FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
How has the Fund performed? Below is a discussion by OppenheimerFunds, Inc., of the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, followed by a graphical comparison of the Fund’s performance to appropriate broad-based market indices.
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. For its fiscal year ending January 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) returned —38.15% and underperformed the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 2.59%. The S&P 500 Index, by comparison, returned —38.63%. We attribute the underperformance during the reporting period to poor performance of the Fund’s largest underlying holding, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, which at period end accounted for approximately one-third of the Fund’s net assets.
The Fund’s largest holding at period end, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund’s Class Y shares, substantially underperformed the fixed-income benchmark with a return of —38.72% during the reporting period. An unprecedented and unanticipated widening of credit spreads of mortgage-backed securities over Treasury securities, which accelerated during the month of November 2008, had a negative impact on the underlying fund’s positions in total return swaps in the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) sector. Second, the historical correlation between highly rated securities and Treasuries and investor behavior in past economic crises did not occur in this one. Accordingly, amidst the difficult financial conditions, in a flight to quality, investors flocked to U.S. Treasury securities and not to highly-rated non-Treasury securities, such as the ones the underlying fund held, which also contributed to the poor performance. Third, liquidity virtually disappeared as the markets in mortgage-related instruments effectively shut down. Rather than continuing to expand their positions, traditional financial intermediaries began aggressively shrinking their balance sheets, severely limiting the ability of the underlying fund’s portfolio team to either scale back or hedge away portfolio holdings that detracted from performance, which had a negative impact. These events contributed to a significant decline in the underlying fund’s performance during the reporting period (and especially in the fourth quarter).
Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund’s performance was also hurt by credit default swaps it had entered into in various sectors (such as the financial and auto-related sectors), as well as certain investments in high-yield debt of auto-related companies and auto-financing entities. Within the challenging constraints of the limited liquidity in the market, the portfolio managers of this underlying fund moved to adjust the positions in total return swaps in the CMBS sector. Conservative Investor Fund’s second largest holding, Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund’s Class Y shares returned —6.45% and underperformed its benchmark. Similar to Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, investments in areas such as mortgage-related securities, both CMBS and mortgage-backed securities
10 | CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND
(MBS) accounted for most of the underperformance of Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund versus its benchmark.
The Fund’s third largest holding, Oppenheimer International Bond Fund’s Class Y shares, returned —7.03%. The underlying fund proved to be vulnerable to the credit and economic crises due to its longstanding emphasis on bonds and investments linked to the currencies of emerging markets, which led to its underperformance versus its benchmark. Some of the markets that previously had been most supportive of the underlying fund’s returns, such as Brazil and Russia, became some of the harder hit areas during the ensuing market turbulence. On the other hand, Mexico’s debt and currency held up relatively well due to its proactive monetary policy, and Turkey benefited from lower oil prices as commodity prices moderated over the second half of the year. Despite the benefits that derived from underweight exposure to high yield bonds, the underlying fund’s results in the sector suffered due to its security selection strategy, which emphasized MBS and corporate bonds from issuers in the financials sector. An overweight position in CMBS proved especially detrimental when these securities declined sharply in the fall amid economic concerns. As mentioned previously, the unprecedented and unanticipated widening of credit spreads of MBS over Treasury securities, which accelerated during the month of November 2008, had a negative impact on the underlying fund’s position in total return swaps in the CMBS sector. The underlying fund’s performance also was hindered by an underweight position in U.S. government securities.
The Fund had relatively small allocations, roughly 6% or smaller to several other underlying equity and fixed-income funds. Oppenheimer Value Fund’s Class Y shares returned —39.64%. The underlying fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned —41.78%. The underlying fund outperformed its index in the financials, health care, industrials, materials and information technology sectors, while underperforming in the energy, consumer discretionary, consumer staples and telecommunication services sectors. The energy sector was the area of largest underperformance versus the index, as the underlying fund was underweight some of the largest energy stocks, which had better relative performance.
Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund’s Class Y shares returned —42.03% during the reporting period. The underlying fund’s most disappointing relative returns stemmed from its holdings in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and financials sectors. Consumer stocks presented difficulties for the underlying fund as overextended consumers grappled to keep pace with rising energy, gas and food costs. Those concerns were further intensified by continued massive job layoffs. Several of the underlying fund’s largest holdings in consumer discretionary, in particular, were hard-hit, while the same story was true for several financial stocks.
11 | CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND
FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund’s Class Y shares also had a difficult reporting period, with a return of —39.22%, as compared to the S&P 500 Index’s —38.63%. Over the course of the reporting period, the underlying fund gradually began to shift its average market capitalization toward the smaller end of the spectrum. This shift helped support the underlying fund’s relative performance in the second quarter of 2008, but detracted in the third and fourth quarters as the financial crisis intensified. An overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and an emphasis on smaller stocks detracted from relative performance. Underweight exposure to the traditionally defensive health care sector also hampered results, as did a focus on managed care companies. In contrast, by summer, 2008, the underlying fund held few of the major securities at the epicenter of the financial crisis, and mitigated losses by selling its position in firms such as Lehman Brothers before it declared bankruptcy in September 2008.
In terms of global equities, the Fund had an allocation to Oppenheimer Global Fund’s Class Y shares, which returned —40.85%, somewhat better than the MSCI World Index’s return of —41.43%, but reflecting the extremely difficult period for global equity stocks. The Fund had smaller allocations, under 4.5%, to a few specialty areas, such as Oppenheimer Real Estate Fund, Oppenheimer Commodity Strategy Total Return Fund and Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund, which detracted from overall Fund performance.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each class of shares of the Fund held until January 31, 2009. Performance is measured from the inception of the Classes on April 5, 2005. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains distributions. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index and the S&P 500 Index. The Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index (formerly known as the “Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index”) is an unmanaged, broad-based index of investment grade corporate debt. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market. Index performance reflects the reinvestment of income but does not consider the effect of transaction costs, and none of the data in the graphs shows the effect of taxes. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the indices .

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended January 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads), or a $12.00 fee imposed annually on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions described in
20 | CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND
the Statement of Additional Information). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

|
Class Y | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,024.63 | | | | 0.51 | |
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding all underlying expenses, based on the 6-month period ended January 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Class A | | | 0.43 | % |
|
Class B | | | 1.32 | |
|
Class C | | | 1.27 | |
|
Class N | | | 0.82 | |
|
Class Y | | | 0.10 | |
The expense ratios reflect reduction to custodian expenses and voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager and Transfer Agent that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

a. During the Fund’s current fiscal year, a portion of the calendar year 2008 distributions it received from the Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund and Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund were determined to be tax return of capital distributions. The character of these distributions was determined in accordance with income tax regulations and is based on the calendar year, which differs from the Fund’s fiscal year. The negative amount disclosed was originally estimated as income in the Fund’s prior fiscal year and has been reclassified as a tax return of capital in the current fiscal year.
2. Non-income producing security.
Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of January 31, 2009:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. Conservative Investor Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust whose investment objective is to seek current income with a secondary objective of long-term growth of capital. The Fund is a special type of mutual fund known as a “fund of funds” because it invests in other mutual funds. The Fund normally invests in a portfolio consisting of a target weighted allocation in Class Y shares of other Oppenheimer funds. The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y 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. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares based upon the net asset value of the applicable Underlying Fund. For each Underlying Fund, the net asset value per share for a class of shares is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading by dividing the value of the Underlying Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of outstanding shares of that class on that day.
Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in
F12 | CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND
pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing assets and liabilities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those assets or liabilities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
The Fund classifies each of its investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds.
To determine their net asset values, the Underlying Funds’ assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations. In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for assets whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Underlying Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that Underlying Fund’s assets using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. The methodologies used for valuing assets are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those Underlying Funds.
The Underlying Funds’ investments are classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based on the inputs used in determining their value. Investments held by the Underlying Funds are typically classified as Level 1 or Level 2.
Fair valued assets may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Risks of Investing in the Underlying Funds. Each of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. Prior to June 1, 2008, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

1. | | As of January 31, 2009, the Fund had $1,046,694 of post-October losses available to offset future realized capital gains, if any. Such losses, if unutilized, will expire in 2018. |
|
2. | | During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
|
3. | | During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward. |
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for January 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of January 31, 2009 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active independent trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the year ended January 31, 2009, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:
| | | | |
Projected Benefit Obligations Increased | | $ | 7,716 | |
Payments Made to Retired Trustees | | | 1,501 | |
Accumulated Liability as of January 31, 2009 | | | 14,982 | |
The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s
F15 | CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND

assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend distributions received from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Upon receipt of notification from an Underlying Fund, and subsequent to the ex-dividend date, some of the dividend income originally recorded by the Fund may be reclassified as a tax return of capital by reducing the cost basis of the Underlying Fund and/or increasing the realized gain on sales of investments in the Underlying Fund.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the 1 Month LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager does not charge a management fee, but rather collects indirect management fees from investments in the Underlying Funds and the Fund’s investment in IMMF. The weighted indirect management fees collected from the Underlying Funds and the Fund’s investment in IMMF as a percent of average daily net assets of the Fund for the year ended January 31, 2009 was 0.49%.
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the year ended January 31, 2009, the Fund paid $548,146 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 annually for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.
Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s classes of shares.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the “Plan”) for Class A shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the 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 periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. The
F18 | CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND
Distributor’s aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at December 31, 2008 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $484,214, $924,305 and $831,910, respectively. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Portfolio Series:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Conservative Investor Fund, (one of the portfolios constituting the Oppenheimer Portfolio Series), including the statement of investments, as of January 31, 2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended and for the period April 5, 2005 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2006. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2009, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying funds. 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 Conservative Investor Fund as of January 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended and for the period April 5, 2005 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2009, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2008. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Capital gain distributions of $0.0785 per share were paid to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shareholders, respectively, on December 31, 2008. Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of the capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains).
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by 15.20% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. $1,250,343 of the Fund’s fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2009, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.
Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, $6,456 or 0.15% of the ordinary distributions paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend and $1,142,681 or 11.52% of the short-term capital gain distribution paid and to be paid by the Fund qualifies as a short-term capital gain dividend.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information, the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s asset allocation team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
24 | CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Rudi Schadt, Jerry Webman, Kurt Wolfgruber, Christopher Leavy and Alex Kurinets, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the experience of the portfolio managers and the investment performance of the investment companies in which the Fund may invest (the “Underlying Funds”). The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources, that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other retail front-end load and no-load mixed-asset target allocation conservative funds including fund of funds advised by other investment advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year and since inception performance were better than its peer group median.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and its affiliates and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund does not pay a direct management fee but that the Fund indirectly bears its share of the management fees of the Underlying Funds. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund, other mixed-asset target allocation conservative funds of funds and other passively managed affiliated funds of funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. The Board also noted that
25 | CONSERVATIVE INVESTOR FUND
BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited / Continued
the Manager has agreed to voluntarily limit the aggregate amount of combined direct (fund of funds level) and indirect (Underlying Fund level) expense so that as a percentage of average daily net assets they will not exceed the following annual rates: 1.25% for Class A, 2.00% for Class B, 2.00% for Class C, 1.50% for Class N and 1.00% for Class Y. The Manager may modify or terminate this undertaking at any time without notice to shareholders. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses (direct and indirect) are lower than its peer group median.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund and the Underlying Funds, and the extent to which those economies of scale would benefit the Fund’s shareholders.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates. The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund and that maintaining the financial viability of the Manager is important in order for the Manager to continue to provide significant services to the Fund and its shareholders.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement for another year. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents
This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus, annual and semiannual report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.
Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800.CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus, reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
How has the Fund performed? Below is a discussion by OppenheimerFunds, Inc., of the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, followed by a graphical comparison of the Fund’s performance to appropriate broad-based market indices.
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. For its fiscal year ending January 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) returned - -40.17% and underperformed its equity benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned -38.63%, as well as its fixed-income benchmark, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 2.59%. We attribute the underperformance during the reporting period to poor performance of the Fund’s largest underlying holding, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, which at period end accounted for approximately one-fifth of the Fund’s net assets, as well as a difficult period for several of the Fund’s underlying equity funds.
The Fund’s largest holding at period end, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund’s Class Y shares, substantially underperformed the fixed-income benchmark with a return of -38.72%. An unprecedented and unanticipated widening of credit spreads of mortgage-backed securities over Treasury securities, which accelerated during the month of November 2008, had a negative impact on the underlying fund’s positions in total return swaps in the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) sector. Second, the historical correlation between highly rated securities and Treasuries and investor behavior in past economic crises did not occur in this one. Accordingly, amidst the difficult financial conditions, in a flight to quality, investors flocked to U.S. Treasury securities and not to highly-rated non-Treasury securities, such as the ones the underlying fund held, which also contributed to the poor performance. Third, liquidity virtually disappeared as the markets in mortgage-related instruments effectively shut down. Rather than continuing to expand their positions, traditional financial intermediaries began aggressively shrinking their balance sheets, severely limiting the ability of the underlying fund’s portfolio team to either scale back or hedge away portfolio holdings that detracted from performance, which had a negative impact. These events contributed to the significant decline in the underlying fund’s net asset value during the period (and especially in the fourth quarter).
The underlying fund’s performance was also hurt by credit default swaps it had entered into in various sectors (such as the financial and auto-related sectors), as well as certain investments in high-yield debt of auto-related companies and auto-financing entities. Within the challenging constraints of the limited liquidity in the market, the portfolio managers of Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund moved to adjust the positions in total return swaps in the CMBS sector and to seek liquidity to position the fund to deal with the effect of ongoing volatility. The Fund’s second largest holding, Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund’s Class Y shares returned -6.45% and underperformed its benchmark. Nevertheless, the
10 | MODERATE INVESTOR FUND
underlying fund helped relative Fund performance. Similar to Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, investments in areas such as mortgage-related securities, both CMBS and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) accounted for most of the underperformance of Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund versus its benchmark.
The Fund’s third largest holding, Oppenheimer Main Street Fund’s Class Y shares, also had a difficult reporting period, with a return of -39.22%, as compared to the S&P 500 Index’s -38.63%. Over the course of the reporting period, the underlying fund gradually began to shift its average market capitalization toward the smaller end of the spectrum. This shift helped support the underlying fund’s relative performance in the second quarter of the year, but detracted in the third and fourth quarters as the financial crisis intensified. An overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and an emphasis on smaller stocks detracted from relative performance. Underweight exposure to the traditionally defensive health care sector also hampered results, as did a focus on managed care companies. In contrast, by summer, 2008, the underlying fund held few of the major securities at the epicenter of the financial crisis, and mitigated losses by selling its position in firms such as Lehman Brothers before it declared bankruptcy in September 2008.
The Fund’s next largest holding, Oppenheimer Value Fund’s Class Y shares, returned -39.64% during the reporting period. The underlying fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned -41.78%. The underlying fund outperformed its index in the financials, health care, industrials, materials and information technology sectors, while underperforming in the energy, consumer discretionary, consumer staples and telecommunication services sectors. The energy sector was the area of largest underperformance versus the index, as the underlying fund was underweight some of the largest energy stocks, which had better relative performance.
In terms of global equities, the Fund had an approximately 10% allocation to Oppenheimer Global Fund’s Class Y shares, which returned - -40.85% during the reporting period, somewhat better than the MSCI World Index’s return of -41.43%, but reflecting the extremely difficult period for global equity stocks. Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund’s Class Y shares, which also accounted for approximately 10% of the Fund’s net assets, returned - -42.03% during the reporting period. The underlying fund’s most disappointing relative returns stemmed from its holdings in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and financials sectors. Consumer stocks presented difficulties for the underlying fund as overextended consumers grappled to keep pace with rising energy, gas and food costs. Those concerns were further intensified by continued massive job layoffs. Several of the underlying fund’s largest holdings in consumer discretionary, in particular, were hard-hit.
11 | MODERATE INVESTOR FUND
FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Oppenheimer International Bond Fund’s Class Y shares returned -7.03% during the reporting period. Some of the emerging markets that previously had been most supportive of the underlying fund’s returns, such as Brazil and Russia, became some of the harder hit areas during the ensuing market turbulence. On the other hand, Mexico’s debt and currency held up relatively well due to its proactive monetary policy, and Turkey benefited from lower oil prices as commodity prices moderated over the second half of the year. An overweight position in CMBS proved especially detrimental when these securities declined sharply in the fall amid economic concerns. As mentioned previously, the unprecedented and unanticipated widening of credit spreads of MBS over Treasury securities, which accelerated during the month of November 2008, had a negative impact on the underlying fund’s position in total return swaps in the CMBS sector. The underlying fund’s performance also was hindered by an underweight position in U.S. government securities.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each class of shares of the Fund held until January 31, 2009. Performance is measured from the inception of the Classes on April 5, 2005. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains distributions. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market. The Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index (formerly known as the “Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index”) is an unmanaged broad-based index of investment grade corporate debt. Index performance reflects the reinvestment of income but does not consider the effect of transaction costs, and none of the data in the graphs shows the effect of taxes. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended January 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads), or a $12.00 fee imposed annually on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions described
20 | MODERATE INVESTOR FUND
in the Statement of Additional Information). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class Y | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,024.68 | | | | 0.46 | |
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding all underlying fund expenses, based on the 6-month period ended January 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Class A | | | 0.47 | % |
|
Class B | | | 1.34 | |
|
Class C | | | 1.25 | |
|
Class N | | | 0.73 | |
|
Class Y | | | 0.09 | |
The expense ratios reflect reduction to custodian expenses and voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

a. | | During the Fund’s current fiscal year, a portion of the calendar year 2008 distributions it received from the Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund and Oppenheimer Limited-Term Government Fund were determined to be tax return of capital distributions. The character of these distributions was determined in accordance with income tax regulations and is based on the calendar year, which differs from the Fund’s fiscal year. The negative amount disclosed was originally estimated as income in the Fund’s prior fiscal year and has been reclassified as a tax return of capital in the current fiscal year. |

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of January 31, 2009:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. Moderate Investor Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust whose investment objective is to seek long term growth of capital and current income. The Fund is a special type of mutual fund known as a “fund of funds” because it invests in other mutual funds. The Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of Oppenheimer mututal funds (individually, an “Underlying Fund” and collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y 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. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares based upon the net asset value of the applicable Underlying Fund. For each Underlying Fund, the net asset value per share for a class of shares is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading by dividing the value of the Underlying Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of outstanding shares of that class on that day.
Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing assets and liabilities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in
F13 | MODERATE INVESTOR FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
those assets or liabilities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
The Fund classifies each of its investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds.
To determine their net asset values, the Underlying Funds’ assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations. In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for assets whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Underlying Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that Underlying Fund’s assets using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. The methodologies used for valuing assets are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those Underlying Funds.
The Underlying Funds’ investments are classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based on the inputs used in determining their value. Investments held by the Underlying Funds are typically classified as Level 1 or Level 2.
Fair valued assets may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Risks of Investing in the Underlying Funds. Each of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. Prior to June 1, 2008, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
F14 | MODERATE INVESTOR FUND
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

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 January 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of January 31, 2009 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active independent trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the year ended January 31, 2009, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:
| | | | |
Projected Benefit Obligations Increased | | $ | 19,804 | |
Payments Made to Retired Trustees | | | 4,118 | |
Accumulated Liability as of January 31, 2009 | | | 40,814 | |
The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee
F16 | MODERATE INVESTOR FUND
in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend distributions received from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Upon receipt of notification from an Underlying Fund, and subsequent to the ex-dividend date, some of the dividend income originally recorded by the Fund may be reclassified as a tax return of capital by reducing the cost basis of the Underlying Fund and/or increasing the realized gain on sales of investments in the Underlying Fund.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the 1 Month LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make
F17 | MODERATE INVESTOR FUND

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

Investment securities | | $ | 288,053,202 | | | $ | 79,729,013 | |
4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager does not charge a management fee, but rather collects indirect management fees from investments in the Underlying Funds and the Fund’s investment in IMMF. The weighted indirect management fees collected from the Underlying Funds and the Fund’s investment in IMMF, as a percent of average daily net assets of the Fund for the year ended January 31, 2009 was 0.52%.
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the year ended January 31, 2009, the Fund paid $1,363,876 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 annually for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.

Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the 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 periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75%

on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. The Distributor’s aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at December 31, 2008 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $2,151,087, $2,184,153 and $1,233,312, respectively. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) do not represent expenses of the Fund.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to a total expense limitation on the aggregate amount of combined direct (fund-of-funds level) and indirect expense so that “Total expenses” as a percentage of average daily net assets will not exceed the following annual rates: 1.30%, 2.05%, 2.05%, 1.55% and 1.05%, for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y, respectively. The Manager may modify or terminate this undertaking at any time without notice to shareholders. These expense limitations do not include extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing limits, the Manager is not required to waive or reimburse Fund expenses in excess of indirect management fees earned from investments in the Underlying Funds and IMMF to assure that expenses do not exceed those limits.
OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

5. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Portfolio Series:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Moderate Investor Fund, (one of the portfolios constituting the Oppenheimer Portfolio Series), including the statement of investments, as of January 31, 2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended and for the period April 5, 2005 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2006. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2009, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying funds. 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 Moderate Investor Fund as of January 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended and for the period April 5, 2005 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2009, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2008. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Capital gain distributions of $0.1888 per share were paid to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shareholders, respectively, on December 30, 2008. Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of the capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains).
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by 34.59% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. $ 6,102,778 of the Fund’s fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2009, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.
Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, $14,110 or 0.14% of the ordinary distributions paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend and $2,359,122 or 12.99% of the short-term capital gain distribution paid and to be paid by the Fund qualifies as a short-term capital gain dividend.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information, the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s asset allocation team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact
24 | MODERATE INVESTOR FUND
that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Rudi Schadt, Jerry Webman, Kurt Wolfgruber, Christopher Leavy and Alex Kurinets, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the experience of the portfolio managers and the investment performance of the investment companies in which the Fund may invest (the “Underlying Funds”). The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources, that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other retail front-end load and no-load mixed-asset target allocation moderate funds including fund of funds advised by other investment advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year and since inception performance were better than its peer group median.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and its affiliates and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund does not pay a direct management fee but that the Fund indirectly bears its share of the management fees of the Underlying Funds. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund, other mixed-asset target allocation moderate funds of funds and other passively managed affiliated funds of funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. The Board also noted that the Manager has agreed to voluntarily limit the aggregate amount of combined direct (fund of funds level) and indirect (Underlying Fund level) expense so that as

a percentage of average daily net assets they will not exceed the following annual rates: 1.30% for Class A, 2.05% for Class B, 2.05% for Class C, 1.55% for Class N and 1.05% for Class Y. The Manager may modify or terminate this undertaking at any time without notice to shareholders. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses (direct and indirect) are lower than its peer group median.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund and the Underlying Funds, and the extent to which those economies of scale would benefit the Fund’s shareholders.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates. The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund and that maintaining the financial viability of the Manager is important in order for the Manager to continue to provide significant services to the Fund and its shareholders.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement for another year. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents
This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus, annual and semiannual report and privacy policy.

Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.
Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800.CALL-OPP
(225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus, reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
How has the Fund performed? Below is a discussion by OppenheimerFunds, Inc., of the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, followed by a graphical comparison of the Fund’s performance to appropriate broad-based market indices.
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. For its fiscal year ending January 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) returned –41.33% and underperformed its equity benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned –38.63% as well as its fixed-income benchmark, the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index, which returned 2.59%. We attribute the Fund’s underperformance to weak performance during the reporting period of a number of the underlying funds, in what was a turbulent and difficult market for them.
The Fund’s largest holding at period end, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund’s Class Y shares, returned –42.03% during the reporting period. The underlying fund’s most disappointing returns relative to its benchmark stemmed from its holdings in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and financials sectors. Consumer stocks presented difficulties for the underlying fund as overextended consumers grappled to keep pace with rising energy, gas and food costs. Those concerns were further intensified by continued massive job layoffs. Several of the underlying fund’s largest holdings in consumer discretionary, in particular, were hard-hit. Financial stocks continued to falter in the wake of the U.S. sub-prime mortgage market debacle, the subsequent global credit crisis and stock market downturns. The underlying fund was overweight financials during the reporting period, which hurt relative results.
The Fund’s second largest holding at period end, Oppenheimer Value Fund’s Class Y shares, returned –39.64% during the reporting period. The underlying fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned –41.78%. The underlying fund outperformed its index in the financials, health care, industrials, materials and information technology sectors, while underperforming in the energy, consumer discretionary, consumer staples and telecommunication services sectors. The energy sector was the area of largest underperformance versus its benchmark, as the underlying fund was underweight some of the largest energy stocks, which had better relative performance.
The Fund’s third largest holding, Oppenheimer Main Street Fund’s Class Y shares, also had a difficult reporting period, with a return of –39.22%, as compared to the S&P 500 Index’s –38.63%. Over the course of the reporting period, the underlying fund gradually began to reduce its average market capitalization toward the smaller end of the spectrum. This shift helped support the underlying fund’s relative performance in the second quarter of the year, but detracted in the third and fourth quarters as the financial crisis intensified. An overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and an emphasis on smaller
9 | ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND
FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
stocks detracted from relative performance. Underweight exposure to the traditionally defensive health care sector also hampered results, as did a focus on managed care companies. Generally sound stock selections in the consumer staples sector could not make up for underweight exposure relative to the benchmark’s top performing sector. In contrast, by summer, 2008, the underlying fund held few of the major securities at the epicenter of the financial crisis, and mitigated losses by selling its position in firms such as Lehman Brothers before it declared bankruptcy in September 2008.
In addition to Oppenheimer Main Street Fund, the Fund also had a smaller allocation to Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund’s Class Y shares, which returned –40.82% during the reporting period, while the Russell 2000 Index returned –36.84%. The underlying fund’s lagging relative performance was mainly the result of a mild emphasis on mid-cap stocks, which generally underperformed, and overweight positions in the hard-hit consumer discretionary, information technology and materials sectors.
The Fund’s fourth largest holding, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund’s Class Y shares, substantially underperformed the fixed-income benchmark with a return of –38.72% during the reporting period. An unprecedented and unanticipated widening of credit spreads of mortgage-backed securities over Treasury securities, which accelerated during the month of November 2008, had a negative impact on the underlying fund’s positions in total return swaps in the commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) sector. Second, the historical correlation between highly rated securities and Treasuries and investor behavior in past economic crises did not occur in this one. Accordingly, amidst the difficult financial conditions, in a flight to quality, investors flocked to U.S. Treasury securities and not to highly-rated non-Treasury securities, such as the ones the underlying fund held, which also contributed to the poor performance. Third, liquidity virtually disappeared as the markets in mortgage-related instruments effectively shut down. Rather than continuing to expand their positions, traditional financial intermediaries began aggressively shrinking their balance sheets, severely limiting the ability of the underlying fund’s portfolio team to either scale back or hedge away portfolio holdings that detracted from performance, which had a negative impact. The underlying fund’s performance was also hurt by credit default swaps it had entered into in various sectors (such as the financial and auto-related sectors), as well as certain investments in high-yield debt of auto-related companies and auto-financing entities. These events contributed to the decline in the underlying fund’s performance during the period (and especially in the fourth quarter). Within the challenging constraints of the limited liquidity in the market, the portfolio managers of this underlying fund moved to adjust the positions in total return swaps in the CMBS sector.
10 | ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND
The Fund’s fifth largest holding, Oppenheimer International Growth Fund’s Class Y shares, outperformed the MSCI EAFE Index’s return of –43.74%, but returned –41.91% during the reporting period. The underlying fund was helped by relatively low weights in financial stocks and in commodity stocks. Financial stocks were at the epicenter of the stock market rout. The underlying fund has been perennially underweight in banks, finding them inherently difficult to analyze with a high level of confidence. Much of the underlying fund’s financial exposure was in specialized financial companies with what the underlying portfolio manager believed to be more straightforward business models and high barriers to entry. Unfortunately, even those got caught in the downdraft. In the commodities sector, the underlying fund did have some exposure, and the collapse of commodity prices fed through into poor stock performance. The underlying fund’s strongest performance versus its index was in information technology, where it was substantially overweight and had much better stock selection as well.
The Fund’s other major fixed-income holding, Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust’s Class Y shares returned –5.62% during the reporting period and underperformed the Barclays Capital U.S. Government Bond Index, which returned 7.03%. Similar to Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, investments in areas such as mortgage-related securities, both CMBS and mortgage-backed securities (MBS), accounted for most of the underperformance of Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust versus its benchmark.
In terms of other international equities, the Fund had an allocation to Oppenheimer Global Fund’s Class Y shares, which returned –40.85%, somewhat better than the MSCI World Index’s return of –41.43%, but reflecting the extremely difficult period for global equity stocks. The Fund had a small allocation to Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund’s Class Y shares, which returned –46.48% but outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, by over 3%.
The Fund had a number of holdings that each accounted for approximately 3% or less of the Fund. These included Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Real Estate Fund, Oppenheimer Commodity Strategy Total Return Fund, Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund, Oppenheimer MidCap Fund and Oppenheimer Small- & Mid- Cap Value Fund. These smaller allocations also produced poor results during the reporting period and did not help Fund performance.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each class of shares of the Fund held until January 31, 2009. Performance is measured from the inception of the Classes on April 5, 2005. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on
11 | ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND
FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
Class B, Class C and Class N shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains distributions. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market. The Barclays Capital Aggregate Bond Index (formerly known as the “Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index”) is an unmanaged, broad-based index of invesment grade corporate debt. Index performance reflects the reinvestment of income but does not consider the effect of transaction costs, and none of the data in the graphs shows the effect of taxes. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

An explanation of the calculation of performance is in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended January 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads), or a $12.00 fee imposed annually on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions described in the Statement of Additional Information). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of
20 | ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND
the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class Y | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,024.28 | | | | 0.87 | |
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding all underlying fund expenses, based on the 6-month period ended January 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Class A | | | 0.58 | % |
Class B | | | 1.43 | |
Class C | | | 1.34 | |
Class N | | | 0.76 | |
Class Y | | | 0.17 | |
The expense ratios reflect reduction to custodian expenses and voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

| | |
a. | | During the Fund’s current fiscal year, a portion of the calendar year 2008 distributions it received from the Class Y shares of Oppenheimer Champion Income Fund, Oppenheimer Core Bond Fund, and Oppenheimer U.S. Government Trust were determined to be tax return of capital distributions. The character of these distributions was determined in accordance with income tax regulations and is based on the calendar year, which differs from the Fund’s fiscal year. The negative amount disclosed was originally estimated as income in the Fund’s prior fiscal year and has been reclassified as a tax return of capital in the current fiscal year. |
|

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of January 31, 2009:

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. Active Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust whose investment objective is to seek long term growth of capital with a secondary objective of current income. The Fund is a special type of mutual fund known as a “fund of funds” because it invests in other mutual funds. The Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of Oppenheimer mutual funds (individually, an “Underlying Fund”and collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc.(the “Manager”).
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y 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. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares based upon the net asset value of the applicable Underlying Fund. For each Underlying Fund, the net asset value per share for a class of shares is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading by dividing the value of the Underlying Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of outstanding shares of that class on that day.
Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are classified as “Level 1”, inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3”. The inputs used for valuing assets and liabilities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in

those assets or liabilities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
The Fund classifies each of its investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds.
To determine their net asset values, the Underlying Funds’ assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations. In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for assets whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Underlying Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that Underlying Fund’s assets using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. The methodologies used for valuing assets are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those Underlying Funds.
The Underlying Funds’ investments are classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based on the inputs used in determining their value. Investments held by the Underlying Funds are typically classified as Level 1 or Level 2.
Fair valued assets may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Risks of Investing in the Underlying Funds. Each of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund.
Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.
Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes
F18 | ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND
in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. Prior to June 1, 2008, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.
Investments With Off-Balance Sheet Market Risk. The Fund enters into financial instrument transactions (such as swaps, futures, options and other derivatives) that may have off-balance sheet market risk. Off-balance sheet market risk exists when the maximum potential loss on a particular financial instrument is greater than the value of such financial instrument, as reflected in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

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 January 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active independent trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the year ended January 31, 2009, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:
| | | | |
Projected Benefit Obligations Increased | | $ | 55,452 | |
Payments Made to Retired Trustees | | | 11,935 | |
Accumulated Liability as of January 31, 2009 | | | 117,712 | |
The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
F21 | ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued
Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend distributions received from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Upon receipt of notification from an Underlying Fund, and subsequent to the ex-dividend date, some of the dividend income originally recorded by the Fund may be reclassified as a tax return of capital by reducing the cost basis of the Underlying Fund and/or increasing the realized gain on sales of investments in the Underlying Fund.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the 1 Month LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
2. 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:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager does not charge a management fee, but rather collects indirect management fees from investments in the Underlying Funds and the Fund’s investment in IMMF. The weighted indirect management fees collected from the Underlying Funds and the Fund’s investment in IMMF, as a percent of average daily net assets of the Fund for the year ended January 31, 2009 was 0.57%.
The Fund pays the Manager an asset allocation fee equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the year ended January 31, 2009, the Fund paid $3,640,789 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 annually for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.
Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s classes of shares.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the “Plan”) for Class A shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the 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 periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a
F24 | ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND
class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. The Distributor’s aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at December 31, 2008 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $7,235,747, $5,396,625 and $1,672,704, respectively. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period indicated.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has voluntarily agreed to a total expense limitation on the aggregate amount of combined direct (fund-of-funds level) and indirect expense so that “Total expenses” as a percentage of average daily net assets will not exceed the following annual rates: 1.45%, 2.20%, 2.20%, 1.70% and 1.20%, for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y, respectively. During the year ended January 31, 2009, the Manager reimbursed the Fund $8,176, $2,529, $3,635, $962 and $24 for Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shares, respectively. The Manager may modify or terminate this undertaking at any time without notice to shareholders. These expense limitations do not include extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing limits, the Manager is not required to waive or reimburse Fund expenses in excess of indirect management fees earned from investments in the Underlying Funds and IMMF to assure that expenses do not exceed those limits.
OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.
Prior to June 1, 2008, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended January 31, 2009, the Manager waived $9,025 for IMMF management fees.

5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
The Fund may enter into foreign currency exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.
Forward contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Forward contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the forward currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.
Risks to the Fund include both market and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the forward contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the exchange rates. 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 payments that the Fund has not yet received.
As of January 31, 2009, the Fund had no outstanding forward contracts.
6. Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a financial instrument at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts.
Futures contracts traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
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.
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held in collateralized accounts to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by the broker to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
Risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract

or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
7. Swap Contracts
The Fund may enter into privately negotiated agreements with a counterparty to exchange or “swap” payments at specified future intervals based on the return of an asset (such as a stock, bond or currency) or non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index). The swap agreement will specify the “notional” amount of the asset or non-asset reference to which the contract relates. As derivative contracts, swaps typically do not have an associated cost at contract inception. At initiation, contract terms are typically set at market value such that the value of the swap is $0. If a counterparty specifies terms that would result in the contract having a value other than $0 at initiation, one counterparty will pay the other an upfront payment to equalize the contract. Subsequent changes in market value are calculated based upon changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference multiplied by the notional value of the contract. Contract types may include credit default, interest rate, total return, and currency swaps.
Swaps are marked to market daily using quotations primarily from pricing services, counterparties or brokers. Swap contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. The value of the contracts is separately disclosed on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is comprised of the change in the valuation of the swap combined with the accrued interest due to (owed by) the Fund at termination or settlement. The net change in this amount during the period is included on the Statement of Operations. Any payment received or paid to initiate a contract is recorded as a cost of the swap in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and as a component of unrealized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations until contract termination; upon contract termination, this amount is recorded as realized gain or loss on the Statement of Operations. Excluding amounts paid at contract initiation as described above, the Fund also records any periodic payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, as realized gain (loss) on the Statement of Operations.
Risks of entering into swap contracts include credit, market and liquidity risk. Credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty fails to make a payment when due or otherwise defaults under the terms of the contract. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received. Market risk is the risk that the value of the contract will depreciate due to unfavorable changes in the performance of the asset or non-asset reference. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund may be unable to close the contract prior to its termination.
Credit Default Swap Contracts. A credit default swap is a bilateral contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection on a debt security against a defined-issuer credit event, such as the issuer’s failure to make timely payments of interest or principal on the debt security, bankruptcy or restructuring. The Fund may enter into credit default swaps either by buying or selling protection on a single security or a basket of securities (the “reference asset”).

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
7. Swap Contracts Continued
The buyer of protection pays a periodic fee to the seller of protection based on the notional amount of debt securities underlying the swap contract. The seller of protection agrees to compensate the buyer of protection for future potential losses as a result of a credit event on the reference asset. The contract effectively transfers the credit event risk of the reference asset from the buyer of protection to the seller of protection.
The ongoing value of the contract will fluctuate throughout the term of the contract based primarily on the credit risk of the reference asset. If the credit quality of the reference asset improves relative to the credit quality at contract initiation, the buyer of protection may have an unrealized loss greater than the anticipated periodic fee owed. This unrealized loss would be the result of current credit protection being cheaper than the cost of credit protection at contract initiation. If the buyer elects to terminate the contract prior to its maturity, and there has been no credit event, this unrealized loss will become realized. If the contract is held to maturity, and there has been no credit event, the realized loss will be equal to the periodic fee paid over the life of the contract.
If there is a credit event, the buyer of protection can exercise its rights under the contract and receive a payment from the seller of protection equal to the notional amount of the reference asset less the market value of the reference asset. Upon exercise of the contract the difference between the value of the underlying reference asset and the notional amount is recorded as realized gain (loss) and is included on the Statement of Operations.
Risks of credit default swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk. Additional risks include but are not limited to: the cost of paying for credit protection if there are no credit events or the cost of selling protection when a credit event occurs (paying the notional amount to the protection buyer); and pricing transparency when assessing the value of a credit default swap.
As of the period end, the Fund has sold credit protection through credit default swaps to gain exposure to the credit risk of individual securities and/or indexes that are either unavailable or considered to be less attractive in the bond market. The Fund has also engaged in pairs trades by purchasing protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of an issuer, and simultaneously selling protection through a credit default swap referenced to the debt of a different issuer with the intent to realize gains from the pricing differences of the two issuers who are expected to have similar market risks. Pairs trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk while hedging or offsetting the effects of overall market movements. In addition, the Fund has engaged in spread curve trades by simultaneously purchasing and selling protection through credit default swaps referenced to the same issuer but with different maturities. Spread curve trades attempt to gain exposure to credit risk on a forward basis by realizing gains on the expected differences in spreads.
Total Return Swap Contracts. A total return swap is an agreement between counterparties to exchange periodic payments based on asset or non-asset references. One cash flow is typically based on a non-asset reference (such as an interest rate or index) and the other
F28 | ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND
on the total return of a reference asset (such as a security or a basket of securities). The total return of the reference asset typically includes appreciation or depreciation on the reference asset, plus any interest or dividend payments.
Risks of total return swaps include credit, market and liquidity risk.
8. Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This standard requires enhanced disclosures about derivative and hedging activities, including qualitative disclosures about how and why the Fund uses derivative instruments, how these activities are accounted for, and their effect on the Fund’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. At this time, management is evaluating the implications of SFAS No. 161 and its impact on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Portfolio Series:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Active Allocation Fund, (one of the portfolios constituting the Oppenheimer Portfolio Series), including the statement of investments, as of January 31, 2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended and for the period April 5, 2005 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2006. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2009, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying funds. 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 Active Allocation Fund as of January 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended and for the period April 5, 2005 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2009, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2008. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Capital gain distributions of $0.3617 per share were paid to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shareholders, respectively, on December 31, 2008. Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of the capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains).
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by 61.98% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions, may be eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. In early 2009, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates. The amount will be the maximum amount allowed.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information, the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s asset allocation team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that
24 | ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND
the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Angelo Manioudakis and Arthur Steinmetz, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the experience of the portfolio managers and the investment performance of the investment companies in which the Fund may invest (the “Underlying Funds”). The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources, that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other retail front-end load and no-load mixed-asset target allocation growth funds including fund of funds advised by other investment advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year and since inception performance were better than its peer group median.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and its affiliates and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund does not pay a direct management fee but that the Fund indirectly bears its share of the management fees of the Underlying Funds. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund, other mixed-asset target allocation growth funds of funds and other passively managed affiliated funds of funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. The Board also noted that the Manager has agreed to voluntarily limit the aggregate amount of combined direct (fund of funds level) and indirect (Underlying Fund level) expense so that as a percentage of average daily net assets they will not exceed the following annual rates: 1.45% for Class A,
25 | ACTIVE ALLOCATION FUND
BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited Continued
2.20% for Class B, 2.20% for Class C, 1.70% for Class N and 1.20% for Class Y. The Manager may modify or terminate this undertaking at any time without notice to shareholders. In addition, the Portfolio pays the Manager an asset allocation fee equal to an annual rate of 0.10% of average daily net assets of the Portfolio. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses (direct and indirect) are lower than its peer group median. The Board also noted that the Manager has agreed to provide additional information regarding the allocation fee at the next Board meeting. In the event that the fund reaches $5 billion prior to that meeting, the Manager agreed to voluntarily waive a portion of the Fund’s asset allocation fee to 9bps for average net assets in excess of $5 billion.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund and the Underlying Funds, and the extent to which those economies of scale would benefit the Fund’s shareholders.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates. The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund and that maintaining the financial viability of the Manager is important in order for the Manager to continue to provide significant services to the Fund and its shareholders.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement for another year. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents
This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus, annual and semiannual report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.
Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800.CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus, reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
How has the Fund performed? Below is a discussion by OppenheimerFunds, Inc., of the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, followed by a graphical comparison of the Fund’s performance to appropriate broad-based market indices.
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. For its fiscal year ending January 31, 2009, the Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) returned –41.14% and underperformed its domestic equity benchmark, the S&P 500 Index, which returned –38.63% while performing in-line with its global equity benchmark, the MSCI World Index, which returned –41.43%. We attribute the Fund’s performance to a turbulent and difficult market for domestic and global equities and underperformance of the Fund’s second largest holding, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund.
The Fund’s second largest holding at period end, Oppenheimer Capital Appreciation Fund’s Class Y shares, returned –42.03% during the reporting period. The underlying fund’s most disappointing returns relative to its benchmark stemmed from its holdings in the consumer discretionary, consumer staples and financials sectors. Consumer stocks presented difficulties for the underlying fund as overextended consumers grappled to keep pace with rising energy, gas and food costs. Those concerns were further intensified by continued massive job layoffs. Several of the underlying fund’s largest holdings in consumer discretionary, in particular, were hard-hit. Financial stocks continued to falter in the wake of the U.S. sub-prime mortgage market debacle, the subsequent global credit crisis and stock market downturns. The underlying fund was overweight financials during the reporting period, which hurt relative results.
Oppenheimer Main Street Fund, Oppenheimer Main Street Opportunity Fund and Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund accounted for approximately 36% of the Fund’s net assets at period end. Each underperformed the S&P 500 Index during the reporting period. The largest holding of the three for the Fund, Oppenheimer Main Street Fund’s Class Y shares, had a difficult reporting period with a return of –39.22%, as compared to the S&P 500 Index’s –38.63%. Over the course of the reporting period, the underlying fund gradually began to shift its average market capitalization toward the smaller end of the spectrum. This shift helped support the underlying fund’s relative performance in the second quarter of 2008, but detracted in the third and fourth quarters as the financial crisis intensified. An overweight position in the consumer discretionary sector and an emphasis on smaller stocks detracted from relative performance. Underweight exposure to the traditionally defensive health care sector also hampered results, as did a focus on managed care companies. Generally sound stock selections in the consumer staples sector could not make up for underweight exposure to what was the benchmark’s top performing sector. In contrast, by summer, 2008, the underlying fund held few of the major securities at the
8 | EQUITY INVESTOR FUND
epicenter of the financial crisis, and mitigated losses by selling its position in firms such as Lehman Brothers before it declared bankruptcy in September 2008.
In addition to Oppenheimer Main Street Fund, the Fund had a smaller allocation to Oppenheimer Main Street Small Cap Fund’s Class Y shares, which returned –40.82% during the reporting period, while the Russell 2000 Index returned –36.84%. The underlying fund’s lagging relative performance was mainly the result of a mild emphasis on mid-cap stocks, which generally underperformed, and overweight positions in the hard-hit consumer discretionary, information technology and materials sectors. For the reporting period, Oppenheimer Main Street Opportunity Fund’s Class Y shares returned –39.81% and underperformed the Russell 3000 Index, which returned –38.86%. During the second half of the reporting period, the underlying fund’s portfolio managers shifted focus away from the mega-cap stocks that were at the epicenter of the financial crisis. The resulting underweight exposure to mega-cap stocks relative to the benchmark and a correspondingly overweight position in small-cap stocks detracted from the underlying fund’s relative performance when larger stocks generally fared better than smaller ones later in the reporting period. However, the relative performance of the underlying fund managers’ security selection strategy offset some of the relative weakness produced by their market capitalization strategy.
In terms of international equities, the Fund had a nearly 20% allocation to Oppenheimer Global Fund’s Class Y shares, which returned –40.85% during the reporting period, somewhat better than the MSCI World Index’s return of –41.43%, but reflecting the extremely difficult period for global equity stocks. The underlying fund during the reporting period was underweight financials and commodities, as it has been for some time. The rationale behind the underweight in financials was the underlying fund’s portfolio manager’s belief that the risk involved with extreme leverage in financial institutions during a period of high stock prices was not well priced into the market. As for his avoidance of materials stocks, the underlying fund’s portfolio manager felt commodity prices were too high. The underlying fund enjoyed good relative performance versus its benchmark in the information technology sector, where a significant overweight position and stock selection both helped. In terms of detractors from the underlying fund’s relative performance, an underweight to energy stocks hurt results and poor stock selection in consumer discretionary also accounted for underperformance in that sector. Equity Investor Fund had a smaller allocation to Oppenheimer Developing Markets Fund’s Class Y shares, approximately 4%, which returned –46.48% but outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, by over 3%.
9 | EQUITY INVESTOR FUND
FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION
The other significant allocation for the Fund was to Oppenheimer Value Fund’s Class Y shares, which returned –39.64% during the reporting period. The underlying fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Value Index, which returned –41.78% during the reporting period. The underlying fund outperformed its benchmark in the financials, health care, industrials, materials and information technology sectors, while underperforming in the energy, consumer discretionary, consumer staples and telecommunication services sectors. The energy sector was the area of largest underperformance versus the index, as the underlying fund was underweight some of the largest energy stocks, which had better relative performance.
Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each class of shares of the Fund held from inception of the Classes on April 5, 2005 until January 31, 2009. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains distributions. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI World IndexSM. The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of equity securities that is a measure of the general domestic stock market. The Morgan Stanley Capital International, Inc. (MSCI) World Index is an unmanaged index of issuers listed on the stock exchanges of a select number of foreign countries and the U.S. Index performance reflects the reinvestment of income but does not consider the effect of transaction costs, and none of the data in the graphs shows the effect of taxes. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

FUND EXPENSES
Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended January 31, 2009.
Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads), or a $12.00 fee imposed annually on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions described in the Statement of Additional Information). Therefore, the
17 | EQUITY INVESTOR FUND
FUND EXPENSES Continued
“hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class Y | | | 1,000.00 | | | | 1,024.89 | | | | 0.25 | |
Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/366 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding all underlying fund expenses, based on the 6-month period ended January 31, 2009 are as follows:
| | | | |
Class | | Expense Ratios |
|
Class A | | | 0.62 | % |
Class B | | | 1.45 | |
Class C | | | 1.37 | |
Class N | | | 0.77 | |
Class Y | | | 0.05 | |
The expense ratios reflect reduction to custodian expenses and voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager and Transfer Agent that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Valuation Inputs
Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset (such as quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3—unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset).
The market value of the Fund’s investments was determined based on the following inputs as of January 31, 2009:
| | | | | | | | |

Currency contracts and forwards are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. Futures are reported at their variation margin at measurement date, which represents the amount due to/from the Fund at that date. Options written and swaps are reported at their market value at measurement date. |

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Significant Accounting Policies
Oppenheimer Portfolio Series (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as an open-end management investment company. Equity Investor Fund (the “Fund”) is a series of the Trust whose investment objective is to seek long term growth of capital. The Fund is a special type of mutual fund known as a “fund of funds” because it invests in other mutual funds. The Fund normally invests in a diversified portfolio of Oppenheimer mutual funds (individually, an “Underlying Fund” and collectively, the “Underlying Funds”). The Fund’s investment adviser is OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (the “Manager”).
The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y 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. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund.
Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares based upon the net asset value of the applicable Underlying Fund. For each Underlying Fund, the net asset value per share for a class of shares is determined as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading by dividing the value of the Underlying Fund’s net assets attributable to that class by the number of outstanding shares of that class on that day.
Effective for fiscal periods beginning after November 15, 2007, FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, establishes a hierarchy for measuring fair value of assets and liabilities. As required by the standard, each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing assets
F12 | EQUITY INVESTOR FUND
and liabilities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those assets or liabilities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.
The Fund classifies each of its investments in the Underlying Funds as Level 1, without consideration as to the classification level of the specific investments held by the Underlying Funds.
To determine their net asset values, the Underlying Funds’ assets are valued primarily on the basis of current market quotations. In the absence of a readily available quoted market price, including for assets whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Underlying Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that Underlying Fund’s assets using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees. The methodologies used for valuing assets are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those Underlying Funds.
The Underlying Funds’ investments are classified as Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 based on the inputs used in determining their value. Investments held by the Underlying Funds are typically classified as Level 1 or Level 2.
Fair valued assets may be classified as “Level 3” if the valuation primarily reflects the Manager’s own assumptions about the inputs that market participants would use in valuing such securities.
There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.
Risks of Investing in the Underlying Funds. Each of the Underlying Funds in which the Fund invests has its own investment risks, and those risks can affect the value of the Fund’s investments and therefore the value of the Fund’s shares. To the extent that the Fund invests more of its assets in one Underlying Fund than in another, the Fund will have greater exposure to the risks of that Underlying Fund.
Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. Prior to June 1, 2008, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.
Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.
The tax components of capital shown in the following table represent distribution requirements the Fund must satisfy under the income tax regulations, losses the Fund may be able to offset against income and gains realized in future years and unrealized appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes.

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 January 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

The aggregate cost of securities and other investments and the composition of unrealized appreciation and depreciation of securities and other investments for federal income tax purposes as of January 31, 2009 are noted in the following table. The primary difference between book and tax appreciation or depreciation of securities and other investments, if applicable, is attributable to the tax deferral of losses or tax realization of financial statement unrealized gain or loss.

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active independent trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the year ended January 31, 2009, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:
| | | | |
Projected Benefit Obligations Increased | | $ | 10,894 | |
Payments Made to Retired Trustees | | | 2,246 | |
Accumulated Liability as of January 31, 2009 | | | 22,200 | |
The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s
F15 | EQUITY INVESTOR FUND

assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend distributions received from the Underlying Funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Upon receipt of notification from an Underlying Fund, and subsequent to the ex-dividend date, some of the dividend income originally recorded by the Fund may be reclassified as a tax return of capital by reducing the cost basis of the Underlying Fund and/or increasing the realized gain on sales of investments in the Underlying Fund.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the 1 Month LIBOR Rate plus 2.00%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable, represents earnings on cash balances maintained by the Fund during the period. Such interest expense and other custodian fees may be paid with these earnings.
Security Transactions. Security transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.
Indemnifications. The Fund’s organizational documents provide current and former trustees and officers with a limited indemnification against liabilities arising in connection with the performance of their duties to the Fund. In the normal course of business, the Fund may also enter into contracts that provide general indemnifications. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would be dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Manager does not charge a management fee, but rather collects indirect management fees from investments in the Underlying Funds and the Fund’s investment in IMMF. The weighted indirect management fees collected from the Underlying Funds and the Fund’s investment in IMMF as a percent of average daily net assets of the Fund for the year ended January 31, 2009 was 0.58%.
Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the year ended January 31, 2009, the Fund paid $1,072,714 to OFS for services to the Fund.
Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 annually for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.
Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s classes of shares.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the “Plan”) for Class A shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to 0.25% of the 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 periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares and 0.25% on Class N shares. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of
F18 | EQUITY INVESTOR FUND
such termination. The Distributor’s aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at December 31, 2008 for Class B, Class C and Class N shares were $1,640,529, $1,125,752 and $595,950, respectively. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) do not represent expenses of the Fund.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Portfolio Series:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Equity Investor Fund, (one of the portfolios constituting the Oppenheimer Portfolio Series), including the statement of investments, as of January 31, 2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended and for the period April 5, 2005 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2006. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2009, by correspondence with the transfer agent of the underlying funds. 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 Equity Investor Fund as of January 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the three-year period then ended and for the period April 5, 2005 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2009, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2008. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.
Capital gain distributions of $0.5037 per share were paid to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class N and Class Y shareholders, respectively, on December 31, 2008. Whether received in stock or in cash, the capital gain distribution should be treated by shareholders as a gain from the sale of the capital assets held for more than one year (long-term capital gains).
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by 100% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. $6,200,759 of the Fund’s fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2009, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.
Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, $4,381 or 0.47% of the ordinary distributions paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend.
The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited
Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information, the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.
The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.
Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.
Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s asset allocation team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.
20 | EQUITY INVESTOR FUND
The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Rudi Schadt, Jerry Webman, Kurt Wolfgruber, Christopher Leavy and Alex Kurinets, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the experience of the portfolio managers and the investment performance of the investment companies in which the Fund may invest (the “Underlying Funds”). The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources, that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.
Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other retail front-end load and no-load global multi-cap core funds including fund of funds advised by other investment advisers. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year and since inception performance were below its peer group median.
Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and its affiliates and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund does not pay a direct management fee but that the Fund indirectly bears its share of the management fees of the Underlying Funds. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund, other global multi-cap core, global multi-cap growth and international multi-cap core funds of funds and other passively managed affiliated funds of funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. The Board also noted that the Manager has agreed to voluntarily limit the aggregate

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited / Continued
amount of combined direct (fund of funds level) and indirect (Underlying Fund level) expense so that as a percentage of average daily net assets they will not exceed the following annual rates: 1.45% for Class A, 2.20% for Class B, 2.20% for Class C, 1.70% for Class N and 1.20% for Class Y. The Manager may modify or terminate this undertaking at any time without notice to shareholders. The Board noted that the Fund’s total expenses (direct and indirect) are lower than its peer group median.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund and the Underlying Funds, and the extent to which those economies of scale would benefit the Fund’s shareholders.
Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates. The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund and that maintaining the financial viability of the Manager is important in order for the Manager to continue to provide significant services to the Fund and its shareholders.
Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.
Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement for another year. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

Householding—Delivery of Shareholder Documents
This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus, annual and semiannual report and privacy policy. The consolidation of these mailings, called householding, benefits your fund through reduced mailing expense, and benefits you by reducing the volume of mail you receive from OppenheimerFunds. Householding does not affect the delivery of your account statements.
Please note that we will continue to household these mailings for as long as you remain an OppenheimerFunds shareholder, unless you request otherwise. If you prefer to receive multiple copies of these materials, please call us at 1.800.CALL-OPP (225-5677). You may also notify us in writing or via email. We will begin sending you individual copies of the prospectus, reports and privacy policy within 30 days of receiving your request to stop householding.

The Fund’s Governance Committee Provisions with Respect to Nominations of Directors/Trustees to the Respective Boards
1. | | The Fund’s Governance Committee (the “Committee”) will evaluate potential Board candidates to assess their qualifications. The Committee shall have the authority, upon approval of the Board, to retain an executive search firm to assist in this effort. The Committee may consider recommendations by business and personal contacts of current Board members and by executive search firms which the Committee may engage from time to time and may also consider shareholder recommendations. The Committee may consider the advice and recommendation of the Funds’ investment manager and its affiliates in making the selection. |
|
2. | | The Committee shall screen candidates for Board membership. The Committee has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees, the Committee considers, among other things, an individual’s background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; and whether the individual would be deemed an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. The Committee also considers whether the individual’s background, skills, and experience will complement the background, skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the Board. There are no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates nominees for trustees based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder. |
|
3. | | The Committee may consider nominations from shareholders for the Board at such times as the Committee meets to consider new nominees for the Board. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine the candidates to present to the Board and, in such cases where required, to shareholders. Recommendations for trustee nominees should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following: |
| • | | the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended; |
| • | | a statement concerning whether the person is an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; |
|
| • | | any other information that the Funds would be required to include in a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and |
|
| • | | the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and, if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that person held Fund shares. |
| | The recommendation also can include any additional information which the person submitting it believes would assist the Committee in evaluating the recommendation. |
|
4. | | Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the Funds’ investment adviser) would be deemed an “interested person” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, certain other relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds’ outside legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an “interested person.” |
|
5. | | Before the Committee decides to nominate an individual as a trustee, Committee members and other directors customarily interview the individual in person. In addition, the individual customarily is asked to complete a detailed questionnaire which is designed to elicit information which must be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine whether the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving as a trustee of a registered investment company. |
Item 11. Controls and Procedures.
Based on their evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c)) as of 01/31/2009, the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer found the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a) is accumulated and communicated to registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
There have been no changes in the registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
