Fund Performance Discussion
The Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charges) produced a 12.18% total return, with the Fund continuing to post solid gains across most real estate market sectors in an improving global economic environment. We attribute the Fund’s positive absolute performance to a period of strong growth and recovery in the U.S. and the U.K., which were supported by macroeconomic factors and the capital markets as well as a “lower for longer” theme regarding global interest rates.
We are pleased that the Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) outperformed its benchmark, the FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index (“the Index”), which produced a 10.91% return for the same period. On a country basis, the Fund’s relative outperformance can be attributed to its weightings in the U.S., Japan and by its limited exposure to Latin American emerging markets. On a sector basis, the Fund’s strongest relative gains stemmed from our superior stock selection within the apartment, storage and lodging sectors, and a lack of exposure to the underperforming free-standing, triple net lease area in the U.S.

MARKET OVERVIEW
When the reporting period began, the U.S. economy was in what is commonly referred to as a “Goldilocks” period, where solid, cyclical growth is accompanied by low interest rates and low inflation. Throughout the reporting period, the U.S. economy continued to grow in excess of 2% on average, pointing to a slow, but steady recovery.
However, early on, the reporting period was marked by a fair amount of volatility, as severe weather patterns began to wreak havoc in the U.S. The difficult winters – both in 2014 and 2015 – halted construction activities, which, in turn, dampened the building of new homes. Individuals were less likely to shop for single-family homes or condominiums in such treacherous weather conditions. A multitude of areas within the real estate industry were impacted during this time, including realtors, mortgage brokers and retail furniture sales. Fortunately, the pent-up demand during the winter months was eased as the weather improved and the real estate market returned to its more normal state.
One of the highlights of the reporting period was the fact that employment growth in the U.S. remained strong. This helped create demand for housing, with clear increases in household formations and a surge in demand within the apartment sector, most notably from the age cohorts who have the largest propensity to rent – the 20 to 35 year-old population. These positive employment figures also helped drive demand for autos and retail merchandise, all encouraging factors for the Fund.
In Europe, the U.K. continued its path toward economic recovery, with improving overall fundamentals, a strong real estate cycle, particularly in London, and an overall recovery story that was similar to the U.S. One of the major events of the reporting period has been the announcement of quantitative easing (“QE”) in Europe by the European Central Bank (the “ECB”) led by president Mario Draghi. This easing package has been incredibly supportive for the real estate market, pushing down interest rates.
Another major event this reporting period was enacted by the Swiss National Bank, which, in essence, reduced the spread between the Swiss franc and the euro, resulting in volatility for the currency markets. The end result has been that the volatility in currencies has positively influenced Fund performance, much more so than in previous years.
In Asia, which has struggled for some time now, particularly Japan, there is still hand-wringing over whether the “Abenomics” measures under the leadership of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will ultimately prove futile. However, a bright note has been that the quantitative easing program has depreciated the yen, which, in turn, has spurred an increase in tourism from China. We were able to capitalize on this trend

based on increased hotel occupancy and retail tourism spending.
FUND REVIEW
The Fund’s strongest gains for the 12-month reporting period were achieved from our holdings in the U.S. Here, we attempted to capitalize on the “growth theme” occurring in the U.S, with the recovering economy, continued economic expansion and low interest rates – all factors that helped spur real estate investment trust (“REIT”) stocks within the U.S. sleeve of the portfolio. Within that theme, and employing our top-down approach, we identified markets that we believed possessed the most favorable drivers and invested there. Accordingly, the Fund benefited most from its U.S. holdings in the apartment and storage sectors, while the lodging sector produced more mixed results. We also gained traction from our underweight to the free-standing, triple net lease sector, primarily by avoiding American Realty Capital, which encountered difficulties during the reporting period.
Within the apartment sector, holdings with a West Coast exposure scored especially strong gains, particularly those within the San Francisco area where we’ve witnessed an increase in household formations, a limited supply, and its inhabitants are highly compensated individuals. We continue to see a strong job market in the West Coast area, particularly for recent college graduates entering the technology industry. In these high-barrier regions, the spread
between the price of renting and the price of owning is significant. Besides, many young people prefer to rent because it allows them the flexibility to move should their employer offer them a relocation option. The Fund’s best performer within this area was Essex Property Trust, Inc.
The self-storage sector, which often benefits from its natural correlation with the apartment sector, also enjoyed solid gains from its West Coast exposure. In addition, performance was driven by favorable supply and demand dynamics and the ability to implement a new pricing structure based on such strong demand. For some time now, the self-storage sector has had a restrained supply of new facilities, largely because development rights and construction financing are difficult to obtain. At the same time, demand for self-storage has remained strong, especially in the urban metro areas – particularly those located in parts of the country that are near the technology industries. These individuals are favoring housing that is closer to their jobs, restaurants and night life. In many cases, the square footage of these newer, trendy developments is reduced, further fueling the need for storage space. The limited supply of new development coupled with the strong demand has resulted in a very positive market environment for self-storage companies. With such strong demand, many self-storage companies may be able to insist on longer-term contracts, which would enhance their ability to raise rents, augment their occupancies and result in more predictable streams of income. The Fund’s strongest
5 OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND
gains in this area were achieved by Extra Space Storage, Inc. and CubeSmart. In both cases, the companies have expanded their existing portfolios through acquisitions.
Returns within the lodging sector were positive, albeit less stellar than the apartment and storage sectors. Here, Chesapeake Lodging Trust and FelCor Lodging Trust, Inc. benefited from short-term overnight leases and occupancy gains in an expanding economic environment.
After the U.S., Japan was the next largest driver of Fund performance during the reporting period, where a large chunk of those gains stemmed from one large holding, Invincible Investment Corp., a residential and office holding. The stock benefited from the yen depreciation, which has spurred tourism in Japan, particularly from China. Otherwise in Japan, the Fund scored successes from a basketful of names, including Mitsubishi Estate Co. Ltd., Daiwa House Industry Co. Ltd., Fujita Kanko, Inc, and Mitsui Fudosan Co. Ltd.
In the emerging markets, the Fund was able to benefit from its limited exposure to Latin America, most notably Brazil and Mexico, where the property markets did not perform well for the totality of the year.
In continental Europe, we focused on value stories, companies that had strong rentals, with modest amounts of growth and attractive valuations. In fact, we chose to avoid most sectors and instead
maintained a concentration within the high-quality retail sector, a true testament to our superior stock selection strategy. Unibail-Rodamco SE and Klépierre, two French holdings, benefited greatly following the QE announcement by ECB President Draghi. By contrast, in the U.K. we were looking for unique growth opportunities, particularly in London, a traditional stronghold for investors and where we focused on the office sector, including Great Portland Estates plc. In addition, we were able to generate excess return from our exposure to Unite Group plc, a student housing company in the U.K.
On the other hand, detractors to the Fund included an underweight to China, which performed well toward the end of the reporting period and our stock selection in Hong Kong, where a handful of retail and office companies witnessed a fairly quick erosion of their strong fundamentals. In Germany, we favored office stocks early in the reporting period but switched to residential companies based on their favorable underlying fundamentals. Our minimal exposure to residential companies prior to increasing our exposure there detracted from performance, as they performed well.
STRATEGY & OUTLOOK
As of the end of the reporting period, we are positioning the Fund for accelerating economic growth in the second half of 2015. In our view, despite the somewhat weak start earlier in the year, we believe the U.S. economy may be poised to benefit from
6 OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND
projected GDP growth at around 3%, continued job growth, and a possible rising interest rate environment. We are hopeful that this projected economic growth will be accompanied by meaningful wage growth as well.
Based on these views, as of April 30, 2015, we remain overweight in the apartment, self-storage, office and lodging sectors. By contrast, we remain underweight in those areas that we consider more defensive, sectors that typically lag during periods of accelerating economic growth and also tend to encounter heightened sensitivity in a rising interest rate environment. Accordingly, we remain underweight in the net lease and health care sectors.

David Wharmby, CFA Portfolio Manager |
In other parts of the world, we are considering increasing our growth exposure in Europe, under certain conditions, specifically if the momentum in continental Europe continues. In Hong Kong, we have rotated our exposures to acquire a larger presence in the office sector. We plan to maintain our weighting in Japan and seek to generate excess return through pure stock selection there. Given the policy-driven differences in economies throughout large parts of Asia, we believe a focus on stock selection and a less aggressive effort at maintaining country weights makes more prudent investment sense.

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 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 April 30, 2015.
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 April 30, 2015” 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 April 30, 2015 are as follows:

Class | | Expense Ratios | |
Class A | | | 1.44 | % |
Class C | | | 2.23 | |
Class I | | | 1.04 | |
Class R | | | 1.73 | |
Class Y | | | 1.09 | |
The expense ratios reflect voluntary and/or contractual waivers and/or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager and Transfer Agent. 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.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS APRIL 30, 2015
1. Organization
Oppenheimer Global Real Estate Fund (the “Fund”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”), as amended, as a non-diversified open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek total return. 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 Sub-Advisor has entered into a sub-sub-advisory agreement with Cornerstone Real Estate Advisers LLC (the “Sub-Sub-Adviser”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, the parent of OFI.
The Fund offers Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R and Class Y shares. As of July 1, 2014, Class N shares were renamed Class R shares. Class N shares subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) on July 1, 2014, will continue to be subject to a CDSC after the shares are renamed. Purchases of Class R shares occurring on or after July 1, 2014, will not be subject to a CDSC upon redemption. Class A shares are sold at their offering price, which is normally net asset value plus a front-end sales charge. Class C and Class R shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class R shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class R shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class I and Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors or intermediaries without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the intermediaries may impose charges on their accountholders who beneficially own Class I and Class Y shares. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, C and R shares have separate distribution and/or service plans under which they pay fees. Class I and Class Y shares do not pay such fees.
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.
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 New York Stock Exchange (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.
24 OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 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.
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. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income distributions, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually.
Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Upon receipt of notification from the issuer, subsequent to the ex-dividend date, some of the dividend income originally recorded from a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) may be reclassified as a reduction of the cost of the related investment and/or realized gain. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discount and premium, which are included in interest income on the Statement of Operations, are amortized or accreted daily.
Custodian Fees. “Custodian fees and expenses” in the Statement of Operations may include interest expense incurred by the Fund on any cash overdrafts of its custodian account during the period. Such cash overdrafts may result from the effects of failed trades in portfolio securities and from cash outflows resulting from unanticipated shareholder redemption activity. The Fund pays interest to its custodian on such cash overdrafts, to the extent they are not offset by positive cash balances maintained by the Fund, at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%. The “Reduction to custodian expenses” line item, if applicable,
25 OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 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 April 30, 2015, the Fund had $519,573 of net capital loss carryforward available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. Details of the capital loss carryforwards are included in the table below. Capital loss carryovers with no expiration, if any, must be utilized prior to those with expiration dates.

No expiration | | $ | 519,573 | |
2. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015, the Fund utilized $1,338,611 of capital loss carryforward to offset capital gains realized in that fiscal year.
3. During the fiscal year ended April 30, 2014, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.
26 OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND
2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
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 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.
In addition, distributions paid by the Fund’s investments in real estate investment trusts (“REITS”) often include a “return of capital” which is recorded by the Fund as a reduction of the cost basis of securities held. The Internal Revenue Code requires a REIT to distribute at least 95% of its taxable income to investors. In many cases, however, because of “non-cash” expenses such as property depreciation, an equity REIT’s cash flows will exceed its taxable income. The REIT may distribute this excess cash to offer a more competitive yield. This portion of the distribution is deemed a return of capital, and is generally not taxable to shareholders.
Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for April 30, 2015. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.
| | | | |
Reduction to Accumulated Net Investment Loss | | Reduction to Accumulated Net Realized Gain on Investments | |
$5,640,293 | | $ | 5,640,293 | |
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended April 30, 2015 and April 30, 2014 was as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended April 30, 2015 | | | Year Ended April 30, 2014 | |
Distributions paid from: | | | | | | | | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 7,259,228 | | | $ | 2,371,352 | |
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 April 30, 2015 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.
| | | | |
Federal tax cost of securities | | $ | 164,234,530 | |
| | | | |
Gross unrealized appreciation | | $ | 23,371,299 | |
Gross unrealized depreciation | | | (7,310,234 | ) |

Net unrealized appreciation | | $ | 16,061,065 | |

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)
Use of Estimates. 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.
3. Securities Valuation
The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (the “Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for trading.
The Fund’s Board has adopted procedures for the valuation of the Fund’s securities and has delegated the day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations under those procedures to the Manager. The Manager has established a Valuation Committee which is responsible for determining a “fair valuation” for any security for which market quotations are not “readily available.” The Valuation Committee’s fair valuation determinations are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined.
Valuation Methods and Inputs
Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily by third party pricing services or dealers.
The following methodologies are used to determine the market value or the fair value of the types of securities described below:
Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange (including exchange-traded derivatives other than futures and futures options) are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which it is traded, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A security of a foreign issuer traded on a foreign exchange, but not listed on a registered U.S. securities exchange, is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the third party pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. If the last sale price is unavailable, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded. If the last sales price or official closing price for a foreign security is not available, the security is valued at the mean between the bid and asked price per the exchange or, if not available from the exchange, obtained from two dealers. If bid and asked prices are not available from either the exchange or two dealers, the security is valued by using one of the following methodologies (listed in order of priority): (1) using a bid from the exchange, (2) the mean between the bid and asked price as provided by a single dealer, or (3) a bid from a single dealer.
Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.
28 OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
Corporate and government debt securities (of U.S. or foreign issuers) and municipal debt securities, event-linked bonds, loans, mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, and asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers who may use matrix pricing methods to determine the evaluated prices.
Short-term money market type debt securities with a remaining maturity of sixty days or less are valued at cost adjusted by the amortization of discount or premium to maturity (amortized cost), which approximates market value. Short-term debt securities with a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices utilizing evaluated prices obtained from third party pricing services or broker-dealers.
A description of the standard inputs that may generally be considered by the third party pricing vendors in determining their evaluated prices is provided below.
| | |
Security Type | | Standard inputs generally considered by third-party pricing vendors |
Corporate debt, government debt, municipal, mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities | | Reported trade data, broker-dealer price quotations, benchmark yields, issuer spreads on comparable securities, the credit quality, yield, maturity, and other appropriate factors. |
Loans | | Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations. |
Event-linked bonds | | Information obtained from market participants regarding reported trade data and broker-dealer price quotations. |
If a market value or price cannot be determined for a security using the methodologies described above, or if, in the “good faith” opinion of the Manager, the market value or price obtained does not constitute a “readily available market quotation,” or a significant event has occurred that would materially affect the value of the security, the security is fair valued either (i) by a standardized fair valuation methodology applicable to the security type or the significant event as previously approved by the Valuation Committee and the Fund’s Board or (ii) as determined in good faith by the Manager’s Valuation Committee. The Valuation Committee considers all relevant facts that are reasonably available, through either public information or information available to the Manager, when determining the fair value of a security. Fair value determinations by the Manager are subject to review, approval and ratification by the Fund’s Board at its next regularly scheduled meeting covering the calendar quarter in which the fair valuation was determined. Those fair valuation standardized methodologies include, but are not limited to, valuing securities at the last sale price or initially at cost and subsequently adjusting the value based on: changes in company specific fundamentals, changes in an appropriate securities index, or changes in the value of similar securities which may be further adjusted for any discounts related to security-specific resale restrictions. When possible, such methodologies use observable market inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices of similar securities, observable interest rates, currency rates and yield curves. The methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities nor can it be assured that the Fund can obtain the fair value assigned to a security if it were to sell the security.
29 OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued
3. Securities Valuation (Continued)
To assess the continuing appropriateness of security valuations, the Manager, or its third party service provider who is subject to oversight by the Manager, regularly compares prior day prices, prices on comparable securities, and sale prices to the current day prices and challenges those prices exceeding certain tolerance levels with the third party pricing service or broker source. For those securities valued by fair valuations, whether through a standardized fair valuation methodology or a fair valuation determination, the Valuation Committee reviews and affirms the reasonableness of the valuations based on such methodologies and fair valuation determinations on a regular basis after considering all relevant information that is reasonably available.
Classifications
Each investment asset or liability of the Fund is assigned a level at measurement date based on the significance and source of the inputs to its valuation. Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:
1) Level 1-unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (including securities actively traded on a securities exchange)
2) Level 2-inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (such as unadjusted quoted prices for similar assets and market corroborated inputs such as interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risks, etc.)
3) Level 3-significant unobservable inputs (including the Manager’s own judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability).
The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.
The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of April 30, 2015 based on valuation input level:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

4. Investments and Risks
Equity Security Risk. Stocks and other equity securities fluctuate in price. The value of the Fund’s portfolio may be affected by changes in the equity markets generally. Equity markets may experience significant short-term volatility and may fall sharply at times. Different markets may behave differently from each other and U.S. equity markets may move in the opposite direction from one or more foreign stock markets. Adverse events in any part of the equity or fixed-income markets may have unexpected negative effects on other market segments.
The prices of individual equity securities generally do not all move in the same direction at the same time and a variety of factors can affect the price of a particular company’s securities. These factors may include, but are not limited to, poor earnings reports, a loss of customers, litigation against the company, general unfavorable performance of the company’s sector or industry, or changes in government regulations affecting the company or its industry.
Concentration Risk. Concentration risk is the risk that the Fund’s investments in securities of companies in one industry may cause it to be more exposed to changes in that industry or market sector as compared to a more broadly diversified fund.
The Fund invests primarily in the real estate industry.
5. Shares of Beneficial Interest

| | | | |
Fee Schedule | | | |
Up to $1.0 billion | | | 1.00 | % |
Over $1 billion | | | 0.80 | |

32 OPPENHEIMER GLOBAL REAL ESTATE FUND
7. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates (Continued)
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.
Sub-Sub-Adviser Fees. The Sub-Adviser retains the Sub-Sub-Adviser to provide the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. Under the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser pays the Sub-Sub-Adviser an annual fee in monthly installments, based on the average daily net assets of the Fund. The fee paid to the Sub-Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Sub-Advisory Agreement is paid by the Sub-Adviser, 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 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 with the compensation deferral plan.
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. 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 percentage of the transfer agent fee collected by the Transfer Agent from the Fund, which shall be calculated after any applicable fee waivers. The fee paid to the Sub-Transfer Agent is paid by the Transfer Agent, not by the Fund.
Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s classes of shares.
Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Service Plan (the “Plan”) for Class A shares 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.
Distribution and Service Plans for Class C and Class R Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class C and Class R shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act to compensate the Distributor for distributing those share classes, maintaining accounts and providing shareholder services. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class C shares daily net assets and 0.25% on Class R shares daily net assets. The Fund also pays a service fee under the Plans at an annual rate of 0.25% of daily net assets. The Plans continue in effect from year to year only if the Fund’s Board of Trustees vote annually to approve its continuance at an in person meeting called for that purpose. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations.
Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and 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.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Year Ended | | Class A Front-End Sales Charges Retained by Distributor | | | Class A Contingent Deferred Sales Charges Retained by Distributor | | | Class C Contingent Deferred Sales Charges Retained by Distributor | | | Class R Contingent Deferred Sales Charges Retained by Distributor | |
April 30, 2015 | | | $26,096 | | | | $39 | | | | $504 | | | | $39 | |
Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. The Manager has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses so that “Expenses after payments, waivers and/or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses”, excluding expenses incurred directly or indirectly by the Fund as a result of investments in other investment companies, wholly-owned subsidiaries and pooled investment vehicles; will not exceed 1.45% for Class A shares, 2.25% for Class C shares, 1.05% for Class I shares, 1.75% for Class R shares and 1.10% for Class Y shares.

During the year ended April 30, 2015, the Transfer Agent waived transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees as follows:
Waivers and/or reimbursements may be modified or terminated as set forth according to the terms in the prospectus.
8. Pending Litigation
In 2009, seven class action lawsuits were filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against OppenheimerFunds, Inc. (“OFI”), OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc., the Fund’s principal underwriter and distributor (the “Distributor”), and certain funds (but not including the Fund) advised by OFI Global Asset Management, Inc. and distributed by the Distributor (the “Defendant Funds”). The lawsuits also named as defendants certain officers and current and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The lawsuits raised claims under federal securities laws and alleged, among other things, that the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Funds contained misrepresentations and omissions and that the respective Defendant Funds’ investment policies were not followed. The plaintiffs in these actions sought unspecified damages, equitable relief and awards of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees also engaged counsel to represent the Funds and the present and former Independent Trustees named in those suits. In March 2014, the parties in six of these lawsuits executed stipulations and agreements of settlement resolving those actions. In July 2014, the court entered an order and final judgment approving the settlements as fair, reasonable and adequate. The settlements do not resolve a seventh outstanding lawsuit relating to Oppenheimer Rochester California Municipal Fund (the “California Fund Suit”). OFI believes the California Fund Suit is without legal merit and is defending the suit vigorously. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the outcome in the California Fund Suit, or whether any costs that OFI may bear in defending the California Fund Suit might not be reimbursed by insurance, OFI believes the California Fund Suit should not impair the ability of OFI or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of the California Fund Suit should not have any material effect on the operations of any of the Oppenheimer funds.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders of Oppenheimer Global Real Estate Fund:
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Global Real Estate Fund, including the statement of investments, as of April 30, 2015, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statement 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 or periods in the three-year period then ended. 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 audits 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 April 30, 2015, by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Oppenheimer Global Real Estate Fund as of April 30, 2015, 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 three-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

None of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 are eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.
A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended April 30, 2015 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.

In early 2015, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.

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.

Internet Security and Encryption
In general, the email services provided by our website are encrypted and provide a secure and private means of communication with us. To protect your own privacy, confidential and/or personal information should only be communicated via email when you are advised that you are using a secure website.
As a security measure, we do not include personal or account information in non-secure emails, and we advise you not to send such information to us in non-secure emails. Instead, you may take advantage of the secure features of our website to encrypt your email correspondence. To do this, you will need to use a browser that supports Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol.
We do not guarantee or warrant that any part of our website, including files available for download, are free of viruses or other harmful code. It is your responsibility to take appropriate precautions, such as use of an anti-virus software package, to protect your computer hardware and software.
— | | All transactions, including redemptions, exchanges and purchases, are secured by SSL and 256-bit encryption. SSL is used to establish a secure connection between your PC and OppenheimerFunds’ server. It transmits information in an encrypted and scrambled format. |
— | | Encryption is achieved through an electronic scrambling technology that uses a “key” to code and then decode the data. Encryption acts like the cable converter box you may have on your television set. It scrambles data with a secret code so that no one can make sense of it while it is being transmitted. When the data reaches its destination, the same software unscrambles the data. |

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