2 OPPENHEIMER ULTRA-SHORT DURATION FUND
The Fund’s Class Y shares produced a total return of 1.58% over the one-year reporting period ended July 31, 2018, outperforming the 1.43% total return of its benchmark, the ICE BofA Merrill Lynch 3-Month U.S. Treasury Bill Index (the “Index”). Despite volatility among short term interest rates stemming from the Federal Reserve (“Fed”) hikes, the Fund continued to provide a higher level of current income versus alternatives. During the reporting period, the exposure to high grade corporate credit in both bonds and commercial paper allowed the Fund to outperform the Index. Adding to this outperformance was our positioning further out the curve, as the portfolio averaged about 140 days of effective duration.
MARKET OVERVIEW
In November of 2017, it was announced that Jerome Powell would become the 16th Chair of the Federal Reserve (the “Fed”). Many market participants believe his appointment by President Trump will allow for a continuation of a slow and steady rise
in the Fed Funds Rate. Mr. Powell has served on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors since 2012 and during this tenure has voted in harmony with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) statements under both Janet Yellen and Ben Bernanke.
COMPARISON OF CHANGE IN VALUE OF $10,000 HYPOTHETICAL INVESTMENTS IN:
3 OPPENHEIMER ULTRA-SHORT DURATION FUND
Current broader market and FOMC consensus is for two more hikes in 2018. We estimate the most likely scenario includes a hike at each of the September and December meetings. Should the markets remain stable and steady, many on the street are forecasting a total of four hikes in 2018. The more conservative consensus view puts the Fed Funds Rate in the 2.25% to 2.50% range at year end. Coupled with these hikes, the Fed continues to shrink its balance sheet down from $4.5 trillion, a move it started in October 2017. While the Fed has not indicated a balance sheet level it intends to hit, it has denoted the holdings will not return to pre-recession levels (less than $1 trillion). While the tapering to date has had minimal impact on the market, upcoming roll offs are expected to be higher in the third quarter of 2018 at $120 billion and then another $150 billion in the fourth quarter of 2018.
Another area of continued interest is in Treasury bill supply. Once the debt ceiling issue was resolved in the first part of the year, the Treasury restocked its cash balances in the first quarter of 2018 with record Treasury bill issuance. Due in part to the large bill issuance and talk around repatriation of overseas cash, the market witnessed a large spread difference in the 3-month London Interbank Offered Rate and Overnight Index Swap rate in the month of April.1 The noise brought back memories of previous spikes, notably the 2008 financial crisis and the European debt crisis. However, this time around, credit concerns were not the driving force. Rather it was the shear supply of bills and the
uncertainties around repatriation.
From a credit standpoint, credit spreads have continued to ebb and flow in a tight range. More recently we have seen spreads tighten with an increase in demand and a summer lull in supply. The tax reform bill from earlier this year continues to provide a little more flexibility in managing a firm’s financials in the investment grade space. We remain cautiously optimistic and keep our watchful eye on macro items (i.e., inflation, unemployment, wages, U.S. dollar, central banks’ balance sheets, etc.) that could also be impactful to our overall investment views. Further, with merger and acquisitions in constant flux, fundamentals remain paramount for our investment selection.
FUND REVIEW
The Fund continues to invest most of its assets in securities with maturities of one year or less. This focus generally allows the Fund to have relatively low price volatility and increases its inherent liquidity. At the same time, we continued to complement investments in money market securities with investment grade short-term corporate notes and bonds with maturities of one to three years. To further mitigate the interest rate risk, we maintain a short position in Treasury future contracts, which would benefit in value should short Treasury rates rise. We continue to be positioned for more rate hikes in 2018 and into 2019.
4 OPPENHEIMER ULTRA-SHORT DURATION FUND
STRATEGY & OUTLOOK
Our strategy continues to be one that seeks income with reduced volatility. We believe in our investment process and our strong fundamental credit analysis. Our outlook is for
two more hikes in 2018. We believe the Fund is well positioned to take advantage of these higher rates as long as the Fed continues on a path of slow and steady hikes.
1. The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is the average interest rate estimated by leading banks in London that they would be charged if borrowing from other banks. It is a primary benchmark for short- term interest rates around the world. The Overnight Index Swap rate is the difference between the overnight lending rates set by central banks and the three-month LIBOR. The Overnight Index Swap rate tracks the relationship between an expected three-month Fed Funds Rate and three-month LIBOR.

Performance data quoted represents past performance, which does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Returns do not consider capital gains or income taxes on an individual’s investment. For performance data current to the most recent month-end, visit oppenheimerfunds.com or call 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). There is no sales charge for Class A, Class I and Class Y shares. Class A shares are not currently available for purchase. Returns for periods of less than one year are cumulative and not annualized. See Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses for more information on share classes.
Standardized yield is based on an SEC-standardized formula designed to approximate the Fund’s annualized hypothetical current income from securities less expenses for the 30-day period ended July 31, 2018 and that date’s net asset value (for all share classes). Each result is compounded semiannually and then annualized. Falling share prices will tend to artificially raise yields. The unsubsidized standardized yield is computed under an SEC-standardized formula based on net income earned for the 30-day period ended July 31, 2018. The calculation excludes any expense reimbursements and thus may result in a lower yield.
The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the ICE Bank of America (BofA) Merrill Lynch 3-month U.S. Treasury Bill Index, an index of short-term U.S. Government securities with a remaining term to final maturity of less than three months. The index is unmanaged and cannot be purchased directly by investors. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments comprising the index. Index performance includes reinvestment of income, but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. Index performance is shown for illustrative purposes only as a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, and does not predict or depict performance of the Fund. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses.
The views in the Fund Performance Discussion represent the opinions of this Fund’s portfolio manager(s) and are not intended as investment advice or to predict or depict the performance of any investment. These views are as of the close of business on July 31, 2018, and are

Before investing in any of the Oppenheimer funds, investors should carefully consider a fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses. Fund prospectuses and summary prospectuses contain this and other information about the funds, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, visiting oppenheimerfunds.com, or calling 1.800.CALL OPP (225.5677). Read prospectuses and summary prospectuses carefully before investing.
Shares of Oppenheimer funds are not deposits or obligations of any bank, are not guaranteed by any bank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other agency, and involve investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and/or contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended July 31, 2018.
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 6 Months Ended July 31, 2018” 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 Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated funds, based on the 6-month period ended July 31, 2018 are as follows:
Class | Expense Ratios | |||||
Class A | 0.34 | % | ||||

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

24 OPPENHEIMER ULTRA-SHORT DURATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS July 31, 2018
1. Organization
Oppenheimer Ultra-Short Duration Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as a diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek income. The Fund’s investment adviser is OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. (“OFI Global” or the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI” or the “Sub-Adviser”). The Manager has entered into a sub-advisory agreement with OFI.
The Fund offers Class A, Class I and Class Y shares. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is the net asset value per share without any initial sales charge. Class A shares are currently not available for purchase. Class I and Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without a front-end sales charge, however, the intermediaries may impose charges on their accountholders who beneficially own Class I and Class Y shares. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class.
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed in the Fund’s preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”).
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Security Valuation. All investments in securities are recorded at their estimated fair value, as described in Note 3.
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.
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. GAAP, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared daily and paid monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as determined necessary by the Manager.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair value of the securities received. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends, if any, and capital gains taxes on foreign investments, if any, have been provided for in accordance with the
25 OPPENHEIMER ULTRA-SHORT DURATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Fund’s understanding of the applicable tax rules and regulations. Interest income, if any, is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdraft at a rate equal to the Prime Rate plus 0.35%. 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.
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 remains open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends. The Fund has analyzed its tax positions for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2018, including open tax years, and does not believe there are any uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Fund’s financial statements.
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. At period end, the Fund had $501,517 of net capital loss carryforward available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions.
2. During the reporting period, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
3. During the previous reporting period, the Fund utilized $ 360,320 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax requirements, which may differ from the character of net investment income or net realized gains presented in those financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. 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 the reporting period. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

Use of Estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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.
New Accounting Pronouncement. In March 2017, Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), ASU 2017-08. This provides guidance related to the amortization period for certain purchased callable debt securities held at a premium. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. The Manager is evaluating the impacts of these changes on the financial statements.
3. Securities Valuation
The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time, on each day the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”) is open for trading, except in the case of a scheduled early closing of the Exchange, in which case the Fund will calculate net asset value of the shares as of the scheduled early closing time of the Exchange.
The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a fair valuation for any security for which market quotations are not readily available. The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at least quarterly or more frequently, if necessary.
Valuation Methods and Inputs
Securities are valued primarily using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied by third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:
Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, short-term notes, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the bid and asked prices utilizing
28 OPPENHEIMER ULTRA-SHORT DURATION FUND
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices. Pricing services generally price debt securities assuming orderly transactions of an institutional “round lot” size, but some trades may occur in smaller, “odd lot” sizes, sometimes at lower prices than institutional round lot trades. Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors include reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, as well as other appropriate factors.
Futures contracts and futures options traded on a commodities or futures exchange will be valued at the final settlement price or official closing price on the principal exchange as reported by such principal exchange at its trading session ending at, or most recently prior to, the time when the Fund’s assets are valued.
Securities for which market quotations are not readily available, or when a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, are fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Those standardized fair valuation methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.
Classifications
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs may be used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end.
These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).

Forward currency exchange contracts and futures contracts, if any, are reported at their unrealized appreciation/depreciation at measurement date, which represents the change in the contract’s value from trade date. All additional assets and liabilities included in the above table are reported at their market value at measurement date.
For the reporting period, there were no transfers between levels.
4. Investments and Risks
Shareholder Concentration. At period end, one shareholder owned 20% or more of the Fund’s total outstanding shares.
The shareholders are related parties of the Fund. Related parties may include, but are not limited to, the investment manager and its affiliates, affiliated broker dealers, fund of funds, and directors or employees. Related parties owned 90% of the Fund’s total outstanding shares at period end.
5. Market Risk Factors
The Fund’s investments in securities and/or financial derivatives may expose the Fund to various market risk factors:
Commodity Risk. Commodity risk relates to the change in value of commodities or commodity indexes as they relate to increases or decreases in the commodities market.
Commodities are physical assets that have tangible properties. Examples of these types of assets are crude oil, heating oil, metals, livestock, and agricultural products.
Credit Risk. Credit risk relates to the ability of the issuer of debt to meet interest and principal payments, or both, as they come due. In general, lower-grade, higher-yield debt
30 OPPENHEIMER ULTRA-SHORT DURATION FUND
5. Market Risk Factors (Continued)
securities are subject to credit risk to a greater extent than lower-yield, higher-quality securities.
Equity Risk. Equity risk relates to the change in value of equity securities as they relate to increases or decreases in the general market.
Foreign Exchange Rate Risk. Foreign exchange rate risk relates to the change in the U.S. dollar value of a security held that is denominated in a foreign currency. The U.S. dollar value of a foreign currency denominated security will decrease as the dollar appreciates against the currency, while the U.S. dollar value will increase as the dollar depreciates against the currency.
Interest Rate Risk. Interest rate risk refers to the fluctuations in value of fixed-income securities resulting from the inverse relationship between price and yield. For example, an increase in general interest rates will tend to reduce the market value of already issued fixed-income investments, and a decline in general interest rates will tend to increase their value. In addition, debt securities with longer maturities, which tend to have higher yields, are subject to potentially greater fluctuations in value from changes in interest rates than obligations with shorter maturities.
Volatility Risk. Volatility risk refers to the magnitude of the movement, but not the direction of the movement, in a financial instrument’s price over a defined time period. Large increases or decreases in a financial instrument’s price over a relative time period typically indicate greater volatility risk, while small increases or decreases in its price typically indicate lower volatility risk.
6. Use of Derivatives
The Fund’s investment objective not only permits the Fund to purchase investment securities, it also allows the Fund to enter into various types of derivatives contracts, including, but not limited to, futures contracts, forward currency exchange contracts, credit default swaps, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, variance swaps and purchased and written options. In doing so, the Fund will employ strategies in differing combinations to permit it to increase, decrease, or change the level or types of exposure to market risk factors. These instruments may allow the Fund to pursue its objectives more quickly and efficiently than if it were to make direct purchases or sales of securities capable of effecting a similar response to market factors. Such contracts may be entered into through a bilateral over-the-counter (“OTC”) transaction, or through a securities or futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse.
Derivatives may have little or no initial cash investment relative to their market value exposure and therefore can produce significant gains or losses in excess of their cost due to changes in the market risk factors and the overall market. This use of embedded leverage allows the Fund to increase its market value exposure relative to its net assets and can substantially increase the volatility of the Fund’s performance. In instances where the Fund is using derivatives to decrease, or hedge, exposures to market risk factors for securities held by the Fund, there are also risks that those derivatives may not perform as expected resulting in losses for the combined or hedged positions. Some derivatives have the potential for unlimited

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)
loss, regardless of the size of the Fund’s initial investment.
Additional associated risks from investing in derivatives also exist and potentially could have significant effects on the valuation of the derivative and the Fund. Typically, the associated risks are not the risks that the Fund is attempting to increase or decrease exposure to, per its investment objectives, but are the additional risks from investing in derivatives. Examples of these associated risks are liquidity risk, which is the risk that the Fund will not be able to sell the derivative in the open market in a timely manner, and counterparty credit risk, which is the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund.
The Fund’s actual exposures to these market risk factors and associated risks during the period are discussed in further detail, by derivative type, below.
Futures Contracts
A futures contract is a commitment to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a negotiated price on a stipulated future date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts and may also buy or write put or call options on these futures contracts. Futures contracts and options thereon are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value in an account registered in the futures commission merchant’s name. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the futures commission merchant each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the futures commission merchant can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations.
Futures contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. Securities held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts are noted in the Statement of Investments. Cash held by a futures commission merchant to cover initial margin requirements on open futures contracts and the receivable and/or payable for the daily mark to market for the variation margin are noted in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. The net change in unrealized appreciation and depreciation is reported in the Statement of Operations. Realized gains (losses) are reported in the Statement of Operations at the closing or expiration of futures contracts.
The Fund may purchase and/or sell financial futures contracts and options on futures contracts to gain exposure to, or decrease exposure to interest rate risk, equity risk, foreign exchange rate risk, volatility risk, or commodity risk.
During the reporting period, the Fund had an ending monthly average market value of $81,734,736 on futures contracts sold.
Additional associated risks of entering into futures contracts (and related options) include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market where the Fund is unable to liquidate the contract or enter into an offsetting position and, if used for hedging purposes, the risk that the price of the contract will correlate imperfectly with the prices of the Fund’s securities.
32 OPPENHEIMER ULTRA-SHORT DURATION FUND
6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)
Counterparty Credit Risk. Derivative positions are subject to the risk that the counterparty will not fulfill its obligation to the Fund. The Fund intends to enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that the Manager believes to be creditworthy at the time of the transaction.
For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset derivative assets and derivative liabilities that are subject to netting arrangements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Bankruptcy or insolvency laws of a particular jurisdiction may impose restrictions on or prohibitions against the right of offset in bankruptcy, insolvency or other events.
The Fund’s risk of loss from counterparty credit risk on exchange-traded derivatives cleared through a clearinghouse and for centrally cleared swaps is generally considered lower than as compared to OTC derivatives. However, counterparty credit risk exists with respect to initial and variation margin deposited/paid by the Fund that is held in futures commission merchant, broker and/or clearinghouse accounts for such exchange-traded derivatives and for centrally cleared swaps.
With respect to centrally cleared swaps, such transactions will be submitted for clearing, and if cleared, will be held in accounts at futures commission merchants or brokers that are members of clearinghouses. While brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses are required to segregate customer margin from their own assets, in the event that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse becomes insolvent or goes into bankruptcy and at that time there is a shortfall in the aggregate amount of margin held by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for all its customers, U.S. bankruptcy laws will typically allocate that shortfall on a pro-rata basis across all the broker’s, futures commission merchant’s or clearinghouse’s customers, potentially resulting in losses to the Fund.
There is the risk that a broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse will decline to clear a transaction on the Fund’s behalf, and the Fund may be required to pay a termination fee to the executing broker with whom the Fund initially enters into the transaction. Clearinghouses may also be permitted to terminate centrally cleared swaps at any time. The Fund is also subject to the risk that the broker or futures commission merchant will improperly use the Fund’s assets deposited/paid as initial or variation margin to satisfy payment obligations of another customer. In the event of a default by another customer of the broker or futures commission merchant, the Fund might not receive its variation margin payments from the clearinghouse, due to the manner in which variation margin payments are aggregated for all customers of the broker/futures commission merchant.
Collateral and margin requirements differ by type of derivative. Margin requirements are established by the broker, futures commission merchant or clearinghouse for exchange-traded and cleared derivatives, including centrally cleared swaps. Brokers, futures commission merchants and clearinghouses can ask for margin in excess of the regulatory minimum, or increase the margin amount, in certain circumstances.
For financial reporting purposes, cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund, if any, is reported separately on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as cash pledged as collateral. Non-cash collateral pledged by the Fund, if any, is noted in
33 OPPENHEIMER ULTRA-SHORT DURATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
6. Use of Derivatives (Continued)
the Statement of Investments. Generally, the amount of collateral due from or to a party must exceed a minimum transfer amount threshold (e.g. $250,000) before a transfer has to be made. To the extent amounts due to the Fund from its counterparties are not fully collateralized, contractually or otherwise, the Fund bears the risk of loss from counterparty nonperformance.

9. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates
Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate of 0.30%.
Sub-Adviser Fees. The Manager has retained the Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Manager pays the Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a percentage of the investment management fee collected by the Manager from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any investment management fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Adviser is paid by the Manager, not by the Fund.
Transfer Agent Fees. OFI Global (the “Transfer Agent”) serves as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays the Transfer Agent a fee based on annual net assets, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. Fees incurred and average net assets for each class with respect to these services are detailed in the Statement of Operations and Financial Highlights, respectively.
Sub-Transfer Agent Fees. The Transfer Agent has retained Shareholder Services, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of OFI (the “Sub-Transfer Agent”), to provide the day-to-day transfer agent and shareholder servicing of the Fund. Under the Sub-Transfer Agency Agreement, the Transfer Agent pays the Sub-Transfer Agent an annual fee in monthly installments, equal to a
35 OPPENHEIMER ULTRA-SHORT DURATION FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
9. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)
percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.
Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”) 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 Trustees 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 Trustees. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustees in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of Trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance with the compensation deferral plan.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the “Plan”) for Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund reimburses the Distributor for a portion of its costs incurred for services provided to accounts that hold Class A shares. Reimbursement is made periodically at an annual rate of up to
0.25% of the daily net assets of Class A shares of the Fund. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal service and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Any unreimbursed expenses the Distributor incurs with respect to Class A shares in any fiscal year cannot be recovered in subsequent periods. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Fund does not currently charge such fees on Class A shares.
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to limit the Fund’s “Expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses” (excluding any applicable dividend expense, taxes, interest and fees from borrowing, any subsidiary expenses, Acquired Fund Fees and Expenses, brokerage commissions, and certain other Fund expenses) so that, as percentages of average daily net assets, those expenses will not exceed the annual rate of 0.65% for Class A shares and 0.25% for Class I and Class Y shares, respectively. The Manager will also waive a portion of the advisory fee on Class A shares to the same extent that it waives any of the advisory fee on Class I or Class Y shares.
During the reporting period, the Manager waived fees and/or reimbursed the Fund as follows:

9. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)
Class A | $51 | |||
Class I | 12,122 | |||
Class Y | 923,104 |
This fee waiver and/or expense reimbursement may not be amended or withdrawn for one year from the date of the Fund’s prospectus, unless approved by the Board.
10. Borrowings and Other Financing
Joint Credit Facility. A number of mutual funds managed by the Manager participate in a $1.95 billion revolving credit facility (the “Facility”) intended to provide short-term financing, if necessary, subject to certain restrictions in connection with atypical redemption activity. Expenses and fees related to the Facility are paid by the participating funds and are disclosed separately or as other expenses on the Statement of Operations. The Fund did not utilize the Facility during the reporting period.
11. Share Split
As of the close of business on August 7, 2015, the Fund implemented a 2 for 1 share split. This share split effectively increased the number of outstanding shares for the Fund. As a result, shareholders’ accounts reflect additional shares with a lower net asset value per share. While the number of shares increased, neither the Fund’s holdings nor the total value of shareholders’ investments was affected. Per share data in the financial highlights prior to
August 7, 2015, has been adjusted to give effect to this share split.
37 OPPENHEIMER ULTRA-SHORT DURATION FUND
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Shareholders and Board of Trustees
Oppenheimer Ultra-Short Duration Fund:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Ultra-Short Duration Fund (the “Fund”), including the statement of investments, as of July 31, 2018, 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 related notes (collectively, the “financial statements”) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of July 31, 2018, 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 or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
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 are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. 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, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2018, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited
In early 2018, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2017.
None of the dividends paid by the Fund during the reporting period are eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the reporting period 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 2018, 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.
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 reporting period, the maximum amount allowable but not less than $8,541,235 of the ordinary distributions to be 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.

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