5. Represents the current interest rate for a variable or increasing rate security.
6. Interest-Only Strips represent the right to receive the monthly interest payments on an underlying pool of mortgage loans or other receivables. 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 or asset-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 $1,836,691 or 0.05% of the Fund’s net assets as of January 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. 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 $178,678 or less than 0.005% of the Fund’s net assets as of January 31, 2013.
9. Represents securities sold under Rule 144A, which are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. These securities have been determined to be liquid under guidelines established by the Board of Directors. These securities amount to $51,481,412 or 1.37% of the Fund’s net assets as of January 31, 2013.
10. 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.
11. 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 accompanying Notes.

Notes to Statement of investments

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 Statement of Operations in the annual and semiannual reports. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured security is sold or matures.

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 January 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.

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 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 Directors.

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.

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS January 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

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.

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.

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 as of January 31, 2013 based on valuation input level:

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 foreign currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return 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. Central to those strategies are features inherent to derivatives that make them more attractive for this purpose than equity and debt securities: they require little or no initial cash investment, they can focus exposure on only certain selected risk factors, and they may not require the ultimate receipt or delivery of the underlying security (or securities) to the contract. This 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.

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.

STATEMENT OF INVESTMENTS January 31, 2013 (Unaudited)

 

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.

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

Risks of Investing in Derivatives. The Fund’s use of derivatives can result in losses due to unanticipated changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. 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.

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. 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.

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. Associated risks can be different for each type of derivative and are discussed by each derivative type in the notes that follow.

Counterparty Credit Risk. Certain derivative positions are subject to counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund’s derivative counterparties are financial institutions who are subject to market conditions that may weaken their financial position. The Fund intends to enter into financial transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.

Credit Related Contingent Features. The Fund’s agreements with derivative counterparties have several credit related contingent features that if triggered would allow its derivatives counterparties to close out and demand payment or additional collateral to cover their exposure from the Fund. Credit related contingent features are established between the Fund and its derivatives counterparties to reduce the risk that the Fund will not fulfill its payment obligations to its counterparties. These triggering features include, but are not limited to, a percentage decrease in the Fund’s net assets and or a percentage decrease in the Fund’s Net Asset Value or NAV. The contingent features are established within the Fund’s International Swap and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements which govern certain positions in swaps, over-the-counter options and swaptions, and forward currency exchange contracts for each individual counterparty.

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 at a fixed price, upon exercise of the option.

Options are valued daily based upon the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the option is traded. 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 Statement of Operations in the annual and semiannual

reports. 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 in the annual and semiannual reports.

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 period ended January 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $602,897 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 in the annual and semiannual reports. Securities held in collateralized 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 Fund gives up the opportunity for profit if the market price of the security increases and the option is exercised. 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 period ended January 31, 2013, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $1,302,968 and $20,261,344 on written call options and written put options, respectively.

Additional associated risks to the Fund include counterparty credit risk for over-the-counter options and liquidity risk.
