FUND PERFORMANCE DISCUSSION

How has the Fund performed? Below is a discussion by OppenheimerFunds, Inc., of the Fund’s performance during its fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, followed by a graphical comparison of the Fund’s performance to appropriate broad-based market indices.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance. Over the twelve-month reporting period ended October 31, 2009, Oppenheimer Rising Dividend Fund’s Class A shares (without sales charge) returned 3.35%, compared to the Russell 1000 Index (the “Index”), which returned 11.20%. The Fund underperformed primarily due to weaker relative stock selection within the information technology, healthcare, financials and consumer discretionary sectors.

A bull run for lower-quality stocks dominated the second half of the reporting period, which was not surprising given the extent to which many of these securities had seen their valuations plummet during the first half of the period. Despite the market volatility, the Fund maintained its focus on typically seeking higher-quality dividend-paying and dividend-growing stocks through a bottom-up stock selection approach. We have seen changes in market leadership between lower-quality stocks and higher-quality stocks in market cycles such as this before, and we believe the Fund is well-positioned for a market swing in which higher-quality stocks are again favored.

During the reporting period, top contributors to performance included financials holding T. Rowe Price Group, Inc.; information technology holdings Texas Instruments, Inc. and International Business Machines Corp.; materials holding BASF SE; and energy holding Occidental Petroleum Corp. We exited our position and locked in our gains in BASF SE.

Within information technology, the Fund underperformed primarily as a result of its overweight to Nintendo Co. Ltd. The stock declined given the significant economic head-winds Nintendo faced during the reporting period. The Fund’s underweight position to the computers and peripherals subsector, which held up well for the Index during the reporting period, also hurt relative performance.

The Fund underperformed within the healthcare sector, primarily within the healthcare equipment and supplies subsector. Individual detractors to performance included Bard (C.R.), Inc. and Stryker Corp., as these holdings underperformed during the tumultuous reporting period. We exited our position in Stryker Corp.

In financials, the Fund’s holdings within the commercial banks subsector hurt relative performance, as U.S. Bancorp, which we exited, performed poorly during the reporting period. An underweight to Wells Fargo & Co. detracted from relative performance as the stock rallied. The Fund also underperformed within the capital markets subsector.

10 | OPPENHEIMER RISING DIVIDENDS FUND

Within the consumer discretionary sector, not holding securities in the internet and catalog retail subsector, which produced strong returns for the Index, detracted from performance. An underweight position to the media and specialty retail subsectors also hurt relative performance.

At period end, the Fund had overweight positions to consumer discretionary, consumer staples, energy and healthcare, with underweights to financials, industrials, information technology and materials and roughly neutral weights to utilities and telecommunication services.

Comparing the Fund’s Performance to the Market. The graphs that follow show the performance of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in each class of shares of the Fund held until October 31, 2009. In the case of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class Y shares, performance is measured for a ten-fiscal-year period. In the case of Class N shares, performance is measured from inception of the Class on March 1, 2001. The Fund’s performance reflects the deduction of the maximum initial sales charge on Class A shares, the applicable contingent deferred sales charge on Class B, Class C and Class N shares, and reinvestments of all dividends and capital gains distributions. Past performance cannot guarantee future results.

The Fund’s performance is compared to the performance of the Standard & Poor’s (S&P) 500 Index, a broad-based index of equity securities and the Russell 1000 Index, an index that is a widely used measure of domestic, large-cap stock performance, and is made up of the top 1,000 stocks in the Russell 3000 Index. The indices performance includes reinvestment of income but does not reflect transaction costs, fees, expenses or taxes. The Fund’s performance reflects the effects of the Fund’s business and operating expenses. While index comparisons may be useful to provide a benchmark for the Fund’s performance, it must be noted that the Fund’s investments are not limited to the investments in the index.

The 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. For performance data current to the most recent month end, visit us at www.oppenheimerfunds.com, or call us at 1.800.525.7048. Fund returns include changes in share price, reinvested distributions, and the applicable sales charge: for Class A shares, the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%; for Class B shares, the contingent deferred sales charge of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year); and for Class C and N shares, the contingent 1% deferred sales charge for the 1-year period. There is no sales charge for Class Y shares. Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. See page 17 for further information.

NOTES

Total returns and the ending account values in the graphs include changes in share price and reinvestment of dividends and capital gains distributions in a hypothetical investment for the periods shown. The Fund’s total returns shown do not reflect the deduction of income taxes on an individual’s investment. Taxes may reduce your actual investment returns on income or gains paid by the Fund or any gains you may realize if you sell your shares.

Investors should consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, and other charges and expenses carefully before investing. The Fund’s prospectus and, if available, the Fund’s summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Fund, and may be obtained by asking your financial advisor, calling us at 1.800.525.7048 or visiting our website at www.oppenheimerfunds.com. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.

The Fund’s investment strategy and focus can change over time. The mention of specific fund holdings does not constitute a recommendation by OppenheimerFunds, Inc.

OppenheimerFunds, Inc. became the Fund’s advisor on 11/22/95, and assumed responsibility for the Fund’s portfolio stock selection on 1/1/05. The Fund’s subadvisor prior to 1/1/05 was OpCap Advisors, which was the Fund’s advisor prior to 11/22/95.

Class A shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 4/30/80. Unless otherwise noted, Class A returns include the current maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%.

Class B shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 9/1/93. Unless otherwise noted, Class B returns include the applicable contingent deferred sales charges of 5% (1-year) and 2% (5-year). Because Class B shares convert to Class A shares 72 months after purchase, the 10-year return for Class B uses Class A performance for the period after conversion. Class B shares are subject to an annual 0.75% asset-based sales charge.

Class C shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 9/1/93. Unless otherwise noted, Class C returns include the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. Class C shares are subject to an annual 0.75% asset-based sales charge.

Class N shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 3/1/01. Class N shares are offered only through retirement plans. Unless otherwise noted, Class N returns include the contingent deferred sales charge of 1% for the 1-year period. Class N shares are subject to an annual 0.25% asset-based sales charge.

Class Y shares of the Fund were first publicly offered on 12/16/96. Class Y shares are offered only to certain institutional investors under a special agreement with the Distributor, and to present or former officers, directors, trustees or employees (and their eligible family members) of the Fund, the Manager, its affiliates, its parent company and the subsidiaries of its parent company, and retirement plans established for the benefit of such individuals.

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

FUND EXPENSES

Fund Expenses. As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, which may include sales charges (loads) on purchase payments, contingent deferred sales charges on redemptions; and redemption fees (if applicable); and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and service fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The examples are based on an investment of $1,000.00 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire 6-month period ended October 31, 2009.

Actual Expenses. The first section of the table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this section for the class of shares you hold, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expense that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000.00 (for example, an $8,600.00 account value divided by $1,000.00 = 8.60), then multiply the result by the number in the first section under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes. The second section of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio for each class of shares, and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year for each class before expenses, which is not the actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example for the class of shares you hold with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as front-end or contingent deferred sales charges (loads), or a $12.00 fee imposed annually on accounts valued at less than $500.00 (subject to exceptions described in the Statement of Additional Information). Therefore, the “hypothetical” section of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Class N		1,000.00		1,018.40		6.89
Class Y		1,000.00		1,021.02		4.24

Expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized expense ratio for that class, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). Those annualized expense ratios, excluding indirect expenses from affiliated fund, based on the 6-month period ended October 31, 2009 are as follows:


Class	Expense Ratios

Class A		1.25	%
Class B		2.15
Class C		1.85
Class N		1.35
Class Y		0.83

The expense ratios reflect reduction to custodian expenses and voluntary waivers or reimbursements of expenses by the Fund’s Manager and Transfer Agent that can be terminated at any time, without advance notice. The “Financial Highlights” tables in the Fund’s financial statements, included in this report, also show the gross expense ratios, without such waivers or reimbursements and reduction to custodian expenses, if applicable.

Valuation Inputs

Various data inputs are used in determining the value of each of the Fund’s investments as of the reporting period end. These data inputs are categorized in the following hierarchy under applicable financial accounting standards:

	1)		Level 1—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 (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).

The table below categorizes amounts that are included in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities as of October 31, 2009 based on valuation input level:


					Level 3–

Class B, Class C and Class N shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”). Class N shares are sold only through retirement plans. Retirement plans that offer Class N shares may impose charges on those accounts. Class Y shares are sold to certain institutional investors without either a front-end sales charge or a CDSC, however, the institutional investor may impose charges on those accounts. All classes of shares have identical rights and voting privileges with respect to the Fund in general and exclusive voting rights on matters that affect that class alone. Earnings, net assets and net asset value per share may differ due to each class having its own expenses, such as transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees and shareholder communications, directly attributable to that class. Class A, B, C and N have separate distribution and/or service plans. No such plan has been adopted for Class Y shares. Class B shares will automatically convert to Class A shares 72 months after the date of purchase.

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

Securities Valuation. The Fund calculates the net asset value of its shares 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.

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. Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical securities are classified as “Level 1,” inputs other than unadjusted quoted prices for an asset that are observable are classified as “Level 2” and significant unobservable inputs, including the Manager’s judgment about the assumptions that a market participant would use in pricing an asset or liability are classified as “Level 3.” The inputs used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. A table summarizing the Fund’s investments under these levels of classification is included following the Statement of Investments.

Securities are valued using unadjusted quoted market prices, when available, as supplied primarily either by portfolio pricing services approved by the Board of Trustees or dealers.

Securities traded on a registered U.S. securities exchange are valued based on the last sale price of the security reported on the principal exchange on which traded, prior to

F15 | OPPENHEIMER RISING DIVIDENDS FUND

the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. Securities whose principal exchange is NASDAQ^® are valued based on the official closing prices reported by NASDAQ prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the last sale price on the prior trading day, if it is within the spread of the current day’s closing “bid” and “asked” prices, and if not, at the current day’s closing bid price. A foreign security traded on a foreign exchange is valued based on the last sale price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded, as identified by the portfolio pricing service used by the Manager, prior to the time when the Fund’s assets are valued. In the absence of a sale, the security is valued at the most recent official closing price on the principal exchange on which it is traded.

Shares of a registered investment company that are not traded on an exchange are valued at that investment company’s net asset value per share.

Corporate, government and municipal debt instruments having a remaining maturity in excess of sixty days and all mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and other asset-backed securities are valued at the mean between the “bid” and “asked” prices.

“Money market-type” debt instruments with remaining maturities 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.

In the absence of a readily available unadjusted quoted market price, including for securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Manager identifies as a significant event occurring before the Fund’s assets are valued but after the close of the securities’ respective exchanges, the Manager, acting through its internal valuation committee, in good faith determines the fair valuation of that asset using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Trustees (which reviews those fair valuations by the Manager). Those procedures include certain standardized methodologies to fair value securities. Such methodologies include, but are not limited to, pricing securities 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 adjusted for any discounts related to 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.

There have been no significant changes to the fair valuation methodologies during the period.

Foreign Currency Translation. The Fund’s accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies and amounts related to the purchase and sale of foreign securities and foreign investment income are translated into U.S. dollars as of the close of the Exchange, normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each

F16 | OPPENHEIMER RISING DIVIDENDS FUND

day the Exchange is open for trading. Foreign exchange rates may be valued primarily using a reliable bank, dealer or service authorized by the Board of Trustees.

Reported net realized gains and losses from foreign currency transactions arise from sales of portfolio securities, sales and maturities of short-term securities, sales of foreign currencies, exchange rate fluctuations between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Fund’s books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized appreciation and depreciation on the translation of assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies arise from changes in the values of assets and liabilities, including investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.

The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments is separately identified from the fluctuations arising from changes in market values of securities held and reported with all other foreign currency gains and losses in the Fund’s Statement of Operations.

Investment in Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund. The Fund is permitted to invest daily available cash balances in an affiliated money market fund. The Fund may invest the available cash in Class E shares of Oppenheimer Institutional Money Market Fund (“IMMF”) to seek current income while preserving liquidity. IMMF is a registered open-end management investment company, regulated as a money market fund under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Manager is also the investment adviser of IMMF. When applicable, the Fund’s investment in IMMF is included in the Statement of Investments. Shares of IMMF are valued at their net asset value per share. As a shareholder, the Fund is subject to its proportional share of IMMF’s Class E expenses, including its management fee. The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF.

Allocation of Income, Expenses, Gains and Losses. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class), gains and losses are allocated on a daily basis to each class of shares based upon the relative proportion of net assets represented by such class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class.

Federal Taxes. The Fund intends to comply with provisions of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its investment company taxable income, including any net realized gain on investments not offset by capital loss carryforwards, if any, to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income or excise tax provision is required. The Fund files income tax returns in U.S. federal and applicable state jurisdictions. The statute of limitations on the Fund’s tax return filings generally remain open for the three preceding fiscal reporting period ends.

1.		As of October 31, 2009, the Fund had $306,849,674 of net capital loss carryforwards available to offset future realized capital gains, if any, and thereby reduce future taxable gain distributions. As of October 31, 2009, details of the capital loss carryforwards were as follows:

2.		During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.

3.		During the fiscal year ended October 31, 2008, the Fund did not utilize any capital loss carryforward.

Net investment income (loss) and net realized gain (loss) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income or net realized gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. Also, due to timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which the income or net realized gain was recorded by the Fund.

Accordingly, the following amounts have been reclassified for October 31, 2009. Net assets of the Fund were unaffected by the reclassifications.

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


Federal tax cost of securities	$	1,408,038,241


Gross unrealized appreciation	$	101,903,845
Gross unrealized depreciation		(46,677,957	)

Trustees’ Compensation. The Fund has adopted an unfunded retirement plan (the “Plan”) for the Fund’s independent trustees. Benefits are based on years of service and fees paid to each trustee during their period of service. The Plan was frozen with respect to adding new participants effective December 31, 2006 (the “Freeze Date”) and existing Plan Participants as of the Freeze Date will continue to receive accrued benefits under the Plan. Active independent trustees as of the Freeze Date have each elected a distribution method with respect to their benefits under the Plan. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund’s projected benefit obligations, payments to retired trustees and accumulated liability were as follows:


Projected Benefit Obligations Increased	$	40,781
Payments Made to Retired Trustees		25,532
Accumulated Liability as of October 31, 2009		175,561

The Board of Trustees has adopted a compensation deferral plan for independent trustees that enables trustees to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of the annual compensation they are entitled to receive from the Fund. For purposes of determining the amount owed to the Trustee under the plan, deferred amounts are treated as though equal dollar amounts had been invested in shares of the Fund or in other Oppenheimer funds selected by the Trustee. The Fund purchases shares of the funds selected for deferral by the Trustee in amounts equal to his or her deemed investment, resulting in a Fund asset equal to the

F19 | OPPENHEIMER RISING DIVIDENDS FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

1. Significant Accounting Policies Continued

deferred compensation liability. Such assets are included as a component of “Other” within the asset section of the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Deferral of trustees’ fees under the plan will not affect the net assets of the Fund, and will not materially affect the Fund’s assets, liabilities or net investment income per share. Amounts will be deferred until distributed in accordance to the compensation deferral plan.

Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, which are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Income and capital gain distributions, if any, are declared and paid annually or at other times as deemed necessary by the Manager.

Investment Income. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date or upon ex-dividend notification in the case of certain foreign dividends where the ex-dividend date may have passed. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Interest income 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, 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.

F20 | OPPENHEIMER RISING DIVIDENDS FUND

Other. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Shares of Beneficial Interest

The Fund has authorized an unlimited number of $1.00 par value shares of beneficial interest of each class. Transactions in shares of beneficial interest were as follows:

4. Fees and Other Transactions with Affiliates

Management Fees. Under the investment advisory agreement, the Fund pays the Manager a management fee based on the daily net assets of the Fund at an annual rate as shown in the following table:


Fee Schedule

Up to $800 million	0.65	%
Next $700 million	0.60
Next $1.0 billion	0.58
Over $2.5 billion	0.56

Transfer Agent Fees. OppenheimerFunds Services (“OFS”), a division of the Manager, acts as the transfer and shareholder servicing agent for the Fund. The Fund pays OFS a per account fee. For the year ended October 31, 2009, the Fund paid $3,321,730 to OFS for services to the Fund.

Additionally, Class Y shares are subject to minimum fees of $10,000 annually for assets of $10 million or more. The Class Y shares are subject to the minimum fees in the event that the per account fee does not equal or exceed the applicable minimum fees. OFS may voluntarily waive the minimum fees.

Distribution and Service Plan (12b-1) Fees. Under its General Distributor’s Agreement with the Fund, OppenheimerFunds Distributor, Inc. (the “Distributor”) acts as the Fund’s principal underwriter in the continuous public offering of the Fund’s classes of shares.

F22 | OPPENHEIMER RISING DIVIDENDS FUND

Distribution and Service Plan for Class A Shares. The Fund has adopted a Distribution and Service Plan (the “Plan”) for Class A shares. Under the Plan, the Fund pays a service fee to the Distributor of 0.25% of the daily net assets of Class A shares. The Distributor currently uses all of those fees to pay dealers, brokers, banks and other financial institutions periodically for providing personal services and maintenance of accounts of their customers that hold Class A shares. Under the Plan, the Fund may also pay an asset-based sales charge to the Distributor. The Board of Trustees has voluntarily reduced the annual
asset-based sales charge to zero. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plan are detailed in the Statement of Operations.

Distribution and Service Plans for Class B, Class C and Class N Shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution and Service Plans (the “Plans”) for Class B, Class C and Class N shares under Rule 12b-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 to compensate the Distributor for its services in connection with the distribution of those shares and servicing accounts. Under the Plans, the Fund pays the Distributor an annual asset-based sales charge of 0.75% on Class B and Class C shares daily net assets and 0.25% on Class N shares daily net assets. The Distributor also receives a service fee of 0.25% per year under each plan. If either the Class B, Class C or Class N plan is terminated by the Fund or by the shareholders of a class, the Board of Trustees and its independent trustees must determine whether the Distributor shall be entitled to payment from the Fund of all or a portion of the service fee and/or asset-based sales charge in respect to shares sold prior to the effective date of such termination. Fees incurred by the Fund under the Plans are detailed in the Statement of Operations. The Distributor determines its uncompensated expenses under the Plans at calendar quarter ends. The Distributor’s aggregate uncompensated expenses under the Plans at September 30, 2009 were as follows:


Class B	$	3,899,700
Class C		4,893,657
Class N		956,950

Sales Charges. Front-end sales charges and contingent deferred sales charges (“CDSC”) do not represent expenses of the Fund. They are deducted from the proceeds of sales of Fund shares prior to investment or from redemption proceeds prior to remittance, as applicable. The sales charges retained by the Distributor from the sale of shares and the CDSC retained by the Distributor on the redemption of shares is shown in the following table for the period indicated.

Waivers and Reimbursements of Expenses. Effective from November 17, 2008 to November 16, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses so that the “Total Annual Operating Expenses” will not exceed 1.85% of average annual net assets for Class C shares and 1.35% of average annual net assets for Class N shares. These expense limitations do no include extraordinary expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Manager reimbursed the Fund $292,026 and $75,195 for Class C and Class N shares, respectively. This voluntary waiver may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

The Manager has agreed to reimburse the Fund for certain costs associated with soliciting proxies for the special shareholder meeting as described below. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Manager reimbursed the Fund $32,010 for proxy related costs.

OFS has voluntarily agreed to limit transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees for all classes to 0.35% of average annual net assets per class. This undertaking may be amended or withdrawn at any time.

During the year ended October 31, 2009, OFS waived transfer and shareholder servicing agent fees as follows:


Class B	$	149,178
Class C		3,465
Class N		12,555

The Manager will waive fees and/or reimburse Fund expenses in an amount equal to the indirect management fees incurred through the Fund’s investment in IMMF. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Manager waived $34,049 for IMMF management fees.

5. Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts

The Fund may enter into current and forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purchase or sale of a foreign currency at a negotiated rate at a future date.

Foreign currency exchange contracts are reported on a schedule following the Statement of Investments. These contracts will be valued daily based upon the closing prices of the currency rates determined at the close of the Exchange as provided by a bank, dealer or pricing service. The resulting unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is reported in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a receivable or payable and in the Statement of Operations within the change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). At contract close, the difference between the original cost of the contract and the value at the close date is recorded as a realized gain (loss) in the Statement of Operations.

The Fund has purchased and sold foreign currency exchange contracts of different currencies in order to acquire currencies to pay for related foreign securities purchase

F24 | OPPENHEIMER RISING DIVIDENDS FUND

transactions, or to convert foreign currencies to U.S. dollars from related foreign securities sale transactions. These foreign currency exchange contracts are negotiated at the current spot exchange rate with settlement typically within two business days thereafter.

Additional associated risk to the Fund includes counterparty credit risk. Counterparty credit risk arises from the possibility that the counterparty will default. If the counter-party defaults, the Fund’s loss will consist of the net amount of contractual payments that the Fund has not yet received.

As of October 31, 2009, the Fund held no outstanding forward contracts.

6. Subsequent Events Evaluation

The Fund has evaluated the need for disclosures and/or adjustments resulting from subsequent events through December 16, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued. This evaluation determined that there are no subsequent events that necessitated disclosures and/or adjustments.

7. Acquisition of Oppenheimer Dividend Growth Fund

On November 13, 2008, the Fund acquired all of the net assets of Oppenheimer Dividend Growth Fund, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization approved by the Oppenheimer Dividend Growth Fund shareholders on November 7, 2008. The Fund issued (at an exchange ratio of 0.686816 for Class A, 0.751047 for Class B, 0.752626 for Class C and 0.693418 for Class N of the Fund to one share of Oppenheimer Dividend Growth Fund) 7,127,545; 987,395; 1,716,160 and 233,833 shares of beneficial interest for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class N, respectively, valued at $87,241,151, $11,019,325, $19,100,859 and $2,831,722 in exchange for the net assets, resulting in combined Class A net assets of $631,628,331, Class B net assets of $71,849,088, Class C net assets of $97,658,544 and Class N net assets of $24,516,804 on November 13, 2008. The net assets acquired included net unrealized depreciation of $27,980,082 and an unused capital loss carryforward of $9,747,203 potential utilization subject to tax limitations. The exchange qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes.

8. Pending Litigation

During 2009, a number of lawsuits have been filed in federal courts against the Manager, the Distributor, and certain mutual funds (“Defendant Funds”) advised by the Manager and distributed by the Distributor (but not against the Fund). The lawsuits naming the Defendant Funds also name certain officers, trustees and former trustees of the respective Defendant Funds. The plaintiffs seek class action status on behalf of purchasers of shares of the respective Defendant Fund during a particular time period. The lawsuits

F25 | OPPENHEIMER RISING DIVIDENDS FUND

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Continued

8. Pending Litigation Continued

against the Defendant Funds raise claims under federal securities laws alleging that, among other things, the disclosure documents of the respective Defendant Fund contained misrepresentations and omissions, that such Defendant Fund’s investment policies were not followed, and that such Defendant Fund and the other defendants violated federal securities laws and regulations. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.

A lawsuit has been brought in state court against the Manager, the Distributor and another subsidiary of the Manager (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the Oregon College Savings Plan Trust, and other lawsuits have been brought in state court against the Manager and that subsidiary (but not against the Fund), on behalf of the New Mexico Education Plan Trust. An agreement in principal has been reached to settle the lawsuit on behalf of the Oregon College Savings Plan Trust. All of these lawsuits allege breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence and violation of state securities laws, and seek compensatory damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses.

Other lawsuits have been filed in 2008 and 2009 in various state and federal courts, by investors who made investments through an affiliate of the Manager, against the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Those lawsuits relate to the alleged investment fraud perpetrated by Bernard Madoff and his firm (“Madoff ”) and allege a variety of claims, including breach of fiduciary duty, fraud, negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, and violation of federal and state securities laws and regulations, among others. They seek unspecified damages, equitable relief and an award of attorneys’ fees and litigation expenses. None of the suits have named the Distributor, any of the Oppenheimer mutual funds or any of their independent Trustees or Directors. None of the Oppenheimer funds invested in any funds or accounts managed by Madoff.

The Manager believes that the lawsuits described above are without legal merit and intends to defend them vigorously. The Defendant Funds’ Boards of Trustees have also engaged counsel to defend the suits vigorously on behalf of those Funds, their boards and the Trustees named in those suits. While it is premature to render any opinion as to the likelihood of an outcome in these lawsuits, or whether any costs that the Defendant Funds may bear in defending the suits might not be reimbursed by insurance, the Manager believes that these suits should not impair the ability of the Manager or the Distributor to perform their respective duties to the Fund, and that the outcome of all of the suits together 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 Rising Dividends Fund:

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Oppenheimer Rising Dividends Fund, formerly Oppenheimer Rising Dividends Fund, Inc., including the statement of investments, as of October 31, 2009, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of October 31, 2009, 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 Rising Dividends Fund as of October 31, 2009, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

FEDERAL INCOME TAX INFORMATION Unaudited

In early 2009, if applicable, shareholders of record received information regarding all dividends and distributions paid to them by the Fund during calendar year 2008. Regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department require the Fund to report this information to the Internal Revenue Service.

Dividends, if any, paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions should be multiplied by 100% to arrive at the amount eligible for the corporate dividend-received deduction.

A portion, if any, of the dividends paid by the Fund during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009 which are not designated as capital gain distributions are eligible for lower individual income tax rates to the extent that the Fund has received qualified dividend income as stipulated by recent tax legislation. $38,600,691 of the Fund’s fiscal year taxable income may be eligible for the lower individual income tax rates. In early 2009, shareholders of record received information regarding the percentage of distributions that are eligible for lower individual income tax rates.

Recent tax legislation allows a regulated investment company to designate distributions not designated as capital gain distributions, as either interest related dividends or short-term capital gain dividends, both of which are exempt from the U.S. withholding tax applicable to non U.S. taxpayers. For the fiscal year ended October 31, 2009, $5,205 or 0.02% of the ordinary distributions paid by the Fund qualifies as an interest related dividend.

The foregoing information is presented to assist shareholders in reporting distributions received from the Fund to the Internal Revenue Service. Because of the complexity of the federal regulations which may affect your individual tax return and the many variations in state and local tax regulations, we recommend that you consult your tax advisor for specific guidance.

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited

Each year, the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), including a majority of the independent Trustees, is required to determine whether to renew the Fund’s investment advisory agreement (the “Agreement”). The Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, requires that the Board request and evaluate, and that the Manager provide, such information as may be reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Agreement. The Board employs an independent consultant to prepare a report that provides information, including comparative information that the Board requests for that purpose. In addition, the Board receives information throughout the year regarding Fund services, fees, expenses and performance.

The Manager and the independent consultant provided information to the Board on the following factors: (i) the nature, quality and extent of the Manager’s services, (ii) the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, (iii) the fees and expenses of the Fund, including comparative expense information, (iv) the profitability of the Manager and its affiliates, including an analysis of the cost of providing services, (v) whether economies of scale are realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for Fund investors and (vi) other benefits to the Manager from its relationship with the Fund. The Board was aware that there are alternatives to retaining the Manager.

Outlined below is a summary of the principal information considered by the Board as well as the Board’s conclusions.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services. The Board considered information about the nature, quality, and extent of the services provided to the Fund and information regarding the Manager’s key personnel who provide such services. The Manager’s duties include providing the Fund with the services of the portfolio managers and the Manager’s investment team, who provide research, analysis and other advisory services in regard to the Fund’s investments; securities trading services; oversight of third party service providers; monitoring compliance with applicable Fund policies and procedures and adherence to the Fund’s investment restrictions. The Manager is responsible for providing certain administrative services to the Fund as well. Those services include providing and supervising all administrative and clerical personnel who are necessary in order to provide effective corporate administration for the Fund; compiling and maintaining records with respect to the Fund’s operations; preparing and filing reports required by the Securities and Exchange Commission; preparing periodic reports regarding the operations of the Fund for its shareholders; preparing proxy materials for shareholder meetings; and preparing the registration statements required by Federal and state securities laws for the

BOARD APPROVAL OF THE FUND’S INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT Unaudited / Continued

sale of the Fund’s shares. The Manager also provides the Fund with office space, facilities and equipment.

The Board also considered the quality of the services provided and the quality of the Manager’s resources that are available to the Fund. The Board took account of the fact that the Manager has had over forty years of experience as an investment adviser and that its assets under management rank it among the top mutual fund managers in the United States. The Board evaluated the Manager’s advisory, administrative, accounting, legal and compliance services, and information the Board has received regarding the experience and professional qualifications of the Manager’s key personnel and the size and functions of its staff. In its evaluation of the quality of the portfolio management services provided, the Board considered the experience of Neil McCarthy and Joseph Higgins, the portfolio managers for the Fund, and the Manager’s investment team and analysts. The Board members also considered the totality of their experiences with the Manager as directors or trustees of the Fund and other funds advised by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the quality of services provided by affiliates of the Manager, which its members have become knowledgeable about in connection with the renewal of the Fund’s service agreements. The Board concluded, in light of the Manager’s experience, reputation, personnel, operations and resources that the Fund benefits from the services provided under the Agreement.

Investment Performance of the Manager and the Fund. Throughout the year, the Manager provided information on the investment performance of the Fund and the Manager, including comparative performance information. The Board also reviewed information, prepared by the Manager and by the independent consultant, comparing the Fund’s historical performance to relevant market indices and to the performance of other retail front-end load and no-load large-cap core funds. The Board noted that the Fund’s one-year, three-year, five-year and ten-year performance was better than its peer group median.

Costs of Services by the Manager. The Board reviewed the fees paid to the Manager and the other expenses borne by the Fund. The Board also considered the comparability of the fees charged and the services provided to the Fund to the fees and services for other clients or accounts advised by the Manager. The independent consultant provided comparative data in regard to the fees and expenses of the Fund and other large-cap core funds with comparable asset levels and distribution features. Effective from November 17, 2008 through November 16, 2009, the Manager has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses so that the total expenses will not exceed 1.85% of average annual net assets for Class C shares and 1.35% of average annual net

24 | OPPENHEIMER RISING DIVIDENDS FUND

assets for Class N shares. This voluntary waiver may be amended or withdrawn at any time. The Board noted that the Fund’s contractual and actual management fees and total expenses were lower than or equal to its peer group median.

Economies of Scale and Profits Realized by the Manager. The Board considered information regarding the Manager’s costs in serving as the Fund’s investment adviser, including the costs associated with the personnel and systems necessary to manage the Fund, and information regarding the Manager’s profitability from its relationship with the Fund. The Board reviewed whether the Manager may realize economies of scale in managing and supporting the Fund. The Board noted that the Fund currently has management fee breakpoints, which are intended to share with Fund shareholders economies of scale that may exist as the Fund’s assets grow.

Other Benefits to the Manager. In addition to considering the profits realized by the Manager, the Board considered information that was provided regarding the direct and indirect benefits the Manager receives as a result of its relationship with the Fund, including compensation paid to the Manager’s affiliates and research provided to the Manager in connection with permissible brokerage arrangements (soft dollar arrangements). The Board also considered that the Manager must be able to pay and retain experienced professional personnel at competitive rates to provide quality services to the Fund.

Conclusions. These factors were also considered by the independent Trustees meeting separately from the full Board, assisted by experienced counsel to the Fund and to the independent Trustees. Fund counsel and the independent Trustees’ counsel are independent of the Manager within the meaning and intent of the Securities and Exchange Commission Rules.

Based on its review of the information it received and its evaluations described above, the Board, including a majority of the independent Trustees, decided to continue the Agreement through September 30, 2010. In arriving at this decision, the Board did not single out any factor or factors as being more important than others, but considered all of the above information, and considered the terms and conditions of the Agreement, including the management fee, in light of all of the surrounding circumstances.

Householding – Delivery of Shareholder Documents

This is to inform you about OppenheimerFunds’ “householding” policy. If more than one member of your household maintains an account in a particular fund, OppenheimerFunds will mail only one copy of the fund’s prospectus, 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.

The Fund’s Governance Committee Provisions with Respect to Nominations of Directors/Trustees to the Respective Boards

1.		The Fund’s Governance Committee (the “Committee”) will evaluate potential Board candidates to assess their qualifications. The Committee shall have the authority, upon approval of the Board, to retain an executive search firm to assist in this effort. The Committee may consider recommendations by business and personal contacts of current Board members and by executive search firms which the Committee may engage from time to time and may also consider shareholder recommendations. The Committee may consider the advice and recommendation of the Funds’ investment manager and its affiliates in making the selection.

2.		The Committee shall screen candidates for Board membership. The Committee has not established specific qualifications that it believes must be met by a trustee nominee. In evaluating trustee nominees, the Committee considers, among other things, an individual’s background, skills, and experience; whether the individual is an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940; and whether the individual would be deemed an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of applicable SEC rules. The Committee also considers whether the individual’s background, skills, and experience will complement the background, skills, and experience of other nominees and will contribute to the Board. There are no differences in the manner in which the Committee evaluates nominees for trustees based on whether the nominee is recommended by a shareholder.

3.		The Committee may consider nominations from shareholders for the Board at such times as the Committee meets to consider new nominees for the Board. The Committee shall have the sole discretion to determine the candidates to present to the

Board and, in such cases where required, to shareholders. Recommendations for trustee nominees should, at a minimum, be accompanied by the following:

	•		the name, address, and business, educational, and/or other pertinent background of the person being recommended;

	•		a statement concerning whether the person is an “interested person” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940;

	•		any other information that the Funds would be required to include in a proxy statement concerning the person if he or she was nominated; and

	•		the name and address of the person submitting the recommendation and, if that person is a shareholder, the period for which that person held Fund shares.

The recommendation also can include any additional information which the person submitting it believes would assist the Committee in evaluating the recommendation.

4.		Shareholders should note that a person who owns securities issued by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (the parent company of the Funds’ investment adviser) would be deemed an “interested person” under the Investment Company Act of 1940. In addition, certain other relationships with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company or its subsidiaries, with registered broker-dealers, or with the Funds’ outside legal counsel may cause a person to be deemed an “interested person.”

5.		Before the Committee decides to nominate an individual as a trustee, Committee members and other directors customarily interview the individual in person. In addition, the individual customarily is asked to complete a detailed questionnaire which is designed to elicit information which must be disclosed under SEC and stock exchange rules and to determine whether the individual is subject to any statutory disqualification from serving as a trustee of a registered investment company.

Item 11. Controls and Procedures.

Based on their evaluation of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in rule 30a-3(c) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (17 CFR 270.30a-3(c)) as of 10/31/2009, the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer found the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurances that information required to be disclosed by the registrant in the reports that it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (a) is accumulated and communicated to registrant’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and (b) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

There have been no changes in the registrant’s internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s second fiscal quarter of the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
