The Fund's Investment Objectives and Principal Investment Strategies


WHAT ARE THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES? The Fund's primary objective is to
seek total return. As a secondary objective, the Fund seeks income when
consistent with total return.

WHAT DOES THE FUND MAINLY INVEST IN?  The Fund invests mainly in debt
securities of foreign government and corporate issuers. Those debt securities
generally referred to as "bonds," include long-term and short-term government
bonds, participation interests in loans, corporate debt obligations,
"structured" notes and other debt obligations. They may include "zero coupon"
or "stripped" securities. Under normal circumstances, the Fund invests at
least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in
"bonds" and invests in at least three countries other than the United States.
The Fund's non-fundamental policy of investing at least 80% of its net assets
in "bonds" will not be changed by the Fund's Board of Trustees without first
providing shareholders 60 days written notice of the change.  The Fund does
not limit its investments to securities of issuers in a particular market
capitalization or maturity range or rating category, and can hold rated and
unrated securities below investment grade.

      The Fund invests in debt securities of issuers in both developed and
emerging markets throughout the world. These investments are more fully
explained in "About the Fund's Investments," below.


HOW DOES THE PORTFOLIO MANAGER DECIDE WHAT SECURITIES TO BUY OR SELL? In
selecting securities for the Fund, the Fund's portfolio manager analyzes the
overall investment opportunities and risks in individual national economies
by analyzing the business cycle in developed countries and political and
exchange rate factors of emerging markets. The portfolio manager currently
focuses on the factors below (which may vary in particular cases and may
change over time), looking for:


o     Opportunities for higher yields than are available in U.S. markets, and
o     Opportunities in government bonds in both developed and emerging
         markets.

WHO IS THE FUND DESIGNED FOR? The Fund is designed primarily for investors
seeking total return in their investment over the long term, with the
opportunity for some income, from a fund that will invest mainly in foreign
debt securities. Those investors should be willing to assume the risks of
short-term share price fluctuations that are typical for a fund focusing on
debt investments in foreign securities, particularly those in emerging
markets. Since the Fund's income level will fluctuate, it is not designed for
investors needing an assured level of current income. Because of its focus on
long-term total return, the Fund may be appropriate for a part of an
investor's retirement plan portfolio. However, the Fund is not a complete
investment program.







Main Risks of Investing in the Fund

      All investments carry risks to some degree.  The Fund's investments are
subject to changes in their value from a number of factors, described below.
There is also the risk that poor security selection by the Fund's investment
Manager, OppenheimerFunds, Inc., will cause the Fund to underperform other
funds having similar objectives.

CREDIT RISK.  Debt securities are subject to credit risk.  Credit risk is the
risk that the issuer of a security might not make interest and principal
payments on the security as they become due. If the issuer fails to pay
interest, the Fund's income might be reduced, and if the issuer fails to
repay principal, the values of that bond and of the Fund's shares might
fall.  A downgrade in an issuer's credit rating or other adverse news about
an issuer can reduce the market value of that issuer's securities.

o     Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities.  The Fund can invest without
         limit in securities below investment grade (commonly called "junk
         bonds") to seek total return and higher income.  Therefore, the
         Fund's credit risks are greater than those of funds that buy only
         investment-grade bonds. Lower-grade debt securities may be subject
         to greater price fluctuations and risks of loss of income and
         principal than investment-grade debt securities. Securities that are
         (or that have fallen) below investment grade are exposed to a
         greater risk that the issuers might not meet their debt
         obligations.  There may be less of a market for these securities,
         making it harder to value them or sell them at an acceptable price.
         These risks can reduce the Fund's share prices and the income it
         earns.

RISKS OF FOREIGN INVESTING. While foreign securities offer special investment
opportunities, there are also special risks that can reduce the Fund's share
prices and returns.  The change in value of a foreign currency against the
U.S. dollar will result in a change in the U.S. dollar value of securities
denominated in that foreign currency.  Currency rate changes can also affect
the distributions the Fund makes from the income it receives from foreign
securities as foreign currency values change against the U.S. dollar. Foreign
investing can result in higher transaction and operating costs for the Fund.
Foreign issuers are not subject to the same accounting and disclosure
requirements that U.S. companies are subject to.

      The value of foreign investments may be affected by exchange control
regulations, expropriation or nationalization of a company's assets, foreign
taxes, delays in settlement of transactions, changes in governmental economic
or monetary policy in the U.S. or abroad, or other political and economic
factors.

o     Special Risks of Emerging and Developing Markets.  Securities in
         emerging and developing markets present risks not found in more
         mature markets. Those securities may be more difficult to sell at an
         acceptable price and their prices may be more volatile than
         securities of issuers in more developed markets. Settlements of
         trades may be subject to greater delays so that the Fund may not
         receive the proceeds of a sale of a security on a timely basis.

         Emerging markets might have less developed trading markets,
         exchanges and legal and accounting systems.  Investments may be
         subject to greater risks of government restrictions on withdrawing
         the sales proceeds of securities from the country. Economies of
         developing countries may be more dependent on relatively few
         industries that may be highly vulnerable to local and global
         changes. Governments may be more unstable and present greater risks
         of nationalization or restrictions on foreign ownership of
         securities of local companies. These investments may be
         substantially more volatile than debt securities of issuers in the
         U.S. and other developed countries and may be very speculative.

INTEREST RATE RISKS. The values of debt securities are subject to change when
prevailing interest rates change.  When interest rates fall, the values of
already-issued debt securities generally rise.  When interest rates rise, the
values of already-issued debt securities generally fall. The magnitude of
these fluctuations will often be greater for longer-term debt securities than
shorter-term debt securities.  The Fund's share prices can go up or down when
interest rates change because of the effect of the changes on the value of
the Fund's investments in debt securities. Also, if interest rates fall, the
Fund's investments in new securities at lower yields will reduce the Fund's
income.

RISKS OF NON-DIVERSIFICATION.  The Fund is "non-diversified" under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. Accordingly, the Fund can invest a greater
portion of its assets in the debt securities of a single issuer than
"diversified" funds. For example, the Fund may invest a greater portion of
its assets in the debt obligations issued by the government of any single
country ("sovereign debt") or corporate issuer. This policy gives the Fund
more flexibility to invest in the debt securities of a single issuer than if
it were a "diversified" fund. However, the Fund intends to diversify its
investments so that it will qualify as a "regulated investment company" under
the Internal Revenue Code (although it reserves the right not to qualify). To
the extent the Fund invests a relatively high percentage of its assets in the
debt securities of a single issuer or a limited number of issuers, the Fund
is subject to additional risk of loss if those debt securities lose market
value.

RISKS OF DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS. The Fund can use derivatives to seek
increased returns or to try to hedge investment and interest rate risks. In
general terms, a derivative investment is one whose value depends on (or is
derived from) the value of an underlying asset, interest rate or index.
Options, futures, structured notes and forward contracts are examples of
derivatives the Fund uses.

      If the issuer of the derivative does not pay the amount due, the Fund
can lose money on the investment. Also, the underlying security or investment
on which the derivative is based, and the derivative itself, might not
perform the way the Manager expected it to perform. If that happens, the
Fund's share prices could fall and the Fund could get less income than
expected.  Some derivatives may be illiquid, making it difficult to value
them or sell them at an acceptable price. Using derivatives can increase the
volatility of the Fund's share prices.

HOW RISKY IS THE FUND OVERALL? The risks described above collectively form
the overall risk profile of the Fund, and can affect the value of the Fund's
investments, its investment performance and the prices of its shares. The
Fund is non-diversified and may focus its investments in the sovereign debt
of a limited number of countries. It will therefore be vulnerable to the
effects of economic changes that affect those countries.  Particular
investments and investment strategies also have risks. These risks mean that
you can lose money by investing in the Fund. When you redeem your shares,
they may be worth more or less than what you paid for them. There is no
assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objectives. In the short
term, the values of foreign debt securities, particularly those of issuers in
emerging markets, can be volatile, and the prices of the Fund's shares can go
up and down substantially. The income from some of the Fund's investments may
help cushion the Fund's total return from changes in prices, but debt
securities are subject to credit and interest rate risks that can affect
their values and income and the share prices of the Fund. In the
OppenheimerFunds spectrum, the Fund is generally more aggressive and has more
risks than bond funds that focus on U. S. government securities and
investment-grade bonds but is less aggressive than funds that invest solely
in emerging markets.

 An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or
 guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other
 government agency.
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Fund's Past Performance


The bar chart and table below show one measure of the risks of investing in
the Fund, by showing changes in the Fund's performance (for its Class A
shares) from year to year for the full calendar years since the Fund's
inception and by showing how the average annual total returns of the Fund's
shares, both before and after taxes, compare to those of a broad-based market
index. The after-tax returns for the other classes of shares will vary.


      The after-tax returns are shown for Class A shares only and are
calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income
tax rates in effect during the periods shown, and do not reflect the impact
of state or local taxes. The after-tax returns are calculated based on
certain assumptions mandated by regulation and your actual after-tax returns
may differ from those shown, depending on your individual tax situation.  The
after-tax returns set forth below are not relevant to investors who hold
their fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements such as 401(k) plans or
IRAs or to institutional investors not subject to tax. The Fund's past
investment performance, before and after taxes, is not necessarily an
indication of how the Fund will perform in the future.

Annual Total Returns (Class A) (as of 12/31 each year)


[See appendix to prospectus for data in bar chart showing the annual total
return]

Sales  charges  and taxes are not  included in the  calculations  of return in
this bar chart, and if those charges and taxes were included,  the returns may
be less than those shown.
For the period  from  1/1/03  through  9/30/03,  the  cumulative  return  (not
annualized) before taxes for Class A shares was 16.88%.
During the period shown in the bar chart,  the highest return (not annualized)
before  taxes for a  calendar  quarter  was 8.38%  (4th Qtr 02) and the lowest
return (not  annualized)  before taxes for a calendar  quarter was -9.80% (3rd
Qtr 98).

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.    From 5/31/95.
2.    Because this is a new class of shares, return data for the period
   specified is not available.
The Fund's average annual total returns include the applicable sales charge:
for Class A, the current maximum initial sales charge of 4.75%; for Class B,
the contingent deferred sales charges of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5 years).
Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase,
Class B "life-of-class" performance does not include any contingent deferred
sales charge and uses Class A performance for the period after conversion.
For Class C, average annual total returns include the 1% contingent deferred
sales charge for the 1-year period.

The returns measure the performance of a hypothetical account and assume that
all dividends and capital gains distributions have been reinvested in
additional shares. The performance of the Fund's Class A shares is compared
to the Citibank Non-U.S. Dollar World Government Bond Index, a
market-capitalization-weighted index that tracks performance of 13 government
bond markets in developed countries. The index performance includes
reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses
or taxes. The Fund's investments vary from those in the index.


Fees and Expenses of the Fund


      The following tables are meant to help you understand the fees and
expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. The Fund pays a
variety of expenses directly for management of its assets, administration,
distribution of its shares and other services. Those expenses are subtracted
from the Fund's assets to calculate the Fund's net asset values per share.
All shareholders therefore pay those expenses indirectly. Shareholders pay
other expenses directly, such as sales charges and account transaction
charges. The numbers below are based on the Fund's expenses during its fiscal
year ended September 30, 2003.

Expenses may vary in future years. "Other expenses" include transfer agent
fees, custodial fees, and accounting and legal expenses that the Fund pays.
The Transfer Agent has voluntarily undertaken to the Fund to limit the
transfer agent fees to 0.35% of average daily net assets per fiscal year for
all classes.  That undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time. For
the Fund's fiscal year ended September 30, 2003, the transfer agent fees did
not exceed the expense limitation described above.



EXAMPLES.  The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost
of investing in the Fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples assume that you invest $10,000 in a class of shares of the Fund
for the time periods indicated and reinvest your dividends and distributions.

      The first example assumes that you redeem all of your shares at the end
of those periods. The second example assumes that you keep your shares. Both
examples also assume that your investment has a 5% return each year and that
the class's operating expenses remain the same. Your actual costs may be
higher or lower because expenses will vary over time. Based on these
assumptions your expenses would be as follows:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If shares are redeemed:      1 Year        3 Years       5 Years     10 Years
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Class A Shares                $593          $844         $1,113       $1,882

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Class B Shares                $706          $937         $1,293       $1,9591

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Class C Shares                $305          $634         $1,088       $2,348

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class N Shares                $260          $496          $855        $1,867
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If shares are not            1 Year        3 Years       5 Years     10 Years
redeemed:
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Class A Shares                $593          $844         $1,113       $1,882

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Class B Shares                $206          $637         $1,093       $1,9591

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Class C Shares                $205          $634         $1,088       $2,348

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class N Shares                $160          $496          $855        $1,867
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the first example, expenses include the initial sales charge for Class A
and the applicable Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred sales
charges. In the second example, the Class A expenses include the sales
charge, but Class B, Class C and Class N expenses do not include the
contingent deferred sales charges.

1.    Class B expenses for years 7 through 10 are based on Class A expenses,
   since Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months
   after purchase.








About the Fund's Investments


THE FUND'S PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT POLICIES AND RISKS. The allocation of the
Fund's portfolio among different types of investments will vary over time
based upon the Manager's evaluation of economic and market trends.  The
Fund's portfolio might not always include all of the different types of
investments described below. At times the Fund may focus more on investing
for growth with less emphasis on income, while at other times it may have
both growth and income investments to seek total return. The Statement of
Additional Information contains more detailed information about the Fund's
investment policies and risks.


      The Manager tries to reduce risks by carefully researching securities
before they are purchased, and in some cases by using hedging techniques. The
Fund is non-diversified and may at times focus its investments in the debt
securities of a limited number of issuers. The Fund does not concentrate 25%
or more of its total assets in investments in the securities of any one
foreign government or in the debt and equity securities of companies in any
one foreign country or in any one industry.

      The debt securities the Fund buys may be rated by nationally recognized
rating organizations or they may be unrated securities assigned an equivalent
rating by the Manager. The Fund's investments may be above or below
investment grade in credit quality, and the Fund can invest without limit in
below-investment-grade debt securities, commonly called "junk bonds."


Foreign Debt Securities. The Fund can buy a variety of debt securities issued
      by foreign governments and companies, as well as "supra-national"
      entities, such as the World Bank.  They can include bonds, debentures,
      and notes, including derivative investments called "structured" notes,
      described below. The Fund's foreign debt investments can be denominated
      in U.S. dollars or in foreign currencies and can include "Brady Bonds."
      Those are U.S.-dollar denominated debt securities collateralized by
      zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities. They are typically issued by
      emerging markets countries and are considered speculative securities
      with higher risks of default. The Fund will buy foreign currency only
      in connection with the purchase and sale of foreign securities and not
      for speculation.


Participation Interests in Loans. These securities represent an undivided
      fractional interest in a loan obligation of a borrower. They are
      typically purchased from banks or dealers that have made the loan or
      are members of the loan syndicate. The loans may be to foreign or U.S.
      companies. They are subject to the risk of default by the borrower. If
      the borrower fails to pay interest or repay principal, the Fund can
      lose money on its investment. The Fund does not invest more than 5% of
      its net assets in participation interests of any one borrower.

Derivative Investments. The Fund can invest in a number of different kinds of
      "derivative" investments.  In the broadest sense, structured notes,
      options, futures contracts, and other hedging instruments the Fund uses
      may be considered "derivative investments."  In addition to using
      derivatives for hedging, the Fund may use other derivative investments
      because they offer the potential for increased income and principal
      value.

o     "Structured" Notes. The Fund buys "structured" notes, which are
         specially-designed derivative debt investments whose principal
         payments or interest payments are linked to the value of an index
         (such as a currency or securities index) or commodity. The terms of
         the instrument may be "structured" by the purchaser (the Fund) and
         the borrower issuing the note.

         The values of these notes will fall or rise in response to the
         changes in the values of the underlying security or index. They are
         subject to both credit and interest rate risks and therefore the
         Fund could receive more or less than it originally invested when a
         note matures, or it might receive less interest than the stated
         coupon payment if the underlying investment or index does not
         perform as anticipated. The prices of these notes may be very
         volatile and they may have a limited trading market, making it
         difficult for the Fund to value them or sell them at an acceptable
         price.

Hedging.  The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts, put and call options,
      and forward contracts.  These are all referred to as "hedging
      instruments."  The Fund is not required to hedge to seek its
      objectives. The Fund does not use hedging instruments for speculative
      purposes, and has limits on its use of them.

         The Fund could hedge for a number of purposes. It might do so to try
         to manage its exposure to the possibility that the prices of its
         portfolio securities may decline, or to establish a position in the
         securities market as a temporary substitute for purchasing
         individual securities.  It might do so to try to manage its exposure
         to changing interest rates. Forward contracts can be used to try to
         manage foreign currency risks on the Fund's foreign investments.

         Options trading involves the payment of premiums and has special tax
         effects on the Fund. There are also special risks in particular
         hedging strategies. In writing a put, there is a risk that the Fund
         may be required to buy the underlying security at a disadvantageous
         price.  If the Manager used a hedging instrument at the wrong time
         or judged market conditions incorrectly, the strategy could reduce
         the Fund's return. The Fund could also experience losses if the
         price of its futures and options positions were not correlated with
         its other investments or if it could not close out a position
         because of an illiquid market.


Portfolio Turnover. The Fund engages in short-term trading to seek its
      objectives. It might have a turnover rate in excess of 250% annually.
      Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction
      costs for the Fund (and may reduce performance).  If the Fund realizes
      capital gains when it sells portfolio investments, it must generally
      pay those gains out to shareholders, increasing their taxable
      distributions. The Financial Highlights table at the end of this
      Prospectus shows the Fund's portfolio turnover rates during recent
      fiscal years.


CAN THE FUND'S INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES CHANGE? The Fund's Board of
Trustees can change non-fundamental investment policies without shareholder
approval, although significant changes will be described in amendments to
this Prospectus. Fundamental policies cannot be changed without the approval
of a majority of the Fund's outstanding voting shares. The Fund's investment
objectives are fundamental policies. Other investment restrictions that are
fundamental policies are listed in the Statement of Additional Information.
An investment policy is not fundamental unless this Prospectus or the
Statement of Additional Information says that it is.

OTHER INVESTMENT STRATEGIES.  To seek its objectives, the Fund can use the
investment techniques and strategies described below. The Fund might not
always use all of them.  These techniques have risks, although some are
designed to help reduce overall investment or market risks.

Other Debt Securities.  Under normal market conditions, the Fund can invest
      (up to 35% of its total assets) in debt securities issued by U.S.
      companies or the U.S. government to seek the Fund's goals. However,
      these are not expected to be a significant part of the Fund's normal
      long term investment strategy. The Fund's investments in U.S.
      government securities can include U.S. Treasury securities and
      securities issued or guaranteed by agencies or instrumentalities of the
      U.S. government, such as collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) and
      other mortgage-related securities. Mortgage-related securities are
      subject to additional risks of unanticipated prepayments of the
      underlying mortgages, which can affect the income stream to the Fund
      from those securities as well as their values.

      The Fund can also buy U.S. commercial paper, which is short-term
      corporate debt, and asset-backed securities, which are interests in
      pools of consumer loans and other trade receivables. Prepayments on the
      underlying loans may reduce the Fund's income on the securities and
      reduce their values, as with CMOs.

Zero-Coupon and "Stripped Securities.  Some of the government and corporate
      debt securities the Fund buys are zero-coupon bonds that pay no
      interest and are issued at a substantial discount from their face
      value. "Stripped" securities are the separate income or principal
      components of a debt security. Some CMOs or other mortgage related
      securities may be stripped, with each component having a different
      proportion of principal or interest payments. One class might receive
      all the interest and the other all the principal payments. The values
      of these stripped mortgage related securities are very sensitive to
      prepayments of underlying mortgages.

      Zero-coupon and stripped securities are subject to greater fluctuations
      in price from interest rate changes than interest-bearing securities.
      The Fund may have to pay out the imputed income on zero coupon
      securities without receiving the actual cash currently. Interest-only
      securities are particularly sensitive to changes in interest rates.

Illiquid and Restricted Securities. Investments may be illiquid because they
      do not have an active trading market, making it difficult to value them
      or dispose of them promptly at an acceptable price. A restricted
      security is one that has a contractual restriction on its resale or
      which cannot be sold publicly until it is registered under the
      Securities Act of 1933. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its
      net assets in illiquid or restricted securities (the Board can increase
      that limit to 15%).  Certain restricted securities that are eligible
      for resale to qualified institutional purchasers may not be subject to
      that limit. The Manager monitors holdings of illiquid securities on an
      ongoing basis to determine whether to sell any holdings to maintain
      adequate liquidity.

"When-Issued" and "Delayed-Delivery" Transactions. The Fund can purchase
      securities on a "when-issued" basis and can purchase or sell securities
      on a "delayed-delivery" basis. Between the purchase and settlement, no
      payment is made for the security and no interest accrues to the buyer
      from the investment. There is a risk of loss to the Fund if the value
      of the when-issued security declines prior to the settlement date. No
      income accrues to the Fund on a when-issued security until the Fund
      receives the security on settlement of the trade.


Loans of Portfolio Securities. The Fund has entered into a Securities Lending
      Agreement with JP Morgan Chase. Under that agreement portfolio
      securities of the Fund may be loaned to brokers, dealers and other
      financial institutions.  The Securities Lending Agreement provides that
      loans must be adequately collateralized and may be made only in
      conformity with the Fund's Securities Lending Guidelines, adopted by
      the Fund's Board of Trustees. The value of the securities loaned may
      not exceed 25% of the value of the Fund's net assets.


Temporary Defensive and Interim Investments. In times of unstable adverse
      market or economic conditions, the Fund can invest up to 100% of its
      assets in temporary investments that are inconsistent with the Fund's
      principal investment strategies.  These would ordinarily be short-term
      U. S. government securities, highly-rated commercial paper, bank
      obligations or repurchase agreements. The Fund could also hold these
      types of securities pending the investment of proceeds from the sale of
      Fund shares or portfolio securities or to meet anticipated redemptions
      of Fund shares.  To the extent the Fund invests defensively in these
      securities, it may not achieve its primary investment objective of
      total return.

How the Fund Is Managed

THE MANAGER. The Manager chooses the Fund's investments and handles its
day-to-day business.  The Manager carries out its duties, subject to the
policies established by the Fund's Board of Trustees, under an investment
advisory agreement that states the Manager's responsibilities.  The agreement
sets the fees the Fund pays to the Manager and describes the expenses that
the Fund is responsible to pay to conduct its business.


      The Manager has been an investment advisor since January 1960. The
Manager and its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates managed more than $135
billion in assets as of September 30, 2003 including other Oppenheimer funds,
with more than seven million shareholder accounts.  The Manager is located at
Two World Financial Center, 225 Liberty Street-11th Floor, New York, New York
 10080.

Portfolio Manager.  The portfolio manager of the Fund, Ruggero de'Rossi, is
      the person principally responsible for the day-to-day management of the
      Fund's investments. Mr. de'Rossi has had this responsibility since
      March 6, 2000. Mr. de' Rossi is an officer of the Fund and a Senior
      Vice President of the Manager. Prior to joining the Manager as a Vice
      President and portfolio manager of the Fund on March 6, 2000, Mr. de'
      Rossi was a Senior Vice President and Chief Emerging Markets Strategist
      for ING Barings from July, 1998 through March, 2000.

Advisory Fees.  Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the
      Manager an advisory fee at an annual rate that declines on additional
      assets as the Fund grows: 0.75% of the first $200 million of average
      annual net assets of the Fund, 0.72% of the next $200 million, 0.69% of
      the next $200 million, 0.66% of the next $200 million, 0.60% of the
      next $200 million and 0.50% of average annual net assets in excess of
      $1 billion.  The Fund's management fee for its last fiscal year ended
      September 30, 2003 was 0.73% of average annual net assets for each
      class of shares.








ABOUT your account

How to Buy Shares

You can buy shares several ways, as described below. The Fund's Distributor,
OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., may appoint servicing agents to accept
purchase (and redemption) orders. The Distributor, in its sole discretion,
may reject any purchase order for the Fund's shares.

Buying Shares Through Your Dealer. You can buy shares through any dealer,
      broker or financial institution that has a sales agreement with the
      Distributor. Your dealer will place your order with the Distributor on
      your behalf.
Buying Shares Through the Distributor. Complete an OppenheimerFunds new
      account application and return it with a check payable to
      "OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc." Mail it to P.O. Box 5270, Denver,
      Colorado 80217. If you don't list a dealer on the application, the
      Distributor will act as your agent in buying the shares. However, we
      recommend that you discuss your investment with a financial advisor
      before you make a purchase to be sure that the Fund is appropriate for
      you.
o     Paying by Federal Funds Wire. Shares purchased through the Distributor
      may be paid for by Federal Funds wire. The minimum investment is
      $2,500. Before sending a wire, call the Distributor's Wire Department
      at 1.800.225.5677 to notify the Distributor of the wire and to receive
      further instructions.
o     Buying Shares Through OppenheimerFunds AccountLink. With AccountLink,
      you pay for shares by electronic funds transfers from your bank
      account. Shares are purchased for your account by a transfer of money
      from your bank account through the Automated Clearing House (ACH)
      system. You can provide those instructions automatically, under an
      Asset Builder Plan, described below, or by telephone instructions using
      OppenheimerFunds PhoneLink, also described below. Please refer to
      "AccountLink," below for more details.
o     Buying Shares Through Asset Builder Plans. You may purchase shares of
      the Fund automatically each month from your account at a bank or other
      financial institution under an Asset Builder Plan with AccountLink.
      Details are in the Asset Builder application and the Statement of
      Additional Information.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM AMOUNT YOU MUST INVEST? In most cases, you can buy Fund
shares with a minimum initial investment of $1,000 and make additional
investments at any time with as little as $50. There are reduced minimums
available under the following special investment plans:
o     If you establish one of the many types of retirement plan accounts that
      OppenheimerFunds offers, more fully described below under "Special
      Investor Services," you can start your account with as little as $500.
o     By using an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic Exchange Plan (details are
      in the Statement of Additional Information), or government allotment
      plan, you can make subsequent investments (after making the initial
      investment of $500) for as little as $50. For any type of account
      established under one of these plans prior to November 1, 2002, the
      minimum additional investment will remain $25.
o     The minimum investment requirement does not apply to reinvesting
      dividends from the Fund or other Oppenheimer funds (a list of them
      appears in the Statement of Additional Information, or you can ask your
      dealer or call the Transfer Agent), or reinvesting distributions from
      unit investment trusts that have made arrangements with the Distributor.

AT WHAT PRICE ARE SHARES SOLD? Shares are sold at their offering price which
is the net asset value per share plus any initial sales charge that applies.
The offering price that applies to a purchase order is based on the next
calculation of the net asset value per share that is made after the
Distributor receives the purchase order at its offices in Colorado, or after
any agent appointed by the Distributor receives the order.


Net Asset Value. The Fund calculates the net asset value of each class of
      shares as of the close of The New York Stock Exchange ("the Exchange"),
      on each day the Exchange is open for trading (referred to in this
      Prospectus as a "regular business day"). The Exchange normally closes
      at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, but may close earlier on some days. All
      references to time in this Prospectus mean "Eastern time."


      The net asset value per share is determined by dividing the value of
      the Fund's net assets attributable to a class by the number of shares
      of that class that are outstanding. To determine net asset value, the
      Fund's Board of Trustees has established procedures to value the Fund's
      securities, in general, based on market value. The Board has adopted
      special procedures for valuing illiquid and restricted securities and
      obligations for which market values cannot be readily obtained. Because
      some foreign securities trade in markets and on exchanges that operate
      on weekends and U.S. holidays, the values of some of the Fund's foreign
      investments may change on days when investors cannot buy or redeem Fund
      shares.

      If, after the close of the principal market on which a security held by
      the Fund is traded, and before the time the Fund's securities are
      priced that day, an event occurs that the Manager deems likely to cause
      a material change in the value of such security, the Fund's Board of
      Trustees has authorized the Manager, subject to the Board's review, to
      ascertain a fair value for such security.  A security's valuation may
      differ depending on the method used for determining value.


The Offering Price. To receive the offering price for a particular day, in
      most cases the Distributor or its designated agent must receive your
      order by the time the Exchange closes that day. If your order is
      received on a day when the Exchange is closed or after it has closed,
      the order will receive the next offering price that is determined after
      your order is received.

Buying Through a Dealer. If you buy shares through a dealer, your dealer must
      receive the order by the close of the Exchange and transmit it to the
      Distributor so that it is received before the Distributor's close of
      business on a regular business day (normally 5:00 P.M.) to receive that
      day's offering price, unless your dealer has made alternative
      arrangements with the Distributor. Otherwise, the order will receive
      the next offering price that is determined.








- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WHAT CLASSES OF SHARES DOES THE FUND OFFER? The Fund offers investors four
different classes of shares. The different classes of shares represent
investments in the same portfolio of securities, but the classes are subject
to different expenses and will likely have different share prices. When you
buy shares, be sure to specify the class of shares. If you do not choose a
class, your investment will be made in Class A shares.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class A Shares. If you buy Class A shares, you pay an initial sales charge
      (on investments up to $1 million for regular accounts or lesser amounts
      for certain retirement plans). The amount of that sales charge will
      vary depending on the amount you invest. The sales charge rates are
      listed in "How Can You Buy Class A Shares?" below.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class B Shares. If you buy Class B shares, you pay no sales charge at the
      time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge.
      If you sell your shares within 6 years of buying them, you will
      normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge. That contingent
      deferred sales charge varies depending on how long you own your shares,
      as described in "How Can You Buy Class B Shares?" below.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class C Shares. If you buy Class C shares, you pay no sales charge at the
      time of purchase, but you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge.
      If you sell your shares within 12 months of buying them, you will
      normally pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%, as described
      in "How Can You Buy Class C Shares?" below.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class N Shares. If you buy Class N shares (available only through certain
      retirement plans), you pay no sales charge at the time of purchase, but
      you will pay an annual asset-based sales charge. If you sell your
      shares within 18 months of the retirement plan's first purchase of
      Class N shares, you may pay a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%,
      as described in "How Can You Buy Class N Shares?" below.

WHICH CLASS OF SHARES SHOULD YOU CHOOSE? Once you decide that the Fund is an
appropriate investment for you, the decision as to which class of shares is
best suited to your needs depends on a number of factors that you should
discuss with your financial advisor. Some factors to consider are how much
you plan to invest and how long you plan to hold your investment. If your
goals and objectives change over time and you plan to purchase additional
shares, you should re-evaluate those factors to see if you should consider
another class of shares. The Fund's operating costs that apply to a class of
shares and the effect of the different types of sales charges on your
investment will vary your investment results over time.

      The discussion below is not intended to be investment advice or a
recommendation, because each investor's financial considerations are
different. The discussion below assumes that you will purchase only one class
of shares and not a combination of shares of different classes. Of course,
these examples are based on approximations of the effects of current sales
charges and expenses projected over time, and do not detail all of the
considerations in selecting a class of shares. You should analyze your
options carefully with your financial advisor before making that choice.


How Long Do You Expect to Hold Your Investment? While future financial needs
      cannot be predicted with certainty, knowing how long you expect to hold
      your investment will assist you in selecting the appropriate class of
      shares. Because of the effect of class-based expenses, your choice will
      also depend on how much you plan to invest. For example, the reduced
      sales charges available for larger purchases of Class A  shares may,
      over time, offset the effect of paying an initial sales charge on your
      investment, compared to the effect over time of higher class-based
      expenses on shares of Class B, Class C or Class N. For retirement plans
      that qualify to purchase Class N shares, Class N shares will generally
      be more advantageous than Class B and Class C shares.

   o  Investing for the Shorter Term. While the Fund is meant to be a
      long-term investment, if you have a relatively short-term investment
      horizon (that is, you plan to hold your shares for not more than six
      years), you should most likely invest in Class A or Class C shares
      rather than Class B shares. That is because of the effect of the Class
      B contingent deferred sales charge if you redeem within six years, as
      well as the effect of the Class B asset-based sales charge on the
      investment return for that class in the short-term. Class C shares
      might be the appropriate choice (especially for investments of less
      than $100,000), because there is no initial sales charge on Class C
      shares, and the contingent deferred sales charge does not apply to
      amounts you sell after holding them one year.

      However, if you plan to invest more than $100,000 for the shorter term,
      then as your investment horizon increases toward six years, Class C
      shares might not be as advantageous as Class A shares. That is because
      the annual asset-based sales charge on Class C  shares will have a
      greater impact on your account over the longer term than the reduced
      front-end sales charge available for larger purchases of Class A
      shares.


      And for non-retirement plan investors who invest $1 million or more, in
      most cases Class A shares will be the most advantageous choice, no
      matter how long you intend to hold your shares. For that reason, the
      Distributor normally will not accept purchase orders of $500,000 or
      more of Class B shares or $1 million or more of Class C shares from a
      single investor.

o     Investing for the Longer Term.  If you are investing  less than $100,000
      for the  longer-term,  for example for retirement,  and do not expect to
      need  access to your money for seven  years or more,  Class B shares may
      be appropriate.

Are There  Differences  in Account  Features  That Matter to You? Some account
      features  may  not  be  available  to  Class  B,  Class  C and  Class  N
      shareholders.  Other  features  may  not be  advisable  (because  of the
      effect of the  contingent  deferred  sales  charge) for Class B, Class C
      and Class N shareholders.  Therefore,  you should  carefully  review how
      you plan to use your  investment  account before deciding which class of
      shares to buy.


      Additionally, the dividends payable to Class B, Class C  and Class N
      shareholders will be reduced by the additional expenses borne by those
      classes that are not borne by Class A shares, such as the Class B,
      Class C and Class N asset-based sales charge described below and in the
      Statement of Additional Information. Share certificates are only
      available for Class A shares. If you are considering using your shares
      as collateral for a loan, that may be a factor to consider. Also,
      checkwriting is not available on accounts subject to a contingent
      deferred sales charge.


How Do Share Classes Affect Payments to Your Broker? A financial advisor may
      receive different compensation for selling one class of shares than for
      selling another class. It is important to remember that Class B, Class
      C and Class N contingent deferred sales charges and asset-based sales
      charges have the same purpose as the front-end sales charge on sales of
      Class A shares: to compensate the Distributor for concessions and
      expenses it pays to dealers and financial institutions for selling
      shares. The Distributor may pay additional compensation from its own
      resources to securities dealers or financial institutions based upon
      the value of shares of the Fund owned by the dealer or financial
      institution for its own account or for its customers.

SPECIAL SALES CHARGE ARRANGEMENTS AND WAIVERS. Appendix C to the Statement of
Additional Information details the conditions for the waiver of sales charges
that apply in certain cases, and the special sales charge rates that apply to
purchases of shares of the Fund by certain groups, or under specified
retirement plan arrangements or in other special types of transactions. To
receive a waiver or special sales charge rate, you must advise the
Distributor when purchasing shares or the Transfer Agent when redeeming
shares that a special condition applies.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS A SHARES? Class A shares are sold at their offering
price, which is normally net asset value plus an initial sales charge.
However, in some cases, described below, purchases are not subject to an
initial sales charge, and the offering price will be the net asset value. In
other cases, reduced sales charges may be available, as described below or in
the Statement of Additional Information. Out of the amount you invest, the
Fund receives the net asset value to invest for your account.

      The sales charge varies depending on the amount of your purchase. A
portion of the sales charge may be retained by the Distributor or allocated
to your dealer as a concession. The Distributor reserves the right to reallow
the entire concession to dealers. The current sales charge rates and
concessions paid to dealers and brokers are as follows:

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          Front-End Sales  Front-End Sales   Concession As

Can You Reduce Class A Sales Charges? You may be eligible to buy Class A
      shares at reduced sales charge rates under the Fund's "Right of
      Accumulation" or a Letter of Intent, as described in "Reduced Sales
      Charges" in the Statement of Additional Information.


Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. There is no initial sales charge on
      purchases of Class A shares of any one or more of the Oppenheimer funds
      aggregating $1 million or more, or on purchases of Class A shares of
      any one or more of the Oppenheimer funds by certain retirement plans
      that satisfied certain requirements prior to March 1, 2001
      ("grandfathered retirement accounts"). However, those Class A shares
      may be subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge, as
      described below. Qualified retirement plans (other than grandfathered
      retirement accounts, single 401(k) plans, SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs) are
      not permitted to purchase Class A shares without an initial sales
      charge but subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge, as
      described below. The Distributor pays dealers of record concessions in
      an amount equal to 1.0% of purchases of $1 million or more other than
      by grandfathered retirement accounts. For grandfathered retirement
      accounts, the concession is 0.75% of the first $2.5 million of
      purchases plus 0.25% of purchases in excess of $2.5 million. In either
      case, the concession will not be paid on purchases of shares by
      exchange or that were previously subject to a front-end sales charge
      and dealer concession.


      If you redeem any of those shares within an 18-month "holding period"
      measured from the beginning of the calendar month of their purchase, a
      contingent deferred sales charge (called the "Class A contingent
      deferred sales charge") may be deducted from the redemption proceeds.
      That sales charge will be equal to 1.0% of the lesser of:
o     the aggregate net asset value of the redeemed shares at the time of
      redemption (excluding shares purchased by reinvestment of dividends or
      capital gain distributions) or
o     the original net asset value of the redeemed shares.

      The Class A contingent deferred sales charge will not exceed the
      aggregate amount of the concessions the Distributor paid to your dealer
      on all purchases of Class A shares of all Oppenheimer funds you made
      that were subject to the Class A contingent deferred sales charge.

Purchases by Certain Retirement Plans. There is no initial sales charge on
      purchases of Class A shares of any one or more Oppenheimer funds by
      retirement plans that have $10 million or more in plan assets and that
      have entered into a special agreement with the Distributor and by
      retirement plans which are part of a retirement plan product or
      platform offered by certain banks, broker-dealers, financial advisors,
      insurance companies or recordkeepers which have entered into a special
      agreement with the Distributor. The Distributor currently pays dealers
      of record concessions in an amount equal to 0.25% of the purchase price
      of Class A shares by those retirement plans from its own resources at
      the time of sale, subject to certain exceptions as described in the
      Statement of Additional Information. There is no contingent deferred
      sales charge upon the redemption of such shares.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS B SHARES? Class B shares are sold at net asset value
per share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class B shares are
redeemed within six years from the beginning of the calendar month of their
purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge will be deducted from the
redemption proceeds. The Class B contingent deferred sales charge is paid to
compensate the Distributor for its expenses of providing distribution-related
services to the Fund in connection with the sale of Class B shares.

      The amount of the contingent deferred sales charge will depend on the
number of years since you invested and the dollar amount being redeemed,
according to the following schedule for the Class B contingent deferred sales
charge holding period:

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Years Since Beginning of Month in       Contingent Deferred Sales Charge on
Which Purchase Order was Accepted       Redemptions in That Year
                                        (As % of Amount Subject to Charge)
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 - 1                                   5.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 - 2                                   4.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 - 3                                   3.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 - 4                                   3.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 - 5                                   2.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5 - 6                                   1.0%
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More than 6                             None
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the table,  a "year" is a  12-month  period.  In  applying  the  contingent
deferred  sales charge,  all purchases are considered to have been made on the
first regular business day of the month in which the purchase was made.

Automatic Conversion of Class B Shares. Class B shares automatically convert
      to Class A shares 72 months after you purchase them. This conversion
      feature relieves Class B shareholders of the asset-based sales charge
      that applies to Class B shares under the Class B Distribution and
      Service Plan, described below. The conversion is based on the relative
      net asset value of the two classes, and no sales load or other charge
      is imposed. When any Class B shares that you hold convert, any other
      Class B shares that were acquired by reinvesting dividends and
      distributions on the converted shares will also convert to Class A
      shares. For further information on the conversion feature and its tax
      implications, see "Class B Conversion" in the Statement of Additional
      Information.

How Can you Buy Class C Shares? Class C shares are sold at net asset value
per share without an initial sales charge. However, if Class C shares are
redeemed within a holding period of 12 months from the beginning of the
calendar month of their purchase, a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0%
will be deducted from the redemption proceeds. The Class C contingent
deferred sales charge is paid to compensate the Distributor for its expenses
of providing distribution-related services to the Fund in connection with the
sale of Class C shares.

HOW CAN YOU BUY CLASS N SHARES? Class N shares are offered for sale to
retirement plans (including IRAs and 403(b) plans) that purchase $500,000 or
more of Class N shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds or to group
retirement plans (which do not include IRAs and 403(b) plans) that have
assets of $500,000 or more or 100 or more eligible participants. See
"Availability of Class N shares" in the Statement of Additional Information
for other circumstances where Class N shares are available for purchase.


      Class N shares are sold at net asset value without an initial sales
charge. A contingent deferred sales charge of 1.0% will be imposed upon the
redemption of Class N shares, if:

o     The group retirement plan is terminated or Class N shares of all
      Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an investment option of the plan
      and Class N shares are redeemed within 18 months after the plan's first
      purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer fund, or
o     With respect to an IRA or 403(b) plan, Class N shares are redeemed
      within 18 months of the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any
      Oppenheimer fund.

      Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on plan
participant accounts. The procedures for buying, selling, exchanging and
transferring the Fund's other classes of shares (other than the time those
orders must be received by the Distributor or Transfer Agent in Colorado) and
the special account features applicable to purchasers of those other classes
of shares described elsewhere in this Prospectus do not apply to Class N
shares offered through a group retirement plan. Instructions for buying,
selling, exchanging or transferring Class N shares offered through a group
retirement plan must be submitted by the plan, not by plan participants for
whose benefit the shares are held.

DISTRIBUTION AND SERVICE (12b-1) PLANS.


Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for
      Class A shares. It reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its
      costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A
      shares. Reimbursement is made quarterly at an annual rate of up to
      0.25% of the average annual 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 quarterly for providing
      personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that
      hold Class A shares. With respect to Class A shares subject to a Class
      A contingent deferred sales charge purchased by grandfathered
      retirement accounts, the Distributor pays the 0.25% service fee to
      dealers in advance for the first year after the shares are sold by the
      dealer. The Distributor retains the first year's service fee paid by
      the Fund. After the shares have been held by grandfathered retirement
      accounts for a year, the Distributor pays the service fee to dealers on
      a quarterly basis.


Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The
      Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C
      and Class N shares to pay the Distributor for its services and costs in
      distributing Class B, Class C and Class N 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 and
      0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of
      0.25% per year under the Class B, Class C and Class N plans.

      The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and
      Class C expenses by 1.0% and increase Class N expenses by 0.50% of the
      net assets per year of the respective class. Because these fees are
      paid out of the Fund's assets on an on-going basis, over time these
      fees will increase the cost of your investment and may cost you more
      than other types of sales charges.


      The Distributor uses the service fees to compensate dealers for
      providing personal services for accounts that hold Class B, Class C or
      Class N shares. The Distributor normally pays the 0.25% service fees to
      dealers in advance for the first year after the shares are sold by the
      dealer. After the shares have been held for a year, the Distributor
      pays the service fees to dealers on a quarterly basis. The Distributor
      retains the service fees for accounts for which it renders the required
      personal services.

      The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 3.75% of the
      purchase price of Class B shares to dealers from its own resources at
      the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total
      amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of
      Class B shares is therefore 4.00% of the purchase price. The
      Distributor normally retains the Class B asset-based sales charge. See
      the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

      The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the
      purchase price of Class C shares to dealers from its own resources at
      the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total
      amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of
      Class C shares is therefore 1.0% of the purchase price. The Distributor
      pays the asset-based sales charge as an ongoing concession to the
      dealer on Class C shares that have been outstanding for a year or more.
      The Distributor normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class
      C shares during the first year after the purchase of Class C shares.
      See the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

      The Distributor currently pays a sales concession of 0.75% of the
      purchase price of Class N shares to dealers from its own resources at
      the time of sale. Including the advance of the service fee, the total
      amount paid by the Distributor to the dealer at the time of sale of
      Class N shares is therefore 1.0% of the purchase price. The Distributor
      normally retains the asset-based sales charge on Class N shares. See
      the Statement of Additional Information for exceptions.

      Under certain circumstances, the Distributor will pay the full Class B,
      Class C or Class N asset-based sales charge and service fee to the
      dealer beginning in the first year after purchase of such shares in
      lieu of paying the dealer the sales concession and the advance of the
      first year's service fee at the time of purchase.

   o  The redemption check is not payable to all shareholders listed on the
      account statement
   o  The redemption check is not sent to the address of record on your
      account statement
   o  Shares are being transferred to a Fund account with a different owner
      or name
   o  Shares are being redeemed by someone (such as an Executor) other than
      the owners.

Where Can You Have Your Signature Guaranteed? The Transfer Agent will accept
      a guarantee of your signature by a number of financial institutions,
      including:
o     a U.S. bank, trust company, credit union or savings association,
o     a foreign bank that has a U.S. correspondent bank,
o     a U.S. registered dealer or broker in securities, municipal securities
      or government securities, or
o     a U.S. national securities exchange, a registered securities
      association or a clearing agency.
      If you are signing on behalf of a corporation, partnership or other
      business or as a fiduciary, you must also include your title in the
      signature.

Retirement Plan Accounts. There are special procedures to sell shares in an
      OppenheimerFunds retirement plan account. Call the Transfer Agent for a
      distribution request form. Special income tax withholding requirements
      apply to distributions from retirement plans. You must submit a
      withholding form with your redemption request to avoid delay in getting
      your money and if you do not want tax withheld. If your employer holds
      your retirement plan account for you in the name of the plan, you must
      ask the plan trustee or administrator to request the sale of the Fund
      shares in your plan account.

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Wire. While the Fund normally sends your money
      by check, you can arrange to have the proceeds of shares you sell sent
      by Federal Funds wire to a bank account you designate. It must be a
      commercial bank that is a member of the Federal Reserve wire system.
      The minimum redemption you can have sent by wire is $2,500. There is a
      $10 fee for each request. To find out how to set up this feature on
      your account or to arrange a wire, call the Transfer Agent at
      1.800.225.5677.

Checkwriting. To write checks against your Fund account, request that
privilege on your account application, or contact the Transfer Agent for
signature cards. They must be signed (with a signature guarantee) by all
owners of the account and returned to the Transfer Agent so that checks can
be sent to you to use. Shareholders with joint accounts can elect in writing
to have checks paid over the signature of one owner. If you previously signed
a signature card to establish checkwriting in another Oppenheimer fund,
simply call 1.800.225.5677 to request checkwriting for an account in this
Fund with the same registration as the other account.
o     Checks can be written to the order of whomever you wish, but may not be
      cashed at the bank the checks are payable through or the Fund's
      custodian bank.
o     Checkwriting privileges are not available for accounts holding shares
      that are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.
o     Checks must be written for at least $500. Checks written below the
      stated amount on the check will not be accepted. However, if you have
      existing checks indicating a $100 minimum, you may still use them for
      amounts of $100 or more.
o     Checks cannot be paid if they are written for more than your account
      value. Remember, your shares fluctuate in value and you should not
      write a check close to the total account value.
o     You may not write a check that would require the Fund to redeem shares
      that were purchased by check or Asset Builder Plan payments within the
      prior 10 days.
o     Don't use your checks if you changed your Fund account number, until
      you receive new checks.

HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY MAIL? Write a letter of instruction that includes:
   o  Your name
   o  The Fund's name
   o  Your Fund account number (from your account statement)
   o  The dollar amount or number of shares to be redeemed
   o  Any special payment instructions
   o  Any share certificates for the shares you are selling
   o  The signatures of all registered owners exactly as the account is
      registered, and
   o  Any special documents requested by the Transfer Agent to assure proper
      authorization of the person asking to sell the shares.

Use the following address for            Send courier or express mail
requests by mail:                        requests to:

HOW DO you SELL SHARES BY TELEPHONE? You and your dealer representative of
record may also sell your shares by telephone. To receive the redemption
price calculated on a particular regular business day, your call must be
received by the Transfer Agent by the close of the Exchange that day, which
is normally 4:00 P.M., but may be earlier on some days. You may not redeem
shares held in an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored qualified retirement plan
account or under a share certificate by telephone.

   o  To redeem shares through a service representative or automatically on
      PhoneLink, call 1.800.225.5677.
      Whichever method you use, you may have a check sent to the address on
the account statement, or, if you have linked your Fund account to your bank
account on AccountLink, you may have the proceeds sent to that bank account.

Are There Limits on Amounts Redeemed by Telephone?
Telephone Redemptions Paid by Check. Up to $100,000 may be redeemed by
      telephone in any seven-day period. The check must be payable to all
      owners of record of the shares and must be sent to the address on the
      account statement. This service is not available within 30 days of
      changing the address on an account.

Telephone Redemptions Through AccountLink or by Wire. There are no dollar
      limits on telephone redemption proceeds sent to a bank account
      designated when you establish AccountLink. Normally the ACH transfer to
      your bank is initiated on the business day after the redemption. You do
      not receive dividends on the proceeds of the shares you redeemed while
      they are waiting to be transferred.

      If you have requested Federal Funds wire privileges for your account,
      the wire of the redemption proceeds will normally be transmitted on the
      next bank business day after the shares are redeemed. There is a
      possibility that the wire may be delayed up to seven days to enable the
      Fund to sell securities to pay the redemption proceeds. No dividends
      are accrued or paid on the proceeds of shares that have been redeemed
      and are awaiting transmittal by wire.

CAN  YOU  SELL  SHARES  THROUGH  your  DEALER?   The   Distributor   has  made
arrangements  to repurchase  Fund shares from dealers and brokers on behalf of
their  customers.  Brokers or dealers  may  charge for that  service.  If your
shares are held in the name of your dealer,  you must redeem them through your
dealer.

HOW CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES AFFECT REDEMPTIONS. If you purchase
shares subject to a Class A, Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred
sales charge and redeem any of those shares during the applicable holding
period for the class of shares, the contingent deferred sales charge will be
deducted from the redemption proceeds (unless you are eligible for a waiver
of that sales charge based on the categories listed in Appendix C to the
Statement of Additional Information and you advise the Transfer Agent of your
eligibility for the waiver when you place your redemption request.)

      A  contingent  deferred  sales charge will be based on the lesser of the
net  asset  value of the  redeemed  shares  at the time of  redemption  or the
original net asset value.  A contingent  deferred  sales charge is not imposed
on:
o     the amount of your  account  value  represented  by an  increase  in net
      asset value over the initial purchase price,
o     shares  purchased by the  reinvestment  of  dividends  or capital  gains
      distributions, or
o     shares redeemed in the special circumstances  described in Appendix C to
      the Statement of Additional Information.
      To determine whether a contingent deferred sales charge applies to a
redemption, the Fund redeems shares in the following order:
   1. shares acquired by reinvestment of dividends and capital gains
      distributions,
   2. shares held for the holding period that applies to the class, and
   3. shares held the longest during the holding period.

      Contingent deferred sales charges are not charged when you exchange
shares of the Fund for shares of other Oppenheimer funds. However, if you
exchange them within the applicable contingent deferred sales charge holding
period, the holding period will carry over to the fund whose shares you
acquire. Similarly, if you acquire shares of this Fund by exchanging shares
of another Oppenheimer fund that are still subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge holding period, that holding period will carry over to this Fund.

How to Exchange Shares

Shares of the Fund may be exchanged for shares of certain Oppenheimer funds
at net asset value per share at the time of exchange, without sales charge.
Shares of the Fund can be purchased by exchange of shares of other
Oppenheimer funds on the same basis. To exchange shares, you must meet
several conditions:
   o  Shares of the fund selected for exchange must be available for sale in
      your state of residence.
   o  The prospectuses of both funds must offer the exchange privilege.
   o  You must hold the shares you buy when you establish your account for at
      least seven days before you can exchange them. After the account is
      open seven days, you can exchange shares every regular business day.
   o  You must meet the minimum purchase requirements for the fund whose
      shares you purchase by exchange.
   o  Before exchanging into a fund, you must obtain and read its prospectus.
      Shares of a particular class of the Fund may be exchanged only for
shares of the same class in the other Oppenheimer funds. For example, you can
exchange Class A shares of this Fund only for Class A shares of another fund.
In some cases, sales charges may be imposed on exchange transactions. For tax
purposes, exchanges of shares involve a sale of the shares of the fund you
own and a purchase of the shares of the other fund, which may result in a
capital gain or loss. Please refer to "How to Exchange Shares" in the
Statement of Additional Information for more details.

      You can find a list of Oppenheimer funds currently available for
exchanges in the Statement of Additional Information or obtain one by calling
a service representative at 1.800.225.5677. That list can change from time to
time.

HOW DO you SUBMIT EXCHANGE REQUESTS? Exchanges may be requested in writing or
by telephone:

Written Exchange Requests. Submit an OppenheimerFunds Exchange Request form,
      signed by all owners of the account. Send it to the Transfer Agent at
      the address on the back cover. Exchanges of shares held under
      certificates cannot be processed unless the Transfer Agent receives the
      certificates with the request.
Telephone  Exchange  Requests.  Telephone exchange requests may be made either
      by calling a service  representative or by using PhoneLink for automated
      exchanges by calling  1.800.225.5677.  Telephone  exchanges  may be made
      only  between  accounts  that are  registered  with the same name(s) and
      address.  Shares  held  under  certificates  may  not  be  exchanged  by
      telephone.

ARE THERE LIMITATIONS ON EXCHANGES? There are certain exchange policies you
should be aware of:
o     Shares are redeemed from one fund and purchased from the other fund in

      the exchange transaction on the same regular business day on which the
      Transfer Agent receives an exchange request that conforms to the
      policies described above. It must be received by the close of the
      Exchange that day, which is normally 4:00 P.M. but may be earlier on
      some days.
o     The interests of the Fund's long-term shareholders and its ability to
      manage its investments may be adversely affected when its shares are
      repeatedly bought and sold in response to short-term market
      fluctuations--also known as "market timing." When large dollar amounts
      are involved, the Fund may have difficulty implementing long-term
      investment strategies, because it cannot predict how much cash it will
      have to invest. Market timing also may force the Fund to sell portfolio
      securities at disadvantageous times to raise the cash needed to buy a
      market timer's Fund shares. These factors may hurt the Fund's
      performance and its shareholders. When the Manager believes frequent
      trading would have a disruptive effect on the Fund's ability to manage
      its investments, the Manager and the Fund may reject purchase orders
      and exchanges into the Fund by any person, group or account that the
      Manager believes to be a market timer. All accounts under common
      ownership or control within the Oppenheimer funds complex may be
      counted together for purposes of determining market timing with respect
      to any exchange involving this Fund.
   o  The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
      time. The Fund may refuse any exchange order and is currently not
      obligated to provide notice before rejecting an exchange order.

   o  If the Transfer Agent cannot exchange all the shares you request
      because of a restriction cited above, only the shares eligible for
      exchange will be exchanged.

Shareholder Account Rules and Policies

More information about the Fund's policies and procedures for buying, selling
and exchanging shares is contained in the Statement of Additional Information.
A $12 annual fee is assessed on any account valued at less than $500. The fee

      is automatically deducted from accounts annually on or about the second
      to last business day of September. See the Statement of Additional
      Information, or existing shareholders may visit the OppenheimerFunds
      website, to learn how you can avoid this fee and for circumstances when
      this fee will not be assessed.

The offering of shares may be suspended during any period in which the
      determination of net asset value is suspended, and the offering may be
      suspended by the Board of Trustees at any time the Board believes it is
      in the Fund's best interest to do so.
Telephone transaction privileges for purchases, redemptions or exchanges may
      be modified, suspended or terminated by the Fund at any time. The Fund
      will provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable
      law. If an account has more than one owner, the Fund and the Transfer
      Agent may rely on the instructions of any one owner. Telephone
      privileges apply to each owner of the account and the dealer
      representative of record for the account unless the Transfer Agent
      receives cancellation instructions from an owner of the account.
The Transfer Agent will record any telephone calls to verify data concerning
      transactions and has adopted other procedures to confirm that telephone
      instructions are genuine, by requiring callers to provide tax
      identification numbers and other account data or by using PINs, and by
      confirming such transactions in writing. The Transfer Agent and the
      Fund will not be liable for losses or expenses arising out of telephone
      instructions reasonably believed to be genuine.
Redemption or transfer requests will not be honored until the Transfer Agent
      receives all required documents in proper form. From time to time, the
      Transfer Agent in its discretion may waive certain of the requirements
      for redemptions stated in this Prospectus.
Dealers that perform account transactions for their clients by participating
      in NETWORKING through the National Securities Clearing Corporation are
      responsible for obtaining their clients' permission to perform those
      transactions, and are responsible to their clients who are shareholders
      of the Fund if the dealer performs any transaction erroneously or
      improperly.
The redemption price for shares will vary from day to day because the value
      of the securities in the Fund's portfolio fluctuates. The redemption
      price, which is the net asset value per share, will normally differ for
      each class of shares. The redemption value of your shares may be more
      or less than their original cost.
Payment for redeemed shares ordinarily is made in cash. It is forwarded by
      check, or through AccountLink or by Federal Funds wire (as elected by
      the shareholder) within seven days after the Transfer Agent receives
      redemption instructions in proper form. However, under unusual
      circumstances determined by the Securities and Exchange Commission,
      payment may be delayed or suspended. For accounts registered in the
      name of a broker-dealer, payment will normally be forwarded within
      three business days after redemption.
The Transfer Agent may delay processing any type of redemption payment as
      described under "How to Sell Shares" for recently purchased shares, but
      only until the purchase payment has cleared. That delay may be as much
      as 10 days from the date the shares were purchased. That delay may be
      avoided if you purchase shares by Federal Funds wire or certified
      check, or arrange with your bank to provide telephone or written
      assurance to the Transfer Agent that your purchase payment has cleared.
Involuntary redemptions of small accounts may be made by the Fund if the
      account value has fallen below $200 for reasons other than the fact
      that the market value of shares has dropped. In some cases, involuntary
      redemptions may be made to repay the Distributor for losses from the
      cancellation of share purchase orders.

Shares may be "redeemed in kind" under unusual circumstances (such as a lack
      of liquidity in the Fund's portfolio to meet redemptions). This means
      that the redemption proceeds will be paid with liquid securities from
      the Fund's portfolio. If the Fund redeems your shares in kind, you may
      bear transaction costs and will bear market risks until such time as
      such securities are converted into cash.
Federal regulations may require the Fund to obtain your name, your date of
      birth (for a natural person), your residential street address or
      principal place of business and your Social Security Number, Employer
      Identification Number or other government issued identification when
      you open an account. Additional information may be required in certain
      circumstances or to open corporate accounts.  The Fund or the Transfer
      Agent may use this information to attempt to verify your identity.  The
      Fund may not be able to establish an account if the necessary
      information is not received.  The Fund may also place limits on account
      transactions while it is in the process of attempting to verify your
      identity.  Additionally, if the Fund is unable to verify your identity
      after your account is established, the Fund may be required to redeem
      your shares and close your account.

"Backup withholding" of federal income tax may be applied against taxable
      dividends, distributions and redemption proceeds (including exchanges)
      if you fail to furnish the Fund your correct, certified Social Security
      or Employer Identification Number when you sign your application, or if
      you under-report your income to the Internal Revenue Service.
To avoid sending duplicate copies of materials to households, the Fund will
      mail only one copy of each prospectus, annual and semi-annual report
      and annual notice of the Fund's privacy policy to shareholders having
      the same last name and address on the Fund's records. The consolidation
      of these mailings, called householding, benefits the Fund through
      reduced mailing expense.

      If you want to receive multiple copies of these materials, you may call
      the Transfer Agent at 1.800.225.5677. You may also notify the Transfer
      Agent in writing. Individual copies of prospectuses, reports and
      privacy notices will be sent to you commencing within 30 days after the
      Transfer Agent receives your request to stop householding.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes


Dividends. The Fund intends to declare dividends separately for each class of
shares from net investment income each regular business day and pay those
dividends to shareholders monthly on a date selected by the Board of
Trustees. Daily dividends will not be declared or paid on newly purchased
shares until Federal Funds are available to the Fund from the purchase
payment for shares. Dividends and distributions paid to Class A  shares will
generally be higher than dividends for Class B, Class C and Class N shares,
which normally have higher expenses than Class A shares. The Fund has no
fixed dividend rate and cannot guarantee that it will pay any dividends or
distributions.


Capital Gains. The Fund may realize capital gains on the sale of portfolio
securities. If it does, it may make distributions out of any net short-term
or long-term capital gains in December of each year. The Fund may make
supplemental distributions of dividends and capital gains following the end
of its fiscal year. There can be no assurance that the Fund will pay any
capital gains distributions in a particular year.

WHAT CHOICES DO YOU HAVE FOR RECEIVING DISTRIBUTIONS? When you open your
account, specify on your application how you want to receive your dividends
and distributions. You have four options:
Reinvest All Distributions in the Fund. You can elect to reinvest all
      dividends and capital gains distributions in additional shares of the
      Fund.
Reinvest Dividends or Capital Gains. You can elect to reinvest some
      distributions (dividends, short-term capital gains or long-term capital
      gains distributions) in the Fund while receiving the other types of
      distributions by check or having them sent to your bank account through
      AccountLink.
Receive All Distributions in Cash. You can elect to receive a check for all
      dividends and capital gains distributions or have them sent to your
      bank through AccountLink.
Reinvest Your Distributions in Another OppenheimerFunds Account. You can
      reinvest all distributions in the same class of shares of another
      OppenheimerFunds account you have established.

TAXES. If your shares are not held in a tax-deferred retirement account, you
should be aware of the following tax implications of investing in the Fund.
Distributions are subject to federal income tax and may be subject to state
or local taxes. Dividends paid from short-term capital gains and net
investment income are taxable as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains are
taxable as long-term capital gains when distributed to shareholders. It does
not matter how long you have held your shares. Whether you reinvest your
distributions in additional shares or take them in cash, the tax treatment is
the same.

      If more than 50% of the Fund's assets are invested in foreign
securities at the end of any fiscal year, the Fund may elect under the
Internal Revenue Code to permit shareholders to take a credit or deduction on
their federal income tax returns for foreign taxes paid by the Fund.

      Every year the Fund will send you and the IRS a statement showing the
amount of any taxable distribution you received in the previous year. Any
long-term capital gains will be separately identified in the tax information
the Fund sends you after the end of the calendar year.


Avoid "Buying a Distribution." If you buy shares on or just before the Fund
      declares a capital gains distribution, you will pay the full price for
      the shares and then receive a portion of the price back as a taxable
      capital gain.

Remember, There May be Taxes on Transactions. Because the Fund's share prices
      fluctuate, you may have a capital gain or loss when you sell or
      exchange your shares. A capital gain or loss is the difference between
      the price you paid for the shares and the price you received when you
      sold them. Any capital gain is subject to capital gains tax.
Returns of Capital Can Occur. In certain cases, distributions made by the
      Fund may be considered a non-taxable return of capital to shareholders.
      If that occurs, it will be identified in notices to shareholders.

      This  information  is only a  summary  of  certain  federal  income  tax
information  about your  investment.  You should consult with your tax advisor
about  the  effect  of an  investment  in the  Fund  on  your  particular  tax
situation.

Financial Highlights

The Financial Highlights Table is presented to help you understand the Fund's
financial performance for the past five fiscal years. Certain information
reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the
table represent the rate that an investor would have earned (or lost) on an
investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and
distributions). This information has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP,
the Fund's independent auditors, whose report, along with the Fund's
financial statements, is included in the Statement of Additional Information,
which is available on request.

ABOUT THE FUND

Additional Information About the Fund's Investment Policies and Risks

      The investment objectives, the principal investment policies and the
main risks of the Fund are described in the Prospectus. This Statement of
Additional Information contains supplemental information about those policies
and risks and the types of securities that the Fund's investment Manager,
OppenheimerFunds, Inc., can select for the Fund. Additional information is
also provided about the strategies that the Fund may use to try to achieve
its objectives.

The Fund's Investment Policies. The composition of the Fund's portfolio and
the techniques and strategies that the Fund's Manager may use in selecting
portfolio securities will vary over time. The Fund is not required to use all
of the investment techniques and strategies described below at all times in
seeking its goal. It may use some of the special investment techniques and
strategies at some times or not at all.

      In selecting securities for the Fund's portfolio, the Manager evaluates
the merits of particular securities primarily through the exercise of its own
investment analysis. That process may include, among other things, evaluation
of the issuer's historical operations, prospects for the industry of which
the issuer is part, the issuer's financial condition, its pending product
developments and business (and those of competitors), the effect of general
market and economic conditions on the issuer's business, and legislative
proposals that might affect the issuer.

      |X|  Foreign Securities. The Fund expects to invest primarily in
foreign securities. For the most part, these will be debt securities issued
or guaranteed by foreign companies or governments, including supra-national
entities. "Foreign securities" include equity and debt securities of
companies organized under the laws of countries other than the United States
and debt securities issued or guaranteed by governments other than the U.S.
government or by foreign supra-national entities. They also include
securities of companies (including those that are located in the U.S. or
organized under U.S. law) that derive a significant portion of their revenue
or profits from foreign businesses, investments or sales, or that have a
significant portion of their assets abroad. They may be traded on foreign
securities exchanges or in the foreign over-the-counter markets.

      Securities of foreign issuers that are represented by American
Depository Receipts or that are listed on a U.S. securities exchange or
traded in the U.S. over-the-counter markets are not considered "foreign
securities" for the purpose of the Fund's investment allocations, because
they are not subject to many of the special considerations and risks,
discussed below, that apply to foreign securities traded and held abroad.

      Because the Fund may purchase securities denominated in foreign
currencies, a change in the value of such foreign currency against the U.S.
dollar will result in a change in the amount of income the Fund has available
for distribution.  Because a portion of the Fund's investment income may be
received in foreign currencies, the Fund will be required to compute its
income in U.S. dollars for distribution to shareholders, and therefore the
Fund will absorb the cost of currency fluctuations.  After the Fund has
distributed income, subsequent foreign currency losses may result in the
Fund's having distributed more income in a particular fiscal period than was
available from investment income, which could result in a return of capital
to shareholders.

      Investing in foreign securities offers potential benefits not available
from investing solely in securities of domestic issuers. They include the
opportunity to invest in foreign issuers that appear to offer growth
potential, or in foreign countries with economic policies or business cycles
different from those of the U.S., or to reduce fluctuations in portfolio
value by taking advantage of foreign stock markets that do not move in a
manner parallel to U.S. markets. The Fund will hold foreign currency only in
connection with the purchase or sale of foreign securities.

o     Foreign Debt Obligations. The debt obligations of foreign governments
and entities may or may not be supported by the full faith and credit of the
foreign government. The Fund may buy securities issued by certain
"supra-national" entities, which include entities designated or supported by
governments to promote economic reconstruction or development, international
banking organizations and related government agencies. Examples are the
International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (commonly called the
"World Bank"), the Asian Development bank and the Inter-American Development
Bank.

      The governmental members of these supranational entities are
"stockholders" that typically make capital contributions and may be committed
to make additional capital contributions if the entity is unable to repay its
borrowings. A supra-national entity's lending activities may be limited to a
percentage of its total capital, reserves and net income. There can be no
assurance that the constituent foreign governments will continue to be able
or willing to honor their capitalization commitments for those entities.

      The Fund can invest in U.S. dollar-denominated "Brady Bonds." These
foreign debt obligations may be fixed-rate par bonds or floating-rate
discount bonds. They are generally collateralized in full as to repayment of
principal at maturity by U.S. Treasury zero coupon obligations that have the
same maturity as the Brady Bonds.  Brady Bonds can be viewed as having three
or four valuation components: (i) the collateralized repayment of principal
at final maturity; (ii) the collateralized interest payments; (iii) the
uncollateralized interest payments; and (iv) any uncollateralized repayment
of principal at maturity. Those uncollateralized amounts constitute what is
called the "residual risk."

      If there is a default on collateralized Brady Bonds resulting in
acceleration of the payment obligations of the issuer, the zero coupon U.S.
Treasury securities held as collateral for the payment of principal will not
be distributed to investors, nor will those obligations be sold to distribute
the proceeds.  The collateral will be held by the collateral agent to the
scheduled maturity of the defaulted Brady Bonds. The defaulted bonds will
continue to remain outstanding, and the face amount of the collateral will
equal the principal payments which would have then been due on the Brady
Bonds in the normal course.  Because of the residual risk of Brady Bonds and
the history of defaults with respect to commercial bank loans by public and
private entities of countries issuing Brady Bonds, Brady Bonds are considered
speculative investments.

Risks of Foreign Investing.  Investments in foreign securities may offer
special opportunities for investing but also present special additional risks
and considerations not typically associated with investments in domestic
securities. Some of these additional risks are:
o     reduction of income by foreign taxes;

o






      fluctuation in value of foreign investments due to changes in currency
         rates or currency control regulations (for example, currency
         blockage);
o     transaction charges for currency exchange;
o     lack of public information about foreign issuers;
o     lack of uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards
         in foreign countries comparable to those applicable to domestic
         issuers;
o     less volume on foreign exchanges than on U.S. exchanges;
o     greater volatility and less liquidity on foreign markets than in the
         U.S.;
o     less governmental regulation of foreign issuers, stock exchanges and
         brokers than in the U.S.;
o     greater difficulties in commencing lawsuits;
o     higher brokerage commission rates than in the U.S.;
o     increased risks of delays in settlement of portfolio transactions or
         loss of certificates for portfolio securities;
o     possibilities in some countries of expropriation, confiscatory
         taxation, political, financial or social instability or adverse
         diplomatic developments; and
o     unfavorable differences between the U.S. economy and foreign
         economies.

            In the past, U.S. government policies have discouraged certain
investments abroad by U.S. investors, through taxation or other restrictions,
and it is possible that such restrictions could be re-imposed.

o     Special Risks of Emerging Markets. Emerging and developing markets
abroad may also offer special opportunities for growth investing but have
greater risks than more developed foreign markets, such as those in Europe
and Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. There may be even less
liquidity in their securities markets, and settlements of purchases and sales
of securities may be subject to additional delays. They are subject to
greater risks of limitations on the repatriation of income and profits
because of currency restrictions imposed by local governments. Those
countries may also be subject to the risk of greater political and economic
instability, which can greatly affect the volatility of prices of securities
in those countries. The Manager will consider these factors when evaluating
securities in these markets, because the selection of those securities must
be consistent with the Fund's investment objectives.

         |X|  Debt Securities. The Fund can invest in a variety of debt
securities to seek its objectives. Foreign debt securities are subject to the
risks of foreign securities described above. In general, debt securities are
also subject to two additional types of risk: credit risk and interest rate
risk.

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

      The Fund's debt investments can include investment-grade and
non-investment-grade bonds (commonly referred to as "junk bonds").
Investment-grade bonds are bonds rated at least "Baa" by Moody's Investors
Service, Inc., ("Moody's") at least "BBB" by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group
("Standard & Poor's") or Fitch, Inc., ("Fitch") or have comparable ratings by
another nationally recognized statistical rating organization.
      In making investments in debt securities, the Manager may rely to some
extent on the ratings of ratings organizations or it may use its own research
to evaluate a security's credit-worthiness. If the securities are unrated, to
be considered part of the Fund's holdings of investment-grade securities,
they must be judged by the Manager to be of comparable quality to bonds rated
as investment grade by a rating organization.

o     Interest Rate Risks. 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.

      Fluctuations in the market value of fixed-income securities after the
Fund buys them will not affect the interest payable on those securities, nor
the cash income from them.  However, those price fluctuations will be
reflected in the valuations of the securities, and therefore the Fund's net
asset values will be affected by those fluctuations.

o     Special Risks of Lower-Grade Securities. The Fund can invest without
limit in lower-grade debt securities, if the Manager believes it is
consistent with the Fund's objectives. Because lower-rated securities tend to
offer higher yields than investment grade securities, the Fund may invest in
lower grade securities if the Manager is trying to achieve greater income. In
some cases, the appreciation possibilities of lower-grade securities may be a
reason they are selected for the Fund's portfolio. However, these investments
will be made only when consistent with the Fund's overall goal of total
return.

      "Lower-grade" debt securities are those rated below "investment grade"
which means they have a rating lower than "Baa" by Moody's or lower than
"BBB" by Standard & Poor's or Fitch, or similar ratings by other rating
organizations. If they are unrated, and are determined by the Manager to be
of comparable quality to debt securities rated below investment grade, they
are considered part of the Fund's portfolio of lower-grade securities.  The
Fund can invest in securities rated as low as "C" or "D" or which may be in
default at the time the Fund buys them.

      Some of the special credit risks of lower-grade securities are
discussed below. There is a greater risk that the issuer may default on its
obligation to pay interest or to repay principal than in the case of
investment grade securities. The issuer's low creditworthiness may increase
the potential for its insolvency. An overall decline in values in the high
yield bond market is also more likely during a period of a general economic
downturn. An economic downturn or an increase in interest rates could
severely disrupt the market for high yield bonds, adversely affecting the
values of outstanding bonds as well as the ability of issuers to pay interest
or repay principal. In the case of foreign high yield bonds, these risks are
in addition to the special risk of foreign investing discussed in the
Prospectus and in this Statement of Additional Information.

      To the extent they can be converted into stock, convertible securities
may be less subject to some of these risks than non-convertible high yield
bonds, since stock may be more liquid and less affected by some of these risk
factors.






      While securities rated "Baa" by Moody's or "BBB" by Standard & Poor's
or Fitch are investment grade and are not regarded as junk bonds, those
securities may be subject to special risks, and have some speculative
characteristics. A description of the debt security ratings categories of the
principal rating organizations is included in Appendix A to this Statement of
Additional Information.

      |X|  Portfolio Turnover.  "Portfolio turnover" describes the rate at
which the Fund traded its portfolio securities during its last fiscal year.
For example, if a fund sold all of its securities during the year, its
portfolio turnover rate would have been 100%. The Fund's portfolio turnover
rate will fluctuate from year to year, and the Fund may continue to have a
portfolio turnover rate of more than 250% annually.

      Increased portfolio turnover creates higher brokerage and transaction
costs for the Fund, which may reduce its overall performance. Additionally,
the realization of capital gains from selling portfolio securities may result
in distributions of taxable capital gains to shareholders, since the Fund
will normally distribute all of its capital gains realized each year, to
avoid excise taxes under the Internal Revenue Code.

Other Investment Techniques and Strategies. In seeking its objectives, the
Fund may from time to time use the types of investment strategies and
investments described below. It is not required to use all of these
strategies at all times, and at times may not use them.

      |X|  Zero Coupon Securities. The Fund may buy zero-coupon, delayed
interest and "stripped" securities. Stripped securities are debt securities
whose interest coupons are separated from the security and sold separately.
The Fund can buy different types of zero-coupon or stripped securities,
including, among others, foreign debt securities and U.S. Treasury notes or
bonds that have been stripped of their interest coupons, U.S. Treasury bills
issued without interest coupons, and certificates representing interests in
stripped securities.

      Zero-coupon securities do not make periodic interest payments and are
sold at a deep discount from their face value. The buyer recognizes a rate of
return determined by the gradual appreciation of the security, which is
redeemed at face value on a specified maturity date.  This discount depends
on the time remaining until maturity, as well as prevailing interest rates,
the liquidity of the security and the credit quality of the issuer.  In the
absence of threats to the issuer's credit quality, the discount typically
decreases as the maturity date approaches.  Some zero-coupon securities are
convertible, in that they are zero-coupon securities until a predetermined
date, at which time they convert to a security with a specified coupon rate.

      Because zero-coupon securities pay no interest and compound
semi-annually at the rate fixed at the time of their issuance, their value is
generally more volatile than the value of other debt securities.  Their value
may fall more dramatically than the value of interest-bearing securities when
interest rates rise.  When prevailing interest rates fall, zero-coupon
securities tend to rise more rapidly in value because they have a fixed rate
of return.

      The Fund's investment in zero-coupon securities may cause the Fund to
recognize income and make distributions to shareholders before it receives
any cash payments on the zero-coupon investment.  To generate cash to satisfy
those distribution requirements, the Fund may have to sell portfolio
securities that it otherwise might have continued to hold or to use cash
flows from other sources such as the sale of Fund shares.

      |X| U.S. Government Securities.  These are securities issued or
guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or other government agencies or corporate
entities referred to as "instrumentalities." The obligations of U.S.
government agencies or instrumentalities in which the Fund may invest may or
may not be guaranteed or supported by the "full faith and credit" of the
United States.  "Full faith and credit" means generally that the taxing power
of the U.S. government is pledged to the payment of interest and repayment of
principal on a security. If a security is not backed by the full faith and
credit of the United States, the owner of the security must look principally
to the agency issuing the obligation for repayment. The owner might be able
to assert a claim against the United States if the issuing agency or
instrumentality does not meet its commitment.  The Fund will invest in
securities of U.S. government agencies and instrumentalities only if the
Manager is satisfied that the credit risk with respect to such
instrumentality is minimal.

o     U.S. Treasury Obligations. These include Treasury bills (maturities of
one year or less when issued), Treasury notes (maturities of more than one
year and up to 10 years), and Treasury bonds (maturities of more than 10
years). Treasury securities are backed by the full faith and credit of the
United States as to timely payments of interest and repayments of principal.
They also can include U. S. Treasury securities that have been "stripped" by
a Federal Reserve Bank, zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities described above,
and Treasury Inflation-Protection Securities ("TIPS").

o     Obligations Issued or Guaranteed by U.S. Government Agencies or
Instrumentalities. These include direct obligations and mortgage related
securities that have different levels of credit support from the government.
Some are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, such
as Government National Mortgage Association pass-through mortgage
certificates (called "Ginnie Maes"). Some are supported by the right of the
issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury under certain circumstances, such as
Federal National Mortgage Association bonds ("Fannie Maes"). Others are
supported only by the credit of the entity that issued them, such as Federal
Home Loan Mortgage Corporation obligations ("Freddie Macs").

o     Mortgage-Related U.S. Government Securities. These include interests in
pools of residential or commercial mortgages, in the form of collateralized
mortgage obligations ("CMOs") and other "pass-through" mortgage securities.
CMOs that are U.S. government securities have collateral to secure payment of
interest and principal. They may be issued in different series with different
interest rates and maturities. The collateral is either in the form of
mortgage pass-through certificates issued or guaranteed by a U.S. agency or
instrumentality or
mortgage loans insured by a U.S. government agency. The Fund can have
significant amounts of its assets invested in mortgage related U.S.
government securities.

      The prices and yields of CMOs are determined, in part, by assumptions
about the cash flows from the rate of payments of the underlying mortgages.
Changes in interest rates may cause the rate of expected prepayments of those
mortgages to change. In general, prepayments increase when general interest
rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise.

      If prepayments of mortgages underlying a CMO occur faster than expected
when interest rates fall, the market value and yield of the CMO will be
reduced. Additionally, the Fund may have to reinvest the prepayment proceeds
in other securities paying interest at lower rates, which could reduce the
Fund's yield.

      When interest rates rise rapidly, if prepayments occur more slowly than
expected, a short- or medium-term CMO can in effect become a long-term
security, subject to greater fluctuations in value. These are the prepayment
risks described above and can make the prices of CMOs very volatile when
interest rates change. The prices of longer-term debt securities tend to
fluctuate more than those of shorter-term debt securities. That volatility
will affect the Fund's share prices.

      |X|  Commercial (Privately-Issued) Mortgage Related Securities. The
Fund may invest in commercial mortgage related securities issued by private
entities. Generally these are multi-class debt or pass through certificates
secured by mortgage loans on commercial properties. They are subject to the
credit risk of the issuer. These securities typically are structured to
provide protection to investors in senior classes from possible losses on the
underlying loans. They do so by having holders of subordinated classes take
the first loss if there are defaults on the underlying loans. They may also
be protected to some extent by guarantees, reserve funds or additional
collateralization mechanisms.

      |X|  "Stripped" Mortgage Related Securities. The Fund may invest in
stripped mortgage-related securities that are created by segregating the cash
flows from underlying mortgage loans or mortgage securities to create two or
more new securities. Each has a specified percentage of the underlying
security's principal or interest payments. These are a form of derivative
investment.

      Mortgage securities may be partially stripped so that each class
receives some interest and some principal. However, they may be completely
stripped. In that case all of the interest is distributed to holders of one
type of security, known as an "interest-only" security, or "I/O," and all of
the principal is distributed to holders of another type of security, known as
a "principal-only" security or "P/O." Strips can be created for pass through
certificates or CMOs.

      The yields to maturity of I/Os and P/Os are very sensitive to principal
repayments (including prepayments) on the underlying mortgages. If the
underlying mortgages experience greater than anticipated prepayments of
principal, the Fund might not fully recoup its investment in an I/O based on
those assets. If underlying mortgages experience less than anticipated
prepayments of principal, the yield on the P/Os based on them could decline
substantially.  The market for some of these securities may be limited,
making it difficult for the Fund to dispose of its holdings at an acceptable
price.

      |X| Floating Rate and Variable Rate Obligations.       The interest
rate on a floating rate note is based on a stated prevailing market rate,
such as a bank's prime rate, the 91-day U.S. Treasury Bill rate, or some
other standard, and is adjusted automatically each time such rate is
adjusted.  The interest rate on a variable rate note is also based on a
stated prevailing market rate but is adjusted automatically at specified
intervals of not less than one year. Generally, the changes in the interest
rate on such securities reduce the fluctuation in their market value.  As
interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation
or depreciation is less than that for fixed-rate obligations of the same
maturity. The Manager may determine that an unrated floating rate or variable
rate demand obligation meets the Fund's quality standards by reason of being
backed by a letter of credit or guarantee issued by a bank that meets those
quality standards.






      Some variable rate and floating rate obligations have a demand feature
that allows the Fund to tender the obligation to the issuer or a third party
prior to its maturity. The tender may be at par value plus accrued interest,
according to the terms of the obligations. Floating rate and variable rate
demand notes that have a stated maturity in excess of one year may have
features that permit the holder to recover the principal amount of the
underlying security at specified intervals not exceeding one year and upon no
more than 30 days' notice.  The issuer of that type of note normally has a
corresponding right in its discretion, after a given period, to prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the note plus accrued interest. Generally the
issuer must provide a specified number of days' notice to the holder.

      |X|  When-Issued and Delayed-Delivery Transactions.  The Fund may
invest in securities on a "when-issued" basis and may purchase or sell
securities on a "delayed-delivery" basis.  When-issued and delayed-delivery
are terms that refer to securities whose terms and indenture are available
and for which a market exists, but which are not available for immediate
delivery.

      When such transactions are negotiated, the price (which is generally
expressed in yield terms) is fixed at the time the commitment is made.
Delivery and payment for the securities take place at a later date.  The
securities are subject to change in value from market fluctuations during the
period until settlement. The value at delivery may be less than the purchase
price. For example, changes in interest rates in a direction other than that
expected by the Manager before settlement will affect the value of such
securities and may cause a loss to the Fund. During the period between
purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the Fund to the issuer and no
interest accrues to the Fund from the investment.  No income begins to accrue
to the Fund on a when-issued security until the Fund receives the security at
settlement of the trade.

      The Fund will engage in when-issued transactions to secure what the
Manager considers to be an advantageous price and yield at the time of
entering into the obligation. When the Fund enters into a when-issued or
delayed-delivery transaction, it relies on the other party to complete the
transaction. Its failure to do so may cause the Fund to lose the opportunity
to obtain the security at a price and yield the Manager considers to be
advantageous.

      When the Fund engages in when-issued and delayed-delivery transactions,
it does so for the purpose of acquiring or selling securities consistent with
its investment objectives and policies or for delivery pursuant to options
contracts it has entered into, and not for the purpose
of investment leverage. Although the Fund will enter into delayed-delivery or
when-issued purchase transactions to acquire securities, it may dispose of a
commitment prior to settlement. If the Fund chooses to dispose of the right
to acquire a when-issued security prior to its acquisition or to dispose of
its right to delivery or receive against a forward commitment, it may incur a
gain or loss.

      At the time the Fund makes the commitment to purchase or sell a
security on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, it records the
transaction on its books and reflects the value of the security purchased in
determining the Fund's net asset values.  In a sale transaction, it records
the proceeds to be received. The Fund will identify on its books liquid
assets at least equal in value to the value of the Fund's purchase
commitments until the Fund pays for the investment.







      When-issued and delayed-delivery transactions can be used by the Fund
as a defensive technique to hedge against anticipated changes in interest
rates and prices. For instance, in periods of rising interest rates and
falling prices, the Fund might sell securities in its portfolio on a forward
commitment basis to attempt to limit its exposure to anticipated falling
prices. In periods of falling interest rates and rising prices, the Fund
might sell portfolio securities and purchase the same or similar securities
on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis to obtain the benefit of currently
higher cash yields.

      |X| Participation Interests.  The Fund may invest in participation
interests, subject to the Fund's limitation on investments in illiquid
investments.  A participation interest is an undivided interest in a loan
made by the issuing financial institution in the proportion that the buyers
participation interest bears to the total principal amount of the loan.  No
more than 5% of the Fund's net assets can be invested in participation
interests of the same borrower.  The issuing financial institution may have
no obligation to the Fund other than to pay the Fund the proportionate amount
of the principal and interest payments it receives.

      Participation interests are primarily dependent upon the
creditworthiness of the borrowing corporation, which is obligated to make
payments of principal and interest on the loan. There is a risk that a
borrower may have difficulty making payments.  If a borrower fails to pay
scheduled interest or principal payments, the Fund could experience a
reduction in its income. The value of that participation interest might also
decline, which could affect the net asset value of the Fund's shares. If the
issuing financial institution fails to perform its obligations under the
participation agreement, the Fund might incur costs and delays in realizing
payment and suffer a loss of principal and/or interest.

      |X| Repurchase Agreements. The Fund may acquire securities subject to
repurchase agreements. It may do so for liquidity purposes to meet
anticipated redemptions of Fund shares, or pending the investment of the
proceeds from sales of Fund shares, or pending the settlement of portfolio
securities transactions, or for temporary defensive purposes, as described
below.

      In a repurchase transaction, the Fund buys a security from, and
simultaneously resells it to, an approved vendor for delivery on an
agreed-upon future date. The resale price exceeds the purchase price by an
amount that reflects an agreed-upon interest rate effective for the period
during which the repurchase agreement is in effect.  Approved vendors include
U.S. commercial banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks, or broker-dealers that
have been designated as primary dealers in government securities. They must
meet credit requirements set by the Manager from time to time.

      The majority of these transactions run from day to day, and delivery
pursuant to the resale typically occurs within one to five days of the
purchase. Repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven days are
subject to the Fund's limits on holding illiquid investments. The Fund will
not enter into a repurchase agreement that causes more than 10% of its net
assets to be subject to repurchase agreements having a maturity beyond seven
days. There is no limit on the amount of the Fund's net assets that may be
subject to repurchase agreements having maturities of seven days or less.

      Repurchase agreements, considered "loans" under the Investment Company
Act of 1940 ("Investment Company Act"), are collateralized by the underlying
security.  The Fund's repurchase agreements require that at all times while
the repurchase agreement is in effect, the value of the collateral must equal
or exceed the repurchase price to fully collateralize the repayment
obligation. However, if the vendor fails to pay the resale price on the
delivery date, the Fund may incur costs in disposing of the collateral and
may experience losses if there is any delay in its ability to do so. The
Manager will monitor the vendor's creditworthiness to confirm that the vendor
is financially sound and will continuously monitor the collateral's value.

      Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated entities managed by the
Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more joint
repurchase accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase
agreements, secured by U.S. government securities. Securities that are
pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank
until the agreements mature. Each joint repurchase arrangement requires that
the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of
interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party
to the agreement, retention or sale of the collateral may be subject to legal
proceedings.

|X|   Illiquid and Restricted Securities.  Under the policies and procedures
established by the Fund's Board of Trustees, the Manager determines the
liquidity of certain of the Fund's investments. To enable the Fund to sell
its holdings of a restricted security not registered under the Securities Act
of 1933, the Fund may have to cause those securities to be registered.  The
expenses of registering restricted securities may be negotiated by the Fund
with the issuer at the time the Fund buys the securities. When the Fund must
arrange registration because the Fund wishes to sell the security, a
considerable period may elapse between the time the decision is made to sell
the security and the time the security is registered so that the Fund could
sell it. The Fund would bear the risks of any downward price fluctuation
during that period.

      The Fund may also acquire restricted securities through private
placements. Those securities have contractual restrictions on their public
resale. Those restrictions might limit the Fund's ability to dispose of the
securities and might lower the amount the Fund could realize upon the sale.

      The Fund has limitations that apply to purchases of restricted
securities, as stated in the Prospectus. Those percentage restrictions do not
limit purchases of restricted securities that are eligible for sale to
qualified institutional purchasers under Rule 144A of the Securities Act of
1933, if those securities have been determined to be liquid by the Manager
under Board-approved guidelines. Those guidelines take into account the
trading activity for such securities and the availability of reliable pricing
information, among other factors.  If there is a lack of trading interest in
a particular Rule 144A security, the Fund's holdings of that security may be
considered to be illiquid.

      Illiquid securities include repurchase agreements maturing in more than
seven days and participation interests that do not have puts exercisable
within seven days.

      |X|  Forward Rolls. The Fund can 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 (the same type of security having the same
coupon and maturity) at a later date at a set price. The securities that are
repurchased will have the same interest rate as the securities that are sold,
but typically will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages (with
different prepayment histories) than the securities that have been sold.
Proceeds from the sale are invested in short-term instruments, such as
repurchase agreements. The income from those investments, plus the fees from
the forward roll transaction, are expected to generate income to the Fund in
excess of the yield on the securities that have been sold.

      The Fund will only enter into "covered" rolls. To assure its future
payment of the purchase price, the Fund will identify on its books liquid
assets in an amount equal to the payment obligation under the roll.

      These transactions have risks. 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. It is possible that
the market value of the securities the Fund sells may decline below the price
at which the Fund is obligated to repurchase securities.

      |X|  Investments in Equity Securities. Under normal market conditions
the Fund can invest up to 20% of its assets in securities other than debt
securities, including equity securities of both foreign and U.S. companies.
However, it does not anticipate investing significant amounts of its assets
in these securities as part of its normal investment strategy. Equity
securities include common stocks, preferred stocks, rights and warrants, and
securities convertible into common stock. The Fund's investments can include
stocks of companies in any market capitalization range, if the Manager
believes the investment is consistent with the Fund's objectives of total
return and income. Certain equity securities may be selected not only for
their appreciation possibilities but because they may provide dividend income.

o     Risks of Investing in Stocks. Stocks fluctuate in price, and their
short-term volatility at times may be great. To the extent that the Fund
invests in equity securities, the value of the Fund's portfolio will be
affected by changes in the stock markets. Market risk can affect the Fund's
net asset values per share, which will fluctuate as the values of the Fund's
portfolio securities change.  The prices of individual stocks do not all move
in the same direction uniformly or at the same time. Different stock markets
may behave differently from each other.

      Other factors can affect a particular stock's price, such as poor
earnings reports by the issuer, loss of major customers, major litigation
against the issuer, or changes in government regulations affecting the issuer
or its industry. The Fund can invest in securities of large companies and
mid-size companies, but may also buy stocks of small companies, which may
have more volatile stock prices than large companies.

o     Convertible Securities.  The value of a convertible security is a
function of its "investment value" and its "conversion value."  If the
investment value exceeds the conversion value, the security will behave more
like a debt security and the security's price will likely increase when
interest rates fall and decrease when interest rates rise. If the conversion
value exceeds the investment value, the security will behave more like an
equity security. In that case it will likely sell at a premium over its
conversion value and its price will tend to fluctuate directly with the price
of the underlying security.

      While some convertible securities are a form of debt security, in many
cases their conversion feature (allowing conversion into equity securities)
causes them to be regarded by the Manager more as "equity equivalents."  As a
result, the rating assigned to the security has less impact on the Manager's
investment decision than in the case of non-convertible debt fixed income
securities.

      To determine whether convertible securities should be regarded as
"equity equivalents," the Manager examines the following factors:

(1)   whether, at the option of the investor, the convertible security can be
         exchanged for a fixed number of shares of common stock of the
         issuer,
(2)   whether the issuer of the convertible securities has restated its
         earnings per share of common stock on a fully diluted basis
         (considering the effect of conversion of the convertible
         securities), and
(3)   the extent to which the convertible security may be a defensive "equity
         substitute," providing the ability to participate in any
         appreciation in the price of the issuer's common stock.

o     Rights and Warrants.  The Fund may invest up to 5% of its total assets
in warrants or rights. That limit does not apply to warrants and rights the
Fund has acquired as part of units of securities or that are attached to
other securities that the Fund buys. The Fund does not expect that it will
have significant investments in warrants and rights.

      Warrants basically are options to purchase equity securities at
specific prices valid for a specific period of time.  Their prices do not
necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying securities.  Rights
are similar to warrants, but normally have a short duration and are
distributed directly by the issuer to its shareholders.  Rights and warrants
have no voting rights, receive no dividends and have no rights with respect
to the assets of the issuer.

      |X| Loans of Portfolio Securities.  To raise cash for liquidity
purposes or income, the Fund can lend its portfolio securities to brokers,
dealers and other types of financial institutions approved by the Fund's
Board of Trustees. These loans are limited to not more than 25% of the value
of the Fund's net assets. The Fund currently does not intend to engage in
loans of securities in the coming year, but if it does so, such loans will
not likely exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets.

      There are some risks in connection with securities lending. The Fund
might experience a delay in receiving additional collateral to secure a loan,
or a delay in recovery of the loaned securities if the borrower defaults. The
Fund must receive collateral for a loan. Under current applicable regulatory
requirements (which are subject to change), on each business day the loan
collateral must be at least equal to the value of the loaned securities. It
must consist of cash, bank letters of credit, securities of the U.S.
government or its agencies or instrumentalities, or other cash equivalents in
which the Fund is permitted to invest. To be acceptable as collateral,
letters of credit must obligate a bank to pay amounts demanded by the Fund if
the demand meets the terms of the letter.  The terms of the letter of credit
and the issuing bank both must be satisfactory to the Fund.

      When it lends securities, the Fund receives amounts equal to the
dividends or interest on loaned securities. It also receives one or more of
(a) negotiated loan fees, (b) interest on securities used as collateral, and
(c) interest on any short-term debt securities purchased with such loan
collateral. Either type of interest may be shared with the borrower.  The
Fund may also pay reasonable finder's, custodian and administrative fees in
connection with these loans.  The terms of the Fund's loans must meet
applicable tests under the Internal Revenue Code and must permit the Fund to
reacquire loaned securities on five days' notice or in time to vote on any
important matter.

      |X| Borrowing for Leverage.  The fund may borrow for leverage as
described below under "Investment Restrictions." The Fund will pay interest
on these loans, and that interest expense will raise the overall expenses of
the Fund and reduce its returns. If it does borrow, its expenses will be
greater than comparable funds that do not borrow for leverage. Additionally,
the Fund's net asset values per share might fluctuate more than that of funds
that do not borrow. Currently, the Fund does not contemplate using this
technique in the next year but if it does so, it will not likely be to a
substantial degree.


|X|   Interfund Borrowing and Lending Arrangements. Consistent with its
fundamental policies and pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Fund may engage in borrowing
and lending activities with other funds in the OppenheimerFunds complex.
Borrowing money from affiliated funds may afford the Fund the flexibility to
use the most cost-effective alternative to satisfy its borrowing requirements.
Lending money to an affiliated fund may allow the Fund to obtain a higher
rate of return than it could from interest rates on alternative short-term
investments.  Implementation of interfund lending will be accomplished
consistent with applicable regulatory requirements, including the provisions
of the SEC order.

o     Interfund Borrowing. The Fund will not borrow from affiliated funds
unless the terms of the borrowing arrangement are at least as favorable as
the terms the Fund could otherwise negotiate with a third party.  To assure
that the Fund will not be disadvantaged by borrowing from an affiliated fund,
certain safeguards may be implemented.  Examples of these safeguards include
the following:
o     the Fund will not borrow money from affiliated funds unless the
               interest rate is more favorable than available bank loan
               rates;
o     the Fund's borrowing from affiliated funds must be consistent with its
               investment objective and investment policies;
o     the loan rates will be the average of the overnight repurchase
               agreement rate available through the OppenheimerFunds joint
               repurchase agreement account and  a pre-established formula
               based on quotations from independent banks to approximate the
               lowest interest rate at which bank loans would be available to
               the Fund;
o     if the Fund has outstanding borrowings from all sources greater than
               10% of its total assets, then the Fund must secure each
               additional outstanding interfund loan by segregating liquid
               assets of the Fund as collateral;
o     the Fund cannot borrow from an affiliated fund in excess of 125% of its
               total redemptions for the preceding seven days;
o     each interfund loan may be repaid on any day by the Fund; and
o     the Trustees will be provided with a report of all interfund loans and
               the Trustees will monitor all such borrowings to ensure that
               the Fund's participation is appropriate.

      There is a risk that a borrowing fund could have a loan called on one
day's notice.  In that circumstance, the Fund might have to borrow from a
bank at a higher interest cost if money to lend were not available from
another Oppenheimer fund.

o     Interfund Lending. To assure that the Fund will not be disadvantaged by
making loans to affiliated funds, certain safeguards will be implemented.
Examples of these safeguards include the following:

o     the Fund will not lend money to affiliated funds unless the interest
               rate on such loan is determined to be reasonable under the
               circumstances;
o     the Fund may not make interfund loans in excess of 15% of its net
               assets;
o     an interfund loan to any one affiliated fund shall not exceed 5% of the
               Fund's net assets;
o     an interfund loan may not be outstanding for more than seven days;
o     each interfund loan may be called on one business day's notice; and
o     the Manager will provide the Trustees reports on all interfund loans
               demonstrating that the Fund's participation is appropriate and
               that the loan is consistent with its investment objectives and
               policies.

      When the Fund  lends  assets to  another  affiliated  fund,  the Fund is
subject to the credit that the borrowing fund fails to repay the loan.


      |X| Asset-Backed Securities.  Asset-backed securities are fractional
interests in pools of assets, typically accounts receivable or consumer
loans. They are issued by trusts or special-purpose corporations. They are
similar to mortgage-backed securities, described above, and are backed by a
pool of assets that consist of obligations of individual borrowers. The
income from the pool is passed through to the holders of participation
interest in the pools. The pools may offer a credit enhancement, such as a
bank letter of credit, to try to reduce the risks that the underlying debtors
will not pay their obligations when due. However, the enhancement, if any,
might not be for the full par value of the security.  If the enhancement is
exhausted and any required payments of principal are not made, the Fund could
suffer losses on its investment or delays in receiving payment.

      The value of an asset-backed security is affected by changes in the
market's perception of the asset backing the security, the creditworthiness
of the servicing agent for the loan pool, the originator of the loans, or the
financial institution providing any credit enhancement, and is also affected
if any credit enhancement has been exhausted. The risks of investing in
asset-backed securities are ultimately related to payment of consumer loans
by the individual borrowers. As a purchaser of an asset-backed security, the
Fund would generally have no recourse to the entity that originated the loans
in the event of default by a borrower. The underlying loans are subject to
prepayments, which may shorten the weighted average life of asset-backed
securities and may lower their return, in the same manner as in the case of
mortgage-backed securities and CMOs, described above. Unlike mortgage-backed
securities, asset-backed securities typically do not have the benefit of a
security interest in the underlying collateral.

      |X|  Bank Obligations and Securities That Are Secured By Them.  The
Fund can invest in bank obligations, including time deposits, certificates of
deposit, and bankers' acceptances. They must be either obligations of a
domestic bank with total assets of at least $1 billion or obligations of a
foreign bank with total assets of at least U.S. $1 billion. The Fund may also
invest in instruments secured by bank obligations (for example, debt which is
guaranteed by the bank). For purposes of this policy, the term "bank"
includes commercial banks, savings banks, and savings and loan associations
that may or may not be members of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

      Time deposits are non-negotiable deposits in a bank for a specified
period of time at a stated interest rate. They may or may not be subject to
withdrawal penalties. However, time deposits that are subject to withdrawal
penalties, other than those maturing in seven days or less, are subject to
the limitation on investments by the Fund in illiquid investments.

      Bankers' acceptances are marketable short-term credit instruments used
to finance the import, export, transfer or storage of goods.  They are deemed
"accepted" when a bank guarantees their payment at maturity.

      |X|  Derivatives.  The Fund can invest in a variety of derivative
investments to seek income or for hedging purposes. Some derivative
investments the Fund may use are the hedging instruments described below in
this Statement of Additional Information.

      Among the derivative investments the Fund can invest in are
"index-linked" or "currency-linked" notes. Principal and/or interest payments
on index-linked notes depend on the performance of an underlying index.
Currency-indexed securities are typically short-term or intermediate-term
debt securities.  Their value at maturity or the rates at which they pay
income are determined by the change in value of the U.S. dollar against one
or more foreign currencies or an index.  In some cases, these securities may
pay an amount at maturity based on a multiple of the amount of the relative
currency movements.  This type of index security offers the potential for
increased income or principal payments but at a greater risk of loss than a
typical debt security of the same maturity and credit quality.

      Other derivative investments the Fund can use include "debt
exchangeable for common stock" of an issuer or "equity-linked debt
securities" of an issuer.  At maturity, the debt security is exchanged for
common stock of the issuer or it is payable in an amount based on the price
of the issuer's common stock at the time of maturity.  Both alternatives
present a risk that the amount payable at maturity will be less than the
principal amount of the debt because the price of the issuer's common stock
might not be as high as the Manager expected.

|X|   Credit Derivatives. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps, both
directly ("unfunded swaps") and indirectly in the form of a swap embedded
within a structured note ("funded swaps"), to protect against the risk that a
security will default.  Unfunded and funded credit default swaps may be on a
single security, or on a basket of securities. The Fund pays a fee to enter
into the swap and receives a fixed payment during the life of the swap.  The
Fund may take a short position in the credit default swap (also known as
"buying credit protection"), or may take a long position in the credit
default swap note (also known as "selling credit protection").

      The Fund would take a short position in a credit default swap (the
"unfunded swap") against a long portfolio position to decrease exposure to
specific high yield issuers.  If the short credit default swap is against a
corporate issue, the Fund must own that corporate issue. However, if the
short credit default swap is against sovereign debt, the Fund may own either:
(i) the reference obligation, (ii) any sovereign debt of that foreign
country, or (iii) sovereign debt of any country that the Manager determines
is closely correlated as an inexact bona fide hedge.

      If the Fund takes a short position in the credit default swap, and if
there is a credit event (including bankruptcy, failure to timely pay interest
or principal, or a restructuring), the Fund will deliver the defaulted bonds
and the swap counterparty will pay the par amount of the bonds.  An
associated risk is adverse pricing when purchasing bonds to satisfy the
delivery obligation.  If the swap is on a basket of securities, the notional
amount of the swap is reduced by the par amount of the defaulted bond, and
the fixed payments are then made on the reduced notional amount.

      Taking a long position in the credit default swap note (i.e.,
purchasing the "funded swap") would increase the Fund's exposure to specific
high yield corporate issuers.  The goal would be to increase liquidity in
that market sector via the swap note and its associated increase in the
number of trading instruments, the number and type of market participants,
and market capitalization.

      If the Fund takes a long position in the credit default swap note, if
there is a credit event the Fund will pay the par amount of the bonds and the
swap counterparty will deliver the bonds.   If the swap is on a basket of
securities, the notional amount of the swap is reduced by the par amount of
the defaulted bond, and the fixed payments are then made on the reduced
notional amount.

      The Fund will invest no more than 25% of its total assets in "unfunded"
credit default swaps.  The Fund will limit its investments in "funded" credit
default swap notes to no more than 10% of its total assets.

      Other risks of credit default swaps include the cost of paying for
credit protection if there are no credit events, pricing transparency when
assessing the cost of a credit default swap, counterparty risk, and the need
to fund the delivery obligation (either cash or the defaulted bonds,
depending on whether the Fund is long or short the swap, respectively).

      |X| Hedging.  Although the Fund does not anticipate the extensive use
of hedging instruments, the Fund can use hedging instruments. It is not
obligated to use them in seeking its objectives. To attempt to protect
against declines in the market value of the Fund's portfolio, to permit the
Fund to retain unrealized gains in the value of portfolio securities which
have appreciated, or to facilitate selling securities for investment reasons,
the Fund could:
o     sell futures contracts,
o     buy puts on such futures or on securities, or
o     write covered calls on securities or futures.  Covered calls may also
         be used to increase the Fund's income, but the Manager does not
         expect to engage extensively in that practice.

      The Fund can use hedging to establish a position in the securities
market as a temporary substitute for purchasing particular securities. In
that case the Fund would normally seek to purchase the securities and then
terminate that hedging position. The Fund might also use this type of hedge
to attempt to protect against the possibility that its portfolio securities
would not be fully included in a rise in value of the market. To do so the
Fund could:
      o     buy futures, or
o     buy calls on such futures or on securities.

      The Fund's strategy of hedging with futures and options on futures will
be incidental to the Fund's activities in the underlying cash market.  The
particular hedging instruments the Fund can use are described below.  The
Fund may employ new hedging instruments and strategies when they are
developed, if those investment methods are consistent with the Fund's
investment objectives and are permissible under applicable regulations
governing the Fund.

      Futures.  The Fund can buy and sell futures contracts that relate to
(1) broadly-based bond or stock indices (these are referred to as "financial
futures"), (2) commodities (these are referred to as "commodity futures"),
(3) debt securities (these are referred to as "interest rate futures"), and
(4) foreign currencies (these are referred to as "forward contracts").

      A broadly-based stock index is used as the basis for trading stock
index futures. They may in some cases be based on stocks of issuers in a
particular industry or group of industries. A stock index assigns relative
values to the securities included in the index and its value fluctuates in
response to the changes in value of the underlying securities. A stock index
cannot be purchased or sold directly. Bond index futures are similar
contracts based on the future value of the basket of securities that comprise
the index. These contracts obligate the seller to deliver, and the purchaser
to take, cash to settle the futures transaction. There is no delivery made of
the underlying securities to settle the futures obligation. Either party may
also settle the transaction by entering into an offsetting contract.

      An interest rate future obligates the seller to deliver (and the
purchaser to take) cash or a specified type of debt security to settle the
futures transaction. Either party could also enter into an offsetting
contract to close out the position.

      The Fund can invest a portion of its assets in commodity futures
contracts. Commodity futures may be based upon commodities within five main
commodity groups: (1) energy, which includes crude oil, natural gas, gasoline
and heating oil; (2) livestock, which includes cattle and
hogs; (3) agriculture, which includes wheat, corn, soybeans, cotton, coffee,
sugar and cocoa; (4) industrial metals, which includes aluminum, copper,
lead, nickel, tin and zinc; and (5) precious metals, which includes gold,
platinum and silver.  The Fund may purchase and sell commodity futures
contracts, options on futures contracts and options and futures on commodity
indices with
respect to these five main commodity groups and the individual commodities
within each group, as well as other types of commodities.

      No money is paid or received by the Fund on the purchase or sale of a
future.  Upon entering into a futures transaction, the Fund will be required
to deposit an initial margin payment with the futures commission merchant
(the "futures broker").  Initial margin payments will be deposited with the
Fund's custodian bank in an account registered in the futures broker's name.
However, the futures broker can gain access to that account only under
specified conditions.  As the future is marked to market (that is, its value
on the Fund's books is changed) to reflect changes in its market value,
subsequent margin payments, called variation margin, will be paid to or by
the futures broker daily.






      At any time prior to expiration of the future, the Fund may elect to
close out its position by taking an opposite position, at which time a final
determination of variation margin is made and any additional cash must be
paid by or released to the Fund.  Any loss or gain on the future is then
realized by the Fund for tax purposes.  All futures transactions are effected
through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange on which the contracts
are traded.

o     Put and Call Options.  The Fund can buy and sell certain kinds of put
options ("puts") and call options ("calls"). The Fund can buy and sell
exchange-traded and over-the-counter put and call options, including index
options, securities options, currency options, options on commodities
indices, and options on the other types of futures described above.

o     Writing Covered Call Options.  The Fund may write (that is, sell)
covered calls. If the Fund sells a call option, it must be covered.  That
means the Fund must own the security subject to the call while the call is
outstanding, or, for certain types of calls, the call may be covered by
identifying liquid assets on the Fund's books to enable the Fund to satisfy
its obligations if the call is exercised.  Up to 50% of the Fund's total
assets may be subject to calls the Fund writes.

      When the Fund writes a call on a security, it receives cash (a
premium). The Fund agrees to sell the underlying security to a purchaser of a
corresponding call on the same security during the call period at a fixed
exercise price regardless of market price changes during the call period. The
call period is usually not more than nine months. The exercise price may
differ from the market price of the underlying security.  The Fund has the
risk of loss that the price of the underlying security may decline during the
call period. That risk may be offset to some extent by the premium the Fund
receives. If the value of the investment does not rise above the call price,
it is likely that the call will lapse without being exercised. In that case
the Fund would keep the cash premium and the investment.

      When the Fund writes a call on an index, it receives cash (a premium).
If the buyer of the call exercises it, the Fund will pay an amount of cash
equal to the difference between the closing price of the call and the
exercise price, multiplied by a specified multiple that determines the total
value of the call for each point of difference.  If the value of the
underlying investment does not rise above the call price, it is likely that
the call will lapse without being exercised.  In that case, the Fund would
keep the cash premium.

      The Fund's custodian, or a securities depository acting for the
custodian, will act as the Fund's escrow agent, through the facilities of the
Options Clearing Corporation ("OCC"), as to the investments on which the Fund
has written calls traded on exchanges or as to other acceptable escrow
securities. In that way, no margin will be required for such transactions.
OCC will release the securities on the expiration of the option or when the
Fund enters into a closing transaction.







      When the Fund writes an over-the-counter ("OTC") option, it will enter
into an arrangement with a primary U.S. government securities dealer which
will establish a formula price at which the Fund will have the absolute right
to repurchase that OTC option.  The formula price will generally be based on
a multiple of the premium received for the option, plus the amount by which
the option is exercisable below the market price of the underlying security
(that is, the option is "in the money"). When the Fund writes an OTC option,
it will treat as illiquid (for purposes of its restriction on holding
illiquid securities) the mark-to-market value of any OTC option it holds,
unless the option is subject to a buy-back agreement by the executing broker.

      To terminate its obligation on a call it has written, the Fund may
purchase a corresponding call in a  "closing purchase transaction."  The Fund
will then realize a profit or loss, depending upon whether the net of the
amount of the option transaction costs and the premium received on the call
the Fund wrote is more or less than the price of the call the Fund purchases
to close out the transaction.  The Fund may realize a profit if the call
expires unexercised, because the Fund will retain the underlying security and
the premium it received when it wrote the call.  Any such profits are
considered short-term capital gains for federal income tax purposes, as are
the premiums on lapsed calls. When distributed by the Fund they are taxable
as ordinary income.  If the Fund cannot effect a closing purchase transaction
due to the lack of a market, it will have to hold the callable securities
until the call expires or is exercised.

      The Fund may also write calls on a futures contract without owning the
futures contract or securities deliverable under the contract. To do so, at
the time the call is written, the Fund must cover the call by identifying an
equivalent dollar amount of liquid assets on the Fund's books.  The Fund will
identify additional liquid assets on the Fund's books if the value of the
identified assets drops below 100% of the current value of the future.
Because of this segregation requirement, in no circumstances would the Fund's
receipt of an exercise notice as to that future require the Fund to deliver a
futures contract. It would simply put the Fund in a short futures position,
which is permitted by the Fund's hedging policies.

o     Writing Put Options.  The Fund can sell put options on securities,
broadly-based securities indices, foreign currencies, options on commodities
indices and futures. A put option on securities gives the purchaser the right
to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying investment at
the exercise price during the option period.  The Fund will not write puts
if, as a result, more than 50% of the Fund's net assets would be required to
be identified to cover such put options.

      If the Fund writes a put, the put must be covered by liquid assets
identified on the Fund's books. The premium the Fund receives from writing a
put represents a profit, as long as the price of the underlying investment
remains equal to or above the exercise price of the put.  However,
the Fund also assumes the obligation during the option period to buy the
underlying investment from the buyer of the put at the exercise price, even
if the value of the investment falls below the exercise price.

      If a put the Fund has written expires unexercised, the Fund realizes a
gain in the amount of the premium less the transaction costs incurred.  If
the put is exercised, the Fund must fulfill
its obligation to purchase the underlying investment at the exercise price.
That price will usually exceed the market value of the investment at that
time.  In that case, the Fund may incur a loss if it sells the underlying
investment. That loss will be equal to the sum of the sale price of the
underlying investment and the premium received minus the sum of the exercise
price and any transaction costs the Fund incurred.






      When writing a put option on a security, to secure its obligation to
pay for the underlying security the Fund will deposit in escrow liquid assets
with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the underlying
securities.  The Fund therefore forgoes the opportunity of investing the
identified assets or writing calls against those assets.

      As long as the Fund's obligation as the put writer continues, it may be
assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through which the put was
sold. That notice will require the Fund to take delivery of the underlying
security and pay the exercise price.  The Fund has no control over when it
may be required to purchase the underlying security, since it may be assigned
an exercise notice at any time prior to the termination of its obligation as
the writer of the put.  That obligation terminates upon expiration of the
put. It may also terminate if, before it receives an exercise notice, the
Fund effects a closing purchase transaction by purchasing a put of the same
series as it sold.  Once the Fund has been assigned an exercise notice, it
cannot effect a closing purchase transaction.

      The Fund may decide to effect a closing purchase transaction to realize
a profit on an outstanding put option it has written or to prevent the
underlying security from being put. Effecting a closing purchase transaction
will also permit the Fund to write another put option on the security, or to
sell the security and use the proceeds from the sale for other investments.
The Fund will realize a profit or loss from a closing purchase transaction
depending on whether the cost of the transaction is less or more than the
premium received from writing the put option.  Any profits from writing puts
are considered short-term capital gains for federal tax purposes, and when
distributed by the Fund, are taxable as ordinary income.

o     Purchasing Calls and Puts.  The Fund can purchase calls only on
securities, broadly-based securities indices, foreign currencies, options on
commodities indices and futures. It may do so to protect against the
possibility that the Fund's portfolio will not participate in an anticipated
rise in the securities market. When the Fund buys a call (other than in a
closing purchase transaction), it pays a premium. The Fund then has the right
to buy the underlying investment from a seller of a corresponding call on the
same investment during the call period at a fixed exercise price.

      The Fund benefits only if it sells the call at a profit or if, during
the call period, the market price of the underlying investment is above the
sum of the call price plus the transaction costs and the premium paid for the
call and the Fund exercises the call.  If the Fund does not exercise the call
or sell it (whether or not at a profit), the call will become worthless at
its expiration date. In that case, the Fund will have paid the premium but
lost the right to purchase the underlying investment.

      The Fund can buy puts only on securities, broadly-based securities
indices, foreign currencies, options on commodities indices and futures,
whether or not it owns the underlying
investment. When the Fund purchases a put, it pays a premium and, except as
to puts on indices, has the right to sell the underlying investment to a
seller of a put on a corresponding investment during the put period at a
fixed exercise price.







      Buying a put on an investment the Fund does not own (such as an index
or future) permits the Fund either to resell the put or to buy the underlying
investment and sell it at the exercise price. The resale price will vary
inversely to the price of the underlying investment. If the market price of
the underlying investment is above the exercise price and, as a result, the
put is not exercised, the put will become worthless on its expiration date.

      Buying a put on securities or futures the Fund owns enables the Fund to
attempt to protect itself during the put period against a decline in the
value of the underlying investment below the exercise price by selling the
underlying investment at the exercise price to a seller of a corresponding
put.  If the market price of the underlying investment is equal to or above
the exercise price and, as a result, the put is not exercised or resold, the
put will become worthless at its expiration date. In that case, the Fund will
have paid the premium but lost the right to sell the underlying investment.
However, the Fund may sell the put prior to its expiration. That sale may or
may not be at a profit.

      When the Fund purchases a call or put on an index or future, it pays a
premium, but settlement is in cash rather than by delivery of the underlying
investment to the Fund. Gain or loss depends on changes in the index in
question (and thus on price movements in the securities market generally)
rather than on price movements in individual securities or futures contracts.

      The Fund may buy a call or put only if, after the purchase, the value
of all call and put options held by the Fund will not exceed 5% of the Fund's
total assets.

o     Buying and Selling Options on Foreign Currencies.  The Fund can buy and
sell calls and puts on foreign currencies.  They include puts and calls that
trade on a securities or commodities exchange or in the over-the-counter
markets or are quoted by major recognized dealers in such options.  The Fund
could use these calls and puts to try to protect against declines in the
dollar value of foreign securities and increases in the dollar cost of
foreign securities the Fund wants to acquire.


      If the Manager anticipates a rise in the dollar value of a foreign
currency in which securities to be acquired are denominated, the increased
cost of those securities may be partially offset by purchasing calls or
writing puts on that foreign currency.  If the Manager anticipates a decline
in the dollar value of a foreign currency, the decline in the dollar value of
portfolio securities denominated in that currency might be partially offset
by writing calls or purchasing puts on that foreign currency. However, the
currency rates could fluctuate in a direction adverse to the Fund's position.
The Fund will then have incurred option premium payments and transaction
costs without a corresponding benefit.

      A call the Fund writes on a foreign currency is "covered" if the Fund
owns the underlying foreign currency covered by the call or has an absolute
and immediate right to acquire that foreign currency without additional cash
consideration (or it can do so for additional cash consideration held in an
identified account by its custodian bank) upon conversion or exchange of
other foreign currency held in its portfolio.







      The Fund could write a call on a foreign currency to provide a hedge
against a decline in the U.S. dollar value of a security which the Fund owns
or has the right to acquire and which is denominated in the currency
underlying the option. That decline might be one that occurs due to an
expected adverse change in the exchange rate. In those circumstances, the
Fund covers the option by maintaining cash, U.S. government securities or
other liquid, high grade debt securities in an amount equal to the exercise
price of the option, in an identified account with the Fund's custodian bank.

o     Risks of Hedging with Options and Futures.  The use of hedging
instruments requires special skills and knowledge of investment techniques
that are different than what is required for normal portfolio management.  If
the Manager uses a hedging instrument at the wrong time or judges market
conditions incorrectly, hedging strategies may reduce the Fund's return. The
Fund could also experience losses if the prices of its futures and options
positions were not correlated with its other investments.

      The Fund's option activities could affect its portfolio turnover rate
and brokerage commissions. The exercise of calls written by the Fund might
cause the Fund to sell related portfolio securities, thus increasing its
turnover rate.  The exercise by the Fund of puts on securities will cause the
sale of underlying investments, increasing portfolio turnover.  Although the
decision whether to exercise a put it holds is within the Fund's control,
holding a put might cause the Fund to sell the related investments for
reasons that would not exist in the absence of the put.

      The Fund could pay a brokerage commission each time it buys a call or
put, sells a call or put, or buys or sells an underlying investment in
connection with the exercise of a call or put.  Those commissions could be
higher on a relative basis than the commissions for direct purchases or sales
of the underlying investments.  Premiums paid for options are small in
relation to the market value of the underlying investments. Consequently, put
and call options offer large amounts of leverage.  The leverage offered by
trading in options could result in the Fund's net asset values being more
sensitive to changes in the value of the underlying investment.

      If a covered call written by the Fund is exercised on an investment
that has increased in value, the Fund will be required to sell the investment
at the call price. It will not be able to realize any profit if the
investment has increased in value above the call price.

      An option position may be closed out only on a market that provides
secondary trading for options of the same series, and there is no assurance
that a liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option.  The
Fund might experience losses if it could not close out a position because of
an illiquid market for the future or option.  There is a risk in using short
hedging by selling futures or purchasing puts on broadly-based indices or
futures to attempt to protect against declines in the value of the Fund's
portfolio securities. The risk is that the prices of the futures or the
applicable index will correlate imperfectly with the behavior of the cash
prices of the Fund's securities.  For example, it is possible that while the
Fund has used hedging instruments in a short hedge, the market might advance
and the value of the securities held in the Fund's portfolio might decline.
If that occurred, the Fund would lose money on the hedging instruments and
also experience a decline in the value of its portfolio securities. However,
while this could occur for a very brief period or to a very small degree,
over time the value of a diversified portfolio of securities will tend to
move in the same direction as the indices upon which the hedging instruments
are based.

      The risk of imperfect correlation increases as the composition of the
Fund's portfolio diverges from the securities included in the applicable
index. To compensate for the imperfect correlation of movements in the price
of the portfolio securities being hedged and movements in the price of the
hedging instruments, the Fund might use hedging instruments in a greater
dollar
amount than the dollar amount of portfolio securities being hedged. It might
do so if the historical volatility of the prices of the portfolio securities
being hedged is more than the historical volatility of the applicable index.

      The ordinary spreads between prices in the cash and futures markets are
subject to distortions, due to differences in the nature of those markets.
First, all participants in the futures market are subject to margin deposit
and maintenance requirements. Rather than meeting additional margin deposit
requirements, investors may close futures contracts through offsetting
transactions which could distort the normal relationship between the cash and
futures markets.  Second, the liquidity of the futures market depends on
participants entering into offsetting transactions rather than making or
taking delivery.  To the extent participants decide to make or take delivery,
liquidity in the futures market could be reduced, thus producing distortion.
Third, from the point of view of speculators, the deposit requirements in the
futures market are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities
markets.  Therefore, increased participation by speculators in the futures
market may cause temporary price distortions.

      The Fund can use hedging instruments to establish a position in the
securities markets as a temporary substitute for the purchase of individual
securities (long hedging) by buying futures and/or calls on such futures,
broadly-based indices or on securities. It is possible that when the Fund
does so the market might decline.  If the Fund then concludes not to invest
in securities because of concerns that the market might decline further or
for other reasons, the Fund will realize a loss on the hedging instruments
that is not offset by a reduction in the price of the securities purchased.

o     Forward Contracts.  Forward contracts are foreign currency exchange
contracts. They are used to buy or sell foreign currency for future delivery
at a fixed price.  The Fund uses them to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of a
security denominated in a foreign currency that the Fund has bought or sold,
or to protect against possible losses from changes in the relative values of
the U.S. dollar and a foreign currency.  The Fund limits its exposure in
foreign currency o      exchange contracts in a particular foreign currency
to the amount of its assets denominated in that currency or a
closely-correlated currency.  The Fund may also use "cross-hedging" where the
Fund hedges against changes in currencies other than the currency in which a
security it holds is denominated.

      Under a forward contract, one party agrees to purchase, and another
party agrees to sell, a specific currency at a future date. That date may be
any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the
parties. The transaction price is set at the time the contract is entered
into.  These contracts are traded in the inter-bank market conducted directly
among currency traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.

      The Fund may use forward contracts to protect against uncertainty in
the level of future exchange rates.  The use of forward contracts does not
eliminate the risk of fluctuations in the prices of the underlying securities
the Fund owns or intends to acquire, but it does fix a rate of exchange in
advance. Although forward contracts may reduce the risk of loss from a
decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time they limit any
potential gain if the value of the hedged currency increases.

      When the Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a
security denominated in a foreign currency, or when it anticipates receiving
dividend payments in a foreign currency, the Fund might desire to "lock-in"
the U.S. dollar price of the security or the U.S. dollar equivalent of the
dividend payments.  To do so, the Fund might enter into a forward contract
for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in the
underlying transaction, in a fixed amount of U.S. dollars per unit of the
foreign currency. This is called a "transaction hedge." The transaction hedge
will protect the Fund against a loss from an adverse change in the currency
exchange rates during the period between the date on which the security is
purchased or sold or on which the payment is declared, and the date on which
the payments are made or received.

      The Fund could also use forward contracts to lock in the U.S. dollar
value of portfolio positions. This is called a "position hedge."  When the
Fund believes that foreign currency might suffer a substantial decline
against the U.S. dollar, it might enter into a forward contract to sell an
amount of that foreign currency approximating the value of some or all of the
Fund's portfolio securities denominated in that foreign currency.  When the
Fund believes that the U.S. dollar could suffer a substantial decline against
a foreign currency, it could enter into a forward contract to buy that
foreign currency for a fixed dollar amount.  Alternatively, the Fund could
enter into a forward contract to sell a different foreign currency for a
fixed U.S. dollar amount if the Fund believes that the U.S. dollar value of
the foreign currency to be sold pursuant to its forward contract will fall
whenever there is a decline in the U.S. dollar value of the currency in which
portfolio securities of the Fund are denominated. That is referred to as a
"cross hedge."

      The Fund will cover its short positions in these cases by identifying
to its custodian bank assets having a value equal to the aggregate amount of
the Fund's commitment under forward contracts.  The Fund will not enter into
forward contracts or maintain a net exposure to such contracts if the
consummation of the contracts would obligate the Fund to deliver an amount of
foreign currency in excess of the value of the Fund's portfolio securities or
other assets denominated in that currency or another currency that is the
subject of the hedge.

      However, to avoid excess transactions and transaction costs, the Fund
may maintain a net exposure to forward contracts in excess of the value of
the Fund's portfolio securities or other assets denominated in foreign
currencies if the excess amount is "covered" by liquid securities denominated
in any currency. The cover must be at least equal at all times to the amount
of that excess.  As one alternative, the Fund may purchase a call option
permitting the Fund to purchase the amount of foreign currency being hedged
by a forward sale contract at a price no higher than the forward contract
price.  As another alternative, the Fund may purchase a put option permitting
the Fund to sell the amount of foreign currency subject to a forward purchase
contract at a price as high or higher than the forward contact price.

      The precise matching of the amounts under forward contracts and the
value of the securities involved generally will not be possible because the
future value of securities denominated in foreign currencies will change as a
consequence of market movements between the date the forward contract is
entered into and the date it is sold.  In some cases, the Manager might
decide to sell the security and deliver foreign currency to settle the
original purchase obligation. If the market value of the security is less
than the amount of foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver, the
Fund might have to purchase additional foreign currency on the
"spot" (that is, cash) market to settle the security trade. If the market
value of the security instead exceeds the amount of foreign currency the Fund
is obligated to deliver to settle the trade, the Fund might have to sell on
the spot market some of the foreign currency received upon the sale of the
security. There will be additional transaction costs on the spot market in
those cases.
The projection of short-term currency market movements is extremely
difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is
highly uncertain.  Forward contracts involve the risk that anticipated
currency movements will not be accurately predicted, causing the Fund to
sustain losses on these contracts and to pay additional transactions costs.
The use of forward contracts in this manner might reduce the Fund's
performance if there are unanticipated changes in currency prices to a
greater degree than if the Fund had not entered into such contracts.

      At or before the maturity of a forward contract requiring the Fund to
sell a currency, the Fund might sell a portfolio security and use the sale
proceeds to make delivery of the currency. In the alternative the Fund might
retain the security and offset its contractual obligation to deliver the
currency by purchasing a second contract. Under that contract the Fund will
obtain, on the same maturity date, the same amount of the currency that it is
obligated to deliver.  Similarly, the Fund might close out a forward contract
requiring it to purchase a specified currency by entering into a second
contract entitling it to sell the same amount of the same currency on the
maturity date of the first contract.  The Fund would realize a gain or loss
as a result of entering into such an offsetting forward contract under either
circumstance. The gain or loss will depend on the extent to which the
exchange rate or rates between the currencies involved moved between the
execution dates of the first contract and offsetting contract.

      The costs to the Fund of engaging in forward contracts varies with
factors such as the currencies involved, the length of the contract period
and the market conditions then prevailing. Because forward contracts are
usually entered into on a principal basis, no brokerage fees or commissions
are involved.  Because these contracts are not traded on an exchange, the
Fund must evaluate the credit and performance risk of the counterparty under
each forward contract.

      Although the Fund values its assets daily in terms of U.S. dollars, it
does not intend to convert its holdings of foreign currencies into U.S.
dollars on a daily basis.  The Fund may convert foreign currency from time to
time, and will incur costs in doing so. Foreign exchange dealers do not
charge a fee for conversion, but they do seek to realize a profit based on
the difference between the prices at which they buy and sell various
currencies.  Thus, a dealer might offer to sell a foreign currency to the
Fund at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange if the Fund
desires to resell that currency to the dealer.

o     Interest Rate Swap Transactions.  The Fund can enter into interest rate
swap agreements. In an interest rate swap, the Fund and another party
exchange their right to receive or their obligation to pay interest on a
security. For example, they might swap the right to receive floating rate
payments for fixed rate payments. The Fund can enter into swaps only on
securities that it owns. The Fund will not enter into swaps with respect to
more than 25% of its total assets. Also, the Fund will identify liquid assets
on the Fund's books (such as cash or U.S. government securities) to cover any
amounts it could owe under swaps that exceed the amounts it is entitled to
receive, and it will adjust that amount daily, as needed.

      Swap agreements entail both interest rate risk and credit risk.  There
is a risk that, based on movements of interest rates in the future, the
payments made by the Fund under a swap agreement will be greater than the
payments it received.  Credit risk arises from the possibility that the
counterparty will default.  If the counterparty defaults, the Fund's loss
will consist of the net amount of contractual interest payments that the Fund
has not yet received.  The Manager will monitor the creditworthiness of
counterparties to the Fund's interest rate swap transactions on an ongoing
basis.

      The Fund can enter into swap transactions with certain counterparties
pursuant to master netting agreements.  A master netting agreement provides
that all swaps done between the Fund and that counterparty shall be regarded
as parts of an integral agreement.  If amounts are payable on a particular
date in the same currency in respect of one or more swap transactions, the
amount payable on that date in that currency shall be the net amount.  In
addition, the master netting agreement may provide that if one party defaults
generally or on one swap, the counterparty can terminate all of the swaps
with that party.  Under these agreements, if a default results in a loss to
one party, the measure of that party's damages is calculated by reference to
the average cost of a replacement swap for each swap. It is measured by the
mark-to-market value at the time of the termination of each swap.  The gains
and losses on all swaps are then netted, and the result is the counterparty's
gain or loss on termination.  The termination of all swaps and the netting of
gains and losses on termination is generally referred to as "aggregation."

o     Regulatory Aspects of Hedging Instruments.  When using futures and
options on futures, the Fund is required to operate within certain guidelines
and restrictions with respect to the use of futures as established by the
Commodities Futures Trading Commission (the "CFTC").  In particular, the Fund
is exempted from registration with the CFTC as a "commodity pool operator" if
the Fund complies with the requirements of Rule 4.5 adopted by the CFTC.  The
Rule does not limit the percentage of the Fund's assets that may be used for
futures margin and related options premiums for a bona fide hedging
position.  However, under the Rule, the Fund must limit its aggregate initial
futures margin and related options premiums to not more than 5% of the Fund's
net assets for hedging strategies that are not considered bona fide hedging
strategies under the Rule. Under the Rule, the Fund must also use short
futures and options on futures solely for bona fide hedging purposes within
the meaning and intent of the applicable provisions of the Commodity Exchange
Act.

      Transactions in options by the Fund are subject to limitations
established by the option exchanges. The exchanges limit the maximum number
of options that may be written or held by a single investor or group of
investors acting in concert. Those limits apply regardless of whether the
options were written or purchased on the same or different exchanges or are
held in one or
more accounts or through one or more different exchanges or through one or
more brokers.  Thus, the number of options that the Fund may write or hold
may be affected by options written or held by other entities, including other
investment companies having the same advisor as the Fund (or an advisor that
is an affiliate of the Fund's advisor).  The exchanges also impose position
limits on futures transactions.  An exchange may order the liquidation of
positions found to be in violation of those limits and may impose certain
other sanctions.

      Under the Investment Company Act, when the Fund purchases a future, it
must maintain cash or readily marketable short-term debt instruments in an
amount equal to the market value of the securities underlying the future,
less the margin deposit applicable to it.

o     Tax Aspects of Hedging Instruments. Certain foreign currency exchange
contracts in which the Fund may invest are treated as "Section 1256
contracts" under the Internal Revenue Code.  In general, gains or losses
relating to Section 1256 contracts are characterized as 60% long-term and 40%
short-term capital gains or losses under the Code.  However, foreign currency
gains or losses arising from Section 1256 contracts that are forward
contracts generally are treated as ordinary income or loss.  In addition,
Section 1256 contracts held by the Fund at the end of each taxable year are
"marked-to-market," and unrealized gains or losses are treated as though they
were realized.  These contracts also may be marked-to-market for purposes of
determining the excise tax applicable to investment company distributions and
for other purposes under rules prescribed pursuant to the Internal Revenue
Code.  An election can be made by the Fund to exempt those transactions from
this marked-to-market treatment.

      Certain forward contracts the Fund enters into may result in
"straddles" for federal income tax purposes.  The straddle rules may affect
the character and timing of gains (or losses) recognized by the Fund on
straddle positions.  Generally, a loss sustained on the disposition of a
position making up a straddle is allowed only to the extent that the loss
exceeds any unrecognized gain in the offsetting positions making up the
straddle.  Disallowed loss is generally allowed at the point where there is
no unrecognized gain in the offsetting positions making up the straddle, or
the offsetting position is disposed of.

      Under the Internal Revenue Code, the following gains or losses are
treated as ordinary income or loss:
(1)   gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in exchange rates that
         occur between the time the Fund accrues interest or other
         receivables or accrues expenses or other liabilities denominated in
         a foreign currency and the time the Fund actually collects such
         receivables or pays such liabilities, and
(2)   gains or losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of a foreign
         currency between the date of acquisition of a debt security
         denominated in a foreign currency or foreign currency forward
         contracts and the date of disposition.

      Currency gains and losses are offset against market gains and losses on
each trade before determining a net "Section 988" gain or loss under the
Internal Revenue Code for that trade, which may increase or decrease the
amount of the Fund's investment income available for distribution to its
shareholders.

|X|   Temporary Defensive Investments.  When market conditions are unstable,
or the Manager believes it is otherwise appropriate to reduce holdings in
stocks, the Fund can invest in a variety of debt securities for defensive
purposes. The Fund can also purchase these securities for liquidity purposes
to meet cash needs due to the redemption of Fund shares, or to hold while
waiting to invest cash received from the sale of other portfolio securities.
The Fund can buy:

o     high quality, short term money market instruments, including those
         issued by the U.S Treasury or other government obligations issued or
         guaranteed by the U. S. government or its instrumentalities or
         agencies,
o     commercial paper (short-term, unsecured, promissory notes of domestic
         or foreign companies) rated in the three top rating categories of a
         nationally recognized rating organization,
o     short-term debt obligations of corporate issuers, rated investment
         grade (rated at least Baa by Moody's or at least BBB by Standard &
         Poor's, or a comparable rating by another rating organization), or
         unrated securities judged by the Manager to have a comparable
         quality to rated securities in those categories,
o     certificates of deposit and bankers' acceptances of domestic and
         foreign banks and savings and loan associations, having total assets
         in excess of $1 billion, and
o     repurchase agreements.

      Short-term debt securities would normally be selected for defensive or
cash management purposes because they can normally be disposed of quickly,
are not generally subject to significant fluctuations in principal value and
their value will be less subject to interest rate risk than longer-term debt
securities.


|X|   Investment in Other Investment Companies. The Fund can also invest in
the securities of other investment companies, which can include open-end
funds, closed-end funds and unit investment trusts, subject to the limits set
forth in the Investment Company Act that apply to those types of
investments.  For example, the Fund can invest in Exchange-Traded Funds,
which are typically open-end funds or unit investment trusts, listed on a
stock exchange.  The Fund might do so as a way of gaining exposure to the
segments of the equity or fixed-income markets represented by the
Exchange-Traded Funds' portfolio, at times when the Fund |X|      may not be
able to buy those portfolio securities directly. Investing in another
investment company may involve the payment of substantial premiums above the
value of such investment company's portfolio securities and is subject to
limitations under the Investment Company Act.  The Fund does not intend to
invest in other investment companies unless the Manager believes that the
potential benefits of the investment justify the payment of any premiums or
sales charges.  As a shareholder of an investment company, the Fund would be
subject to its ratable share of that investment company's expenses, including
its advisory and administration expenses.  The Fund does not anticipate
investing a substantial amount of its net assets in shares of other
investment companies. Investment Restrictions.

|X|       Loans of Portfolio Securities.  The Fund may lend its portfolio
securities pursuant to the Securities Lending Agreement (the "Securities
Lending Agreement") with JP Morgan Chase, subject to the restrictions stated
in the Prospectus.  The Fund will lend such portfolio securities to attempt
to increase the Fund's income.  Under the Securities Lending Agreement and
applicable regulatory requirements (which are subject to change), the loan
collateral must, on each business day, be at least equal to the value of the
loaned securities and must consist of cash, bank letters of credit or
securities of the U.S. Government (or its agencies or instrumentalities), or
other cash equivalents in which the Fund is permitted to invest.  To be
acceptable as collateral, letters of credit must obligate a bank to pay to JP
Morgan Chase, as agent, amounts demanded by the Fund if the demand meets the
terms of the letter.  Such terms of the letter of credit and the issuing bank
must be satisfactory to JP Morgan Chase and the Fund.  The Fund will receive,
pursuant to the Securities Lending Agreement, 80% of all annual net income
(i.e., net of rebates to the Borrower) from securities lending transactions.
JP Morgan Chase has agreed, in general, to guarantee the obligations of
borrowers to return loaned securities and to be responsible for expenses
relating to securities lending.  The Fund will be responsible, however, for
risks associated with the investment of cash collateral, including the risk
that the issuer of the security in which the cash collateral has been
invested defaults.  The Securities Lending Agreement may be terminated by
either JP Morgan Chase or the Fund on 30 days' written notice.  The terms of
the Fund's loans must also meet applicable tests under the Internal Revenue
Code and permit the Fund to reacquire loaned securities on five business
days' notice or in time to vote on any important matter.

Other Investment Restrictions


      |X|  What Are "Fundamental Policies?" Fundamental policies are those
policies that the Fund has adopted to govern its investments that can be
changed only by the vote of a "majority" of the Fund's outstanding voting
securities.  Under the Investment Company Act, a "majority" vote is defined
as the vote of the holders of the lesser of:

o     67% or more of the shares present or represented by proxy at a
         shareholder meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the
         outstanding shares are present or represented by proxy, or
o     more than 50% of the outstanding shares.

      The Fund's investment objectives are fundamental policies. Other
policies described in the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional
Information are "fundamental" only if they are identified as such. The Fund's
Board of Trustees can change non-fundamental policies without shareholder
approval. However, significant changes to investment policies will be
described in supplements or updates to the Prospectus or this Statement of
Additional Information, as appropriate. The Fund's most significant
investment policies are described in the Prospectus.

      |X| Does the Fund Have Additional Fundamental Policies?  The following
investment restrictions are fundamental policies of the Fund.

o     The Fund cannot make loans except (a) through lending of securities,
         (b) through the purchase of debt instruments or similar evidences of
         indebtedness, (c) through an inter-fund lending program with other
         affiliated funds, and (d) through repurchase agreements.
o     The Fund cannot buy or sell real estate. However, the Fund can purchase
         debt securities secured by real estate or interests in real estate
         or issued by companies, including real estate investment trusts,
         which invest in real estate or interests in real estate.
o     The Fund cannot underwrite securities of other companies. A permitted
         exception is in case it is deemed to be an underwriter under the
         Securities Act of 1933 when reselling any securities held in its own
         portfolio.
o     The Fund cannot issue "senior securities," but this does not prohibit
         certain investment activities for which assets of the Fund are
         designated as segregated, or margin, collateral or escrow
         arrangements are established, to cover the related obligations.
         Examples of those activities include borrowing money, reverse
         repurchase agreements, delayed-delivery and when-issued arrangements
         for portfolio securities transactions, and contracts to buy or sell
         derivatives, hedging instruments, options or futures.
o     The Fund cannot borrow money in excess of 33 1/3% of the value of its
         total assets.  The Fund may borrow only from banks and/or affiliated
         investment companies.  The Fund cannot make any investment at a time
         during which its borrowings exceed 5% of the value of its assets.
         With respect to this fundamental policy, the Fund can borrow only if
         it maintains a 300% ratio of assets to borrowings at all times in
         the manner set forth in the Investment Company Act. The Fund cannot
         concentrate
         investments. That means it cannot invest 25% or more of its total
         assets in any one industry. The Fund will not invest 25% or more of
         its total assets in government securities of any one foreign company
         or in debt and equity securities issued by companies organized under
         the laws of any one foreign country. Obligations of the U.S.
         government, its agencies and instrumentalities are not considered to
         be part of an "industry" for the purposes of this policy.

      Unless the Prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information
states that a percentage restriction applies on an ongoing basis, it applies
only at the time the Fund makes an investment. The Fund need not sell
securities to meet the percentage limits if the value of the investment
increases in proportion to the size of the Fund.

      For purposes of the Fund's policy not to concentrate its investments,
the Fund has adopted the industry classifications set forth in Appendix B to
this Statement of Additional Information.  This is not a fundamental policy.

Non-Diversification of the Fund's Investments.  The Fund is
"non-diversified," as defined in the Investment Company Act.  Funds that are
diversified have restrictions against investing too much of their assets in
the securities of any one "issuer."  That means that the Fund can invest more
of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than a fund that is
diversified.

      Being non-diversified poses additional investment risks, because if the
Fund invests more of its assets in fewer issuers, the value of its shares is
subject to greater fluctuations from adverse conditions affecting any one of
those issuers.  However, the Fund does limit its investments in the
securities of any one issuer to qualify for tax purposes as a "regulated
investment company" under the Internal Revenue Code.  By qualifying, it does
not have to pay federal income taxes if more than 90% of its earnings are
distributed to shareholders.  To qualify, the Fund must meet a number of
conditions.  First, not more than 25% of the market value of the Fund's total
assets may be invested in the securities of a single issuer.  Second, with
respect to 50% of the market value of its total assets, (1) no more than 5%
of the market value of its total assets may be invested in the securities of
a single issuer, and (2) the Fund must not own more than 10% of the
outstanding voting securities of a single issuer.  This is not a fundamental
policy.







How the Fund is Managed

Organization and History. The Fund is an open-end, non-diversified management
investment company with an unlimited number of authorized shares of
beneficial interest. The Fund was organized as a Massachusetts business trust
on February 28, 1995.

      The Fund is governed by a Board of Trustees, which is responsible for
protecting the interests of shareholders under Massachusetts law. The
Trustees meet periodically throughout the year to oversee the Fund's
activities, review its performance, and review the actions of the Manager.

|X|   Classes of Shares.  The Trustees  are  authorized,  without  shareholder
approval,  to create new  series and  classes  of  shares.  The  Trustees  may
reclassify  unissued shares of the Fund into  additional  series or classes of
shares.  The Trustees  also may divide or combine the shares of a class into a
greater  or  lesser  number  of  shares  without  changing  the  proportionate
beneficial  interest  of a  shareholder  in  the  Fund.  Shares  do  not  have
cumulative voting rights or preemptive or subscription  rights.  Shares may be
voted in person or by proxy at shareholder meetings.

      The Fund currently has four classes of shares: Class A, Class B, Class
C, and Class N.  All classes invest in the same investment portfolio.  Only
retirement plans may purchase Class N shares. Each class of shares:
o     has its own dividends and distributions,
o     pays certain expenses which may be different for the different classes,
o     may have a different net asset value,
o     may have separate voting rights on matters in which interests of one
         class are different from interests of another class, and
o     votes as a class on matters that affect that class alone.

      Shares are freely transferable, and each share of each class has one
vote at shareholder meetings, with fractional shares voting proportionally on
matters submitted to the vote of shareholders.  Each share of the Fund
represents an interest in the Fund proportionately equal to the interest of
each other share of the same class.

|X|   Meetings of Shareholders.  As a Massachusetts business trust, the Fund
is not required to hold, and does not plan to hold, regular annual meetings
of shareholders. The Fund will hold meetings when required to do so by the
Investment Company Act or other applicable law. It will also do so when a
shareholder meeting is called by the Trustees or upon proper request of the
shareholders. Although the Fund will not normally hold annual meetings of its
shareholders, it may hold shareholder meetings from time to time on important
matters, and shareholders have the right to call a meeting to remove a
Trustee or to take other action described in the Fund's Declaration of Trust.

      Shareholders have the right, upon the declaration in writing or vote of
two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Fund, to remove a Trustee.  The
Trustees will call a meeting of shareholders to vote on the removal of a
Trustee upon the written request of the record holders of 10% of its
outstanding shares.  If the Trustees receive a request from at least 10
shareholders stating that they wish to communicate with other shareholders to
request a meeting to remove a Trustee, the Trustees will then either make the
Fund's shareholder list available to the applicants or mail their
communication to all other shareholders at the applicants' expense. The
shareholders making the request must have been shareholders for at least six
months and must hold shares of the Fund valued at $25,000 or more or
constituting at least 1% of the Fund's outstanding shares, whichever is less.
The Trustees may also take other action as permitted by the Investment
Company Act.

|X|   Shareholder and Trustee Liability.  The Fund's Declaration of Trust
contains an express disclaimer of shareholder or Trustee liability for the
Fund's obligations. It also provides for indemnification and reimbursement of
expenses out of the Fund's property for any shareholder held personally
liable for its obligations.  The Declaration of Trust also states that upon
request, the Fund shall assume the defense of any claim made against a
shareholder for any act or obligation of the Fund and shall satisfy any
judgment on that claim.  Massachusetts law permits a shareholder of a
business trust (such as the Fund) to be held personally liable as a "partner"
under certain circumstances. However, the risk that a Fund shareholder will
incur financial loss from being held liable as a "partner" of the Fund is
limited to the relatively remote circumstances in which the Fund would be
unable to meet its obligations.

      The Fund's contractual arrangements state that any person doing
business with the Fund (and each shareholder of the Fund) agrees under its
Declaration of Trust to look solely to the assets of the Fund for
satisfaction of any claim or demand that may arise out of any dealings with
the Fund. Additionally, the Trustees shall have no personal liability to any
such person, to the extent permitted by law.

Board of Trustees and Oversight Committees. The Fund is governed by a Board
of Trustees, which is responsible for protecting the interests of
shareholders under Massachusetts law. The Trustees meet periodically
throughout the year to oversee the Fund's activities, review its performance,
and review the actions of the Manager.


      The Board of Trustees has an Audit Committee and a Review Committee.
The Audit Committee is comprised solely of Independent Trustees. The members
of the Audit Committee are Edward L. Cameron (Chairman), William L.
Armstrong, George C. Bowen and Robert J. Malone.  The Audit Committee held
six meetings during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. The Audit
Committee furnishes the Board with recommendations regarding the selection of
the Fund's independent auditors. Other main functions of the Audit Committee
include, but are not limited to: (i) reviewing the scope and results of
financial statement audits and the audit fees charged; (ii) reviewing reports
from the Fund's independent auditors regarding the Fund's internal accounting
procedures and controls;  (iii) review reports from the Manager's Internal
Audit Department; (iv) maintaining a separate line of communication between
the Fund's independent auditors and its Independent Trustees; and (v)
exercise all other functions outlined in the Audit Committee Charter,
including but not limited to reviewing the independence of the Fund's
independent auditors and the pre-approval of the performance by the Fund's
independent auditors of any non-audit service, including tax service, for the
Fund and the Manager and certain affiliates of the Manager.


      The Audit Committee's functions include selecting and nominating, to
the full Board, nominees for election as Trustees, and selecting and
nominating Independent Trustees for election.  The Audit Committee may, but
need not, consider the advice and recommendation of the Manager and its
affiliates in selecting nominees. The full Board elects new trustees except
for those instances when a shareholder vote is required.


      To date, the Committee has been able to identify from its own resources
an ample number of qualified candidates.  Nonetheless, shareholders may
submit names of individuals, accompanied by complete and properly supported
resumes, for the Audit Committee's consideration by mailing such information
to the Committee in care of the Fund.  The Committee may consider such
persons at such time as it meets to consider possible nominees.  The
Committee, however, reserves sole discretion to determine the candidates to
present to the Board and/or shareholders when it meets for the purpose of
considering potential nominees.

      The members of the Review Committee are Jon S. Fossel (Chairman),
Robert G. Avis, Richard Grabish, Sam Freedman, Beverly Hamilton and F.
William Marshall, Jr.  The Review Committee held six meetings during the
fiscal year ended September 30, 2003. Among other functions, the Review
Committee reviews reports and makes recommendations to the Board concerning
the fees paid to the Fund's transfer agent and the services provided to the
Fund by the transfer agent.  The Review Committee also reviews the Fund's
investment performance and policies and procedures adopted by the Fund to
comply with Investment Company Act and other applicable law.

Trustees and Officers of the Fund. Except for Messrs. Murphy and Grabish,
each of the Trustees  are "Independent Trustees," as under the Investment
Company Act. Mr. Murphy is an "Interested Trustee," because he is affiliated
with the Manager by virtue of his positions as an officer and director of the
Manager, and as a shareholder of its parent company. Mr. Murphy was elected
as a Trustee of the Fund with the understanding that in the event he ceases
to be the chief executive officer of the Manager, he will resign as a trustee
of the Fund and the other Board II Funds (defined below) for which he is a
trustee or director. Mr. Grabish is an "Interested Trustee" because he is
affiliated with Centennial Asset Management Corporation (a wholly-owned
investment advisory subsidiary of the Manager), by virtue of his positions
with A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc. and its affiliates (as described in his
biography below), which is a partial owner of the Manager's parent company.

      The Fund's Trustees and officers and their positions held with the Fund
and length of service in such position(s) and their principal occupations and
business affiliations during the past five years are listed in the chart
below. The information for the Trustees also includes the dollar range of
shares of the Fund as well as the aggregate dollar range of shares
beneficially owned in any of the Oppenheimer funds overseen by the Trustees.
All of the Trustees are also trustees or directors of the following
Oppenheimer funds (except for Mrs. Hamilton and Messrs.  Grabish and Malone,
who are not Trustees of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund) (referred to
as "Board II Funds"):









                                           Oppenheimer   Principal   Protected

Oppenheimer Principal Protected Trust      Centennial Tax Exempt Trust


      Present or former officers, directors, trustees and employees (and
their immediate family members) of the Fund, the Manager and its affiliates,
and retirement plans established by them for their employees are permitted to
purchase Class A shares of the Fund and the other Oppenheimer funds at net
asset value without sales charge. The sales charges on Class A shares is
waived for that group because of the economies of sales efforts realized by
the Distributor.


      Messrs. Murphy, de'Rossi, Molleur, Vottiero, Wixted and Zack, and Mses.
Bechtolt, Feld and Ives who are officers of the Fund, respectively hold the
same offices with one or more of the other Board II Funds as with the Fund.
As of October 22, 2003, the Trustees and officers of the Fund, as a group,
owned of record or beneficially less than 1% of each class of shares of the
Fund.  The foregoing statement does not reflect ownership of shares held of
record by an employee benefit plan for employees of the Manager, other than
the shares beneficially owned under that plan by the officers of the Fund
listed above. In addition, each Independent Trustee, and his family members,
do not own securities of either the Manager or Distributor of the Board II
Funds or any person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or
under common control with the Manager or Distributor.

|X|   Affiliated Transactions and Material Business Relationships. In 2001,
Mr. Swain surrendered for cancellation 60,000 options of Oppenheimer
Acquisition Company ("OAC") (the Manager's parent holding company) to
MassMutual for a cash payment of $2,700,600.


      Mr. Swain has reported that he sold a residential property to Mr.
Freedman on October 23, 2001 for $1.2 million.  An independent appraisal of
the property supported the sale price.








      The address of each Trustee in the chart below is 6803 South Tucson
Way, Centennial, CO 80112-3924. Each Trustee serves for an indefinite term,
until his or her resignation, retirement, death or removal.

Effective  July 1, 2002,  C.  Howard  Kast and Robert M.  Kirchner  retired as
Trustees  from the Board II Funds.  For the calendar  year ended  December 31,
2002,  Mr. Kast  received  $41,451 and Mr.  Kirchner  received  $38,001  total
compensation  from all of the  Oppenheimer  funds  for  which  they  served as
Trustee.
1.    Aggregate   Compensation   from   Fund   includes   fees  and   deferred
   compensation, if any, for a Trustee.
2.    Effective  October 27, 2003,  Mr.  Grabish was elected as Trustee on all
   Board II Funds (with the  exception of  Oppenheimer  Senior  Floating  Rate
   Fund). Prior to that date, "Total  Compensation From Fund and Fund Complex"
   paid to Mr.  Grabish  for  service as a Trustee,  as well as service on the
   Review Committee was paid only by Centennial  Government Trust,  Centennial
   California Tax Exempt Trust,  Centennial Money Market Trust, Centennial New
   York Tax Exempt Trust,  Centennial Tax Exempt Trust and Centennial  America
   Fund,  L.P.  (total of six funds for which he previously  served as Trustee
   on the Board II Funds).  Mr. Grabish was appointed to the Review  Committee
   beginning  February 24, 2003. Had he served on the Review Committee for the
   2002 calendar  year, his "Total  Compensation  From Trust and Fund Complex"
   would have been higher.
3.    Includes  $1,597  deferred  under Deferred  Compensation  Plan described
   below.
4.    Mrs.  Hamilton  and Mr.  Malone were elected as Trustees of the Board II
   Funds effective June 1, 2002. Total  compensation for Mrs. Hamilton and Mr.
   Malone  was  paid  by all  the  Board  II  Funds,  with  the  exception  of
   Oppenheimer  Senior  Floating  Rate Fund for which  they  currently  do not
   serve as Trustees (total of 40 Oppenheimer funds at December 31, 2002).
5.    Includes  $55,333  compensation  (of  which  100% was  deferred  under a
   deferred  compensation plan) paid to Mrs. Hamilton for serving as a trustee
   by two open-end investment  companies  (MassMutual  Institutional Funds and
   MML  Series  Investment  Fund)  the  investment  adviser  for  which is the
   indirect parent company of the Fund's  Manager.  The Manager also serves as
   the  Sub-Advisor to the MassMutual  International  Equity Fund, a series of
   MassMutual Institutional Funds.
6.    Includes  $1,597  deferred  under Deferred  Compensation  Plan described
   below.
7.    Includes  $47,000  compensation  paid to Mr.  Marshall  for serving as a
   trustee by two  open-end  investment  companies  (MassMutual  Institutional
   Funds and MML Series  Investment Fund) the investment  adviser for which is
   the indirect parent company of the Fund's Manager.  The Manager also serves
   as the  Sub-Advisor to the MassMutual  International  Equity Fund, a series
   of MassMutual Institutional Funds.

* For purposes of this section only, "Fund Complex" includes the Oppenheimer
funds, MassMutual Institutional Funds and MML Series Investment Fund in
accordance with the instructions for Form N-1A.  The Manager does not
consider MassMutual Institutional Funds and MML Series Investment Fund to be
part of the OppenheimerFunds "Fund Complex" as that term may be otherwise
interpreted.


    |X|  Deferred Compensation Plan for Trustees.  The Board of Trustees has
adopted a Deferred Compensation Plan for disinterested Trustees that enables
them to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual fees they
are entitled to receive from the Fund.  Under the plan, the compensation
deferred by a Trustee is periodically adjusted as though an equivalent amount
had been invested in shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds selected by the
Trustee.  The amount paid to the Trustee under the plan will be determined
based upon the performance of the selected funds.

    Deferral of Trustee's fees under the plan will not materially affect the
Fund's assets, liabilities and net income per share.  The plan will not
obligate the fund to retain the services of any Trustee or to pay any
particular level of compensation to any Trustee. Pursuant to an Order issued
by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund may invest in the funds
selected by the Trustee under the plan without shareholder approval for the
limited purpose of determining the value of the Trustee's deferred fee
account.


Major Shareholders. As of October 29, 2003, the only persons who owned of
record or were known by the Fund to own beneficially 5% or more of the Fund's
outstanding securities of any class were the following: Charles Schwab & Co.,
Inc., 101 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, CA 94104, which owned

    |X|     Portfolio
Proxy Voting.  The Fund
has adopted Portfolio
Proxy Voting Policies and
Procedures under which the
Fund votes proxies
relating to securities
("portfolio proxies") held
by the Fund. The Fund's
primary consideration in
voting portfolio proxies
is the financial interests
of the Fund and its
shareholders. The Fund has
retained an unaffiliated
third-party as its agent
to vote portfolio proxies
in accordance with the
Fund's Portfolio Proxy
Voting Guidelines and to
maintain records of such
portfolio proxy voting.
The Proxy Voting
Guidelines include
provisions to address
conflicts of interest that
may arise between the fund
and OFI where an OFI
directly-controlled
affiliate manages or
administers the assts of a
pension plan of a company
soliciting the proxy. The
Fund's Portfolio Proxy
Voting Guidelines on
routine and non-routine
proxy proposals are
summarized below.

o     The Fund votes with
            the recommendation
            of the issuer's
            management on
            routine matters,
            including election
            of directors
            nominated by
            management and
            ratification of
            auditors, unless
            circumstances
            indicate otherwise.
o     In general, the Fund
            opposes
            anti-takeover
            proposals and
            supports elimination
            of anti-takeover
            proposals, absent
            unusual
            circumstances.
o     The Fund supports
            shareholder
            proposals to reduce
            a super-majority
            vote requirement,
            and opposes
            management proposals
            to add a
            super-majority vote
            requirement.
o     The Fund opposes
            proposals to
            classify the board
            of directors.
o     The Fund supports
            proposals to
            eliminate cumulative
            voting.
o     The Fund opposes
            re-pricing of stock
            options.
o     The Fund generally
            considers executive
            compensation
            questions such as
            stock option plans
            and bonus plans to
            be ordinary business
            activity. The Fund
            analyzes stock
            option plans, paying
            particular attention
            to their dilutive
            effect. While the
            Fund generally
            supports management
            proposals, the Fund
            opposes plans it
            considers to be
            excessive.

      The Fund will be
required to file new 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
first such filing is due
no later than August 31,
2004, for the twelve
months ended June 30,
2004. Once filed, the
Fund's Form N-PX filing
will be available (i)
without charge, upon
request, by calling the
Fund toll-free at
1.800.225.5677 and (ii) on
the SEC's website at
www.sec.gov.

|X|    The Investment
Advisory Agreement.   The
Manager provides
investment advisory and
management services to the
Fund under an investment
advisory agreement between
the Manager and the Fund.
The Manager selects
securities for the Fund's
portfolio and handles its
day-to-day business. The
portfolio manager of the
Fund is employed by the
Manager and is the person
who is principally
responsible for the
day-to-day management of
the Fund's portfolio.
Other members of the
Manager's Fixed Income
Portfolio Team provide the
portfolio manager with
counsel and support in
managing the Fund's
portfolio

    The agreement requires
the Manager, at its
expense, to provide the
Fund with adequate office
space, facilities and
equipment. It also
requires the Manager to
provide and supervise the
activities of all
administrative and
clerical personnel
required to provide
effective administration
for the Fund. Those
responsibilities include
the compilation and
maintenance of records
with respect to its
operations, the
preparation and filing of
specified reports, and
composition of proxy
materials and registration
statements for continuous
public sale of shares of
the Fund.

    The Fund pays expenses
not expressly assumed by
the Manager under the
advisory agreement. The
advisory agreement lists
examples of expenses paid
by the Fund. The major
categories relate to
interest, taxes, brokerage
commissions, fees to
certain Trustees, legal
and audit expenses,
custodian and transfer
agent expenses, share
issuance costs, certain
printing and registration
costs and non-recurring
expenses, including
litigation costs.  The
management fees paid by
the Fund to the Manager
are calculated at the
rates described in the

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prospectus, which are
applied to the assets of      Management Fees Paid to OppenheimerFunds, Inc.
the Fund as a whole. The
fees are allocated to each
class of shares based upon
the relative proportion of
the Fund's net assets
represented by that class.
The management fees paid
by the Fund to the Manager
during its last three
fiscal years were:


Fiscal Year ended 9/30:

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

           2001                                 $1,769,586

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

           2002                                 $1,851,525

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

           2003                                 $3,415,246

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------


    The investment advisory agreement states that in the absence of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of its duties or
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the investment
advisory agreement, the Manager is not liable for any loss resulting from a
good faith error or omission on its part with respect to any of its duties
under the agreement.

    The agreement permits the Manager to act as investment advisor for any
other person, firm or corporation and to use the name "Oppenheimer" in
connection with other investment companies for which it may act as investment
advisor or general distributor. If the Manager shall no longer act as
investment advisor to the Fund, the Manager may withdraw the right of the
Fund to use the name "Oppenheimer" as part of its name.


         |X|      Annual Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement. Each
year, the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the Independent
Trustees, is required to approve the renewal of the investment advisory
agreement. The Investment Company Act requires that the Board request and
evaluate and the Manager provide such information as may be reasonably
necessary to evaluate the terms of the investment advisory agreement.  The
Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides
such information as the Board requests for this purpose.

      The Board also receives information about the 12b-1 distribution fees
the Fund pays.  These distribution fees are reviewed and approved at a
different time of the year.

      The Board reviewed the foregoing information in arriving at its
decision to renew the investment advisory agreement.  Among other factors,
the Board considered:
o     The nature, cost, and quality of the services provided to the Fund and
         its shareholders;
o     The profitability of the Fund to the Manager;

      The investment performance of the Fund in comparison to regular market
         indices;

o     Economies of scale that may be available to the Fund from the Manager;
o     Fees paid by other mutual funds for similar services;
o     The value and quality of any other benefits or services received by the

         Fund from its relationship with the Manager; and
o     The direct and indirect benefits the Manager received from its

         relationship with the Fund.  These included services provided by the
         Distributor and the Transfer Agent, and brokerage and soft dollar
         arrangements permissible under Section 28(e) of the Securities
         Exchange Act.

      The Board considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain
high quality personnel at competitive rates to provide services to the Fund.
The Board also considered that maintaining the financial viability of the
Manager is important so that the Manager will be able to continue to provide
quality services to the Fund and its shareholders in adverse times.  The
Board also considered the investment performance of other mutual funds
advised by the Manager. The Board is aware that there are alternatives to the
use of the Manager.


      These matters were also considered by the Independent Trustees, meeting
separately from the full Board with experienced Counsel to the Fund who
assisted the Board in its deliberations.  The Fund's Counsel is independent
of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the SEC Rules regarding the
independence of counsel.


      After careful deliberation, the Board, including the Independent
Trustees, concluded that it was in the best interests of shareholders to
continue the investment advisory agreement for another year. In arriving at a
decision, the Board did not single out any one factor or group of factors as
being more important than other factors, but considered all factors
together.  The Board judged the terms and conditions of the investment
advisory agreement, including the investment advisory fee, in light of all of
the surrounding circumstances.


Brokerage Policies of the Fund

Brokerage Provisions of the Investment Advisory Agreement.  One of the duties
of the Manager under the investment advisory agreement is to arrange the
portfolio transactions for the Fund.  The advisory agreement contains
provisions relating to the employment of broker-dealers
to effect the Fund's portfolio transactions.  The Manager is authorized by
the advisory agreement to employ broker-dealers, including "affiliated"
brokers, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act. The Manager
may employ broker-dealers that the Manager thinks in its best judgment based
on all relevant factors, will implement the policy of the Fund to obtain, at
reasonable expense, the "best execution" of portfolio transactions. "Best
execution" means prompt and reliable execution at the most favorable price
obtainable. The Manager need not seek competitive commission bidding.
However, it is expected to be aware of the current rates of eligible brokers
and to minimize the commissions paid to the extent consistent with the
interests and policies of the Fund as established by its Board of Trustees.

      Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager may select brokers
(other than affiliates) that provide brokerage and/or research services for
the Fund and/or the other accounts over which the Manager or its affiliates
have investment discretion.  The commissions paid to such brokers may be
higher than another qualified broker would charge, if the Manager makes a
good faith determination that the commission is fair and reasonable in
relation to the services provided. Subject to those considerations, as a
factor in selecting brokers for the Fund's portfolio transactions, the
Manager may also consider sales of shares of the Fund and other investment
companies for which the Manager or an affiliate serves as investment advisor.


    Brokerage Practices Followed by the Manager. Most purchases of debt
obligations made by the Fund are in principal transactions at net prices.
Instead of using a broker for those transactions, the Fund normally deals
directly with the selling or purchasing principal or market maker unless the
Manager determines that a better price or execution can be obtained by using
the services of a broker.  Therefore, the Fund does not incur substantial
brokerage costs.  Portfolio securities purchased from underwriters include a
commission or concession paid by the issuer to the underwriter in the price
of the security.  Portfolio securities purchased from dealers include a
spread between the bid and asked prices.  The Fund seeks to obtain prompt
execution of these orders at the most favorable net price.

    The Manager allocates brokerage for the Fund subject to the provisions of
the investment advisory agreement and the procedures and rules described
above. Generally, the Manager's portfolio traders allocate brokerage based
upon recommendations from the Manager's portfolio managers.  In certain
instances, portfolio managers may directly place trades and allocate
brokerage. In either case, the Manager's executive officers supervise the
allocation of brokerage.


    Transactions in securities other than those for which an exchange is the
primary market are generally done with principals or market makers.  In
transactions on foreign exchanges, the Fund may be required to pay fixed
brokerage commissions and therefore would not have the benefit of negotiated
commissions available in U.S. markets.  Brokerage commissions are paid
primarily for transactions in listed securities or for certain fixed-income
agency transactions in the secondary market. Otherwise brokerage commissions
are paid only if it appears likely that a better price or execution can be
obtained by doing so. In an option transaction, the Fund ordinarily uses the
same broker for the purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the
securities to which the option relates.

    Other funds advised by the Manager have investment policies similar to
those of the Fund. Those other funds may purchase or sell the same securities
as the Fund at the same time as the Fund, which could affect the supply and
price of the securities. If two or more funds advised by the Manager purchase
the same security on the same day from the same dealer, the transactions
under those combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated in
accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each
account.


    In an option transaction, the Fund ordinarily uses the same broker for
the purchase or sale of the option and any transaction in the securities to
which the option relates.  When possible, the Manager tries to combine
concurrent orders to purchase or sell the same security by more than one of
the accounts managed by the Manager or its affiliates.  The transactions
under those combined orders are averaged as to price and allocated in
accordance with the purchase or sale orders actually placed for each account.


    The investment advisory agreement permits the Manager to allocate
brokerage for research services. The research services provided by a
particular broker may be useful only to one or more of the advisory accounts
of the Manager and its affiliates. The investment research received for the
commissions on those other accounts may be useful both to the Fund and one or
more of the Manager's other accounts.  Investment research may be supplied to
the Manager by a third party at the instance of a broker through which trades
are placed.

    Investment research services include information and analysis on
particular companies and industries as well as market or economic trends and
portfolio strategy, market quotations for portfolio evaluations, information
systems, computer hardware and similar products and services. If a research
service also assists the Manager in a non-research capacity (such as
bookkeeping or other administrative functions), then only the percentage or
component that provides assistance to the Manager in the investment
decision-making process may be paid in commission dollars.


    The Board of Trustees permits the Manager to use stated commissions on
secondary fixed-income agency trades to obtain research if the broker
represents to the Manager that: (i) the trade is not from or for the broker's
own inventory, (ii) the trade was executed by the broker on an agency basis
at the stated commission, and (iii) the trade is not a riskless principal
transaction. The Board of Trustees permits the Manager to use commissions on
fixed-price offerings to obtain research, in the same manner as is permitted
for agency transactions.


    The research services provided by brokers broadens the scope and
supplements the research activities of the Manager. That research provides
additional views and comparisons for consideration, and helps the Manager to
obtain market information for the valuation of securities that are either
held in the Fund's portfolio or are being considered for purchase.  The
Manager provides information to the Board about the commissions paid to
brokers furnishing such services, together with the Manager's representation
that the amount of such commissions was reasonably related to the value or
benefit of such services.

Distribution and Service Plans

The Distributor.  Under its General Distributor's Agreement with the Fund,
the Distributor acts as the Fund's principal underwriter in the continuous
public offering of the Fund's different classes of shares. The Distributor
bears the expenses normally attributable to sales, including advertising and
the cost of printing and mailing prospectuses, other than those furnished to
existing shareholders. The Distributor is not obligated to sell a specific
number of shares.

    The sales charges and concessions paid to, or retained by, the
Distributor from the sale of shares during the Fund's three most recent
fiscal years, and the contingent deferred sales charges retained by the
Distributor on the redemption of shares for the most recent fiscal year are

Distribution and Service Plans. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan for Class
A shares and Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N
shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act. Under those plans the
Fund pays the Distributor for all or a portion of its costs incurred in
connection with the distribution and/or servicing of the shares of the
particular class. Each plan has been approved by a vote of the Board of
Trustees, including a majority of the Independent Trustees1, cast in person
at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on that plan.

      Under the plans, the Manager and the Distributor may make payments to
affiliates and in their sole discretion, from time to time, may use their own
resources (at no direct cost to the Fund) to make payments to brokers,
dealers or other financial institutions for distribution and administrative
services they perform. The Manager may use its profits from the advisory fee
it receives from the Fund. In their sole discretion, the Distributor and the
Manager may increase or decrease the amount of payments they make from their
own resources to plan recipients.

      Unless a plan is terminated as described below, the plan continues in
effect from year to year but only if the Fund's Board of Trustees and its
Independent Trustees specifically vote annually to approve its continuance.
Approval must be by a vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose
of voting on continuing the plan. A plan may be terminated at any time by the
vote of a majority of the Independent Trustees or by the vote of the holders
of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of the outstanding
shares of that class.

      The Board of Trustees and the Independent Trustees must approve all
material amendments to a plan. An amendment to increase materially the amount
of payments to be made under a plan must be approved by shareholders of the
class affected by the amendment. Because Class B shares of the Fund
automatically convert into Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the Fund
must obtain the approval of both Class A and Class B shareholders for a
proposed material amendment to the Class A Plan that would materially
increase payments under the Plan. That approval must be by a "majority" (as
defined in the Investment Company Act) of the shares of each Class, voting
separately by class.

      While the Plans are in effect, the Treasurer of the Fund shall provide
separate written reports on the plans to the Board of Trustees at least
quarterly for its review. The reports shall detail the amount of all payments
made under a plan and the purpose for which the payments were made. Those
reports are subject to the review and approval of the Independent Trustees.

      Each Plan states that while it is in effect, the selection and
nomination of those Trustees of the Fund who are not "interested persons" of
the Fund is committed to the discretion of the Independent Trustees. This
does not prevent the involvement of others in the selection and nomination
process as long as the final decision as to selection or nomination is
approved by a majority of the Independent Trustees.

      Under the plans, no payment will be made to any recipient in any
quarter in which the aggregate net asset value of all Fund shares held by the
recipient for itself and its customers does not exceed a minimum amount, if
any, that may be set from time to time by a majority of the Independent
Trustees. The Board of Trustees has set no minimum amount of assets to
qualify for payments  under the plans.

    |X|     Class A Service Plan Fees. Under the Class A service plan, the
Distributor currently uses the fees it receives from the Fund to pay brokers,
dealers and other financial institutions (they are referred to as
"recipients") for personal services and account maintenance services they
provide for their customers who hold Class A shares. The services include,
among others, answering customer inquiries about the Fund, assisting in
establishing and maintaining accounts in the Fund, making the Fund's
investment plans available and providing other services at the request of the
Fund or the Distributor. The Class A service plan permits reimbursements to
the Distributor at a rate of up to 0.25% of average annual net assets of
Class A shares. The Board has set the rate at that level. While the plan
permits the Board to authorize payments to the Distributor to reimburse
itself for services under the plan, the Board has not yet done so, except in
the case of the special arrangement described below. The Distributor makes
payments to plan recipients quarterly at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25%
of the average annual net assets consisting of Class A shares held in the
accounts of the recipients or their customers.

      With respect to purchases of Class A shares subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge by certain retirement plans that purchased such shares
prior to March 1, 2001 ("grandfathered retirement accounts"), the Distributor
currently intends to pay the service fee to Recipients in advance for the
first year after the shares are purchased. During the first year the shares
are sold, the Distributor retains the service fee to reimburse itself for the
costs of distributing the shares. After the first year shares are
outstanding, the Distributor makes service fee payments to Recipients
quarterly on those shares. The advance payment is based on the net asset
value of shares sold. Shares purchased by exchange do not qualify for the
advance service fee payment. If Class A shares purchased by grandfathered
retirement accounts are redeemed during the first year after their purchase,
the Recipient of the service fees on those shares will be obligated to repay
the Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance payment of the service fee
made on those shares.

      For the fiscal period ended September 30, 2003, payments under the
Class A Plan totaled $686,288, of which $523 was retained by the Distributor
under the arrangement described above, and included $24,208 paid to an
affiliate of the Distributor's parent company. Any unreimbursed expenses the
Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot
be recovered in subsequent years. The Distributor may not use payments
received under the Class A Plan to pay any of its interest expenses, carrying
charges, or other financial costs, or allocation of overhead.

|X|   Class B, Class C and Class N Service and Distribution Plan Fees. Under
each plan, service fees and distribution fees are computed on the average of
the net asset value of shares in the respective class, determined as of the
close of each regular business day during the period. The Class B, Class C
and Class N plans provide for the Distributor to be compensated at a flat
rate, whether the Distributor's distribution expenses are more or less than
the amounts paid by the Fund under the plan during the period for which the
fee is paid. The types of services that recipients provide are similar to the
services provided under the Class A service plan, described above.

      Each Plan permits the Distributor to retain both the asset-based sales
charges and the service fees or to pay recipients the service fee on a
quarterly basis, without payment in advance. However, the Distributor
currently intends to pay the service fee to recipients in advance for the
first year after Class B, Class C and Class N shares are purchased. After the
first year Class B, Class C or Class N shares are outstanding, after their
purchase, the Distributor makes service fee payments quarterly on those
shares. The advance payment is based on the net asset value of shares sold.
Shares purchased by exchange do not qualify for the advance service fee
payment. If Class B, Class C or Class N shares are redeemed during the first
year after their purchase, the recipient of the service fees on those shares
will be obligated to repay the Distributor a pro rata portion of the advance
payment of the service fee made on those shares. In cases where the
Distributor is the broker of record for Class B, Class C and Class N shares,
i.e. shareholders without the services of a broker directly invest in the
Fund, the Distributor will retain the asset-based sales charge and service
fee for Class B, Class C and Class N shares.

      The asset-based sales charge and service fees increase Class B and
Class C expenses by 1.00% and the asset-based sales charge and service fees
increases Class N expenses by 0.50% of the net assets per year of the
respective class.

      The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class B and
Class N shares. The Distributor retains the asset-based sales charge on Class
C shares during the first year the shares are outstanding. It pays the
asset-based sales charge as an ongoing concession to the recipient on Class C
shares outstanding for a year or more. If a dealer has a special agreement
with the Distributor, the Distributor will pay the Class B, Class C or Class
N service fee and the asset-based sales charge to the dealer quarterly in
lieu of paying the sales concessions and service fee in advance at the time
of purchase.

      The asset-based sales charges on Class B, Class C and Class N shares
allow investors to buy shares without a front-end sales charge while allowing
the Distributor to compensate dealers that sell those shares. The Fund pays
the asset-based sales charges to the Distributor for its services rendered in
distributing Class B, Class C and Class N shares. The payments are made to
the Distributor in recognition that the Distributor:
o     pays sales concessions to authorized brokers and dealers at the time of
         sale and pays service fees as described above,
o     may finance payment of sales concessions and/or the advance of the
         service fee payment to recipients under the plans, or may provide
         such financing from its own resources or from the resources of an
         affiliate,
o     employs personnel to support distribution of Class B, Class C and Class
         N shares,
o     bears the costs of sales literature, advertising and prospectuses
         (other than those furnished to current shareholders) and state "blue
         sky" registration fees and certain other distribution expenses,
o     may not be able to adequately compensate dealers that sell Class B,
         Class C and Class N shares without receiving payment under the plans
         and therefore may not be able to offer such Classes for sale absent
         the plans,
o     receives payments under the plans consistent with the service fees and
         asset-based sales charges paid by other non-proprietary funds that
         charge 12b-1 fees,
o     may use the payments under the plan to include the Fund in various
         third-party distribution programs that may increase sales of Fund
         shares,
o     may experience increased difficulty selling the Fund's shares if
         payments under the plan are discontinued because most competitor
         funds have plans that pay dealers for rendering distribution
         services as much or more than the amounts currently being paid by
         the Fund, and
o      may not be able to continue providing, at the same or at a lesser
         cost, the same quality distribution sales efforts and services, or
         to obtain such services from brokers and dealers, if the plan
         payments were to be discontinued.

      The Distributor's actual expenses in selling Class B, Class C and Class
N shares may be more than the payments it receives from the contingent
deferred sales charges collected on redeemed shares and from the Fund under
the plans. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by
the Fund, the Board of Trustees may allow the Fund to continue payments of
the asset-based sales charge to the Distributor for distributing shares
before the plan was terminated.

Performance of the Fund


Explanation of Performance Terminology. The Fund uses a variety of terms to
illustrate its investment performance. These terms include "standardized
yield," "dividend yield," "average annual total return," "cumulative total
return," "average annual total return at net asset value" and "total return
at net asset value." An explanation of how yields and total returns are
calculated is set forth below. The charts below show the Fund's performance
as of the Fund's most recent fiscal year end. You can obtain current
performance information by calling the Fund's Transfer Agent at
1.800.225.5677 or by visiting the OppenheimerFunds Internet website at
www.oppenheimerfunds.com.


      The Fund's illustrations of its performance data in advertisements must
comply with rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Those rules
describe the types of performance data that may be used and how it is to be
calculated. In general, any advertisement by the Fund of its performance data
must include the average annual total returns for the advertised class of
shares of the Fund. Those returns must be shown for the 1, 5 and 10-year
periods (or the life of the class, if less) ending as of the most recently
ended calendar quarter prior to the publication of the advertisement (or its
submission for publication).  Certain types of yields may also be shown,
provided that they are accompanied by standardized average annual total
returns.

      Use of standardized performance calculations enables an investor to
compare the Fund's performance to the performance of other funds for the same
periods.  However, a number of factors should be considered before using the
Fund's performance information as a basis for comparison with other
investments:
o     Yields and total returns measure the performance of a hypothetical
         account in the Fund over various periods and do not show the
         performance of each shareholder's account. Your account's
         performance will vary from the model performance data if your
         dividends are received in cash, or you buy or sell shares during the
         period, or you bought your shares at a different time and price than
         the shares used in the model.
o     The Fund's performance returns do not reflect the effect of taxes on
         dividends and capital gains distributions (unless otherwise
         indicated).
o     An investment in the Fund is not insured by the FDIC or any other
         government agency.
o     The principal value of the Fund's shares, and its yields and total
         returns are not guaranteed and normally will fluctuate on a daily
         basis.
o     When an investor's shares are redeemed, they may be worth more or less
         than their original cost.
o     Yields and total returns for any given past period represent historical
         performance information and are not, and should not be considered, a
         prediction of future yields or returns.

      The performance of each class of shares is shown separately, because
the performance of each class of shares will usually be different. That is
because of the different kinds of expenses each class bears. The yields and
total returns of each class of shares of the Fund are affected by market
conditions, the quality of the Fund's investments, the maturity of those
investments, the types of investments the Fund holds, and its operating
expenses that are allocated to the particular class.

      |X| Yields. The Fund uses a variety of different yields to illustrate
its current returns. Each class of shares calculates its yield separately
because of the different expenses that affect each class.

o     Standardized Yield.  The "standardized yield" (sometimes referred to
just as "yield") is shown for a class of shares for a stated 30-day period.
It is not based on actual distributions paid by the Fund to shareholders in
the 30-day period, but is a hypothetical yield based upon the net investment
income from the Fund's portfolio investments for that period.  It may
therefore differ from the "dividend yield" for the same class of shares,
described below.

      Standardized yield is calculated using the following formula set forth
in rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, designed to
assure uniformity in the way that all funds calculate their yields:

 Standardized Yield = 2a-b +1)6 -1]
                       ---
                     [(
                       cd

      The symbols above represent the following factors:

      a =  dividends and interest earned during the 30-day period.

      b =  expenses accrued for the period (net of any expense assumptions).

      c =  the  average  daily  number  of shares  of that  class  outstanding
           during the 30-day period that were entitled to receive dividends.

      d =  the maximum  offering price per share of that class on the last day
           of the period, adjusted for undistributed net investment income.

      The standardized yield for a particular 30-day period may differ from
the yield for other periods.  The SEC formula assumes that the standardized
yield for a 30-day period occurs at a constant rate for a six-month period
and is annualized at the end of the six-month period.  Additionally, because
each class of shares is subject to different expenses, it is likely that the
standardized yields of the Fund's classes of shares will differ for any
30-day period.

o     Dividend Yield.  The Fund may quote a "dividend yield" for each class
of its shares. Dividend yield is based on the dividends paid on a class of
shares during the actual dividend period. To calculate dividend yield, the
dividends of a class declared during a stated period are added together, and
the sum is multiplied by 12 (to annualize the yield) and divided by the
maximum offering price on the last day of the dividend period.  The formula
is shown below:

  Dividend Yield = dividends paid x 12/maximum offering price (payment date)


      The maximum offering price for Class A shares includes the current
maximum initial sales charge.  The maximum offering price for Class B and
Class C shares is the net asset value per share, without considering the
effect of contingent deferred sales charges. The Class A dividend yield may
also be quoted without deducting the maximum initial sales charge.

      |X| Total Return Information.  There are different types of "total
returns" to measure the Fund's performance. Total return is the change in
value of a hypothetical investment in the Fund over a given period, assuming
that all dividends and capital gains distributions are reinvested in
additional shares and that the investment is redeemed at the end of the
period. Because of differences in expenses for each class of shares, the
total returns for each class are separately measured. The cumulative total
return measures the change in value over the entire period (for example, 10
years). An average annual total return shows the average rate of return for
each year in a period that would produce the cumulative total return over the
entire period. However, average annual total returns do not show actual
year-by-year performance. The Fund uses standardized calculations for its
total returns as prescribed by the SEC. The methodology is discussed below.

      In calculating total returns for Class A shares, the current maximum
sales charge of 4.75% (as a percentage of the offering price) is deducted
from the initial investment ("P") (unless the return is shown without sales
charge, as described below).  For Class B shares, payment of the applicable
contingent deferred sales charge is applied, depending on the period for
which the return is shown: 5.0% in the first year, 4.0% in the second year,
3.0% in the third and fourth years, 2.0% in the fifth year, 1.0% in the sixth
year and none thereafter. For Class C shares, the 1.0% contingent deferred
sales charge is deducted for returns for the one-year period. For Class N
shares, the 1% contingent deferred sales charge is deducted for returns for
the one year and life of class periods. Class N total returns may also be
calculated for the periods prior to 3/1/01 (the inception date for Class N
shares), based on the Fund's Class A returns, adjusted to reflect the higher
Class N 12b-1 fees.

o     Average Annual Total Return.  The "average annual total return" of each
class is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a
specified number of years.  It is the rate of return based on the change in
value of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula
below) held for a number of years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an Ending
Redeemable Value ("ERV" in the formula) of that investment, according to the
following formula:


ERV   l/n - 1  = Average Annual Total
               Return
  P

o     Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions). The
"average annual total return (after taxes on distributions)" of Class A
shares is an average annual compounded rate of return for each year in a
specified number of years, adjusted to show the effect of federal taxes
(calculated using the highest individual marginal federal income tax rates in
effect on any reinvestment date) on any distributions made by the Fund during
the specified period. It is the rate of return based on the change in value
of a hypothetical initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below)
held for a number of years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an ending value
("ATVD" in the formula) of that investment, after taking into account the
effect of taxes on Fund distributions, but not on the redemption of Fund
shares, according to the following formula:


ATVD        - 1=  Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on
- ----
1/n         Distributions)
  P

Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on Distributions and Redemptions).
The "average annual total return (after taxes on distributions and
redemptions)" of Class A shares is an average annual compounded rate of
return for each year in a specified number of years, adjusted to show the
effect of federal taxes (calculated using the highest individual marginal
federal income tax rates in effect on any reinvestment date) on any
distributions made by the Fund during the specified period and the effect of
capital gains taxes or capital loss tax benefits (each calculated using the
highest federal individual capital gains tax rate in effect on the redemption
date) resulting from the redemption of the shares at the end of the period.
It is the rate of return based on the change in value of a hypothetical
initial investment of $1,000 ("P" in the formula below) held for a number of
years ("n" in the formula) to achieve an ending value ("ATVDR" in the
formula) of that investment, after taking into account the effect of taxes on
fund distributions and on the redemption of Fund shares, according to the
following formula:

ATVDR       - 1=  Average Annual Total Return (After Taxes on
- -----
1/n         Distributions and Redemption)
  P


o     Cumulative Total Return.  The "cumulative total return" calculation
measures the change in value of a hypothetical investment of $1,000 over an
entire period of years.  Its calculation uses some of the same factors as
average annual total return, but it does not average the rate of return on an
annual basis.  Cumulative total return is determined as follows:

 ERV - P   = Total Return
- -----------
    P

o     Total Returns at Net Asset Value.  From time to time the Fund may also
quote a cumulative or an average annual total return "at net asset value"
(without deducting sales charges) for Class A, Class B, Class C or Class N
shares.  Each is based on the difference in net asset value per share at the
beginning and the end of the period for a hypothetical investment in that
class of shares (without considering front-end or contingent deferred sales
charges) and takes into consideration the reinvestment of dividends and
capital gains distributions.

Other Performance Comparisons.  The Fund compares its performance annually to
that of an appropriate broadly-based market index in its Annual Report to
shareholders. You can obtain that information by contacting the Transfer
Agent at the addresses or telephone numbers shown on the cover of this
Statement of Additional Information. The Fund may also compare its
performance to that of other investments, including other mutual funds, or
use rankings of its performance by independent ranking entities. Examples of
these performance comparisons are set forth below.

      |X| Lipper Rankings. From time to time the Fund may publish the ranking
of the performance of its classes of shares by Lipper Inc. ("Lipper").
Lipper is a widely-recognized independent mutual fund monitoring service.
Lipper monitors the performance of regulated investment companies, including
the Fund, and ranks their performance for various periods in categories based
on investment styles. The Lipper performance rankings are based on total
returns that include the reinvestment of capital gain distributions and
income dividends but do not take sales charges or taxes into consideration.
Lipper also publishes "peer-group" indices of the performance of all mutual
funds in a category that it monitors and averages of the performance of the
funds in particular categories.

      |X| Morningstar Ratings. From time to time the Fund may publish the
star rating of the performance of its classes of shares by Morningstar, Inc.,
an independent mutual fund monitoring service.  Morningstar rates mutual
funds in their specialized market sector.  The Fund is ranked among
international bond funds.

      Morningstar proprietary star ratings reflect historical risk-adjusted
total investment return. For each fund with at least a three-year history,
Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating(TM)based on a Morningstar
Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly
performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption
fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent
performance.  The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next
22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2
stars, and the bottom 10% receive 1 star.  (Each share class is counted as a
fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause
slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar
Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance
figures associated with its three-, five-and ten-year (if applicable)
Morningstar Rating metrics.

      |X| Performance Rankings and Comparisons by Other Entities and
Publications.  From time to time the Fund may include in its advertisements
and sales literature performance information about the Fund cited in
newspapers and other periodicals such as The New York Times, The Wall Street
Journal, Barron's, or similar publications. That information may include
performance quotations from other sources, including Lipper and Morningstar.
The performance of the Fund's classes of shares may be compared in
publications to the performance of various market indices or other
investments, and averages, performance rankings or other benchmarks prepared
by recognized mutual fund statistical services.

      Investors may also wish to compare the returns on the Fund's share
classes to the return on fixed-income investments available from banks and
thrift institutions. Those include certificates of deposit, ordinary
interest-paying checking and savings accounts, and other forms of fixed or
variable time deposits, and various other instruments such as Treasury bills.
However, the Fund's returns and share price are not guaranteed or insured by
the FDIC or any other agency and will fluctuate daily, while bank depository
obligations may be insured by the FDIC and may provide fixed rates of return.
Repayment of principal and payment of interest on Treasury securities is
backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

      From time to time, the Fund may publish rankings or ratings of the
Manager or Transfer Agent, and of the investor services provided by them to
shareholders of the Oppenheimer funds, other than performance rankings of the
Oppenheimer funds themselves.  Those ratings or rankings of shareholder and
investor services by third parties may include comparisons of their services
to those provided by other mutual fund families selected by the rating or
ranking services. They may be based upon the opinions of the rating or
ranking service itself, using its research or judgment, or based upon surveys
of investors, brokers, shareholders or others.

      From time to time, the Fund may include in its advertisements and sales
literature the total return performance of a hypothetical investment account
that includes shares of the fund and other Oppenheimer funds. The combined
account may be part of an illustration of an asset allocation model or
similar presentation. The account performance may combine total return
performance of the fund and the total return performance of other Oppenheimer
funds included in the account. Additionally, from time to time, the Fund's
advertisements and sales literature may include, for illustrative or
comparative purposes, statistical data or other information about general or
specific market and economic conditions. That may include, for example,
o     information about the performance of certain securities or commodities
         markets or segments of those markets,
o     information about the performance of the economies of particular
         countries or regions,
o     the earnings of companies included in segments of particular
         industries, sectors, securities markets, countries or regions,
o     the availability of different types of securities or offerings of
         securities,
o     information relating to the gross national or gross domestic product of
         the United States or other countries or regions,
o     comparisons of various market sectors or indices to demonstrate
         performance, risk, or other characteristics of the Fund.







ABOUT your account

How to Buy Shares

Additional information is presented below about the methods that can be used
to buy shares of the Fund. Appendix C contains more information about the
special sales charge arrangements offered by the Fund, and the circumstances
in which sales charges may be reduced or waived for certain classes of
investors.


AccountLink.  When shares are purchased through AccountLink, each purchase
must be at least $50 and shareholders must invest at least $500 before an
                     ---
Asset Builder Plan (described below) can be established on a new account.
Accounts established prior to November 1, 2002 will remain at $25 for
additional purchases. Shares will be purchased on the regular business day
the Distributor is instructed to initiate the Automated Clearing House
("ACH") transfer to buy the shares.  Dividends will begin to accrue on shares
purchased with the proceeds of ACH transfers on the business day the Fund
receives Federal Funds for the purchase through the ACH system before the
close of The New York Stock Exchange ("the Exchange"). The Exchange normally
closes at 4:00 P.M., but may close earlier on certain days.  If Federal Funds
are received on a business day after the close of the Exchange, the shares
will be purchased and dividends will begin to accrue on the next regular
business day.  The proceeds of ACH transfers are normally received by the
Fund three days after the transfers are initiated. If the proceeds of the ACH
transfer are not received on a timely basis, the Distributor reserves the
right to cancel the purchase order. The Distributor and the Fund are not
responsible for any delays in purchasing shares resulting from delays in ACH
transmissions.


Reduced Sales Charges.  As discussed in the Prospectus, a reduced sales
charge rate may be obtained for Class A shares under Right of Accumulation
and Letters of Intent because of the economies of sales efforts and reduction
in expenses realized by the Distributor, dealers and brokers making such
sales.  No sales charge is imposed in certain other circumstances described
in Appendix C to this Statement of Additional Information because the
Distributor or dealer or broker incurs little or no selling expenses.

      |X|   Right of Accumulation. To qualify for the lower sales charge
rates that apply to larger purchases of Class A shares, you and your spouse
can add together:
o     Class A and Class B shares you purchase for your individual accounts
            (including IRAs and 403(b) plans), or for your joint accounts, or
            for trust or custodial accounts on behalf of your children who
            are minors,
o     Current purchases of Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other
            Oppenheimer funds to reduce the sales charge rate that applies to
            current purchases of Class A shares, and
o     Class A and Class B shares of Oppenheimer funds you previously
            purchased subject to an initial or contingent deferred sales
            charge to reduce the sales charge rate for current purchases of
            Class A shares, provided that you still hold your investment in
            one of the Oppenheimer funds.

      A fiduciary can count all shares purchased for a trust, estate or other
fiduciary account (including one or more employee benefit plans of the same
employer) that has multiple accounts. The Distributor will add the value, at
current offering price, of the shares you previously purchased and currently
own to the value of current purchases to determine the sales charge rate that
applies. The reduced sales charge will apply only to current purchases. You
must request it when you buy shares.

Centennial California Tax Exempt Trust    Centennial Tax Exempt Trust




      There is an initial sales charge on the purchase of Class A shares of
each of the Oppenheimer funds described above except the money market funds.
Under certain circumstances described in this Statement of Additional
Information, redemption proceeds of certain money market fund shares may be
subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.


Letters of Intent.  Under a Letter of Intent ("Letter"), if you purchase
Class A shares or Class A and Class B shares of the Fund and other
Oppenheimer funds during a 13-month period, you can reduce the sales charge
rate that applies to your purchases of Class A shares.  The total amount of
your intended purchases of both Class A and Class B shares will determine the
reduced sales charge rate for the Class A shares purchased during that
period.  You can include purchases made up to 90 days before the date of the
Letter.  Letters of Intent do not consider Class C or Class N shares you
purchase or may have purchased.


      A Letter is an investor's statement in writing to the Distributor of
the intention to purchase Class A shares or Class A and Class B shares of the
Fund (and other Oppenheimer funds) during a 13-month period (the "Letter
period"). At the investor's request, this may include purchases made up to 90
days prior to the date of the Letter.  The Letter states the investor's
intention to make the aggregate amount of purchases of shares which, when
added to the investor's holdings of shares of those funds, will equal or
exceed the amount specified in the Letter.  Purchases made by reinvestment of
dividends or distributions of capital gains and purchases made at net asset
value without sales charge do not count toward satisfying the amount of the
Letter.

      A Letter enables an investor to count the Class A and Class B shares
purchased under the Letter to obtain the reduced sales charge rate on
purchases of Class A shares of the Fund (and other Oppenheimer funds) that
applies under the Right of Accumulation to current purchases of Class A
shares.  Each purchase of Class A shares under the Letter will be made at the
offering price (including the sales charge) that applies to a single lump-sum
purchase of shares in the amount intended to be purchased under the Letter.

      In submitting a Letter, the investor makes no commitment to purchase
shares. However, if the investor's purchases of shares within the Letter
period, when added to the value (at offering price) of the investor's
holdings of shares on the last day of that period, do not equal or exceed the
intended purchase amount, the investor agrees to pay the additional amount of
sales charge applicable to such purchases. That amount is described in "Terms
of Escrow," below (those terms may be amended by the Distributor from time to
time).  The investor agrees that shares equal in value to 5% of the intended
purchase amount will be held in escrow by the Transfer Agent subject to the
Terms of Escrow.  Also, the investor agrees to be bound by the terms of the
Prospectus, this Statement of Additional Information and the application used
for a Letter. If those terms are amended, as they may be from time to time by
the Fund, the investor agrees to be bound by the amended terms and that those
amendments will apply automatically to existing Letters.

      If the total eligible purchases made during the Letter period do not
equal or exceed the intended purchase amount, the concessions previously paid
to the dealer of record for the account and the amount of sales charge
retained by the Distributor will be adjusted to the rates applicable to
actual total purchases.  If total eligible purchases during the Letter period
exceed the intended purchase amount and exceed the amount needed to qualify
for the next sales charge rate reduction set forth in the Prospectus, the
sales charges paid will be adjusted to the lower rate. That adjustment will
be made only if and when the dealer returns to the Distributor the excess of
the amount of concessions allowed or paid to the dealer over the amount of
concessions that apply to the actual amount of purchases.  The excess
concessions returned to the Distributor will be used to purchase additional
shares for the investor's account at the net asset value per share in effect
on the date of such purchase, promptly after the Distributor's receipt
thereof.

      The  Transfer  Agent  will not hold  shares in escrow for  purchases  of
shares of the Fund and other Oppenheimer funds by  OppenheimerFunds  prototype
401(k) plans under a Letter.  If the intended  purchase  amount under a Letter
entered into by an OppenheimerFunds  prototype 401(k) plan is not purchased by
the plan by the end of the  Letter  period,  there  will be no  adjustment  of
concessions paid to the  broker-dealer or financial  institution of record for
accounts held in the name of that plan.

      In determining the total amount of purchases made under a Letter,
shares redeemed by the investor prior to the termination of the Letter period
will be deducted.  It is the responsibility of the dealer of record and/or
the investor to advise the Distributor about the Letter in placing any
purchase orders for the investor during the Letter period.  All of such
purchases must be made through the Distributor.

      |X|   Terms of Escrow That Apply to Letters of Intent.

      1. Out of the initial purchase (or subsequent purchases if necessary)
made pursuant to a Letter, shares of the Fund equal in value up to 5% of the
intended purchase amount specified in the Letter shall be held in escrow by
the Transfer Agent.  For example, if the intended purchase amount is $50,000,
the escrow shall be shares valued in the amount of $2,500 (computed at the
offering price adjusted for a $50,000 purchase).  Any dividends and capital
gains distributions on the escrowed shares will be credited to the investor's
account.

      2. If the total minimum investment specified under the Letter is
completed within the 13-month Letter period, the escrowed shares will be
promptly released to the investor.

      3. If, at the end of the 13-month Letter period the total purchases
pursuant to the Letter are less than the intended purchase amount specified
in the Letter, the investor must remit to the Distributor an amount equal to
the difference between the dollar amount of sales charges actually paid and
the amount of sales charges which would have been paid if the total amount
purchased had been made at a single time.  That sales charge adjustment will
apply to any shares redeemed prior to the completion of the Letter.  If the
difference in sales charges is not paid within twenty days after a request
from the Distributor or the dealer, the Distributor will, within sixty days
of the expiration of the Letter, redeem the number of escrowed shares
necessary to realize such difference in sales charges.  Full and fractional
shares remaining after such
redemption will be released from escrow.  If a request is received to redeem
escrowed shares prior to the payment of such additional sales charge, the
sales charge will be withheld from the redemption proceeds.

      4. By signing the Letter, the investor irrevocably constitutes and
appoints the Transfer Agent as attorney-in-fact to surrender for redemption
any or all escrowed shares.

5.    The shares eligible for purchase under the Letter (or the holding of
which may be counted toward completion of a Letter) include:
(a)   Class A shares sold with a front-end sales charge or subject to a Class
            A contingent deferred sales charge,
(b)   Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds acquired subject to a
            contingent deferred sales charge, and
(c)   Class A or Class B shares acquired by exchange of either (1) Class A
            shares of one of the other Oppenheimer funds that were acquired
            subject to a Class A initial or contingent deferred sales charge
            or (2) Class B shares of one of the other Oppenheimer funds that
            were acquired subject to a contingent deferred sales charge.

      6. Shares held in escrow hereunder will automatically be exchanged for
shares of another fund to which an exchange is requested, as described in the
section of the Prospectus entitled "How to Exchange Shares" and the escrow
will be transferred to that other fund.

Asset Builder Plans. As explained in the Prospectus, you must initially
establish your account with $500. Subsequently, you can establish an Asset
Builder Plan to automatically purchase additional shares directly from a bank
account for as little as $50. For those accounts established prior to
November 1, 2002 and which have previously established Asset Builder Plans,
additional purchases will remain at $25. Shares purchased by Asset Builder
Plan payments from bank accounts are subject to the redemption restrictions
for recent purchases described in the Prospectus.  Asset Builder Plans are
available only if your bank is an ACH member.  Asset Builder Plans may not be
used to buy shares for OppenheimerFunds employer-sponsored qualified
retirement accounts. Asset Builder Plans also enable shareholders of
Oppenheimer Cash Reserves to use their fund account to make monthly automatic
purchases of shares of up to four other Oppenheimer funds.

      If you make payments from your bank account to purchase shares of the
Fund, your bank account will be debited automatically.  Normally the debit
will be made two business days prior to the investment dates you selected on
your application.  Neither the Distributor, the Transfer Agent nor the Fund
shall be responsible for any delays in purchasing shares that result from
delays in ACH transmissions.

      Before you establish Asset Builder payments, you should obtain a
prospectus of the selected fund(s) from your financial advisor (or the
Distributor) and request an application from the Distributor.  Complete the
application and return it.  You may change the amount of your Asset Builder
payment or you can terminate these automatic investments at any time by
writing to the Transfer Agent.  The Transfer Agent requires a reasonable
period (approximately 10 days) after receipt of your instructions to
implement them.  The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue
offering Asset Builder plans at any time without prior notice.

      Retirement Plans. Certain types of retirement plans are entitled to
purchase shares of the Fund without sales charge or at reduced sales charge
rates, as described in Appendix C to this Statement of Additional
Information. Certain special sales charge arrangements described in that
Appendix apply to retirement plans whose records are maintained on a daily
valuation basis by Merrill Lynch Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc. ("Merrill
Lynch") or an independent record keeper that has a contract or special
arrangement with Merrill Lynch. If on the date the plan sponsor signed the
Merrill Lynch record keeping service agreement the plan has less than $3
million in assets (other than assets invested in money market funds) invested
in applicable investments, then the retirement plan may purchase only Class B
shares of the Oppenheimer funds. Any retirement plans in that category that
currently invest in Class B shares of the Fund will have their Class B shares
converted to Class A shares of the Fund when the plan's applicable
investments reach $5 million.  OppenheimerFunds has entered into arrangements
with certain record keepers whereby the Transfer Agent compensates the record
keeper for its record keeping and account servicing functions that it
performs on behalf of the participant level accounts of a retirement plan.
While such compensation may act to reduce the record keeping fees charged by
the retirement plan's record keeper, that compensation arrangement may be
terminated at any time, potentially affecting the record keeping fees charged
by the retirement plan's record keeper.

Cancellation of Purchase Orders.  Cancellation of purchase orders for the
Fund's shares (for example, when a purchase check is returned to the Fund
unpaid) causes a loss to be incurred when the net asset values of the Fund's
shares on the cancellation date is less than on the purchase date. That loss
is equal to the amount of the decline in the net asset value per share
multiplied by the number of shares in the purchase order. The investor is
responsible for that loss. If the investor fails to compensate the Fund for
the loss, the Distributor will do so. The Fund may reimburse the Distributor
for that amount by redeeming shares from any account registered in that
investor's name, or the Fund or the Distributor may seek other redress.

Classes of Shares. Each class of shares of the Fund represents an interest in
the same portfolio of investments of the Fund.  However, each class has
different shareholder privileges and features.  The net income attributable
to Class B, Class C or Class N shares and the dividends payable on Class B,
Class C or Class N shares will be reduced by incremental expenses borne
solely by that class. Those expenses include the asset-based sales charges to
which Class B, Class C and Class N shares are subject.

      The availability of different classes of shares permits an investor to
choose the method of purchasing shares that is more appropriate for the
investor. That may depend on the amount of the purchase, the length of time
the investor expects to hold shares, and other relevant circumstances. Class
A shares normally are sold subject to an initial sales charge. While Class B,
Class C and Class N shares have no initial sales charge, the purpose of the
deferred sales charge and asset-based sales charge on Class B, Class C and
Class N shares is the same as that of the initial sales charge on Class A
shares - to compensate the Distributor and brokers, dealers and financial
institutions that sell shares of the Fund.  A salesperson who is entitled to
receive compensation from his or her firm for selling Fund shares may receive
different levels of compensation for selling one class of shares rather than
another.

      The Distributor will not accept any order in the amount of $500,000 or
more for Class B shares or $1 million or more for Class C shares on behalf of
a single investor (not including dealer "street name" or omnibus accounts).
That is because generally it will be more advantageous for that investor to
purchase Class A shares of the Fund.

Class A Shares Subject to a Contingent  Deferred  Sales Charge.  For purchases
of Class A shares at net asset value  whether or not  subject to a  contingent
deferred  sales charge as described in the  Prospectus,  no sales  concessions
will be paid to the  broker-dealer of record,  as described in the Prospectus,
on sales of Class A shares  purchased with the  redemption  proceeds of shares
of another  mutual fund offered as an investment  option in a retirement  plan
in which  Oppenheimer  funds are also offered as  investment  options  under a
special arrangement with the Distributor,  if the purchase occurs more than 30
days after the Oppenheimer  funds are added as an investment option under that
plan.  Additionally,  that concession will not be paid on purchases of Class A
shares  by a  retirement  plan made with the  redemption  proceeds  of Class N
shares  of one or more  Oppenheimer  funds  held by the plan for more  than 18
months.


      |X|   Class B Conversion. Under current interpretations of applicable
federal income tax law by the Internal Revenue Service, the conversion of
Class B shares to Class A shares 72 months after purchase is not treated as a
taxable event for the shareholder. If those laws or the IRS interpretation of
those laws should change, the automatic conversion feature may be suspended.
In that event, no further conversions of Class B shares would occur while
that suspension remained in effect.  Although Class B shares could then be
exchanged for Class A shares on the basis of relative net asset value of the
two classes, without the imposition of a sales charge or fee, such exchange
could constitute a taxable event for the shareholder, and absent such
exchange, Class B shares might continue to be subject to the asset-based
sales charge for longer than six years.


      |X|   Availability of Class N Shares.  In addition to the description
of the types of retirement plans which may purchase Class N shares contained
in the prospectus, Class N shares also are offered to the following:
o     to all rollover IRAs (including SEP IRAs and SIMPLE IRAs),
o     to all rollover contributions made to Individual 401(k) plans,
            Profit-Sharing Plans and Money Purchase Pension Plans,
o     to all direct rollovers from OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle and
            Ascender retirement plans,
o     to all trustee-to-trustee IRA transfers,
o     to all 90-24 type 403(b) transfers,
o     to Group Retirement Plans (as defined in Appendix C to this Statement
            of Additional Information) which have entered into a special
            agreement with the Distributor for that purpose,

o     to Retirement Plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the
            Internal Revenue Code, the recordkeeper or the plan sponsor for
            which has entered into a special agreement with the Distributor,
            and

o     to Retirement Plans of a plan sponsor where the aggregate assets of all
            such plans invested in the Oppenheimer funds is $500,000 or more,

o     to OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Ascender 401(k) plans that pay for the
            purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class A shares of one or
            more Oppenheimer funds,

o     to certain customers of broker-dealers and financial advisors that are
            identified in a special agreement between the broker-dealer or
            financial advisor and the Distributor for that purpose.

      The sales concession and the advance of the service fee, as described
in the Prospectus, will not be paid to dealers of record on sales of Class N
shares on:
o     purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a
            retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption
            proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds
            (other than rollovers from an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle
            or Ascender 401(k) plan to any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer
            funds),
o     purchases of Class N shares in amounts of $500,000 or more by a
            retirement plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption
            proceeds of  Class C shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held
            by the plan for more than one year (other than rollovers from an
            OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan to
            any IRA invested in the Oppenheimer funds), and
o     on purchases of Class N shares by an OppenheimerFunds-sponsored
            Pinnacle or Ascender 401(k) plan made with the redemption
            proceeds of Class A shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds.

      No sales concessions will be paid to the broker-dealer of record, as
described in the Prospectus, on sales of Class N shares purchased with the
redemption proceeds of shares of another mutual fund offered as an investment
option in a retirement plan in which Oppenheimer funds are also offered as
investment options under a special arrangement with the Distributor, if the
purchase occurs more than 30 days after the Oppenheimer funds are added as an
investment option under that plan.

      |X|   Allocation of Expenses. The Fund pays expenses related to its
daily operations, such as custodian fees, Trustees' fees, transfer agency
fees, legal fees and auditing costs.  Those expenses are paid out of the
Fund's assets and are  not paid directly by shareholders.  However, those
expenses reduce the net asset values of shares, and therefore are indirectly
borne by shareholders through their investment.

      The methodology for calculating the net asset value, dividends and
distributions of the Fund's share classes recognizes two types of expenses.
General expenses that do not pertain specifically to any one class are
allocated pro rata to the shares of all classes. The allocation is based on
the percentage of the Fund's total assets that is represented by the assets
of each class, and then equally to each outstanding share within a given
class.  Such general expenses include management fees, legal, bookkeeping and
audit fees, printing and mailing costs of shareholder reports, Prospectuses,
Statements of Additional Information and other materials for current
shareholders, fees to unaffiliated Trustees, custodian expenses, share
issuance costs, organization and start-up costs, interest, taxes and
brokerage commissions, and non-recurring expenses, such as litigation costs.

      Other expenses that are directly attributable to a particular class are
allocated equally to each outstanding share within that class.  Examples of
such expenses include distribution and service plan (12b-1) fees, transfer
and shareholder servicing agent fees and expenses, and shareholder meeting
expenses (to the extent that such expenses pertain only to a specific class).


Account Fees. As stated in the Prospectus, a $12 annual fee is assessed on
any account valued at less than $500.  This fee will not be assessed on the
following accounts:

o     Accounts that have balances below $500 due to the automatic conversion
      of shares from Class B to Class A shares;
o     Accounts with an active Asset Builder Plan, payroll deduction plan or a
      military allotment plan;
o     OppenheimerFunds-sponsored group retirement accounts that are making
      continuing purchases;
o     Certain accounts held by broker-dealers through the National Securities
      Clearing Corporation; and
o     Accounts that fall below the $500 threshold due solely to market
      fluctuations within the 12-month period preceding the date the fee is
      deducted.

      The fee is automatically deducted from qualifying accounts annually on
or about the second to last business day of September.  This annual fee is
waived for any shareholders who elect to access their account documents
through electronic document delivery rather than in paper copy and who elect
to utilize the Internet or PhoneLink as their primary source for their
general servicing needs.  To sign up to access account documents
electronically via eDocs Direct, please visit the Service Center on our
website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.888.470.0862 for instructions.
           ------------------------


Determination of Net Asset Values Per Share.  The net asset values per share
of each class of shares of the Fund are determined as of the close of
business of the Exchange on each day that the Exchange is open. The
calculation is done by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets
attributable to a class by the number of shares of that class that are
outstanding.  The Exchange normally closes at 4:00 P.M., Eastern time, but
may close earlier on some other days (for example, in case of weather
emergencies or on days falling before a U.S. holiday).  All references to
time in this Statement of Additional Information mean "Eastern time." The
Exchange's most recent annual announcement (which is subject to change)
states that it will close on New Year's Day, , Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Presidents' Day Good Friday, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day,
Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.  It may also close on other days.


      Dealers other than Exchange members may conduct trading in certain
securities on days on which the Exchange is closed (including weekends and
holidays) or after 4:00 P.M. on a regular business day. Because the Fund's
net asset values will not be calculated on those days, the Fund's net asset
values per share may be significantly affected on such days when shareholders
may not purchase or redeem shares. Additionally, trading on European and
Asian stock exchanges and over-the-counter markets normally is completed
before the close of The Exchange.

      Changes in the values of securities traded on foreign exchanges or
markets as a result of events that occur after the prices of those securities
are determined, but before the close of The Exchange, will not be reflected
in the Fund's calculation of its net asset values that day unless the Manager
determines that the event is likely to effect a material change in the value
of the security. The Manager, or an internal valuation committee established
by the Manager, as applicable, may establish a valuation, under procedures
established by the Board and subject to the approval, ratification and
confirmation by the Board at its next ensuing meeting.

      |X|   Securities Valuation.  The Fund's Board of Trustees has
established procedures for the valuation of the Fund's securities. In general
those procedures are as follows:
o     Equity securities traded on a U.S. securities exchange or on Nasdaq(R)
are valued as follows:
(1)   if last sale information is regularly reported, they are valued at the
               last reported sale price on the principal exchange on which
               they are traded or on Nasdaq, as applicable, on that day, or
(2)   if last sale information is not available on a valuation date, they are
               valued at the last reported sale price preceding the valuation
               date if it is within the spread of the closing "bid" and
               "asked" prices on the valuation date or, if not,  at the
               closing "bid" price on the valuation date.
o     Equity securities traded on a foreign securities exchange generally are
valued in one of the following ways:
(1)   at the last sale price available to the pricing service approved by the
               Board of Trustees, or
(2)   at the last sale price obtained by the Manager from the report of the
               principal exchange on which the security is traded at its last
               trading session on or immediately before the valuation date, or
(3)   at the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices obtained from the
               principal exchange on which the security is traded or, on the
               basis of reasonable inquiry, from two market makers in the
               security.
o     Long-term debt securities having a remaining maturity in excess of 60
days are valued based on the mean between the "bid" and "asked" prices
determined by a portfolio pricing service approved by the Fund's Board of
Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the
security on the basis of reasonable inquiry.
o     The following securities are valued at the mean between the "bid" and
"asked" prices determined by a pricing service approved by the Fund's Board
of Trustees or obtained by the Manager from two active market makers in the
security on the basis of reasonable inquiry:
(1)   debt instruments that have a maturity of more than 397 days when
                 issued,
(2)   debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or less when issued
                 and have a remaining maturity of more than 60 days, and
(3)   non-money market debt instruments that had a maturity of 397 days or
                 less when issued and which have a remaining maturity of 60
                 days or less.

o     The following securities are valued at cost, adjusted for amortization
of premiums and accretion of discounts:
(1)   money market debt securities held by a non-money market fund that had a
               maturity of less than 397 days when issued that have a
               remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and
(2)   debt instruments held by a money market fund that have a remaining
               maturity of 397 days or less.
o     Securities (including restricted securities) not having
readily-available market quotations are valued at fair value determined under
the Board's procedures.  If the Manager is unable to locate two market makers
willing to give quotes, a security may be priced at the mean between the
"bid" and "asked" prices provided by a single active market maker (which in
certain cases may be the "bid" price if no "asked" price is available).

      In the case of U.S. government securities, mortgage-backed securities,
corporate bonds and foreign government securities, when last sale information
is not generally available, the Manager may use pricing services approved by
the Board of Trustees. The pricing service may use "matrix" comparisons to
the prices for comparable instruments on the basis of quality, yield and
maturity. Other special factors may be involved (such as the tax-exempt
status of the interest paid by municipal securities).  The Manager will
monitor the accuracy of the pricing services. That monitoring may include
comparing prices used for portfolio valuation to actual sales prices of
selected securities.

      The closing prices in the London foreign exchange market on a
particular business day that are provided to the Manager by a bank, dealer or
pricing service that the Manager has determined to be reliable are used to
value foreign currency, including forward contracts, and to convert to U.S.
dollars securities that are denominated in foreign currency.

      Puts, calls, and futures are valued at the last sale price on the
principal exchange on which they are traded or on Nasdaq, as applicable, as
determined by a pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees or by the
Manager.  If there were no sales that day, they shall be valued at the last
sale price on the preceding trading day if it is within the spread of the
closing "bid" and "asked" prices on the principal exchange or on Nasdaq on
the valuation date. If not, the value shall be the closing bid price on the
principal exchange or on Nasdaq on the valuation date.  If the put, call or
future is not traded on an exchange or on Nasdaq, it shall be valued by the
mean between "bid" and "asked" prices obtained by the Manager from two active
market makers. In certain cases that may be at the "bid" price if no "asked"
price is available.

      When the Fund writes an option, an amount equal to the premium received
is included in the Fund's Statement of Assets and Liabilities as an asset. An
equivalent credit is included in the liability section.  The credit is
adjusted ("marked-to-market") to reflect the current market value of the
option. In determining the Fund's gain on investments, if a call or put
written by the Fund is exercised, the proceeds are increased by the premium
received.  If a call or put written by the Fund expires, the Fund has a gain
in the amount of the premium. If the Fund enters into a closing purchase
transaction, it will have a gain or loss, depending on whether the premium
received was more or less than the cost of the closing transaction.  If the
Fund exercises a put it holds, the amount the Fund receives on its sale of
the underlying investment is reduced by the amount of premium paid by the
Fund.

How to Sell Shares

The information below supplements the terms and conditions for redeeming
shares set forth in the Prospectus.

Checkwriting.  When a check is presented to United Missouri Bank (the "Bank")
for clearance, the Bank will ask the Fund to redeem a sufficient number of
full and fractional shares in the shareholder's account to cover the amount
of the check.  This enables the shareholder to continue receiving dividends
on those shares until the check is presented to the Fund.  Checks may not be
presented for payment at the offices of the Bank or the Fund's custodian.
This limitation does not affect the use of checks for the payment of bills or
to obtain cash at other banks. The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend
or discontinue offering checkwriting privileges at any time.  The Fund will
provide you notice whenever it is required to do so by applicable law.

      In choosing to take advantage of the Checkwriting privilege, by signing
the account application or by completing a Checkwriting card, each individual
who signs:
(1)   for individual accounts, represents that they are the registered
         owner(s) of the shares of the Fund in that account;
(2)   for accounts for corporations, partnerships, trusts and other entities,
         represents that they are an officer, general partner, trustee or
         other fiduciary or agent, as applicable, duly authorized to act on
         behalf of the registered owner(s);
(3)   authorizes the Fund, its Transfer Agent and any bank through which the
         Fund's drafts (checks) are payable to pay all checks drawn on the
         Fund account of such person(s) and to redeem a sufficient amount of
         shares from that account to cover payment of each check;
(4)   specifically acknowledges that if they choose to permit checks to be
         honored if there is a single signature on checks drawn against joint
         accounts, or accounts for corporations, partnerships, trusts or
         other entities, the signature of any one signatory on a check will
         be sufficient to authorize payment of that check and redemption from
         the account, even if that account is registered in the names of more
         than one person or more than one authorized signature appears on the
         Checkwriting card or the application, as applicable;
(5)   understands that the Checkwriting privilege may be terminated or
         amended at any time by the Fund and/or the Fund's bank; and
(6)   acknowledges and agrees that neither the Fund nor its bank shall incur
         any liability for that amendment or termination of checkwriting
         privileges or for redeeming shares to pay checks reasonably believed
         by them to be genuine, or for returning or not paying checks that
         have not been accepted for any reason.

Sending Redemption Proceeds by Federal Funds Wire.  The Federal Funds wire of
redemption proceeds may be delayed if the Fund's custodian bank is not open
for business on a day when the Fund would normally authorize the wire to be
made, which is usually the Fund's next regular business day following the
redemption.  In those circumstances, the wire will not be transmitted until
the next bank business day on which the Fund is open for business.  No
dividends will be paid on the proceeds of redeemed shares awaiting transfer
by Federal Funds wire.

Reinvestment Privilege.  Within six months of a redemption, a shareholder may
reinvest all or part of the redemption proceeds of:
o     Class A shares purchased subject to an initial sales charge or Class A
         shares on which a contingent deferred sales charge was paid, or
o     Class B shares that were subject to the Class B contingent deferred
         sales charge when redeemed.

      The reinvestment may be made without sales charge only in Class A
shares of the Fund or any of the other Oppenheimer funds into which shares of
the Fund are exchangeable as described in "How to Exchange Shares" below.
Reinvestment will be at the net asset value next computed after the Transfer
Agent receives the reinvestment order.  The shareholder must ask the Transfer
Agent for that privilege at the time of reinvestment. This privilege does not
apply to Class C, and Class N shares. The Fund may amend, suspend or cease
offering this reinvestment privilege at any time as to shares redeemed after
the date of such amendment, suspension or cessation.

      Any capital gain that was realized when the shares were redeemed is
taxable, and reinvestment will not alter any capital gains tax payable on
that gain.  If there has been a capital loss on the redemption, some or all
of the loss may not be tax deductible, depending on the timing and amount of
the reinvestment.  Under the Internal Revenue Code, if the redemption
proceeds of Fund shares on which a sales charge was paid are reinvested in
shares of the Fund or another of the Oppenheimer funds within 90 days of
payment of the sales charge, the shareholder's basis in the shares of the
Fund that were redeemed may not include the amount of the sales charge paid.
That would reduce the loss or increase the gain recognized from the
redemption.  However, in that case the sales charge would be added to the
basis of the shares acquired by the reinvestment of the redemption proceeds.


Payments "In Kind." The Prospectus states that payment for shares tendered
for redemption is ordinarily made in cash. However, under certain
circumstances, the Board of Trustees of the Fund may determine that it would
be detrimental to the best interests of the remaining shareholders of the
Fund to make payment of a redemption order wholly or partly in cash. In that
case, the Fund may pay the redemption proceeds in whole or in part by a
distribution "in kind" of liquid securities from the portfolio of the Fund,
in lieu of cash.


      The Fund has elected to be governed by Rule 18f-1 under the Investment
Company Act. Under that rule, the Fund is obligated to redeem shares solely
in cash up to the lesser of $250,000 or 1% of the net assets of the Fund
during any 90-day period for any one shareholder. If shares are redeemed in
kind, the redeeming shareholder might incur brokerage or other costs in
selling the securities for cash. The Fund will value securities used to pay
redemptions in kind using the same method the Fund uses to value its
portfolio securities described above under "Determination of Net Asset Values
Per Share." That valuation will be made as of the time the redemption price
is determined.

Involuntary Redemptions. The Fund's Board of Trustees has the right to cause
the involuntary redemption of the shares held in any account if the aggregate
net asset value of those shares is less than $200 or such lesser amount as
the Board may fix.  The Board will not cause the involuntary redemption of
shares in an account if the aggregate net asset value of such shares has
fallen below the stated minimum solely as a result of market fluctuations.
If the Board exercises this right, it may also fix the requirements for any
notice to be given to the shareholders in question (not less than 30 days).
The Board may alternatively set requirements for the shareholder to increase
the investment, or set other terms and conditions so that the shares would
not be involuntarily redeemed.

Transfers of Shares.  A transfer of shares to a different registration is not
an event that triggers the payment of sales charges. Therefore, shares are
not subject to the payment of a contingent deferred sales charge of any class
at the time of transfer to the name of another person or entity. It does not
matter whether the transfer occurs by absolute assignment, gift or bequest,
as long as it does not involve, directly or indirectly, a public sale of the
shares.  When shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge are
transferred, the transferred shares will remain subject to the contingent
deferred sales charge. It will be calculated as if the transferee shareholder
had acquired the transferred shares in the same manner and at the same time
as the transferring shareholder.

      If less than all shares held in an account are transferred, and some
but not all shares in the account would be subject to a contingent deferred
sales charge if redeemed at the time of transfer, the priorities described in
the Prospectus under "How to Buy Shares" for the imposition of the Class B,
Class C and Class N contingent deferred sales charge will be followed in
determining the order in which shares are transferred.

Distributions From Retirement Plans.  Requests for distributions from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SIMPLE IRAs, 403(b)(7) custodial
plans, 401(k) plans or pension or profit-sharing plans should be addressed to
"Trustee, OppenheimerFunds Retirement Plans," c/o the Transfer Agent at its
address listed in "How To Sell Shares" in the Prospectus or on the back cover
of this Statement of Additional Information.  The request must:
(1)   state the reason for the distribution;
(2)   state the owner's awareness of tax penalties if the distribution is
         premature; and
(3)   conform to the requirements of the plan and the Fund's other redemption
         requirements.

      Participants (other than self-employed plan sponsors) in
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored pension or profit-sharing plans with shares of the
Fund held in the name of the plan or its fiduciary may not directly request
redemption of their accounts.  The plan administrator or fiduciary must sign
the request.

      Distributions from pension and profit sharing plans are subject to
special requirements under the Internal Revenue Code and certain documents
(available from the Transfer Agent) must be completed and submitted to the
Transfer Agent before the distribution may be made.  Distributions from
retirement plans are subject to withholding requirements under the Internal
Revenue Code, and IRS Form W-4P (available from the Transfer Agent) must be
submitted to the Transfer Agent with the distribution request, or the
distribution may be delayed.  Unless the shareholder has provided the
Transfer Agent with a certified tax identification number, the Internal
Revenue Code requires that tax be withheld from any distribution even if the
shareholder elects not to have tax withheld.  The Fund, the Manager, the
Distributor, and the Transfer Agent assume no responsibility to determine
whether a distribution satisfies the conditions of applicable tax laws and
will not be responsible for any tax penalties assessed in connection with a
distribution.

Special Arrangements for Repurchase of Shares from Dealers and Brokers.  The
Distributor is the Fund's agent to repurchase its shares from authorized
dealers or brokers on behalf of their customers.  Shareholders should contact
their broker or dealer to arrange this type of redemption. The repurchase
price per share will be the net asset value next computed after the
Distributor receives an order placed by the dealer or broker. However, if the
Distributor receives a repurchase order from a dealer or broker after the
close of The Exchange on a regular business day, it will be processed at that
day's net asset value if the order was received by the dealer or broker from
its customers prior to the time the Exchange closes. Normally, the Exchange
closes at 4:00 P.M., but may do so earlier on some days. Additionally, the
order must have been transmitted to and received by the Distributor prior to
its close of business that day (normally 5:00 P.M.).

      Ordinarily, for accounts redeemed by a broker-dealer under this
procedure, payment will be made within three business days after the shares
have been redeemed upon the Distributor's receipt of the required redemption
documents in proper form. The signature(s) of the registered owners on the
redemption documents must be guaranteed as described in the Prospectus.

Automatic Withdrawal and Exchange Plans.  Investors owning shares of the Fund
valued at $5,000 or more can authorize the Transfer Agent to redeem shares
(having a value of at least $50) automatically on a monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Withdrawal Plan.  Shares will
be redeemed three business days prior to the date requested by the
shareholder for receipt of the payment.  Automatic withdrawals of up to
$1,500 per month may be requested by telephone if payments are to be made by
check payable to all shareholders of record. Payments must also be sent to
the address of record for the account and the address must not have been
changed within the prior 30 days.  Required minimum distributions from
OppenheimerFunds-sponsored retirement plans may not be arranged on this
basis.

      Payments are normally made by check, but shareholders having
AccountLink privileges (see "How To Buy Shares") may arrange to have
Automatic Withdrawal Plan payments transferred to the bank account designated
on the account application or by signature-guaranteed instructions sent to
the Transfer Agent.  Shares are normally redeemed pursuant to an Automatic
Withdrawal Plan three business days before the payment transmittal date you
select in the account application.  If a contingent deferred sales charge
applies to the redemption, the amount of the check or payment will be reduced
accordingly.

      The Fund cannot guarantee receipt of a payment on the date requested.
The Fund reserves the right to amend, suspend or discontinue offering these
plans at any time without prior notice. Because of the sales charge assessed
on Class A share purchases, shareholders should not make regular additional
Class A share purchases while participating in an Automatic Withdrawal Plan.
Class B, Class C and Class N shareholders should not establish automatic
withdrawal plans, because of the potential imposition of the contingent
deferred sales charge on such withdrawals (except where the Class B, Class C
or Class N contingent deferred sales charge is waived as described in
Appendix C to this Statement of Additional Information).

      By requesting an Automatic Withdrawal or Exchange Plan, the shareholder
agrees to the terms and conditions that apply to such plans, as stated
below.  These provisions may be amended from time to time by the Fund and/or
the Distributor.  When adopted, any amendments will automatically apply to
existing Plans.

      |X|   Automatic Exchange Plans.  Shareholders can authorize the
Transfer Agent to exchange a pre-determined amount of shares of the Fund for
shares (of the same class) of other Oppenheimer funds automatically on a
monthly, quarterly, semi-annual or annual basis under an Automatic Exchange
Plan. The minimum amount that may be exchanged to each other fund account is
$50. Instructions should be provided on the OppenheimerFunds application or
signature-guaranteed instructions. Exchanges made under these plans are
subject to the restrictions that apply to exchanges as set forth in "How to
Exchange Shares" in the Prospectus and below in this Statement of Additional
Information.

Automatic  Withdrawal  Plans.  Fund shares will be  redeemed as  necessary  to
meet  withdrawal  payments.  Shares  acquired  without a sales  charge will be
redeemed first.  Shares  acquired with reinvested  dividends and capital gains
distributions will be redeemed next,  followed by shares acquired with a sales
charge,  to the extent necessary to make withdrawal  payments.  Depending upon
the amount  withdrawn,  the  investor's  principal  may be depleted.  Payments
made under these plans should not be  considered  as a yield or income on your
investment.

      The Transfer Agent will administer the investor's Automatic Withdrawal
Plan as agent for the shareholder(s) (the "Planholder") who executed the Plan
authorization and application submitted to the Transfer Agent.  Neither the
Fund nor the Transfer Agent shall incur any liability to the Planholder for
any action taken or not taken by the Transfer Agent in good faith to
administer the Plan. Share certificates will not be issued for shares of the
Fund purchased for and held under the Plan, but the Transfer Agent will
credit all such shares to the account of the Planholder on the records of the
Fund. Any share certificates held by a Planholder may be surrendered
unendorsed to the Transfer Agent with the Plan application so that the shares
represented by the certificate may be held under the Plan.

      For accounts subject to Automatic Withdrawal Plans, distributions of
capital gains must be reinvested in shares of the Fund, which will be done at
net asset value without a sales charge. Dividends on shares held in the
account may be paid in cash or reinvested.

      Shares will be redeemed to make withdrawal payments at the net asset
value per share determined on the redemption date.  Checks or AccountLink
payments representing the proceeds of Plan withdrawals will normally be
transmitted three business days prior to the date selected for receipt of the
payment, according to the choice specified in writing by the Planholder.
Receipt of payment on the date selected cannot be guaranteed.

      The amount and the interval of disbursement payments and the address to
which checks are to be mailed or AccountLink payments are to be sent may be
changed at any time by the Planholder by writing to the Transfer Agent.  The
Planholder should allow at least two weeks' time after mailing such
notification for the requested change to be put in effect.  The Planholder
may, at any time, instruct the Transfer Agent by written notice to redeem
all, or any part of, the shares held under the Plan. That notice must be in
proper form in accordance with the requirements of the then-current
Prospectus of the Fund. In that case, the Transfer Agent will redeem the
number of shares requested at the net asset value per share in effect and
will mail a check for the proceeds to the Planholder.

      The Planholder may terminate a Plan at any time by writing to the
Transfer Agent.  The Fund may also give directions to the Transfer Agent to
terminate a Plan. The Transfer Agent will also terminate a Plan upon its
receipt of evidence satisfactory to it that the Planholder has died or is
legally incapacitated. Upon termination of a Plan by the Transfer Agent or
the Fund, shares that have not been redeemed will be held in uncertificated
form in the name of the Planholder. The account will continue as a
dividend-reinvestment, uncertificated account unless and until proper
instructions are received from the Planholder, his or her executor or
guardian, or another authorized person.

      To use shares held under the Plan as collateral for a debt, the
Planholder may request issuance of a portion of the shares in certificated
form.  Upon written request from the Planholder, the Transfer Agent will
determine the number of shares for which a certificate may be issued without
causing the withdrawal checks to stop. However, should such uncertificated
shares become exhausted, Plan withdrawals will terminate.

      If the Transfer Agent ceases to act as transfer agent for the Fund, the
Planholder will be deemed to have appointed any successor transfer agent to
act as agent in administering the Plan.

How to Exchange Shares

As stated in the Prospectus, shares of a particular class of Oppenheimer
funds having more than one class of shares may be exchanged only for shares
of the same class of other Oppenheimer funds. Shares of Oppenheimer funds
that have a single class without a class designation are deemed "Class A"
shares for this purpose. You can obtain a current list showing which funds
offer which classes of shares by calling the Distributor.

o     All of the Oppenheimer funds currently offer Class A, B, C, N and Y
      shares with the following exceptions:

      The following funds only offer Class A shares:
      Centennial America Fund, L.P.           Centennial New York Tax Exempt

o     Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Asset Fund may not be exchanged for
      shares of any other fund.
o     Class B, Class C and Class N shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves are
      generally available only by exchange from the same class of shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds or through OppenheimerFunds-sponsored 401(k)
      plans.
o     Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible Securities Fund may be
      exchanged only for Class A shares of other Oppenheimer funds. They may
      not be acquired by exchange of shares of any class of any other
      Oppenheimer funds except Class A shares of Oppenheimer Money Market
      Fund or Oppenheimer Cash Reserves acquired by exchange of Class M
      shares.
o     Class X shares of Limited Term New York Municipal Fund may be exchanged
      only for Class B shares of other Oppenheimer funds and no exchanges may
      be made to Class X shares.
   Shares of Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund may not be exchanged for
      shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc., Oppenheimer Cash
      Reserves or Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund.  Only
      participants in certain retirement plans may purchase shares of
      Oppenheimer Capital Preservation Fund, and only those participants may
      exchange shares of other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer
      Capital Preservation Fund.
   o  Class A shares of Oppenheimer funds may be exchanged at net asset value
      for shares of any money market fund offered by the Distributor. Shares
      of any money market fund purchased without a sales charge may be
      exchanged for shares of Oppenheimer funds offered with a sales charge
      upon payment of the sales charge. They may also be used to purchase
      shares of Oppenheimer funds subject to an early withdrawal charge or
      contingent deferred sales charge.
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. purchased with the
      redemption proceeds of shares of other mutual funds (other than funds
      managed by the Manager or its subsidiaries) redeemed within the 30 days
      prior to that purchase may subsequently be exchanged for shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds without being subject to an initial sales
      charge or contingent deferred sales charge. To qualify for that
      privilege, the investor or the investor's dealer must notify the
      Distributor of eligibility for this privilege at the time the shares of
      Oppenheimer Money Market Fund, Inc. are purchased. If requested, they
      must supply proof of entitlement to this privilege.
o     Shares of the Fund acquired by reinvestment of dividends or
      distributions from any of the other Oppenheimer funds or from any unit
      investment trust for which reinvestment arrangements have been made
      with the Distributor may be exchanged at net asset value for shares of
      any of the Oppenheimer funds.

o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (8/5/2010).
o     Shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected Main Street Fund II may be
      exchanged at net asset value for shares of any of the Oppenheimer
      funds. However, shareholders are not permitted to exchange shares of
      other Oppenheimer funds for shares of Oppenheimer Principal Protected
      Main Street Fund II until after the expiration of the warranty period
      (2/4/2011).


      The Fund may amend, suspend or terminate the exchange privilege at any
time. Although the Fund may impose these changes at any time, it will provide
you with notice of those changes whenever it is required to do so by
applicable law. It may be required to provide 60 days' notice prior to
materially amending or terminating the exchange privilege. That 60 day notice
is not required in extraordinary circumstances.

      |X|   How Exchanges Affect Contingent Deferred Sales Charges. No
contingent deferred sales charge is imposed on exchanges of shares of any
class purchased subject to a contingent deferred sales charge, with the
following exceptions:

o     When Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund (other than Rochester
National Municipals and Rochester Fund Municipals) acquired by exchange of
Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund purchased subject to a Class A
contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed within 18 months measured from
the beginning of the calendar month of the initial purchase of the o
exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge is
imposed on the redeemed shares.

o     When Class A shares of Rochester National Municipals and Rochester Fund
Municipals acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer fund
purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are redeemed
within 24 months of the beginning of the calendar month of the initial
purchase of the exchanged Class A shares, the Class A contingent deferred
sales charge is imposed on the redeemed shares.

o     If any Class A shares of another Oppenheimer fund that are exchanged
for Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund are subject to
the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the other Oppenheimer fund at
the time of exchange, the holding period
for that Class A contingent deferred sales charge will carry over to the
Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund acquired in the
exchange. The Class A shares of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund
acquired in that exchange will be subject to the Class A Early Withdrawal
Charge of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund if they are repurchased
before the expiration of the holding period.

o     When Class A shares of Oppenheimer Cash Reserves and Oppenheimer Money
Market Fund, Inc. acquired by exchange of Class A shares of any Oppenheimer
fund purchased subject to a Class A contingent deferred sales charge are
redeemed within the Class A holding period of the fund from which the shares
were exchanged, the Class A contingent deferred sales charge of the fund from
which the shares were exchanged is imposed on the redeemed shares. With
respect to Class B shares, the Class B contingent deferred sales charge is
imposed on Class B shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed within
six years of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class B shares.

o     With respect to Class C shares, the Class C contingent deferred sales
charge is imposed on Class C shares acquired by exchange if they are redeemed
within 12 months of the initial purchase of the exchanged Class C shares.

o     With respect to Class N shares, a 1% contingent deferred sales charge
will be imposed if the retirement plan (not including IRAs and 403(b) plans)
is terminated or Class N shares of all Oppenheimer funds are terminated as an
investment option of the plan and Class N shares are redeemed within 18
months after the plan's first purchase of Class N shares of any Oppenheimer
fund or with respect to an individual retirement plan or 403(b) plan, Class N
shares o are redeemed within 18 months of the plan's first purchase of Class
N shares of any Oppenheimer fund.

o     When Class B, Class C or Class N shares are redeemed to effect an
exchange, the priorities described in "How To Buy Shares" in the Prospectus
for the imposition of the Class B, Class C or Class N contingent deferred
sales charge will be followed in determining the order in which the shares
are exchanged. Before exchanging shares, shareholders should take into
account how the exchange may affect any contingent deferred sales charge that
might be imposed in the subsequent redemption of remaining shares.

      Shareholders owning shares of more than one class must specify which
class of shares they wish to exchange.

      |X|   Limits on Multiple Exchange Orders. The Fund reserves the right
to reject telephone or written exchange requests submitted in bulk by anyone
on behalf of more than one account.  The Fund may accept requests for
exchanges of up to 50 accounts per day from representatives of authorized
dealers that qualify for this privilege.

      |X|   Telephone Exchange Requests. When exchanging shares by telephone,
a shareholder must have an existing account in the fund to which the exchange
is to be made. Otherwise, the investors must obtain a prospectus of that fund
before the exchange request may be submitted. If all telephone lines are busy
(which might occur, for example, during periods of substantial market
fluctuations), shareholders might not be able to request exchanges by
telephone and would have to submit written exchange requests.

Processing  Exchange  Requests.  Shares to be  exchanged  are  redeemed on the
regular  business  day the  Transfer  Agent  receives an  exchange  request in
proper  form  (the  "Redemption  Date").  Normally,  shares  of the fund to be
acquired are  purchased on the  Redemption  Date,  but such  purchases  may be
delayed  by either  fund up to five  business  days if it  determines  that it
would be  disadvantaged by an immediate  transfer of the redemption  proceeds.
The Fund  reserves  the  right,  in its  discretion,  to refuse  any  exchange
request  that may  disadvantage  it. For  example,  if the receipt of multiple
exchange  requests  from a dealer might require the  disposition  of portfolio
securities at a time or at a price that might be  disadvantageous to the Fund,
the Fund may refuse the request.

      When you exchange some or all of your shares from one fund to another,
any special account feature such as an Asset Builder Plan or Automatic
Withdrawal Plan, will be switched to the new fund account unless you tell the
Transfer Agent not to do so.  However, special redemption and exchange
features such as Automatic Exchange Plans and Automatic Withdrawal Plans
cannot be switched to an account in Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund.

      In connection with any exchange request, the number of shares exchanged
may be less than the number requested if the exchange or the number requested
would include shares subject to a restriction cited in the Prospectus or this
Statement of Additional Information, or would include shares covered by a
share certificate that is not tendered with the request.  In those cases,
only the shares available for exchange without restriction will be exchanged.

      The different Oppenheimer funds available for exchange have different
investment objectives, policies and risks. A shareholder should assure that
the fund selected is appropriate for his or her investment and should be
aware of the tax consequences of an exchange.  For federal income tax
purposes, an exchange transaction is treated as a redemption of shares of one
fund and a purchase of shares of another.  "Reinvestment Privilege," above,
discusses some of the tax consequences of reinvestment of redemption proceeds
in such cases.  The Fund, the Distributor, and the Transfer Agent are unable
to provide investment, tax or legal advice to a shareholder in connection
with an exchange request or any other investment transaction.

Dividends, Capital Gains and Taxes

Dividends and Distributions. The Fund has no fixed dividend rate and there
can be no assurance as to the payment of any dividends or the realization of
any capital gains. The dividends and distributions paid by a class of shares
will vary from time to time depending on market conditions, the composition
of the Fund's portfolio, and expenses borne by the Fund or borne separately
by a class. Dividends are calculated in the same manner, at the same time,
and on the same day for each class of shares. However, dividends on Class B,
Class C and Class N shares are expected to be lower than dividends on Class A
shares. That is because of the effect of the asset-based sales charge on
Class B, Class C and Class N shares. Those dividends will also differ in
amount as a consequence of any difference in the net asset values of the
different classes of shares.

      Dividends, distributions and proceeds of the redemption of Fund shares
represented by checks returned to the Transfer Agent by the Postal Service as
undeliverable will be invested in shares of Oppenheimer Money Market Fund,
Inc.  Reinvestment will be made as promptly as possible after the return of
such checks to the Transfer Agent, to enable the investor to earn a return on
otherwise idle funds. Unclaimed accounts may be subject to state escheatment
laws, and the Fund and the Transfer Agent will not be liable to shareholders
or their representatives for compliance with those laws in good faith.

Tax Status of the Fund's Dividends, Distributions and Redemptions of Shares.
The federal tax treatment of the Fund's dividends and capital gains
distributions is briefly highlighted in the Prospectus. The following is only
a summary of certain additional tax considerations generally affecting the
Fund and its shareholders.

      The tax discussion in the Prospectus and this Statement of Additional
Information is based on tax law in effect on the date of the Prospectus and
this Statement of Additional Information. Those laws and regulations may be
changed by legislative, judicial, or administrative action, sometimes with
retroactive effect. State and local tax treatment of ordinary income
dividends and capital gain dividends from regulated investment companies may
differ from the treatment under the Internal Revenue Code described below.
Potential purchasers of shares of the Fund are urged to consult their tax
advisors with specific reference to their own tax circumstances as well as
the consequences of federal, state and local tax rules affecting an
investment in the Fund.

Qualification as a Regulated Investment Company.  The Fund has elected to be
taxed as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  As a regulated investment company, the
Fund is not subject to federal income tax on the portion of its net
investment income (that is, taxable interest, dividends, and other taxable
ordinary income, net of expenses) and capital gain net income (that is, the
excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses)
that it distributes to shareholders. That qualification enables the Fund to
"pass through" its income and realized capital gains to shareholders without
having to pay tax on them. This avoids a "double tax" on that income and
capital gains, since shareholders normally will be taxed on the dividends and
capital gains they receive from the Fund (unless their Fund shares are held
in a retirement account or the shareholder is otherwise exempt from tax).

      The Internal Revenue Code contains a number of complex tests relating
to qualification that the Fund might not meet in a particular year. If it did
not qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund would be treated for
tax purposes as an ordinary corporation and would receive no tax deduction
for payments made to shareholders.

      To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must distribute
at least 90% of its investment company taxable income (in brief, net
investment income and the excess of net short-term capital gain over net
long-term capital loss) for the taxable year. The Fund must also satisfy
certain other requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, some of which are
described below.  Distributions by the Fund made during the taxable year or,
under specified circumstances, within 12 months after the close of the
taxable year, will be considered distributions of income and gains for the
taxable year and will therefore count toward satisfaction of the
above-mentioned requirement.

      To qualify as a regulated investment company, the Fund must derive at
least 90% of its gross income from dividends, interest, certain payments with
respect to securities loans, gains from the sale or other disposition of
stock or securities or foreign currencies (to the extent such currency gains
are directly related to the regulated investment company's principal business
of investing in stock or securities) and certain other income.

      In addition to satisfying the requirements described above, the Fund
must satisfy an asset diversification test in order to qualify as a regulated
investment company.  Under that test, at the close of each quarter of the
Fund's taxable year, at least 50% of the value of the Fund's assets must
consist of cash and cash items (including receivables), U.S. government
securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and
securities of other issuers. As to each of those issuers, the Fund must not
have invested more than 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets in
securities of each such issuer and the Fund must not hold more than 10% of
the outstanding voting securities of each such issuer. No more than 25% of
the value of its total assets may be invested in the securities of any one
issuer (other than U.S. government securities and securities of other
regulated investment companies), or in two or more issuers which the Fund
controls and which are engaged in the same or similar trades or businesses.
For purposes of this test, obligations issued or guaranteed by certain
agencies or instrumentalities of the U.S. government are treated as U.S.
government securities.

Excise Tax on Regulated Investment Companies. Under the Internal Revenue
Code, by December 31 each year, the Fund must distribute 98% of its taxable
investment income earned from January 1 through December 31 of that year and
98% of its capital gains realized in the period from November 1 of the prior
year through October 31 of the current year. If it does not, the Fund must
pay an excise tax on the amounts not distributed. It is presently anticipated
that the Fund will meet those requirements. To meet this requirement, in
certain circumstances the Fund might be required to liquidate portfolio
investments to make sufficient distributions to avoid excise tax liability.
However, the Board of Trustees and the Manager might determine in a
particular year that it would be in the best interests of shareholders for
the Fund not to make such distributions at the required levels and to pay the
excise tax on the undistributed amounts. That would reduce the amount of
income or capital gains available for distribution to shareholders.

Taxation   of  Fund   Distributions.   The   Fund   anticipates   distributing
substantially  all of its investment  company  taxable income for each taxable
year. Those  distributions  will be taxable to shareholders as ordinary income
and treated as dividends for federal income tax purposes.

      Special provisions of the Internal Revenue Code govern the eligibility
of the Fund's dividends for the dividends-received deduction for corporate
shareholders.  Long-term capital gains distributions are not eligible for the
deduction.  The amount of dividends paid by the Fund that may qualify for the
deduction is limited to the aggregate amount of qualifying dividends that the
Fund derives from portfolio investments that the Fund has held for a minimum
period, usually 46 days. A corporate shareholder will not be eligible for the
deduction on dividends paid on Fund shares held for 45 days or less.  To the
extent the Fund's dividends are derived from gross income from option
premiums, interest income or short-term gains from the sale of securities or
dividends from foreign corporations, those dividends will not qualify for the
deduction. Since it is anticipated that most of the Fund's income will be
derived from interest it receives on its investments, the Fund does not
anticipate that its distributions will qualify for this deduction.

      The Fund may either retain or distribute to shareholders its net
capital gain for each taxable year.  The Fund currently intends to distribute
any such amounts.  If net long term capital gains are distributed and
designated as a capital gain distribution, it will be taxable to shareholders
as a long-term capital gain and will be properly identified in reports sent
to shareholders in January of each year. Such treatment will apply no matter
how long the shareholder has held his or her shares or whether that gain was
recognized by the Fund before the shareholder acquired his or her shares.

      If the Fund elects to retain its net capital gain, the Fund will be
subject to tax on it at the 35% corporate tax rate. If the Fund elects to
retain its net capital gain, the Fund will provide to shareholders of record
on the last day of its taxable year information regarding their pro rata
share of the gain and tax paid. As a result, each shareholder will be
required to report his or her pro rata share of such gain on their tax return
as long-term capital gain, will receive a refundable tax credit for his/her
pro rata share of tax paid by the Fund on the gain, and will increase the tax
basis for his/her shares by an amount equal to the deemed distribution less
the tax credit.

      Investment income that may be received by the Fund from sources within
foreign countries may be subject to foreign taxes withheld at the source.
The United States has entered into tax treaties with many foreign countries
which entitle the Fund to a reduced rate of, or exemption from, taxes on such
income.

      Distributions by the Fund that do not constitute ordinary income
dividends or capital gain distributions will be treated as a return of
capital to the extent of the shareholder's tax basis in their shares. Any
excess will be treated as gain from the sale of those shares, as discussed
below. Shareholders will be advised annually as to the U.S. federal income
tax consequences of distributions made (or deemed made) during the year. If
prior distributions made by the Fund must be re-characterized as a
non-taxable return of capital at the end of the fiscal year as a result of
the effect of the Fund's investment policies, they will be identified as such
in notices sent to shareholders.

      Distributions by the Fund will be treated in the manner described above
regardless of whether the distributions are paid in cash or reinvested in
additional shares of the Fund (or of another fund).  Shareholders receiving a
distribution in the form of additional shares will be treated as receiving a
distribution in an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares
received, determined as of the reinvestment date.

      The Fund will be required in certain cases to withhold 30% (29% for
payments after December 31, 2003) of ordinary income dividends, capital gains
distributions and the proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any
shareholder (1) who has failed to provide a correct taxpayer identification
                                            -------
number or to properly certify that number when required, (2) who is subject
to backup withholding for failure to report the receipt of interest or
dividend income properly, or (3) who has failed to certify to the Fund that
the shareholder is not subject to backup withholding or is an "exempt
recipient" (such as a corporation). All income and any tax withheld by the
Fund is remitted by the Fund to the U.S. Treasury and is identified in
reports mailed to shareholders in January of each year.

Tax  Effects of  Redemptions  of Shares.  If a  shareholder  redeems  all or a
portion of his/her shares,  the  shareholder  will recognize a gain or loss on
the redeemed shares in an amount equal to the difference  between the proceeds
of the  redeemed  shares  and the  shareholder's  adjusted  tax  basis  in the
shares.  All or a  portion  of any  loss  recognized  in  that  manner  may be
disallowed  if the  shareholder  purchases  other shares of the Fund within 30
days before or after the redemption.

      In general, any gain or loss arising from the redemption of shares of
the Fund will be considered capital gain or loss, if the shares were held as
a capital asset. It will be long-term capital gain or loss if the shares were
held for more than one year.  However, any capital loss arising from the
redemption of shares held for six months or less will be treated as a
long-term capital loss to the extent of the amount of capital gain dividends
received on those shares. Special holding period rules under the Internal
Revenue Code apply in this case to determine the holding period of shares and
there are limits on the deductibility of capital losses in any year.

Foreign Shareholders.  Under U.S. tax law, taxation of a shareholder who is a
foreign person (to include, but not limited to, a nonresident alien
individual, a foreign trust, a foreign estate, a foreign corporation, or a
foreign partnership) primarily depends on whether the foreign person's income
from the Fund is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or
business. Typically, ordinary income dividends paid from a mutual fund are
not considered "effectively connected" income.

      Ordinary income dividends that are paid by the Fund (and are deemed not
"effectively connected income") to foreign persons will be subject to a U.S.
tax withheld by the Fund at a rate of 30%, provided the Fund obtains a
properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status. The tax rate may
be reduced if the foreign person's country of residence has a tax treaty with
the U.S. allowing for a reduced tax rate on ordinary income dividends paid by
the Fund. All income and any tax withheld by the Fund is remitted by the Fund
to the U.S. Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in
March of each year.

      If the ordinary income dividends from the Fund are effectively
                                                     ---
connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, then the foreign
person may claim an exemption from the U.S. tax described above provided the
Fund obtains a properly completed and signed Certificate of Foreign Status.


      If the foreign person fails to provide a certification of his/her
foreign status, the Fund will be required to withhold U.S. tax at a rate of
28% on ordinary income dividends, capital gains distributions and the
proceeds of the redemption of shares, paid to any foreign person. All income
and any tax withheld (in this situation) by the Fund is remitted by the Fund
to the U.S. Treasury and is identified in reports mailed to shareholders in
January of each year.


      The tax consequences to foreign persons entitled to claim the benefits
of an applicable tax treaty may be different from those described herein.
Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors or the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service with respect to the particular tax consequences to
them of an investment in the Fund, including the applicability of the U.S.
withholding taxes described above.

Dividend Reinvestment in Another Fund.  Shareholders of the Fund may elect to
reinvest all dividends and/or capital gains distributions in shares of the
same class of any of the other Oppenheimer funds listed above. Reinvestment
will be made without sales charge at the net asset value per share in effect
at the close of business on the payable date of the dividend or distribution.
To elect this option, the shareholder must notify the Transfer Agent in
writing and must have an existing account in the fund selected for
reinvestment. Otherwise the shareholder first must obtain a prospectus for
that fund and an application from the Distributor to establish an account.
Dividends and/or distributions from shares of certain other Oppenheimer funds
(other than Oppenheimer Cash Reserves) may be invested in shares of this Fund
on the same basis.







Additional Information About the Fund

The Distributor.  The Fund's shares are sold through dealers, brokers and
other financial institutions that have a sales agreement with
OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., a subsidiary of the Manager that acts as

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer International Bond Fund:

  We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer International Bond Fund, including the statement of investments, as of September 30, 2003, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated. 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 September 30, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers; where replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. 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 International Bond Fund as of September 30, 2003, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

25 | OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies

  Oppenheimer International Bond Fund (the Fund) is a registered investment company organized as a Massachusetts Business Trust. The Fund is registered as a non-diversified, open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. The Fund’s investment advisor is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the Manager).

  The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class B, Class C and Class N shares are 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. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ by minor amounts due to each class having its own expenses directly attributable to that class. Classes A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares six years after the date of purchase.

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

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Securities Valuation. Securities listed or traded on National Stock Exchanges or other domestic or foreign exchanges are valued based on the last sale price of the security traded on that exchange prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities traded on NASDAQ are valued based on the closing price provided by NASDAQ 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 closing bid and asked prices, and if not, at the closing bid price. Securities (including restricted securities) for which quotations are not readily available are valued primarily using dealer-supplied valuations, a portfolio pricing service authorized by the Board of Trustees, or at their fair value. Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. Short-term “money market type” debt securities with remaining maturities of sixty days or less are valued at amortized cost (which approximates market value).

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Structured Notes. The Fund invests in foreign currency-linked structured notes whose market values and redemption prices are linked to foreign currency exchange rates. The Fund also invests in “index-linked” notes whose principal and/or interest payments depend on the performance of an underlying index. The structured notes are leveraged, increasing the volatility of each note’s market value relative to the change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rate or underlying index. Fluctuations in value of these securities are recorded as unrealized gains and losses in the accompanying financial statements. The Fund records a realized gain or loss when a structured note is sold or matures. As of September 30, 2003, the market value of these securities comprised 9.2% of the Fund’s net assets and resulted in unrealized gains of $1,198,616. The Fund also

26 | OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  hedges a portion of the foreign currency exposure generated by these securities, as discussed in Note 5.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Securities on a Delayed Settlement Basis. Delivery and payment for securities that have been purchased by the Fund on a delayed settlement basis can take place a month or more after the trade date. Normally the settlement date occurs within six months after the trade date; however, the Fund may, from time to time, purchase securities whose settlement date extends six months or more beyond 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 Fund maintains segregated assets with a market value equal to or greater than the amount of its purchase commitments. The purchase of securities on a delayed settlement basis may increase the volatility of the Fund’s net asset value to the extent the Fund makes such purchases while remaining substantially fully invested. As of September 30, 2003, the Fund had entered into delayed settlement purchase commitments of $19,627,024.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Security Credit Risk. The Fund invests in high-yield securities, which may be subject to a greater degree of credit risk, market fluctuations and loss of income and principal, and may be more sensitive to economic conditions than lower-yielding, higher-rated fixed-income securities. The Fund may acquire securities in default, and is not obligated to dispose of securities whose issuers subsequently default. As of September 30, 2003, securities with an aggregate market value of $6,655,323, representing 1.01% of the Fund’s net assets, were in default.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund's accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Prices of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange. Amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and investment income are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions.

  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.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Joint Repurchase Agreements. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Fund, along with other affiliated funds advised by the Manager, may transfer uninvested cash balances into joint trading accounts on a daily basis. Secured by U.S. government securities, these balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements. Securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements are held by a custodian bank until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal. In the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

27 | OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued

  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 tax components of capital shown in the table below 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.

Net Unrealized Appreciation Based on Cost of Securities and Undistributed Undistributed Accumulated Other Investments Net Investment Long-Term Loss for Federal Income Income Gain Carryforward 1,2 Tax Purposes -------------------------------------------------------------------

  $23,532,998 $-- $2,082,181 $33,151,592 1. As of September 30, 2003, the Fund had $2,082,181 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of September 30, 2003, details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

Expiring 2008 $ 783,099 2009 1,299,082 Total $2,082,181 ========== 2. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002, the Fund utilized $34,133,620 and $32,731, respectively, of capital loss carryforwards to offset capital gains realized in the respective fiscal years. During the fiscal year $3,670,346 of unused capital loss carryforward expired.

  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 September 30, 2003. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

From From Net Ordinary Capital Tax Return Investment Loss Gain of Capital Loss ------------------------------------------------------- $17,236,931 $20,246,886 $-- $-- 28 | OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND

  The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended September 30, 2003 and September 30, 2002 was as follows:

Year Ended Year Ended September 30, 2003 September 30, 2002 --------------------------------------------------------------- Distributions paid from: Ordinary income $17,157,615 $10,139,173 Return of capital -- 1,849,704 ------------------------------- Total $17,157,615 $11,988,877 ===============================

  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 September 30, 2003 are noted below. 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.

Federal tax cost of securities and other investments $1,073,747,443 ============== Gross unrealized appreciation $ 42,029,461 Gross unrealized depreciation (8,877,869) -------------- Net unrealized appreciation $ 33,151,592 ==============

  The Manager believes that an additional ordinary income distribution for tax purposes is likely to occur in December, 2003. The dollar and per share amounts cannot be estimated as of September 30, 2003.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Trustees’ Compensation. The Board of Trustees has adopted a deferred compensation 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. Under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or are invested in other selected Oppenheimer funds. 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 to the Plan.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, 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, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

29 | OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued Expense Offset Arrangement. The reduction of custodian fees represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

  The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $0.001 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

Foreign Currency Contracts

  A foreign currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date, at a negotiated rate. The Fund may enter into foreign currency contracts to settle specific purchases or sales of securities denominated in a foreign currency and for protection from adverse exchange rate fluctuation. Risks to the Fund include the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract.

  The net U.S. dollar value of foreign currency underlying all contractual commitments held by the Fund and the resulting unrealized appreciation or depreciation are determined using prevailing foreign currency exchange rates. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on foreign currency contracts are reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations with the change in unrealized appreciation or depreciation.

  The Fund may realize a gain or loss upon the closing or settlement of the foreign transaction. Contracts closed or settled with the same broker are recorded as net realized gain or loss. Such realized gains and losses are reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Statement of Operations.

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Futures Contracts

  A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity or financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. Futures contracts are traded on a commodity exchange. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts that relate to broadly based securities indices “financial futures” or debt securities “interest rate futures” in order to gain exposure to or protection from changes in market value of stock and bonds or interest rates. The Fund may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.

  The Fund generally sells futures contracts as a hedge against increases in interest rates and decreases in market value of portfolio securities. The Fund may also purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes as it may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying fixed income securities.

  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. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or has expired.

  Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts is noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. The Statement of Assets and Liabilities reflects a receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for variation margin. Realized gains and

33 | OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Futures Contracts Continued

  losses are reported on the Statement of Operations as closing and expiration of futures contracts. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported on the Statement of Operations.

  Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contract or option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.

        As of September 30, 2003, the Fund had outstanding futures contracts as follows:

                                                                                 Unrealized

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Option Activity

  The Fund may buy and sell put and call options, or write put and covered call options on portfolio securities in order to produce incremental earnings or protect against changes in the value of portfolio securities.

  The Fund generally purchases put options or writes covered call options to hedge against adverse movements in the value of portfolio holdings. 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 and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. The Fund will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. When an option is exercised, the proceeds on sales for a written call option, the purchase cost for a written put option, or the cost of the security for a purchased put or call option is adjusted by the amount of premium received or paid.

  Securities designated to cover outstanding call options are noted in the Statement of Investments where applicable. Shares subject to call, expiration date, exercise price, premium received and market value are detailed in a note to the Statement of Investments. Options written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Realized gains and losses are reported in the Statement of Operations.

  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

34 | OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  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 of not being able to enter into a closing transaction if a liquid secondary market does not exist.

        Written option activity for the year ended September 30, 2003 was as follows:

                                                  Call Options                    Put Options

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Interest Rate Swap Contracts

  The Fund may enter into an interest rate swap transaction to maintain a total return or yield spread on a particular investment, or portion of its portfolio, or for other non-speculative purposes. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating rate payments for fixed rate payments. The coupon payments are based on an agreed upon principal amount and a specified index. Because the principal amount is not exchanged, it represents neither an asset nor a liability to either counterparty, and is referred to as notional. The Fund records an increase or decrease to interest income, in the amount due to or owed by the Fund at termination or settlement.

  Interest rate swaps are subject to credit risk (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations) and interest rate risk. The Fund could be obligated to pay more under its swap agreements than it receives under them, as a result of interest rate changes.

  As of September 30, 2003, the Fund had entered into the following interest rate swap agreements:

                                            Floating Rate

  During the year ended September 30, 2003, the Fund entered into a transaction to hedge credit risk. The Fund pays an annual 2% interest fee on the notional amount in exchange for the counterparty paying in a potential credit event. Information regarding the credit swap is as follows:

36 | OPPENHEIMER INTERNATIONAL BOND FUND - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. Swaption Transactions

  The Fund may enter into a swaption transaction, whereby a contract that grants the holder, in return for payment of the purchase price (the “premium”) of the option, the right, but not the obligation, to enter into an interest rate swap at a preset rate within a specified period of time, with the writer of the contract. The writer receives premiums and bears the risk of unfavorable changes in the preset rate on the underlying interest rate swap. Swaption contracts written by the Fund do not give rise to counterparty credit risk as they obligate the Fund, not its counterparty, to perform. Swaptions written are reported as a liability in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

  As of September 30, 2003, the Fund had entered into the following swaption contracts:

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. Illiquid or Restricted Securities

  As of September 30, 2003, investments in securities included issues that are illiquid or restricted. Restricted securities are often purchased in private placement transactions, are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, may have contractual restrictions on resale, and are valued under methods approved by the Board of Trustees as reflecting fair value. A security may also be considered illiquid if it lacks a readily available market or if its valuation has not changed for a certain period of time. The Fund intends to invest no more than 10% of its net assets (determined at the time of purchase and reviewed periodically) in illiquid or restricted securities. Certain restricted securities, eligible for resale to qualified institutional investors, are not subject to that limitation. The aggregate value of illiquid or restricted securities subject to this limitation as of September 30, 2003 was $21,714,353, which represents 3.30% of the Fund’s net assets, of which $56,910 is considered restricted. Information concerning restricted securities is as follows:

Borrowing and Lending Arrangements

  The Fund entered into an “interfund borrowing and lending arrangement” with other funds in the Oppenheimer funds complex, to allow funds to borrow for liquidity purposes. The arrangement was initiated pursuant to exemptive relief granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission to allow these affiliated funds to lend money to, and borrow money from, each other, in an attempt to reduce borrowing costs below those of bank loan facilities. Under the arrangement the Fund may lend money to other Oppenheimer funds and may borrow from other Oppenheimer funds at a rate set by the Fund’s Board of Trustees, based upon a recommendation by the Manager. The Fund’s borrowings, if any, are subject to asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act and the provisions of the SEC order and other applicable regulations. If the Fund borrows money, there is a risk that the loan could be called on one day’s notice, in which case the Fund might have to borrow from a bank at higher rates if a loan were not available from another Oppenheimer fund. If the Fund lends money to another fund, it will be subject to the risk that the other fund might not repay the loan in a timely manner, or at all.

  The Fund had no interfund borrowings or loans outstanding during the year ended or at September 30, 2003.

                             RATINGS DEFINITIONS
                             -------------------

Below are summaries of the rating definitions used by the
nationally-recognized rating agencies listed below. Those ratings represent
the opinion of the agency as to the credit quality of issues that they rate.
The summaries below are based upon publicly-available information provided by
the rating organizations.

Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's")

LONG-TERM (TAXABLE) BOND RATINGS

Aaa: Bonds rated "Aaa" are judged to be the best quality. They carry the
smallest degree of investment risk.  Interest payments are protected by a
large or by an exceptionally stable margin and principal is secure.  While
the various protective elements are likely to change, the changes that can be
expected are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of
such issues.

Aa: Bonds rated "Aa" are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the "Aaa" group, they comprise what are generally known as
high-grade bonds.  They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins
of protection may not be as large as with "Aaa" securities or fluctuation of
protective elements may be of greater amplitude or there may be other
elements present which make the long-term risk appear somewhat larger than
that of "Aaa" securities.

A: Bonds rated "A" possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be
considered as upper-medium grade obligations.  Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present
which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future.

Baa: Bonds rated "Baa" are considered medium-grade obligations; that is, they
are neither highly protected nor poorly secured.  Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any
great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics
and have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba: Bonds rated "Ba" are judged to have speculative elements. Their future
cannot be considered well-assured.  Often the protection of interest and
principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded
during both good and bad times over the future.  Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.

B: Bonds rated "B" generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa: Bonds rated "Caa" are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default or
there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.

Ca: Bonds rated "Ca" represent obligations which are speculative in a high
degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

C:  Bonds rated "C" are the lowest class of rated bonds and can be regarded
as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment
standing.
Moody's applies numerical modifiers 1, 2, and 3 in each generic rating
classification from "Aa" through "Caa." The modifier "1" indicates that the
obligation ranks in the higher end of its generic rating category; the
modifier "2" indicates a mid-range ranking; and the modifier "3" indicates a
ranking in the lower end of that generic rating category. Advanced refunded
issues that are secured by certain assets are identified with a # symbol.

SHORT-TERM RATINGS - TAXABLE DEBT

These ratings apply to the ability of issuers to honor senior debt
obligations having an original maturity not exceeding one year:

Prime-1: Issuer has a superior ability for repayment of senior short-term
debt obligations.

Prime-2: Issuer has a strong ability for repayment of senior short-term debt
obligations. Earnings trends and coverage ratios, while sound, may be more
subject to variation. Capitalization characteristics, while appropriate, may
be more affected by external conditions. Ample alternate liquidity is
maintained.

Prime-3: Issuer has an acceptable ability for repayment of senior short-term
obligations. The effect of industry characteristics and market compositions
may be more pronounced. Variability in earnings and profitability may result
in changes in the level of debt protection measurements and may require
relatively high financial leverage. Adequate alternate liquidity is
maintained.

Not Prime: Issuer does not fall within any Prime rating category.


Standard & Poor's Ratings Services ("Standard & Poor's"), a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.

LONG-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS


AAA: Bonds rated "AAA" have the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation is
extremely strong.

AA:  Bonds rated "AA" differ from the highest rated bonds only in small
degree. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation is very strong.

A: Bonds rated "A" are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of
changes in circumstances and economic conditions than obligations in
higher-rated categories. However, the obligor's capacity to meet its
financial commitment on the obligation is still strong.

BBB: Bonds rated "BBB" exhibit adequate protection parameters. However,
adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead
to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.
BB, B, CCC, CC, and C
Obligations rated `BB', `B', `CCC', `CC', and `C' are regarded as having
significant speculative characteristics. `BB' indicates the least degree of
speculation and `C' the highest. While such obligations will likely have some
quality and protective characteristics, these may be outweighed by large
uncertainties or major exposures to adverse conditions.

BB: Bonds rated "BB" are less vulnerable to nonpayment than other speculative
issues. However, they face major ongoing uncertainties or exposure to adverse
business, financial, or economic conditions which could lead to the obligor's
inadequate capacity to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

B: Bonds rated "B" are more vulnerable to nonpayment than bonds rated "BB",
but the obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial commitment
on the obligation. Adverse business, financial, or economic conditions will
likely impair the obligor's capacity or willingness to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation.

CCC: Bonds rated "CCC" are currently vulnerable to nonpayment, and are
dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the
obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. In the event of
adverse business, financial, or economic conditions, the obligor is not
likely to have the capacity to meet its financial commitment on the
obligation.

CC: Bonds rated "CC" are currently highly vulnerable to nonpayment.

C: Subordinated debt or preferred stock obligations rated "C" are currently
highly vulnerable to nonpayment. The "C" rating may be used to cover a
situation where a bankruptcy petition has been filed or similar action taken,
but payments on this obligation are being continued. A "C" also will be
assigned to a preferred stock issue in arrears on dividends or sinking fund
payments, but that is currently paying.

D: Bonds rated "D" are in payment default. The "D" rating category is used
when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if the
applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's believes
that such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D" rating also
will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the taking of a
similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.

The ratings from "AA" to "CCC" may be modified by the addition of a plus (+)
or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating
categories. The "r" symbol is attached to the ratings of instruments with
significant noncredit risks.

SHORT-TERM ISSUE CREDIT RATINGS

A-1: A short-term bond rated "A-1" is rated in the highest category by
Standard & Poor's. The obligor's capacity to meet its financial commitment on
the obligation is strong. Within this category, certain obligations are
designated with a plus sign (+). This indicates that the obligor's capacity
to meet its financial commitment on these obligations is extremely strong.

A-2: A short-term bond rated "A-2" is somewhat more susceptible to the
adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions than
obligations in higher rating categories. However, the obligor's capacity to
meet its financial commitment on the obligation is satisfactory.

A-3: A short-term bond rated "A-3" exhibits adequate protection parameters.
However, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity of the obligor to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation.

B: A short-term bond rated "B" is regarded as having significant speculative
characteristics. The obligor currently has the capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation; however, it faces major ongoing uncertainties
which could lead to the obligor's inadequate capacity to meet its financial
commitment on the obligation.

C: A short-term bond rated "C" is currently vulnerable to nonpayment and is
dependent upon favorable business, financial, and economic conditions for the
obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation.

D: A short-term bond rated "D" is in payment default. The "D" rating category
is used when payments on an obligation are not made on the date due even if
the applicable grace period has not expired, unless Standard & Poor's
believes that such payments will be made during such grace period. The "D"
rating also will be used upon the filing of a bankruptcy petition or the
taking of a similar action if payments on an obligation are jeopardized.


Fitch, Inc.

INTERNATIONAL LONG-TERM CREDIT RATINGS

Investment Grade:

AAA: Highest Credit Quality. "AAA" ratings denote the lowest expectation of
credit risk. They are assigned only in the case of exceptionally strong
capacity for timely payment of financial commitments. This capacity is highly
unlikely to be adversely affected by foreseeable events.

AA: Very High Credit Quality. "AA" ratings denote a very low expectation of
credit risk. They indicate a very strong capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. This capacity is not significantly vulnerable to
foreseeable events.

A: High Credit Quality. "A" ratings denote a low expectation of credit risk.
The capacity for timely payment of financial commitments is considered
strong. This capacity may, nevertheless, be more vulnerable to changes in
circumstances or in economic conditions than is the case for higher ratings.

BBB: Good Credit Quality. "BBB" ratings indicate that there is currently a
low expectation of credit risk. The capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments is considered adequate, but adverse changes in circumstances and
in economic conditions are more likely to impair this capacity. This is the
lowest investment-grade category.

Speculative Grade:

BB: Speculative. "BB" ratings indicate that there is a possibility of credit
risk developing, particularly as the result of adverse economic change over
time. However, business or financial alternatives may be available to allow
financial commitments to be met. Securities rated in this category are not
investment grade.

B: Highly Speculative. "B" ratings indicate that significant credit risk is
present, but a limited margin of safety remains. Financial commitments are
currently being met. However, capacity for continued payment is contingent
upon a sustained, favorable business and economic environment.

CCC, CC C: High Default Risk.  Default is a real possibility. Capacity for
meeting financial commitments is solely reliant upon sustained, favorable
business or economic developments. A "CC" rating indicates that default of
some kind appears probable. "C" ratings signal imminent default.

DDD, DD, and D: Default. The ratings of obligations in this category are
based on their prospects for achieving partial or full recovery in a
reorganization or liquidation of the obligor. While expected recovery values
are highly speculative and cannot be estimated with any precision, the
following serve as general guidelines. "DDD" obligations have the highest
potential for recovery, around 90%-100% of outstanding amounts and accrued
interest. "DD" indicates potential recoveries in the range of 50%-90%, and
"D" the lowest recovery potential, i.e., below 50%.

Entities rated in this category have defaulted on some or all of their
obligations. Entities rated "DDD" have the highest prospect for resumption of
performance or continued operation with or without a formal reorganization
process. Entities rated "DD" and "D" are generally undergoing a formal
reorganization or liquidation process; those rated "DD" are likely to satisfy
a higher portion of their outstanding obligations, while entities rated "D"
have a poor prospect for repaying all obligations.

Plus (+) and minus (-) signs may be appended to a rating symbol to denote
relative status within the major rating categories.  Plus and minus signs are
not added to the "AAA" category or to categories below "CCC," nor to
short-term ratings other than "F1" (see below).

INTERNATIONAL SHORT-TERM CREDIT RATINGS

F1: Highest credit quality. Strongest capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments. May have an added "+" to denote any exceptionally
strong credit feature.

F2: Good credit quality. A satisfactory capacity for timely payment of
financial commitments, but the margin of safety is not as great as in the
case of higher ratings.

F3: Fair credit quality. Capacity for timely payment of financial commitments
is adequate. However, near-term adverse changes could result in a reduction
to non-investment grade.

B:  Speculative. Minimal capacity for timely payment of financial
commitments, plus vulnerability to near-term adverse changes in financial and
economic conditions.

C: High default risk. Default is a real possibility. Capacity for meeting
financial commitments is solely reliant upon a sustained, favorable business
and economic environment.

D: Default. Denotes actual or imminent payment default.

OppenheimerFunds Special Sales Charge Arrangements and Waivers
- --------------------------------------------------------------

In certain cases, the initial sales charge that applies to purchases of Class
A shares1 of the Oppenheimer funds or the contingent deferred sales charge
that may apply to Class A, Class B or Class C shares may be waived.2  That is
because of the economies of sales efforts realized by OppenheimerFunds
Distributor, Inc., (referred to in this document as the "Distributor"), or by
dealers or other financial institutions that offer those shares to certain
classes of investors.

Not all waivers apply to all funds. For example, waivers relating to
Retirement Plans do not apply to Oppenheimer municipal funds, because shares
of those funds are not available for purchase by or on behalf of retirement
plans. Other waivers apply only to shareholders of certain funds.

For the purposes of some of the waivers described below and in the Prospectus
and Statement of Additional Information of the applicable Oppenheimer funds,
the term "Retirement Plan" refers to the following types of plans:
         1) plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the Internal
            Revenue Code,
         2) non-qualified deferred compensation plans,
         3) employee benefit plans3
         4) Group Retirement Plans4
         5) 403(b)(7) custodial plan accounts
         6) Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"), including traditional
            IRAs, Roth IRAs, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs or SIMPLE plans

The interpretation of these provisions as to the applicability of a special
arrangement or waiver in a particular case is in the sole discretion of the
Distributor or the transfer agent (referred to in this document as the
"Transfer Agent") of the particular Oppenheimer fund. These waivers and
special arrangements may be amended or terminated at any time by a particular
fund, the Distributor, and/or OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (referred to in this
document as the "Manager").

Waivers that apply at the time shares are redeemed must be requested by the
shareholder and/or dealer in the redemption request.
I.     Applicability of Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges in Certain
                                      Cases
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Purchases of Class A Shares of Oppenheimer Funds That Are Not Subject to
Initial Sales Charge but May Be Subject to the Class A Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge (unless a waiver applies).

      There is no initial sales charge on purchases of Class A shares of any
of the Oppenheimer funds in the cases listed below. However, these purchases

            purchases, or
         2) by a direct rollover of a distribution from a qualified
            Retirement Plan if the administrator of that Plan has made
            special arrangements with the Distributor for those purchases.

            record-keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan
            must have $3 million or more of its assets invested in (a) mutual

            are referred to as "Applicable Investments").
         2) The record keeping for the Retirement Plan is performed on a
            daily valuation basis by a record keeper whose services are
            provided under a contract or arrangement between the Retirement

            record keeping service agreement with Merrill Lynch, the Plan
            must have $3 million or more of its assets (excluding assets
            invested in money market funds) invested in Applicable
            Investments.
         3) The record keeping for a Retirement Plan is handled under a
            service agreement with Merrill Lynch and on the date the plan
            sponsor signs that agreement, the Plan has 500 or more eligible

an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Quest For Value Fund or into which such
Former Quest for Value Fund merged. Those shares must have been purchased on
or after March 6, 1995, but prior to November 24, 1995:
o     redemptions following the death or disability of the shareholder(s) (as
            evidenced by a determination of total disability by the U.S.
            Social Security Administration);
o     withdrawals under an automatic withdrawal plan (but only for Class B or
            Class C shares) where the annual withdrawals do not exceed 10% of
            the initial value of the account value; adjusted annually, and
o     liquidation of a shareholder's account if the aggregate net asset value
            of shares held in the account is less than the required minimum
            account value.

      A shareholder's account will be credited with the amount of any
contingent deferred sales charge paid on the redemption of any Class A, Class
B or Class C shares of the Oppenheimer fund described in this section if the
proceeds are invested in the same Class of shares in that fund or another
Oppenheimer fund within 90 days after redemption.
V.         Special Sales Charge Arrangements for Shareholders of Certain
          Oppenheimer Funds Who Were Shareholders of Connecticut Mutual
                            Investment Accounts, Inc.
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The initial and contingent deferred sale charge rates and waivers for Class A
and Class B shares described in the respective Prospectus (or this Appendix)
of the following Oppenheimer funds (each is referred to as a "Fund" in this
section):
   Oppenheimer U. S. Government Trust,
   Oppenheimer Bond Fund,
   Oppenheimer Value Fund and
   Oppenheimer Disciplined Allocation Fund
are modified as described below for those Fund shareholders who were
shareholders of the following funds (referred to as the "Former Connecticut
Mutual Funds") on March 1, 1996, when OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the
investment adviser to the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds:
   Connecticut Mutual Liquid Account      Connecticut Mutual Total Return
   Account
   Connecticut Mutual Government Securities Account   CMIA LifeSpan Capital
   Appreciation Account
   Connecticut Mutual Income Account      CMIA LifeSpan Balanced Account
   Connecticut Mutual Growth Account      CMIA Diversified Income Account

A. Prior Class A CDSC and Class A Sales Charge Waivers.

|X|   Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charge. Certain shareholders of a
Fund and the other Former Connecticut Mutual Funds are entitled to continue
to make additional purchases of Class A shares at net asset value without a
Class A initial sales charge, but subject to the Class A contingent deferred
sales charge that was in effect prior to March 18, 1996 (the "prior Class A
CDSC"). Under the prior Class A CDSC, if any of those shares are redeemed
within one year of purchase, they will be assessed a 1% contingent deferred
sales charge on an amount equal to the current market value or the original
purchase price of the shares sold, whichever is smaller (in such redemptions,
any shares not subject to the prior Class A CDSC will be redeemed first).







      Those shareholders who are eligible for the prior Class A CDSC are:
         1) persons whose purchases of Class A shares of a Fund and other
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds were $500,000 prior to March 18,
            1996, as a result of direct purchases or purchases pursuant to
            the Fund's policies on Combined Purchases or Rights of
            Accumulation, who still hold those shares in that Fund or other
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds, and
         2) persons whose intended purchases under a Statement of Intention
            entered into prior to March 18, 1996, with the former general
            distributor of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds to purchase
            shares valued at $500,000 or more over a 13-month period entitled
            those persons to purchase shares at net asset value without being
            subject to the Class A initial sales charge

      Any of the Class A shares of a Fund and the other Former Connecticut
Mutual Funds that were purchased at net asset value prior to March 18, 1996,
remain subject to the prior Class A CDSC, or if any additional shares are
purchased by those shareholders at net asset value pursuant to this
arrangement they will be subject to the prior Class A CDSC.

|X|   Class A Sales Charge Waivers. Additional Class A shares of a Fund may
be purchased without a sales charge, by a person who was in one (or more) of
the categories below and acquired Class A shares prior to March 18, 1996, and
still holds Class A shares:
         1) any purchaser, provided the total initial amount invested in the
            Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds
            totaled $500,000 or more, including investments made pursuant to
            the Combined Purchases, Statement of Intention and Rights of
            Accumulation features available at the time of the initial
            purchase and such investment is still held in one or more of the
            Former Connecticut Mutual Funds or a Fund into which such Fund
            merged;
         2) any participant in a qualified plan, provided that the total
            initial amount invested by the plan in the Fund or any one or
            more of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds totaled $500,000 or
            more;
         3) Directors of the Fund or any one or more of the Former
            Connecticut Mutual Funds and members of their immediate families;
         4) employee benefit plans sponsored by Connecticut Mutual Financial
            Services, L.L.C. ("CMFS"), the prior distributor of the Former
            Connecticut Mutual Funds, and its affiliated companies;
         5) one or more members of a group of at least 1,000 persons (and
            persons who are retirees from such group) engaged in a common
            business, profession, civic or charitable endeavor or other
            activity, and the spouses and minor dependent children of such
            persons, pursuant to a marketing program between CMFS and such
            group; and
         6) an institution acting as a fiduciary on behalf of an individual
            or individuals, if such institution was directly compensated by
            the individual(s) for recommending the purchase of the shares of
            the Fund or any one or more of the Former Connecticut Mutual
            Funds, provided the institution had an agreement with CMFS.

      Purchases of Class A shares made pursuant to (1) and (2) above may be
subject to the Class A CDSC of the Former Connecticut Mutual Funds described
above.

      Additionally, Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased without a sales
charge by any holder of a variable annuity contract issued in New York State
by Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company through the Panorama Separate
Account which is beyond the applicable surrender charge period and which was
used to fund a qualified plan, if that holder exchanges the variable annuity
contract proceeds to buy Class A shares of the Fund.

B. Class A and Class B Contingent Deferred Sales Charge Waivers.

In addition to the waivers set forth in the Prospectus and in this Appendix,
above, the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for redemptions of
Class A and Class B shares of a Fund and exchanges of Class A or Class B
shares of a Fund into Class A or Class B shares of a Former Connecticut
Mutual Fund provided that the Class A or Class B shares of the Fund to be
redeemed or exchanged were (i) acquired prior to March 18, 1996 or (ii) were
acquired by exchange from an Oppenheimer fund that was a Former Connecticut
Mutual Fund. Additionally, the shares of such Former Connecticut Mutual Fund
must have been purchased prior to March 18, 1996:
   1) by the estate of a deceased shareholder;
   2) upon the disability of a shareholder, as defined in Section 72(m)(7) of
      the Internal Revenue Code;
   3) for retirement distributions (or loans) to participants or
      beneficiaries from retirement plans qualified under Sections 401(a) or
      403(b)(7)of the Code, or from IRAs, deferred compensation plans created
      under Section 457 of the Code, or other employee benefit plans;
4)    as tax-free returns of excess contributions to such retirement or
      employee benefit plans;
   5) in whole or in part, in connection with shares sold to any state,
      county, or city, or any instrumentality, department, authority, or
      agency thereof, that is prohibited by applicable investment laws from
      paying a sales charge or concession in connection with the purchase of
      shares of any registered investment management company;
   6) in connection with the redemption of shares of the Fund due to a
      combination with another investment company by virtue of a merger,

      Withdrawal Plan but limited to no more than 12% of the original value
      annually; or
   9) as involuntary redemptions of shares by operation of law, or under
      procedures set forth in the Fund's Articles of Incorporation, or as
      adopted by the Board of Directors of the Fund.
VI.       Special Reduced Sales Charge for Former Shareholders of Advance
                                America Funds, Inc.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shareholders of Oppenheimer Municipal Bond Fund, Oppenheimer U.S. Government
Trust, Oppenheimer Strategic Income Fund and Oppenheimer Capital Income Fund
who acquired (and still hold) shares of those funds as a result of the
reorganization of series of Advance America Funds, Inc. into those
Oppenheimer funds on October 18, 1991, and who held shares of Advance America

Oppenheimer funds at a maximum sales charge rate of 4.50%.

1 In accordance with Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act, the term
"Independent Trustees" in this Statement of Additional Information refers to
those Trustees who are not "interested persons" of the Fund and who do not
have any direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of the
distribution plan or any agreement under the plan.

1 Certain waivers also apply to Class M shares of Oppenheimer Convertible
Securities Fund.
2 In the case of Oppenheimer Senior Floating Rate Fund, a
continuously-offered closed-end fund, references to contingent deferred sales
charges mean the Fund's Early Withdrawal Charges and references to
"redemptions" mean "repurchases" of shares.
3 An "employee benefit plan" means any plan or arrangement, whether or not it
is "qualified" under the Internal Revenue Code, under which Class N shares of
an Oppenheimer fund or funds are purchased by a fiduciary or other
administrator for the account of participants who are employees of a single
employer or of affiliated employers. These may include, for example, medical
savings accounts, payroll deduction plans or similar plans. The fund accounts
must be registered in the name of the fiduciary or administrator purchasing
the shares for the benefit of participants in the plan.
4 The term "Group Retirement Plan" means any qualified or non-qualified
retirement plan for employees of a corporation or sole proprietorship,
members and employees of a partnership or association or other organized
group of persons (the members of which may include other groups), if the
group has made special arrangements with the Distributor and all members of
the group participating in (or who are eligible to participate in) the plan
purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or funds through a single investment
dealer, broker or other financial institution designated by the group. Such
plans include 457 plans, SEP-IRAs, SARSEPs, SIMPLE plans and 403(b) plans
other than plans for public school employees. The term "Group Retirement
Plan" also includes qualified retirement plans and non-qualified deferred
compensation plans and IRAs that purchase shares of an Oppenheimer fund or
funds through a single investment dealer, broker or other financial
institution that has made special arrangements with the Distributor.
5 However, that concession will not be paid on purchases of shares in amounts
of $1 million or more (including any right of accumulation) by a Retirement
Plan that pays for the purchase with the redemption proceeds of Class C
shares of one or more Oppenheimer funds held by the Plan for more than one
year.
6 This provision does not apply to IRAs.
7 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the
participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.
8 The distribution must be requested prior to Plan termination or the
elimination of the Oppenheimer funds as an investment option under the Plan.
9 This provision does not apply to IRAs.
10 This provision does not apply to loans from 403(b)(7) custodial plans and
loans from the OppenheimerFunds-sponsored Single K retirement plan.
11 This provision does not apply to 403(b)(7) custodial plans if the
participant is less than age 55, nor to IRAs.

Item 24. - Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Fund
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------

None.

Item 25. - Indemnification
- --------------------------

Reference is made to the provisions of Article Seven of Registrant's Amended
and Restated Declaration of Trust filed as Exhibit 23(a) to this Registration
Statement, and incorporated herein by reference.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling
person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person,
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.

Item 26. - Business and Other Connections of the Investment Adviser
- -------------------------------------------------------------------

(a)   OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is the investment adviser of the Registrant; it
and certain subsidiaries and affiliates act in the same capacity to other
investment companies, including without limitation those described in Parts A
and B hereof and listed in Item 26(b) below.

(b)   There is set forth below information as to any other business,
profession, vocation or employment of a substantial nature in which each
officer and director of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. is, or at any time during the
past two fiscal years has been, engaged for his/her own account or in the

                                       ARTICLE I

                                     SHAREHOLDERS

      Section 1. Place of Meeting.  All  meetings of the  Shareholders  (which
                 -----------------
terms as used  herein  shall,  together  with all other  terms  defined in the
Declaration  of Trust,  have the same meaning as in the  Declaration of Trust)
shall be held at the  principal  office of the Trust or at such other place as
may from time to time be  designated  by the Board of  Trustees  and stated in
the notice of meeting.

      Section 2.  Shareholder  Meetings.  Meetings of the Shareholders for any
                  ----------------------
purpose or purposes  may be called by the  Chairman of the Board of  Trustees,
if any, or by the  President  or by the Board of Trustees  and shall be called
by  the  Secretary   upon  receipt  of  the  request  in  writing   signed  by
Shareholders  holding  not less than one third of the entire  number of Shares
issued and  outstanding  and  entitled to vote  thereat.  Such  request  shall
state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting.  In addition,  meetings
of the  Shareholders  shall be called by the Board of Trustees upon receipt of
the  request in  writing  signed by  Shareholders  that hold not less than ten
percent of the entire number of Shares issued and  outstanding and entitled to
vote thereat,  stating that the purpose of the proposed meeting is the removal
of a Trustee.

      Section  3.  Notice of  Meetings  of  Shareholders.  Written  or printed
                   --------------------------------------
notice of every  meeting of  Shareholders,  stating the time and place thereof
(and the  general  nature of the  business  proposed to be  transacted  at any
special  or  extraordinary  meeting),  shall  be  given  to  each  Shareholder
entitled to vote at such meeting by leaving the same with each  Shareholder at
the  Shareholder's  residence  or usual  place of  business  or by mailing it,
postage prepaid and addressed to the Shareholder's  address as it appears upon
the books of the Trust.  In lieu  thereof,  such notice also may be  delivered
by  such  other  means,  for  example  electronic  delivery,   to  the  extent
consistent with applicable laws.

      No notice of the time,  place or purpose of any meeting of  Shareholders
need be given to any  Shareholder  who attends in person or by proxy or to any
Shareholder  who,  in  writing  executed  and filed  with the  records  of the
meeting, either before or after the holding thereof, waives such notice.

      Section 4. Record  Dates.  The Board of Trustees may fix, in advance,  a
                 --------------
record date for the  determination  of Shareholders  entitled to notice of and
to vote at any meeting of Shareholders  and  Shareholders  entitled to receive
any  dividend  payment  or  allotment  of  rights,  as the case  may be.  Only
Shareholders  of record on such date and entitled to receive such dividends or
rights  shall be  entitled  to  notice  of and to vote at such  meeting  or to
receive such dividends or rights, as the case may be.










      Section 5.  Access to  Shareholder  List.  The Board of  Trustees  shall
                  ----------------------------
make  available  a list of the  names and  addresses  of all  shareholders  as
recorded  on the books of the Trust,  upon  receipt of the  request in writing
signed  by not less than ten  Shareholders  (who have been such for at least 6
months)  holding  Shares of the Trust  valued at  $25,000  or more at  current
offering  price (as  defined in the  Trust's  Prospectus)  or holding not less
than one percent in amount of the entire  number of shares of the Trust issued
and  outstanding;  such  request  must  state that such  Shareholders  wish to
communicate with other  Shareholders with a view to obtaining  signatures to a
request for a meeting to remove one or more trustees  pursuant to Section 2 of
Article I and Section 2 of Article II of these By-Laws and be  accompanied  by
a form of  communication  to the  Shareholders.  The Board of Trustees may, in
its  discretion,  satisfy its  obligation  under this Section 5 by either,  as
required by Section 16(c) of the Investment  Company Act, making available the
Shareholder List to such  Shareholders at the principal  offices of the Trust,
or at the offices of the  Trust's  transfer  agent,  during  regular  business
hours, or by mailing a copy of such Shareholders'  proposed  communication and
form   of   request,   at   their   expense,   to  all   other   Shareholders.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,  the Board of Trustees may also take such other
action as may be permitted under Section 16(c) of the Investment Company Act.

      Section 6. Quorum,  Adjournment  of Meetings.  The presence in person or
                 ----------------------------------
by proxy of the holders of record of more than one-third of the Shares,  or of
the shares of any Series or Class,  of the Trust  issued and  outstanding  and
entitled to vote  thereat,  shall  constitute a quorum,  respectively,  at all
meetings  of the  Shareholders;  provided,  however,  that if any action to be
taken by the  Shareholders  or by a Series or Class at a meeting  requires  an
affirmative  vote  of a  majority,  or more  than a  majority,  of the  shares
outstanding  and  entitled to vote,  then in such event the presence in person
or by proxy  of the  holders  of a  majority  of the  shares  outstanding  and
entitled  to  vote  at  such a  meeting  shall  constitute  a  quorum  for all
purposes.  At a meeting at which a quorum is present,  a vote of a majority of
the quorum shall be  sufficient  to transact  all business at the meeting.  If
at any meeting of the Shareholders  there shall be less than a quorum present,
the  Shareholders  or Trustees  present at such meeting may,  without  further
notice,  adjourn the same from time to time until a quorum shall  attend,  but
no business shall be transacted at any such  adjourned  meeting except such as
might have been lawfully transacted had the meeting not been adjourned.

      If a quorum  is  present  but  sufficient  votes in favor of one or more
proposals  have not been  received,  any of the  persons  named as  proxies or
attorneys-in-fact  may propose and  approve  one or more  adjournments  of the
meeting  to  permit  further  solicitation  of  proxies  with  respect  to any
proposal.  All  such  adjournments  will  require  the  affirmative  vote of a
majority  of the shares  present  in person or by proxy at the  session of the
meeting to be adjourned.  Prior to any such  adjournment,  any lawful business
may be transacted.

      Section 7.  Voting and  Inspectors.  At all  meetings  of  Shareholders,
                  -----------------------
each  Shareholder  shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a
vote of the  Shareholders  of the  affected  Series  or Class  for each  Share
standing  in his  name  on the  books  of the  Trust  on the  date  fixed  for
determination  of  Shareholders  of the affected  Series or Class  entitled to
vote at such meeting (except, if the Board so determines,  for Shares redeemed
prior to the meeting),  and each such Series shall vote as an individual class
("Individual Class Voting");  a Series or Class shall be deemed to be affected
when a vote of the  holders of that Series or Class on a matter is required by
the Investment Company Act of 1940; provided,  however,  that as to any matter
with  respect to which a vote of  Shareholders  is required by the  Investment
Company Act of 1940 or by any applicable law that must be complied with,  such
requirements  as to a vote by  Shareholders  shall apply in lieu of Individual
Class  Voting  as  described   above.   Any   fractional   Share  shall  carry
proportionately  all the rights of a whole Share,  including the right to vote
and the right to receive  dividends.  At all meetings of  shareholders,  every
shareholder  of record  entitled to vote at such meeting  shall be entitled to
vote at such meeting either in person or by proxy.  Proxies may be given by or
on behalf of a  Shareholder  in writing or by electronic  means,  including by
telephone, facsimile or via the Internet.

      All elections of Trustees  shall be had by a plurality of the votes cast
and all  questions  shall be decided by a majority of the votes cast,  in each
case at a duly  constituted  meeting,  except  as  otherwise  provided  in the
Declaration  of Trust or in these By-Laws or by specific  statutory  provision
superseding the restrictions  and limitations  contained in the Declaration of
Trust or in these By-Laws.

      At any election of Trustees,  the Board of Trustees  prior  thereto may,
or, if they have not so acted,  the  Chairman of the meeting may, and upon the
request of the holders of ten percent (10%) of the Shares  entitled to vote at
such  election  shall,  appoint two  inspectors  of  election  who shall first
subscribe  an  oath  or  affirmation  to  execute  faithfully  the  duties  of
inspectors  at such  election  with strict  impartiality  and according to the
best of their ability,  and shall after the election make a certificate of the
result of the vote  taken.  No  candidate  for the office of Trustee  shall be
appointed such Inspector.

      The  Chairman of the meeting may cause a vote by ballot to be taken upon
any  election or matter,  and such vote shall be taken upon the request of the
holders of ten percent  (10%) of the Shares  entitled to vote on such election
or matter.

      Section 8.  Conduct  of  Shareholders'  Meetings.  The  meetings  of the
                  -------------------------------------
Shareholders  shall be presided over by the Chairman of the Board of Trustees,
if any, or if he shall not be present,  by the  President,  or if he shall not
be present,  by a  Vice-President,  or if none of the Chairman of the Board of
Trustees,  the President or any Vice-President is present, by a chairman to be
elected at the meeting.  The Secretary of the Trust, if present,  shall act as
Secretary of such meetings,  or if he is not present,  an Assistant  Secretary
shall so act,  or if neither  the  Secretary  nor an  Assistant  Secretary  is
present, than the meeting shall elect its secretary.

      Section 9.  Concerning  Validity  of  Proxies,  Ballots,  Etc.  At every
                  --------------------------------------------------
meeting  of the  Shareholders,  all  proxies  shall be  received  and taken in
charge of and all ballots  shall be received and canvassed by the secretary of
the meeting,  who shall decide all  questions  touching the  qualification  of
voters,  the  validity of the  proxies,  and the  acceptance  or  rejection of
votes,  unless inspectors of election shall have been appointed as provided in
Section 7, in which event such  inspectors  of election  shall decide all such
questions.

                                      ARTICLE II

                                   BOARD OF TRUSTEES

      Section 1.  Number and Tenure of Office.  The  business  and  affairs of
                  ----------------------------
the Trust shall be conducted and managed by a Board of Trustees  consisting of
the number of initial Trustees,  which number may be increased or decreased as
provided  in  Section  2 of  this  Article.  Each  Trustee  shall,  except  as
otherwise provided herein,  hold office until the next meeting of Shareholders
of the Trust  following  his  election  called  for the  purpose  of  electing
Trustees or until his successor is duly elected and  qualifies.  Trustees need
not be Shareholders.

      Section 2.  Increase  or Decrease in Number of  Trustees;  Removal.  The
                  -------------------------------------------------------
Board  of  Trustees,  by the  vote of a  majority  of the  entire  Board,  may
increase  the number of Trustees to a number not  exceeding  fifteen,  and may
elect  Trustees  to fill the  vacancies  created by any such  increase  in the
number of Trustees  until the next meeting  called for the purpose of electing
Trustees or until their successors are duly elected and qualify;  the Board of
Trustees,  by the  vote  of a  majority  of the  entire  Board,  may  likewise
decrease  the  number of  Trustees  to a number  not less  than  three but the
tenure of office of any Trustee  shall not be  affected by any such  decrease.
Vacancies  occurring other than by reason of any such increase shall be filled
by a vote of a majority of the entire  Board then  sitting.  In the event that
after the proxy  material  has been printed for a meeting of  Shareholders  at
which  Trustees are to be elected and any one or more  nominees  named in such
proxy  material  should  die,  become  incapacitated  or  fail  to  stand  for
election,  the authorized number of Trustees shall be automatically reduced by
the  number  of such  nominees,  unless  the  Board of  Trustees  prior to the
meeting shall otherwise determine.

      A Trustee at any time may be  removed  either  with or without  cause by
resolution  duly adopted by the  affirmative  votes of the holders of not less
than two-thirds of the outstanding  Shares of the Trust,  present in person or
by proxy at any  meeting  of  Shareholders  at which  such  vote may be taken,
provided  that a quorum is  present.  Any  Trustee  at any time may be removed
for cause by  resolution  duly adopted at any meeting of the Board of Trustees
provided  that notice  thereof is  contained in the notice of such meeting and
that such  resolution  is  adopted  by the vote of at least two  thirds of the
Trustees  whose  removal is not  proposed.  As used herein,  "for cause" shall
mean any cause which  under  Massachusetts  law would  permit the removal of a
Trustee of a business trust.

      Section 3.  Place of  Meeting.  The  Trustees  may hold their  meetings,
                  ------------------
have  one  or  more  offices,   and  keep  the  books  of  the  Trust  outside
Massachusetts,  at any office or offices of the Trust or at any other place as
they  may  from  time to time by  resolution  determine,  or,  in the  case of
meetings,  as they may from time to time by  resolution  determine or as shall
be specified or fixed in the respective notices or waivers of notice thereof.

      Section  4.  Regular   Meetings.   Regular  meetings  of  the  Board  of
                   -------------------
Trustees  shall  be held at such  time  and on  such  notice,  if any,  as the
Trustees may from time to time determine.

      Section  5.  Special   Meetings.   Special  meetings  of  the  Board  of
                   -------------------
Trustees  may be held from time to time upon call of the Chairman of the Board
of Trustees,  if any, the President or two or more of the  Trustees,  by oral,
telegraphic  or  written  notice  duly  served  on or sent or  mailed  to each
Trustee not less than one day before such meeting.  No notice need be given to
any Trustee  who  attends in person or to any Trustee who in writing  executed
and filed with the records of the meeting  either  before or after the holding
thereof,  waives such  notice.  Such notice or waiver of notice need not state
the purpose or purposes of such meeting.

      Section 6.  Quorum.  A majority  of the  Trustees  then in office  shall
                  -------
constitute a quorum for the  transaction  of business,  provided that a quorum
shall in no case be less than two  Trustees.  If at any  meeting  of the Board
there  shall be less than a quorum  present  (in  person or by open  telephone
line,  to the extent  permitted  by the  Investment  Company  Act of 1940 (the
"1940  Act")),  a majority of those  present may adjourn the meeting from time
to time until a quorum  shall have been  obtained.  The act of the majority of
the  Trustees  present at any meeting at which there is a quorum  shall be the
act  of  the  Board,  except  as may be  otherwise  specifically  provided  by
statute, by the Declaration of Trust or by these By-Laws.

      If a quorum  is  present  but  sufficient  votes in favor of one or more
proposals  have not been  received,  any of the  persons  named as  proxies or
attorneys-in-fact  may propose and  approve  one or more  adjournments  of the
meeting  to  permit  further  solicitation  of  proxies  with  respect  to any
proposal.  All  such  adjournments  will  require  the  affirmative  vote of a
majority  of the shares  present  in person or by proxy at the  session of the
meeting to be adjourned.  Prior to any such  adjournment,  any lawful business
may be transacted.

      Section  7.  Executive  Committee.  The Board of  Trustees  may,  by the
                   ---------------------
affirmative  vote of a majority of the entire  Board,  elect from the Trustees
an  Executive  Committee  to consist of such number of Trustees  (but not less
than two) as the Board may from time to time determine.  The Board of Trustees
by such  affirmative  vote shall have power at any time to change the  members
of such  Committee  and may fill  vacancies in the  Committee by election from
the  Trustees.  When the Board of Trustees is not in  session,  the  Executive
Committee  shall have and may  exercise  any or all of the powers of the Board
of  Trustees  in the  management  of the  business  and  affairs  of the Trust
(including  the power to authorize  the seal of the Trust to be affixed to all
papers  which may  require  it) except as provided by law and except the power
to increase  or decrease  the size of, or fill  vacancies  on, the Board.  The
Executive  Committee  may fix its own rules of procedure,  and may meet,  when
and as provided by such rules or by resolution  of the Board of Trustees,  but
in every case the presence of a majority  shall be  necessary to  constitute a
quorum. In the absence of any member of the Executive  Committee,  the members
thereof  present at any meeting,  whether or not they  constitute a quorum may
appoint a member of the Board of  Trustees  to act in the place of such absent
member.

      Section 8. Other Committees.  The Board of Trustees,  by the affirmative
                 -----------------
vote of a majority of the entire  Board,  may appoint other  committees  which
shall in each case  consist  of such  number of members of the Board (not less
than  two) and  shall  have and may  exercise  such  powers  as the  Board may
determine  in the  resolution  appointing  them.  A majority of all members of
any such  committee may  determine  its action,  and fix the time and place of
its  meetings,  unless the Board of  Trustees  shall  otherwise  provide.  The
Board of  Trustees  shall  have power at any time to change  the  members  and
powers of any such  committee,  to fill  vacancies,  and to discharge any such
committee.

      Section 9. Informal  Action by and  Telephone  Meetings of Trustees and
                 -------------------------------------------------------------
Committees.  Any action  required or  permitted  to be taken at any meeting of
- -----------
the  Board  of  Trustees  or any  committee  thereof  may be taken  without  a
meeting,  if a written  consent to such action is signed by all members of the
Board,  or of such  committee,  as the case may be.  Trustees  or members of a
committee of the Board of Trustees may  participate in a meeting by means of a
conference telephone or similar communications  equipment;  such participation
shall,  except as otherwise  required by the 1940 Act, have the same effect as
presence in person.

      Section 10.  Compensation  of Trustees and Committee  Members.  Trustees
                   -------------------------------------------------
and  members of the  Committees  appointed  by the Board  shall be entitled to
receive such  compensation  from the Trust for their services as may from time
to time be voted by the Board of Trustees.

      Section  11.  Dividends.  Dividends  or  distributions  payable  on  the
                    ----------
Shares of any Series or Class of the Trust may,  but need not be,  declared by
specific resolution of the Board as to each dividend or distribution;  in lieu
of such specific resolutions, the Board may, by general resolution,  determine
the method of computation  thereof, the method of determining the Shareholders
of the  Series  or  Class  to  which  they  are  payable  and the  methods  of
determining  whether and to which  Shareholders they are to be paid in cash or
in additional Shares.

      Section   12.   Indemnification.   Before   an   indemnitee   shall   be
                      ----------------
indemnified  by the Trust,  there  shall be a  reasonable  determination  upon
review  of the  facts  that the  person to be  indemnified  was not  liable by
reason of  disabling  conduct  as defined in the  Declaration  of Trust.  Such
determination  may be made  either  by vote of a  majority  of a quorum of the
Board who are  neither  "interested  persons"  of the Trust or the  investment
adviser nor parties to the  proceeding or by independent  legal  counsel.  The
Trust  may  advance  attorneys'  fees  and  expenses  incurred  in  a  covered
proceeding  to the  indemnitee  if the  indemnitee  undertakes  to  repay  the
advance unless it is determined that he is entitled to  indemnification  under
the Declaration of Trust.  Also at least one of the following  conditions must
be satisfied:  (1) the indemnitee  provides  security for his undertaking,  or
(2) the Trust is insured against losses arising by reason of lawful  advances,
or (3) a majority of the disinterested  nonparty Trustees or independent legal
counsel in a written opinion shall determine,  based upon review of all of the
facts,  that there is reason to believe that the indemnitee will ultimately be
found entitled to indemnification.

                                      ARTICLE III

                                       OFFICERS

      Section 1.  Executive  Officers.  The  executive  officers  of the Trust
                  --------------------
shall  include a Chairman of the Board of Trustees,  a President,  one or more
Vice-Presidents  (the  number  thereof  to  be  determined  by  the  Board  of
Trustees),  a Secretary  and a  Treasurer.  The  Chairman of the Board and the
President  shall be selected  from among the  Trustees.  The Board of Trustees
may  also  in  its  discretion   appoint  Assistant   Secretaries,   Assistant
Treasurers,   and  other  officers,  agents  and  employees,  who  shall  have
authority and perform such duties as the Board or the Executive  Committee may
determine.  The Board of Trustees may fill any vacancy  which may occur in any
office.  Any  two  offices,   except  those  of  Chairman  of  the  Board  and
Secretary,  and President and Secretary,  may be held by the same person,  but
no officer shall  execute,  acknowledge  or verify any instrument in more than
one  capacity,  if such  instrument  is required by law or these By-Laws to be
executed, acknowledged or verified by two or more officers.

      Section  2. Term of  Office.  The term of office of all  officers  shall
                  ----------------
be until their  respective  successors  are chosen and qualify;  however,  any
officer may be removed  from  office at any time with or without  cause by the
vote of a majority of the entire Board of Trustees.

      Section 3.  Powers and  Duties.  The  officers  of the Trust  shall have
                  -------------------
such powers and duties as generally  pertain to their respective  offices,  as
well as such  powers and duties as may from time to time be  conferred  by the
Board of Trustees or the  Executive  Committee.  Unless  otherwise  ordered by
the Board of Trustees,  the Chairman of the Board shall be the Chief Executive
Officer.

                                      ARTICLE IV

                                        SHARES

      Section 1. Share  Certificates.  The Board of  Trustees  has  discretion
                 --------------------
to  determine  from time to time whether (i) all of the Shares of the Trust or
any  Series  or  Class  shall  be  issued  without  certificates,  or  (ii) if
certificates  are to be issued for any Shares,  the extent and  conditions for
such issuance, and the form(s) of such certificates.

      Section 2.  Transfer  of Shares.  Shares of any Series or Class shall be
                  --------------------
transferable  on the books of the Trust by the holder  thereof in person or by
his duly  authorized  attorney or legal  representative,  upon  surrender  and
cancellation  of  certificates,  if any, for the same number of Shares of that
Series or Class,  duly  endorsed  or  accompanied  by  proper  instruments  of
assignment and transfer,  with such proof of the authenticity of the signature
as the Trust or its agent may  reasonably  require;  in the case of shares not
represented by certificates,  the same or similar  requirements may be imposed
by the Board of Trustees.

      Section 3. Share  Ledgers.  The share  ledgers of the Trust,  containing
                 ---------------
the name and address of the  Shareholders of each Series or Class of the Trust
and the number of shares of that Series or Class,  held by them  respectively,
shall be kept at the  principal  offices of the Trust or, if the Trust employs
a transfer agent, at the offices of the transfer agent of the Trust.

      Section  4.  Lost,  Stolen  or  Destroyed  Certificates.  The  Board  of
                   -------------------------------------------
Trustees may  determine the  conditions  upon which a new  certificate  may be
issued in place of a  certificate  which is alleged to have been lost,  stolen
or  destroyed;  and  may,  in  their  discretion,  require  the  owner of such
certificate or his legal  representative  to give bond, with sufficient surety
to the  Trust  and the  transfer  agent,  if any,  to  indemnify  it and  such
transfer  agent  against any and all loss or claims  which may arise by reason
of the issue of a new  certificate in the place of the one so lost,  stolen or
destroyed.

                                       ARTICLE V

                                         SEAL

of the Board of Trustees may be altered or repealed by the Shareholders.
