments in securities included issues that are restricted. A restricted security may have a contractual restriction on its resale and is valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. Securities that are restricted are marked with an applicable footnote on the Statement of Investments. Restricted securities are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments.

 

 

8. Acquisition of Total Return Portfolio

On April 26, 2012, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Total Return Portfolio at fair market value, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Total Return Portfolio shareholders on April 20, 2012. The purpose of this acquisition is to combine two funds with similar investment objectives, strategies and risks to allow shareholders to benefit from greater asset growth potential, as well as lowered total expenses. The transaction qualified as a tax-free reorganization, (the “merger”) for federal income tax purposes allowing the Fund to use the original cost basis of the investments received to calculate subsequent gains and losses for tax reporting purposes.

9. Pending Litigation

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

9. Pending Litigation (Continued)

On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On January 7, 2014, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.

OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund/VA formerly, Oppenheimer Balanced Fund/VA (a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund/VA as of December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION      Unaudited

 

 

In early 2014, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2013.

Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 29.73% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADIVSORY AGREEMENTS      Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Agreements. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Sub-Adviser’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers are responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Managers also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Krishna Memani and Magnus Krantz, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other moderate allocation funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its performance category median during the three-year period and slightly underperformed during the one-year period. The Board also noted that the Fund underperformed its performance category median during the five- and ten-year periods. The Board noted the appointment on April 1, 2009 of a new portfolio manager for the Fund and of the head of the Investment Grade Fixed Income Team to oversee the Fund’s investments.

Costs of Services by the Adviser. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other moderate allocation funds underlying variable insurance products. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds to those of retail funds, it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual management fee was higher than its respective peer group median and category median. Within the total asset range of $250 million to $500 million, the Fund’s effective rate was higher than its peer group median and category median. The Board considered that the Fund’s total expenses after waivers were lower than its peer group median and category median. The Board noted that the Manager has contractually agreed to waive a portion of the management fee so that total annual fund operating expenses will not exceed 0.67% of average annual net assets for Non-Service Shares and 0.92% of average annual net assets for Service Shares. This contractual expense limitation may not be amended or withdrawn until one year after the date of the Fund’s prospectus.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information regarding the Managers’ costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers’ profitability from their relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Managers may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates and research provided to the Adviser in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through August 31, 2014. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a total return of 29.74% during the one-year reporting period ended December 31, 2013, underperforming the Russell 1000 Growth Index (the “Index”), which returned 33.48%. The Fund’s underperformance stemmed primarily from weaker relative stock selection in the information technology, energy and consumer discretionary sectors. The Fund outperformed the Index in financials and industrials due to stronger relative stock selection. In addition, an overweight position in health care and not holding any investments in telecommunication services benefited relative performance this period. The Fund also underperformed the S&P 500 Index, which returned 32.39%.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Equities in the U.S. and developed markets throughout the world delivered strong performance in 2013. Accommodative monetary policies on the part of central banks in the U.S., Europe and Japan, combined with supportive equity valuations relative to bonds, were instrumental in this performance. Signs that the U.S. economy was on the mend, demonstrated by rising house prices, also helped sentiment toward stocks. While equities performed well for the year, numerous concerns remained. Namely, in late May, remarks by Federal Reserve (“Fed”) chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to back away from their quantitative easing program sooner than expected, sparking heightened volatility in financial markets throughout the world. Additionally, fears began to creep into the market about a possible slowdown in the world’s emerging economies. However, market conditions generally stabilized over the summer of 2013. While the Fed unexpectedly refrained from reducing its monthly bond purchases in September, in December, the Central Bank announced that it would reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, from $85 billion to $75 billion, starting in January 2014. The Fed also announced that it would continue to hold short-term interest rates at very low levels until unemployment in the United States subsided below 6.5%. This was lower than its earlier 7% target.

TOP INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS

During the reporting period, the top performing stock holding for the Fund was Google, Inc. Google, the leading internet search engine, benefited from momentum in its continued campaign to enhance price utilization for its mobile searches. While the company has struggled with declining mobile premiums, it staved off a dent in revenue by selling more ads at a faster rate. The volume of clicks on advertisements climbed at the fastest pace in 2013, compensating for a drop in average-ad prices.

    Also contributing positively to performance were health care stocks Biogen Idec, Inc. and Vertex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and consumer discretionary holding The Walt Disney Co. Biogen Idec is a global biotechnology company that benefited from strong sales of its multiple-sclerosis treatment Tecfidera. Vertex Pharmaceuticals, a developer of small molecule pharmaceuticals for multiple diseases, released data on a compound that it was developing that showed robust benefits for cystic fibrosis patients. This positive data also boosted optimism around the entire platform of cystic fibrosis drugs that Vertex is developing. Walt Disney produces movies, television programs, musical recordings, books, magazines, and merchandise for entertainment and education. It also operates distribution channels such as television networks, theme parks, hotels, cruise lines, retail stores and classrooms. The company’s major investments in a new cruise ship and multiple amusement park upgrades in 2012 started to pay off in 2013.

TOP INDIVIDUAL DETRACTORS

Detractors from performance this period included information technology stocks Teradata Corp., Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp. and VMware, Inc. Teradata, a provider of analytic data solutions through its database management service, warned third quarter results would miss analysts’ expectations and cut its full-year outlook, saying sales were weak outside the U.S. and Europe. Management noted that international macro challenges were delaying some opportunities. Cognizant Technology Solutions is a multinational information technology, consulting and business process outsourcing company that experienced declines in April. VMware, a provider for server virtualization software, suffered from concerns that the company was losing market share in its core server virtualization market. We exited all three stocks during the reporting period.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

The Fund continues to operate with the philosophy that long-term market outperformance can be achieved by investing in a managed portfolio of high quality growth stocks. We combine strategic top-down sector analysis with bottom up fundamental research, focusing on high quality companies with historically consistent growth and capital discipline.

    Uncertainty about the Eurozone crisis, questions regarding the collateral impact of the reduction of the Federal Reserve’s “Quantitative Easing” program, and the risk of deceleration in China continues to weigh on the global economy. The U.S. economy remains resilient, but continues to grow at a below normal expansionary pace and with subpar labor participation. The U.S. economy has been supported by strong productivity gains, low structural energy costs and a relatively attractive currency. Looking forward, we expect the U.S. economy to retain many of these issues and for the markets to reward those companies

demonstrating consistent quality, growth, and innovation. We expect that companies with capital discipline, strong management, and sustainable competitive advantages have the greatest prospects for outperformance over time.

Investors should consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor or calling us at 1.800.988.8287. Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2013. Performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period for both Classes. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.

    The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 1000 Growth Index. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks intended to be a representative sample of leading companies in leading industries within the U.S. economy. The Russell 1000 Growth Index measures the performance of the large-cap growth segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth values. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios            

Non-Service shares

     0.81%             

Service shares

     1.07                

The expense ratios reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, unless approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.

Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2013 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS      Continued

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

2. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.

Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.

Security Type           Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors

Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-

backed and asset-backed securities

         Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors.
Loans          Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Event-linked bonds          Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the

 

16    OPPENHEIMER CAPITAL APPRECIATION FUND/VA


 

value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

     0.60                    Over $200 million      0.60           
           Over $1 billion      0.58           

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $ 39,301 and $ 23,164 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively.

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $7,871 for IMMF management fees.

Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.

6. Pending Litigation

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On January 7, 2014, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.

OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA (a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund/VA as of December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADIVSORY AGREEMENTS    Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Agreements. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Sub-Adviser’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio manager and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers are responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Managers also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Michael Kotlarz, the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other large growth funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund underperformed its category median during the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board considered the Fund’s improved performance over the one- and three-year periods but noted that in 2012, a number of holdings with international exposure in the portfolio, particularly in the consumer discretionary sector, came under selling pressure due mostly to concerns about a weakening global economy. The Board further noted that the Fund is positioned more towards high quality growth names than other funds in its performance category, which detracted from relative performance.

Costs of Services by the Adviser. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other large growth funds underlying variable insurance products. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds to those of retail funds, it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board considered that the Fund’s total expenses were higher than its peer group median and equal to its category median and its contractual management fees were lower than its peer group median and category median. Within the total asset range of $500 million to $1 billion, the Fund’s effective rate was higher than its peer group median and category median. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow. Based on the Board’s evaluation, the Managers agreed to a revised

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADIVSORY AGREEMENTS    Unaudited /Continued

 

breakpoint schedule as negotiated by the Board that, effective November 2013, includes an additional fee breakpoint of 0.58% for assets in excess of $1 billion.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates and research provided to the Adviser in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through August 31, 2014. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

The percentages above are based on the market value of the Fund’s securities as of December 31, 2013, and are subject to change. Except for securities labeled “Unrated” and except for certain securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign sovereign, all securities have been rated by at least one Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”), such as Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”). For securities rated only by an NRSRO other than S&P, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) converts that rating to the equivalent S&P rating. If two or more NRSROs have assigned a rating to a security, the highest S&P equivalent rating is used. Unrated securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign sovereign are assigned a credit rating equal to the highest NRSRO rating assigned to that foreign sovereign. For securities not rated by an NRSRO, the Sub-Adviser uses its own credit analysis to assign ratings in categories similar to those of S&P. The use of similar categories is not an indication that the sub-adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with any NRSRO’s process were that NRSRO to rate the same security. Fund assets invested in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund are assigned that fund’s S&P rating, which is currently AAA. For the purposes of this table, “investment-grade” securities are securities rated within the NRSROs’ four highest rating categories (AAA, AA, A and BBB). Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be the equivalent of investment-grade. Please consult the Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for further information.

Fund Performance Discussion

In what was a volatile period for fixed-income markets, the Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a total return of -0.10% during the one-year reporting period ended December 31, 2013. On a relative basis, the Fund outperformed the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Barclays Credit Index and the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade Bond Index, which returned -2.02%, -2.01% and -2.04%, respectively.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Accommodative monetary policies on the part of central banks in the U.S., Europe and Japan, combined with an improving economic outlook, resulted in a rally among risk equities and higher-yielding bonds over the first four months of 2013. At the same time, yields of U.S. government securities remained near historical lows due to the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed’s”) massive bond buying program. These developments drove financial markets higher through the early spring of 2013. At that time, economic data appeared to confirm that the United States, Europe and Japan had engineered a sustained economic rebound, but investors responded negatively to disappointing economic data from China, India, Brazil, and other emerging markets. The ensuing “flight to quality” toward traditional safe havens produced sharp dislocations in emerging equity, fixed-income and currency markets. In late May, relatively hawkish remarks by Fed chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to back away from their quantitative easing program sooner than expected, sparking heightened volatility in financial markets throughout the world. However, market conditions generally stabilized over the summer of 2013. In October, the U.S. Congress managed to reach a bipartisan agreement to raise the national debt ceiling, and did so well ahead of the potential default deadline. While the Fed unexpectedly refrained from reducing its monthly bond purchases in September, in December the Central Bank announced that it would reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, from $85 billion to $75 billion, starting in January 2014. The Fed also announced that it would continue to hold short-term interest rates at very low levels until unemployment in the United States subsided below 6.5%. This was lower than its earlier 7% target.

FUND REVIEW

During the reporting period, we remained significantly underweight government bonds and favored corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities and structured products. This positioning benefited the Fund’s relative performance during the period, as higher-yielding fixed income sectors outperformed the performance of U.S. Treasuries. Our exposure to corporate bonds produced positive results this period and was a primary outperformer to relative performance. Within the corporate bond allocation, an overweight to the financial sector was beneficial to performance as a review of the sector by Moody’s in November resulted in a positive outcome for many banks that were at risk of losing their investment grade rating. The Fund also benefited from a modest allocation to high yield bonds which saw significant spread compression throughout the year.

The Fund’s investments in non-agency mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”), commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) and asset backed securities (“ABS”) also benefited performance for the one-year period. However, our allocation to agency MBS produced slight negative results. Before the Fed’s comments on tapering in May, we started reducing our position in agency MBS since we felt they were vulnerable to policy changes. This decision helped limit their negative impact on the Fund when interest rates rose and volatility in the mortgage market increased over the second half of the reporting period.

OUTLOOK

As the markets have successfully digested the first round of tapering by the Fed and the government shutdown is firmly behind us, we believe there is increasingly reason for optimism. By historical standards, central banks around the globe are executing exceedingly loose monetary policy, which provides plenty of liquidity to the markets. While U.S. growth continues to be a bright spot, we are beginning to see signs that growth within Europe may be turning the corner. And while it may be clear that China’s growth trajectory is slowing, we believe policymakers have the situation in hand and the probability of a hard landing is still quite low.

In such an environment, we remain constructive on credit spreads as the markets become less concerned about potentially negative global macroeconomic events, and instead focus on the fundamental strength of corporate balance sheets. In a “yield-starved” domestic fixed income market dominated by U.S. Treasuries hovering at near historic lows, the case for corporate bonds, mortgage-backed securities and structured products remains compelling. Generally, our preference is to maintain a carry, or yield advantage, in the context of this environment. Given current conditions, the additional carry of the Fund may potentially help returns even if spreads remain at their current levels.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. and its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2013. Performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period for both Classes. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Citigroup Broad Investment Grade (“BIG”) Bond Index, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the Barclays Credit Index. The Citigroup BIG Bond Index is an index of institutionally traded U.S. Treasury Bonds, government-sponsored bonds, mortgage-backed securities and corporate securities. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index of U.S. corporate and government bonds. The Barclays Credit Index is an index of non-convertible U.S. investment grade corporate bonds. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Expenses

 

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios  

Non-Service shares

     0.75%         

Service shares

     1.00           

The expense ratios reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, unless approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

3. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security.

4. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $3,406,942 or 2.25% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2013.

5. Interest rate is less than 0.0005%.

6. Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows. These securities amount to $195,500 or 0.13% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2013.

7. The current amortization rate of the security’s cost basis exceeds the future interest payments currently estimated to be received. Both the amortization rate and interest payments are contingent on future mortgage pre-payment speeds and are therefore subject to change.

8. All or a portion of the security position is when-issued or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after December 31, 2013. See Note 1 of the accompanying Notes.

9. This security is not accruing income because the issuer has missed an interest payment on it and/or is not anticipated to make future interest and or principal payments. The rate shown is the original contractual interest rate. See Note 1 of the accompanying Notes.

10. All or a portion of the security position is held in accounts at a futures clearing merchant and pledged to cover margin requirements on open futures contracts and written options on futures, if applicable. The aggregate market value of such securities is $264,888. See Note 6 of the accompanying Notes.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS    December 31, 2013

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s main investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.

As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:

    

When-Issued or Delayed Delivery

Basis Transactions

 

 

 

Purchased securities

     $37,714,448   

Sold securities

     6,368,779   

The Fund may enter into “forward roll” transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.

Forward roll transactions may be deemed to entail embedded leverage since the Fund purchases mortgage-related securities with extended settlement dates rather than paying for the securities under a normal settlement cycle. This embedded leverage increases the Fund’s market value of investments relative to its net assets which can incrementally increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Forward roll transactions can be replicated over multiple settlement periods.

Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; and counterparty credit risk.

Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities that have missed an interest payment, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers or underlying obligors subsequently miss an interest payment. Information concerning securities not accruing interest as of December 31, 2013 is as follows:

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

4. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $5,945,207 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

2. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.

Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

Structured securities, swaps, swaptions, and other over-the-counter derivatives are valued utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.

Security Type    Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities    Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors.
Loans    Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Event-linked bonds    Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Swaps    Relevant market information, including underlying reference assets such as credit spreads, credit event probabilities, index values, individual security values, forward interest rates, variable interest rates, volatility measures, and forward currency rates.

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

 Fee Schedule       

 

 

Up to $1 billion

     0.60%    

Over $1 billion

     0.50       

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service shares and 1.00% for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $30,085 and $17,129 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively.

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $23,282 for IMMF management fees.

Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.

 

 

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments

The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.

Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors:

 

24        OPPENHEIMER CORE BOND FUND/VA


 

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued)

 

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products. 

Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. Futures contracts and options thereon are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value in an account registered in the futures commission merchant’s name. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the futures commission merchant each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the futures commission merchant can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations.

Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various bonds and notes to increase exposure to interest rate risk.

The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $9,548,821 and $31,000,638 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.

Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, the price or volatility of asset or non-asset references, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Swaps can be executed in a bi-lateral

privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction (“OTC swaps”) or executed on a regulated market. Certain swaps, regardless of the venue of their execution, are required to be cleared through a clearinghouse (“cleared swaps”). Swap contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit default, currency, and volatility swaps.

Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Daily changes in the value of cleared swaps are reported as variation margin receivable or payable on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The values of OTC swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund, if any, at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.

Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference rate or asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps have embedded leverage, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on a debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a corporate issuer, sovereign issuer, or a basket or index of issuers (the “reference asset”).

The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.

The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.

If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the swap less the market value of specified debt securities issued by the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between such value and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.

The Fund has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/or indexes of issuers.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $569,231 on credit default swaps to buy protection.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

As of December 3, 2013, the Fund had no such credit default swap agreements outstanding.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund. For OTC options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform.

      To reduce counterparty risk with respect to OTC transactions, the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.

ISDA master agreements include credit related contingent features which allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for cleared swaps.

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued) 

 

With respect to cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund or the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

8. Pending Litigation

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and

former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On January 7, 2014, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.

OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS    Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Agreements. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Sub-Adviser’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers are responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Managers also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Krishna Memani and Peter Strzalkowski, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other intermediate-term bond funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its performance category median during the one-year and three-year periods, although it underperformed for the five- and ten-year periods. The Board also considered the appointment of a new portfolio manager on April 1, 2009, and it considered the Manager’s assertion that the Investment Grade Fixed Income Team has been repositioning the portfolio gradually to better take advantage of changing market conditions. The Board considered the Fund’s recent improved performance in light of those changes, ranking in the first quintile of its performance category for the one- and three-year periods.

    Costs of Services by the Adviser. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other intermediate-term bond funds underlying variable insurance products. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds to those of retail funds, it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board considered that the Fund’s total expenses were above its peer group median and category median. The Fund’s contractual management fee was higher than its peer group median and its category median. Within the total asset range of $100 million to $250 million, the Fund’s effective rate was higher than its peer group median and category median. The Board considered that the Manager has voluntarily agreed to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed that annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service Shares and 1.00% for Service Shares. This voluntary expense limitation may be amended or withdrawn at any time without prior notice to shareholders.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information regarding the Managers’ costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers’ profitability from their relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Managers may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates. The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through August 31, 2014. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a total return of 27.31% during the one-year reporting period ended December 31, 2013, outperforming the MSCI All Country World Index (the “Index’), which returned 22.80% over the same period. Every sector made a positive contribution to the Fund’s absolute performance; meaningful contributions came from holdings in the information technology, health care, industrials and consumer discretionary sectors. The Fund also outperformed the MSCI World Index, which returned 26.68%. The Fund changed its benchmark from the MSCI World Index to the MSCI All Country World Index, which it believes is a more appropriate measure of the Fund’s opportunity set.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Global equities, especially those in the developed markets, delivered strong performance in 2013. Accommodative monetary policies on the part of central banks in the U.S., Europe and Japan, combined with supportive equity valuations relative to bonds, have been instrumental in this performance. Signs that the world’s largest economy, the U.S., was on the mend, demonstrated by rising house prices, also helped sentiment towards stocks. Mid-year, comments from the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) suggesting that the aggressive quantitative easing (“QE”) policy would be “tapered” in the foreseeable future, led to significant sell-offs in both stocks and bonds. However, market conditions generally stabilized over the summer of 2013. While the Fed refrained from reducing its monthly bond purchases in September, in December, the Central Bank announced that it would reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, from $85 billion to $75 billion, starting in January 2014. The Fed also announced that it would continue to hold short-term interest rates at very low levels until unemployment in the United States subsided below 6.5%. This was lower than its earlier 7% target. Emerging markets equities had mixed results, with inflation concerns in a variety of markets, slower-than-expected growth and policy orientations toward a more redistributive stance hurting performance. A further recognition that emerging markets have greater structural volatility than the developed world was evidenced in a reduction in price-earnings ratios.

Many concerns still abound, as they always do. Worries around Europe, the fragility of the recovery in the U.S., the potential success or lack thereof of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s stimulus policies in Japan (commonly referred to as Abenomics), and a permanent slowdown in China’s growth are all top of mind currently. Our focus remains on the long term. While temporary perturbations in currency markets or asset markets may lead others to reconsider their investment stances, we remain solidly concentrated on the characteristics and trends that we believe allow our companies to thrive in a myriad of environments. As long as the economics of their businesses are robust and the price we are paying for them undervalues current earnings and significantly discounts future prospects, we are undisturbed.

TOP INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS

The top contributors to performance this period were Airbus Group NV, Google, Inc., The Walt Disney Co. and WellPoint, Inc. Airbus Group was formerly known as EADS, European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co. In July, the company changed its name to Airbus, which is also its main and by far most profitable product. The market for larger airplanes above 150 seats is a duopoly comprising Boeing and Airbus. Persistently high fuel prices combined with the increase in travel demand from the emerging markets makes for a good environment for growth in new, more fuel efficient, aircraft sales. Airbus has been very successful in driving orders for its new-engined A-320/1 NEO aircraft and its larger A-350 aircraft. In addition, management moved to meaningfully reduce exposure to the defense sector, announcing that it will be closing defense equipment production facilities and retiring and reassigning staff to the more profitable civilian business. The market reacted favorably to this strategy.

Google is the world’s most prevalent Internet search engine. When the company announced third-quarter earnings, investors reacted very positively, sending the stock higher. Revenue growth was strong, volumes increased and margins widened. Google continues to benefit from its market dominance in search and continues to explore new applications.

Walt Disney produces movies, television programs, musical recordings, books, magazines, and merchandise for entertainment and education. It also operates distribution channels such as television networks, theme parks, hotels, cruise lines, retail stores and classrooms. In our opinion, this company has no peer. It has unique, iconic intellectual property assets, many channels through which to monetize them and high optionality potential to create more of both. The company’s major investments in a new cruise ship and multiple amusement park upgrades in 2012 have started to pay off in 2013. In addition, the stock performed well as investors focused on the value of content in the broadcast and internet segments of the consumer discretionary sector.

WellPoint is a North American health insurance company. The early concern that the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as “Obamacare”) would supplant the private insurance market has not come to pass. Moreover, in a consolidating industry, WellPoint’s scale and cost advantage we believe should enable it to be one of the few survivors. Buying power is ever more important given the passing of Obamacare. And, with baby boomers entering the age of 65 and over, we believe WellPoint’s revenues should increase, as that demographic has higher premiums.

The most significant detractors from performance this period were Fusion-io, Inc., DLF Ltd. and Technip SA. Fusion-io produces flash-enabled server accelerator cards, which allow servers to better process information in real-time. The company also has a unique software portfolio that may obviate the traditional disk array model for storage. The stock experienced volatility due partly to a management transition. We believe that the data storage market will increasingly move toward solid state technology and that Fusion-io’s intellectual property in the area is a competitive advantage. DLF is the largest and highest-quality real estate developer in the National Capital Region (NCR) of India. Tightening monetary policy and the weaker Indian Rupee have served to hurt near-term real estate demand. Over the longer term, demand for housing outstrips supply by a long way, given the various restrictions and hurdles to property development in the area. DLF’s assets are unmatched in location and quality and they are a preferred developer at the high end in the Delhi area. We believe that this makes for an attractive business that is now available at an even better price.

Technip is a niche supplier of critical parts and services to the oil and gas industry. It is one of the three world leaders in underwater construction of oil and gas production facilities. It is also the world’s largest manufacturer of flexible pipe and the world leader in the liquefaction of natural gas. During the reporting period, Technip reduced margin guidance for its subsea segment for 2014. In addition, one of its two major competitors in the subsea construction field announced disappointing earnings on the back of customer disputes. Both announcements affected Technip’s share price negatively. In our opinion, Technip is the best-in-class supplier of critical niche services to key areas of the oil and gas industry and we believe it is poised to benefit from the world’s continuing demand for energy.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

Regardless of whether we are in a fast or a slow growth world, we believe the companies in the Fund have the potential to grow above the general rate of the economies in which they operate by virtue of the secular currents driving them and their advantages globally. We have a long-term investment horizon and build the portfolio from the bottom up, focusing on businesses advantaged by long-term trends. We invest in companies that we believe are capable of producing solid and sustainable growth through the business cycle, that have made strong returns on invested capital, and that demonstrate good cash flow generation characteristics. We are patient investors and we aim to wait for those companies to be out of favor so they are reasonably priced when we buy.

As we enter 2014, most developed market equity valuations look reasonable to us, despite their recent strong performance, and emerging market valuations are becoming more so. There is still a significant amount of money sitting in bank accounts throughout the world. Developed equity markets may continue to benefit from the net inflows that began last year. Emerging equity markets may resume their recovery that began in the middle of last year. Alternatively, profit taking and risk aversion could affect markets negatively.

We simply cannot predict investor sentiment and market movements. That is why we focus on bottom-up, long-term stock selection. Our experience leads us to believe that longer-term outperformers will continue to be high quality companies within industries that are being driven by secular growth trends and that have the franchise strength, dominant market position and financial flexibility to profit from those growth opportunities. These companies also tend to have management commitment to apply those profits to the benefit of shareholders.

Investors should consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor or calling us at 1.800.988.8287. Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2013. In the case of Non-Service shares, Service shares and Class 3 shares, performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period. In the case of Class 4 shares, performance is measured from inception of the class on May 3, 2004. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the MSCI All Country World Index, a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets and the MSCI World Index, an index of issuers listed on the stock exchanges of foreign countries and the United States. It is widely recognized as a measure of global stock market performance. The Fund has changed its benchmark from the MSCI World Index to the MSCI All Country World Index, which it believes is a more appropriate measure of the Fund’s performance. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios     

Non-Service shares

       0.77 %    

Service shares

       1.03      

Class 3 shares

       0.77      

Class 4 shares

       1.03      

The expense ratios reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, unless approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS      December 31, 2013

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Global Fund/VA (the “Fund”), formerly Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA, a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers Non-Service, Service, Class 3 and Class 4 shares. All classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The classes of shares being designated as Service shares and Class 4 shares are subject to a distribution and service plan. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. The Fund assesses a 1% fee on the proceeds of Class 3 and Class 4 shares that are redeemed (either by selling or exchanging to another Oppenheimer fund or other investment option offered through your variable life insurance or variable annuity contract) within 60 days of their purchase. The fee, which is retained by the Fund, is accounted for as an addition to paid-in capital.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.

Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

1. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund utilized $9,934,353 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

2. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $9,221,730 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2013 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Certain foreign countries impose a tax on capital gains which is accrued by the Fund based on unrealized appreciation, if any, on affected securities. The tax is paid when the gain is realized.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

 

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

2. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.

Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.

Security Type    Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities    Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors.
Loans    Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Event-linked bonds    Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

 

materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares and Class 4 Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares and Class 4 shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares and Class 4 shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares and Class 4 shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares and Class 4 shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares and Class 4 shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 1.00% for Non-Service and Class 3 shares and 1.25% for Service and Class 4 shares.

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $12,585 for IMMF management fees.

Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.

 

 

6. Pending Litigation

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants

6. Pending Litigation (Continued)

 

in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On January 7, 2014, the appellate court dismissed the trial court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.

OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Global Fund/VA, formerly, Oppenheimer Global Securities Fund/VA (a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Global Fund/VA as of December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION    Unaudited

 

 

In early 2014, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2013.

Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 43.38% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.

The Fund has elected the application of Section 853 of the Internal Revenue Code to permit shareholders to take a federal income tax credit or deduction, at their option, on a per share basis. The maximum amount allowable but not less than $4,558,675 of foreign income taxes were paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. A separate notice will be mailed to each shareholder, which will reflect the proportionate share of such foreign taxes which must be treated by shareholders as gross income for federal income tax purposes.

Gross income of the maximum amount allowable but not less than $27,253,326 was derived from sources within foreign countries or possessions of the United States.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS    Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Agreements. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers. Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Sub-Adviser’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio manager and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers are responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Managers also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Rajeev Bhaman, the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other world stock funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its performance category median during the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund ranked in the second quintile of its performance category for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods.

Costs of Services by the Adviser.  The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other world stock funds underlying variable insurance products. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds to those of retail funds, it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board considered that the Fund’s total expenses were lower than its peer group median and its category median. The Board also considered that the Fund’s contractual management fee was lower than its respective peer group median and category median. Within the total asset range of $2 billion to $5 billion, the Fund’s effective rate was lower than its peer group median and category median. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 1.00% for Non-Service and Class 3 shares and 1.25% for Service and Class 4 shares. This voluntary expense limitation may be amended or withdrawn at any time without prior notice to shareholders.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow. Based on the Board’s evaluation, the Managers agreed to a revised breakpoint schedule as negotiated by the Board that, effective November 1, 2013, includes an additional fee breakpoint of 0.58% for assets in excess of $5 billion.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates and research provided to the Adviser in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through August 31, 2014. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

Fund Performance Discussion

 

The Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a total return of 31.77% during the one-year reporting period ended December 31, 2013, underperforming the S&P 500 Index, which returned 32.39% during the same period. The Fund outperformed the Index largely in the financials sector, where stronger relative stock selection benefited. Stronger relative stock selection in the industrials sector and an overweight position in the health care sector also benefited the Fund this period. Underperforming sectors for the Fund relative to the Index included consumer discretionary and information technology. The Fund underperformed in consumer discretionary due to less favorable stock selection and an underweight position, and in information technology, where weaker stock selection and an overweight position detracted.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Equities in the U.S. and developed markets throughout the world delivered strong performance in 2013. Accommodative monetary policies on the part of central banks in the U.S., Europe and Japan, combined with supportive equity valuations relative to bonds, were instrumental in this performance. Signs that the U.S. economy was on the mend, demonstrated by rising house prices, also helped sentiment toward stocks. While equities performed well for the year, numerous concerns remained. Namely, in late May, relatively hawkish remarks by Fed chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to back away from their quantitative easing program sooner than expected, sparking heightened volatility in financial markets throughout the world. Additionally, fears began to creep into the market about a possible slowdown in the world’s emerging economies. However, market conditions generally stabilized over the summer of 2013. While the Fed unexpectedly refrained from reducing its monthly bond purchases in September, in December, the Central Bank announced that it would reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, from $85 billion to $75 billion, starting in January 2014. The Fed also announced that it would continue to hold short-term interest rates at very low levels until unemployment in the United States subsided below 6.5%. This was lower than its earlier 7% target.

Top contributors to performance this period included Actavis plc, financial stocks JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Citigroup, Inc., Towers Watson & Co. and Facebook, Inc. Actavis is a branded and generic drug company whose shares spiked when management announced it was combining operations with Warner Chilcott – a leading specialty pharmaceutical company based in Ireland. The merged entity is expected to benefit from revenue synergies, with complementary product lines, and cost rationalization – both of which we believe have the potential to contribute to rising profits. The merger would also allow the company to reincorporate in Ireland, which could result in a significantly lower tax rate that would provide the potential not only to boost profits, but also cash generation.

The financials sector was the strongest performing sector for the Fund on both an absolute basis and relative to the Index. The ongoing, albeit modest, improvement in the economy – largely driven by the continued health of the housing sector – has led to lower foreclosures, increased credit quality, and rising demand for mortgages. As a result, stocks of many banks have benefited, including JPMorgan Chase and Citigroup. JPMorgan Chase also benefited from improved investor sentiment. During the period, management announced several litigation and regulatory settlements that largely address the overhang of “headline” risk that has plagued the stock. Although the total settlement sum is large in absolute terms, it is less than the dollar amount currently reserved for on JPMorgan’s balance sheet.

Towers Watson is a human resources consulting firm providing services related to employee benefits, talent management, rewards and risks and capital management. The company released strong financial results this reporting period. Over the second half of the period, social media giant Facebook reported strong quarterly results and answered concerns over its ability to deliver advertising via mobile devices as its mobile business grew. We exited our position in Facebook by period end as it had reached our estimate of fair value.

TOP INDIVIDUAL DETRACTORS

Top detractors from performance this period included America Movil SAB de CV, International Business Machines Corp. (“IBM”) and Apple, Inc. America Movil is a mobile carrier in Latin America. The Mexican government announced a reform proposal designed to create more competition, increase access to services, and reduce prices in the Mexican telecom sector. IBM reported disappointing revenues and earnings over the second quarter of 2013, due in part to delayed signings of new software and hardware bookings. A stronger dollar also negatively impacted top line growth. We exited our position. Apple hurt performance due in part to investor fears regarding the vitality of the high end smartphone market. However, Apple performed better over the closing months as a slightly better than consensus earnings outcome, a successful roll-out of the new iPad, and continued growth of iPhone 5S sales all contributed favorably to the stock. Additionally, the long awaited deal to sell iPhones through China Mobile – the world’s largest mobile operator – was finally announced.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

Despite the high absolute dollar value of most market indices, stocks, generally, do not appear overvalued. While there may be pockets of overvaluation – specifically, high expectation stocks that have outperformed may be poised to take a breather – we believe there are still opportunities to identify attractively valued names. In particular, returns of higher-quality stocks (as measured by S&P Quality Ratings) have lagged since the market’s inflection in March 2009. Some of the factors that have aided higher returns of lower-quality stocks – namely, the Fed’s easy money policies – are nearing an end. This may favor higher quality stocks as investors once again focus on the importance of fundamentals. The “wild card” for 2014 remains just how far interest rates rise. Expectations are for rates to increase, but if they rise faster or farther than expectations, stocks could be in for a volatile ride.

Our approach remains consistent. We aim to construct an “all weather” portfolio by targeting companies we believe have: 1) sustainable competitive advantages; 2) skilled management with a proven track record of executing effectively; and 3) financial resources to generate improving profitability, gain market share, and/or return significant capital to shareholders. During times of volatile or slow economic growth such companies frequently widen their lead over weaker competitors. We seek to invest in companies, characterized by these qualities, at compelling valuations and believe this disciplined approach is essential in seeking to generate superior long-term performance.

Investors should consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor or calling us at 1.800.988.8287. Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2013. Performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period for both Classes. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index, an index of large-capitalization equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market. The Index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

Fund Expenses

 

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios     

Non-Service shares

   0.78%    

Service shares

The expense ratios reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, unless approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS   December 31, 2013

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.

Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had $7,541,964 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. Details of the capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryovers with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates.

Of these losses, $7,541,964 are subject to loss limitation rules resulting from merger activity. These limitations generally reduce the utilization of these losses to a maximum of $2,513,988 per year.

2. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund utilized $198,916,700 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

3. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $171,760,057 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from

cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

2. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.

Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.

Security Type   Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities   Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors.
Loans   Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Event-linked bonds   Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $197 for Non-Service shares.

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $14,792 for IMMF management fees.

Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.

 

 

6. Acquisition of Growth Portfolio

On April 26, 2012, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Growth Portfolio, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Growth Portfolio shareholders on April 20, 2012. The purpose of this acquisition is to combine two funds with similar investment objectives, strategies and risks to allow shareholders to benefit from greater asset growth potential, as well as lowered total expenses. The transaction qualified as a tax-free reorganization, (the “merger”) for federal income tax purposes allowing the Fund to use the original cost basis of the investments received to calculate subsequent gains and losses for tax reporting purposes. Details of the merger are shown in the following table:

7. Pending Litigation

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On

7. Pending Litigation (Continued)

April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On January 7, 2014, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.

OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA (a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Main Street Fund/VA as of December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION    Unaudited

 

 

In early 2014, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2013.

Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 100% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS    Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Agreements. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Sub-Adviser’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers are responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Managers also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Manind Govil and Benjamin Ram, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other large blend funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its performance category median during the one-, three- and five-year periods but underperformed for the ten-year period.

Costs of Services by the Adviser. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other large blend funds underlying variable insurance products. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds to those of retail funds, it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual management fee was higher than its peer group median but lower than its category median. Its total expenses were higher than its respective peer group median and category median. Within the total asset range of $1 billion to $2 billion, the Fund’s effective rate was higher than its peer group median and category median. The Board noted that the Manager has voluntarily agreed to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This voluntary expense limitation may be amended or withdrawn at any time without prior notice to shareholders.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow. Based on the Board’s evaluation, the Managers agreed to a revised breakpoint schedule as negotiated by the Board that, effective November 1, 2013, includes an additional fee breakpoint of 0.58% for assets in excess of $1 billion.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates and research provided to the Adviser in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through August 31, 2014. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a total return of 41.01% during the one-year reporting period ended December 31, 2013, outperforming the Russell 2000 Index (the “Index”), which returned 38.82% during the same period. The Fund outperformed the Index in eight out of ten sectors, led by stronger relative stock selection in the financials, energy, health care and consumer staples sectors. The Fund underperformed the Index in the information technology and consumer discretionary sectors due primarily to less favorable stock selection.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Equities in the U.S. and developed markets throughout the world delivered strong performance in 2013. Accommodative monetary policies on the part of central banks in the U.S., Europe and Japan, combined with supportive equity valuations relative to bonds, were instrumental in this performance. Signs that the U.S. economy was on the mend, demonstrated by rising house prices, also helped sentiment toward stocks. While equities performed well for the year, numerous concerns remained. Namely, in late May, relatively hawkish remarks by Fed chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to back away from their quantitative easing program sooner than expected, sparking heightened volatility in financial markets throughout the world. Additionally, fears began to creep into the market about a possible slowdown in the world’s emerging economies. However, market conditions generally stabilized over the summer of 2013. While the Fed unexpectedly refrained from reducing its monthly bond purchases in September, in December, the Central Bank announced that it would reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, from $85 billion to $75 billion, starting in January 2014. The Fed also announced that it would continue to hold short-term interest rates at very low levels until unemployment in the United States subsided below 6.5%. This was lower than its earlier 7% target.

TOP INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS

During the period, top contributors to performance included financial stocks Financial Engines, Inc., CapitalSource, Inc., consumer staples stock Nu Skin Enterprises, Inc. and health care stock Santarus, Inc. Financial Engines is a provider of investment advice and portfolio management to defined contribution plans. The company reported strong results as new products such as the Income+ program, which has been well received by customers aged 60 and over, regulatory tailwinds, and favorable demographic trends have all worked in the company’s favor. CapitalSource is a commercial lender to small and middle market businesses. PacWest Bancorp. announced plans to acquire the company in July 2013 and shares rallied. Nu Skin Enterprises is a direct seller of personal care products and nutritional supplements. The company announced strong earnings growth driven by recruitment gains and a successful roll-out of its new weight management system. We lowered exposure towards the end of the year as strong price appreciation drove the stock close to our estimate of fair valuation. Shortly after the close of the year, we fully exited the position due to the announcement of an investigation into Nu Skin’s business practices in China which could negatively impact the firm’s growth trajectory and financial results. Santarus is a biopharmaceutical company that announced it was being acquired by Salix Pharmaceuticals in November 2013. The announcement benefited shares of Santarus.

TOP INDIVIDUAL DETRACTORS

Detractors from performance this period included information technology stocks Aruba Networks, Inc. and Fortinet, Inc., and financials stock Hatteras Financial Corp. Over the first half of the period, fundamentals of many technology companies suffered from the macroeconomic headwinds that impacted enterprise spending. Networking company Aruba Networks’ earnings growth may have also been hurt due to discounting by competitor Cisco Systems. Lackluster enterprise spending, particularly by service providers, resulted in a billings miss for Fortinet, a provider of network security solutions.

Hatteras Financial, a REIT focused on investing in mortgage-backed securities guaranteed by the U.S. Government and government sponsored agencies, reported disappointing earnings during the third quarter. The firm’s book value decreased as its investment portfolio fell in value to a greater extent than expected, driven by the increase in interest rates following the Fed’s remarks about the potential tapering of its quantitative easing program. We exited our positions in Aruba Networks and Hatteras Financial during the period.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

Despite the high absolute dollar value of most market indices, stocks, generally, do not appear overvalued. While there may be pockets of overvaluation – specifically, high expectation stocks which have outperformed may be poised to take a breather – we believe there are still opportunities to identify attractively valued names. In particular, returns of higher-quality stocks (as measured by S&P Quality Ratings) have lagged since the market’s inflection in March 2009. Some of the factors that have aided higher returns of lower-quality stocks – namely, the Fed’s easy money policies – are nearing an end. This may favor higher quality stocks as investors once again focus on the importance of fundamentals. Additionally, we believe smaller cap stocks should benefit from increasingly robust IPO and mergers & acquisitions activity — leading to greater access to capital for growth. The “wild card” for 2014 remains just how far interest rates rise. Expectations are for rates to increase, but if they rise faster or farther than expectations, stocks could be in for a volatile ride.

    Given this backdrop, our approach remains consistent. We aim to construct an “all weather” portfolio by targeting companies we believe have: 1) sustainable competitive advantages; 2) skilled management with a proven track record of executing effectively; and 3) financial resources to generate improving profitability, gain market share, and/or return significant cash to shareholders. During times of volatility or slow economic growth, such companies frequently widen their lead over weaker competitors. We seek to invest in companies, characterized by these qualities, at compelling valuations and believe this disciplined approach is essential in seeking to generate superior long-term performance.

Investors should consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor or calling us at 1.800.988.8287. Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2013. Performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period for both Classes. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.

    The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Russell 2000 Index and the Russell 2500 Index. The Russell 2000 Index is an index of equity securities of small capitalization companies that is a measure of the small company market. The Russell 2500 Index is a broad-based index featuring 2,500 stocks of companies with small- and mid-cap market capitalizations. The Fund has changed its benchmark from the Russell 2500 Index to the Russell 2000 Index, which it believes is a more appropriate measure of the Fund’s performance. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios     

Non-Service shares

   0.80%    

Service shares

The expense ratios reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, unless approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA (the “Fund”), formerly Oppenheimer Main Street Small- & Mid-Cap Fund/VA, is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek capital appreciation. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

$80,727,808

  $ 81,837,229        $      $ 301,833,225   

1. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.

2. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund utilized $81,263,761 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was as follows:

      Year Ended

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2013 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Net unrealized appreciation

   $ 301,833,225   
  

 

 

 

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

2. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

    The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.

    The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

    Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.

    Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

    Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.

    Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.

 

Security Type   Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities   Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors.

Loans

  Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.

Event-linked bonds

  Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

    To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $7,972 for Non-Service shares and $38,076 for Service shares, respectively.

    The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $24,404 for IMMF management fees.

    Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.

 

 

6. Pending Litigation

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

6. Pending Litigation (Continued)

    Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

    On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On January 7, 2014, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.

    OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA, formerly, Oppenheimer Main Street Small & Mid-Cap Fund/VA (a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

    We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

    In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund/VA as of December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION         Unaudited

 

 

 

In early 2014, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2013.

    Capital gain distributions of $0.29198 per share were paid to Non-Service and Service shareholders, respectively, on June 19, 2013. Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of the capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains).

    Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 8.97% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.

    The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADIVSORY AGREEMENTS Unaudited

 

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Agreements. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

    The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

    Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

    Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Sub-Adviser’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers are responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Managers also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

    The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Matthew Ziehl, Raymond Anello, Raman Vardharaj, Joy Budzinski, Kristin Ketner Pak, Magnus Krantz and Adam Weiner, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.

    Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other small blend funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its performance category median for the one-, three-, five- and ten-year periods.

    Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other small blend funds underlying variable insurance products. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds to those of retail funds, it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual management fee and its total expenses were lower than its respective peer group median and category median. Within the total asset range of $500 million to $1 billion, the Fund’s effective rate was lower than its peer group median and category median. The Board also considered that the Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This contractual expense limitation may not be amended or withdrawn until one year after the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

 

22    OPPENHEIMER MAIN STREET SMALL CAP FUND/VA


 

    Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow. Based on the Board’s evaluation, the Managers agreed to a revised breakpoint schedule as negotiated by the Board that, effective November 2013, includes an additional fee breakpoint of 0.58% for assets in excess of $1 billion.

    Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates and research provided to the Adviser in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

    Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

The performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. Yields include dividends in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The yields take into account voluntary fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, without which yields would have been lower. Some of these undertakings may be modified at any time, as indicated in the prospectus. There is no guarantee that the Fund will maintain a positive yield. The Fund’s performance should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s performance does not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

Fund Performance Discussion

 

Although a sustained U.S. economic recovery and expectations of a more moderately accommodative monetary policy drove longer-term interest rates higher over the reporting period, short-term rates remained relatively unchanged. As they have been since December 2008, money market yields stayed anchored by the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed”) target for the overnight federal funds rate of between 0% and 0.25%.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Over the first half of the reporting period, the U.S. economy rebounded from earlier weakness as the unemployment rate declined, housing markets recovered, and manufacturing activity increased. These economic gains came on the heels of the launch of a new, open-ended round of quantitative easing involving monthly purchases of $85 billion of U.S. government securities. This program from the Fed was designed to add liquidity to the banking system and stimulate higher levels of economic growth.

In May 2013, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated in public remarks that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to back away from its bond purchasing program sooner than most analysts had expected. Financial markets throughout the world reacted to these relatively hawkish comments with heightened volatility, causing stocks to lose value and longer-term interest rates to climb sharply. Indeed, investors’ revised expectations of stronger economic growth gained credence when the U.S. Department of Congress announced that U.S. GDP had expanded at a 2.5% annualized rate over the second quarter of the year, up from 1.1% in the first quarter. Moreover, June saw robust increases in home and automobile sales, expansions of the manufacturing and service sectors, and the creation of new 195,000 jobs.

Financial markets generally stabilized over the summer when investors came to recognize that the Fed’s plans to taper its quantitative easing program did not necessarily portend imminent increases in short-term interest rates. Still, labor markets continued to strengthen. In October, the U.S. Congress managed to reach a bipartisan agreement to raise the national debt ceiling, and did so well ahead of the potential default deadline. While the Fed unexpectedly refrained from reducing its monthly bond purchases in September, in December, the Central Bank announced that it would reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, from $85 billion to $75 billion, starting in January 2014. The Fed also announced that it would continue to hold short-term interest rates at very low levels until unemployment in the United States subsided below 6.5%. This was lower than its earlier 7% target. Against this backdrop, investors continued to commit new capital to global equity markets.

FUND PERFORMANCE

In spite of heightened volatility at the longer end of the bond market’s maturity range, the Fund continued to generate consistent and competitive levels of current income, albeit at levels commensurate with the Fed’s unchanged target for the federal funds rate. In addition, money market supply continues to be constrained as issuers look to lock in relatively cheap term financing further out on the yield curve. This puts additional downward pressure on money market yields.

In this environment, we maintained the Fund’s weighted average maturity in a range we considered to be in line with market averages. From a portfolio composition perspective, we continued to avoid repurchase agreements due to uncertainty surrounding potential regulatory changes. Instead, we primarily favored commercial paper issued by global banks that meet our stringent credit criteria.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

In light of recently positive economic data, we continue to expect the Fed to taper its quantitative easing program in the relatively near future. Nonetheless, we believe that the Fed will maintain its current target for short-term interest rates for some time to come, and money market yields could remain near current levels for much of 2014. Meanwhile, the outlook for U.S. fiscal and regulatory policies remained uncertain as of the reporting period’s end, suggesting to us that the appropriate strategy is to continue to focus on quality and liquidity. Therefore, we currently intend to maintain a roughly market-neutral weighted average maturity, and we expect to continue to focus on high-quality instruments from fundamentally strong issuers.

An investment in the Fund 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.

Investors should consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor or calling us at 1.800.988.8287. Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Fund Expenses

 

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). The annualized expense ratio, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2013 is as follows:

 

Expense Ratio     
0 .20%  

The expense ratio reflects contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, unless approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Financial Highlights” table in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also shows the gross expense ratio, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2013

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA (the “Fund”), a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek income consistent with stability of principal. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years for federal income tax purposes.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Distributions paid from:

     

Ordinary income

   $ 24,504       $ 17,102   

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually but may be paid at other times to maintain the net asset value per share at $1.00.

Investment Income. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian

expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

2. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. If amortized cost is determined not to approximate market value, the fair value of the portfolio securities will be determined under procedures approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

Fee Schedule

        

Up to $500 million

     0.450

Next $500 million

     0.425   

Next $500 million

     0.400   

Over $1.5 billion

     0.375   

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has voluntarily undertaken to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to assist the Fund in attempting to maintain a positive yield. There is no guarantee that the Fund will maintain a positive yield. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $692,526.

The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.50%.

Effective April 30, 2013, the Manager is permitted to recapture previously waived and/or reimbursed fees in any given fiscal year if the recapture would not: 1) cause the Fund to generate a negative daily yield, and 2) exceed amounts previously waived and/or reimbursed under this arrangement during the current and prior three fiscal years. The reimbursement to the Manager of such previous waivers and reimbursements would not include any portion of distribution and/or service fees. As of December 31, 2013, the following waived and/or reimbursed amounts are eligible for recapture:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

The Manager has not recaptured any previously waived and/or reimbursed amounts during the year ended December 31, 2013.

Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.

 

 

5. Pending Litigation

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On ``April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On January 7, 2014, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.

OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA (a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Money Fund/VA as of December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADIVSORY AGREEMENTS    Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Agreements. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Sub-Adviser’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers are responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Managers also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Christopher Proctor and Adam Wilde, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other money market tax-free funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its performance category median during the one-, three-, five-, and ten-year periods.

Costs of Services by the Adviser. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other money market tax-free funds underlying variable insurance products. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds to those of retail funds, it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board considered that the Fund’s contractual management fee was equal to its peer group median but higher than its category median. Within the total asset range of $100 million to $250 million, the Fund’s effective rate was higher than its peer group median and category median. The Board also considered that the Fund’s total expenses, after waivers, were higher than its peer group median and category median. The Board noted that the Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as a percentage of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.50%. This contractual fee waiver and/or reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn until one year after the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board. The Board also considered that the Manager voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse fees to the extent necessary to help to attempt to maintain a positive yield although there is no guarantee that the Fund will maintain a positive yield. This voluntary expense limitation may be amended or withdrawn at any time without prior notice to shareholders.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information regarding the Managers’ costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers’ profitability from their relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Managers may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates. The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through August 31, 2014. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

The percentages above are based on the market value of the Fund’s securities as of December 31, 2013, and are subject to change. Except for securities labeled “Unrated,” and except for certain securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign sovereign, all securities have been rated by at least one Nationally Recognized Statistical Rating Organization (“NRSRO”), such as Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”). For securities rated only by an NRSRO other than S&P, OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Sub-Adviser”) converts that rating to the equivalent S&P rating. If two or more NRSROs have assigned a rating to a security, the highest S&P equivalent rating is used. Unrated securities issued or guaranteed by a foreign sovereign are assigned a credit rating equal to the highest NRSRO rating assigned to that foreign sovereign. For securities not rated by an NRSRO, the Sub-Adviser uses its own credit analysis to assign ratings in categories similar to those of S&P. The use of similar categories is not an indication that the Sub-Adviser’s credit analysis process is consistent or comparable with any NRSRO’s process were that NRSRO to rate the same security. Fund assets invested in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund are assigned that fund’s S&P rating, which is currently AAA. For the purposes of this table, “investment-grade” securities are securities rated within the NRSROs’ four highest rating categories (AAA, AA, A and BBB). Unrated securities do not necessarily indicate low credit quality, and may or may not be the equivalent of investment-grade. Please consult the Fund’s prospectus and Statement of Additional Information for further information.

Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a total return of -0.13% during the one-year reporting period ended December 31, 2013. In comparison, the Fund’s Reference Index, a customized weighted index currently comprised of the following underlying broad-based security indices: 40% Citigroup Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index, 30% JPMorgan Domestic High Yield Index, and 30% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, returned -0.04%. Relative strength from the Fund’s investments in high yield bonds was balanced primarily by shortfalls among emerging markets bonds, as economic slowdowns in developing nations produced selling pressure in local fixed-income markets.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Accommodative monetary policies on the part of central banks in the U.S., Europe and Japan, combined with an improving economic outlook, resulted in a rally among risk equities and higher-yielding bonds over the first four months of 2013. Higher-yielding bonds generally rallied in response to an improving economic outlook. U.S. high yield bonds fared particularly well, as investors reached for higher yields in the low interest rate environment, corporate issuers continued to report strong earnings, and default rates remained low. At the same time, yields of U.S. government securities remained near historical lows due to the Fed’s massive bond buying program. In international markets, sovereign bonds from Europe gained value as it became clearer that the worst of the region’s debt and banking crises were likely behind it. The improved economic outlook also buoyed corporate bonds in emerging markets, such as Russia and China. U.S. dollar-denominated securities outperformed their local currency-denominated counterparts as governments in Japan and Europe took steps to reduce the value of the yen and euro, respectively, relative to the U.S. dollar.

These developments drove financial markets higher through the spring of 2013. At that time, economic data appeared to confirm that the United States, Europe and Japan had engineered a sustained economic rebound, but investors responded negatively to disappointing economic data from China, India, Brazil, and other emerging markets. The ensuing “flight to quality” toward traditional safe havens produced sharp dislocations in emerging market equity, fixed-income and currency markets. In late May, relatively hawkish remarks by Fed chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to back away from their quantitative easing program sooner than expected, sparking heightened volatility in financial markets throughout the world. However, market conditions generally stabilized over the summer of 2013. In October, the U.S. Congress managed to reach a bipartisan agreement to raise the national debt ceiling, and did so well ahead of the potential default deadline. While the Fed unexpectedly refrained from reducing its monthly bond purchases in September, in December the Central Bank announced that it would reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, from $85 billion to $75 billion, starting in January 2014. The Fed also announced that it would continue to hold short-term interest rates at very low levels until unemployment in the United States subsided below 6.5%. This was lower than its earlier 7% target. Despite the reduction in monthly bond purchases, the markets continued to rally through the end of the year.

FUND REVIEW

The Fund generally maintained a constructive investment posture throughout the reporting period, maintaining an overweight position in credit risk through investments in international bonds and high yield securities. The Fund generally maintained underweight exposure to U.S. government securities and foreign currencies.

As it has for some time, the Fund’s international portfolio had a large allocation to emerging markets. This positioning hurt the Fund’s relative performance when interest rates in the emerging markets climbed amid selling pressure from newly risk-averse investors. Although we had reduced the Fund’s holdings of Brazilian debt securities over the reporting period’s first half, even a small position proved counterproductive over the second half when local economic and fiscal concerns intensified. Bonds from Mexico and South Africa detracted from relative results to a lesser extent.

In contrast, underweight exposure to foreign currencies contributed positively to the Fund’s results. The Fund maintained no exposure to the euro and yen over the reporting period’s second half, avoiding the brunt of their weakness. In addition, the Fund benefited from positions in non-sovereign European debt, including corporate securities, asset-backed securities, and bank loans.

In the Fund’s investment grade U.S. bond portfolio, we remained significantly underweight government bonds and favored mortgage-backed securities and structured products. This positioning was beneficial during the period. While our investments in mortgage-backed securities contributed positively to performance in 2013, we reduced our mortgage exposure during the period due to our belief there is limited potential for further price appreciation and our expectations for interest rates to rise slowly over time. We used those proceeds to add a position in senior loans.

The Fund’s high yield portfolio benefited from overweight exposure and an emphasis on securities with credit ratings toward the lower end of the market’s quality spectrum. Bonds backed by wireless telecommunications carriers and broadcasters bolstered results early in the year. The Fund also benefited from positions in senior floating-rate bank loans at times during the reporting period.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

We believe the global economy is likely to perform better in 2014. The U.S. economy is strengthening, and as it does, we expect rates to climb slowly higher over time. We also believe the U.S. dollar has the potential to strengthen. Consequently, we have an overweight at period end to credit. While we did reduce our position in emerging markets debt, the Fund still has a large position in the asset class. The relative spreads between emerging markets and U.S. high yield bonds indicate to us that emerging markets may be a good place to generate attractive returns. We are also positive on European credit and have increased our exposure. As mentioned earlier, we also reduced our position in mortgages this period.

Additionally, we have reduced the Fund’s duration in preparation for the next phase of the interest-rate cycle. We expect rates to continue rising for several years, and as a result, we expect to be short duration for quite some time.

Investors should consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing.

Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2013. Performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period for both Classes. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, the Citigroup World Government Bond Index, the Citigroup Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index, JPMorgan Domestic High Yield Index and its Reference Index. The Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an index of U.S dollar-denominated, investment-grade U.S. corporate government and mortgage-backed securities. The Citigroup World Government Bond Index is an index of debt securities of major foreign government bond markets. The Citigroup Non-U.S. World Government Bond Index is an index of fixed rate government bonds with a maturity of one year or longer and amounts outstanding of at least U.S. $25 million. The JPMorgan Domestic High Yield Index is an unmanaged index of high yield fixed income securities issued by developed countries. 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% JPMorgan Domestic High Yield Index, and 30% Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Service shares

     1,000.00         1,020.27             5.00                        

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios                  

Non-Service shares

     0.73%                

Service shares

     0.98                   

The expense ratios reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, unless approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

4. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. These securities typically decline in price as interest rates decline. Most other fixed income securities increase in price when interest rates decline. The principal amount of the underlying pool represents the notional amount on which current interest is calculated. The price of these securities is typically more sensitive to changes in prepayment rates than traditional mortgage-backed securities (for example, GNMA pass-throughs). Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing and amount of future cash flows. These securities amount to $5,987,673 or 0.24% of the Fund’s net assets as of December 31, 2013.

5. Interest rate is less than 0.0005%.

6. The current amortization rate of the security’s cost basis exceeds the future interest payments currently estimated to be received. Both the amortization rate and interest payments are contingent on future mortgage pre-payment speeds and are therefore subject to change.

7. All or a portion of the security position is when-issued or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after December 31, 2013. See Note 1 of the accompanying Consolidated Notes.

8. This security is not accruing income because the issuer has missed an interest payment on it and/or is not anticipated to make future interest and or principal payments. The rate shown is the original contractual interest rate. See Note 1 of the accompanying Consolidated Notes.

9. Zero coupon bond reflects effective yield on the date of purchase.

10. All or a portion of the security position is held in segregated accounts and pledged to cover margin requirements under certain derivative contracts. The aggregate market value of such securities is $3,670,265. See Note 6 of the accompanying Consolidated Notes.

11. Denotes an inflation-index security: coupon or principal are indexed to a consumer price index.

12. Interest or dividend is paid-in-kind, when applicable.

13. This bond has no contractual maturity date, is not redeemable and contractually pays an indefinite stream of interest. Rate reported represents the current interest rate for this variable rate security.

14. Non-income producing security.

15. All or a portion of the security position is held in accounts at a futures clearing merchant and pledged to cover margin requirements on open futures contracts and written options on futures, if applicable. The aggregate market value of such securities is $3,595,147. See Note 6 of the accompanying Consolidated Notes.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  December 31, 2013

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s main investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Change in Method of Accounting. The accompanying financial statements reflect the financial position of the Fund and its Subsidiary and the results of operations on a consolidated basis. Prior to June 28, 2013, the Subsidiary was shown as an investment of the Fund on the Statement of Investments and the financial statements of the Subsidiary were presented along with the Fund. The staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission has recently commented on their preference to have wholly-owned Cayman investment funds consolidated into the parent fund’s financial statements. Management of the Fund implemented the change in policy because it is a more effective method of providing transparency into the Fund’s holdings and operations. Accordingly, as a result of the change in method of accounting, the Fund consolidates the assets and liabilities as well as the operations of the Subsidiary within its financial statements. The result of the policy change did not have an impact on total net assets of the Fund, however it resulted in the following changes to the financial statements. As of the beginning of the Fund’s fiscal period, the financial statement line items on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities were affected by the change as follows: cash increased $1,455,203; payables and other liabilities increased $20,236 and investments at value, wholly-owned subsidiary decreased $1,434,967. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the financial statement line items on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Changes in Net Assets were affected by the change as follows: net investment income includes a net investment loss from the Subsidiary of $44,838. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the following changes were made to the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Net Assets: net investment income decreased $47,552 and net change in unrealized appreciation increased by $47,552. The changes to the Consolidated Financial Highlights were immaterial.

Structured Securities. The Fund invests in structured securities whose market values, interest rates and/or redemption prices are linked to the performance of underlying foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, stock market indices, prices of individual securities, commodities or other financial instruments or the occurrence of other specific events. The structured securities are often leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s market value relative to the change in the underlying linked financial element or event. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured security is sold or matures.

Securities on a When-Issued or Delayed Delivery Basis. The Fund may purchase securities on a “when-issued” basis, and may purchase or sell securities on a “delayed delivery” basis. “When-issued” or “delayed delivery” refers to securities whose terms and indenture are available and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate delivery. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a when-issued basis normally takes place within six months and possibly as long as two years or more after the trade date. During this period, such securities do not earn interest, are subject to market fluctuation and may increase or decrease in value prior to their delivery. The purchase of securities on a when-issued basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund executes such transactions while remaining substantially fully invested. When the Fund engages in when-issued or delayed delivery transactions, it relies on the buyer or seller, as the case may be, to complete the transaction. Their failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity to obtain or dispose of the security at a price and yield it considers advantageous. The Fund may also sell securities that it purchased on a when-issued basis or forward commitment prior to settlement of the original purchase.

As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had purchased securities issued on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis and sold securities issued on a delayed delivery basis as follows:

 

     When-Issued or
Delayed Delivery
Basis Transactions
 

 

 

Purchased securities

     $113,411,571   

Sold securities

     16,310,026   

The Fund may enter into “forward roll” transactions with respect to mortgage-related securities. In this type of transaction, the Fund sells a mortgage-related security to a buyer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security (same type, coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. During the period between the sale and the repurchase, the Fund will not be entitled to receive interest and principal payments on the securities that have been sold. The Fund records the incremental difference between the forward purchase and sale of each forward roll as realized gain (loss) on investments or as fee income in the case of such transactions that have an associated fee in lieu of a difference in the forward purchase and sale price.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS      Continued

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Forward roll transactions may be deemed to entail embedded leverage since the Fund purchases mortgage-related securities with extended settlement dates rather than paying for the securities under a normal settlement cycle. This embedded leverage increases the Fund’s market value of investments relative to its net assets which can incrementally increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. Forward roll transactions can be replicated over multiple settlement periods.

Risks of entering into forward roll transactions include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the agreement; the potential of the Fund to receive inferior securities at redelivery as compared to the securities sold to the counterparty; and counterparty credit risk.

Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield, non-investment-grade bonds, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest or principal payments or both as they become due. The Fund may acquire securities that have missed an interest payment, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers or underlying obligors subsequently miss an interest payment. Information concerning securities not accruing interest as of December 31, 2013 is as follows:

 

Cost

     $14,336,764   

Market Value

     $512,683   

Market value as % of Net Assets

     0.02%   

Sovereign Debt Risk. The Fund invests in sovereign debt securities, which are subject to certain special risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the risk that a governmental entity may delay or refuse, or otherwise be unable, to pay interest or repay the principal on its sovereign debt. There may also be no legal process for collecting sovereign debt that a government does not pay or bankruptcy proceedings through which all or part of such sovereign debt may be collected. In addition, a restructuring or default of sovereign debt may also cause additional impacts to the financial markets, such as downgrades to credit ratings, reduced liquidity and increased volatility, among others.

Investment in Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund (Cayman) Ltd. The Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund (Cayman) Ltd., a wholly-owned and controlled Cayman Islands subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”). The Subsidiary invests primarily in commodity-linked derivatives (including commodity related futures, options and swap contracts), exchange traded funds and certain fixed-income securities and other investments that may serve as margin or collateral for its derivatives positions. Investments in the Subsidiary are expected to provide the Fund with exposure to commodities markets within the limitations of the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions and guidelines, and follows the same compliance policies and procedures, as the Fund. The Fund wholly owns and controls the Subsidiary, and the Fund and Subsidiary are both managed by the Manager. The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated.

For tax purposes, the Subsidiary is an exempted Cayman investment company. The Subsidiary has received an undertaking from the Government of the Cayman Islands exempting it from all local income, profits and capital gains taxes through September of 2030. No such taxes are levied in the Cayman Islands at the present time. For U.S. income tax purposes, the Subsidiary is a Controlled Foreign Corporation and as such is not subject to U.S. income tax. However, as a wholly-owned Controlled Foreign Corporation, the Subsidiary’s net income and capital gain, to the extent of its earnings and profits, will be included each year in the Fund’s investment company taxable income. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Subsidiary has a deficit of $44,838 in its taxable earnings and profits. In addition, any in-kind capital contributions made by the Fund to the Subsidiary will result in the Fund recognizing taxable gain to the extent of unrealized gain, if any, on securities transferred to the Subsidiary while any unrealized losses on securities so transferred will not be recognized at the time of transfer.

The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. At December 31, 2013, the Fund owned 15,000 shares with a market value of $1,390,129.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Investment in Oppenheimer Master Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in entities sponsored and/or advised by the Manager or an affiliate. Certain of these entities in which the Fund invests are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC and Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC (the “Master Funds”). Each Master Fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Master Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Master Fund.

The investment objective of Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC is to seek as high a level of current income and preservation of capital as is consistent with investing primarily in loans and other debt securities. The investment objective of Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC is to seek a high level of current income principally derived from interest on debt securities. The Fund’s investments in the Master Funds are included in the

 

42      OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL STRATEGIC INCOME FUND/VA


 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Consolidated Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain/(loss) on its investments in each Master Fund according to its allocated pro-rata share, based on its relative proportion of total outstanding Master Fund shares held, of the total net income earned and the net gain/(loss) realized on investments sold by the Master Funds. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Master Funds’ expenses, including their management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in the Master Funds.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.

Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

Of these losses, $10,018,470 are subject to Sec. 382 loss limitation rules resulting from merger activity. These limitations generally reduce the utilization of these losses to a maximum of $3,339,490 per year.

2. The Fund had $235,525 of straddle losses which were deferred.

3. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund utilized $3,174,670 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.

4. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

2. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.

Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers. 

Structured securities, swaps, swaptions, and other over-the-counter derivatives are valued utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward currency rates obtained from third party pricing services. When the settlement date of a contract is an interim date for which a quotation is not available, interpolated values are derived using the nearest dated forward currency rate.

Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.

 

Security Type   Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities   Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors.
Loans   Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Event-linked bonds   Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Structured securities   Relevant market information such as the price of underlying financial instruments, stock market indices, foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, commodities, or the occurrence of other specific events.
Swaps   Relevant market information, including underlying reference assets such as credit spreads, credit event probabilities, index values, individual security values, forward interest rates, variable interest rates, volatility measures, and forward currency rates.

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

(a) Securities classified as Level 3 whose unadjusted values were provided by a pricing service or broker-dealer for which such inputs are unobservable. The Manager periodically reviews pricing vendor and broker methodologies and inputs to confirm they are determined using unobservable inputs and have been appropriately classified. Such securities’ fair valuations could change significantly based on changes in unobservable inputs used by the pricing service or broker.

(b) The Fund fair values certain cash distributions to be received as a result of a merger on common stock held using discounts to reflect the uncertainty of the future anticipated distributions. The Manager monitors such investments for additional market information or the occurrence of a significant event which would warrant a re-evaluation of the security’s fair valuation. A significant increase (decrease) in the future distribution amount, or a significant increase (decrease) to the probability of payment rate, will result in a significant increase (decrease) to the fair value of the investment.

(c) The Fund fair values certain structured securities using a discount to the legal fees that have been withheld for litigation. A significant increase (decrease) to the estimated probability of cash flows resulting from the litigation proceedings will result in a significant increase (decrease) to the value of the investment.

The Manager also provides investment management related services to the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary pays the Manager a monthly management fee at an annual rate according to the above schedule. The Subsidiary also pays certain other expenses including custody and directors’ fees.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fees paid to the Sub-Adviser are paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service shares and 1.00% for Service shares.

The Manager has contractually agreed to waive the management fee it receives from the Fund in an amount equal to the management fee it receives from the Subsidiary. This undertaking will continue in effect for so long as the Fund invests in the Subsidiary and may not be terminated unless approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived $10,567.

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF, Oppenheimer Ultra-Short Duration Fund and the Master Funds. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $626,736 for IMMF management fees.

Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.

 

 

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments

The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS      Continued

 

 

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued)

 

return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.

Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products. 

Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date. Such contracts are traded in the OTC inter-bank currency dealer market.

Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable (or payable) and in the Consolidated Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to take a positive investment perspective on the related currency. These forward contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by the Fund.

The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to take a negative investment perspective on the related currency. These forward contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by the Fund.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had daily average contract amounts on forward contracts to buy and sell of $386,123,324 and $719,427,740, respectively.

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued)

 

Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty to a forward contract will default and fail to perform its obligations to the Fund.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. Futures contracts and options thereon are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value in an account registered in the futures commission merchant’s name. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the futures commission merchant each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the futures commission merchant can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations.

Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Securities held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Cash held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various bonds and notes to increase exposure to interest rate risk.

The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.

The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various equity indexes to increase exposure to equity risk.

The Fund has sold futures contracts on various equity indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk.

The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various currencies to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

The Fund has sold futures contracts on various currencies to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

The Fund has sold futures contracts, which have values that are linked to the price movement of the related volatility indexes, in order to decrease exposure to volatility risk.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $161,911,816 and $322,693,569 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.

Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Option Activity

The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security, currency or other underlying financial instrument at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.

Options can be traded through an exchange or through a privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded through an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse (such as The Options Clearing Corporation). The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund has purchased call options on currencies to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A purchased call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.

The Fund has purchased put options on currencies to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A purchased put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

The Fund has purchased call options on treasury and/or euro futures to increase exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.

The Fund has purchased put options on treasury and/or euro futures to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $1,412,133 and $335,772 on purchased call options and purchased put options, respectively.

Options written, if any, are reported in a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities held in collateral accounts to cover potential obligations with respect to outstanding written options are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments.

The risk in writing a call option is that the market price of the security increases and if the option is exercised, the Fund must either purchase the security at a higher price for delivery or, if the Fund owns the underlying security, give up the opportunity for profit. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a

premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.

The Fund has written put options on currencies to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.

The Fund has written call options on currencies to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

The Fund has written call options on treasury and/or euro futures to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. A written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

The Fund has written put options on treasury and/or euro futures to increase exposure to interest rate risk. A written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $355,823 and $848,248 on written call options and written put options, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, the price or volatility of asset or non-asset references, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Swaps can be executed in a bi-lateral privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction (“OTC swaps”) or executed on a regulated market. Certain swaps, regardless of the venue of their execution, are required to be cleared through a clearinghouse (“cleared swaps”). Swap contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit default, currency, and volatility swaps.

Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Daily changes in the value of cleared swaps are reported as variation margin receivable or payable on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The values of OTC swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund, if any, at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference rate or asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps have embedded leverage, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.

Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on a debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a corporate issuer, sovereign issuer, or a basket or index of issuers (the “reference asset”).

The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.

The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.

If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the swap less the market value of specified debt securities issued by the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the

difference between such value and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to increase exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/or indexes of issuers that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market.

The Fund has purchased credit protection through credit default swaps to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/or indexes of issuers.

The Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same reference asset but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $19,982,295 and $12,165,396 on credit default swaps to buy protection and credit default swaps to sell protection, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified floating interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.

The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments received by the Fund.

The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments received by the Fund under the swap agreement will be greater than the payments made by the Fund.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $50,292,598 and $114,889,632 on interest rate swaps which pay a fixed rate and interest rate swaps which receive a fixed rate, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on the value of asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities or securities index). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.

Total return swap contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying financial instrument or index. Total return swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and can isolate and/or include multiple types of market risk factors including equity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk.

The Fund has entered into total return swaps on various equity securities or indexes to increase exposure to equity risk. These equity risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay a floating reference interest rate, and an amount equal to the negative price movement of securities or an index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract. The Fund will receive payments equal to the positive price movement of the same securities or index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract and, in some cases, dividends paid on the securities.

The Fund has entered into total return swaps on various equity securities or indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk. These equity risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay an amount equal to the positive price movement of securities or an index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract and, in some cases, dividends paid on the securities. The Fund will receive payments of a floating reference interest rate and an amount equal to the negative price movement of the same securities or index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $20,287,797 and $13,379,714 on total return swaps which are long the reference asset and total return swaps which are short the reference asset, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had no such total return swap agreements outstanding.

Volatility Swap Contracts. A volatility swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on the measured volatility of a reference security, index, currency or other reference investment over a specified time frame. One cash flow is typically based on the realized volatility of the reference investment as measured by changes in its price or level over the specified time period while the other cash flow is based on a specified rate representing expected volatility for the reference investment at the time the swap is executed, or the measured volatility of a different reference investment over the specified time period. The appreciation or depreciation on a volatility swap will typically depend on the magnitude of the reference investment’s volatility, or size of the movements in its price, over the specified time period, rather than general directional increases or decreases in its price.

Volatility swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and provide pure, or isolated, exposure to volatility risk of the specific underlying reference investment. Volatility swaps are typically used to speculate on future volatility levels, to trade the spread between realized and expected volatility, or to decrease the volatility exposure of investments held by the Fund.

Variance swaps are a type of volatility swap where counterparties agree to exchange periodic payments based on the measured variance (or the volatility squared) of a reference security, index, or other reference investment over a specified time period. At payment date, a net cash flow will be

exchanged based on the difference between the realized variance of the reference investment over the specified time period and the specified rate representing expected variance for the reference investment at the time the swap is executed multiplied by the notional amount of the contract.

The Fund has entered into volatility swaps to increase exposure to the volatility risk of various reference investments. These types of volatility swaps require the Fund to pay the measured volatility and receive a fixed rate payment. If the measured volatility of the related reference investment increases over the period, the swaps will depreciate in value. Conversely, if the measured volatility of the related reference investment decreases over the period, the swaps will appreciate in value.

The Fund has entered into volatility swaps to decrease exposure to the volatility risk of various reference investments. These types of volatility swaps require the Fund to pay a fixed rate payment and receive the measured volatility. If the measured volatility of the related reference investment increases over the period, the swaps will appreciate in value. Conversely, if the measured volatility of the related reference investment decreases over the period, the swaps will depreciate in value.

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $166,220 and $177,344 on volatility swaps which pay measured volatility/variance and volatility swaps which receive measured volatility/variance, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had no such volatility swap agreements outstanding.

Swaption Transactions

The Fund may enter into a swaption contract which grants the purchaser the right, but not the obligation, to enter into a swap transaction at preset terms detailed in the underlying agreement within a specified period of time. The purchaser pays a premium to the swaption writer who bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset terms on the underlying swap.

Purchased swaptions are reported as a component of investments in the Consolidated Statement of Investments and the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Written swaptions are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments and their value is reported as a separate asset or liability line item in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation on written swaptions is separately reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When a swaption is exercised, the cost of the swap is adjusted by the amount of premium paid or received. Upon the expiration or closing of an unexercised swaption contract, a gain or loss is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the amount of the premium paid or received.

The Fund generally will incur a greater risk when it writes a swaption than when it purchases a swaption. When the Fund writes a swaption it will become obligated, upon exercise of the swaption, according to the terms of the underlying agreement. Swaption contracts written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk prior to exercise as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparty, to perform. When the Fund purchases a swaption it only risks losing the amount of the premium it paid if the swaption expires unexercised. However, when the Fund exercises a purchased swaption there is a risk that the counterparty will fail to perform or otherwise default on its obligations under the swaption contract.

The Fund purchased swaptions which gives it the option to enter into an interest rate swap in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased swaption of this type becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate decreases relative to the preset interest rate.

The Fund has purchased swaptions which gives it the option to enter into an interest rate swap in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. A purchased swaption of this type becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate increases relative to the preset interest rate.

The Fund has purchased swaptions which gives it the option to sell credit protection through credit default swaps in order to increase exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/ or indexes of issuers. A purchased swaption of this type becomes more valuable as the likelihood of a credit event on the reference asset decreases.

The Fund has purchased swaptions which gives it the option to buy credit protection through credit default swaps in order to decrease exposure to the credit risk of individual issuers and/or indexes of issuers. A purchased swaption of this type becomes more valuable as the likelihood of a credit event on the reference asset increases.

The Fund has written swaptions which gives it the obligation, if exercised by the purchaser, to enter into an interest rate swap in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. A written swaption of this type becomes more valuable as the reference interest rate decreases relative to the preset interest rate.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $5,208,861 and $6,332,060 on purchased and written swaptions, respectively.

Written swaption activity for the year ended December 31, 2013 was as follows:

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund. For OTC options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform.

To reduce counterparty risk with respect to OTC transactions, the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.

As of December 31, 2013, the Fund has required certain counterparties to post collateral of $12,147,197.

ISDA master agreements include credit related contingent features which allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for cleared swaps.

With respect to cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund or the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

8. Acquisition of Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA

On October 25, 2012, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA at a fair market value, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Oppenheimer High Income Fund/VA shareholders on September 14, 2012. The purpose of this acquisition is to combine two funds with similar investment objectives, strategies and risks to allow shareholders to benefit from greater asset growth potential as well as lowered total expenses.

The transaction qualified as a tax-free reorganization, (the “merger”) for federal income tax purposes allowing the Fund to use the original cost basis of the investments received to calculate subsequent gains and losses for tax reporting purposes.

9. Pending Litigation

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On January 7, 2014, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.

OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund/VA (a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds) and subsidiary, including the consolidated statement of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statement of operations for the year then ended, the consolidated statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the consolidated financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These consolidated financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund/VA and subsidiary as of December 31, 2013, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund /VA has elected to change its method of accounting for its investment in Oppenheimer Global Strategic Income Fund /VA (Cayman) Ltd., a wholly-owned investment company.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION    Unaudited

 

 

In early 2014, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2013.

Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 0.25% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS    Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Agreements. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Sub-Adviser’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers are responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Managers also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Arthur Steinmetz, Krishna Memani, Sara Zervos and Jack Brown, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other multisector bond funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board considered that the Fund outperformed its category median during the one-, three- and ten-year periods, although the Fund underperformed its category median during the five-year period. The Board also considered that for the one-year period the Fund’s performance was in the first quintile of its performance category.

Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other multisector bond funds underlying variable insurance products. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds to those of retail funds, it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board considered that the Fund’s total expenses were lower than its peer group median (after waivers) and lower than its category median. The Board also considered that the Fund’s contractual management fee was lower than its respective peer group median and category median. Within the total asset range of $2 billion to $5 billion, the Fund’s effective rate was lower than its peer group median and category median. The Board noted that the Manager has voluntarily agreed to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.75% for Non-Service Shares and 1.00% for Service Shares. This voluntary expense limitation may be amended or withdrawn at any time without prior notice to shareholders.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow. Based on the Board’s evaluation, the Managers agreed to a revised breakpoint schedule as negotiated by the Board that, effective November 2013, includes an additional fee breakpoint of 0.48% for assets in excess of $5 billion.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates. The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through August 31, 2014. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287.

The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account.

Fund Performance Discussion

 

The Fund’s Non-Service shares produced a total return of 28.93% during the one-year reporting period ended December 31, 2013, underperforming the Russell 1000 Value Index (the “Index”), which returned 32.53% during the same period. The Fund’s underperformance stemmed primarily from weaker relative stock selection in the information technology, health care, consumer discretionary and financials sectors. The Fund outperformed the Index in the consumer staples sector, where favorable stock selection benefited. During the reporting period, the Fund also underperformed the S&P 500 Index, which returned 32.39%.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Equities in the U.S. and developed markets throughout the world delivered strong performance in 2013. Accommodative monetary policies on the part of central banks in the U.S., Europe and Japan, combined with supportive equity valuations relative to bonds, were instrumental in this performance. Signs that the U.S. economy was on the mend, demonstrated by rising house prices, also helped sentiment toward stocks. While equities performed well for the year, numerous concerns remained. Namely, in late May, relatively hawkish remarks by Federal Reserve (“Fed”) chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to back away from their quantitative easing program sooner than expected, sparking heightened volatility in financial markets throughout the world. Additionally, fears began to creep into the market about a possible slowdown in the world’s emerging economies. However, market conditions generally stabilized over the summer of 2013. While the Fed unexpectedly refrained from reducing its monthly bond purchases in September, in December, the Central Bank announced that it would reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, from $85 billion to $75 billion, starting in January 2014. The Fed also announced that it would continue to hold short-term interest rates at very low levels until unemployment in the United States subsided below 6.5%. This was lower than its earlier 7% target.

TOP INDIVIDUAL CONTRIBUTORS

The Fund’s strongest performing holding during the reporting period was drug store operator Walgreen Co. In 2012, the company acquired a 45% stake in European pharmacy chain Alliance Boots. Synergies between the companies appeared strong during the period. Also benefiting performance were energy stock Chevron Corp. and numerous financial firms, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. and MetLife, Inc. Oil company Chevron’s stock was driven partly by higher refining profitability and a rise in upstream volumes. The financials sector in general performed well as the ongoing, albeit modest, improvement in the economy – largely driven by the continued health of the housing sector – has led to lower foreclosures, increased credit quality, and rising demand for mortgages. JPMorgan Chase also benefited from improved investor sentiment. Over the fourth quarter of 2013, management announced several litigation and regulatory settlements that largely addressed the overhang of “headline” risk that has plagued the stock. Although the total settlement sum is large in absolute terms, it is less than the dollar amount currently reserved for on JPMorgan’s balance sheet. Goldman Sachs saw an increase in underwriting services and its investment banking business performed solidly. Goldman Sachs also took a number of cost-cutting measures during the period. MetLife is a leading life insurance company that benefited from rising interest rates, which can potentially benefit future earnings. At period end, we continue to like MetLife due to its modest valuation and positive sensitivity to rising interest rates.

TOP INDIVIDUAL DETRACTORS

The most significant detractors from performance this reporting period were CYS Investments, Inc., NII Capital Corp. and CenturyLink, Inc. CYS Investments is an agency security real estate investment trust (REIT) that buys agency mortgage-backed securities and historically has had an above average dividend payout. While the recent increase in interest rates improves CYS’ ability to pay its dividend, it also hurts CYS’ book value as higher rates typically lead to lower bond prices. While book value may decline, we currently believe the recent sell off in the stock is overdone. NII Capital is a non-convertible corporate bond of NII Holdings, which is a holding company for the operations of Nextel Communications in select international markets. Our investment in NII Capital declined over the closing months of the period after NII Holdings announced job cuts and higher than anticipated subscriber losses in Mexico. CenturyLink is a leading telecom provider to both the rural market as well as enterprise customers. CenturyLink was perceived by the market to be one of the higher quality/safer high yielding telecommunications companies. Nevertheless, early in the period, the company decided to reduce its dividend to avoid any issues with the rating agencies. The company is redirecting the funds freed up from the cut toward share repurchases. However, the market was not pleased with the dividend cut and the stock declined sharply as a result.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

We are optimistic about the market as we look ahead to 2014. We expect the economy to continue to improve driven by an ongoing recovery in the housing market, still low interest rates and better consumer balance sheets. Corporate earnings should continue to grow in-line with an improving economy and dividends should increase in-line with earnings. We expect interest rates to grind higher during 2014 which should result in flat to negative returns for most fixed income asset classes and make equities look even more appealing. Wildcards remain, including the Middle East and Washington D.C., but overall we expect 2014 to be a good year for equities.

Investors should consider the Fund’s investment objective, risks, charges and expenses carefully before investing. The Fund’s prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor or calling us at 1.800.988.8287. Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

Total returns include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc. or its affiliates.

Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each share class of the Fund held until December 31, 2013. In the case of Non-Service shares, performance is measured over a ten-fiscal-year period. In the case of Service shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on September 18, 2006. Performance information does not reflect charges that apply to separate accounts investing in the Fund. If these charges were taken into account, performance would be lower. The graphs assume that all dividends and capital gains distributions were reinvested in additional shares.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Russell 1000 Value Index and the S&P 500 Index. The Russell 1000 Value Index measures the performance of the large-cap value segment of the U.S. equity universe. It includes those Russell 1000 companies with lower price-to-book ratios and lower expected growth values. The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index of 500 stocks intended to be a representative sample of leading companies in leading industries within the U.S. economy. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.

Fund Expenses

 

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire

6-month period ended December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended December 31, 2013 are as follows:

 

Class    Expense Ratios       

Non-Service shares

     0.80    

Service shares

     1.05       

The expense ratios reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, unless approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  December 31, 2013 

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund/VA (the “Fund”), formerly Oppenheimer Value Fund/VA, is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.

Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of December 31, 2013 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

2. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.

Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.

Security Type    Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities    Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors.

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

   $ 15,664,202          $ 13,642,125   

 

 

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

Fee Schedule        

Up to $200 million

     0.75%   

Next $200 million

     0.72      

Next $200 million

     0.69      

Next $200 million

     0.66      

Over $800 million

     0.60      

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  Continued

 

 

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service shares and 1.05% for Service shares. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $1,621 and $70,957 for Non-Service and Service shares, respectively.

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $198 for IMMF management fees.

Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.

 

 

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments

The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.

Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products. 

Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

Option Activity

The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security, currency or other underlying financial instrument at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.

Options can be traded through an exchange or through a privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded through an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse (such as The Options Clearing Corporation). The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or

 

20    OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND/VA


 

 

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued)

depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund has purchased put options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk. A purchased put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $7 on purchased put options.

Options written, if any, are reported in a schedule following the Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities held in collateral accounts to cover potential obligations with respect to outstanding written options are noted in the Statement of Investments.

The risk in writing a call option is that the market price of the security increases and if the option is exercised, the Fund must either purchase the security at a higher price for delivery or, if the Fund owns the underlying security, give up the opportunity for profit. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.

The Fund has written put options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to increase exposure to equity risk. A written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.

The Fund has written call options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk. A written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $729 and $1,292 on written call options and written put options, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Written option activity for the year ended December 31, 2013 was as follows:

     Call Options      Put Options  
      Number of Contracts      Amount of Premiums      Number of Contracts      Amount of Premiums

     25       $ 2,744        85       $ 6,599   
  

 

 

 

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for cleared swaps.

With respect to cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Statement of Investments.

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued)

Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

7. Pending Litigation

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On January 7, 2014, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.

7. Pending Litigation (Continued)

OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund/VA formerly, Oppenheimer Value Fund/VA (a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds), including the statement of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Equity Income Fund/VA as of December 31, 2013, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION  Unaudited

 

 

In early 2014, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2013.

Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 100% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADIVSORY AGREEMENTS  Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Agreements. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition to in-person meetings focused on this evaluation, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Adviser, Sub-Adviser and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Managers, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Managers and their affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Managers from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who provide such services. The Sub-Adviser’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio manager and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers are responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Managers also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Michael Levine, the portfolio manager for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Fund, the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other large value funds underlying variable insurance products. The Board considered that the Fund performed in line with its performance category median during the one- and three-year periods and outperformed its performance category median during the five-year period.

Costs of Services by the Adviser. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other large value funds underlying variable insurance products. In reviewing the fees and expenses charged to the VA funds, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the various VA funds to those of retail funds, it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board considered that the Fund’s total expenses, after waivers, were lower than its peer group median and higher than its category median. The Board also considered that the Fund’s contractual management fee was higher than its respective peer group median and category median. Within the total asset range of $0 to $50 million, the Fund’s effective rate was higher than its peer group median and category median. The Board further noted that the Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 0.80% for Non-Service Shares and 1.05% for Service Shares. This contractual expense limitation may not be amended or withdrawn until one year after the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. The Board considered information regarding the Managers’ costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Managers’ profitability from their relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Managers may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.

Other Benefits to the Managers. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Managers, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Managers’ affiliates and research provided to the Adviser in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The

 

26    OPPENHEIMER EQUITY INCOME FUND/VA


 

Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreements through August 31, 2014. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. For performance data current to the most recent month end, call us at 1.800.988.8287. The Fund’s total returns should not be expected to be the same as the returns of other funds, whether or not both funds have the same portfolio managers and/or similar names. The Fund’s total returns include changes in share price and reinvested distributions but do not include the charges associated with the separate account products that offer this Fund. Such performance would have been lower if such charges were taken into account. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized.

Fund Performance Discussion

 

From the Fund’s inception on November 14, 2013, through December 31, 2013, its Non-Service shares produced a return of -0.69%. In comparison, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index returned -0.27% over the same period. The Fund is intended as a solution for diversified exposure to alternative asset classes, including master limited partnerships (MLPs), foreign currencies, real estate, gold and special minerals, and commodities, among others.

MARKET OVERVIEW

Accommodative monetary policies on the part of central banks in the U.S., Europe and Japan, combined with an improving economic outlook, resulted in a rally among risk equities and higher-yielding bonds over the first four months of 2013. At the same time, yields of U.S. government securities remained near historical lows due to the Federal Reserve’s (the “Fed’s”) massive bond buying program. These developments drove financial markets higher through the early spring of 2013. At that time, economic data appeared to confirm that the United States, Europe and Japan had engineered a sustained economic rebound, but investors responded negatively to disappointing economic data from China, India, Brazil, and other emerging markets. The ensuing “flight to quality” toward traditional safe havens produced sharp dislocations in emerging equity, fixed-income and currency markets. In late May, remarks by Fed chairman Ben Bernanke were widely interpreted as a signal that U.S. monetary policymakers would begin to back away from their quantitative easing program sooner than expected, sparking heightened volatility in financial markets throughout the world. However, market conditions generally stabilized over the summer of 2013. In October, the U.S. Congress managed to reach a bipartisan agreement to raise the national debt ceiling, and did so well ahead of the potential default deadline. While the Fed unexpectedly refrained from reducing its monthly bond purchases in September, in December the Central Bank announced that it would reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion, from $85 billion to $75 billion, starting in January 2014. The Fed also announced that it would continue to hold short-term interest rates at very low levels until unemployment in the United States subsided below 6.5%. This was lower than its earlier 7% target.

FUND REVIEW

Since the Fund’s inception on November 14, 2013, the Fund’s investments in infrastructure master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) were the strongest contributers to Fund performance. Top performing stocks in this area included Energy Transfer Equity, L.P., Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. and Access Midstream Partners, L.P. After a strong first half of the year, the MLP asset class essentially traded sideways (with some volatility) for the rest of 2013. The Fed’s taper talk in May initially put some pressure on MLPs, but the asset class fully recovered in a matter of weeks. We believe investor interest in distributions remains strong in a low-yield world and that MLPs are positioned to benefit from the infrastructure build-out necessary to bring both shale oil and gas to market.

The most significant detractors from performance in this short period included gold companies Randgold Resources Ltd., IAMGOLD Corp. and Goldcorp, Inc. While the precious metals sector has been under significant pressure in 2013, we believe that gold mining equities are currently inexpensive versus bullion on a historical basis.

STRATEGY & OUTLOOK

In our view, the key macro factors that help drive performance of these alternative asset classes remain firmly in place, including accommodative monetary policies in the U.S. and around the world, competitive currency debasement, near zero interest rates and geopolitical turmoil. At the same time, valuations for these assets classes are mixed. Investors now face a world of experimental monetary and fiscal policies, and we believe the potential unintended consequences of these policies could be greater than many appreciate. Furthermore, inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index remains well behaved and below the Fed’s long-term target. Consequently, it is not surprising that we see minimal investor interest in hedging inflation today. Although volatility has been low for 2013, it can change abruptly, and with many of the major central banks either engaging in quantitative easing or otherwise unconventional monetary policies, we believe interest in hedging inflation could rise dramatically over time.

Fund Expenses

 

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples for Actual Expenses are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period, November 14, 2013 (commencement of operations) and held for the period ended December 31, 2013.

The Hypothetical Examples for Comparison Purposes are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested on July 1, 2013 and held for the entire 6-month period December 31, 2013.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes.

The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any charges associated with the separate accounts that offer this Fund. Therefore, the “hypothetical” lines of the table are useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these separate account charges were included your costs would have been higher.

1. Actual expenses paid are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 48/365 to reflect the period from November 14, 2013 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2013.

2. Hypothetical expenses paid are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

The annualized expense ratios for the period from November 14, 2013 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2013 are as follows:

The expense ratios reflect contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, unless approved by the Board of Trustees. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s consolidated financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  December 31, 2013

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Diversified Alternatives Fund/VA (the “Fund”) is a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds, a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI. Shares of the Fund are sold only to separate accounts of life insurance companies. The Fund commenced operations on November 14, 2013.

The Fund offers two classes of shares. Both classes are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share, to separate investment accounts of participating insurance companies as an underlying investment for variable life insurance policies, variable annuity contracts or other investment products. The class of shares designated as Service shares is subject to a distribution and service plan. Both classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.

Basis for Consolidation. The Fund has established a Cayman Islands exempted company, Oppenheimer Diversified Alternatives Fund/VA (Cayman) Ltd., which is wholly-owned and controlled by the Fund (the “Subsidiary”). The Fund and Subsidiary are both managed by the Manager. 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. 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 expected to provide the Fund with exposure to commodities markets within the limitations of the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. The Subsidiary is subject to the same investment restrictions and guidelines, and follows the same compliance policies and procedures, as the Fund.

The financial statements have been consolidated and include accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. At December 31, 2013, the Fund owned 15,186 shares with a market value of $1,495,665.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is the investment adviser of IMMF, and the Sub-Adviser provides investment and related advisory services to IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Investment in Oppenheimer Master Funds. The Fund is permitted to invest in entities sponsored and/or advised by the Manager or an affiliate. Certain of these entities in which the Fund invests are mutual funds registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 that expect to be treated as partnerships for tax purposes, specifically Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC and Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC (the “Master Funds”). Each Master Fund has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Master Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Master Fund.

The investment objective of Oppenheimer Master Loan Fund, LLC is to seek as high a level of current income and preservation of capital as is consistent with investing primarily in loans and other debt securities. The investment objective of Oppenheimer Master Event-Linked Bond Fund, LLC is to seek a high level of current income principally derived from interest on debt securities. The Fund’s investments in the Master Funds are included in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. The Fund recognizes income and gain/(loss) on its investments in each Master Fund according to its allocated pro-rata share, based on its relative proportion of total outstanding Master Fund shares held, of the total net income earned and the net gain/(loss) realized on investments sold by the Master Funds. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of the Master Funds’ expenses, including their management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in the Master Funds.

Master Limited Partnerships (“MLPs”). MLPs issue common units that represent an equity ownership interest in a partnership and provide limited voting rights. MLP common units are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and are freely tradable on securities exchanges such as the NYSE and the NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”), or in the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market. An MLP consists of one or more general partners, who conduct the business, and one or more limited partners, who contribute capital. MLP common unit holders have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management. The Fund, as a limited partner, normally would not be liable for the debts of the MLP beyond the amounts the Fund has contributed, but would not be shielded to the same extent that a shareholder of a corporation would be. In certain circumstances creditors of an MLP would have the right to seek return of capital distributed to a limited partner. This right of an MLP’s creditors would continue after the Fund sold its investment in the MLP.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.

Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

Subchapter M requires, among other things, that at least 90% of the Fund’s gross income be derived from securities or derived with respect to its business of investing in securities (typically referred to as “qualifying income”). Income from commodity-linked derivatives may not be treated as “qualifying income” for purposes of the 90% gross income requirement. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has previously issued a number of private letter rulings which conclude that income derived from commodity index-linked notes and investments in a wholly-owned subsidiary will be “qualifying income.” As a result, the Fund will gain exposure to commodities through commodity-linked notes and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

The IRS has suspended the granting of private letter rulings pending further review. As a result, there can be no assurance that the IRS will not change its position with respect to commodity-linked notes and wholly-owned subsidiaries. In addition, future legislation and guidance from Treasury and the IRS may adversely affect the fund’s ability to gain exposure to commodities through commodity-linked notes and its wholly-owned subsidiary.

The Fund is required to include in income for federal income tax purposes all of the subsidiary’s net income and gains whether or not such income is distributed by the subsidiary. Net income and gains from the subsidiary are generally treated as ordinary income by the Fund, regardless of the character of the subsidiary’s underlying income. Net losses from the subsidiary do not pass through to the Fund for federal income tax purposes.

The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. As of December 31, 2013, the Fund had $6,513 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. Details of the capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryovers with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates.

   $         6,513   

2. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for December 31, 2013. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.

Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Consolidated Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.

Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

 

20    OPPENHEIMER DIVERSIFIED ALTERNATIVES FUND/VA


 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

 

2. Securities Valuation

The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.

The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.

Valuation Methods and Inputs

Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.

The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:

Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority); (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.

Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

Structured securities, swaps, swaptions, and other over-the-counter derivatives are valued utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are valued utilizing current and forward currency rates obtained from third party pricing services. When the settlement date of a contract is an interim date for which a quotation is not available, interpolated values are derived using the nearest dated forward currency rate.

Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.

A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.

Security Type    Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities    Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors.
Loans    Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Event-linked bonds    Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations.
Structured securities    Relevant market information such as the price of underlying financial instruments, stock market indices, foreign currencies, interest rate spreads, commodities, or the occurrence of other specific events.
Swaps    Relevant market information, including underlying reference assets such as credit spreads, credit event probabilities, index values, individual security values, forward interest rates, variable interest rates, volatility measures, and forward currency rates.

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.

To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.

Classifications

Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively

traded on a securities exchange)

2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted

quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks,

etc.)

3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market

participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of December 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:

 

  Fee Schedule        

  Up to $500 million

     1.00

  Next $500 million

     0.95   

  Next $4 billion

     0.90   

  Over $5 billion

     0.88   

The Manager also provides investment management related services to the Subsidiary. The Subsidiary pays the Manager a monthly management fee at an annual rate according to the above schedule. The Subsidiary also pays certain other expenses including custody and directors’ fees.

Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fees paid to the Sub-Adviser are paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.

Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. Fees incurred by the Fund with respect to these services are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

5. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)

Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.

Distribution and Service Plan for Service Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) in accordance with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 for Service shares to pay OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”), for distribution related services, personal service and account maintenance for the Fund’s Service shares. Under the Plan, payments are made periodically at an annual rate of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Service shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to compensate sponsors of the insurance product that offers Fund shares, for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their variable contract owners that hold Service shares. These fees are paid out of the Fund’s assets on an on-going basis and increase operating expenses of the Service shares, which results in lower performance compared to the Fund’s shares that are not subject to a service fee. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to limit the Fund’s “Expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses” (excluding any applicable dividend expense, taxes, interest and fees from borrowing, any subsidiary expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, brokerage commissions, extraordinary expenses and certain other Fund expenses) so that, as percentages of average daily net assets, those expenses will not exceed the annual rate of 1.20% for Non-Service shares and 1.45% for Service shares. During the period ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $47,572 and $49 for Non-Service and Service, respectively.

The Manager has contractually agreed to waive the Fund’s management fee in an amount equal to the management fee of the Subsidiary. During the period ended December 31, 2013, this waiver reduced the Fund’s management fee by $1,580.

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF and the Master Funds. During the period ended December 31, 2013, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund $407 for management fees.

Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time; some may not be modified or terminated until after one year from the date of the current prospectus, as indicated therein.

 

 

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments

The Fund’s investment objectives not only permit the Fund to purchase investment securities, they also allow the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.

Market Risk Factors. In accordance with its investment objectives, the Fund may use derivatives to increase or decrease its exposure to one or more of the following market risk factors:

Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market. Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products. 

Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield bonds are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality bonds.

Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.

Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.

Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.

Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued)

Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.

Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.

The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.

Forward Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into forward currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date. Such contracts are traded in the OTC inter-bank currency dealer market.

Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable (or payable) and in the Consolidated Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to take a positive investment perspective on the related currency. These forward contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to purchase specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by the Fund.

The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to take a negative investment perspective on the related currency. These forward contracts seek to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk.

The Fund has entered into forward contracts with the obligation to sell specified foreign currencies in the future at a currently negotiated forward rate in order to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk associated with foreign currency denominated securities held by the Fund.

During the period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had daily average contract amounts on forward contracts to buy and sell of $1,769,906 and $3,960,945, respectively.

Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty to a forward contract will default and fail to perform its obligations to the Fund.

Futures Contracts

A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. Futures contracts and options thereon are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value in an account registered in the futures commission merchant’s name. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the futures commission merchant each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the futures commission merchant can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations.

Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Securities held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Cash held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.

The Fund has sold futures contracts on various bonds and notes to decrease exposure to interest rate risk.

The Fund has purchased futures contracts on various equity indexes to increase exposure to equity risk.

The Fund has sold futures contracts on various equity indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk.

The Fund has sold futures contracts, which have values that are linked to the price movement of the related volatility indexes, in order to decrease exposure to volatility risk.

The Fund has purchased futures contracts, which have values that are linked to the price movement of the related commodities, in order to increase exposure to commodity risk.

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued)

During the period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $1,160,749 and $224,140 on futures contracts purchased and sold, respectively.

Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.

Option Activity

The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and call options. When an option is written, the Fund receives a premium and becomes obligated to sell or purchase the underlying security, currency or other underlying financial instrument at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.

Options can be traded through an exchange or through a privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction. Options traded through an exchange are generally cleared through a clearinghouse (such as The Options Clearing Corporation). The difference between the premium received or paid, and market value of the option, is recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. The net change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. When an option is exercised, the cost of the security purchased or the proceeds of the security sale are adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid. Upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction, a gain or loss is reported in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

The Fund has purchased call options on currencies to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A purchased call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.

The Fund has purchased put options on currencies to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A purchased put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

During the period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $2,205 and $8,891 on purchased call options and purchased put options, respectively.

Options written, if any, are reported in a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments and as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities held in collateral accounts to cover potential obligations with respect to outstanding written options are noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments.

The risk in writing a call option is that the market price of the security increases and if the option is exercised, the Fund must either purchase the security at a higher price for delivery or, if the Fund owns the underlying security, give up the opportunity for profit. The risk in writing a put option is that the Fund may incur a loss if the market price of the security decreases and the option is exercised. The risk in buying an option is that the Fund pays a premium whether or not the option is exercised. The Fund also has the additional risk that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to close the contract.

The Fund has written put options on currencies to increase exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.

The Fund has written call options on currencies to decrease exposure to foreign exchange rate risk. A written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

The Fund has written put options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to increase exposure to equity risk. A written put option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument appreciates relative to the strike price.

The Fund has written call options on individual equity securities and/or equity indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk. A written call option becomes more valuable as the price of the underlying financial instrument depreciates relative to the strike price.

During the period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $10,521 and $11,191 on written call options and written put options, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Swap Contracts

The Fund may enter into swap contract agreements with a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows based on either specified reference rates, the price or volatility of asset or non-asset references, or the occurrence of a credit event, over a specified period. Swaps can be executed in a bi-lateral privately negotiated arrangement with a dealer in an OTC transaction (“OTC swaps”) or executed on a regulated market. Certain swaps, regardless of the venue of their execution, are required to be cleared through a clearinghouse (“cleared swaps”). Swap contracts may include interest rate, equity, debt, index, total return, credit default, currency, and volatility swaps.

 

26    OPPENHEIMER DIVERSIFIED ALTERNATIVES FUND/VA


 

 

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued)

Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Daily changes in the value of cleared swaps are reported as variation margin receivable or payable on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The values of OTC swap contracts are aggregated by positive and negative values and disclosed separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) related to the change in the valuation of the notional amount of the swap is combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund, if any, at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, under such contracts as realized gain (loss) on the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Swap contract agreements are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying reference rate or asset. Swap contracts are typically more attractively priced compared to similar investments in related cash securities because they isolate the risk to one market risk factor and eliminate the other market risk factors. Investments in cash securities (for instance bonds) have exposure to multiple risk factors (credit and interest rate risk). Because swaps have embedded leverage, they can expose the Fund to substantial risk in the isolated market risk factor.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts. An interest rate swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on interest rates. One cash flow stream will typically be a floating rate payment based upon a specified floating interest rate while the other is typically a fixed interest rate.

The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a floating interest rate and receives a fixed interest rate in order to increase exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the payments received by the Fund.

The Fund has entered into interest rate swaps in which it pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating interest rate in order to decrease exposure to interest rate risk. Typically, if relative interest rates rise, payments received by the Fund under the swap agreement will be greater than the payments made by the Fund.

For the period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $33,237 and $34,085 on interest rate swaps which pay a fixed rate and interest rate swaps which receive a fixed rate, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on the value of asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate) and the other on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities or securities index). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.

Total return swap contracts are exposed to the market risk factor of the specific underlying financial instrument or index. Total return swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and can isolate and/or include multiple types of market risk factors including equity risk, credit risk, and interest rate risk.

The Fund has entered into total return swaps on various equity securities or indexes to increase exposure to equity risk. These equity risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay a floating reference interest rate, and an amount equal to the negative price movement of securities or an index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract. The Fund will receive payments equal to the positive price movement of the same securities or index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract and, in some cases, dividends paid on the securities.

The Fund has entered into total return swaps on various equity securities or indexes to decrease exposure to equity risk. These equity risk related total return swaps require the Fund to pay an amount equal to the positive price movement of securities or an index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract and, in some cases, dividends paid on the securities. The Fund will receive payments of a floating reference interest rate and an amount equal to the negative price movement of the same securities or index (expressed as a percentage) multiplied by the notional amount of the contract.

For the period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $62,044 and $321,641 on total return swaps which are long the reference asset and total return swaps which are short the reference asset, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Volatility Swap Contracts. A volatility swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on the measured volatility of a reference security, index, currency or other reference investment over a specified time frame. One cash flow is typically based on the realized volatility of the reference investment as measured by changes in its price or level over the specified time period while the other cash flow is based on a specified rate representing expected volatility for the reference investment at the time the swap is executed, or the measured volatility of a different reference investment over the specified time period. The appreciation or depreciation on a volatility swap will typically depend on the magnitude of the reference investment’s volatility, or size of the movements in its price, over the specified time period, rather than general directional increases or decreases in its price.

Volatility swaps are less standard in structure than other types of swaps and provide pure, or isolated, exposure to volatility risk of the specific underlying reference investment. Volatility swaps are typically used to speculate on future volatility levels, to trade the spread between realized and expected volatility, or to decrease the volatility exposure of investments held by the Fund.

Variance swaps are a type of volatility swap where counterparties agree to exchange periodic payments based on the measured variance (or the volatility squared) of a reference security, index, or other reference investment over a specified time period. At payment date, a net cash flow will be exchanged based on the difference between the realized variance of the reference investment over the specified time period and the specified rate representing expected variance for the reference investment at the time the swap is executed multiplied by the notional amount of the contract.

6. Risk Exposures and the Use of Derivative Instruments (Continued)

The Fund has entered into volatility swaps to increase exposure to the volatility risk of various reference investments. These types of volatility swaps require the Fund to pay the measured volatility and receive a fixed rate payment. If the measured volatility of the related reference investment increases over the period, the swaps will depreciate in value. Conversely, if the measured volatility of the related reference investment decreases over the period, the swaps will appreciate in value.

The Fund has entered into volatility swaps to decrease exposure to the volatility risk of various reference investments. These types of volatility swaps require the Fund to pay a fixed rate payment and receive the measured volatility. If the measured volatility of the related reference investment increases over the period, the swaps will appreciate in value. Conversely, if the measured volatility of the related reference investment decreases over the period, the swaps will depreciate in value.

For the period ended December 31, 2013, the Fund had ending monthly average notional amounts of $4,996,562 and $501,203 on volatility swaps which pay measured volatility/variance and volatility swaps which receive measured volatility/variance, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk and liquidity risk.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on OTC derivatives is generally limited to the aggregate unrealized gain netted against any collateral held by the Fund. For OTC options purchased, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount of the premiums paid plus the positive change in market values net of any collateral held by the Fund should the counterparty fail to perform under the contracts. Options written by the Fund do not typically give rise to counterparty credit risk, as options written generally obligate the Fund and not the counterparty to perform.

To reduce counterparty risk with respect to OTC transactions, the Fund has entered into master netting arrangements, established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) master agreements, which allow the Fund to make (or to have an entitlement to receive) a single net payment in the event of default (close-out netting) for outstanding payables and receivables with respect to certain OTC positions in swaps, options, swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty. In addition, the Fund may require that certain counterparties post cash and/or securities in collateral accounts to cover their net payment obligations for those derivative contracts subject to ISDA master agreements. If the counterparty fails to perform under these contracts and agreements, the cash and/or securities will be made available to the Fund.

ISDA master agreements include credit related contingent features which allow counterparties to OTC derivatives to terminate derivative contracts prior to maturity in the event that, for example, the Fund’s net assets decline by a stated percentage or the Fund fails to meet the terms of its ISDA master agreements, which would cause the Fund to accelerate payment of any net liability owed to the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.

The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for cleared swaps.

With respect to cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.

There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.

Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.

Collateral terms are contract specific for OTC derivatives. For derivatives traded under an ISDA master agreement, the collateral requirements are typically calculated by netting the mark to market amount for each transaction under such agreement and comparing that amount to the value of any collateral currently pledged by the Fund or the counterparty.

For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in the Consolidated Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

7. Pending Litigation

Since 2009, seven class action lawsuits have been pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also name as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raise claims under federal securities law and allege, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. On August 26, 2013, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed a memorandum of understanding setting forth the terms of proposed settlements of those actions. The proposed settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including the execution of settlement agreements, which will require preliminary and final approval by the court. The proposed settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer California Municipal Fund.

Other class action and individual lawsuits have been filed since 2008 in various state and federal courts against OFI and certain of its affiliates by investors seeking to recover investments they allegedly lost as a result of the “Ponzi” scheme run by Bernard L. Madoff and his firm, Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, LLC (“BLMIS”). Plaintiffs in these suits allege that they suffered losses as a result of their investments in several funds managed by an affiliate of OFI and assert a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. Neither the Distributor, nor any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds, their independent trustees or directors are named as defendants in these lawsuits. None of the Oppenheimer mutual funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff or BLMIS. On February 28, 2011, a stipulation of partial settlement of three groups of consolidated putative class action lawsuits relating to these matters was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. On August 19, 2011, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlement as fair, reasonable and adequate. In September 2011, certain parties filed notices of appeal from the court’s order approving the settlement. The settlement does not resolve other outstanding lawsuits against OFI and its affiliates relating to BLMIS.

On April 16, 2010, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against (i) OFI, (ii) an affiliate of OFI and (iii) AAArdvark IV Funding Limited (“AAArdvark IV”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark IV. Plaintiffs allege breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seek compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On April 11, 2013, the court granted defendants’ motion for summary judgment, dismissing plaintiffs’ fraud claim with prejudice and dismissing their

7. Pending Litigation (Continued)

contract claim without prejudice, and granted plaintiffs leave to replead their contract claim to assert a cause of action for specific performance within 30 days. On May 9, 2013, plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the court’s dismissal order. On January 7, 2014, the appellate court affirmed the trial court’s dismissal order. On July 15, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark Funding Limited (“AAArdvark I”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark I. The complaint alleges breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and seeks compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 9, 2011, a lawsuit was filed in New York state court against OFI, an affiliate of OFI and AAArdvark XS Funding Limited (“AAArdvark XS”), an entity advised by OFI’s affiliate, in connection with investments made by the plaintiffs in AAArdvark XS. The complaint alleged breach of contract against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On November 8, 2013, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice.

OFI believes the lawsuits and appeals described above are without legal merit and, with the exception of actions it has settled, is defending against them vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes that these suits should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

 

The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Diversified Alternatives Fund/VA (a separate series of Oppenheimer Variable Account Funds) and subsidiary, including the consolidated statement of investments, as of December 31, 2013, and the related consolidated statement of operations, the consolidated statement of changes in net assets and the consolidated financial highlights for the period from November 14, 2013 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2013. These consolidated financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial highlights based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2013, by correspondence with the custodian. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Diversified Alternatives Fund/VA and subsidiary as of December 31, 2013, the results of their operations, the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for the period from November 14, 2013 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2013, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION  Unaudited

 

 

In early 2014, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2013.

Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by the maximum amount allowable but not less than 2.65% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AND SUB-ADIVSORY AGREEMENTS  Unaudited

 

 

The Fund has entered into an investment advisory agreement with OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Adviser”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”) (“OFI Global” and “OFI” together the “Managers”) and OFI Global has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI whereby OFI provides investment sub-advisory services to the Fund (collectively, the “Agreements”). The Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to approve the Agreements. The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Managers provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreements. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose.

In approving the Fund’s Agreements, the Board considered information provided by the Managers on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Managers’ services to be provided, (ii) the fees and other projected expenses of the Fund, including estimated and comparative expense information, (iii) whether economies of scale may be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (iv) other benefits that the Managers may receive from their relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Managers.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided to the Fund and information regarding the Managers’ key personnel who will provide such services. The Sub-Adviser’s duties will include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team, who will provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third-party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions; and risk management. The Managers will be responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Managers will also provide the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services expected to be provided and the quality of the Managers’ resources that will be available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Sub-Adviser has had over fifty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Sub-Adviser’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal, compliance services and risk management, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Managers’ key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Mark Hamilton, David Wharmby, and Brian Watson, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Sub-Adviser’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Managers as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Managers. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Managers, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Managers’ experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund should benefit from the services to be provided under the Agreements.

Costs of Services by the Adviser. The Board reviewed the fees to be paid to the Manager and the other expenses to be borne by the Fund. Due to the limited number of “Multialternative”VA peer funds, the Board reviewed the Morningstar World Allocation and Mutlialternative categories for select unaffiliated retail and VA funds. Based on this comparative universe, the Board considered that the proposed management fee would be higher than the peer group median and the peer group average. The Board also considered that the Fund’s gross total expenses would be lower than the peer group median and peer group average but that its net total expenses would be higher than the peer group median and peer group average. In reviewing the fees and expenses to be charged to the Fund, the Board considered the Manager’s assertion that, because there is much greater disparity in the fees and services that may be provided by a manager to a VA fund as opposed to a retail fund, when comparing the expenses of the Fund to those of retail funds, it is most appropriate to focus on total expenses (rather than on the management fees). Accordingly, while the Board reviewed and considered all expenses, it focused on total expenses. The Board further considered that the Manager has contractually agreed to limit the Fund’s total annual operating expenses so that those expenses, as percentages of daily net assets, will not exceed the annual rate of 1.20% for Non-Service Shares and 1.45% for Service Shares. This waiver and/or reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus.

Performance. The Board considered that the Fund has no operational history and that its performance could not be a factor in deciding whether to approve the Agreements.

Economies of Scale. The Board considered information regarding the Managers’ anticipated costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser and sub-adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Managers may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.

Other Benefits to the Managers. The Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Managers may receive as a result of their relationship with the Fund, including compensation that may be paid to the Managers’ affiliates and research that may be provided to the Adviser in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Managers must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Managers within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

 

34    OPPENHEIMER DIVERSIFIED ALTERNATIVES FUND/VA


Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to approve the Agreements through August 20, 2015. In arriving at its decision, the Board did not identify any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreements, including the management fees, in light of all the surrounding circumstances.
