Fund Performance Discussion

The Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) produced a cumulative total return of 0.50% during the reporting period. On a relative basis, the Fund’s benchmarks, the Barclays U.S. Government Bond Index and the Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Government Bond Index, returned 0.61% and 0.21%, respectively.

MARKET OVERVIEW

The global economy finished 2013 with slow and steady growth throughout the developed world. U.S. growth improved during the reporting period driven by continued strength in manufacturing, reasonable employment gains and moderating housing activity. Before the reporting period, in May 2013, market volatility picked up measurably as remarks from former Federal Reserve (“Fed”) Chairman Ben Bernanke indicated a possible tapering of the Fed’s asset purchase program if the economy continued to show improvement. However, when the Fed actually announced in December that it would reduce its asset purchases by $10 billion a month from $85 billion to $75 billion, its decision to “taper” was met with relative calm in financial markets. U.S. interest rates generally rose and by the end of 2013 the interest rate on 10-year Treasury bonds was roughly 3.0%. That capped a modest year for both U.S. Treasuries and investment-grade fixed income.

In January 2014, investors worried that ongoing downturns in the emerging markets might dampen the U.S. economic recovery, leading to renewed volatility in stock and bond markets. However, U.S. growth

remained reasonably strong, which was attributable to good employment gains and robust manufacturing activity despite a near-term slowdown in the housing recovery. The Eurozone also grew at a slightly faster pace than 2013, but has continued to struggle with very low inflation and weak bank lending. The Fed continued its program of “tapering” asset purchases by $10 billion per month for the first three months of the year, bringing their current monthly purchases to $55 billion in March (in January 2014, Janet Yellen was confirmed as next Fed chairman). In addition, interest rates in the U.S. have fallen slightly since the beginning of the year.

FUND REVIEW

The Fund remained most heavily invested in mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) throughout the reporting period. This allocation, which consisted primarily of government agency MBS, with a smaller allocation to non-agency MBS, benefited the Fund’s performance. However, it is important to note that MBS are sensitive to upward moves in interest rates as the duration of these securities tends to extend in such an environment. In response, we reduced our allocation to 30-year mortgages in favor of

XXX XXX XXXXX

 

15-year mortgages and also moved to higher coupon securities in an attempt to decrease the impact of interest rate risk. We believe these changes may help combat interest rate risk, but we continue to monitor the sector. Modest positions in asset-backed securities (“ABS”) and commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) also contributed positively to performance.

During the reporting period, we significantly reduced our allocation in agency debt and moved those assets into U.S. Treasuries to maintain liquidity in the Fund. Our U.S. Treasury position minimally detracted from performance this reporting period.

STRATEGY & 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 a “yield-starved” domestic fixed income market dominated by U.S. Treasuries hovering at near historic lows, the case for securitized 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 percentages above are based on the market value of the Fund’s securities as of March 31, 2014, and are subject to change. Except for securities labeled “Unrated” and 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 returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and the applicable sales charge: for Class A shares, the current maximum initial sales charge of 2.25%; for Class B shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 4% (1-year) and 1% (5-year); and for Class C and N shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. Prior to April 1, 2012, the maximum initial sales charge for Class A shares of the Fund was 3.50%. There is no sales charge for Class I and Class Y shares.

Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B shares uses Class A performance for the period after conversion.

Standardized yield is based on net investment income for the 30-day period ended 3/31/14 and the maximum offering price at the end of the period for Class A shares and the net asset value for Class B, Class C, Class I, Class N and Class Y shares. Each result is compounded semiannually and then annualized. Falling share prices will tend to artificially raise yields.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Barclays U.S. Government Bond Index and the Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Government Bond Index. The Barclays U.S. Government Bond Index is a market-weighted index of U.S. government securities with maturities of 1 year or more. The Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Government Bond Index is composed of Treasury bond and agency bond indices that have maturities of one to three years. The Indices are unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the Indices. 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 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.

Before investing in any of the Oppenheimer funds, investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.

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.

Fund Expenses

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; 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 March 31, 2014.

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 transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager. Some of these undertakings may be modified or terminated at any time, as indicated in the Fund’s prospectus. 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. 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 $23,137,935 or 1.71% of the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2014.

4. Interest rate is less than 0.0005%.

5. Principal-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly principal payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans. The value of these securities generally increases as interest rates decline and prepayment rates rise. The price of these securities is typically more volatile than that of coupon-bearing bonds of the same maturity. Interest rates disclosed represent current yields based upon the current cost basis and estimated timing of future cash flows. These securities amount to $1,579,999 or 0.12% of the Fund’s net assets as of March 31, 2014.

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

7. All or a portion of the security position is when-issued or delayed delivery to be delivered and settled after March 31, 2014. See Note 1 of the accompanying Notes.

8. 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 $3,409,973. See Note 6 of the accompanying Notes.

9. Zero coupon bond reflects effective yield on the date of purchase.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS     March 31, 2014   Unaudited

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund (the “Fund”) 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. 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.

The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class N and Class Y shares, and previously offered Class B shares for new purchase through June 29, 2012. Subsequent to that date, no new purchases of Class B shares are permitted, however reinvestment of dividend and/or capital gain distributions and exchanges of Class B shares into and from other Oppenheimer funds will be allowed. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class C and Class N shares are sold, and Class B shares were sold, without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class I and Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors or intermediaries without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the intermediaries may impose charges on their accountholders who beneficially own Class I and Class Y shares. 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. Class A, B, C and N shares have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and Class Y shares do not pay such fees. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.

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.

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

As of March 31, 2014, 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

     $272,578,824   

Sold securities

     95,436,670   

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.

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 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.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year. Details of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss

carryforwards with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates. Capital losses with no expiration will be carried forward to future years if not offset by gains.

As of March 31, 2014, it is estimated that the capital loss carryforwards would be $151,741,572 expiring by 2018 and $21,834,381 which will not expire. The estimated capital loss carryforward represents the carryforward as of the end of the last fiscal year, increased or decreased by capital losses or gains realized in the first six months of the current fiscal year. During the six months ended March 31, 2014, it is estimated that the Fund will not utilize any capital loss carryforward to offset realized capital gains.

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

The 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 March 31, 2014 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 he 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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS     Unaudited / Continued

 

 

1. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

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.

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 overdraft at a rate equal to the 1 Month LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%. 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.

 

 

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.

 

38     OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND


        

 

 

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

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.

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

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.

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

2. Securities Valuation (Continued)

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 March 31, 2014 based on valuation input level:

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 (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s classes of shares.

Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the “Plan”) for Class A shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares daily net assets and 0.25% on Class N shares daily net assets. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distributor determines its uncompensated expenses under the Plans at calendar quarter ends. The Distributor’s aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at March 31, 2014 were as follows:

 

Class C

   $ 23,880,507

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses so that “Expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses,” will not exceed the following rates: 0.80% for the Class A shares; 1.60% for the Class B and Class C shares, respectively; 1.10% for the Class N shares and 0.50% for the Class Y shares. During the six months ended March 31, 2014, the Manager reimbursed the Fund $359,087, $8,773, $67,995, $9,140 and $71,773 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares, respectively.

    The Transfer Agent has contractually agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for Classes B, C, N and Y shares to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class and for Class A shares to 0.30% of average annual net assets of the class.

    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:

 

45    OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS     Unaudited / Continued

 

 

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.

 

46     OPPENHEIMER LIMITED-TERM GOVERNMENT FUND


 

 

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

    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 six months ended March 31, 2014, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $225,830,929 and $295,624,261 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.

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.

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

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. 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. Restricted Securities

As of March 31, 2014, 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. 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 March 5, 2014, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed stipulations and agreements of settlement resolving those actions. The settlements are subject to a variety of contingencies, including approval by the court. The settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer Rochester California Municipal Fund.

8. 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 alleged breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and sought 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 March 28, 2014, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice. 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 alleged breach of contract and common law fraud claims against the defendants and sought compensatory damages, costs and disbursements, including attorney fees. On March 28, 2014, the parties filed a stipulation of discontinuance dismissing the lawsuit with prejudice. 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

8. Pending Litigation (Continued)

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.

PORTFOLIO PROXY VOTING POLICIES AND PROCEDURES;

UPDATES TO STATEMENTS OF INVESTMENTS     Unaudited

A description of the Fund’s Portfolio Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677), (ii) on the Fund’s website at oppenheimerfunds.com, and (iii) on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the Fund is required to file Form N-PX, with its complete proxy voting record for the 12 months ended June 30th, no later than August 31st of each year. The Fund’s voting record is available (i) without charge, upon request, by calling the Fund toll-free at 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677), and (ii) in the Form N-PX filing on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents

This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus (or, if available, the fund’s summary prospectus), annual and semiannual report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.

    Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800.CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus (or, if available, the summary prospectus), reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

PRIVACY POLICY NOTICE

As an Oppenheimer fund shareholder, you are entitled to know how we protect your personal information and how we limit its disclosure.

Information Sources

We obtain nonpublic personal information about our shareholders from the following sources:

  Applications or other forms
  When you create a user ID and password for online account access
  When you enroll in eDocs Direct, our electronic document delivery service
  Your transactions with us, our affiliates or others
  A software program on our website, often referred to as a “cookie,” which indicates which parts of our site you’ve visited
  When you set up challenge questions to reset your password online

If you visit oppenheimerfunds.com and do not log on to the secure account information areas, we do not obtain any personal information about you. When you do log on to a secure area, we do obtain your user ID and password to identify you. We also use this information to provide you with products and services you have requested, to inform you about products and services that you may be interested in and assist you in other ways.

We do not collect personal information through our website unless you willingly provide it to us, either directly by email or in those areas of the website that request information. In order to update your personal information (including your mailing address, email address and phone number) you must first log on and visit your user profile.

If you have set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. You can refuse cookies by turning them off in your browser. However, doing so may limit your access to certain sections of our website.

We use cookies to help us improve and manage our website. For example, cookies help us recognize new versus repeat visitors to the site, track the pages visited, and enable some special features on the website. This data helps us provide a better service for our website visitors.

Protection of Information

We do not disclose any non-public personal information (such as names on a customer list) about current or former customers to anyone, except as permitted by law.

Disclosure of Information

We send your financial advisor (as designated by you) copies of confirmations, account statements and other documents reporting activity in your fund accounts. We may also use details about you and your investments to help us, our financial service affiliates, or firms that jointly market their financial products and services with ours, to better serve your investment needs or suggest financial services or educational material that may be of interest to you. If this requires us to provide you with an opportunity to “opt in” or “opt out” of such information sharing with a firm not affiliated with us, you will receive notification on how to do so, before any such sharing takes place.

Right of Refusal

We will not disclose your personal information to unaffiliated third parties (except as permitted by law), unless we first offer you a reasonable opportunity to refuse or “opt out” of such disclosure.

Internet Security and Encryption

In general, the email services provided by our website are encrypted and provide a secure and private means of communication with us. To protect your own privacy, confidential and/or personal information should only be communicated via email when you are advised that you are using a secure website.

As a security measure, we do not include personal or account information in non-secure emails, and we advise you not to send such information to us in non-secure emails. Instead, you may take advantage of the secure features of our website to encrypt your email correspondence. To do this, you will need to use a browser that supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.

We do not guarantee or warrant that any part of our website, including files available for download, are free of viruses or other harmful code. It is your responsibility to take appropriate precautions, such as use of an anti-virus software package, to protect your computer hardware and software.

  All transactions, including redemptions, exchanges and purchases, are secured by SSL and 128-bit encryption. SSL is used to establish a secure connection between your PC and OppenheimerFunds’ server. It transmits information in an encrypted and scrambled format.
  Encryption is achieved through an electronic scrambling technology that uses a “key” to code and then decode the data. Encryption acts like the cable converter box you may have on your television set. It scrambles data with a secret code so that no one can make sense of it while it is being transmitted. When the data reaches its destination, the same software unscrambles the data.
  You can exit the secure area by either closing your browser, or for added security, you can use the Log Out button before you close your browser.

Other Security Measures

We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal account information. Our employees and agents have access to that information only so that they may offer you products or provide services, for example, when responding to your account questions.

How You Can Help

You can also do your part to keep your account information private and to prevent unauthorized transactions. If you obtain a user ID and password for your account, do not allow it to be used by anyone else. Also, take special precautions when accessing your account on a computer used by others.

Who We Are

This joint notice describes the privacy policies of the Oppenheimer funds, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., and each of its investment adviser subsidiaries, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. and OFI Global Trust Co. It applies to all Oppenheimer fund accounts you presently have, or may open in the future, using your Social Security number—whether or not you remain a shareholder of our funds. This notice was last updated November 2013. In the event it is updated or changed, we will post an updated notice on our website at oppenheimerfunds.com.
